The Husband

011

Dad laughs and shakes his head.

"I knew you were going to ask that question but as you said you want answers so I will give you answers..she is somewhere safe"

I stare at him..

"Did anyone harm her? "  I was thinking back to the picture mum showed me.

"No, after we heard she is pregnant, we told her to leave, she is where she supposed to be"

"Then why did y'all not get her married to Arthit when you  found out she is pregnant? " 

"All I'm gonna say is that she is where she belongs "

I so badly want to ask him that WHERE is that safe place she's at!? But I stop myself.

"Is that all, Kongpob?"

I nod my head as he smiles at me.

"Your sister is fine "

He gives me the  fakest smile ever and walks out of the office  leaving the door open.

He's not telling me something and I can sense it.

I wheel myself outside of the office and  head towards the sitting room when I hear my mother's voice.

"What did you tell him?" she hisses at my father

"Stop making  it obvious and do something useful for once!!", he grits out.

"Did you tell him the truth??"

"OFCOURSE not!!"

"Then??"

"I told him what he needed to hear"

I can't catch up to every single thing they are saying. I try to listen to them with more concentration.

"We had to sell our son to save ourselves. We had no option left. And now we have to roll with it. We have to watch them torture him and we cannot stop it. We don't need to. This business has no place for love"

What is she talking about!!? Is this business the mafia business??? Good lord..

"Seems like Arthit is starting to fall for Kongpob"

" If he does then I know  he will look after him", my mother butts in, "he won't let his parents do this to him. After all, he did get rid of Marco after what he did to Kongpob"

" How do you  know?" Dad asks

"Alberto told me"

My dad bangs the table, "you with him again??!"

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???. I literally wanna get Outta here tight now. I can't even stand my parents anymore. I know they will cause drama if I ask them any further questions. Or worse.

I wheel myself to my room and shut the door.

Four hours later~

It's already 6 pm and I'm waiting for Arthit. I messaged him and even called him but he never answered.

I haven't even got out of my room since evening because I dont want to see my mother's and father's face. They just angers me to my core and I don't want to  start a fight.

I wake up with a jerk as I hear knocks on my door.

I check my phone and see it's 10 pm already. Gosh, how long was I sleeping for??
