The Compatible

Chapter 34

Kongpob's POV

"So.." P'Arthit started but I stopped him.
"Phi we can talk this later. All this can wait.." I said. I can see his face is pale than usual. He is looking tired. I saw tears gathering in his eyes.
"You don't want to listen? Are you mad at me?" He asked.

"No, no phi. But you look exhausted and there is always tomorrow.." I said.
"No I want to tell you now.." He said stubbornly. He crossed his arms and puffed his cheeks. He looks so cute.
"Ok but you feel any type of discomfort or dizziness, you'll stop. Okay?" I asked he nodded.

"So.." I said so he can continue..
"So as far as remember my parents loves me. They may not be great at showing it but they do. Ma is orphan. When she met Pa, they fell in love. Ma used to talk about her marriage and how my grandparents accepted her when I was kid. She used to talk a lot about my grandparents. How they loved her like their own daughter..

Often after this talk I used ask her where are they. She never gave me stable answers. But as I was kid then I wouldn't think much of it. As I grew I got to know that when I was born after a year my parents moved out from my grandparents house.
I was around 7 or something when I first saw my grandparents. I still remember that day Ma punished me for something. I was in my room as I was not allowed to go play with my friends. She called me. When I went to living room I saw them. After that day they visited frequently.

I loved them. They loved me. One day when they come they took me to park. There we met couple. They were probably same age as my grandparents. They had a girl accompanying them. I don't remember conversation but I remember that day I had fun. After that day I didn't saw that old couple again. When we went to your parents house I saw that couple in one of photo there and learned that they are your grandparents.

That was day when I saw my parents fight for first time. Till now they fight but I never tried to know why they fight. I know it's because of me. Because I can hear my name in those fight. Their fight got worse day by day. One day Pa even slapped Ma. When my grandparents got to know that they were so disappointed. They stopped visiting us eventually.

As I told you I was in middle school when I got to about my condition. You know Dr. Sam right? His father was that doctor who treated me for some years. After that Dr. Sam is treating me. By treating means, I was not allowed to go to any doctor for anything. And I had to do monthly check ups.

At first visit that old man told us to do USG, CT scan and some blood tests. After those tests he told me that I'm pseudo hermaphrodite. He gave me some kind of pill. After that day till the day I left my parents house I took that pill daily. I had to do monthly check ups and took those pills.
I'm sorry that I lied to you that day saying I don't remember anything about doctor. I was not ready that time..

Even when we visited my parents first time after marriage she handed me those pills and asked me to go to check ups. But surprisingly after month of nagging she stopped. I never cared to look into these things. I just went on agreeing what my parents asked me to do. I just wanted them to.. I don't know may be look towards me like normal person..

I met uncle Somchai in summer camps. You remember I told you teacher taught me how to fight. He is that teacher. I was so happy for first time in my life because someone was not treating me like some fragile person. He taught me fighting. He always says that I've special talents in me that even I don't know.

I learned him being our family lawyer when he visited my parents after my grandparents death. That was most difficult time for me and my parents. But surprisingly I survived. Even I survived through my panic attacks.
All my friends were so much help. They all are with me from childhood. But then Nam moved to another city for few years. I told her everything about me.
