5 Years Later

Vacation part 2

Third person POV

Got you!!!!!

I have searched for my sister for two years now. At first I thought she was just going through the rebellion stage but after she introduced me to her friend Peem, I gave her a little bit more freedom. Peem seems like a nice guy so I was at ease.

My parents are strict coming from a Thai background so they sent me to America to keep an eye on my baby sister. They had issues when they had me so it was a happy surprise when they had another child five years later after I was born.

Melanie has always been spoilt by everyone and I am guilty of that too. She started hanging with the wrong crowd when she turned sixteen, partying and drinking so I was happy when she met Peem and settled down. He was a good influence on her life.

Our lives turned upside down when she told us she was pregnant. Our parents were upset and disowned her and I was the only one happy for her. She told me Peem got her pregnant after a drinking session with their friends celebrating her promotion at work. I was very surprised because I thought they were just friends. Peem didn't seem to show affection a lover should towards her so I genuinely thought they were just close friends.

She moved out of the apartment we stayed in because our parents were paying for it. Then cut all contact with us.

A year later I got a call from Peem. He started updating me about Melanie and showed me photos of Hana. I was very excited and wanted to meet them but she refused. She felt hurt because I didn't do enough to convince my parents to reconcile. I felt guilty but offered financial support should they need it.

Peem continued to give me updates until six months on when I learned that the child had severe medical condition with complications and needed an obscene amount of money to help with medical expenses. I did everything I can to provide the money. After that I never heard from them again. I went to where they work and found out that they both resigned and no one has seen them since. After investigating, I found that Peem came back to Thailand but because we never spoke about his personal life, I didn't know how to start the search.

A month ago I finally was able to pin point him. I saw his name pop up in one of the hospital records as an emergency contact for Phum. I have been tracking down all hospitals in case my sister, Hana or Peems name show up.

I was following his movements since and made sure I had people watching him from a far.  He is not going to escape me again this time. I will find answers and I will make sure I take my sister and her daughter back, one way or another.

We followed him to an island here in the Philippines. After finding their cottage, we snuck in waiting for them to come back from their daily walk.

I saw Phum come in first so my men pointed a gun towards him and signal him to keep quiet and sit down.

Peem came in next looking alarmed.

"Surprise so see me Peem?"

He was like a doe eyed deer caught in the headlights.

Peem

Two days have passed since we landed on the island of Coron. The water is clear and the food is amazing. We had a full itinerary planned for another two days, snorkelling, diving eating and lazed in bed spending the most time cuddling and hugging each other. We plan to go to another island in Puerto Prinsesa in Palawan next.

In the past week, every morning I would make the same routine. Wake up early and go for a jog by the beach, call Q for updates and then run back to our cottage to wake Phum up for breakfast.

I must say, this is the happiest we felt since we got together. We were making memories and talk about our plans to start a family soon. Tan and Fang,  Chain and Pun, and Matt and Mick have children and now Beer and Fai are expecting twins. Only Q and Toey and my couple are childless and not married.
