A Beam on the Spiderweb

Chapter 5 : Fainted

As soon as Beam reached home, he saw his brother washing the fish while his mother was watching with a smile.

“Where did you get them?” Beam asked, pointing his finger.

“I know you will sell all of the fish so I got some in my pocket,” Pha said and laughed when he saw his brother’s bitter face. Pecking his tongue, he annoyed his brother.

“Just go, sleep a little more. I'll make lunch.”

“It’s okay. I don't need more sleep.” Phana said.

“Then I'll take a bath and make tea for Mom and you to have medicine. You go get some biscuits from uncle Mu. There was 100 note under my pillow. And no spending any extra penny!” Beam threatened Pha with his first finger.

“Sticky...”

As Forth and his men entered the living room, they saw Wayo sitting there. With a smile Forth greeted him and sat across him.

“I hope you don't wait too long.”

“Oh no...”

“Ming, go and make coffee for Wayo.” Forth said to annoy his brother. He loved annoying Ming.

With a huff, Ming turns to the kitchen. Mumbling on his way, “How great! Doesn't that man have work to do? I mean it's just 6:30 in the morning. In this weather too!”

“Ming, you idiot. Quite for a minute, will you!” Lam scolded him afraid that Forth would scold him if he heard.

“So what brought you here?” Forth asked, he heard Ming as the latter was behind him before going to the kitchen. He just shook his head, his little brother was crazy.

“My birthday is on this coming Friday, I come to invite you. And come earlier this time.”

At that time Ming entered and give Wayo the coffee and Forth and Lam too. Glaring at Wayo hard, he returned to his room after seeing Forth glared at him.

“Don’t worry. I'll come early.” Forth responded as he take out his phone and called the manager of his jewellery store, “Good morning, Mr K.”

“...”

“I want the latest product and highest price gold chain.”

“...”

“Okay.” and cut the call.

“Gold chain?” Wayo asked suppressing his anger, thinking that Forth was about to give a gold chain to someone.

“For your birthday.”

With a happy laugh, Wayo said, “You do know that gifts are given in surprise, right?”

“I know.” he also laughs and drinks his coffee. After talking for a while Wayo also left.

Forth entered his room and walked toward the balcony, the rain was still not stopped. He sat on an armchair and looked at the cloudy sky with a lot of thought about managing his business, and fighting, his father. With a sigh, he turned around and saw the flowerpot that Beam give him as a gift was flowering a beautiful white flower in every branch of every plant.

Seeing the flower Forth has goosebumps, looking at the flowers his heart seemed to get cooler. Then he started to remember the one who make the flowerpot. The sassiness, his talking, ideology make him laugh a little,

“Now I am sure you are the one who scolded the headmaster. I mean no one would talk like that other than you.” he mumbled remembering the earlier encounter, “You are extraordinary... No, no it's unique... No, no...” he smiled at his thoughts.
