The Dark Side Of Love

Chapter Six

Human beings are cruel creatures. They don't understand everything. And what we don't understand, we tamper with it until we destroy it.

........................ ................. ...............

There are many ways to spend an off day's afternoon. With family, which he doesn't have. With friends. His was more fixated on eating chicken while watching women with red dresses. And of course with a lover..Which he doesn't have now. The one thing he has is a kid who introduces him as his Uncle.

So, in that case, the next best option for him is the police officer sitting while looking at him as if he had murdered someone which he did but this one doesn't need to know that. But those eyes held a look that can only be described as annoying to him of course. Others will tell it's quite intimidating. But to him it looks more like a man trying to prove that he is just that...a man. Such a waste. Of his time.

"She was the one who gave testimony against your father. Do you remember?"

Of course he does. "That's not something I am supposed to forget Mr.."

"San"

His voice was just like him. Trying to be fierce only to be ended up sounding as nothing but childish tantrum.

"Mr. San, as I was saying, I can't just forget her. It's not like she stole something unimportant and fled away. She kind of singlehandedly destroyed my family, so no I don't think I can forget her."

The eyes looking at him seems to narrow even more. As if trying to find a loophole that was too small to the eyes. He really would've suited the role of a lab doctor more. Looking through his telescope with those smaller than ordinary eyes.

"Well, yes you got that right I guess. But you must know that the same woman has been registered as an unfound person in our book. And right now.." He leaned forward with those original than smaller eyes. Again looking for something in his face then sighed when he couldn't find any.

"Right now...I am one of the people in your suspicion book?" The police officer was smart. But not more than him. "Then I guess I have to disappoint you. Because I have nothing to do with that woman. Never did. And if I can, I would like it to stay that way. " Especially since that woman is buried six feet below. And he was not in a hurry to go there. 

At least not yet.

"Mr. kanawut, you do know that a person can be sentenced to prison time for kidnapping?"

He almost had the urge to touch the forehead to straighten the narrowed lines appearing on that forehead. Instead he took out another cigarette. His colons already asking for that damaging inhale. "Kidnapping convictions can result in lengthy prison sentences, including life sentences in some situations and states. Sentences of 20 years or more are common for first-degree or aggravated kidnapping, while minimum sentences of five years or more are common for second-degree kidnapping. Do you want to know more?" He offered him a cigarette which was declined. Perfect civil servant behavior.

"I hope you really are not connected with this Mr. Kanawut. And if you are I will find it."

"Then...I wish you the best of luck. Now If you'll kindly leave my office. That will be appreciated. It's my off day after all."

The man stood up taking his hat in his hand before looking at him. His eyes finally going back to normal shape. "Till we meet again, Mr. kanawut."

"Cheers to that" Gulf held up his cigarettes in that man's direction. It seems to irritate him more as he left the room without looking back. For a while he couldn't help but stare at that direction. That police officer was what he called a typical honest man. But he would need more than just an investigation to find him. After all, it is harder to find the lawbreaker if the culprit is a man of law himself.
