Between Friend and Lover Part II
“Friend...Just a friend?”
“Put yourself in my shoes, Athip. There are no good memories of us in my brain. I don't want to lie to myself as much as I don't want to lie to you that we love each other. It's just because I don't have that kind of feeling for you now. If my memory returns and I remember how much I love you, I will call you my boyfriend. Please don't be upset that I need to be blunt with you." Sipang softly squeezed his hand back since she knew that her answer left Athip in deep pain. Nevertheless, this was the best for the time being.
"Yes, I do understand. But could I ask you a favor?"
“What is it?”
“Can you call me ‘Thip’ for once? Please don’t call me by my full name. Every time you call me by that name, I feel like I’m an outsider…the one you did not know.” Athip pleaded with her with his eyes as Sipang sent him a small smile. It was not a big deal…for her to grant his wish, especially for a good man like Athip.
“That’s fine…Thip.”
