MY COLD-HEARTED BOSS

Chapter - 3 : Singto's Past

SINGTO PRACHAYA

I left to Pattaya from Bangkok. It took around 2-3 hours to reach there. I took out a note from my pocket with an address written on it. I reached to that address and rang the doorbell.

A few seconds later, a middle-aged woman opened the door. I smiled, and greeted her.

“Are you Khun Ratchanee?” I asked politely.

“Yes, I am.” She replied with a smile on her face.

“Who are you looking for, young boy?”

“I came here to meet you.” I grinned.

“Oh, please come in.” she smiled and invited me to come inside.

“This is for you, Khun Ratchanee.” I smiled and handed her the bouquet.

“Thank you.” She smiled and asked me to sit. She went inside and came with a glass of water for me, and sat next to me. I drank water.

“I am Khun Nattawut’s son, Singto.” I introduced myself.

“Oh! You are Khun Nattawut and Khun Kwan’s son.” She surprised, and asked excitedly. The last time I saw you, you were probably 9-10 years old. “How are your parents? Have they also come in Thailand? It’s been a long time, since we haven’t talked to each other.”

“No, they haven’t come here. They’re still in England.” I grinned.

“Actually I haven’t got any chance to meet you ever since we shifted abroad. After completed my studies when I came here, I started a new company and got busy with it.” I explained her with a regretful voice.

“How have you been these years? Actually, I feel very sorry for you and your family.” I gave her a worried look. “What Khun Thanaphat did for our family, we can never repay the debt.”

FLASHBACK

NARRATOR (THIRD PERSON)

About 17 years ago,

Khun Thanaphat and Khun Ratchanee went to the hospital as their 9 year old daughter Punpun had a fever. After treatment, they were leaving to go home. But Punpun insisted his father to buy her an ice-cream, so Khun Thanapaht went to buy ice-cream for her.

On the other side, Khun Nattawut’s family went to an outing. Singto was 10 years old back then. They went to the park, restaurant and for shopping. They were very happy. After done shopping, they were going to go home. Suddenly, a friend of Khun Kwan met her at the front of the mall. They greeted to each other. Khun Nattawut said to her wife that they were waiting for her the other side of the road, where they parked their car.

After done talking to her friend, she was going to cross the road. She turned back and waved to her friend. Mr. Thanaphat, who was also returning after buying ice-cream at the same time, saw a truck coming towards to Khun Kwan, who was walking carelessly. He shouted and ran to save her, and thrown her away. She fell beside the road, but Mr. Thanaphat got in front of the truck and fell down on the road with lots of blood.

Khun Kwan shockingly shouted and asked for help. Both the family who were on the other side of the road, shockingly shouted and ran to them. And take Mr. Thanaphat to the hospital. They reached the hospital and asked doctor to check, and save him. After done checking, the doctor said_ “he is no more”.

After hearing that, Khun Ratchanee lost her senses. She didn’t even crying at that time. Khun kwan who cried hard, came to her.

“I’m really very sorry. It’s all b’coz of me. If I was walking carefully, you wouldn’t have lost your husband today. It’s all b’coz of me.” She crying very hard and said sorry over and over again. She shook Khun Ratchanee, to bring back to her senses.
