The Storm Inside Me.

34. Baby mine don't you cry

[ Trigger warning : mention of child abuse. Sorry 💔🙏 ]

"I'll come see him,'' sighed Porchay, "but my mother is with Khun Korn, I'm alone with Aurora....No, P'Pete, don't worry I'll come see Macau. I know he suffers from depression, I have to be there for him. He is my friend and you are worried about him. I will take Aurora with me, yeah we are coming. See you soon."

Porchay hung up, he looked at Aurora, the little one was staring at him with her big eyes, chewing on a toy. Luckily, he noticed his new neighbor, P'Sun, jogging every morning in front of his house so he took the opportunity to call him.

"I'm so sorry," Porchay said, handing him the baby's stuff.

"Come on, Nong Chay, it's normal, this is my job too. I had offered to babysit her and today I'm not working, it's my day off, it's the perfect day."

Porchay apologized again, he gave Aurora to Sun, but the latter kept sulking, puffing out her cheeks and hissing almost like a feral kitten. She didn't seems to like P'Sun, which was unusual, because she even smiled to Vegas before biting him. However, Porchay didn't have much time.

"Aurora be nice to P'Sun, I have to go see Uncle Macau, do not bite... I'll be right back! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Here is my phone number, if there's ever any problem, please call me."

Moon smiled again at Porchay who almost ran off, and finally he looked down at the little monster in his arms.

"You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this moment... This is gonna be fun, right cry-baby ?" hissed Moon.

Without any gentleness, he threw the little girl to the ground, who immediately cried out in pain. Her little head slammed against the cold ground.
Moon didn't care, he left her on the floor, and went upstairs to search for Porchay's room. There were dozens of pictures of the kid with HIS Kimhan hanging all over the walls. Moon felt so mad, he almost wanted to threw up.

"Motherfucker..." Moon growled, he wanted to snatch a photo but he came back to his senses, it was still too early, he didn't have Porchay's total trust. "Oh shut up you brat!"

He went back down the stairs, Aurora was looking at him with hatred, and he raised a puzzled eyebrow:

"You're very expressive for a baby. This is not okay. I'm going to teach you some good manners..."

He grabbed the little one, who screamed again, so loudly that Moon gritted his teeth. He looked for the bathroom, ran cold water and threw the little girl still in her pajamas into the water. Of course, the bite of the cold water on Aurora's tiny body made her scream and cry, which annoyed Moon, he hated children. Who said Aurora never cried hmn ?! She was clearly screaming her lungs out. That was so annoying.

"Keep crying and I'll drown you!" roared the man furiously.

Aurora tried to bite him and Moon left the bathroom, leaving the baby with the water flowing. Too bad if the brat died, it wasn't his problem. He wanted to go look into Porchay's room a little bit more...
But suddenly, he heard a car coming, in a quick glance he noticed a tall man, with tanned skin and charming eyes. He looked like Porchay, so he was clearly a member of his family.

" OI ! Shit... Who ??? Fuck."

The car was heading home, so Moon ran to the bathroom once again, slammed the door, grabbed the little one who was starting to drown and he rubbed her little body with a towel with so much force that pink marks started to appears. Poor Aurora's body was completely red when Moon stopped, and she began to cough violently, her eyes puffy with tears.

Moon grabbed a big fleece pajamas for baby, despite the pleasant warmth of the house, he put the clothes on the child quickly and he passed a wipe on the nose full of snot of the little one, not without grumbling :

" This is disgusting, fuck you..."

Aurora was shivering with cold, her head leaning heavily on one side, as if she wanted to sleep, but despite everything she tried to bite Moon again and he wanted to slap her so bad but the noise of the door stopped him. The guy was here and he heard him :

"OIIII ? Is there anyone there???? Porchay???"

Moon, grabbed the little girl and he went down to the living room to face the man, he looked at him in surprise and cleared his throat:

"Uh...Hello, I'm Khun Sun. The new neighbor, Nong Porchay asked me a small favor, he is coming back in a few minutes, how can I help you ?"

Porsche glared at the man, he seemed of a suspicious nature, even more so when he suddenly noticed the strange behavior of his daughter and the latter cried with relief when she finally saw her papa. She was never acting this way, so Porsche tensed up.

"What a big sorrow, there there, my sweat little baby... Don't cry, huush..." Moon pretended to rock her with an irritating sweetness.

"I'll take her, thank you." Porsche took Aurora back in his arms and hugged her, and the little one immediately nestled in his neck, still trembling. "What does she have ? Why is she acting like this ?" hissed Porsche bitterly.

Moon scratched the back of his head, before frowning and clearing his throat, giving his best performance :

"Well, I'm a doctor for children and you see, Porchay told me that she had a toothache. It's pretty common for babies... They will feel bad and irritate when they are hurting so much. I think that she has a fever so I gave her a bath... You should keep her warm and make her drink a lot, it'll be fine, we've all been there, and this little kitten is strong! Right, sweetie ? You are such a good girl, Doc Sun is proud of you. "

Porsche sighed, his gaze on Aurora was filled with concern and Moon shivered in disgust, he pushed up his fake glasses before crossing his arms:

"Excuse me, I did not dare to ask because Aurora seems to be ok, but who are you...?"

"Porsche, Porchay's brother. This is my home, I'm taking Aurora with, thanks for coming to keep her. We won't need your service anymore, we already have a someone to take care of us.'' Porsche kissed the head of the baby. "Come on, my princess, we are going to see P'Top."

Porsche pulled out his keys and he shifted slightly, his gaze still icy on Moon. Moon nodded, pursing his lips and he left. It was so humiliating.
