Chess Piece [On-Hold]

Awful Rumours, Painful Memories

Wayo's POV

The day after the incident with P'Gukgai and her friends, there are rumours and pictures of me and P'Kit behaving intimately spreading around the school.

Some of the rumours are about me and P'Kit are screwing behind my brother's back and some are about me and my brother having 3P with P'Kit. Why 3P? Not 4P or 5P? Should add more guys in, the more the merrier and make the storyline more interesting.

It's obvious who are the ones behind all these rumours. Did I care? Honestly, I don't. I can't help but to roll my eyes at the thought of those rumours. It makes me wonder why didn't the girls sign up for the position of TV producer or storyteller since they are so fond of making stories?

P'Pha's voice pulls me out from my thoughts.

"N'Yo, I'm so sorry, truly sorry. I don't know why these girls did such things. Sorry that you have suffered because of me. Don't worry, I will try to stop all those rumours." P'Pha apologises.

We are now sitting at Direction drinking coffee. P'Pha has been apologising to me ever since he knew about the incident and the rumours.

"It's ok, P'Pha. Just let them talk what they want. I don't really care about those rumours." I give him a half-hearted shrug.

"N'Yo, how can you be so calm when things like that happened? Most of the people will get angry when things like that happened to them. I myself will be one of them."

I explain, "Firstly, I can't control how people talk or think about me, but I can control how I react to it. Secondly, even if I anger myself to death, the rumours are still there, and the people will still talk so, it's wiser to save my breath and energy for a better use."

He says with surprise in his tone, "Wow! I'm surprised. I always thought of you as a child, never thought that you have such a mature side. I was thinking about how to console you when I was on my way here but from what I see, you don't need any."

I lean my back against the chair, revealing the painful memories from the past, "When P'Kit started to date P'Forth, there were rumours created by a group of jealous girls about him being a married man's sugar baby. The rumours gradually died down after quite some time, but last year, same thing happened again."

"Last year?!" P'Pha asks with a frown.

"Yes, it happened in this school. I had never seen that girl. I heard from P'Lam that there was this girl who confessed her love to P'Forth but P'Forth rejected her and told her straight that he already has someone else. But this girl couldn't accept the rejection well, so she started spreading rumours about P'Kit cheating on P'Forth around this school."

I take a sip of my drink before continuing, "She somehow knew that P'Forth won't believe her without proof, so she drugged both P'Kit and his friend who came to visit him at that time. They had sex and P'Forth was brought to the scene by her. She wanted to show him that his boyfriend cheated on him, but things didn't turn out to be what she expected. P'Forth believed in P'Kit. He trusted P'Kit and the love they shared. He knew she was behind all these."

"So, what happened next?"

"That girl? I don't know. I heard from P'Lam that P'Forth had been harsh to her on that day and she had never showed up ever since. From what I heard, she is not from this school. And that period of time was tough for P'Forth and P'Kit, especially P'Kit. I can tell you, it's a torture to them, both of them."

I blow out a heavy breath and say with furrowed eyebrows, "Can you imagine having someone other than your lover touching you, kissing you, having sex with you against your will and under control of drug?! And moreover, that 'someone' is your best friend?! Can you imagine how P'Forth feel when he saw the one he loves having sex with another man even if he knows it's involuntary?!"

"It's painful." He whispers softly with pained expression.

Why does he look like he is in pain? Did he ever go through the same thing as what P'Forth and P'Kit had gone through?

"It's beyond that. It's like going through hell. I was there with them. I saw how they suffered. It pained me to see the ones I love are in pain and there's nothing I can do to help them, to do for them. I just don't understand how someone can be so cruel to another person."

A tear escapes from my eye and I wipe it with the back of my hand. It has been a year, but the heart-clenching pain is still there whenever I think back to that time.

I apologise, "*sniff* Sorry for being too emotional."

"It's ok. I can understand that. They are your family." He gives me an understanding smile.

I sigh with relief, "Luckily, this time round, they are not targeting P'Kit."

"But they are targeting you. Don't you feel scared?" He tilts his head and looks at me with his eyebrows raised questioningly.

"You can say I'm naive or whatever, but I believe 'Evil can never prevail over good' and 'The upright need not fear the crooked'. Moreover, if they really want to deal with me with those filthy, mean, despicable methods, there's no way for me to escape, even I want to, right? So... why worry about something you can't change?"

"You really are very different today. Like you have suddenly grown up." He says with amusement.

I look around as if making sure no one is listening and lean forward, giving him a 'come forward' gesture and say mysteriously, "Come, tell you a secret...... Actually, there are two souls inside my body. One is a soul of a child and another one is a soul of an adult. They will swap places now and then whenever they like so... it's better for you to get used to it now."

He freezes for a few seconds, looking at me as if I have grown two heads, and I leisurely sit across him with the most innocent look I can make.

"Hahaha...."

He bursts out laughing and his body is shaking with laughter.

I love the sound of his laughter, it's a beautiful music to my ears. I love the way his perfect white teeth exposed, the way a wrinkle runs from his outer nose to the outer corners of his lip, and the way his lower eyelids wrinkled when he laughs.

"Ahem... You are indeed very special and unique. I'm wondering... how different my life will be if I had met you in a different situation..."

Huh!! What does he mean by that??

"It's getting late. I need to get you home before your two brothers coming after me, thinking that I had kidnapped their precious brother."

He changes the topic before I can ask him again. It's weird. He often says things that I don't understand, and he will always change the topic before I can ask him about it.

"Oh, by the way, I have seen that video of you and those girls. In that video, you said you are interested in me. I must say I'm honoured and thank you."

After hearing what he said, I feel numbness on my body, my throat tightening, my breathing shallowed and my vision gone blurred. I believe that the blood supply to my brain have been cut off and my brain cells beginning to die. Am I having a stroke right now??
