Hello, welcome to another short story of mine.

The last gift It is a short story that tells the story of the final day of orientation, a day when the Mathayom 6 children were happy to give. and receive gifts from friends who have traveled together for 3 years, 6 years, or longer

But sometimes giving a gift to someone It can be a difficult decision...

Actually, this short story is one that I wrote and sent to the Thai language teacher in the subject. "Improve Thai language skills" is a homework that says You can write anything on 1 page of the worksheet the teacher gives you. So I wrote a sad story, haha. I don't know if the teacher will read it or not.

You can criticize. I'm just a kid. Haha.

The sound of the alarm clock rang out in the darkness. "Chan" slowly opened his eyes and reached for his phone to turn off the alarm clock like every day. The numbers that appeared on the phone screen said the time was 5:30 a.m. on February 14, 2014. . 2573

'Oh, it's today already?' Chan thought to himself as he got out of bed to do his own business and put on his clothes for the ceremony...

Today is 'Final Orientation Day' or simply known as Graduation Day. All Mathayom 6 students come together to wear school shirts over white Rajpataen shirts. Even though everyone sees that today will be a day for students to be proud and happy. But inside Chan's heart, things were different...

“This...this... Is there a way to tell if you like someone?”

'Her' voice still echoed in Chan's head. As soon as the question is received Not only the loud noises within the classroom Even the voice of hope within Chan's heart was extinguished for a moment.

At that time, some truths appeared to him that the 'someone' she was referring to was definitely not him... But even in my heart I feel light. Even though thoughts are spinning around What Chan did at that moment was to compose himself and try to put on a normal face that was hidden by a fake smile.

“I...I don't know. I think if she told him she loved him on his last day, it would be awesome,” Chan replied casually.

"Really! That's it, I'll keep it in mind. Very tanky, Chan.” She, who was always smiling, said with excitement.

I don't know what inspired him to answer like that. But she seems to like Chan's advice quite a bit...

Soft sunlight combined with the cool weather of February. Make the atmosphere of the final orientation day simple. When the morning ceremony is finished Mathayom 6 students in white uniforms descended from the auditorium to take memorable photos. Only Chan remained silent.

Thinking over various stories in his mind, he held a small box the size of an orange in one hand. The other hand held a pink letter. In fact, he intended to give it to her today as his 'last gift' for her.

It was his own fault for introducing her like that. This morning at mealtime, she had told Chan of today's plans in an excited tone. Of course, he had plans to tell her today as well. But in the end, he agreed not to tell so that she could be happy. So that her person will be the person she loves...not him.

Amidst the shouts of congratulations from friends for the bride and groom A pair of eyes stared at the smile of the bride in her high school uniform... 10 years ago today, an 18-year-old groom received a love confession from his bride of the same age. Among friends, cheers of joy rang out.

The same pair of eyes still stared at her smile...

A few tears of joy flowed out. But the reason why his face was wet It must have been because of the tears of regret that flowed endlessly.

On one of the tables in the Mathayom 6/2 classroom, a pink letter was placed near the last gift box...
