Even if the bones go into the pot, I'll wait for you.

..The story of a young man who is weak at communicating what's inside his heart. In the end, he had to be saddened by a love that didn't work out.. This is a story that actually happened during the transition period before cell phones were available only a short time.. It is expected that if at that time there were good communication devices like today's. .Talking and understanding each other often

There would probably not be a tragedy from a misunderstanding like this..

“Excuse me,” said a handsome young man who was a restaurant worker while watering the plants..

“It's okay,” the young security guard replied as he nimbly jumped to avoid the water that almost hit his shoe..

"Replacing the old person? I'm not familiar with the face at all," the young employee asked.

“Yes, I just moved here to replace the old one who just resigned,” answered a friendly-looking young security guard.

"If you have free time..you can stop by and eat together." Employees try to build relationships.

“Yes,” the young security guard promised and hurriedly walked to work..

..That was the first time that both men started talking and greeting each other and fell in love with each other almost as soon as they met.. After that, they always found time to greet each other on a regular basis, always on time..

..One day, a young man, a restaurant employee, walked in and brought food that the wrong customer ordered. The young security guard ate and secretly visited the nearby young security guard's workplace..

“This condo is very shady,” the restaurant employee praised.

“There are only foreigners staying. I rarely see Thai people,” the young security guard replied.

“It must be expensive,” the employee said as he craned his neck to look at the height of the building.

“I don't know about the price either,” the security guard answered honestly.

"Are you free tomorrow? Let's go see a movie together..I'll be the bookmaker myself," the young employee invited..

“It's also good since I came to Bangkok. I've never been to a movie theater with him before,” the security guard answered honestly..

"Then I'll see you tomorrow as scheduled." The young employee hurriedly walked back to work..

"yes"

...and then the couple had the opportunity to get familiar with each other for the first time..and of course, they didn't miss the teasing activities and reaching for each other's popcorn while watching the movie like every other couple.. And finally, they all went to drink together under soft music. At the young employee's room until dark..

..After that day, the two people began to become closer to each other until the restaurant owner became suspicious of their relationship..

“Is it okay if I quit this restaurant and find a place to trade together?” the young employee asked.

“What happened?” the young security guard asked.

“The owner of the shop is not happy that we are close,” the young employee explained.

“Are you his girlfriend?” the young security guard wondered..

“It could be said that it was like that. Since the owner of the shop had done this work for him, he was grateful to us. ..The owner of the shop is an elderly person who is quite stingy and very possessive of his belongings. But I'm not obsessed with sex.. you just want someone to be a close friend who can help take care of him in every way.. that's all." The young man began to explain the truth..

...The young security guard then began to feel uncomfortable meeting the restaurant staff again. So he started missing work for several days in a row as if he wanted to help the young man end his problems faster....

..but it was the opposite, increasing the anxiety of the young employee to the point where he agreed to take time off work to go search for the address the security guard had given him..with the excuse of the restaurant that he wanted to visit. Mother who is sick at home..

.."Yes, the address is here..but there is no one with this name." The owner of the house explained after a young employee hitchhiked to try to find someone in the northeastern region..

“Is this a fake address?..sigh.” The young man sighed in disappointment...as he hurriedly returned to work at the restaurant as usual, without letting anything go unnoticed..

...Many months passed..until the two people met again..by chance.

“Where have you been?” the young employee asked..

“Go back to your house in the provinces,” the young security guard replied coldly..

"You know..I went to look for you at the address you gave me....but when I got there they said there was no one by that name." The young employee complained while the young security guard felt guilty for deceiving the matter. Residence from the beginning of our acquaintance..

“Did you go there to look for me? Uh..Actually..that's the address of a friend that I used to work with in the past when working in Taiwan." The young security guard explained further..

"It's okay..you're fine, it's good to be back..let's find some free time to eat together." The young employee began to want to return to their relationship again..

“Yes..now I have changed my workplace to another place which is not too far from the original place,” the security guard introduced.

“Then I'll stop by and see you.” The young employee began to feel better again..

...Then the young employee always tried to stop by to bring food and something to eat for the young security guard...before returning to his residence..because their working hours didn't match..

"I just went to rent a room because I want to have some private time with you. I would like to stay overnight together," the young security guard invited.

“Okay, but..please leave your real address for me. Because if you disappear again, we will be able to go to the right place,” the young employee said quietly. In the past, the couple had always sought a short holiday. Go out to the sea, waterfalls, forests and do activities together regularly..

“During this long holiday, I will take a leave of absence to go home to see my mother and sister. Do you want to go together?” the young security guard asked..

"Definitely going..I'm wanting to find an opportunity to travel to other provinces as well."

..and then the young employee hurriedly found an excuse to take a leave of absence.....so that both of them could travel to celebrate the long holiday together to the young security guard's hometown..

.."Oh..Bucknut's close friend asks to follow the owner of the house." The voice of my older sister. The young security guard explained to his neighbors that he knew the young man from a foreign country who was accompanying his younger brother..

"At home, we live like this. We just live and eat. There is definitely no main occupation.. picking vegetables, picking mushrooms, catching fish.. all day long." The security guard's older sister explained the situation of the family while Serves as the dealer for a small circle of cards Area under the house..

“So, what kind of living can I do here?” a young man from a foreign country who had some money inquired while sleeping on a horse rice cloth stretcher under the barn with a young security guard..

“This place is close to the school for students in grades 1-6. If you work hard, you can make food and sell it to students, but you have to bid against it first.. The previous person bid for 2,000 baht and they sold it.. When the year is up, they will start bidding again,” the older sister explained further..

“The previous person didn't want to sell anymore. ..He doesn't have anyone to help him,” the granddaughter added.

“Then this time we bid for 2,500 baht. If we get it, I'll come up and invest in the equipment,” the young man offered to appease the young security guard's family, who seemed determined to earn a living and build up their livelihood. It would be better than wasting time sitting and drawing cards and losing only 5 baht, 10 baht each time..like that.

“Next week there will be a Thung Si Muang event. Will you come up and visit again?” the niece asked..

..As the young man from another country was looking for the possibility of being able to participate in generating income for the family, he immediately proposed another idea..

“Since my younger sister has experience standing and selling small pork noodles. Already stationed at home Why don't we take pork noodles and sell them at the Thung Sri Muang fair to make money?” A young man from a foreign country came up with an idea..

"Are we going to be able to afford the rental fee for the venue? We don't have a lot of money," the older sister said..

"I have to give it a try..take my savings that I have and invest it..it doesn't matter if I lose. At least I can walk around the Thung Si Mueang Festival for a whole week. It's still worth it," said a young man from a foreign country to Let everyone not feel pressured if they have to lose that savings..

"Then take it. If there's any left over, I'll bake more meatballs to sell as well," the older sister said seriously.

“Then we must hurry and contact each other to reserve and sell the items we have to offer first.” A young man from a foreign country hurriedly made a plan..

...After the two young men disappeared from each other for about half a day...they returned with news of progress..

“We didn't get a very good location.. Since we weren't his main annual vendor, we allocated a place at the other end of the Thung Si Muang fair,” the young security guard said while parking his motorcycle..

“And will there be people passing by to support us there?” the older sister said with a soft laugh.

"Oh..don't worry about the Thung Si Mueang Festival. There are people everywhere everywhere," the grandson-in-law interjected..

“The big boss was afraid he wouldn't have enough, so he rented two locks, ha..ha,” the young security guard said with a chuckle. About the courage of a close male friend..

“Then let's just sleep over at the event and not have to run around,” the older sister said playfully.

...When the day of the event arrived..pictures of many people walking around the entire area even before the stage event had started..

“Actually..our location is quite good,” said the older sister..

“That's right..because it's the route where people from nearby provinces stop by to park their cars to go to the event.”..sister The security guard who was the cook who prepared the delicious and spicy noodle recipe answered while looking more excited than anyone else when he saw the number of people walking around..

...The size of two large tents connected together but immediately became cramped as customers began to stop by continuously to buy products, hardly having time to stop and replenish products..

“Oh my god, how good will it sell? Look, it's all over the place.” My niece's voice sounded from far away. While getting off his motorcycle with merchandise he had just picked up from a nearby market..

“Then next year I have to come back and sell it again at the same place,” the younger sister said in support..

..In the early evening of every day, the young security guard would take his foreign male friends to get tickets to stand and watch the Mo Lam stage that looked huge and magnificent with lights and sound.. amazingly..

“Do you understand?” the young security guard asked, sometimes sneaking up behind him to hug him so as not to be noticed..

“I understand a bit.” The young man stood and hugged his chest due to the cold weather that he was not accustomed to because he had only lived in the capital..

“After all this work, what do you plan to do next?” the young security guard began to ask..

"I think that the money that I earn from this job, I intend to..after distributing the wages to everyone, I will give it all to my sister to keep..I want you to have the encouragement to go to the auction to sell food at that school." The young man Explains the plan to promote careers for the families of young security guards...

“We will probably be able to bid already.. because we have a lot of assistants.. I have seen teachers come and complain that they are bored with people selling food. Nowadays, they usually sell sometimes and stop sometimes, causing the students to go hungry as well, and most importantly, their homes. It's more convenient for us because it's close to the school. When there's anything left over, it's easy to pick up and replenish.” The young security guard began to hope to see his family have a stable career..

..When the Thung Si Mueang event ended, everyone seemed to be livelier and happier in an unusual way..because the family started to have income..

“Oh, it's good that you've come to help your children and grandchildren get rich,” the young security guard's mother cried loudly as she stumbled back from a bottle of white liquor and walked around saying hello to the strange young man. The person who came to revive hope for the family..with happiness..

..After that, the young man had to return to work as scheduled in Bangkok. Alone because the young security guard still had to take care of some matters at his house....

..until approximately 2-3 months have passed..

“We have won the bid to sell food at the school.” A young security guard called to report the news.

"Good..if there's anything left, please let me know..and if I have free time, I'll hurry up and help sell things to the students." The young employee was happy to be able to send a good opportunity. For the security guard's family, close friends..

..and it seems that it will be continued good fortune for the young security guard's family. When the school began to receive budget approval to expand the size of education to the maximum from elementary to middle school level. As a result, business with the school continues to grow... income can be used to improve and repair homes on a par with others. in the same area in just a short time

..One time, a young employee wanted to go and surprise the security guard's family, so he secretly traveled without warning in advance..

..but when we arrived..so we encountered some truths..

..The image of the young security guard with his wife and two sons happily parking their motorcycles in front of the house.. made the young man stunned at the secret that no one in the family had ever heard of. Before making the young man from a foreign country himself unable to act properly but flow according to the situation..

"Oh, I have a beautiful girlfriend. The children are very cute. What are their names?" A foreign man tried to make a face..

“The eldest's name is Mad, and the youngest's name is Nong Max,” the security guard's wife answered in a clear voice.

“Take the children back to the house, I will follow you,” the young security guard said softly. With his wife, he walked into his sister's house, which now looked unusually better.. Meanwhile, a foreign man who was a close friend quickly walked into the bathroom area of ​​his sister's house next door. Quiet..immediately

..Knock, knock..knock, the sound of knocking on the shower door continued..

"What are you doing? Please talk to me." The young security guard stood in front of the bathroom for a while and then the door opened from inside..

“I want to go back to Bangkok. Now I can go back to work and be considerate of the restaurant owner,” the young employee said, averting his eyes that had tears welling up in their sockets..

“I won't let you go back,” the young security guard replied.

“How can we live together..why don't you tell me? I feel sorry for the children..and their mother as well." The young employee said while sobbing softly..

“I am divorcing them..because they see me as a money making machine. When we were married, we never liked each other. It was only the elders who arranged it for us.” The young security guard continued to try to explain.

“I just returned from working in Taiwan sending money to their family for many years. Now they can live comfortably without thinking about splitting money to help my family..So I thought of coming back to help at my own house.” The young security guard continued to give reasons. Because..

“Don't let him suffer the sin of separating your children from your father like this.. I don't agree if you think about divorcing him. But in any case, we probably won't have to meet again.” The young man squirmed out of the other's hug with tears in his eyes as he went up to collect his things to return to Bangkok..

“My sister has to ask to go back to work in Bangkok first.. a little more time if I have free time. I will come to visit again.” The young employee said goodbye to everyone and hurried back home.

....and from then on, the young employee didn't contact back to that place again..until almost half a year had passed..the faces of some familiar people stood to be seen..again. .

“I'm divorced,” the young security guard said as he handed me the certificate..

“What the hell do you think you're doing? Don't you feel sorry for the children?" The restaurant employee said nonchalantly while returning important documents..

“Why don't you give me a chance..or are you going to wait for the bones to go into the pot first?” the young security guard said in a discouraged way..as he saw his close male friend trying to act distantly without listening to anything..

“As important as you are, it is easy to cut them off. And I'm just an acquaintance and one day I'll have to be thrown out as well...I suggest you go back and reconcile with the people at home and forget about things that happened over here..from now on we don't need to meet. See you again." The restaurant employee gave an ultimatum and walked away immediately..

...Almost two years have passed..the house phone rang..

“Aunt Nat..has died.” The voice from the phone on the other end came from another province..making the young man stop immediately..

“How did you die?” the young man asked further..

"He kept drinking alcohol every day and didn't eat fish and rice until his health deteriorated and in the end he passed away quickly..My mother was also very sad..It will definitely not happen soon." My niece called to explain. .

“I will come and visit you soon.” ..and then the young man from a foreign country hurried to travel to see the situation for himself almost immediately..

.."I never dreamed that my youngest son would have to leave first." The mother, a former security guard, was crying heartbreakingly all the time and looked noticeably thinner..

“Mom, don't think too much. Nut is resting now. Don't let him worry, Mom.” The young man's tears began to flow from an unexpected event that was different from what he had imagined. On the contrary, his selflessness and selflessness would make things visible. The warm family of the young security guard's friend will be happy with his wife and children in the end..

“Brother, please take me to the area where Nut's ashes are kept.” A foreigner asked his eldest sister for help....and within a short time they both arrived at the home of the young former security guard. Located in another village nearby..

...The image of a young widow who was busy weaving silk according to a customer's order.. immediately leaving everything behind to welcome her sister-in-law and a young man from a foreign country with politeness.. while the young man almost Tears fell as I glanced at a black and white image of a familiar figure hanging on a small altar.

Along with that, the light brown long-sleeved shirt that the young man himself had bought for him when he went to the beach was still hanging in the room on the ground floor..

“A friend is coming to pay homage to Aunt Nut's elemental bones,” the older sister offered a simple suggestion.

“I don't know why Nat loves this shirt so much. I saw him try to wear it regularly. Even on hot days, he would wear it.. Even when he was about to die, he still asked for this shirt.. so I hung it up instead of him.” The widow's voice tried to explain when I saw a young man staring blankly at that shirt..

“Before his death, he looked very bad..he only drank alcohol. No one warned him, but he didn't listen. People at home still get scolded on a regular basis and go on a rampage, no one can control it.” The voice of a young widow tried to briefly tell the story of the incident.. as they walked towards the temple area, which was not too far from the house..

..Soon we noticed that it was a small pagoda that still looked newer than the other pagodas. It was covered with leaves... Even though the young man wanted to embrace him, he could only lightly touch the picture with his palm. While others were collecting pieces of dry branches that were lying around, away from the surrounding area of ​​the small pagoda..

..and then..

..Pooh!!..The sound of breaking glass came from inside the pagoda..

“I guess there's a rat that ran into it,” the young widow said, feeling a little alarmed. As everyone helped to open the upper part of the pagoda that covered the relics.. they saw that the clear jar resembling a pickled medicine jar that held the relics was actually broken..

“Then tomorrow, inviting the monks to clean the bones again would be good too,” the older sister said, as if wanting to fulfill her younger brother's last request that a close male friend be able to join in cleaning the ashes when he could. Already passed away..

..That night, suddenly there was a sudden unseasonal wind and heavy rain, along with thunder and lightning striking near the roof of the house many times.. causing the young man and the mother of the former security guard to not be able to sleep. Almost all night..

..the next morning...

“Forgive me, dear Nut..go to the place you like,” the voice of my older sister said as she washed the ashes with jasmine water and floated them together with a close male friend until they were clean and fragrant throughout the area..while tears began to flow. To snuggle into the arms of a close male friend..

...“If you knew that the final chapter would be like this. I would probably rush to give the opportunity to come back to live life together in a superficial way with a little happiness like before.. Even though it's not perfect, it's full of sincerity and always wants the best for each other.”

.. "Please wait a little longer..One day we will probably meet again."...The young man prayed to the owner of the ashes..

..When the Thung Si Mueang event ended, everyone seemed to be livelier and happier in an unusual way..because the family started to have income..

“Oh, it's good that you've come to help your children and grandchildren get rich,” the young security guard's mother cried loudly as she stumbled back from a bottle of white liquor and walked around saying hello to the strange young man. The person who came to revive hope for the family..with happiness..

..After that, the young man had to return to work as scheduled in Bangkok. Alone because the young security guard still had to take care of some matters at his house....

..until approximately 2-3 months have passed..

“We have won the bid to sell food at the school.” A young security guard called to report the news.

"Good..if there's anything left, please let me know..and if I have free time, I'll hurry up and help sell things to the students." The young employee was happy to be able to send a good opportunity. For the security guard's family, close friends..

..and it seems that it will be continued good fortune for the young security guard's family. When the school began to receive budget approval to expand the size of education to the maximum from elementary to middle school level. As a result, business with the school continues to grow... income can be used to improve and repair homes on a par with others. in the same area in just a short time

..One time, a young employee wanted to go and surprise the security guard's family, so he secretly traveled without warning in advance..

..but when we arrived..so we encountered some truths..

..The image of the young security guard with his wife and two sons happily parking their motorcycles in front of the house.. made the young man stunned at the secret that no one in the family had ever heard of. Before making the young man from a foreign country himself unable to act properly but flow according to the situation..

"Oh, I have a beautiful girlfriend. The children are very cute. What are their names?" A foreign man tried to make a face..

“The eldest's name is Mad, and the youngest's name is Nong Max,” the security guard's wife answered in a clear voice.

“Take the children back to the house, I will follow you,” the young security guard said softly. With his wife, he walked into his sister's house. The house now looked unusually better.. while a foreign man who was a close friend quickly walked into the bathroom area of ​​his sister's house next door. Quiet..immediately

..Knock, knock..knock, the sound of knocking on the shower door continued..

"What are you doing? Please talk to me." The young security guard stood in front of the bathroom for a while and then the door opened from inside..

“I want to go back to Bangkok. Now I can go back to work and be considerate of the restaurant owner,” the young employee said, averting his eyes that had tears welling up in their sockets..

“I won't let you go back,” the young security guard replied.

“How can we live together..why don't you tell me? I feel sorry for the children..and their mother as well." The young employee said while sobbing softly..

“I am divorcing them..because they see me as a money making machine. When we were married, we never liked each other. It was only the elders who arranged it for us.” The young security guard continued to try to explain.

“I myself just returned from working in Taiwan sending money to their family for many years. Now they can live comfortably without thinking about splitting money to help my family..So I thought of coming back to help at my own house.” The young security guard continued to try to reason. Because..

“Don't let him suffer the sin of separating your children from your father like this.. I don't agree if you think about divorcing him. But in any case, we probably won't have to meet again.” The young man squirmed out of the other's hug with tears in his eyes as he went up to collect his things to return to Bangkok..

“My sister has to ask to go back to work in Bangkok first.. a little more time if I have free time. I will come to visit again.” The young employee said goodbye to everyone and hurried back home.

....and from then on, the young employee didn't contact back to that place again..until almost half a year had passed..the faces of some familiar people stood to be seen..again. .

“I'm divorced,” the young security guard said as he handed me the certificate..

“What the hell do you think you're doing? Don't you feel sorry for the children?" The restaurant employee said nonchalantly while returning important documents..

“Why don't you give me a chance..or are you going to wait for the bones to go into the pot first?” the young security guard said in a discouraged way..as he saw his close male friend trying to act distantly without listening to anything..

“As important as you are, it is easy to cut them off. And I'm just an acquaintance and one day I'll have to be thrown out as well...I suggest you go back and reconcile with the people at home and forget about things that happened over here..from now on we don't need to meet. See you again." The restaurant employee gave an ultimatum and walked away immediately..

...Almost two years have passed..the house phone rang..

“Aunt Nat..has died.” The voice from the phone on the other end came from another province..making the young man stop immediately..

“How did you die?” the young man asked further..

"He kept drinking alcohol every day and didn't eat fish and rice until his health deteriorated and in the end he passed away quickly..My mother was also very sad..It will definitely not happen soon." My niece called to explain. .

“I will come and visit you soon.” ..and then the young man from a foreign country hurried to travel to see the situation for himself almost immediately..

.."I never dreamed that my youngest son would have to leave first." The mother, a former security guard, cried and moaned almost heartbreakingly all the time and looked noticeably thinner..

“Mom, don't think too much. Nut is resting now. Don't let him worry, Mom.” The young man's tears began to flow from an unexpected event that was different from what he had imagined. On the contrary, his selflessness and selflessness would make things visible. The warm family of the young security guard's friend will be happy with his wife and children in the end..

“Brother, please take me to the area where Nut's ashes are kept.” A foreigner asked his eldest sister for help....and within a short time they both arrived at the home of the young former security guard. Located in another village nearby..

...The image of a young widow who was busy weaving silk according to a customer's order.. immediately leaving everything behind to welcome her sister-in-law and a young man from a foreign country with politeness.. while the young man almost Tears fell as I glanced at a black and white image of a familiar figure hanging on a small altar.

Along with that, the light brown long-sleeved shirt that the young man himself had bought for him when he went to the beach was still hanging in the room on the ground floor..

“A friend is coming to pay homage to Aunt Nut's elemental bones,” the older sister offered a simple suggestion.

“I don't know why Nat loves this shirt so much. I saw him try to wear it regularly. Even on hot days, he would wear it.. Even when he was about to die, he still asked for this shirt.. so I hung it up instead of him.” The widow's voice tried to explain when I saw a young man staring blankly at that shirt..

“Before his death, he looked very bad..he only drank alcohol. No one warned him, but he didn't listen. People at home still get scolded on a regular basis and go on a rampage, no one can control it.” The voice of a young widow tried to briefly tell the story of the incident.. as they walked towards the temple area, which was not too far from the house..

..Soon we noticed that it was a small pagoda that still looked newer than the other pagodas. It was covered with leaves... Even though the young man wanted to embrace him, he could only lightly touch the picture with his palm. While others were collecting pieces of dry branches that were lying around, away from the surrounding area of ​​the small pagoda..

..and then..

..Pooh!!..The sound of breaking glass came from inside the pagoda..

“I guess there's a rat that ran into it,” the young widow said, feeling a little alarmed. As everyone helped to open the upper part of the pagoda that covered the relics.. they saw that the clear jar resembling a pickled medicine jar that held the relics was actually broken..

“Then tomorrow, inviting the monks to clean the bones again would be good too,” the older sister said, as if wanting to fulfill her younger brother's last request that a close male friend be able to join in cleaning the ashes when he could. Already passed away..

..That night, suddenly there was a sudden unseasonal wind and heavy rain, along with thunder and lightning striking near the roof of the house many times.. causing the young man and the mother of the former security guard to not be able to sleep. Almost all night..

..the next morning...

“Forgive me, dear Nut.. go to the place you like,” the voice of my older sister said as she washed the ashes with jasmine water and floated them together with a close male friend until they were clean and fragrant throughout the area.. while tears began to flow. To snuggle into the arms of a close male friend..

...“If you knew that the final chapter would be like this. I would probably rush to give the opportunity to come back to live life together in a superficial way with a little happiness like before.. Even though it's not perfect, it's full of sincerity and always wants the best for each other.”

.. "Please wait a little longer..One day we will probably meet again."...The young man prayed to the owner of the ashes..
