Tik's customer 2

Christian was here tonight unusually with two buddies. I looked for her vaguely, so used to seeing them together.

 

There was a sense of IP evasive. The last fight she had picked was over my mercy bar fining Tik when she had gone home for New Year.

 

?She no work bar now.? Preemptively

 

I struggled to stifle curiosity. She had been there as long as I could remember

 

?She no dancing maak ma. Mamasan angry she?

 

No sign of emotion flickered across her slightly averted profile.

 

They had been friends for years. Two stars eclipsing each other.

 

I remembered them achingly.

 

Suddenly flashed to a grave South African Pastor in Nakon Sawan, years ago, lamenting Thais don?t have friendships.

 

She got up abruptly; ?I go eat come back 5 minute?

 

Alone, I saluted Christian who gazed back.

 

?She isn?t here? he mouthed and a gesture of resignation.

 

 

Their public meetings had always had the cadence of lovers. He would come early.

She was adoring. They artfully unraveled the evenings. Drinking beer, playing pool.

Towards midnight go upstairs?. though recently the vitality had faded. Now with his friends buffooned around him.

 

She returned with a bag of insects.

 

We put it behind us.

 

 

 

 

Much much later she told me about the mayhem wreaked in the bar. Gigging the younger brother of the DJ until his wife with a meat cleaver?..
