It's a lot. It's a lot.

     SunShy :

Are you okay?

     SunShy :

If you have a problem, please call me. I'm worried.

     EyeSmile :

Thank you, mother.

A conversation via a smartphone application between a young woman on the bus and a close friend occurred after the bus was late. Bangkok-Chiang Mai had only moved off the platform for ten minutes...a message indicating concern from a close friend was sent asking for news from time to time because they knew that the young woman on the bus had never traveled to another province. By riding the bus alone like this before

She had always traveled by plane since we met. But this time, the young woman on the bus explained and gave reasons that she wanted to change the atmosphere so that she could see the trees and grass on the side of the road in addition to the clouds in the sky like before. So she asked a close friend to drive her to Mo Chit.

     SunShy :

And the person on the side? woman or man Can you look trustworthy?

     EyeSmile :

Send a picture

     SunShy :

Gas, are you okay!!!

"Taking pictures of other people and using them to criticize them without permission is considered an offense," said a voice from the person sitting next to me with a friendly smile.

"Where's the evidence?" someone retorted as he pressed his finger to delete the picture from the chat screen, concealing a triumphant smile through his rosy lips.

"Aren't you dizzy anymore?" the voice of the person on the other side asked with concern. While some of them deliberately looked out the window without answering, the person beside them let out a kind smile.

Buses are driven on the streets of big cities amidst the civilized nightlife. The colored light from the light bulb continues to shine brightly and does not fade with time. Nighttime shops and entertainment venues are starting to bustle with people as cars continue to line up on the roads heading for their destinations.

"Do you want it?" a soft voice asked the figure next to him. When the bus attendant brought a headphone cable along with snacks and snacks But received only indifference in response... The tall figure only let out a soft smile of understanding.

'In the evening, let's eat together. Mom and Dad came to see us.'

"Okay, I'll hurry when I'm done with work," a soft voice said in agreement when his girlfriend called to set up a time to meet up. But those eyes were still fixed on the work on the computer screen. Until I accidentally forgot to look at the time because I didn't pay attention to the clock while working.

'Where are you? Father and mother have arrived.'

"I'll be there in ten minutes."

'Okay, I'll see you soon' the phone call from my girlfriend asked while the tall figure was standing among the people on the bus. Due to working so hard that he forgot to look at the time, when he looked up at the clock he saw that it was almost time for the appointment. So he quickly gathered his things and ran out of the office and onto the bus amidst the crowd of people and cars on the road.

"Are you close yet?"

"Yes, almost there."

"Okay." My girlfriend's phone call came again after ten minutes. But this time, his voice began to be filled with worry because the other person still hadn't arrived as scheduled... The tall figure could only lie as he rushed to find a hired motorcycle to deliver instead.

"Mom and Dad are about to return. Grandpa is about to return with you."

“Yes.” The phone call from my girlfriend came again after thirty minutes. But this time, his voice was full of disappointment... The tall figure could only answer briefly as he sat behind a motorcycle taxi, looking ahead at a crane building an electric train that had overturned in the way.

The bright light from the civilized city slowly faded. When the bus moved an hour away from the big city...some of the passengers began to drift off to sleep because of the complete darkness combined with time causing their eyes to slowly fall asleep waiting for the new morning when the bus moved to the next. destination and destination

"Are you dizzy?" A soft voice tried to ask the figure next to him with concern because he saw her using her fingers to massage along her temples, closing her eyes and leaning back against the back of the chair.

"Busy" came out in a low voice while keeping her eyes closed because she was really dizzy like the person next to her said...while the tall figure could only look at her quietly with concern.

"Do you want to take medicine?" A soft voice asked again, worried. But the other person didn't pay attention.

"No...will sleep."

"yes! I understand, but why don't you spare some time?" Some of them tried to control their tone to be normal even though the truth was that they were very angry. Her boyfriend should call to reconcile. Apologize and explain the reason for the default from last night. But he called me after work today.

'Next time, Pao, I'll be more careful.' The reply from the other end of the line made some of them let out tired sighs.

"Pao, I've missed an appointment with my father and mother three times already." The frequent defaults made the two adults start to feel unsatisfied because it was as if the other didn't pay attention.

'I'm sorry,' the apology from the other end of the line was uttered again. While others could only sigh.

"It's okay. I understand."

11:00 p.m.

Two hours passed after the bus had been driven on the road without rest until it finally stopped at a rest stop to change drivers, refuel and let the passengers eat. Stopped by to buy souvenirs and use the restroom. Before the long and long road trip begins again.

Almost all passengers got out of the vehicle. But the tall and thin figure in the back seat was still sitting as before. Before some bodies began to wake up after being deeply immersed in sleep. Unlike another person who sits and listens to music all the time while traveling, he doesn't fall asleep to the atmosphere like other people...or maybe due to physical proximity he can't close his eyes to sleep because he's sitting with his left shoulder tense and his head tense. The other person beside him fell asleep comfortably.

“Already there?” he muttered to himself, blinking before looking down at his watch.

"I'm going to the bathroom," a soft, gentle voice said. This caused some to slowly raise their heads when they realized that they were resting on another person's shoulder.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" he asked in a quiet voice, hiding his head.

"Afraid to wake up," he replied shortly and stood up to make way for the person who had just woken up to walk out of the car. before following behind the other person.

“Why?” he asked, keeping his head raised. When he saw that the tall figure was following him and stopping behind him,

"I want to go to the bathroom," he whispered back in his ear. This caused some figures who were standing still to quickly walk into the bathroom... The tall figures could only stand and let out a smile.

"There are other tables," he muttered with an expression of displeasure as he sat down to eat in the area the restaurant had prepared for him.

"The other tables don't know each other," he replied, shoveling food into his mouth.

"The weather is cold," a soft voice said from behind. When he saw a figure standing with his arms folded, his sweater tightened.

"It's colder over there," he said again, concerned because he knew that some figure beside him was listening intently.

"Busy!" That's all she said and walked away onto the bus. which is preparing to depart again

“Do you want to turn off the air conditioner?” a soft, concerned voice asked again. When he saw a figure sitting with his arms folded, trembling, he tightened the blanket to cover his body. But instead, he only received a sigh of annoyance as an answer. Before the two pretty eyes fell asleep to escape the commotion of the person on the side... The tall figure could only reach out to adjust the air conditioning of the bus and smile kindly at the figure on the side, even though she didn't have any expression of saying, will see it

The wheels started rolling on the long route again after filling up the fuel tank because there would be no more breaks during the journey that had just begun.

'It's almost 11:00 p.m.' A phone call from a female friend called to warn about the time.

"I'm already on the bus, but I'm not sure I'll make it in time." A tall figure on the bus replied impatiently.

'Hurry up and come quickly, Pao,' the voice on the other end of the line from a female friend said impatiently.

'It's already 11:30 p.m.' The phone call from a female friend came in again with an even more anxious tone than before.

"Pao is on the back of a motorcycle! I'm in a hurry!" replied the voice on the other end of the phone loudly because the wind was blowing, obscuring his voice.

'Pao, everyone is about to return, Grandpa as well.' A phone call from a female friend called in a hushed tone. After the birthday celebration is over

"Oh, I know." He tried to control his trembling voice and replied to his female friend. While still standing behind the door,

On the night of celebrating his girlfriend's birthday, she came back late because of an unavoidable event...a pickup truck ran a red light and crashed into a school bus in the middle of an intersection. She was sitting behind a motorcycle waiting at a traffic light. Causing them to temporarily delay their journey to make way for police vehicles.

Ambulances and rescue vehicles arrived to help take the injured, including the perpetrator, to the hospital. Until the situation was resolved, traffic returned to normal...while motorbikes hurriedly rode and brought passengers to their appointed places quickly. But it was too late...12:30 a.m.

"Ta, please date Nat."

"Yes, I agree." The voice of a certain figure answered softly with sad, sad eyes mixed with tears. Upon meeting the face of the person who had just arrived at the door... the tall figure stopped as he was about to enter the room. But the image of the two people made me step back. He could only stand behind the door and accept the tears that had begun to flow without understanding from the events just a moment ago.

The sun began to shine brightly to welcome a new morning, and images of flowers and grass appeared along with cars and houses on both sides of the road as the cars passed by... Many passengers began to wake up from their slumber and stretch their legs to relieve pain when Y As time progressed until we were close to our destination But the tall figure behind him was still asleep, unconsciously resting his head on the shoulder of the figure next to him... The figure could only sit still and stare at the environment outside the window.

6:00 a.m.

It's a lot. It's a lot.

     SunShy :

Have you arrived in Chiang Mai yet?

     EyeSmile :

Just arrived. Just arrived.

     SunShy :

Have you called the driver yet?

Messages from close friends via smartphone applications have been sent since early morning asking about their movements with concern. When the bus stops at the destination platform After the end of a long, long journey...ten hours!

“Want to go together?” a soft voice from a tall figure behind me asked. Camouflage points to a red bus.

"Let's go in different directions," he replied in a calm voice before walking past... The tall figure could only let out a soft smile of understanding... She had a destination. I had a destination. We were just passing by to meet.
