'Thank you so much for coming. Please have a sit. Tay, my boy, how are you? Thanks for accompanying Mint to the hospital yesterday. We were very busy dealing with some business issues.' Uncle was welcoming us enthusiastically.
Huh! Yesterday you were busy yelling at New! Don't try and act so nice and gentlemanly. I already saw your true colour.
'It was nothing.' I mumbled.
'Thank you for always be there for my daughter. Now I understand why she is head over heels for you. Ha ha.' Uncle laughed heartily.
What a joke! All of these are your schemes.
Thada was sitting next to me. He lightly tapped on my knee and said in a hushed tone,
'Why are you upset? Did something happen?'
I nodded my head slightly. I still could not make time to tell Thada the whole story. Not about New's childhood and not about Khemwaen's malicious nature.
'Dinner is served.' Aunt Sophie announced politely.
I don't want to be here. I want to meet New. Should I make a plan and ditch this dinner? But how?
'Where is Waii?' I was immersed in my thoughts when Pa asked.
'Ah! Waii went to Japan this morning.'
Huh! Then.....
I looked at Aunt Sophie who was busy placing the plates.
I know it's late but still I dialled New's number.
It's switched off.
I quickly got up and asked Aunt Sophie,
'I need to use the restroom. Can you please show me the way?'
'Sure Khun Tay, please come with me.'
When we were outside the room I quickly asked in a low voice,
'Where is New?'
'Ah! New went to Japan with The young master. They'll come back on sunday.'
'Oh.'
So ultimately you went to Japan with your Hiya! Why couldn't you refuse him! I don't want you to be alone with him.
Three days! You will be with P Waii for three fucking days! Alone!
I want to punch a hole in the wall.
..............................
'Japan? With P Waii? How lucky! And here's my bro! Yesterday I asked him to lend me his power Bank but he straightly refused. Why my brother is an asshole and New's brother is an angel?' Ton was lamenting while we were drinking coffee at the cafe near June's house.
Just shut up! Angel my foot! He is a pervert!
'So true. My little brother only comes to me when he needs money.' June sighed.
'Not everyone is like that though. Beside P Waii, P Thada is also very cool. He loves Tay very much.' Ton added.
Huh! P Waii and Thada! They are not in the same league. My brother is just my brother but P Waii is trying to be New's lover. Adopted or not, it's out of the question.
'Oi! Stop scowling so hard. Why are you so angry today?' Ton asked.
'My parents are pressuring me to continue the relationship with Mint.'
'Oh.' June understood immediately.
'They are right Tay. Mint needs your support.' Ton added.
'But I don't want to continue this relationship. I don't love her. Now that I think of, I have never loved her. It was just my own mistake that I even liked her at that time.' I slapped the table hard.
