Chapter 3

Fourth's POV

          I heard a knock on the door waking me up from the 3 hours sleep that i had as i was catching up with my siblings all night. I fixed my bed and went to take a shower, I came out wearing comfortable clothes and hairband in my hair.         'My hair are really getting in my way, i should get a haircut soon.' My train of thoughts got cut off as i heard P'Pond calling me for breakfast, i took my phone and hurriedly went downstairs.            My parents were sitting and waiting while i greeted and took a seat beside my brother.We all talked and had breakfast and my father told me that he wanna talk about something important after the breakfast.          I was a bit scared as i thought maybe he'll send me away again but my siblings comforted me by smiling and telling me to don't worry.

3rd Person's POV

          Fourth was sitting in the living room along with his family while fidgeting with his fingers, anxiously waiting for his father to say something and while his mind was clouded with all sort of scary scenarios his father blurted out something Fourth has never expected to hear in his thousand lives.

"Me and your mother called you back to Thailand to marry you off to Titicharoenrak family." Fourth couldn't comprehend to what he heard as he was shocked and confused at the same time.

"What are you talking about Paw, marry him off? He's only sixteen! Why would he get married to anyone anyway and which Titicharoenrak are you even talking about?" Pond interrupted as he was completely taken aback on what his father just said.

"Pond lower your voice! And i know what I'm talking about, Titicharoenraks has a strong influence on the rivals who are threatening us since Fourth was just a little kid, and those rivals are in business with Titicharoenrak family and we planned it a long time ago, and I'm talking about Earth Pirapat Titicharoenrak, and we're just thinking about an engagement, and marry them off once he's eighteen.", Fourth was still frozen and scared to speak, not because they were talking about marrying him to a guy, he came out to his parents a year ago and his parents couldn't care less as all they said was 'it's your life' as they let him live it!...he was just lost.

"P'Earth!!?? Are you serious Paw? P'Earth is almost ten years older than Fotfot, how can you even think something like that?", Namtan said almost screaming.

        Who is P'Earth and how can his parents even think of getting him to marry a guy ten year older than him. Fourth felt the air stuck in his lungs as he ran up to his room locking himself in while crying loudly, he couldn't believe what his parents said, he sometimes use to think that they only keep him away cause they don't want him in their life but he never felt so unwanted in his life as he felt now thinking that his parents are so heartless about marrying him to a guy ten year older than him, he felt so ugly and so disgusted. He always cherished life, and always thought that one day everything is gonna workout and he always thought that life was worth living but in that moment all he wanted to do is run off his balcony and put an end to it, but he couldn't because he was weak. He cried himself to sleep that night which felt like a nightmare.

         It was no doubt that his parents were thinking about his safety but they always kept a blind eye toward his feelings. The boy was a shell of a person and they couldn't care less.
