ลำดับตอนที่ #1 : Chapter One - Prologue
"I look up and found your smiling face in the shadow that smiling back at me, I know you can't see me now, but I do see you, and I know we were be destined to be together, even though the world are big, wherever I go, I could always see you."
Suddenly the honking sound destroyed his imagination, only a millimeter away, an MRT train had just passed Krist's face at the rate and disappeared. He stood right in the yellow line, not moving, only blinking his eyes momentarily in confusion, suddenly a man shouted at him.
"You're lucky bastard, you could just end up at the next station in a ground meat form, a while ago!"
Krist turned his head towards the voice and was about to reply, but suddenly the fastening chain of a billboard near the pillar broke, so the board swung freely, everyone in the line squatted reflexively, except for the person who had just spoken to Krist . The board hit the back of his head very hard, and his body fell straightly to the floor.
His body and mouth shivered and his eyes wide open staring straight at Krist, fresh blood flowing out from his broken skull. Meanwhile the killer board still moves freely and swings proudly above it. Everyone who witnessed of it just now, started screaming in panic. Leaving Krist alone who was still frozen in his position.
Krist stunned instantly and slowly extended his hand towards the injured man on the floor. Suddenly another hand grabbed his wrist and stopped him to get closer.
"You can't return the life that been taken to replace of yours, it's too late for that!"
Krist's hand stopped instantly, he reached for the air and slowly clenched into fist, and then he ran out of the station, leaving the dying guy alone, in pain and despair. Not long after that security officers came to secure the area and tried to give help at the last second before the poor man breathed his last breath.
Krist ran with a small step under the drizzling rain, down to the alley after leaving the subway station, he did not believe that someone died in his place again for so many times. He doesn't want to live a life like this, living from stealing the lives of others, he feels damned, and this is terrible.
However, humans basically continue to be born and die in the circle of life, hundreds and thousands of souls come and go every second, every minute, following the rules of natural law, no one suspects what happened, no one protested, because everything seemed like an accident.
He arrived at the place he called home at 2:00 a.m, carefully walked in and headed straight for his small closet in the back, lightly closing the door, staring listlessly at the 2x3 meter square room.
There is a thin futon in front of small and only ventilation in the room, beside it there is a small clean wooden table, some boxes and unused stuff neatly placed in the corner opposite of it. The only lightning in the room is a small yellow light bulb in the corner.

Few years ago.....
"P'Krist, your house so gorgeous..." said a woman who curled around Krist's arm.
"So you like my house not me?"
"I just compliment your house, why would you compare yourself to a house?" she frowned. "Ridiculous!"
"They say, woman's heart and mind doesn't sync, meaning you are the most dishonest creature in the world..."
"Oh you think it like that?" she laughed and free herself. "But, do you know...a man are the most foolish creature in this world, you clearly have seen our tails, yet you still get yourself into trap!"
"Ah, yeah! Because the most interesting and challenge part for us is how you find a way to get out of the trap, like winning a game and being proud of yourself!"
"No wonder!" she stop commenting and turned around to admire the scenery around the house and ignore Krist.
Sangpotirat mansion, is an old mansion that built by Prince Preacheya two centuries ago, he present it to his illegitimate son before off to war and never returned.
His son, who is Krist's grand grandfather at later collected the treasure in the mansion and put them into auction, then started the auction business gallery. Most of the customer are foreign archeologists, collectors, and famous artists.
However, Sangpotirat is a big family, his grand grandfather had 9 wives and 18 sons and daughter. In the last 90th century, the family nearly went bankrupt, the auction business was forced to close by the government, and the children moved out of main mansion one by one and built the new life at other place and were never seen again.
Only Krist's grandfather was left to look after the mansion and started the small cookies business from baking hobby. Now they have a cookies factory that produce the variations of cookies in large. However, their family business can be said to be quite successful and their products are sold throughout the country. However, Krist hates cookies, he never touches or tastes them.
"P'Krist you're home!" shouted a little girl around 12 years old, who is running down the staircase then straightly rush forward to hug him at once.
"Vee, I miss you!" he hugged back and lay a kiss on the young girl's black and long hair.
"It's been over a half years, I miss you so much, Phi!" then she turned to looking at the girl who came with Krist. "Your friend?"
"My girlfriend...." replied Krist. "For now...."
"Wife...very soon..." the woman add in. "Your sisters? I guessed." she point at Vee and smiled. "Hello, my name is Stella, nice to meet you."
"My brother doesn't seems to like you very much!" Vee replied to the point.
"W-what?! You..." Stella grinned her teeth did not believe what she had just heard.
Vee turned to Krist again and widely smiled. "Dad, mom and everybody will be happy to see you, I'll ask uncle Pon to prepare the special dinner tonight. I hope you'll stay here as before and never left us again."
"I need to study, remember?" Krist replied her. "But, next time I will came home often, promise!"
"Fine." she's pouting. "But, please just came home alone!"
"I know!"
"What do you mean? So this is the way your family welcomes guests?" Stella protested with emotion, trying to disperse the two sibling's conversation.
Krist finally turn at her and replied. "You're not a guest, remember?"
"Huh?! I..." she lost the words trying to digest what he meant. "O-of course, I am the part of the family...soon..."
"Alrigth, Phi! I'll left to the kitchen now! See you in the dining hall tonight!" Vee waved her little hand and ran toward kitchen direction in excited.
"Really?!" Stella shows her dislike toward the girl. "Well, now I do understand of what they say about more hard to deal with sister-in-law than the mother in law..."
"You haven't met my mom! How you know?!" Krist walk passed her toward the staircase.
"Excuse me?!"
"Well, let's just go to my room and we can continues our unfinished business in this morning, what do you say?" Krist began unbutton few of his top shirt.
"I like that! You seems so impatient!" Stella teased him. "I can't wait to laying down on your legendary bed and smell of your childhood scents." She running to chase Krist and wrapped her hand around the guy's waist, following him to the big room at the most end corridor.
