### 5 Months Later ####

Pie was sitting on her rocking chair in her dark bedroom wearing a black long tee with black pajamas.
The wide open window let the cool breeze come in and touch her beautiful fair cheeks making her soft flyaway hair flutter

Her eyes were closed , head leaning backward on the top edge of the backrest of chair and her hands flowing down from the hand rest

"Today its been 167 days i didn't meet you
You know what today is the first anniversary of our first movie date..
You were screaming like a baby..." Pie smirked in her thoughts

" I miss you Kim
I miss you every day every hour very minute every second 
With every breath of mine I look for your scent
But ...
What all matters to me is your happiness and well being ..
Yam is a nice girl...
She will love you more than anyone else ..
And you will be safe as long as I am away from you...
As I am a..."

"Pie ... sweetheart...
Dinner is ready
Please come sweety...
Get cherry too..." Said a loud voice which made pie come out of her deep thoughts..

"Coming mom.." answered pie in the same volume as she carefully got up from her rocking chair and moved her hand in the dark on her side table looking for her walking stick

Next day...7:15 am~~~~~

Fah was standing at the airport visitors area as her eyes eagerly searched for someone from the crowd emerging from the arrival gate

" Pii....overhear...!!!!" Fah shouted in a loud voice waving her right hand high in the air making the best effort to be seen apart from the group of poeple she was standing with, she was looking very cute as she wore Pii's favourite pink Disney tee paired with white flared chiffon skirt

"Fah...." Shouted Pii in a loud voice with a big smile on her face as she raced her luggage trolley towards latter

Pii parked the trolley aside , ran towards fah and hugged her tightly

" Ohh...fah ..
I missed you so much...
These 4 months we like 4 decades for me without you.." said pie with her face dug in fah's right shoulder as she kept hugging her beloved tightly

"Same her Pii..
I kept counting each day waiting for you..

See you have grown so weak...
When I am not around you don't take care of yourself..." Said fah as she pulled herself away from pii's grip and noticed latter top to bottom carefully

"Fah...I am alright
It's just because you are seeing me after long ..
Now let's go ..
I am dying to meet Kim...
Haven't spoken to her since she recovered..
Yeah fah...
Did she change her number..???
Why isn't her phone reachable..?" Said Pii in a casual tone as she fixed her car seatbelt while fah gave a deaf ear to latter and started the car engine

"So Pii..
How was your photoshoot..??" Asked fah while her eyes were stuck on the road and hands fixed on steering wheel

"Yeah Fah it was good...
Tell me hows Kim now???
And Pie..???
I am sure all must be fine between them by now" said Pii while she rested her elbow on the window pane and looked outside with a sweet smile on her face

Fah was all quite and focused on her driving
" Pii you know what my close friend Zui who lived in Manila has shifted to Bangkok last week..
I met her after a longtime
All our old memories got refreshed
She even has a lil daughter who is 4 now
Her name is June
You will be delighted to meet her
She is very.."

" Fah stop the car..." Said Pii in an assertive tone as she interrupted latter

" What happened Pii..
Are you alright.." said fah in a worried tone as she shifted her gaze from the road towards Pii and then again back to road

" Fah..I said stop the car..." Said Pii in agitation rubbing her temples

Fah quickly rotated the steering wheel towards left , stopped the car on the roadside and the parking light

"What's wrong with you Fah...???
I am constantly asking you about Kim and you are just being oblivion to my words??? Said Pii in a frustrated voice as she took a sip of water from the water bottle kept in the bottle stand of the car while her eyes were still on the road avoiding Fah

"I ..
I don't know anything about Kim ..!!!" Said fah in a fumbling voice trying to cut out Pii

"Fah...tell me
Tell me what are you hiding ???
How's is Kim...??" Asked Pii in a hurried tone as she turned towards fah, gripped latter's left hand's upper arm with her right hand

"What do want me to tell you Pii...???
That Kim..
Kim...is no more the Kim we knew ...
She has almost become brain dead ...
She doesn't respond to anything ...
She is like a living dead body now..." Said Fah in a crying voice as she rested her head between both her hands on the steering wheel and broke down

"Fah...
I...
This all happened to Kim..
And I...
I need to see Kim immediately...
Please fah take me to her..
Please..." Said Pii in a confused yet requesting tone to fah as she hugged latter to sooth her down
~~~~~~

Fah stopped the car in front of the huge iron gate of Kim's mansion and honked

The Watchman came quickly and pushed the gates hard towards inside making a wide way for the car to enter

As the car reached the parking area fah stopped the car ,pulled the hand breaks
And looked at fah

"Fah you please go inside ..
I will wait here...
I..
I won't be able to see Kim..
I don't I have guts to face her .."

"But Fah..." Fumbled Pii..

"Please Pii.." Interrupted Fah as she placed her right palm on latter's left hand requesting her not to force

"Okay Fah..." Said Pii with a sigh as she opened the car door and got out

Fah took very slow and soft steps towards the main door of the mansion
Fah's words were echoing in Pii's mind, her body had grown very cold out of nervousness of the thoughts that
how will she meet her closest friend in such situation?
How will she react ???

The door of the mansion was wide open there was an elderly figure sitting on the royal blue couch trying to toggle the TV  channels as he lifelessly pressed  his right thumb on the buttons of the remote control

"Pii.....
What a pleasant surprise dear"
Why are you standing there??..
Come child...
It's so good to see you..." Said Ms  Bunyasarn as she came down from the stairs and happen to set her gaze on Pii hesitatingly standing at main door

" Ohh...Pii...
Come on sweetheart..
It's really good to see you.." said Kim's father as Mrs Bunyasarn's voice made him distract from his thoughts and notice Pii while he got up from the couch immediately and walked towards Pii to welcome her

Kim's father was really distressed but still he tried his best to keep a smile on his face and honour Pii as he got her inside and made her sit on the couch..

"You must be tired ...
I will get chilled orange juice for you.." said Mrs Bunyasarn in a concerned tone as she left towards kitchen

"So how was your trip dear..
When did u come back???" Asked Kim's father looking at Pii trying to fake a smile on his face pretending to be normal

"It was good uncle...
I arrived today morning only...
And...
Came to see Kim.." said Pii in a low tone looking down incapable of making an eye contact with Kim's father

"Yeah she is in her room Pii.." said Kim's father with a sigh resting his hands on his thighs

"Pii..have some juice and Sandwiches.." said Mrs Bunyasarn as she kept a wooden tray with a glass of juice and a plate with sandwiches on the glass table

" Thank you Mrs Bunyasarn but..
I need to head to office for some work..
Just wanted to meet Kim..."

" Come Pii I will take you to her room.." said Kim's father as he got up from the couch and moved towards stairs

Pii slowly followed Kim's father to the stairs up towards Kim's room
There was utter silence on the way as Kim's father was distraught his daughter and Pii was worried for her best buddy

Pii was startled to see the view inside Kim's room as the door was wide open letting her get the complete view of the room

Much to her dismay the room was looking very spacious and big as there was only one bed with white linen and white cushions with a glass side table beaides it in the room unlikely to earlier when the room had colorful linen on the bed and a rack full of books also beautiful base on the corners decorated with lovely flowers and leaves

The walls were looking pale white which used to be of pastel colors covered with Kim's favourite Picasso paintings

The glass windows were without any curtains which were earlier covered with lovely  heavy and
