A Lost Cause

Season Pilot: Wanarat's first day

🐭War's POV

AUGUST 29 1998

What will Dad and Mom give me for my 8th birthday? 🤔 Well last year, we went skiing and for the first time, I got to go to CERN to see antihydrogen. I've always been facinated by the universe. Anything and everything about it.

'Mooommmm, what should we do for my birthday this year? It's in a few months ☺️', I asked mom, fluttering my eyes. I observed that people really can't say no to me when I do that.

'Nara. It's a surprise.' Mom booped my nose 'But, hmmm, if you could choose. What would you want to do?' Mom added, while kneeling in front of me. Brushing my hair, I've always had roudy hair. Same with dad. Mom always say that I should brush my hair. Don't really want to though.

'Hey little mousey.' Dad said, while ruffling my hair that mom just combed. 'Told you, your birthday is an achievement for mom. She carried you in her belly for 9 months, went through 36hrs of labor before bringing you into this world. Mom will decide where will your birthday be. Right?'

Dad sat on the grass beside mom while I sat on the bench. He looked adoringly to mom. All my life, as far as i can remember, dad always look at mom like this. I could feel their love and respect for each other .

Never really saw them fight, they bicker and play with each other. But they always have this connection, I don't see in my friends parents.

I got jealous so I joined in and hugged them both with each of my arms around their necks.

'Yeah, I knooow Dad. And Mom always picks the bestest places to go' I said, while kissing mom in the cheeks.

'I love you Mom' i added. 'I'll marry someone like you when I grow up.' That made both of my parents laugh out loud. Yes, right now, I know what a marriage is, how it works and mom and dad always anwers my questions honestly.

😬AUTHOR's POV😬

War lived in a pretty chill household. Being considered, an orphan, no body really had the heart to pressure him in school.

He lived with the love of his grandad and uncle. He studied in a private school, despite having his cousins homeschool, at 10yrs old, he begged not to be homeschooled any more, to be transfered to a public school.

His grand dad was not having it so he put War in a private school. He then requested if he could be treated as a normal kid. Just like his mom's wishes. War's father came from humble beginnings. Since he is using his father's surname, he could still go about and live a normal life in school right? No one bothers to see anyone's mother's maiden name.

War is an extremely gifted kid, a member of MENSA. Having a eidetic memory, he still to this day remember that faithful day. When both of his parents were shot by a group of robbers trying to rob a convenient store that they were going to.

All of the shooters were caught and are now in prison. Having killed both of his parents and 8 more people on the store. He is the only one who survived that shooting.

War always graduated top of his class up to college. Since he was 4, he could read and write, and play chess really well. Since his mom's family is extremely wealthy, he was given all the support he could get when he is pursuing any of his 'hobbies'.

That is what war's dad call it. His hobbies. As a kid, when war is interested in anything, it could take him about 3 months to focus on it and master it. That is how fast he learns.

At age 5, his parents took him to luxemberg to take a test administered by Mensa evaluation, and he got in. Their family have business in Luxemberg and holds residence in the country. So they stay there if they ever go on their european trips.
