Mine

Kongpob's

I say, "Can you believe it?"
As we're lyin' on the couch
The moment, I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now

"How did you manage to convince my father, Kong? What did you tell him?" P'Arthit asks while I'm busy brushing the strands of his hair as his head lied on my lap, both of us lying on the couch.

"Nothing. It was easy, really."

And indeed, it's easy.

(Flashback)

After my conversation with P'Arthit's Mae, I, suffice to say, nervously went to his Por's office. I was more nervous at that time than the time I was about to take an entrance exam to my dream school, not just because I realized how filthy rich P'Arthit is but also because this is the first time I'm going to meet and talk to my boyfriend's Por.

I composed myself in front of Mr. Rojnapat's office and I had not even had the chance to make myself known when I hear a deep voice from the inside saying, "Come on in Mr. Suthilak."

If I was nervous earlier, now, I don't know how I could describe the internal chaos happening in me anymore. I couldn't stop murmuring curses as I slowly entered his office. I mean, how did he know me? Oh yeah, he had me stalked. But, how come he knew I'm going here? Did his ex-wife tell him? Wait no- of course, they are not talking because that will be awkward because they are already divorced. Wait, are they?

Well, why am I worried about that anyway?

I cleared my throat when I saw him looking expecting me to say something and immediately greeted him. "Good morning Sir."

"Good morning Mr. Suthilak. I have been expecting you."

"Sir?"

"My secretary told me."

Oh yeah, of course. How dumb of me.

I slowly nodded and remained awkwardly standing in front of him, not knowing what to say when he spoke up once again, "So, you want to talk to me?"

And I'm glad he did because I remembered why I was here. For P'Arthit. I willed myself to start talking, to tell him all the things I've practiced on the way here. "Uhm Sir, I want to talk to you about-"

"My son? So, you already know what I told him? Of me wanting to send him off abroad so he can manage our company there."

"Yes sir, I also know your threat to my family. That you're going to do something to my father?"

His eyes narrowed. "Did he tell you?"

"No sir. He just left me and I understand, maybe he's scared."

"So you have talked to my ex-wife then."

"Yes Sir she-"

"Of course, she asked you to come here?" At this point, I'm now sure P'Arthit comes from a family of mind readers.

"Yes but-"

"Well, you know what, whether you come here or not, I'm sure she's going to do something just to annihilate my brilliant plan because she doesn't think of her son's welfare. Very typical of that woman."

I did not bother to react, I mean, that's a fight I want to exclude myself. "Uhm sir-"

"So, why are you here?"

Yes. Finally. Thank you for letting me talk.

"Because I want to talk to you about P'Arthit's state. Sir, just hear me out and maybe I can change your mind."
