'I told you there was nothing wrong with their relationship! Look what you have done! One wrong decision and now we are in this pickle. What are we gonna do now?' We are sitting on the stairs near the corridor and talking in a hushed voice.
'Calm down. That Rain is way too clever. There is no chance that he and his gang will get exposed. Don't worry.' Ton said confidently.
'New is their son! Then What was he doing back there....helping a maid! And why didn't he attend the party as himself then? And why nobody knows about him?' June pondered for sometime.
'Tay? Why are you so quiet?' Finally they noticed my silence.
I didn't answer them. Right now I am feeling so guilty that my heart is hurting. Why my thoughts were so crooked! I saw what I wanted to see. Now that I think about it...........
There is nothing wrong in taking care of your younger brother! Their behaviour wasn't inappropriate in any sense! Then why I sensed something was fishy! Why my mind connected them in a wrong way!
And Mint! Why didn't she tell me that New is her brother! She wanted to introduce me to P Waii but then what about New? Why didn't she even like to mention him! Why!
'Sir? Madam wanted to ask if you people are hungry.' The man from before came to us and asked politely.
'What time is it?' I was in a daze.
'Almost 9.' Ton answered.
'How is New? Is he still unconscious?' I asked the man.
'Yes. But the doctor said second young master is going to wake up soon.'
'May I ask you something?' I suddenly think of a way to know about this bizarre situation.
'Sure sir.' He said this but his eyes are cautious.
I changed my question and instead of asking directly I asked an indirect question.
'Why didn't New attend their house warming party that day?'
'Huh? Oh!' He relaxed.
'Well, that day second young master just arrived from Chiang Rai and was very tired so Young master asked him to take some rest. That's why he wasn't present at that party.'
'Really?'
'Yes.'
'Hm.'
'Thanks. You can go now. Tell aunty we will eat later.' I dismissed him.
'He was lying.' June was listening carefully.
'I think so too.'
'But why?'
'I don't know.'
Suddenly that man came back and said,
'Young master is here.'
Now is the main battle! We have to be very convincing and confident in our behaviour in front of him. A momentary lapse will cause disaster.
'Let's go.' We dusted our pants and walked towards the private room New was in.
The man respectfully stopped near the glass door and let us enter the hall area. No one was there. Maybe they are all in New's room.
'Knock first..' Ton was about to enter when I stopped him.
But he already opened the door slightly and we heard P Waii's hard voice,
'Why are you two here? Suddenly you became good parents? Suddenly you are interested in his well being?'
