Save Me From Myself

Chapter Twelve

His father continued their work but his mother is not.

Chittsawangdee's Family continues to struggle with Rose’s death. A doctor tells Archie and his father that his mother will need long-term hospitalization and that it may take years to recover from her trauma-induced psychosis.

Driving back from the hospital, Archie and his father discuss what to do with his mother. His father is adamant about not sending her to a psychiatric ward or any hospital for that matter and insists that he will protect Archie and his mother.

His father said that Reverend John could work a miracle and that he could heal Archie's mother.

The look in his eyes, however, suggests that he is near the breaking point himself.

The fellows also visit them daily and give his parents blessing water.

At work, his father stops himself from taking a drink of water and he tilts back his head to drink but stops when he sees a spider web in the rafters above.

He looks at the web, remembering the prayers that Sister Mary said for him, quoting a Bible verse. "I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship," Staring up, his father suddenly envisions a cross woven into the center of the web. He now realizes, with tears in his eyes, that everything that has happened was part of Spiritual God’s plan and hurries off, as we see that there’s no cross within the web.

In-School, Arriving in the classroom there were still flowers on Rose's desk.

"Good Morning," they said to Archie.

"Our last exam next week would be better if we review together," said one of their classmates.

"We’re here at our resort," Bodie told them and they also promised to keep them out of trouble.

"Later we will have break time in the classroom and lunchtime together," Eeyore told them.

"What is that?" Archie saw his picture.

"We're lucky charms," said his female classmate and the others were pictures of Dojin, Bodie, and Eeyore.

Later, their teacher arrived.

Later, they had a lunch break and they were there on the rooftop to eat.

"Archie, are you still in Bangkok ?" as they had lunch on the rooftop.

"Yes, It's a pity that the scholarship was given if I didn't continue my studies and also help my parents," Archie said to Dojin.

"Thank care yourself too," Eeyore said to Dojin and he nodded.

"Where will you study here in Bangkok or at the Harvard University of Law that your father wants?" Archie asked Dojin.

"At Harvard University of Law and I just applied and then how is auntie Araya?" Dojin asked Archie.

"She's still not okay. dad doesn't want mom to be treated. He said we should trust Reverend John and he can cure my mother. I told him that they were taking drugs. Then what did Uncle Art say," Dojin said and Eeyore just sighed.

"He said another department, we are assigning our complaint to Reverend John and I feel like they are not taking any action," Eeyore told Archie.

"Don't say they're Paradise Village followers," he cursed while Bodie was still silent.

"I’ll tell dad what we discovered that there were drugs in the drink they put in," Dojin said and Archie thanked him.

"Why should we not be sad because we are always with Rose when she made this bracelet? Where do we go with my twin?" Archie told Bodie.
