  ____________________________________

Forth and Lam were standing outside the headmaster's office with his back on the wall, listening to a soft angelic voice. The voice was so smooth, and soft that one wouldn't be able to ignore but Forth was frowning listening to the voice while Lam just stood there listening.

“I know you are doing your job but all I asked is a little more time. Every family are not liked your family who can do anything without any worries about many many families pay their children's tuition fees by working.” it's a man around the early twentieth but Forth and Lam didn't see his face yet.

“Then what is your suggestion?” they heard the headmaster and one could easily detect the venom in the voice.

“I am not suggesting anything. I just want to extend the deadline for the tuition fees.”

With that, the man and the headmaster started quarrelling until their quarrel repeated. During that time Forth and Lam were exhausted from standing so they went to sit on the bench in front of the headmaster's office with their back to the door. So Forth who was waiting to see the face of the man was quick to stand on his feet when the door suddenly opened and closed with a loud banged.

But at that time a young man was also quick to stand in front of Forth blocking the sight of the man,

“P’Forth, there are many things to do and you are here sitting. I've so much work to do. Come on already quickly...” and started pushing in the opposite direction.

Forth tried to look at the man but the younger man was so skilful to block but he didn't miss the chain on the man's wrist. With a final sigh Forth shouted at the young man when the man was out of sight,

“MING!! You want to die?”

Ming was startled and quickly hid behind Lam, “P’Lam, tell this old man there are many works.” he run away after showing Forth his tongue.

“Forth, Ming is right. We better go. There is so much work for today.” Lam said calmly.

With a frustrated sigh, Forth rubbed his face with both hands and walked away with a nod. Lam just smile slightly and followed the latter quietly.

As soon as Ming saw the two coming towards him he quickly jumped on the passenger seat and said to the driver,

“P’Park you need to help me from P’Forth.”

Park laughed, “What did you do this time?”

“What did you do this time? Really P’Park?” the younger said beating his crest, “I just went to call him but he shouted at me. That angry bird.” he mumbled angrily.

At that time Forth and Lam also get into the car, Ming curious turns to look at Forth but got startled and turned away when he saw the elder glaring at him.

Park laughed softly and said, “Where to first, Sir?”

“Bank first,” Lam answered. Lam is Forth’s cousin and almost all his work of him was done by him.

“To home, P’Lam .” Forth said in his usual voice. The three looked at each other.

“Okay...”

As soon as they got home, Forth went inside his room and without changing his clothes he jumped on his bed. he tried to sleep but the earlier man’s words again ring in his head. He sat up irritatedly and started shouting at his dogs who jumped on his bed.
