chapter : 13

After three more slaps Singto stopped.
At this point, Krist was dizzy and red.
Blood came through his nose.
Lips got busted.
Singto went near him and took his hair in his fist,
"Is this the way you talk to your husband?"
Krist wasn’t in his mind to answer.
Another slap welcomed his face.
"Okk... I will teach you how to behave."

On the other hand inside the mansion :

Little Joe was crying nonstop.
Calling for his papa.
But Ming didn’t leave him.
He was clutching him in his arms.
"Puppy, stop crying."
"Leave me I am going home"
"Nooo...no..you will live here with me"

Ming didn’t know the reason.
Why his mama was angry?
Nor he could understand the reason for his puppy to be so sad.
"Why are you crying, don't just don't? I will give you my everything, my toys, cars, all..ok?"
Ming tried to touch him, but he couldn’t. Joe flinches everytime he gets closer.
"Papa...Papa..."
He was getting breathless.
"Puppy, Puppy, listen to me."
Ming started crying, he didn’t know how to make it normal for his puppy.
"St..oop...sto...pp..."Ming sobbed.
Seeing him cry, Joe stared at him.
Like an allien, he just want to go home.

" I will give you all my toys, all my food, anything you want.. Just don’t cry anymore.. My puppy please..."
Ming cried out loud.
Joe only whimpered at this point.
Ming came out of his room running.
He could hear his mother screaming at someone over mobile phone.
He tiptoed and went to the kitchen.
He hurriedly took the box of ice cream and went back to his room without glancing at anyone else.
"Puppy....Puppy...see...what I got for you?!..(smiling) I am sure you will love it.."
His smile immediately got off as soon as he saw the room empty.
"Puppy..Puppy..."

But no answer. His ice cream fell out of his hands. His puppy was nowhere to be seen in his room.

Joe ran and ran with his little two feet.
His vision was blurry..
He was so small, even the sunflower garden seemed like an amazon for him.
"Mama" he cried-call his father.  Suddenly he was lost.
No sign of familiar road ahead.

He was on the verge of unconsciousness, at that moment two familiar hands picked him up from the pile of mud.
"Joe, why are you here?"
The little guy after a whole day felt relieved seeing his garden pa...
"Garden pa..." he cried.

Krist was so in despair.
He was on sobbing nonstop.
Singto had tortured him for a whole three hours. His son was somewhere he should not be. He could only think of the unthinkable.

He couldn’t lift a finger.
Just laid on the office couch.
Naked.
Covered with bite marks.

Singto was shouting on the phone at Zeze "you will see the worst of me once i come to the mansion, i told you hundreds of times not to put Ming on the same school, still you did that behind my back - he is going to new york, that's the final word ; a pause : You bitch, if you think i don't know what you did and who you did to get pregnant then shut the fuc*k up or i am gonna tear it up, your son is never gonna get what he wants i will make sure of that"

Every words - Krist has heard them before but he doesn’t utter a word.
He would never let his son suffer like he did. He will make his son disappear if that's what needs to be done.

Joe with his garden pa came to his home, the villa near the lake - half an hour away from the mansion.
Which Krist decided for his son.
So Singto built it, only for them.

Jemmy was waiting for Krist to come home. He was crying the shit out of himself. Seeing Joe well and fine he took him in his arms.
He immediately tried to inform his father, but Singto picked it up, so he had to inform him instead and requested again and again to pass the words to Krist.

At the mansion Ming was making a huge ruckus over his vanished puppy.
Zeze had enough.
On one hand, Singto was slipping away. On the other side, his son wants his half brother with him.
Both the mother and son was eating her brain. She was boiling inside.

But her inside trembled once Singto's car screeched outside the gate.
He doesn’t come here often, this mansion was built near his parent's.
He lives with them, mainly.
Comes here on occasions.
And it was for her son.
She knew.
She won't let anything happen to him.
Whoever the father maybe but she gave birth to him using her own body.
And she had large plans for him.
With him.

"Bring out your son"
Singto pulled out his coat and threw it on her face.
Zeze fumed but bit her lips.
She pulled back her zet black straight hair backwards and smiled with thin lined lips " Husband, pls understand, he is only a little boy, he just wanted to play, nothing else."
Singto in return slapped her in front of all the servants.
"Bring him here" he shouted.

Ming was always afraid of his Dad.
With shivering body and numb mind, he stood in front of his angry fuming father.
Singto crouched at the level of him,
Clutching his jaw tight,
"You piece of shit, you think you can just have my baby, I will make your whole tiny brain regret every thought related to my son"
Ming peed himself in fear.
Singto just tskd..
"You bastard, can't even stand in front of me without peeing and thought about my baby..."
With that he pulled out his alligator skined belt..
Started striking Ming.

Throughout the whole mansion only tiny Ming's pleading could be heard.
Singto thought Ming would have his lesson and forget about Joe.
But in Ming's every cell - Getting Joe was becoming more and more like a lifelong mission. He didn’t know what it was or what he felt.
He knew he needed Joe more now.
And he will get him.
His puppy
