All I Need Is Love (Macau & Porschay)

Chapter 7

Porschay

I woke up pretty late this morning. When Krit came to my room, I was still asleep. I got ready so fast that, it made me dizzy. By the time I got ready, we had no time to have breakfast. I promised Krit to buy him lunch as an apology.

"Krit, you called me yesterday about something. What was it?" I asked as we head towards canteen.

"Oh, my friend is coming back from London and I wanted to ask you to come along with me to receive him from airport."

"Ok. I will come with you."

"Thanks"

Krit said he haven't explored the college properly. So, we took longer route to canteen. We were walking by the empty area of the campus. I heard a rumor that there is a ghost in this part of college and no one dare to come here. I don't believe in ghost unlike my brother. He tried to hide this fact from me, but we lived together since we were born. I have heard his high-pitched girly screams multiple times.

As we were crossing a building, we heard some noises coming from the back side. Krit and I looked at each other.

"Did you hear that?" I asked.

"Yes." Krit said.

"Let's go and check."

He nodded.

The fear was visible on our faces, but our curiosity gave us strength. He held my hand tightly and walked behind me.

We saw bunch of freshers fighting. They were kicking and punching each other.

In middle of this chaos, my eye fell on a guy. He was fighting effortlessly. He was better than everyone. I tried to catch a glimpse of his face, but his back was facing me.

A guy behind him picked up a wood stick and ran to hit him from behind. I couldn't just watch and stand still. I ran to stop him. I caught the wooden stick from behind.

The guy with his back facing us turned around. I looked at him with wide eyes.

Why is it always you Macau?

Macau punched the guy in stomach. He let go of the stick and fell on the ground clutching his stomach. He was groaning in pain. I freeze on the spot with the wooden stick in my hand. Macau had confusion on his face. He took the stick out of my hand and throw it away.

"What are you doing here?" He said raising his voice.

"I—I heard l-loud noises. S-so, I came to check." I Stuttered.

I noticed another guy came from behind at Macau. I pushed him out of the way and that guy's fist came in contact with my face. I fell on the ground due to impact.

"Chay!!!" Both Macau and Krit screamed at the same time.

Macau charged at the guy and got on top of him pounding on his face repeatedly. He looked vicious with menacing expression on his face. Macau's inner beast was unleashed and it was being controlled by his anger. The blood was spurting out of that guy's mouth. His eyes were rolling back slowly losing his consciousness. I felt bad for him. Krit came to help me as I tried to get up.

"Chay, are you ok?" He asked worried.

"I am ok." I said without taking my eyes off of Macau.

"MACAU STOP!! LET HIM GO!!!" I screamed to stop him ignoring the pain in my jaw and bleeding lip.

I heard guards run in our direction us blowing whistle. I went towards Macau and caught his hand in mid air.

"MACAU PLEASE STOP!! GUARDS ARE HERE. LET'S GO!!!" I pleaded.

He got up and held my hand as we ran out of there. I turned to look at Krit. He was helping Macau's friends. One of them couldn't walk properly let alone run due to his leg injury.

We reached parking lot.

"Chay, I think we need to take him to the hospital." Krit said being crushed under the weight of injured guy. Even though Macau's another tall friend was helping them.

"Yes, Let's go to nearby hospital." I said taking out my car keys.

"Let me drive." Macau said reaching for keys.

"No, you are not. You are hurt." I said clutching them.

"There are few scratches on me. But you are the one who got punched in the face."

"But.."

"Oye!!!.... I don't care who drives us. But for god's sake take me to hospital. My leg hurts so bad." The injured guy cried.

"Chay, please have mercy on me. He is heavy." Krit said adjusting guy's arm around him.

"Hey!!! Are you calling me fat?"

"No, I am calling you dead weight."

The guy Gasped and the tall guy Chuckled.

"Ok fine." I gave up and handed car keys to Macau.

He drove us to hospital while Krit and injured guy kept bickering in the back seat.

-

I hissed in pain as nurse cleaned my wound. The area around my mouth was swollen, Macau was standing behind nurse staring intensely at me. It was making me nervous.

"I cleaned and applied medicine on wound. This is the prescription for you."

"Thank you"

"You are next. Please take a seat." Nurse said referring to Macau.

"No. I am alright."

"Macau get your wound checked. Otherwise, it might get infected" I said.

"I said no."

Macau was being stubborn. I think he felt uncomfortable someone else touching him.

"P is it ok, if I help him?" I asked politely.

"Sure." She handed me the first aid box and walked out of the room.

I waited for Macau to sit down. He finally gave up and move to sit next to me. I started to clean his knuckles. They were busted and swollen.

"Chay, it was really stupid of you to get involved in fight."

I stopped to look at him.

"And you think, you are some kind of genius?"

"I know how to fight. I can defend myself. What about you?"

I kept quiet and resumed cleaning his knuckles. Because what he said was true. I have no fighting skills.

"Why—why did you helped me?" He asked.

"Because we are family. Even though we are divided into two parts. We are connected in a way. And I care about you just like I care about main family members."

I was about to apply medicine on his knuckles, he snatched his hand away.

"But I don't consider a person from main family as my family. They never cared about us. They killed my father and hurt my brother. He ended up in hospital for several days. Do you even know how nerve-racking it was for me to wait for my brother to wake up from a coma. I didn't even know if he was going to wake up at all.... Because of them my life became miserable. I hate them. I hate them all." He said with cold expression and got up to leave.

"Does that mean you hate me as well?" I asked with our back facing each other. He didn't say anything and left. His silence answered my question. It made me sad.

The things he said were right. Because of family dispute he lost too much. I heard from P' Pol about them. Macau and his father were never close, but in the end, he was still their father. Losing parent is painful.

He didn't even let me apply medicine. I throw the cotton swabs in bust bin and went to find Krit. He said Macau and his friends left.

Krit and I drove back to dorm. But before that I stopped by a pharmacy to buy some first aid and medicine for Macau. I asked Krit to go ahead and stopped on Macau's floor. I think, he is not back yet. I hung the bag on door knob and went up in my room.
