Volume 1 Chapter 41 (2/2)
This time, it's P'Pha who handed me the award. Hmm... so this means he won the same award last year. I wonder how many roses he got back then, huh? He puts the sash around my shoulders down to my waist. (Ai'Ming is whistling on the background) before he whispers something next to my ear. ”So d.a.m.n popular, huh?” I smiled a bit. It has nothing to do with the compliment, but it's because he had finally found a way to talk to me on stage.
With all these three sashes, I'm now willing to take the fifth place. I don't want any more awards. This is way too much for me.
The next hailed Campus Star is Kook'Kai as what everyone had expected. Nate took the fourth place and she seems so happy with the result. Now it's time to announce the next Campus Moon who will follow P'Pha's footsteps. Can you guess who won?
Yup... It's Ming, my best friend.

He jumps for joy like a football player who has just made a goal. Everybody is laughing at him including the hosts for tonight's event. He deserves it, there's no doubt of course. Ming is perfect to receive the award. He's the most appropriate person to be Doc'Phana's follower.
As for me? I'm at the third place while Suthee is next in line with Ai'Ming. I am totally happy with the results.
That's it for this compet.i.tion... It took us more than four weeks to complete this whole activity. Now, I'm glad that it's all done.
*******
After the Compet.i.tion...

”Are you sure you're not coming? It'll be my treat na...” Jae'Ging is whining the moment she finds out I'm not joining them for the Hot Pot meal.
”I'm really sorry, khrub.” I apologized.
I could barely handle all my stuff. One hand holds my garment bag containing all my clothes along with a separate bag which contains all awards and sashes I won during the compet.i.tion. As for my other hand, well, it holds the largest bouquet of roses given by P'Beam a while ago. I don't know where my other roses went, I mean those roses given by my friends and supporters. The one I hold in my hand are only 99 roses all in all. It's too bad I haven't got the opportunity to show them my grat.i.tude. It was thanks to P'Beam and P'Kit I got the popularity vote in the first place.
”Fine... We'll see each other on the next activities to come anyway.”
”You've got it, khrub...”
”Nong'Yo... I'm so proud of you, my boy... You did well today.”
”This is all because of you khrub, Jae'Ging...”
”Aren't those heavy?” P'Pha comes out of nowhere as he takes the bags from me.
”Well, I guess I wasn't me who took very good care of you after all... It's all thanks to last year's Campus Moon... Am I right, Phana?”
”I have no idea...” P'Pha teases back.
”Whatever... Have a sweet night together na kha... I need to go to the Hot Pot place now... Later guys.”
I waved at Jae'Ging who's now walking along with Nate. I also haven't forgotten to thank everyone for the past several weeks of wonderful moments we have shared together. At the same time, I'm also thankful that this has finally come to an end... I can relax from now on.
I waii at all of them.
Anyway, where's Ai'Ming? P'Kit and P'Beam too?
”Who are you looking for? Let's go... Let's have dinner together.” P'Pha pushes me to walk ahead.
”Wait... I haven't said 'thank you' to P'Beam and P'Kit yet.”
”And why do you need to do that?”
”Well, because of these flowers...” I showed him the bouquet of roses I'm hugging. ”I got the 'Most Popular Award' because of them.”
”Hmm... I don't think so.” P'Pha says.
”Why not?”
”My 2,000 Baht went to that thing alone.” He smirks as he walks forward that I have to go run after him.

”Are all these yours, then?”
”Who else do you think will give them to you?”
”Really?”
”Really...” Hey! He's walking too fast. ”You're asking too many questions.”
”No kidding?”
”Yo... Come on, stop being such a jerk.” P'Pha tries to grab me by the hand but I slip away so he couldn't get me.
”That makes me very happy, but... Why didn't you give them to me yourself?”
”How could it possibly be? I'm at the stage too, remember?”
He walks to his car as he presses on the remote control to open the car trunk for me.
Holy Mother of Roses!!! There are about hundreds of them carefully arranged in a neat pile that it almost looked dazzlingly romantic.

It's beautiful...
”All these are only for you...”
I can see the University stamp on each rose.
”These are from the others too, right?”
”They are already here for you.”
”Ooh... You did this when I went to get changed, right?”
”Yep... I was lucky you're moving so slow.” It was the only time I noticed his s.h.i.+rt have gone all wet and dirty after arranging these flowers in his trunk.
”P'Pha...” I'm saying it in a very nice way.
”Hmm?”
”Thank you...”
”Give me a kiss then.” He bends down to give me his cheek.

”No...” I said flatly as I went to open the door to get inside his car.
”Yo...” P'Pha cries in disappointment. He then closes the trunk and... I don't know... It caused my heart to beat uncontrollably.
Oh, shut the f.u.c.k up, Yo... Just do it already!
The moment he hopped in the driver seat, put his seatbelt on and everything, I decided to pull my face close to him to give him a kiss on the cheek.
I didn't see it coming. He turns to face me instead.
My lips landed on his!

FUUUCK!!!
Don't look at my face! I don't know how my face looks right now... ?
”Hahahaha...”
This giant a.s.shole is laughing uncontrollably before my stupid face. He's obviously getting way too happy right now.
