Finding my way to you

Ch. 11

Since that incident with Forth, Beam's life became hectic. He didn't even have time to  drink water. His work load increased tremendously. He also tried to do other part time jobs on the holidays. His body became soo weak but he didn't dare to rest. Because he can't even imagine what would those loan sharks do to him if he couldn't pay atleast half of their amount. It was impossible for him to pay those loans. His nightmares became worse and his anxiety level kept on rising. Tears became his only friend.

Beam was washing plates on the company's kitchen when he suddenly felt dizzy. He tried to grab the kitchen counter but his grip on the counter loosen. But suddenly a pair of soft hands help him to seat on the ground.

“Hey.. Are you okay? Wait.. Let me call someone. ” a concerned voice asked Beam.
“No.. No.. Please do.. don't call.. anyone. I... I'm okay. ” Beam struggled to voice out his feelings.

“okay, okay.. I won't call anyone. Just be relax. ” the soft voice consoled him.

“ Just drink it. ” a glass of water was given to him.
After drinking the water when Beam noticed the owner of the voice clearly he became extremely shock.

It was Pring who was helping him.
“ Thank you ” Beam timidly said.

Pring just gave him a small smile in return.

“ You look so pale. Are you sick? I think, you should see a doctor . ” Pring advised Beam slowly.

“No.. I.. I'm okay. ” Beam replied her.

“You should atleast take a leave for rest of the day. ”Pring didn't want leave the topic.

In that moment Pring's phone started ringing. “ Yeah.. Yeah.. I'm coming. ” Pring answered the phone and the phone call ended.

“I'm Pring btw.. And you? ” pring introduced herself and offer her hand for a handshake.

“ Beam. ” Beam answered while starring at her beautiful looking soft hand.Her nails were beautifully manicured. He didn't want to dirty her hand by shaking it. But when he realised Pring didn't retreat her hand, he started to wipe his hand on his cloth and finally hold her hand. Pring smiled at Beam's action.

“ I have to go now. See you around.. Beam ” Pring gave a sweet smile then left.

‘  She is just perfect for Forth. ’ Beam thought in his mind while smile sadly.

Then again Beam started to wash the remaining plates with his shaking hands.

After ending his shift Beam was walking towards his home. The night was a cold one.He really wanted to ride a bus but he didn't want to waste his money. He tried to be positive.He tried to save money as much as possible. But his fear was eating him from inside.

Suddenly a car stopped beside him. The window of the passenger seat rolled down showing Pring's beautiful face.

“Hey Beamie, are you going home? ” Pring  asked with a smile.

“ yes. ” Beam replied politely.

“ Then..Why don't you ride with us? ” Pring excitedly offered.

Beam didn't expect that Pring would offer something like this.

Seeing that Beam was silent, Pring again asked with a serious tone  " You won't decline your boss's order. Will you? ”

“ Forth say something na. ” Pring whined
at Forth. Forth just glared at Pring silently.

Beam became stiff hearing Forth's name. Then he noticed that Forth was on the driving seat of the car. There was no way Forth would allow him in his car.

“ I.. It's okay. I live just a few blocks away. ” Beam tried to explain.

“ No you will ride with us. End of discussion. ” with that Pring came out of the car, grabbed Beam's arm and forced him to seat in the back seat.

Forth just sighed with annoyance.

Beam seat timidly and hugged his worn out bag tightly.

“ Now Beamie. Tell me your location, so we can drop you. ” Pring sweetly asked.

Beam gave her a address which was a few blocks away from his home. He didn't want to show them his leaving condition. Beam thought, they would be more disgusted.

“ You called this distance a few blocks away ”Pring chuckled when she Beam's adress, which was outside the city.

When they entered the poorest area outside the city, pring looked out of the window observing the surrounding. The place was giving a creepy vibes. The buildings were cheap and roads were worn out. The surrounding was really shabby. It was first time for Pring to entered this kind of place.

“ Do you live alone? ” Pring eyed Beam carefully when the car stop.

“ Yes ” Beam nodded.

“You live here? ” pring asked Beam.

“ oh.. No.. I live a few buildings away. I will just take a short route. ” Beam replied while went out of the car.

“ Then why did you give this location? ” Pring questioned.

“ The road was broken ahead. So, I thought... ” Beam tried to explain.

“ Okay then. Go safely. ” pring replied while eyeing Forth who was tapping his fingers  impatiently.

“ Good night Beamie. See you tomorrow. ” Pring gave her charming smile.

“ Good night ” Beam replied while trying to smile.

When Beam reached his room, he tried to ease his pain by rubbing his chest. He really felt hurt by Forth's action. Forth just acted like he didn't exist while he was sitting in his car. He didn't even spare a glance at him. But he didn't had any rights to complain after all he was the one who hurt Forth first.
