Father and Son

He is here. That means he is the benefactor. That also means I don't want to be here or the situation might get out of hands. "We are leaving Iris." I told her.

"But..." "I cannot stay here, not with him in the same room. You don't know half the things he had done to me." I told her. "isn't it a cause close to your heart and isn't it is a cause close to your sister. She wanted you to be here isn't it? And your father being here doesn't change a thing" She told me.

I think she is right so what he is here? I too am a benefactor here and my sister wanted me to enjoy doesn't she that is why she wanted me here? "I think you are right my sister wanted me here so I am going to be here and no one is going to stop me from that. I know this might take a while but I can handle him if it come to this." I told her. "That is what you should do"

I looked straight at my father who was talking with the master of ceremonies. "You are very generous, this year you have helped us generate more funds then we ever did. What made you do that?" He laughed.

"You know I always wanted to help those street kids. When my son was young, he too ran away from home. These streets had been his home for so long, and when I saw those kids, I want them to have best life they can have"

Don't loose it Sam, you don't want to fight him in front of all these people.

I clenched my jaw, that lying two timers, it was him who told me if I don't do as he said I can see myself out. And what he did was something I never will forget. Something that had still giving me nightmares. "How terrible how could he do such a thing?" That man is now seriously pissing me up. I need to do something before he trashes the remaining reputation I have left.

"You know kids these days, they think they know better than their parents and do anything to prove them wrong" I had it with him. He needs to know that he cannot open his mouth and trash me like that. "What about parents aren't they ever going to realise that they can be wrong too?" I asked. All the men and women in that room was looking at me. Ok, maybe I was too loud.

"What a pleasant surprise our one another major benefactor is here too, Mr. Samuel Richard King" I have just got myself in trouble again without even asking about it. Well, now that the cat it out of the bag, I might just get over with it. It is only fair that I do. Sooner or later I was going to face him, don't I?

"if you please expressed your views. We will be very glad." I will be proud to express the views very much. And show my father that he cannot just trash me like this specially when the fault was his all along. Now I have my chance and I am going to show him that he will never ever going to get better of me. "Please welcome Mr. Samuel Richard King."

I took the microphone from him. "Thank you for coming here tonight. This cause is very close to my heart, because once upon a time I was one of those kids. I know what they have to face, how hard it is for them to find their way in first place. So, I want to help them as much as I can." "Sounds like a noble cause Mr. King, but why you were on the street first place? are you one of those kids who ran away from home just to prove that you are right?"

The nerve of him? "Oh, it's not me who ran away, my father was the one who wanted me to be like him but my father was not a good person. He was the reason my mother left me. And he wanted me to be like him cruel and cunning, not caring about anything but about himself. He wanted to control me." The master of ceremonies looked at me sympathetically.

Huh, beat that Mr. Prince. "I am sure, you did the right thing. And now I know why you chose to help all those children. It must have been hard being on your own. One of another reason we should make little more effort to help those kids." "Yes. It is a pretty good reason I think, and we should all help those kids as best as we could." I told him. "Certainly Mr. King, we will do everything in our power to raise as much money as we can. Next up is our auction, I am sure you will find something that will interest you." "Sure, it is"
