Chapter 30

Kong's POV

Today morning I woke up with P'Tay and Arthit wishing me a good morning and best of luck. I replied to both of them and got ready in three-piece suits. P'Gun also came to my room to get ready. It took us a complete hour to get ready.

We both made our way to the Black Audi car. As planned we went to the first company and met the project manager. We gave them the details of the project and the report under the names of the heirs. We also told him that due to some internal issue we are submitting a replacement report which is far better and since the due date wasn't up he accepted it.

We explained things to him regarding the project. He promised us to keep it a secret about our visit understanding the situation and promised to consider this project report instead of the one submitted by the company. He will have to because the project was being submitted under the name of the heirs. After that meeting, I and P'Gun changed into our college uniform and met our friends. P'Gun and I went in our own ways.

After lunch, the same thing repeated. We went to the other two companies and had the same result. I and P'Gun returned to my dorm changed again into college uniforms and left for college. I sent a Done message to P'Tay and P'Sing(and P'Kit). The result of the projects will be announced exactly on the day of graduation. We decided not to meet or text each other till a week before graduation. That means we will text each other again on the second Sunday from now.

I met my friends and joined them for the last class. After the class we 5 along with Arthit's friends hung around for some time. We were notified that today the results will be announced in the night. The delay was due to some server issues. I could sense that this kiddo was again becoming nervous so I asked him to stay over with me today. We went to my dorm. He excused himself to go to his dorm and get some comfy clothes. He came back with his things in 15minutes.

We were watching some movies while having some snacks. I was on his shoulder all the time. Suddenly there was a kiss scene playing... My heart started beating fastly... So was his. I could feel him fidgeting in his place. I looked up at his face... Our eyes met... I don't know who leaned in but the next thing I knew was our lips were touching. He was nibbling my lower lip.. he traced my lips with his tongue and seeking permission which I gave him. I don't know how long have we been kissing but we separated when we needed to breathe again.

I was feeling too shy to look at him so just hid my face in his neck and shoulder. Our heartbeats were high. We were broken from the moment with both our phones buzzing indicating a message. We took our phones and saw that the results were out. Arthit was starting to become nervous... I hugged him tight and this time I initiated a kiss but he dominated me. After we broke the kiss he was calm.

"Oon listen to me and don't get tensed.. trust me you will get a good result." I said and he nodded. I opened his result first. He had all A+ and one A above that the was the class topper along with Knot. He was jumping in happiness. No one will believe that this guy was tensed for a result... I thought he would fail seeing him get nervous... I just facepalmed. He gave me a quick peck on my lips and asked me to open mine. I opened mine and saw all A+.. and also this time I and Tew were both toppers.

We opened our groups. We came to know that in our class Em and Prae were second. Oak, Wad and Maprang were third. And in his friends Bright and Prem were second while Tutah was third along with Yuri and her friend. We were teased saying that couples are the toppers. They ended up good. The company project reports were submitted successfully... We shared our first kiss.. then the scores and finally, I slept snuggling with him. I could not ask for anything else. The next two weeks went on... P'Gun had topped his batch and P'Deer was second. We celebrated over drinks.. of course, P'Tay sneaked in without getting noticed. All our parents were happy but they were only going to meet on the day of graduation.

Exactly 5 days before graduation as planned P'Tay explained the situation to Pa and calmed him down saying that everything was in control. Everything will end on the day of graduation. He calmed down after speaking to me and P'Gun over skype.  We asked Pa to release a press statement about his second son's graduation anonymously, Which he did.

P'Sing contacted me exactly three days before, the day before we were planning to send the emails, and as I expected the proofs were missing. He was really feeling guilty. I assured him that I will make sure the mails are reached in time with untraceable emails with the name as we planned. I told him I expected this and kept the copy of the evidence with me. I told him that his accomplice in the bar doubted it. So I felt that they will take this step, I took the precautions without worrying you all. He was proud that I could handle such situations. I asked him to make sure to take over the share with the money I collected as an anonymous shareholder.

P'Tay and P'Gun were also informed about the evidence. They were glad that I was doing everything safely. Arthit was very understanding since the start of the week. He let me do my work without disturbing me while he was reading something or scrolling his phone. A day before the graduation I sent the mails successfully. I received back mails saying that they will look into this also assuring that they will take the steps once our identities are revealed. I made sure that everything was as planned. A day before I went to the mall along with Arthit to buy graduation gifts for P'Deer and his team. Obviously, the present I chose for P'Gun was different and unique from others. Tomorrow was D Day.

Graduation Day

After getting news about the second heir of Suthilaks graduating today from this college was really newsworthy. Everyone in the college knew about the rumor but did not know who it was. All the channels had their best reporters at work. Since our identity is still safe we were moving around freely doing our works. Everything was ready.. all the parents were seated.

The ceremony was opened. P'Gun was with his friends. Arthit's friends were all silent sensing that we were actually serious. We 5 hazers along with Prae and Maprang we really very alert with everything going around the reporters were arranged to cover the event from the front. P'Tay along with his friends managed to get my parents into the auditorium without being noticed by the reporters. All the seniors received their certificates. The juniors sensed that we did not even smile while P'Gun was receiving his certificate. We just were clapping.

"P.. is something wrong... Why are you all so serious.. even P'Gun and his friends seem to be serious although it is their graduations." Arthit asked me and all his friends were looking at me. I sighed and spoke to them.

"Remember when you proposed to us we told to find us if you still want to be with us after revelations which will be done today. That is what is in our minds. You will know in few more minutes." I said and glanced at my family then at P'Gun who was sitting at the front. It was time for announcing the valedictorian of the batch. I and my friends made our way to the front to ensure safety just in case the reporters try to push him. So did the fourth years. We knew that P'Gun was the valedictorian. The anchor started the announcement.

"The valedictorian of the batch is an Engineering student and his name is... " She gave a pause.. and then announced loudly... " Gun Suthilak." The whole hall was cheerful with shouts but many had question marks listening to the surname Suthilak. My juniors were all shocked and rooted as expected. We just pulled them back to their senses but did not speak anything. My brother made his way to the stage and cleared his throat.

" I know most of you all have many questions about me being a Suthilak especially the reporters. So I would like to clear the questions before delivering my speech." He looked at me and I gave a nod encouraging him.

"Yes I am the second Suthilak heir and I have an elder and a younger brother. My elder brother has graduated from this very college and the same faculty and is really well known. And same goes for my younger brother. Before revealing their identity let me tell you all why we hid the fact that we are Suthilaks. Everyone knows that the Suthilak Enterprises was established by my grandfather who wanted to do some good for the people. It gained its name and fame in less time. My father also gave his everything to expand the fruit of my grandfathers' dream. So we know that they are hardworking.

We the three heirs of Suthilak take pride in hard work but not in money. So we wanted to make our way and prove our worth. My elder brother was a scholarship student who joined our company as a director without any influence. I am a scholarship student and also received a job offer from my own company without any influence. So is my younger brother, A straight cent person student since the start of education who has interned in the RS Company even before starting his university life and the person our own company is trying to hire for the past few months.

You may ask me why are we revealing our identity now. Let me tell you, we three will be kind to everyone but dare to mess with us for your greediness and hurt our family.. we will make sure to show you your own fall especially my younger brother who aced in trapping people to protect his people. You all will know the reason in a couple of hours...

It is ours to deal with that person who wants us to suffer just for him to own the company. So, yes let me tell you all, I am Gun Suthilak, the second son of Mr. and Mrs. Suthilak, the owner of Suthilak Enterprises along with My elder brother Tay Suthilak and younger brother Kongpob Suthilak. I request my brothers to come on to the stage with our parents." My brother completed his speech. We made our way to the stage. There were cheers.. shocked faces.. surprised.. but we did not care. I stood in front of the mike my father and P'Tay to my right and my mother and P'Gun to my left. I looked straight to the reporters.

"Shoot your questions." That was all I said.

"Introduce yourself please." One of them shouted.

"You all know Mr. and Mrs. Suthilaks. The one besides Mr. Suthilak is Tay Suthilak the eldest... The one beside Mrs. Suthilak is the second Son, Gun Suthilak and I am the youngest, Kongpob Suthilak. I am known to the world with the name Simba. Also we three heirs are referred to as TS, GS, and KS." I replied with my head up.

"The rest of the questions will be answered by me... My parents along with my brothers will be seated. I would like to apologize to the management for causing them inconvenience and break in the event." I added. The management permitted it to sense the depth of the situation.

"Tell us what is happening in your company." One of the reporters asked. I glared at them very coldly. All my seniors, classmates, and juniors who know me were shocked to see me like this.

"Does your new channel management let you know what is happening internally? " I asked and the reporter replied "No".

"Then how do you expect me to put the internal affairs of MY COMPANY in front of the people who are not even related to the company.?" I asked her. There was no comeback to it. After few seconds I decided to brief the incident.

"Let me tell you briefly since I hate dealing with the same situations again and again. There is one idiotic person in our company who is doing the worst things like drug dealing and other illegal activities. That person wants to take over the company from the Suthilaks claiming that there was no heir as we were keeping a low profile.

That person used the company which was set up for the welfare of people with all the sweat, trust, and determination to achieve the result. That person tried to eliminate my family from this world... That person tried to use people with financial problems for his greediness. That person has been manipulating the board members against my father. This is what is happening...

But now let me tell you the result. My family is safe... My company is safe... The heirs have been revealed... Evidence has been collected and submitted... That person will be in jail... his accomplices have been caught with evidence and his drugs racket has been closed. All the projects which that person has tried to mess with have been replaced.

We the heirs have personally corrected them with a fake identity. We did not lose anything.. but that person is going to lose his life and everything he has because he tried to mess with a Suthilak. And Suthilak or not touch my parents, I will make sure you won't see the next sunrise." I said firmly. My brothers, friends, professors everyone was looking at me proudly. Everyone was clapping their hands.

"Khun Kongpob Suthilak can you reveal the identity?" a reporter asked.

"That will be done in a few hours... by the lawyers and the police.. the evidence has been sent to them already and they are on the way to arrest him." I smirked.

"Right now that person must be laughing and thinking that he erased the evidence already. But let me remind him that he is dealing with the youngest Suthilak who was always told to be sly when it comes to protecting his beloved people and above that, I am Simba.. who is known for tracking down frauds, cunning and the one who deals business for people and their benefit... So I have already tracked you down along with your IP address when you were erasing the data." I added.

"You will know who he is in a couple of hours and I will assure you that I and my brothers will put him in front of the press before he goes to jail. Also, I would like to request my faculty, friends, seniors, and juniors to not treat me any different because I am still the person you all know... I might be a Suthilak but I am Kongpob first. Now I request you all reporters to put those questions aside for that press meet and let the ceremony continue." I added. They all nodded and I got down the stage after thanking everyone for waiting patiently. I hugged my brother before going back to my friends. I looked at Arthit and his friends who were still shocked.

"Engineers... On this day I want to remind you all is 'SOTUS'... Seniority, Order, Tradition, Unity, and Spirit. These values which we learned and followed as engineers should be with us for our whole life. Never go against these values.. we were not engineers by birth.. but trust us when I say... Once an Engineer is always an Engineer no matter in which field we work. All the graduates all the best for our future and let us all be together like these four years whenever possible and be with each other like every other year we have been after knowing each other." P'Gun ended his speech in short but conveyed all the emotions. He tossed the Cap which the other graduates followed. We gave the gifts to our seniors.. and my dear brother.

My ma and pa hugged me. They were really proud of the way I spoke. We sent them off home promising to come and meet them in a day or two. P'Tay left to office. P'Gun and I went back to the hall. I found Arthit. Bright was also beside him. All my friends were beside me.

"We will wait in the cheer hall for you all... if you want to continue this relation find us there in 30minutes.. but if you do not come we will understand. But please know that our love for you is true and pure. Also, we will treasure these days forever." I said to Arthit and Bright both of them as mine and P'Gun's words. After that I, P'Gun, my friends left for the cheer hall leaving Arthit, Bright, Knot, Prem, Tutah, and P'Deer there.
