I want everyone to read and criticize honestly. To improve the next piece of writing.
“Speak together, everyone! ”
“Destroy dictators! Long live democracy.”
“Again!”
“Destroy dictators! Long live democracy.”
"thank you"
The voice of "Chess" suddenly passed and he handed the microphone to the chubby MC. The big man then asked for another round of applause for Chet's final announcement of his important intentions. And with the loud applause, it was this that caused the original owner of the thin body to be powerless and almost lie on the floor from the first ten minutes of the speech.
He had to walk proudly while walking down the stairs to the back of the stage, when another "him" reached out and touched Chet's back. and whispered,
“Look who's today's star.”
Chet immediately turned towards the owner of the voice. And the little man in front of him was
"audible"
“Chesh”
Chet says Sarut's name. And Sarut himself said Ches's name as well. The two of them looked at each other for a moment. Intense black eyes stared at each other as if reading each other's thoughts. But in the end, both of them had to stop and accidentally let out a loud "Uk" sound at the same time before bursting into laughter. Suddenly, the staff behind the stage turned to stare at both Chet and Sarutta, eyes widening.
Wondering what the two stars of today were laughing about. Or is it that today's stage still shines and doesn't catch the eye of those in power? But before the two of them could explain One of the event administrators immediately came in and asked,
“Sorry for disturbing you guys' fun time. Now we are preparing
I've provided the car for you. Are you interested in going back to your accommodation now?"
“What do you say, Chet? We'd better go back. There is a class at seven o'clock tomorrow morning as well.”
“We study in the same faculty, same major, so that means we have to study at 7:00 at the same time.”
Sarut nodded and said, “Hmm,” giving the young caretaker a hint that they were ready to depart and return to their quarters.
The young attendant then called for two other staff members to lead Sarut and Ches to separate sides of the stage. Before the two people separated He raised his left arm in the air and made a three-finger gesture to say goodbye. On the other side of the stage, a black four-door car was waiting for us.
When the attendant finished sending him into the vehicle, the mission was not yet over. Because of the importance of the process called "concealment" or taking the speaker's leader to his residence without outsiders knowing. Rather, it requires caution and acting wisely. Prevent people with bad intentions from knowing. It also closes the eyes of those with authority over the law who attack the speaker.
“Have you read the news on the internet yet, friend?”
“Not yet, please read to me briefly.”
Chet and Sarut returned to their dormitory safely. This indicates that the concealment process went well. Even though the two cars were going in different directions, the two people met at their dormitories in a university. Chet took off his navy blue shirt and dropped it into the laundry basket in front of the bathroom.
He grabbed a towel and cell phone and went into the bathroom ready to wash himself. As for Sarut, who is a simple person, he chose to continue wearing his gray shirt. before rolling around on the cream-colored bed He didn't hesitate and hurriedly read the news that appeared on his mobile phone. Don't forget to read it out loud so that the chef who is taking a shower can hear. The news appeared that
Two young men, "Mamuang Chambue", no one in this era doesn't know them.
If anyone still remembers, Mr. Samak Sundaravej once spoke in a speech about young people who have passion and fervor. and hopes to change the country with their ideas But sometimes those ideas are not yet ripe. Inexperienced I don't know much about politics and it's like I'm strong. “Premature ripeness” can only be “premature mangoes”
that will take a long time to become ripe and ready to truly serve the people The mangoes this time are none other than two young rising stars outside parliament, "Sarut and Chet". Sarut's side is a good-looking young man with a stable position who came to play student politics from a young age with experience and a capitalistic head from his family.
It might make him a favorite. The next MP for the district While Chet was a young man with quiet energy. The status at home may be middle class. But with the various social issues that he is promoting, it is in demand among NGOs.
NGO)
Giants of the country The two of them are two young men. Who doesn't know when he'll be snatched by a political game. Waiting to follow in the next stage.
Chet heard this and slammed the wall loudly, "Pung" in dissatisfaction. Because the news was too insulting and insulting to him and Sarut. But Sarut's side is calm about this news. He chose to let it go and focus on the main purpose that had led him and Chet to this point.
That is, resisting all forms of illegitimate power of the state. And he himself hoped that he would not be swallowed up by such power first. Because of the status of the family, sometimes "money" is often the only righteousness that he is forced to choose.
“Ring, ringing.”
“Chase said.”
“Che...it's me, son. Have you returned to the dorm yet? Dad's condition is getting worse again, son."
"How much do you want? Tell Chet."
Chet cut off the conversation. And that made the mother on the other end of the line pause for a moment before telling her the amount of money needed to treat Dad.
“I want five thousand first, son. Take it as payment for tomorrow's operating room. Did you go to a speech today? How much did they give you?”
“It is two thousand more than the cost of father's treatment. But I'll send them all now. Mom kept it for use too."
Finished speaking, Chet cut off the phone to his mother. He walked out of the bathroom and threw his cell phone on the bed. And that caused Sarut to ask with sympathy. But before he could utter a word, Ches held out his hand to stop him. Before shaking his head back and forth, "No," Sarut nodded, "Um."
As well as jumping out of bed to switch to taking a shower. Chet changed his clothes and quickly transferred money via mobile phone to his mother's account. However, when the person finished transferring the money His phone also received a notification from an email from an unknown source. He pressed the letter icon. And its contents are no less amazing.
From : Republic of Thailand
To : Chettha Suksawat

“Ding”
“The mail came in again and we really exploded.”
Sarut spoke with familiarity. And it made him as strange as Chet. Because the email he received was the same email that Chet received. But the content has been changed and refined until there is nothing left of the original.
From : Republic of Thailand
To : Sarudilok Rattanapob
We see the efforts of you and your friends who want to drive this country to be on a moral path. We have been following you all along. You are the main inspiration that gave us the courage to start driving the country and destroy the patronage system. Including uprooting the authoritarian regime.
But with our strength alone we cannot create a ripple effect in society. We must also rely on the power of the new generation like Mr. Chettha and Mr. Sarut. We know Mr. Sarut's status very well. He is full of status and power. We are therefore not worried if you come to speak at the event at 4:00 p.m.
at the Democracy Monument On this upcoming Constitution Day The important topic that I would like you to address is: "The Establishment of the Republic of Thailand" It would be great if you invited Mr. Chet to join in this event as well.
The two people sighed loudly, “Sigh.” They both thought in their hearts that this letter was likely to lure the tiger out of the powerful man's den. Otherwise it is a political game from the opposite side. Because the whole content The name of the sender and the topic of the speech were very unusual. The two of them didn't pay attention to this email and chose to delete it.
Because they thought that it was a ploy to trick them from the government who wanted to lure the victims into a hook. Which they did not expect that since receiving this mail The end of their path was already set.
The next day before Constitution Day The phone rings endlessly. Both Ches's machine and Sarut's machine. They had to answer calls from close friends, journalists, and activists themselves. Until they receive a call from a strange person who warns them with suspicious good intentions. Of course, the highlight that made the two people's ears tingle today was the news on TV.
On the front page of the newspaper And the radio broadcast said, "Two young mangoes are ready to ripen with a historic speech on this Constitution Day at the Democracy Monument."
“Did Chet get the email?”
Sarut turned around and looked at Chet while he was busy looking at the mobile screen, which no matter which way he scrolled, the image of him and Chet appeared. Ches also nodded his head as a sign of "yes." Both of them began to realize that they were now being manipulated by someone or something behind the scenes.
And it didn't seem to end there because as soon as Chet grabbed the remote control and turned on the flat screen TV in their room. I found news pictures that there were now reporters lining up and waiting to interview them in front of the dormitory. and the sound of a news report from one channel became louder
“Everyone, we are currently in front of the political activist's dormitory. Khun Chet and Sarut From the news we received that both of them announced a large rally on Constitution Day which is approaching. or tomorrow It is considered once again that they have challenged the important power of the state.
With a speech that could be a new chapter in the history of both the couple and the history of the nation. Sorry...everyone. We have now received an audio file which purports to be from both students. I invite everyone to listen.”
Chet and Sarut were astonished. Sarut even had a shocked expression on his face, wondering at what point he had given the report or released the audio clip. Meanwhile, Chet's side, who looked calm, had to sit with his brow furrowed and waiting to hear where exactly the voice message the reporter was referring to came from.
"We, Tid, would like to invite everyone to TID, hold up the three-finger salute to repel dictators, TID, at the monument tomorrow. TID, it's time for our country to be free. TID, let's go. See you TID at 4 p.m."
“And this is the audio file that we have received. You can see that it is an invitation that does not reveal the content of the speech. The Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police gave a live interview as follows.”
“Any political movement can be carried out if it is in accordance with the constitution. But if the content or expression affects the main institutions of the nation There was division among the people in the nation. Security agencies are ready to intervene peacefully. and will severely punish those behind this incident.
Therefore, if you think and reflect well Please come and surrender yourself. Because looking at their history, the two of you have quite a few cases.”
Sarut immediately grabbed the remote from Chet and turned it off. The two of them sat down on the bed and began to contemplate everything that had happened. At first they received a mysterious mail from the Republic of Tai as well. Same date, same time, same place. Then there was an audio clip that leaked out.
From what I have carefully listened to, it is definitely not wrong to "edit" from the speech's audio. Because there is still a lot of interference from the masses. But what's even more strange is that the news clearly states that both of them are the announcers who will organize this rally.
In reality, they were just participants in a speech invited by the Thai Republic. Or is it the attitude of the police who clearly announced that the two of them “may” be a threat to the nation? In fact, if we refer to the news, there is no episode in the news where they say that they will talk about matters that are a national threat.
Or will the email be leaked to another location? But what's even more strange is the origin of the email. How did it get to Chet and Sarut's mobile phones? When they use incognito mode all the time. Or is this the “harassment” and “extortion” that activists face?
“Ring, ringing.”
“Yes, mother.”
"Hurry yourself up, Chess. I'm begging you."
Mother spoke to Chet in a trembling voice. And finally, the jigsaw puzzle was completed. Both the origin of the mail which led to all the chaos.
“What are they doing, Mom? And Dad? Mom...please answer me honestly. What are they doing, Mom?”
“Heck, no one is doing anything. He just told his mother to call Sarut and Chet. Mother followed everything. He said that his children were involved with the Communists. Mother saw that it was inappropriate and wanted you to come out of that whirlwind. And he just came to tell mother that he thinks that overthrowing the institution will overthrow the nation.”
Chet didn't wait and immediately hung up on his mother. Now he was sweating profusely and breathing faster every moment. He was starting to piece it all together. He began to realize that all these strange things were wrong. “Maybe” it happened at the hands of his best friend.
“Sarut, did your mother call you?”
"no"
“Lie, Mom said she called. Oh, so you're the cause of these stories, right? This whole thing is perverted.”
“Calm down, Chet. It's not like that. Think carefully. You're being manipulated by them. Your mother too. Let's calm down and slowly think about what we should do tomorrow. Please, now is not the time for us to fight.”
“Then answer honestly, Sarut. What did the Thai Republic send an email to speak about?”
“Well...”
Sarut was unable to continue. He used his arm to wipe away the sweat that was pouring out. before breathing in and out slowly To determine the direction of their breath because the following answers may decide the fate of their tomorrow and tomorrow's.
“They told us to give a speech about "The Establishment of the Republic of Thailand"
“Next time, please lie more smoothly. We're done with this, Sarut."
“Hey, wait, what is it? Chet, that's all he really said. Or does it have another topic?”
“Another topic? So you've already confessed that you conspired and manipulated me and mother.”
“Wait, it's not like that. Let's listen to the reason first. Now you have completely misunderstood.”
“It's over, Sarut, everything. My life, my mother's life, the life that we both traveled together. I don't think that people close to me are worms. Hopefully I'll be able to see you at the speech tomorrow. Father, the mangoes are ripe.”
Chet's voice stopped. He immediately walked out of the room. Leaving Sarut to live in loneliness where he is unable to help or understand his only comrade.
The morning of Constitution Day Everywhere in the streets and in government offices, people are ready to display the national flag and march in praise of the constitution which was obtained through the democratic constitution enactment process. And it was this morning that Chet surrendered to the police. The news agencies reported this news with the headline “
A ripe mango that was plucked from the tree.” Chet admitted to all the charges. And being willing to accept criminal punishment from every warrant for the activities he has done throughout his time as an activist in this country "in this society" is a sign that he has "surrendered" and "given up" to A power he could not understand.
But what is even more hurtful is that the news continues to headline that "Another mango has fallen." To this day, there is still no sign of Sarut, only "He" tells another story: Sarut has already taken refuge with his family. As for the people who had been waiting for the couple and were ready to come out and gather this evening, there was a halt.
before cursing and cursing the two of them for being just amateurs in this industry, like "Mamuang Chambue" who has given up on political games and threats from an unknown power.
