Chapter 1: First Meeting
In a small town located on the coast of Thailand, there lived a man named Akira Jati. Akira is a successful director at a large company in Bangkok. Despite having a brilliant career, Akira is still single and has no meaningful romantic life. Therefore, his friends refer to him as "Bujang Lovers."
{Bujang lovers: what is meant is someone who is long single who does not have a partner of the opposite sex, Gadis}
That day, Akira decided to take a leave of absence and visit the small town of his birthplace, Chiang Mai. He longs for the fresh air and beautiful scenery that can only be found in his hometown. Unexpectedly, the trip home this time would bring about a huge change in his life.
Arriving in Chiang Mai, Akira looked for lodging to stay for a few days. He chose a small villa located in the middle of the green hills. As he walked into the villa, his eyes were fixed on a beautiful woman who was in the lobby.
The woman had long brown hair and twinkling eyes. She looked so beautiful with her friendly smile. The enchanted Akira immediately walked over to him.
"How are you? My name is Akira. I just arrived here," Akira said with a smile.
The woman replied kindly, "Hello, Akira. I'm Dokmai, the manager of this villa. Welcome to Chiang Mai. Can I help you with something?"
Akira smiled shyly. "Do you have an empty room for the next few days?"
Dokmai. "Of course, we still have some empty rooms. Please choose what you like."
Akira chose a room with a beautiful balcony view, then paid to stay for three nights. He followed Dokmai to his new room, and the two of them walked over chatting with laughter.
After putting his things in the room, Akira invites Dokmai to dinner with him. They go to a local restaurant that is famous for its delicious dishes. As they sat facing each other, Akira felt that there was something special between them.
During dinner, Akira and Dokmai share stories about their lives. Dokmai revealed that he had been running the villa for several years after returning from his studies abroad. He enjoys his job because he meets a lot of interesting people.
Meanwhile, Akira tells about his successful career in the business world, but also expresses his loneliness in his personal life. He admits that despite having everything, he has not found true love.
Dokmai gives spirit to Akira. "Maybe true love will come when you least expect it. Keep it open, Akira, and who knows, maybe you'll find it somewhere unexpected."
Akira smiled. He feels very comfortable with Dokmai and hopes their relationship can be more than just friends.
After dinner, Akira drives Dokmai home to the villa. Before parting ways, Akira thanks Dokmai for making the night so much fun.
Dokmai smiled and said, "Sama-sama, Akira. I'm glad to see you. If you need any help as long as you're here, don't hesitate to contact me."
Akira nodded and walked back to his room with a big smile on his face. He felt a miracle in the air that night, and his heart was pounding in hope of something more than friendship.
Inside her room, Akira looks at the beautiful view from the balcony and thinks about Dokmai. He felt that there was something different in their meeting. Is this the beginning of a new and exciting love story?
The days pass quickly in Chiang Mai, and every day Akira gets closer to Dokmai. They spend time together, exploring the natural beauty of the small town, and sharing stories and laughter.
Every time the two of them were together, Akira felt a different vibe in his heart. He began to feel that there was a special bond between them. However, he also felt hesitant and afraid to express his feelings to Dokmai.
One afternoon, after exploring a beautiful flower garden, Akira and Dokmai sit under a shady tree. They enjoy the silence and beauty of the environment. Akira looked at Dokmai with awe, feeling the courage that grew within him.
Akira took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Dokmai, since the first time I met you, my heart has changed. I feel like our relationship is more than just friendship. I'm in love with you."
Dokmai was surprised, but his smile remained on his face. He was silent for a moment, letting Akira's words sound in silence around them.
Finally, Dokmai replied softly, "Akira, I feel the same way too. We have a special bond that is hard to ignore. But there is something you need to know."
Akira looked at Dokmai attentively. "What's that?"
Dokmai took a deep breath before continuing, "Actually, I will be leaving Chiang Mai soon. There's a job opportunity abroad waiting and I don't want to let it go."
Akira was shocked and felt disappointment envelop his heart. However, he understood that everyone has their own dreams and life goals.
"So, what does this mean?" asked Akira in a sad tone.
Dokmai looked at Akira sincerely, "I don't want to lose anything we've built together. Would you be willing to go into a long distance relationship if we decided to be together?"
Akira thought for a moment, considering the decision he would take. His heart tells him that Dokmai is someone special, and he does not want to let go.
Steadily, Akira replied, "I'm willing to go through a long distance relationship if it means we can stay together. Love knows no distance and I'm sure we can get through this together."
Highlight Dokmai's eyes sparkled with joy. He clasped Akira's hand tightly, showing his seriousness and desire to continue this relationship.
"Thank you, Akira. You are a special person to me. I promise I will fight to keep this relationship even if the distance separates us" Dokmai said with confidence.
They smiled at each other, knowing that a great challenge awaited them. However, with a strong love and determination, they were ready to deal with it.
That night, Akira and Dokmai walk home with their hands clasped tightly together. They have found an unexpected love in Chiang Mai, and although their future may be fraught with uncertainty, they are ready to face it together.
In their hearts, hope thrives, and their love changes Akira's view of life. He realizes that fate has brought him back to his hometown to find the true love he has been looking for.
With light steps and a heart full of happiness, Akira and Dokmai walk towards the sunset, ahead of a new adventure in their unexpected love story.
