EP 22 How they met Apo

Dunk was dreaming again. They had found Phuwin safely in the corner not far from them. Dunk and Phuwin had hugged each other tightly. Both of them were glad that the other was safe. Dunk had introduced Dew to him. They had tried to run as far as their little feet could carry them, despite Dunk limping with the sprained ankle.

They may have escaped those men but they were thrusted out into the big wide world that they knew nothing about. They had no one and they had no money. The three of them were eyeing hungrily at the people eating at the roadside stall. They haven't eaten for days. Dunk saw an opening as the man had left a bag of bread at the corner of the table. He was busy talking with another man it seemed far enough that he wouldn't notice if he were to grab it. He was the smallest among the three of them, so he had quietly ran over before Phuwin and Dew could stop him. He was fast despite his sprained ankle. He was highly motivated at this point to notice the pain. He tried to make himself as small as possible. His tiny hands grabbed the handle of the bag. Just as the bag dropped into his hand, he felt a big hand grabbing his wrist. His eyes widen. 

"Look what I found." He smiled as he looked at Dunk's shocked face. He was a dirty and scrawny looking kid but he was cute. Phuwin and Dew had rushed out from their hiding place, demanding him to let Dunk go. He was amused.

That was how they met Apo. Dew had eventually left them as he reunited with his family. Dew had hugged Dunk promising him that he wasn't leaving him since they were attending the same school. Both Phuwin and Dunk had stayed with Apo. They had no memories apart from being with those men. They didn't know who their parents were. It was all a blank to them, so Apo had took them in like his sons. He didn't dare to adopt them on paper. It was a dangerous life that he led. He was satisfied with them calling him uncle. 

He had reunited with Mile later down the road. When it was too dangerous for him to stay, he had left to Italy with Mile. He had hoped that Dunk and Phuwin would be safer without him. He had hugged and kissed them goodbye. He was inconsolable the first few weeks but Mile had seen him through it. It seemed that the illusion of safety was now broken. They had to come back when Dunk and Phuwin's past didn't want to stay in the past.
