Hi!

Sorry, it's a long chapter

Tin's POV

I couldn't believe what I had just heard, I was looking at him without understanding.

— Please, Tin. —He motioned for me to sit down—. We agree that I deserve that punch and you can still give it to me when I'm done. —He looked serious and... sincere, but he knows how to fake his emotions perfectly—. I only ask you to listen to me.

We sit. I was trying to calm down and get back to normal breathing. I was looking at him and it was hard for me to compose myself, how can he have an excuse for having made his little brother miserable? Okay, when I grew up I was more rebellious, but when we were kids I was a good boy. I always naively believed in his affection for me, he spoiled everything ... he made me suffer a lot and now ... is he going to excuse himself for all that? Shit Tin! you must calm down.

— When we were kids and dad married your mother, I was very happy to have a little brother. —He smiled.

Yeah right, how dare you?

— Seriously, Tin. —He repeated—. I always loved my little brother.

I said nothing. I don't know what he expects me to say, enough that I didn't get up to punch him.

— When I was little and I had a little brother, I was very happy. —He smiled—. I used to felt alone, abandoned and unloved. —He confessed seriously—. I liked the idea that my little brother loved me and admired me, it made me very happy. —There was a shy smile on his face; mine was still of few friends—. But, everything changed.

— Yes, I know.

— No, you know nothing! —He answered angrily—. My mother is a foreigner that grandmother always hated. —He blurted out—. But she was able to leave ... —He swallowed hard and he ran his hand through his hair furiously—. Do you know what grandmother did when she was alone with me? Do you? —His face was one of outright disgust—. She abused me, Tin, she beat me until I was almost unconscious bleeding and the only one who was there for me ... —His gesture changed and his face lit up—: was Hin.

I never thought that he would have gone through something like that, he sounded very serious.

—Did you know that I was kidnapped for five days when I was 7 years old? —He looked at me in the eye—. Did you also know that they tortured me and grandmother said that I could die  because "nobody loves that child "?

I had never seen that expression in Tul, he was really hurt and his eyes were very bright.

—Dad was out with your mother, and grandmother never told him... that's why those guys tortured me for five days... five fucking days, Tin! And I was as old as Phu Pha, can you believe it? —He was on the verge of crying— What would you do if my son is kidnapped? even if you hate me, Would you save him?

Of course, I would, but before I could answer he continued.

—She could have saved me, but she didn't because, from the bottom of her dark heart... she wanted me dead. —He clasped his hands furiously. He stands up and walked a few steps— I hate her and I hate everything she loves.

I knew Tul was kidnapped when he was a child but nobody wanted to talk about that and it was so many years ago that you have to look at it in newspapers... and my mother doesn't want me to know... so, this is my first time knowing the truth... Is it what really happen? Was Libra so tortured in his childhood? Is my grandmother such a horrible human being?
