After the proposal, Dunk and I went back to the hotel. We need to prepare the wedding plans and also pack our things because after our wedding, we are moving into our new house.
Dunk went out a few hours ago because the airline manager needed him. Nathan, Pondphuwin, and I are the only ones left here.
. "Daddy, why isn't Papa here? He's been outside for quite a while now," Nathan asked me.
"He's busy with work in the airlines, baby," I said, while caressing his cheek.
"I'm just worried, Daddy! I feel like something's going to happen," Nathan said. When he said that, I immediately looked at Pond and Phuwin. Why was Nathan acting like this all of a sudden?
"Why, baby? Why did you say that?" I asked. Nathan didn't answer me, but he was on the verge of crying.
"Stop thinking, son. Papa is safe; he's just busy working," I hugged Nathan . I don't know what's happening to him, why he's thinking like that.
"Nathan, stop thinking negative things, okay? Papa is fine, don't think too much. Just go to your room, take a bath, and then go to sleep early. I promise I'll call your papa later, okay?" I said to him.
Okay, Papa, goodnight!! Nathan kissed me and walked to his room.
After Nathan left, I asked Pond and Phuwin, "Hey buddy! Is there something wrong? He was okay when I left him in your condo, why is he acting like this?" I asked them.
"Do you remember when Dunk and Angelique had a fight in your condo? Do you remember how shocked you were when you saw Angelique on the floor!?" Phuwin said.
"Yes, why? Is there any problem?" I asked, confused.
"After you left, when you went to see Dunk before your proposal, Nathan asked me for a favor."
"What favor?" I asked, worriedly.
Flashback
Phuwin's POV
Archen had already left, but Nathan asked me for a favor. I don't know why, but he seems very serious right now.
"What favor do you want, Nathan?" I asked him.
"Uncle Phuwin, can you gather some proper information about the person who underwent a heart transplant?" Nathan asked, his tone serious.
"Huh? Why? Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?" I asked, confused.
"Daddy Archen told me that Tita Angelique underwent heart surgery," Nathan said. "He said he needs to take care of Tita Angelique too." But I'm not satisfied with his answer. I think something is going on.
"Nathan, can you tell me what's on your mind? I know there is something bothering you, baby. What is it? You can tell me and Uncle Pond," I asked him.
After I said that, Nathan's face became worried. Pond carried him and put him on his lap.
"Nathan, if something is bothering you, you can tell us. Don't hesitate, we are here and willing to listen," Pond tried to convince him.
Nathan didn't speak for a few minutes; he just stared at us. I know he wants to say something, but he's afraid.
I hold Nathan's hands and look into his eyes, making sure that he will feel that we are here for him.
"Uncle Pond, Uncle Phuwin, I'm scared," Nathan said, his voice trembling.
"Why are you scared? What happened?" Pond asked, concern evident in his voice.
"I'm scared that Papa and Daddy will be gone," Nathan replied, his eyes welling up with tears.
"Why do you think that, baby? Your Daddy and Papa are okay. They just need some time and space to talk about everything," Phuwin reassured him, his voice gentle and comforting.
"It's not like that, Uncle Phuwin," Nathan said. When he said that, I felt curious about what he meant.
"Why, Nathan? What do you mean?" I asked, feeling totally confused.
"Daddy Archen told me about Tita Angelique's condition and the dos and don'ts for her. Remember when you and Papa were on vacation when Daddy went there late in the evening. Uncle Pond and I were the ones who left with her," Nathan paused, unsure of what to say next.
"Yes, baby, I remember. What happened?" I asked him again.
"When Uncle Pond was busy talking to you that night, I went to Papa's room to get some things, and I saw Tita Angelique inside searching for something. She didn't see me, but I saw her take something from Papa's drawer," Nathan's eyes were full of worry.
"What did she get from your Papa's drawer? Did you see it?"
"Yes, Uncle Phuwin! It's Papa's medicine. But I don't know which medicine it is," Nathan said, confused.
"And one more thing!" Nathan continued to speak.
I saw her drinking alcoholic beverages at Daddy's wine bar that night. If I'm not mistaken, I've searched for some do's and don'ts about heart surgery patients because of Papa, and alcohol is bad for someone who has undergone a heart operation. And I also saw her smoking." Nathan's confession shocked Pond and me.
"Are you sure about what you saw, baby?"
"Yes, Uncle Phuwin! I'm not lying!" Nathan said, afraid that we would not trust him.
"Don't worry, baby. I trust you, okay?" I said while caressing his hands. I don't know why Nathan encountered this kind of problem. He's too young to handle these kinds of things.
"And Uncle Pond..." Nathan went down onto Pond's lap and faced him.
"What is it, baby?" Pond asked him.
Nathan took out some plastic from his pocket and handed it to Pond.
"Uncle Pond, can you check this medicine for me?" Nathan handed the plastic with medicine to Pond.
"Why, baby? Where did you get this?" Pond asked, looking confused.
"Just check it, Uncle Pond. After you find out about this medicine, tell Daddy Archen that Tita Angelique tried to put it in Papa's food and drinks." I'm glad I saw her. I don't know what it's for, but when I accidentally saw her, I immediately changed Papa's food and drinks without her noticing.
Pond and I are shocked by what we heard. Is it real? I can't imagine Angelique doing things like that. That bitch! She's going too far to do things like this. I understand her attitude towards Dunk, but this time is not an exception.
" When Papa and Tita Angelique had a fight and Papa decided to leave Daddy's condo, I never hesitated to leave because I know Tita Angelique can't harm Papa anymore. I don't want her to be near Papa."
Nathan is a mature kid. He handles these kinds of things carefully.
"I'm going to sleep, uncles. I want both of you to help me. I just don't want my parents to suffer again. I can't imagine myself without them," Nathan's eyes are full of sadness and worry.
"Don't worry, baby! We will help you," I smiled at him sweetly.
End of flashback."
