A Home For Me And You

They Are Better Then Me

Forth POV

I opened my bathroom door because Beam threatened to call Lam or an ambulance if I didn't open my bathroom door in five minutes. I smiled thinly and saw him standing in front of my bathroom door, staring at me worriedly.

"What happened?" He asked while checking my body temperature with his hand

I smiled faintly and walked to my bed "Pho is fine" I said as I climbed into bed. I looked at Beam "continue eating" I asked.

He looked at me annoyed "is that important right now?" He asked while sitting next to me "Where's the pain? Shouldn't we go to the doctor?" He looked at my body.

I sighed and pulled his hand "here. Here it hurts" I said, pointing at my heart. Beam paused and looked at me.

"Are you kidding?" He asked.

I laughed and nodded. He hissed and hit my chest

"Aw aw why are you hitting sick people" I protested.

"Beam is  serious!" he protested.

I sighed and looked at him "Pho is fine. Pho just needs to sleep" I replied. He looked at me for a moment

"Beam will make hot tea," he said as he walked out of my room. I sighed and rubbed my chest. Hurts. But Beam doesn't need to know.

Beam returned with warm lemon honey tea in his "finish and sleep" he said. I smiled and obeyed his words. Beam then climbed into my bed.

"Hey, what are you doing? Continue eating" I command.

Beam doesn't listen. He raised the blanket to cover my chest then patted my shoulder gently.

"Beam will be here until Pho sleeps and Beam will eat," he said. I sighed. If he decides on something, I know I won't be able to change his mind. So I closed my eyes. I could feel his hand patting my shoulder gently. I tried to hold back my tears.

for 13 years I took care of him. I think 13 is enough. I do not expect much. I will remember 13 years with him as the most beautiful memories of my life.

"Eat. Beam has told Uncle Lam that Pho is sick and will not be in the office today," Beam wrote on the memo he had placed on the dining table. I saw him make porridge. I sat down and began to eat.

"Looks like he can cook anything" I said

I finished my food before I decided to do something I had to do. I walked into Beam's room and took something that could be used for DNA testing. If I ask him directly I'm sure he will refuse. I walked to the post office and sent samples to Anita.

"Oi Forth. Why did you come in? Beam Said you were sick?" Ask my friends when I come. I laughed and turned on my computer.

"Don't tell me you use Beam as an excuse. You're awake late aren't you?" Accuse Lam.

I looked at Lam and smiled "you are really my friend" I said.

Lam laughed proudly but then he hit my head "I'll tell you to the boss" he said. I can only laugh at the threat. Right. This is better, work, forget what might happen. If Beam is a Vongviphan then we might separate soon, so it's better to leave good memories while we have time. I can't make him worry about me all the time.

I tried to be strong. I wanted to show Beam that I would be fine without him. I began to help him clean the house. Buy food for us. Cook dinner or buy dinner if I go home late at night. I also made sure that I put my dirty cloth in the laundry. Beam always scolds me if I put my clothes carelessly.
