Chapter 75 The Fiancé And The Lover

In the emergency waiting area, Santichai sat far away from the Siriporn family. He waited three hours when a doctor came out to talk to the Siriporns. Santichai couldn't hear what the doctor said to the Siriporns, but Mrs. Siriporn burst into tears, and she fell back into Decha's arms.

Santichai's saw Mrs. Siriporn's actions and knew that the news the doctor had brought to the Siriporns was not good news. He lowered his head and watched as his tears stained the dirty white shiny floor. He wiped his tears and watched as the Siriporn followed one of the nurses back to the room. He wanted to follow them, but he knew Mrs. Siriporn would be more upset when she saw him, so he decided to wait for Decha to come get him.

While waiting, still deeply guilty and worried about Asnee's condition, a woman's voice made Santichai look up. He looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him, next to a man in a suit.

Tipkamol asked, "Do you mind if I sit here?"

Santichai said, "You can sit."

Tipkamol sat next to Santichai and looked at him. She smiled and said, "I'm Asnee's fiancé, Tipkamol Chongchit."

Sitting so close to Asnee's fiancé makes Santichai's heart race. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't dare to look Tipkamol in the eyes. He inhaled lightly and let it out slowly, ready to listen to Tipkamol's insults. Santichai knew that Tipkamol would insult him as much as Mrs. Siriporn. But since he has decided to come here, he has already decided that he will not care what others say to him.

Tipkamol looked at Santichai who didn't dare to look at her, Santichai held his hand tightly and looked down at the floor. She chuckled and said, "Asnee's description of you is too accurate."

Santichai looked up at Tipkamol. He asked in a low voice, almost in a whisper, "What do you mean?"

Tipkamol smiled at Santichai and said, "You may not know me, but I know you, Santichai Kittibun, Asnee's lover."

Santichai is surprised to find that Tipkamol knows Santichai. He asked, "You... how did you know me?"

Tipkamol said, "Asnee mentioned you a lot when we talked."

Santichai asked, "He talked about me when he was with you?"

"Of course, he has nothing to share with me other than talking about you," Tipkamol said.

Santichai said, "I don't understand."

"Asnee and I had opened up when we first met," Tipkamol said. "He told me he couldn't date or marry me because he had a lover waiting for him at home." She smiled, looking at Yang, her bodyguard a few yards away. "I also told Asnee that I have a lover of my own."

Santichai asked, "If that's the case, why are you two engaged?"

Tipkamol said, "It was my idea. I knew my parents would never let me marry my boyfriend if I didn't get married, so I came up with a proposal. Do you want to know?"

Santichai nodded, "Mmm."

Tipkamol said, "I proposed to Asnee that after we got engaged, we could live apart. I would live with my boyfriend and Asnee would live with you. We will delay our wedding as long as possible and, at the same time, save money. No need to rely on our parents' support anymore. At first, Asnee refused to accept it, afraid, he might break your heart. He told me he would come back to talk to you, and if you agreed, he would call me back." She looked at Santichai. "Did he get your permission?"

Santichai's heart aches badly. He was overwhelmed and didn't know what to say. He couldn't find anything in his heart to say to Tipkamol, and he felt deeply guilty. All he could do was nod to Tipkamol.

Tipkamol looked up and saw a man standing by the door, his left hand covering his mouth, talking on the phone in the corner of the hospital. "Looking at the man over there reminded me of that night last year."

Santichai looked at the man standing in the corner and asked, "What happened last year?"

Tipkamol said, "Last year, Asnee wanted to spend your birthday with you, but he insisted on signing a contract with a very rude client. If the contract is successfully signed, twenty percent profit would be solely his. He was happy at the time because he knew that this was his first step to saving money for you and him." She sighed. "But the client doesn't sign the contract until after dinner, so Asnee, my father, and I had to take the client to dinner. After the contract was signed, Asnee excused himself and stood in the corner calling you like that man. Although I was sitting far away, I could see the happiness on his face."

Hearing what Tipkamol said, a sense of guilt spread all over Santichai's body, as if thousands of lightning bolts hit him all at once.

Tipkamol chuckled and said, "Speaking of Asnee's silliness, it suddenly reminded me of when Asnee asked me to help him choose a ring for you. Pi Yang and I went to the airport to pick him up. We went to the store. It took us hours to get your engagement ring. That night, Asnee took us to see the finished house. We partyed until morning with two of his friends. He was nervous about asking you to marry him. I took his phone took a picture of the ring on his finger and sent it to you. When you texted back that you liked it. He was so excited that he actually called you." She chuckled lightly. "Because he called you, we punished him by drinking a whole bottle of vodka by himself. He spent the next two days in bed due to a hangover."

Santichai could no longer hold back the tears and began to cry. The more he listened to other people's stories about Asnee, the more guilty he became.

Tipkamol asked, "What's wrong?"

Santichai continued to cry in tears. He said, "Nothing wrong, I feel like a jerk, that's all. I did a lot of bad things to Asnee that I shouldn't have done."

"I'm sure Asnee won't be mad at you no matter what you do," Tipkamol said, looking at Santichai, who was still crying. "Khun, although you and Asnee broke up once, now that you two have decided to get back together, you shouldn't keep those unpleasant feelings around. I think..." She smiled. "I think I know how you feel. Once I was in your shoes. I broke up with my boyfriend because I was confused and scared. Until I heard Asnee and your story, the story of when you were injured on your back."

Santichai suddenly looked up at Tipkalmol. He said, "What? He..."

Tipkamol smiled and said, "Yes, he told me the story of your breakup. He said that when he learned you were in the hospital, he rushed to see you. When he saw you in pain in that hospital bed, he realized he loved you very much, and he couldn't live without you. So, he asked for your forgiveness, and you two got back together again. Asnee also said that the fear of losing you, gave him the courage to fight for the two of you. With that story, I went back and begged Pi Yang for his forgiveness."

Santichai was ashamed, he looked down at the floor because he thought at the time, he was dreaming of Asnee coming to visit him, but now listening to Tipkamol, the dream he has always believed, was not a dream after all.

Santichai asked, "Does your boyfriend know about Asnee and you?"

Tipkamol said, "Of course he knew."

Santichai asked, "Will he agree?"

Tipkamol said, "He agreed, and we talked before I proposed it to Asnee." Tipkamol smiled. "I forgot to introduce my boyfriend to you." She looked at bodyguard Yang. "Santichai, this is my boyfriend Yang."

Santichai asked, "Is your bodyguard your boyfriend?"

Tipkamol smiled, "Mmm..." She grabbed Santichai's right hand and stood up. "Sorry, I've been chatting for too long. Asnee is in room thirty-two. Let's go see him. He must want to see you."

Santichai quickly followed Tipkamol and bodyguard Yang to Room number thirty-two, but he stopped in the hallway. He said, "I better wait here."

Tipkamol asked, "Aren't you going in?"

Santichai said, "Khun nai Siriporn doesn't like me. She's already very stressed; I don't want to put extra pressure on her."

Santichai watched Tipkamol and Yang entered the room. He stood outside Asnee's room for two full hours when the door suddenly opened, and Mrs. Siriporn came out with Tipkamol.

As soon as Mrs. Siriporn saw Santichai, she rushed to Santichai, grabbed Santichai's arm with her left hand, and started hitting Santichai with her right hand. She vented her anger on Santichai, "Bastard! Dirty! Shameless! Why are you here? Go away! Go away! You forebode evil!"

Decha rushed over quickly and pulled Mrs. Siriporn away from Santichai. He stood in front of Santichai and said, "Auntie please, this is the hospital."

Mrs. Siriporn said madly, "Frank, step away..."

Decha said, "Auntie..." She looked at Tipkamol. "Please don't make trouble, Khun Chongchit is also here."

Tipkamol held Mrs. Siriporn and said, "Auntie, let's go back to rest. You must've been tired."

Mrs. Siriporn took her hand away. "I'm not going." She stared frantically at Santichai.

Mr. Siriporn sighed and said, "Khun, let's go back."

Mrs. Siriporn said, "I will not leave this room, so this forebode evil can enter my son's room."

"You're not embarrassed by your actions here, but I am," Mr. Siriporn said, staring frantically at Mrs. Siriporn and Santichai. He walked quickly towards the exit.

Tipkamol said, "Auntie, you go to rest first, I'll stay here with Asnee."

"Yes, when we're stressed out, we often don't think before we speak. Auntie, khun Chongchit is Asnee's fiancé, she can stay here to take care of him," Decha said.

Mrs. Siriporn stared angrily at Santichai. She looked at Tipkamol and said, "Do not let this foreboding evil inside Asnee's room!"

"I won't let him in," Tipkamol said with a smile. Decha quickly took Mrs. Siriporn away. Tipkamol looked at Santichai and smiled. "Pi Yang, let's go."

Santichai's hands were shaking when he pushed the door open. When he entered the room, he saw Asnee lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He walked over slowly, sat beside the bed for a while, then reached out and took Asnee's hand. He put Asnee's hand on his chest, leaned forward, rested his head on the bed, and held Asnee's hand.

Asnee slowly opened his eyes and looked down at Santichai, his left hand slowly reached out to touch Santichai's head, but suddenly realized that although Santichai was here alone, KK should be standing outside the door waiting for Santichai. He slowly retracted his hand and continued to close his eyes.
