'I....yes....I've told them about him.....I mean....I told them that he is your son.'
ADOPTED!! But couldn't say that out loud.
'Mr. Khemwaen.....' Ma and Pa were embarrassed and a bit shocked.
'It's alright. We had no intention to hide it from the world but New is a very stubborn boy. He was adamant and we were helpless. After all we abandoned him in the first place. He was just a child back then, and couldn't understand our dilemma...' Mrs. Khemwaen started to shed tears.
What the fuck!! What are they up to!!
'Please, Mrs. Khemwaen.... don't get upset. I am sure he will forgive you. He will understand one day.' Ma went to sit next to her.
Don't listen to her! She is a great actor! God! Just go and open a drama company already! I am sure you all will get famous in no time!
'We are waiting for that day.' Mr Khemwaen gave out a sad smile.
'Mom, aunty is right. Please don't cry.' Mint joined the act.
'Madam, Sir, Khun Thada is here.
Oh thank god!
'Hello uncle, aunty..' He was hesitating near the door after seeing the situation inside.
'Ah! Thada... please come in.' Uncle personally invited him inside.
'Where were you! I called you so many times!' I complained the moment he sat beside me.
'I was with a friend.'
'The whole day? What kind of friend?' I was annoyed and curious.
He didn't answer.
'I don't know how to handle him. He is getting more and more uncomfortable. He's already an introvert but now a days he doesn't even talk to us. He doesn't have a friend...' Mrs Khemwaen still talking nonsense.
'They are talking about New.' I whispered to Thada.
'Hm.' He was listening seriously.
'That's not true you know. What they are saying....' I whispered.
'Oh.' He was not looking at me.
'Are you alright?' Why is he not paying me attention!
'Yeah.'
Thada is acting weird. His usual calm has long gone.
'Do you want us to talk to New? I mean we can try....' Ma was rubbing her back.
'Will you do that! It'll really be a big help....he doesn't listen to me.....but...' Mrs Khemwaen suddenly brighten up.
What! No!
'Darling .....He is a big boy. I don't think it would be right to......' Pa was hesitating.
'I just want to meet him.' Ma wasn't ready to listen.
Don't pressurize New. They are plotting something huge this time!
'Sure sure. Let me introduce him to you.'
Mr Khemwaen called a servant and asked him to fetch New.
Huh! Then I am going to meet him too. Should I be happy or anxious!
After about fifteen minutes later, I saw him with that servent. He was wearing a cute tshirt and a pair of track pants. A warmness started to spread over my chest.
I remembered that sweet kiss.
He didn't pay me any attention. That's quite alright. Afterall he doesn't want to let them know about our friendship.
