It was morning, and Godt could feel the sun ray from the curtain's slit hitting his face. But the thing that waking him up was the sobbing of a person, and he was wondering who would be sobbing in this early morning. He wanted to retort, but then he would remember there would be only two person in this room, him and.....shit. Copter! Godt would wake up right away, and fair enough, Copter was sobbing hard in his sleep, and he would shake Copter hard to wake the guy up. "Cop, Copter. Wake up, na. Why are you crying? Cop, Cop, wake up!"
Once Copter was opening his eyes, he would get up and hugged Godt right away while still sobbing hard. The hug got tighter by the minute, and Godt was confused as hell. Was he the reason Copter would even crying in his sleep? He had promised himself many times that he would never make Copter cry but then in less than a day, Copter was crying twice already. 'Am I such a big burden to his heart? Was it that hard to reply me and my feelings? Copter baby, am I that bad of a thing in your life?'
But Godt would just let Copter cried in his arms, just like he promised last night, even though it was the worse feeling to wake up with. He thought today might be a good day, and he even had a sweet dream last night. But contrary to what he was expected, this were happened. He didn't know what to think, but he knew he will always be there for Cop. Regardless what his feelings were to him. That was his promised.
It was evening, 15 minutes past 5 and they were all gathering in Godt's house, in his room. It was Saturday again, and Godt's wound was almost fully healed. Godt's room were big enough to place a set of couch, a little bit smaller than in the living room, but was enough space for everybody to sit on. The room inner design was quite simple, just that the way all furniture arranged that it should fit in into the room. Though, it was quite pleased to the eyes and it doesn't look messy at all. The reason why they would used Godt's room instead of living room was there may be a possibility Teerasak had eyes in this house. So, Godt would feel more comfortable in his own room.
Copter was sitting beside Godt, and on the other side was Tee, next to Tee was Tae who was taking the single couch and next would be Somchai and Arun. Krit would take the single couch opposite to Tae. "Since this is the first time uncle Arun joining us, I would like to introduce him. This is uncle Arun, my family's longest friend and a legal advisor to Thanit Association, aka my company. Uncle, this is P'Krit, he is P'Somchai and this is P'Tae. And Wuttichai will be with us in little bit through video call." Godt was introducing Arun to everyone and was introduced only the people that Arun had never met before while pointing to the respective person. They would just nod their head as a way of greeting each other.
"Okay let start. First off, Mr. Arun, Godt told us that you were investigating Teerasak for quite some time now. Would you share with us the information you've got on Teerasak?" Krit would start the discussion, or meeting or whatever they called this is. "I'm afraid what I had in hands wouldn't be much of help. I was investigating his background and no matter how much deeper I dig, his record seems clean. He was graduated with normal achievement for doctor's degree from local university. He was working as a doctor for 4 years as intern and was working two years as a permanent doctor before he was married with Godt's mother and quit his doctor position to work in the company. But there wasn't a single good thing about him in two years working as a doctor. He was labelled as perverted doctor as well as incompetent doctor."
All of them were reading the papers that Arun was provided to them about Teerasak's background. "However," Arun was continuing his words that making every pair of eyes were focusing on him. "I heard something strange from someone reliable about him. He was once facing charges by the hospital for selling drugs to the drug addict. However the case has been settled outside the court and no records about it since the hospital pull back the charges, and Teerasak had been force to quit the hospital. Guess who the lawyer represents him at the time?"
"Adisak?" Copter was fast to response. Arun would just smile and nods to Copter's guesses. "They were known each other for that long?" It was Godt turned to ask this time. "Yes. The possibility that all this was a plan from the start, or he married your mother as a coincidence, we couldn't even tell." Arun was telling Godt with a sad expression, understanding how this news will affect Godt. Fair enough, Godt's face was red with anger, he was grasping his finger so hard trying to calm himself down, when he felt the soft hands were holding his hands. And as magical as it was, he could calm down right away.
The ringing sound on Godt's tablet was heard and Tee would answer the video call from Wuttichai right away. "What do I miss?" Wuttichai would ask right away once the call was connected. "Anyway, I couldn't be long since I was occupied with the event right here. P'Godt, uncle had a lab in Mexico, with some investors that my parents didn't know, but they were quite 'big' people. It wasn't a research lab, but it was a produce lab, more like a factory under the pretence of medicine research and would use your company's name. You could find it in company's record, it was a project started almost right after uncle was joining the company. And about Adisak, he was left his family right after he was graduating, but it wasn't voluntary, his father had chased him out because of his hobby. He was making porn videos since he was studying and his father had caught that. They were never contact again after that. That's all I need to tell, if there's anything more, I'll contact P'Godt again. Sorry I had to go, bye, and take care everyone."
And the call would cut off just like that making everyone frowning, with different reasons. It might be because of the facts that Wuttichai had just shared just now, or maybe because of the sudden call and sudden cut of the call, making some of them could just shaking their head. "Sorry for that. Anyway, that was some news we got. Uncle, did you know anything about the project?" Godt would turn to Arun. "I remember a project base on Mexico for a disease back in that year, and the funding was completely from our company at the time, but it was shut down right after the disease had been control the next year. The property might still be ours, but since there were no projects there anymore, it should be abandoned place."
