Through Time

Chapter - 3

Tae POV

The usual traffic in Bangkok gave us a way that we arrived at the residence of Kerdthongthavee in no time.

"My parents are not here at the moment" He point us to the living room, while he went upstairs.

While I sit down, Kim keeps looking around.

"Oi, Kimmon what are looking around? Just seat here."

"What?" He smirks at me.  "I'm just looking at my future-in-laws house." he sat besides me.

"Shit Kim! Are you serious?" Kim may looks like to play around but when it comes to relationship I never seen him joke.

He just gave me a sad smile.

We both stop when we heard footsteps from the stairs, it's Copter.

"It's a family heirloom, my mom's aunt died last month and gave a ring as inheritance."

Copter seats in the opposite chair from us, placing an old black jewelry box in front of us.

"Can I open it?" I can't get off my eyes from the box, like it's calling me.

"Of course sir."

I carefully opened the box, and as I set a glimpse on the ring inside a sudden jolt of pain struck my heart that forced me to close my eyes.

A someone sobbing, a woman's voice. I want to open my eyes to see who is it but the pain is stopping me.

There's only three of us in the area, who's crying?

Then sobbing turns into wail. The pain grew stronger, I want to clutch my heart but I cannot even feel my own body anymore.

"What have I done?" A hoarse voice of a woman.

"Please kill me." It's her, the one crying.
"Please!" Then a screeching sound, the pain goes already in my head.

Stop it! Stop!

"Kru Tae?"

"P'Tae!"

Voices calling me, I feel like I was drowing and pulled out of the water. Catching my breath like its been out for a while.

But then when I opened my eyes, the pain is gone, that I can now see clear the ring. My breathing is back to normal like nothing ever happened.

"What happened to you man?" Kimmon faced me with worry.

"Didn't you hear that?" I looked at both of them.

"Hear what? You just suddenly stopped moving and stares blankly I got worried."

I looked at Copter, his face saying the same. Why am I the only one who heard it?

I decided to keep it to myself at the moment, and looked again at the ring.
And there it is, indeed same as the one in the painting, an oval shaped with six small diamond and a bigger one in the center.

I was about to get it from the box, but I noticed my hands are shaking. It's affecting me too much.

"It seems authentic old, but how are going to be sure it's the real one?" Kimmon also already examining it, his face is serious but his hand already found its way to the younger boy's knee.

"Wow sir, you mean the queenwitch was real?" While he pinch my friend's hand.

"Ouch- ouch! Ok! I'll stop kaphoom!" Hayy Kimmon, I can't do anything but held my hand against my face.

"Yes, the reason we will be out of the country tonight." A little leak of info will not hurt I guess. "We got some tip and need to check on it." I think i can trust Copter on this as he trusted us with ring.

"Ohh, it might be really important."

"That's why Copter you need to secure that ring, make sure it's safe."

"Why sir?"

"Nah! I'm just being paranoid, it will really cost a lot, a more if it is really owned by a Queen."

But actually I'm thinking about the guy Itthipat, seems like he will also not stop till he discover the whereabout of the Queen.

Outside the house.

Two men sitting in a car nearby.

"Looks like we already found our target."
The driver said while playing his lower lip with his fingers.

I got lucky enough and seen Copter a few times, he is really nice and cute in person. And one thing that makes me love him is, he is a down-to-earth kid. Love yah Copter ja!💕
