Who knew that I, secretly surrounded by people, would hear my card number? Because I was a petite woman and not very white, I was able to hide myself from the crowd easily. Receiving such a great honor, I was helpless. When I walked up to the stage and handed in my identification card, everyone cheered with excitement.

“What is the name of our lucky winner?” He held out the microphone towards me before boldly answering.

“Kingkaew” in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people Made me not even dare to move.

“She is the luckiest person in Thailand. Mr. Kingkaew!! Please give me some applause.” When everyone joined together to applaud. I thanked him and walked away.

Another week to go 100 years into the future.........

One month before that

“Kaew, are you really sure? To join this crazy project?” Fah, my work friend, asked in shock. While we were eating at our regular restaurant

"I have nothing to lose. My parents died, I have no siblings, no relatives. Besides, I don't think I'm that lucky." I shoveled some fried pork into my mouth. while the sky still looked at me silently

“And if you go.......you might not come back alive. ”Those words made me stop and put another bite of rice into my mouth.

“Right now, there's probably only you in the world. For being worried about me.” Fah held my hand tightly before saying in a serious tone.

“You are my friend. Friends don't leave friends anymore."

“I know, I will definitely come back, I promise....”

Departure date

Kingkaew stands in front of a time machine that appears in movies but is real. It was something that would allow her to step into the future. Even though a week of preparation would make her ready to abandon everything, she still couldn't help but tremble with fear. The scientist who created the machine walked up to her before explaining the details.

“We cannot guarantee 100%. That it can really take you to the future, do you still want to take the risk?” She nodded in response.

“I have three months to bring you back to the present. And the compass where you go when the time comes will glow. and can bring you back, take good care of it.”

“What if the future you want to know is not as good as you think?” Kingkaew asked. He smiled casually before replying.

“You have a duty to follow the agreement.”

She stood in the middle of the gigantic, terrifying machine before the scientist uttered a final word.

“Gather as many details as possible. Is there anything you would like to order?”

“I will be back.…” The wind around her began to blow harder even though she was in a laboratory with thick steel walls. Her raven-black hair fluttered out of the rubber band that held it together. Brown eyes that didn't even hesitate before the lightning struck through them. She disappeared from where she stood. Everyone in the room was stunned and laughed hysterically.

“We have succeeded!!! Humans will thank us.” Everyone was overjoyed and expected a celebration to take place.

Thailand, 1622

Kingkaew lay unconscious in a part of Bangkok for another hundred years before her brain told her to wake up. Everything has changed a lot. Our capital city has become a deserted city that looks like no one has lived in it for more than ten years. The tall buildings are left covered in dust. She walked around and looked around. There was not a single person in sight. It was quieter than a cemetery. Kingkaew was very shocked.

There were no signs of life at all.

But from the perspective she couldn't see, there was someone in the small building that she had never noticed. He pointed a silenced rifle at her, but he was probably not professional enough because the first time he pulled the trigger, he missed and hit the wooden crate near the glass branch.

She was shocked for a second and felt that someone was intent on killing her. She froze, her eyes scanning her surroundings. And immediately knew that Bangkok right now was not safe at all, that someone was heading towards her. A military-pattern hooded hoodie concealed her face, and she didn't realize it before he covered her mouth with his hand, preventing her from making a sound.

"Don't make a noise. Don't be afraid. I'm a soldier. I'm here to help you." Kingkaew screamed and struggled at him. She didn't trust anything now that he knew she was suspicious. A mysterious man claiming to be a soldier shows her his military identification card, which makes her begin to trust him.

“It's unbelievable that there are still people left here. It's not safe to follow me here.” Kingkaew followed him into a four-wheel drive vehicle that was reinforced with armor easily. By holding on to the idea of ​​going to death with the sword in the face. Because it would have been better for her to follow him than to lie there and die.

All the way he had driven for about ten minutes, King Kaew, looking at the atmosphere through the glass, still couldn't find any living things.

“Why aren't there any people here?” She mustered up the courage to ask the soldier driving next to her. Her question startled him so much that he stepped on the car's brakes.

“Don't you know? Where do you come from? You're not Thai?” He was very surprised.

“Uh.....I don't have a good brain. I heard the doctor say that it was memory loss.... ” She tried not to act suspicious and he seemed to understand and moved the car away.

“There haven't been any people here for twelve years......They have emigrated to a safer country.”

“What happened?”

“Thailand was the center of the Allies in World War 4. Yes, those who are still here. There were only nurses, soldiers, and terrorists. “Her face went numb after hearing him say terrorists before she was even more shocked at the words World War 4.

“What is your name? ”She was so quiet that he was worried before he asked her name.

“Kingkaew.”

“I am Chom, I am the head of the army.” Kingkaew turned to inspect the person driving the car. His hair was shaved on the sides completely and the top was long. Looks like a simple style that looks good. His jet black eyes, tanned skin like a Thai man and a well-trained body. Even though he was the leader, he didn't look old at all. It's like it just happened. Even more than 30

“Your name is very beautiful, Kingkaew.”

“Thank you,” he smiled before she looked away in embarrassment. The two stopped at a village where there were many people moving around and there were houses that had just been built. Medical tents are distributed everywhere, medicine, food, and drinking water.

“Although there are overt battles here, it is much safer than in the city.” The two got out of the car and stopped in front of a large house made entirely of steel. The future house required a lot of safety. Because every house is made of steel.

“It's my house. You can stay here for now, I will contact someone to take you to safety, but it will probably be another 5 months.” Kingkaew thanked him before realizing that he wouldn't be there until then.

The main house was quiet and no one came out to welcome him. Makes her think he's probably alone. Even though the structure and walls are made of steel, they have carpeted the floor to make it comfortable for your feet to walk on, which makes it look very nice overall.

Kingkaew was worried about where to find her supplies and clothes, but Jom provided everything for her. It made her very grateful for his kindness.

She noticed that he was rarely home, and even so, the house was still clean and pleasant. She always follows him everywhere. Regardless of whether he went to work, she would sit and wait in Kingkaew's office, trying to harvest as much as possible from the next hundred years. But if one day Jom told her, She really couldn't follow him. because it is very dangerous

Kingkaew would clean the house and wait for him to come back. Even though she was just a resident, Jom liked Kingkaew in everything until she secretly had good feelings for him and she also thought that Jom would have feelings. I feel good for her as well.

Until King Kaew came to stay at the house of this soldier together 2 One day, while they were eating dinner together, someone rang the front doorbell. The receptionist volunteered to answer the door. with Kingkaew looking from a distance There was a woman with a beautiful Thai face, about the same size as Kingkaew, and carrying about two suitcases.

Jom immediately hugged her and stayed like that for a long time until she began to dislike him. He helped the woman carry her bag and came into the house. Came straight to Kingkaew first. When he was close, she saw a nurse's uniform that had blood spattered in spots before Jom introduced this girl to him.

"King Kaew, this is Zee, my girlfriend." She smiled sweetly at the people who were eating before Jom introduced King Kaew to Zee and told her about her background and why she came to this house.

He also said that C was a volunteer nurse so had to go here often and had just returned from working as a nurse's assistant in a nearby town. Some of the clothes and women's items he had brought for her were items. C

Kingkaew was completely still and completely numb. My head was empty and I didn't know what else to say, but I forced a smile to both of them as I told the sweet but heartbreaking story of the listeners when she helped C to put away the dishes. She went up and lay still in her own bedroom, completely confused. What was the past?..........It was just my own thinking.

Is that really it? Nothing right now can stop her tears. Even though she is very sad, this is the quietest cry. ' Maybe it's good that it's like this. Because if we truly love each other I definitely won't go back.'

The days passed painfully. Even though I couldn't be attached to him like usual anymore, Jom still took care of her as well as before, without being diminished in importance at all. That made her even more shaken and hurt in her heart.

The war seemed to get a lot worse one day. Chom had to go fight, which is normally not the duty of a military leader, and Xi himself had to help many injured people. Kingkaew then volunteered to go out and help Zee as well.

There were loud explosions from time to time, but the medical tent was safe enough not to be caught in the crossfire. The high-tech tanks are more gimmicky and stronger than in the past, propelling them into battle to inflict damage on the enemy. The sound of various types of gunfire is loud and continuous with images of dead people. A wounded person covered in blood It made Kingkaew almost faint. How dare she tell others that in the future we will have to face something like this?

One coincidence while she and Xi were helping to dress a soldier's wound was Kingkaew noticed the birthmark on Si's left arm. She was shocked because it was very similar to the birthmark on her left arm. She was stunned for a moment but didn't think anything of it. You must hurry to save the injured person's life first.

The battle continued for a very long time and the number of injured people increased more and more. Until the superpowers The last cannon was fired. The loud noise that made everyone stop moving. Xi rushed out of the tent, King Kaew hurriedly following close behind. She saw Xi still standing in front of her and wondered what had happened.

Before the sight she saw was so painful that she couldn't speak.

The sound of the cannon was a cover for him as he fell to the ground with blood seeping out of his chest.

“Jom!!!!!” Xi hurriedly ran towards him. Fortunately, he still had consciousness, the two holding each other's hands tightly as if they didn't want to be separated. She cried hysterically before he reached out and stroked her black hair. And spend the last minutes of his life knowing that he would die soon with the person he loved most.

The two profess their love to each other. I cried until I almost ran out of water. He can only say to his lover, "I love you," over and over, but he can only apologize that from now on he will no longer be able to take care of her.

“It's okay. You must not die.” Xi held his hand tighter than before and looked at his face, which was blurred by tears.

“It's too late, you have to take care of yourself. Live even if you don't have hair. ” He said with difficulty before hugging each other one last time.

The crystal branch, less than a ruler away, sat down with tears streaming down his cheeks. She wasn't just sad that he was going to die, she was sad that she couldn't be the one to hold his hand in the final moments of his life. And suddenly the compass she got from the scientist glowed, signaling that she had to. Gone

But all of my feelings told Kingkaew that I didn't want to leave him like this. I wanted to be able to see his face for just one more second. It would still be good.

“King......Kaew.” The young man called her name in a soft voice. She hurriedly crawled towards him with tears wetting her shirt.

“I'm sorry I wasn't able to stay and protect you until you were safe,” Jom said with difficulty. Kingkaew held his hand tightly and shook his head and could only say that it was okay. The compass beeped louder and louder. and his blood would not stop flowing. This moment is the last moment to express your feelings.

She hesitated but realized that she would never be able to say those words to him again. She decided

“Jom.......I like you. Thank you for everything. You....don't have to worry about anything. ”Even though I tried to control myself from sobbing, the last sentence was completely stuck.

"thank you....... ” He let out a final smile to the women on both sides. The young man went silent after saying his last words with a little breath. He closed his eyes with a happy expression on his face. There's nothing more to worry about.

Both Si and Kingkaew cried tears of blood after seeing the person they loved die in front of them. It was considered the greatest suffering in his life. Kingkaew let go of his hand while still crying without stopping before picking up a compass and disappearing in front of everyone present.

1 week has passed

Kingkaew stayed in the house the whole time after returning from time travel. She explained everything to the scientists according to the agreement and was told not to tell reporters anything. So she couldn't go out anywhere, only her close friend, Fah, who came to take care of her, brought food and water, and came to be with her.

Kingkaew told Fah everything, which made her understand why her friend was so absorbed. To this day, Kingkaew still remembers the events of that day as well as if they happened yesterday. It keeps reinforcing and Cutting your heart to hurt

After having a lot of time to herself, she discovered some truths. In fact, Xi was her descendant in another hundred years. Because she went through a photo album and found that all the women in her family had birthmarks like this.

That reason made her stop everything and tell herself that it was good that her blood had met such a good man and came to terms with the matter. Because no matter what, we can't be together.

When I started feeling better three days later So she dressed for work and lived her normal life, and while waiting for the bus as usual, the unrelenting sunlight of Thailand made her dizzy. Before that, a young man ran towards her with a dangerous dagger. King Kaew was shocked but didn't know what to do. So he stood stiffly like that with his head looking down.

“It's okay. Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you. A very familiar voice made her look up without hesitation. There was a man coming to deal with that teenager. And the police have already come and arrested him.

But what made Kingkaew speechless was that he was very much like a master in every way. It's not just the face, the hairstyle, the skin color, the size of the body, it's all right. But just because he was wearing normal clothes from our era instead of military uniforms, she almost cried and hugged him tightly. But she restrained herself and thanked him instead.

“What is your name?” When he saw the girl's face clearly, he smiled and wanted to get to know her.

“Kingkaew.”

“I am Athit, your name is very beautiful, Kingkaew.” The sentences were so similar that she couldn't help but smile, making her think of him. and feel good about this man He might be the person heaven sent to meet at the right time. and liked by both sides

On that day, Kingkaew didn't take the bus to work because Athit volunteers to send her away. And after that day, Arthit often found trouble to meet with her. and volunteer to pick you up and take you every time you have free time

"Khun Athit, you don't have to go through the trouble of coming to pick up and deliver the glass." The two talked while sitting in Athit's car.

"It's not difficult at all. I'm willing." He smiled sweetly at the person next to him when he picked up Kingkaew from work and then he took her to have dinner together at a Thai restaurant.

While eating together, Kingkaew suddenly wanted to tell Athit about the future. Because they've been close enough and want to know how he'll feel. But she could only ask indirect questions so as not to arouse his suspicions.

“Sunday, if you meet someone who is exactly like me in a hundred years. How will you feel? ” He was silent for a moment before revealing a smile before answering.

“I think even if it's very similar to you, He is not you anyway. His personality and preferences may not be the same. I'm probably just with him. After all, I like you for who you are now.” She smiled sweetly after receiving the answer.

That's right, to the face. The shape is the same. But he is not the same person. Now she loves a man named Athit, not Jom.

'I don't know if it's fate or destiny, but when heaven brings two people to love each other, the word couple No matter what, we can't be separated.'

The end
