IN A COUNTY HOSPITAL ...
- "Family of Mr. Thomsom..." - said one of the nurses who, from her place at the door of the visiting room, was calling the relatives and friends of the different patients that were inside the rooms.
Singto, with his face hidden in his arms, was waiting with an unbridled heart for someone to appear.
Someone who could tell him how Krist was.
Through his mind, over and over again, were passing the same images that, he was sure, won't be able to forget in a long time ... maybe never ... as he could still remember, in great detail, how he had found Krist ...
At the foot of the emergency stairs and in the middle of a pool of blood.
Of his blood.
Singto closed his eyes tightly, trying to make the image finally disappear from his thoughts.
Something totally impossible.
And the worst part was knowing that, maybe, he could have avoided it.
"If only I had accompanied him ... maybe he would not have fallen from the stairs," he thought as he clenched his fists in a fit of anger against himself, "It's my fault ..."
- "Relatives of Miss Thanapol" - called the nurse again while Singto, who had raised his head as soon as he heard the steps of the girl, lowered it again with a sigh of regret.
"Nothing new..."
Suddenly, before anyone could even think what could be happening, they heard footsteps running down the hospital corridor.
The door to the room opened and two young men entered quickly. Both frowning and completely pale because of the shock and the fear they were feeling.
Not even the run through the hospital corridor had managed to color their cheeks with a blush.
- "Krist ... Krist Perawat" - said one of them, with dark hair and light skin, to one of the nurses who had just peered out to see what was happening inside the visitors room - "we have been informed that he is here, in the intensive care area ".
The young woman frowned and, without saying anything, consulted one of the lists she had with her.
- "He is still in the operating room ... please wait with the young man who has been accompanying the patient" - she said while pointing towards the place from where, with trembling hands, Singto was watching them.
Arthit did not wait a second longer and, with a couple of strides, approached the young man with an expression on his face that made the boy sweat cold.
- "What the hell has happened now?!" - Arthit exclaimed as soon as he approached the young man who, with his eyes wide open, was watching him with tears running down his cheeks.
- "I do not know ... I ..." - the young man muttered as he lowered his eyes again, this time towards the ground.
Arthit got furious.
Kongpob, seeing his boyfriend's expression, sighed and, before Arthit could say something that he would later regret, put a hand on his shoulder and made him sit next to the boy while he took the seat farthest away.
- "Calm down ... we are not recriminating you anything" - Kong said with a calm expression and a soft voice. Trying to calm the young man who, obviously, was overcome with everything that had happened - "we just want to know what had happened for Krist to end here".
- "I do not know ... I really do not" - Singto said again as he looked at both of them - "I found him on the landing of the emergency ladder. All I know is that he went there for something that he had forgotten in class... "
Arthit sighed and, taking a hand to his hair, began to stir it while thinking about his nephew and, above all, trying to understand why those kind of things were always happening to him.
The young prosecutor still remembered a much younger Krist who, one afternoon, had even tripped over his own feet... An adorable and somewhat awkward cutypie with which he had carried out many mischiefs when they were younger.
"And now he is there...," he said to himself as he felt a lump in his throat, "behind those doors and fighting for his life"
Arthit could not help but turn towards Kongpob and bury his face in the young man's shoulder, seeking strength and warmth.
- "Mr.Perawat's family?" - finally asked one of the nurses, making them look at each other and, quickly, got up and approached the woman with worried looks on their faces - "The doctor is waiting for you".
A FEW MINUTES LATER...
Kongpob looked around the office of the doctor who was in charge of Krist's health with curiosity.
He was especially interested in an elephant statue that, with his trunk up, was on one of the few bookshelves that were in the small room.
"To attract luck ...", he though as he tried to remember in which of his many books, he had read about that custom.
- "And to think that we are in one of the most famous private hospitals in the country..." - said Arthit while watching, with an astonished expression, the small office where they were waiting.
- "Well ... the views covers, undoubtedly, for the small space" - said a middle-aged man who, wearing a white coat, was entering through the door with a smile on his face.
Arthit blushed slightly, which made Kongpob and Singto smile.
Kong watched as, just a few minutes after his entry, the worried expressions of Arthit and Singto began to fade slightly.
Something that was especially due to the relaxing ways of the man who, with a white coat wearing the logo of the hospital, took his seat while opening one of the folders that were on the table.
"He's even smiling ...", Kongpob told himself as he began to feel that, perhaps, everything would end well ... that it would be only a nightmare that they will quickly forget.
- "Very well ... Let's talk about Mr. Perawat" - said the doctor while finally looking up from the reports.
His smile had just disappeared and he was showing them a serious expression that made everyone hold their breath.
"Krist..."
