chapter : 12

The 8 years old, little Joe was waiting for his ma.
But unusually he was late today.
The yellow umbrella was lying sad beside him.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"
The bully gang of three larger boys, came forward.
The tiny boy got scared, trying to make himself as small as possible, he looked at the gate again to see if his ma was still coming.
Disappointed, he shrinked away.
"Now you have the audacity to ignore us? I will beat you so well that you will never do this."
Getting more afraid, Joe ran. He ran without looking where he was going.

A car parked came in his view, to escape his regular tormentor, he jumped inside the car.
Not noticing the person.

He was shaking like a leaf.
"Puppy"
Said an unknown voice.
Joe saw a boy longer than him, sitting beside him.
He was confused, where he has seen this guy.
But the boy was overly friendly and smiled hugely at him,
"Puppy...my puppy"
"Huh"
"My puppy" the unknown boy took him in his lap and started smooching him, "where have you been all this time?"
Dumbfounded, Joe just sat there.
After realising, he might be getting kidnapped, he tried to escape the clutches if that boy.
"Leave me..Ma might be looking for me."
Joe was trying his hardest attempts to set free but that adamant boy wasn’t leaving him.

"Master, we should now go"
The man in black three piece said.
"Then,go.. What are you waiting for?"
"But, the boy?"
"My puppy will go with me, now start the car." he ordered loudly.
Joe got more scared.
He was crying at this point.
"Leave me..ma..ma..ma"

Krist was running from door to door like a madman. He wasn’t in his mind.
All he wanted was his baby boy.

The police wasn’t even helpful.
The school authority was even worse.
They literally didn’t listen to a word, the single father had to say.

"Please, officer. My son never does this. Please help me. Krist was even ready to beg.
"Listen mister. We have lots of works to do. Go look in the house first. Most boys just go to play. He is somewhere with his friends. Just look there."
"Why are you not taking the case? That's what you are here for."
Uncle jimmy shouted at the disrespect.

As a result they were thrown out.
Krist sobbing loudly on floor, wailing for his son "uncle what if he is in a trouble? what if someone hurt him? he is too precious, so small..."
"Krist, we should call Singto now. It's getting too far way. Already been four hours. We can't even find him this way. No one is taking us seriously."
Panicked "do you think he will even care? he just has one son..he is never gonna find him."
"He will"

Uncle Jimmy without further investigations call for Singto.

The vast greyish decorated room was booming with sound of little sobs.
Joe was wailing thinking of his mother. He knows that his ma will get worried to death for him.
He just wanna go from here.

But the boy in front of him isn’t leaving him.
"Why are you still crying? Tell me anything you want. I will present it in front of you. Please puppy don't cry."
He said caressing Joe's head.
"Please let me go home. Ma will get sick for me. I have a test tomorrow."
Joe was begging.
Hearing about leaving, The boy got really angry. He knew one thing that his puppy won't go anywhere.
"No.. You will be with me. Here. In my room.."
"No.... No..plz plz. I beg you."
"How......."

The boy's word got stuck in his mouth. His words got cut with the loud sound from the door.
He saw his mother, with a very angry face came towards him.
Before any conversation, his mother slapped poor little Joe in the face.
The slap was so hard that Joe stumbled out of the bed.

"Mom!"
"How did you get here? Is he teaching you this? You are just like that bitch. No shame. No family manners. Just a gold digging sl*t. I will kill you.."
She was kicking the tiny stomach of Joe. And the pain was so sharp and sudden that Joe could not react at first.

"Mom.. Leave my puppy.. Now.. Mom.."
"Ming... How could you do this to me? Huh! How could you bring this moron here!?. Don't you love mommy..?"
Ming could not understand why his mom was over reacting.
But he knew his puppy was hurt.
And he didn’t like that.

He saw red.
He pushed his mother making her hit the floor. He took his puppy in his arms and went straight out of the room to another guest room.
He immediately took him to the bathroom and ran a cold shower for his puppy. And Joe was whimpering in pain.

Krist went straight towards Singto's office.
No guard stopped him, because they knew about him well enough.
He barged inside Singto's cabin.
Saw him on the president 's chair, working on some paper.
He was shocked, more like unexpected to see his love after three months.
The last they encountered was during his birthday which he spent only with Krist. It also he could do, because he kidnapped Krist in the middle of night in his airplane. They spent the week in chilli. But Krist was only bound to bed.

"What's the meaning of this?"
Krist slammed the table in front of him.
Singto calmly said "what is what?"
"Stop plotting. I am telling you. Give my son back." Krist screamed.
"You mean OUR son?"
"Mine..my son. Give him back."
"And where am I keeping him?"
Singto came in front of him and kissed his lips gently.
Krist pushed him back and sobbed loudly, " plz give him back, i only have him"
The sentence alone made Singto furious but he let it slide.
"Why do you think I have him?"
"Zeze called.. And threatened me. She said he is inside your mansion. And I can't step inside. Plz you already have a son. You don’t even recognise my baby. Plz give him back."
Singto just got more furious.
He strangled Krist and slapped him twice "voice down"
