We Are Meant To Be

Hello Sunshine

"Pha!"

I turn to look back at Kit who is coming towards me. I decide to meet him half way. I don't want him to overexert himself.

"Join us for lunch. When was the last time we got to do this?" He asks.

"Tuesday." I answer.

"That was last week. Come on." He says actually giving me puppy eyes.

I must look away. I can't win against those eyes. He rarely uses them but when he does it's a TKO. I turn and look through squinted eyes.

"Dammit Kit. Fine I'll go tell my office and meet you guys outside. Wait for me na?" I say.

I watch him head back out and call the reception desk telling them I was going out to lunch after all. There was giggling involved. I assume at my expense. Just take at Pha. I walk through the lobby and towards the door.

"Oh my gosh does that lady have a gun?" A voice rings out.

"Isn't that Dr. Kongthanin? Why is she pointing it at him?" A man says.

What did they say. I start to run for the door and shove my way through the crowd. I get to the front in time to see Kit swing his cane at my mother's head. I also see her shoot Beam.  All of this happens in slow motion.  Time literally slowed down so I could see the down fall of the people I love most.

I walk out the door and stare at the scene. Beam is lying in Kit's arms. He's watching me. Kit is frantic. He's screaming and crying. He's calling out for help then he sees me.

"PHA!!!"

I run.  I run like I never have before. I run to my wife. I drop to my knees when I get there and hold his hand. Tears, we all have tears and I can't say who is shedding the most. Beam starts mumbling something but I can't make it out.

"Sh-h-h-h. Beam don't talk, just hold on ok? Help is coming." I say.

I look down at his blood drenched shirt and feel my stomach churn. Somewhere in the back of my mind I hear the hospital door open and I look. A gurney, thank goodness. They head to my mother when I stand up and yell.

"Leave her! Let her die on the streets like the dog that she is!  Dr. Kongthanin is your priority." I command.

"He's always the priority." I whisper out and collapse beside him and Kit.

I just sit there as the gurney arrives. I sit there as he's placed onto the gurney. I sit there as he's wheeled back into the hospital. I slowly pull myself up and turn.

I look at my mother who is starting to move. I walk over and pick up Kit's cane. In my grief I raise the cane high over my head and bring it crashing down on her skull causing the cane to split in two. I watch as the blood pours down her face and pools in front of her.

"Pha. Wake up. Come on you asshole I can't carry you and we need to get inside for Beam." I open my eyes and see Kit kneeling beside me.

I turn my head and my mother is still how she was when I came out. Rescuers are with her now. I hope she dies.

I stand up and follow Kit into the hospital to surgery. I sit in the seats and stare out at nothing. I'm just focused on breathing right now. Breathe in, breathe out. You can do it Pha.

I barely notice when the waiting room fills up with our friends and family. I don't notice that my father has his arm around me. I don't notice who is crying and who's just lost like me. Although I assume that I am the only one lost right now.

The light goes off and the door opens. The surgeon walks out removing his mask and wiping his forehead. Kit pulls me up and we walk over to meet him. Forth has his arm around me too. I can't seem to hold myself up right now.
