Internal Affairs

Chapter : Twelve

 Loving someone can be hard at times.  You risk a lot when you love - your heart and soul, at the least.  Love is the most important and most rewarding investment you can make in another person.

 Beam POV

 I was 22 years old when I joined the police.  I still remember my oath at that time.  I promise to obey the law, the King of Thailand, the Government and serve the country.  I promise I will put the interests of the country before my interests.

 But for a moment I forgot.  I leaned my head against the glass in the bathroom and stared at my blushing face.  I not only put personal feelings first, I also jeopardized our mission.

 "I shouldn't have been further involved with him," I whispered to myself.  That way, I can put a limit on my relationship and Phi Forth.  That kiss will never exist.  And this feeling of guilt I don't need to feel either.

 I sighed and washed my face.

 "Let's get back to the path we had planned," I said, cleaning my face.  I walk out of the bathroom when I finish cleaning myself and my mind.  I was surprised when I saw a young child standing in the middle of the room.

 I have never seen him but there is no sign that he entered by force so I think the guards outside must have allowed him in.  Means he is one of the trusted people of the Jamornhum family.

 "If you are looking for Phi Forth, he will be back soon" I said as I walked to my bed with difficulty.  I groaned while trying to get into my bed.

 "Sit down," I said as I watched him continue to look at me sharply.  He seemed to be conscious of something.  He nodded and sat on the sofa in front of my bed.  He kept staring at me curiously.  Makes me awkward.

 "You ... Beam Jarujitranon?"  he asked.

 I paused for a moment.  I am not surprised if he knows my name since he is part of the Jamornhum family.

 "Um ... and you?"  I asked, looking at him.  He did not show any expression.  But he did not take his eyes off me.

 "How long have you known Phi Forth?"  he asked.  Wow, he's really not polite.  He hasn't even answered my question and instead asks another question!

 "Have you ever heard of the word take and give. I will only give you information if you give me information," I said, unhappy.  My reaction made him smile faintly.  Funny?  Does he think I'm funny?

 "If you don't want to answer it it's okay. After all, I will still get information about you from Phi Forth," said the man in front of me in a haughty voice.  As if he said that he was so familiar with Phi Forth and Phi Forth would answer all his questions.  I looked at the boy in front of me with displeasure.  I was about to say something but the door to the room opened.

 Phi Forth, Mr. Oh, Wayo, and a nurse entered the room.  Arrogant boy who initially sat on the couch stood.  He walked towards Forth.  His face looks worried.

 "Lam!"  Phi Forth seems happy to see the boy.

 Lam greets Mr. Oh, phi Forth, and Wayo "Seeing phi can scream like this, I feel relieved" he said.  The boy's expression turned friendly when he talked to Phi Forth.

 Phi Forth smiled in his wheelchair "I won't die so easily"

 His words made me snort on my bed.  What is he boasting about in front of that kid?  If it wasn't for me, he would have been stretched out this time.
