Divorce Lawyer in Love (Part 17)

Arthit

His heart is racing as he hobbles his way into the police station. Dusit, Forth, and Kongpob are at his side for support. He would soon be leaving for Paris. He would not be going to court because of everything that had occurred bot Forth and Kongpob would go in his place. He was glad that he had been able to confront Knot at the hospital but there was still one more person he needed to confront.

He thought back to a week ago. He had yet to make his decision about confronting Sirkit. He had been talking to Yihwa who had advised that he confront Sirikit only if he felt ready, but she also thought it was important that he did allow himself to close this chapter with her so that he could move forward. It wasn't until last week that he realized he did need to speak up.

He was at home. He's just gotten back from dinner with Kongpob and Yo. Dusit had set a driver for him/ bodyguard that would drive him around. It had been hard for him to cope with not living with his two favorite people. But he realized this was helping him slowly let go so that he would not be as sad when he left for Paris. 

For now, he would have dinner with them every day of the week, and Saturdays were spent with Kongpob and Yo. He would even sleepover at their home; that was still at the Suthiluck Mansion,  and then he would go back the next day on Sunday Morning. 

"How was it?" Dusit would always ask him once he got home. 

"Great. Yo and I made strawberry cupcakes." Arthit spoke with a smile.

"You know. You could also go to culinary school they have great programs in cooking and pastry." Forth suggests.

"I would like to do that. But would I have time? I want to focus on my art but it would be nice to learn how to cook more things mainly desserts." Arthit adds. 

"I have a friend that's a Pastry chef in Paris. His name is Yu Ping. I could call him if you'd like." Forth tells him.

"Can I think about it?" Arthit questioned Forth who nodded. 

"I'm almost done packing. And I think I made the right choice on who will have my position at the school at least temporarily." Dusit spoke up.

"You don't have to come with me... I feel guilty."

"We want to go with you." Forth speaks up.

"It will give us time to truly spend time as a family and as far as our business. We can simply overlook the businesses we have in France. I'm sure my law firm will be fine considering Kongpob is a great lawyer and is the new partner." Arthit smiles as he hears this from Forth. 

"Thank you for doing that.."

"I didn't do it for you only Arthit. I truly mean when I say that Kongpob is good at his job. I would have reached out to him right after he finished law school if Knot had not asked him to join his firm.... but. In the end, it was a blessing because he was able to help you." Forth spoke up and Arthit couldn't help but agree. 

"I'm always going to be very thankful to him for that too," Dusit spoke up. In his hands, there was a VHS Tape. 

"I found this while I was looking through some old things... I filmed this when your mother was pregnant with you. She was about eight months... Do you want to watch it?"

"Yes." Arthit spoke up the words leaving his mouth so quickly. 

"I'll set it up then..." Forth spoke up. It took them a good fifteen minutes to find the old VHS player that Dusit thankfully still had. Arthit was shaking as he sat down in the living room with Dusit and Forth. He heard the static as Dusit turned on the camera that he had used to record the video. He seemed to be walking into the studio and Arthit's breath caught in his throat when he saw his mother, his real mother Fah Rojnapat. She was sitting on a stool in front of a very large canvas.
