Love and Loyalty COMPLETED (Love in the Air / Kinnporsche/Tharntype)

Chapter 61

"Ple... give me Mark's phone number, now" this was what Ple heard after she picked up, not a greeting nor anything else, just a simple command. She could clearly recognize Payu's voice, but the whole attitude shown by his tone was something simply unheard from him. She knew it was him because he was calling from his phone, but that resolute and almost scary voice couldn't belong to him, no...

"Payu? Are you ok?"

"Give me his phone number..." Payu repeated. This time he sounded differently, more like he was begging her to give him what he wanted. She was getting more and more scared by the second and so she thought it was the best decision to just give him what he wanted.

"I sent you a message with his number, what are you going to do?" Ple posed that question to an empty phone, since after Payu saw the notification with the number appearing on the screen of his phone, he simply hung up without even bothering explaining anything to Ple.

What was the meaning of being polite to people after all, his whole world was crumbling piece by piece as the realization that he had taken Rain for granted just like Som did with him was making him feel worse and worse. He was going to help Som, that's why he messed everything up after all... just because he couldn't handle the feeling of guilt... well, it was crystal clear that he was going to feel guilty anyway.

"Who's there?"

"Hello Mark..."

"Oh... Payu, I didn't expect you to call, if you're still mad because I..." Mark said with a slightly worried tone, but he stopped right after Payu simply interrupted him by saying no. Mark waited for Payu to continue, and he remained silent even if it took Payu a whole minute to gather the energy necessary to pose a question.

"Do you still like Som?"

"Why are you..."

"Just answer the fucking question... yes or no?" Payu asked evidently annoyed, although the rasp sound of his voice seemed like every word that came out of his mouth was pronounced at a very painful price.

"Yes..."

"Very good... listen carefully..." and then Payu proceeded to inform him of all the things Ple told him. When he was finished, he added: "Mark... if what Ple said is true... and I suspect it is true, since I've met Stop long time ago... please... help Som"

"I will do it..." Mark replied.

"Thank you..." Payu hung up the phone and put it on the floor, next to Rain's letter. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes while he leant his head against the wall. It wouldn't take long for Mark to get to Som, so now he could consider his debt to Som as paid. There was another much more important matter now: Rain.

"Don't worry, dad will protect you..." Type whispered as he kissed his son's forehead before going to sleep.
