The Husband

012

We get inside the mansion. It was dead silent obviously since everyone was asleep.

Arthit wheels me to my room and helps me change. After that, he leaves without saying much.

Currently, I'm sitting on my bed thinking about everything that happened that day.

Amber's bloody picture, my parents' business, Arthit being in mafia...this is a lot to process in one day.

I decide to go ask Arthit about it. He might get angry at me but whatever.

I wheel myself to his bedroom. I see the door isn't locked so he's definitely awake.

Without knocking, I open the door.

"Arthit ..." but stop after I see him sitting on the bed with his shirt off and blood oozing out of his arm. Is that a bullet wound!!??

"WHAT HAPPENED?!!!" I scream as he glares at me in shock as he rushes to close the door but I push my wheelchair in.

"Get out Kongpob !!" he yells

"No let me help you !!" I yell back at him .

"Fucking move!" he tries to push my away but my leg hits the wall

"shit !!" I hold onto my leg in pain.

"Fuck! Are you okay ?!"

Arthit bends down to check my leg but I look at him and see blood oozing out from below his knees too.

"No! Stand up!" I pull him up but he looks at me weird.

"You're bleeding more when you bend. Please let me help you" I look at him

"I can do it myself Kongpob , go to bed"

I glare at him angry " I want to help you and I will help you. You don't always get to have a say so fucking sit down and let me help you!"

He sighs and gets the first aid kit and sits on the bed,

"You know you don't have to do this" he says

"But I want to", I respond quietly.

He leans back so I can see his wound.
I clean the wounds with alcohol and he squeezes my hand tightly as he was in pain.

Once he calms down, I take a twizer and pulled the bullet out but I was quite hard because it was deep inside.

I know how to do all this because once my best friend Daniel got shot in a robbery and I learnt from watching him pull the bullet out on his own.

I pull it out and put it on a tissue and wipe all the blood that was on his stomach, arms and legs. I take out a gauze and place it on the wound and badge his wound with his help.

"All done", I clap my hands

"Thank you Kongpob" he gives me a small smile as I smile back at him.

I look down at my hands and see it's messed with blood

"Um. Arthit can you just help me wash my hands please?"

He gets up and takes me to his bathroom and I wash my hands. I look in the mirror and see Arthit leaning on the wall observing me.

"Is something wrong?" I ask him as he looks at me.

"no ... Just wondering how you never ask any questions"

I guess I should let him know that I know
