If I loved you

Together is our favourite place to be

'This is ridiculous! Outrageous!'

'I am sorry.'

'I gave you half an hour and you stayed there half the night! Here I was dying from anxiety and there you were spying on them! Do you know how many times I went up there to see if they've already killed you or not. Luke got suspicious and asked so many questions......I didn't know how to answer! Now even Mr New wants to meet me!'

Huh? Then I remembered the conversation........

"Where is he?"

"I couldn't find him anywhere. His phone is also switched off."

"Did he say anything to anybody? What was he doing here? It's strange for him to come all the way up here....."

"I am looking into that matter."

So New and Luke were talking about him!

But I couldn't think of anything right now, my mind is occupied with New and his mental break down. After they left for the hospital I don't know how or when I got down here, I was in a daze. Mr Narawin was still awake and waiting for me on the couch in the living room, he let me in and gave me some water. After a long time I partly recovered from the shock.

'I am sorry.' I know how anxious he was because of my one mistake. He told me that he would give me a call after half an hour but in my haste I put the phone on silent mode. Not only him, Pa also called me many times, Ann also called me but I missed their calls.

'Were you able to talk to him or not?'

'I didn't get the chance.'

'Have you been hiding there all this time?'

'Yeah.'

'Those guards were talking among themselves that he had a huge fight with his mother. He even threw all the food on the ground. Did you see it? Is it true?'

Oh so that's how words spread around that he and his mother were not on good terms. I was there the whole time, I saw with my own eyes that their relationship is not that bad. It's just a bit less warm than a normal mother son relationship but still way better than some others out there.

'I am sorry for making you anxious and again thank you very much for your help. I'll return this favour someday.' I avoided the subject.

'Ah forget about it. Just don't get into trouble again.'

'Yeah. Then I take your leave now.. see you later.'

'See you later, take care.'
........................................................

It was very late at night, with great difficulty, I got a taxi and started on my way home. I was about to message Pa when my phone rang.

Pa's calling.

'Hello.' I answered timidly, knowing very well that Pa is going to yell at me.

'Where the hell are you? Didn't you say that you will go straight home? Then why aren't you there! you weren't answering my call either... what's going on?'

'Pa....I went to see the orphanage.... I lost track of time.'

This one sentence saved me from Pa's anger.

'Where are you right now?' His voice was normal this time.

'In a taxi. I am going home.'

'Come to the hospital.'

'Is Ma alright?'

'She is fine but I need to go back to bring some documents. I need you to stay with her for the time being.'
