The night when Mr.Panich returned.

"Honey," Mrs.Panich got in her husband's office.

"Hm, yes?", Mr.Panich looked at her after then back to the ledger he was reading before.

"Are you busy?",

"Yeah, somehow...",

"Ah, okay.. I'll just come back later,.", she was about to leave..

"No, it's okay. It's not that important, do you have something to tell me?", he asked.

"Well, yeah.. it's about Zee and Jennie.", She nervously trailed and flinched when she met Mr.Panich's eyes.

"What about it?", he then move towards the sofa, tapping the empty seat indicating for his wife to sit.

"Uhmm..can...", she nervously looked at him.

"Yes?",

"Can..we just let Zee go?", she said holding Mr.Panich hands, caressing it.

"What are you talking about?", Mr.Panich voice slightly changed his pitch that made her flinch. "What do you mean letting Zee go?", she looked at him mustering her courage up.

"Let Zee with the person he loves.", Mrs. Panich replied. "We don't have the right choose who he'll choose to love, it's his choice", she added, looking straight to Mr.Panich's eyes.

"We don't have the right? What if it's what's best for him?",

"But it's not what he wants, he's in love with someone else and not to Jennie.Zee's my only child and i don't want him to get hurt. I don't want him to suffer because of our careless decisions. I want him to be happy. He's already suffering now, i don't want to be the reason for him to completely abandon us. Do you know? He hated me...maybe you too. I unconsciously set him aside and if not for that someone, maybe I'm still doing it now.."

"I know, I know that he despise me.", Mr.Panich replied and now smile to her." Bit what can I do, it's for all his future.",

"Honey, I know that it's all about Zee's future, but I want his future to be the future he wants, where he's happy, Zee's the only child we have, honey.. let us not be the hinder of it,naa", she pleaded caressing Mr.Panich hands.

"I met Saint", Mr.Panich said making her widen his eyes out of surprise.

"You what?",

"I met Saint in Chiang Mai,...no..I really did go to Chiang Mai for Saint.",

"What did you do?",shee nervously asked, removing her hands but was stopped when he held it.

"I didn't do anything, yeah, I planned to scare him but he beat me. He actually treated me the way he might be treating Zee, and he told me everything about Zee. He's actually the talker.", he added..

"Then if you didn't do anything, why did you stayed there for three days?", she asked.

"To examine him, to know how much of man he is to change Zee", he replied.

"So, what have you..",

"He's the complete opposite of Zee...but he's not hard to get along with. I don't blame Zee if he fell in love with him. He's fierce, but got a soft heart. Do you know he told me that he's ready to face any hardship I bring him, that I must settle things between our family first.", He added.

"That kid. Is he also the son of your friend..",

"Yeah.",

"Do you know that?",
