Coming Home to You - A Tale of Thousand Stars FanFiction

A Day Off

"What?! But Why?!"

Tian felt a firm grip on his hand as he was being dragged. Tian cheeks were flaring with wet tears smearing his face. "No No Poh, don't take me away. I-I want to be with Chief Phupha. You can't do this. Please let me go!" 

Tian didn't have a chance to break free from the rigid hold of the bodyguards who were now directing him to their SUV. Tian's parents were closely falling him behind. He struggled, flapping his arms, dragging his weight by the toes,  his heart contorted and pleading his parents. "Mae, Mae, please tell dad. I love him. I love-"  Tian was tucked in the backseat of the car and flanked by his displeased parents. 

His Mom turned to Tian dabbing his tear with tissue and adjusting his hair. "Honey, what are you talking about? Who is Chief Phupha? Why are you running away from the hospital." A tear rolled down her eye as she tightly gripped his hand. 

"I'm not sick, why are you taking me to the hospital?!"

"Let me go!" All Tian could see was a sheet of darkness through the tinted glass. 

"Tian, Stop it!" Mr Teeyarut tried to hold the anger but it could no longer contain the urge to ask his son to stop being frantic with a mix of irritation and worry on his face.

"But Dad I want to be with him. With Phupha Viriyanon! Stop the car! " Tian banged on the headrest in front of him with a fist again and again but strangely the two guards never turned back to respond. 'Who are these people. I've never seen them before. They're not Poh's usual guards. I can't figure out their features.'

"Son, you're worrying us now. Your condition is worsening and we're unable to find a suitable donor for you. Now your off running away from the hospital like- " Mr Teeyarut sighed "like manic talking about a guy who you never met and is already dead."

Tian's everything stopped functioning momentarily. His thoughts were blocked and all he experienced was a sharp pain in his chest,  vision blurred and buzzed with pricking noise vibrating in his ear. He swallowed air. "What do you mean by dead?"

"Chief Phupha died in the field, on duty, and Tian, son you never met him? And love? Do you think we'd agree with you being with a man?"

"Dear, Tian is delirious from the drugs. Let's not talk about it for now. Let's get him back to the hospital first?" Mrs Teeyarut exchanged worried looks with her husband. 

"Don't worry your mom than she already is Tian.Sit back and close your eyes."

"No!"

.....

"No, he can't be dead. I met him. I'm with Chief Phupha. We're in a relationship. This- this is absurd." Tears streamed down his face like endless bubbles of water. "Why are you taking me to a hospital, Mae?"

"Son, you're sick. We're doing our best to find a compatible donor before it's too late."

"This doesn't make any sense." The numbness in his right hand increased and he clutched it with the other hand. Tian then remembered. Torfun. "I already had surgery, Torfun was the donor. I went to Pha Phun Dao. I'm in love with Chief Phupha. I love the little kids there, there's Doc Nam who's like a Phi to me and then-" Tian hiccupped, his eyes roaming the interiors of the SUV to focus on but the details were blurred. "there's Sir Khamma and others. This-" He clutched his head burning it in his hands "is not real. No." Tian ran his hands frantically over his chest trying to feel the scar underneath his shirt.
