The 3000 that made us meet again

He was awarded the spy award. He shook my hand, and said it’s no point saying goodbye to anyone else, he’ll probably never see them again. He left quietly, people at the party wondered where he had disappeared. I thought it was the last I would see of this Thai-American who was referred to as being "half American and half normal"…
The next day, as I’m boarding my plane for Bangkok, I receive an sms from him saying "I remembered that I owed you money, but I also remembered that I put 3000 Bahts in your bag yesterday at the beach". Damn!
He would reach Bangkok to catch a flight to Chang Mai 10 minutes before I had to board my plane to Vientane…
The meeting point – the only food place at the Domestic Terminal of Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok.
15 minutes before I had to board, I receive an sms from him "Landing…"
And a few minutes later, I see the Thai guy (no he’s definitely not American) with his customary shirt and shorts and his usual walk… and we are both laughing our heads off as we meet once again in Bangkok. I tell him "I thought I’d never see your face again"…
"No shiiiit" he says…
