Lies between my tears

Promise

"Yes officer, my decision is final, i'll hang up now" i said to officer pete

I've been thinking this for several days now, i guess theres no harm in trying.

For the sake of his mother

I'm on my deep tought when my phone rung

Unregistered number

At first Im hesitant to answer but i  just found out that i already pressed the answer button

" who's  in the line?" I curiously asked

The person on the line cleared his troat for a  several times before speaking

" uhmm, kong, errr.. this is" he answered in trembling voice, based on his voice i  guesss this is Ohm

" Ohm?" I asked

" ye..yess.. uhhm i called just to say uhhmm  sorry" he whispered the last word i pretended that i didnt heard it correctly

" what was that?" I teasingly said

"Im..." he gulped hard

" im sorry" he said

"I  cant hear it correctly, wait ill be going there now to sign the dismissal paper, better to tell it to me infront" i said and hang the phone

I cant remove the smile that was drawn on my face, i can't help myself from smiling when im
Imagining Ohms face saying those words

I'm walking out from the house when i saw P'arthit standing near the gate

"P' what are you doing here?" I asked him and he looked shocked when he saw me

"I—am—err" he said while brushing his hair

" what?" I confusedly asked him

" err— can i —uhhm ask you for a date?" He then smiled and faced me

I was stunned at first, this is the first time he asked me for a date

" uhhmm. Ill be visititng ohm today P'" i said

" what!" His sweet voice turned into  fiereced and scary one

I was startled

" wh—why P'"

" what are you going to do there? "

" ill sign the paper, i withdraw the case that i submitted"

"Why?, are you going to set him free?"

" yes P'"

"But thats stupidity right! How could you
Let the person who almost killed you free?!" He shouted

" i know P', i know that this is wrong, but what can i do,  when i saw the medical result of his mother.." im not yet done talking when he interupted me

" yes,  now you see why everyone takes advantage on you, because you are so soft and kind" he blurted

" i know. But if you are on my position and you knew that this simple help can make a great impact to them what are you going to choose then?,  to help them or to maintain your pride high up" i asked him

" we..ll uhhm"

" see you cant even answer this simple question P'"

"  we all know that Ohm's mother is already on critical stage right now, and the only thing we can do is to help her to be with her son right, i know the feelings of being abandoned by your parents P', i dont want that to happen to him" i said and wiped the tears thats almost coming out from my eyes
