“Is there any chance we can hold the meeting here in Bangkok?”

“I don’t think so… A lot of things have been provided and seat up. Most of the people have traveled in advance and booked a stay so moving the event is out of the question.”

“Alright then… This just means I won’t be attending it this time.”

“Excuse me?”

“I’ll send someone from my team. I expect the same results as last time.”

“Yes but why won’t you come this time? You had always attended before… What’s different now?”

“I realized that it’s hard to build something if you’re half way across the world…”

“….”

Kengkla hung up. It was a hard decision to make but he knew it would be best if he wanted this to work. The first step in the right direction. That’s what he told himself.

He finished with his documents that would travel all the way to Brazil, Rio de janerio – where this event would be held. He called in Kris and gave him the address to where they need to be. After getting that done he made his way back to his room. He had left at 3am to complete his work, it was now almost 11am.

When he entered the room. He found it was still dark. Confused, Kla went to pull the curtains open.

“Ahhh! Close them!!” Techno’s annoyed voice filled the room.

Kengkla hadn’t expected to find him still in bed and at this time. The house keepers usually have it clean by 8am.

Techno slowly pulled the sheets up to his chest and over his head. Hiding himself from the light. Kengkla walked over. He sat beside him and stroked his back. “Why are you still in bed? Are you tired?”

Techno groaned. “I don’t feel to good…”

Kla continued to rub at Techno’s back not knowing it was stimulating something.
Techno slowly sat up then placed his hand over his stomach. Something was making its way up his throat.

“Oh no…” He sprung out of bed almost knocking Kla in the face and ran towards the bathroom.

“Hey … Are you okay?” Kengkla found himself rushing to Techno’s side.

Techno felt like his insides were rejecting his body and wanting to find a way out. He sat still on his knees and his face deep in the toilet, ready for the next release. His head was beginning to formulate a headache and so nothing at that moment pleased him. Everything would soon annoy him, even Kla himself.

“Am fine… You can go.” Techno pushed Kla’s hand away finding it to be more of an annoyance then help.

“You sure?” Kla took a step back.

“Yea… It must have been something I ate. It will pass. Don’t worry… You can go.” The bitter taste of vomit clung to the inside of his mouth as he spoke. Slowly the asalte from his stomach regained it’s self.

Kengkla watched helplessly before going out. He found the house keepers and asked them to clean his room. While they did that, Kengkla found his way to the Kitchen where he meet Art.

“What’s wrong Sir?” Art noticed the frown that Kla wore on. He immediately came to his side.

“I want you to do something for me Art…”

“Of course Sir… Anything.”

Kengkla looked around first. He wasn’t sure about what he was doing but he was starting to see his feelings clearly. “I want you to cancel the fake boyfriend act…”

“Excuse me?”

“You heard what I said… I want to stop… And maybe keep Techno with me for a while longer. The month will be coming to an end soon.”

“Sir… Do you realize what you’re saying?”

“I know… And I think Techno caught a bug or something… Make sure he gets a health check.”

Art nodded. Having received his instructions he left. He made his way to Kla’s bedroom. There he found Techno seated on the bed with an  uncomfortable expression on his face.

“Kla said your not feeling well. Am here to give you a check up.”

Techno closed his eyes. “I said an fine. It was something I ate.”

“Even if so… I need to check if you got food poisoning. Let’s go…” Art was already by Techno’s side, helping him get up and on his feet.

They found themselves moving towards the back of the large house.

“Where are you taking me?” Techno tried to speak with his faded breathing.

Art ignored him and kept walking. When they reached a small corner they turned to find a white door. Art unlocked it and lead Techno inside. Because Kla had a large number of stuff he at some point had a mini clinic built.

Techno focused his eyes to his surroundings and found the room to look similar to the one he entered when applying for this job.

Art put him down on a stool and went out. He came back with someone Techno recognized.

“Do all the tests…” Art ordered Dim.

“Anything in particular you want to know?” Dim asked while putting on a pair of gloves.

Arts head wondered until it got to one subject. He knew it could be a possibility but he tried not to think about it. If it was to be the issue Techno was battling with then he prayed that his plan would work.

“Umm, No. Just do them all. It could be anything.”

Techno in his dazed state did everything that Dim told him to do. Including taking of his clothing. He wasn’t sure for what but he did it.

“OK, this is the last one. I need you to pee in this container… Just like last time but this time… You can do it in there…” He points to a door to the left. “It’s a toilet…”

Techno nods and follows the direction. When he had finished everything. Dim gave Techno something strong that lead him into a deep sleep but before he could, Art helped him back to Kla’s room to rest.

Upon returning he asked for the results. Dim gathered some work sheets and handed then to Art. Taking them carefully he held his breath.

“His healthy… Am sure that’s not what you want to know but there’s something else…”

Art’s eyes traveled down the page and read the description for all the possible outcomes. He turned the page and continued.

His eyes finally stopped on one column. “Positive…” He whispered. Loud enough for Dim to hear.

“Are you sure?” Art put down the sheet he was holding.

“You’re doubting my ability? And how can you ask me this when you know it was you that made this happen…”

Art kept quiet. His lips turned sour. “This wasn’t my plan and you know that. I didn’t think he would like him! Why is he different from the rest?”

Dim stood from where he was standing. “This is happening and Kla will find out sooner or later. I suggest you find a way to stop Kla from falling any deeper.”

Art let out a sigh. He pulled out his phone and looked for a number he hadn’t saved. When he found it, he called and waited.

“Hello?”

“Do you remember me?”

The other side of the call fell silent for a moment but soon a voice was heard again.

“I do…”

“I think it’s time for you to give me your answer. Will you come over?”

Earth closed his eyes. He had asked Art to give him time to think it over and now he called him again.

“I thought it over and… Yes. I’ll make time to see him”

Art let out a sigh of relief. “Today… In an hour. Can you make it?”

The sudden request shocked Earth but he wanted this over and down with. He had always felt quilty for just leaving Kla. He found that this could be his chance to apologize.

Art sent Earth Kla’s home address and said his goodbye knowing that they will meet again. He hung up and looked at Dim.

“What are you looking at?” Dim frowned.

“You don’t tell Kla about this…”

“Ha, If I wanted your plans to burn I would have told him from the beginning. I won’t start now. Your secret safe with me but he will start to notice that something is wrong with Techno so…”

Art held the back of his head. “About that… Do you by chance have abortion pills?”

Dim’s eyes widened in shock. “Excuse me?”

“I know I know but he doesn’t fit the bill anymore to go through with this, please just help me here…”

“I can’t believe you…” Dim turned around and started looking for a box. Once he found it he gave it to Art.  “Be careful with those… One to many and they could really hurt or kill him.”

Art nodded. He didn’t want to do this but he had no other choice. Kla will be his. And they will have a happy family together. He would just have a different carrier to carry out his dream. His long wanted fantasy. He really didn’t care if he broke and injured people along the way.

As long as the outcome was to his favor. Having himself in Kengkla’s arms.
