WEGATH ( VegasPete )

Tankhunn

Two days ago, Vegas received a call from the foster center requesting him to visit for some questionnaires and some paperwork. After some calls from Kinn, it became easier for Vegas to select any child he wanted otherwise he had to choose from kids eligible for adoption based on different criteria, everything from now on is just formalities.

Tankhunn was very excited and involved with the process, he would call Vegas and ask for updates, so when the center called, Vegas asked tankhunn to accompany him which he gladly agreed.

Both Vegas and Tankhunn were now sitting inside the foster Center manager's office. Vegas submitted some papers and was asked a few questions..... 

What made you choose adoption?

What kind of job do you have?

What kind of childcare plans have you prepared? 

Is your family supportive?

How is your relationship with your own family?

What was your childhood like?

And that question made Vegas thinking. What kind of childhood did he had? He was living in one of the biggest mansions, but he was trapped there, he was trapped in the compound, trapped under expectations. His childhood wasn't that great if he looks back, yes, he was spoiled with every possible materialistic thing but love, he grew up to be a narcissist and self-centered boy with no regard for others, but he was also self-aware of all these things for some extent and that was the reason he tried to give Macau the best ever normal life possible and he did a good job at that.

The question didn't only made Vegas thinking, what Tankhunn can remember about his childhood was a happy family to the outer world, it was fine between the brothers, but they have to beat their cousins no matter what and be wary of them because they can anytime snatch everything away from them, what was rightfully theirs. These things were etched in their minds by their parents.

Tankhunn never had much problems from Vegas, there was bit of rivalry between Kinn and Vegas, other than that Vegas had many problems of his own, he was the egoistic, problematic and a playboy, The evil Therapanyakun.

Vegas was just another person after he met Pete, Tankhunn thought of Pete as a blessing. All the years of scolding and beating Vegas had to go through, the heat of his father's anger and disappointments. All the unjust that the little boy Vegas had to go through which mend him into the bad person he was to everyone around him, that boy melted away and transformed into a completely different person with the delicate warmth that Pete brought with himself.

"It's her in the blue dress phi."

Tankhunn came out of his thoughts by Vegas' words. After the questioning they went to meet the little girl. Vegas has met her multiple times during the process, but it was first time for Tankhunn and Tankhunn was very excited before coming here to meet the kid. But Pete occupied his mind after the question stuck to his mind. Pete wasn't a person to be easily forgotten, his warmth was not limited to one person, his kindness, his joy fullness, That pretty face and those cute dimples.

When Vegas resigned from the company and started chasing pete to the point that he joined the same unit as Pete, Tankhunn thought Vegas has unlocked a new level of craziness and he is going to completely ruin this innocent boy and then return to the company as he has made some big achievement. Tankhunn sometimes wished that the boy should just arrest Vegas and keep him behind bars and away from his victims. little did he knew that this boy would give Vegas the freedom. a freedom from his past, a freedom from his ugly childhood.

Pete was a sweetheart for Tankhunn, he will invite Pete all the time and if Pete could, he would visit. when Pete married Vegas, Tankhunn was delighted to see Vegas and Macau so happy. At that time Macau was still a boy in school and for him it was like getting another parent. Pete cared about Macau a lot, if not more then also not any less than Vegas.

"Meet Xi'an phi, isn't she beautiful."

"ah..... oh......" Tankhunn was again lost in his thoughts and now gave his full concentration to the Vegas.

Vegas sat down to come to the same level as the girl, removing strands of hair off her face and tucking them behind her ears. "Hey baby girl, how are you? I brought someone to meet you, Thats uncle Khunn" Vegas pointed towards Tankhunn.

Tankhunn sat down too, he can see Vegas was smiling genuinely, then he saw the girl who was smiling at Vegas then she saw Tankhunn and gave him a big smile flaunting her dimples.

"Vegas... Vegas................. she.... she has dimples."

"Yes, she is the cutest."

"No, that's not what I mean, I mean yes she is cute but she..................."

Vegas turned towards tankhunn when he froze mid-sentence, vegas was kind of annoyed with the sudden pause. "She what phi?"

Now Tankhunn was looking at Vegas, then looking at the girl, then at Vegas and then again looking at the little girl, repeating that multiple times.

"She looks like.............." Tankhunn pointed at Vegas, freezing mid-sentence again with his confused look, then turning towards the little girl, leaving Vegas with no idea what Tankhunn was saying.
