Kit remained seated on the bench for what felt like eternity, taking in deep breaths to calm his anxious heart. He's surprised just how much can a pair of eyes do to him.

It was not even him. It was just a child with the same eyes. He sighed. This is madness.

He decided to go home. He thought that he might just be tired from all the craziness lately. His head is still popping some veins a bit from last night's beer. Not to mention his jetlag. He seriously needs to get some rest.

He stood up and started walking out of the field. The cool night air is touching his face, helping with his job on pacifying his heart. He walked down a path lined with lamp posts to guide him through the darkness. It is covered with huge acacia trees that gave it a picturesque view. He silently traversed it, delighted with how the air brush through his hair. His feet carried him to the ground in front of their previous lecture building, leading to the gate.

Shit. He remembered that he forgot to tell Tom that he is in Bangkok. He got extremely preoccupied yesterday with all these mess that he completely forgot about telling him. So, he took out his phone and started typing. He was about to cross the cemented lawn and dial the number when he saw the child again. He's eyes are as wide as earlier, gaping at him with unblinking eyes. His heart once again went into frenzy.

The child's head is rested on a tall man's shoulder who is standing with his back facing Kit, talking to the lady that took the child away. He's hauntingly familiar. Chills run down his spine that gave him shivers. He can feel the blood rushing like a great flood to his face as it violently made his veins pop. Before he knew it, his feet started to move a little closer to the man, despite his knees shaking like jelly, until he was just a few feet away.

"Angel!" Kit heard the child screamed and tried to reach his small hand to him
