Kongpob goes out for a walk while he gets a little emotional remembering the painful truth of his life.
He was diagnosed with fertility issues when he was thirteen years old. The fact that he will never be able to have his own children aches him deeply. He absolutely loves kids, more than anyone you'll ever know. And ironically, he won't be able to have any.
Kongpob is lost in his thoughts when he notices a little puppy stuck in the middle of the road, in between the heavy traffic.
People are gathered around and they are worried about the pup but no one is trying to help it out.
Kongpob tries to call out to the puppy but he stops since it might get too risky. He decides to go and pick the puppy up from the road.
Just as he was about to run to the puppy, he notices a little girl standing across the road looking at the pupper.
She is proceeding onto the road amidst all the traffic."HEY!! YOU!! STAY THERE!!", Kongpob yells,"DON'T MOVE!"
But the little girl walks right into the road and picks the puppy up in her lap.
The puppy is safe! But what about the child??
Kongpob doesn't hesitate any longer and runs to the girl.
"STOP!!!!!!!", Kongpob yells at the driver as he was about to hit her with his car.
The driver pulls the brakes and the the car stops abruptly.
Kongpob wraps the girl in his embrace.
"Are you alright??", Kongpob asks the girl.
The girl smiles and nods.
The people gather at the scene to see what happened.
Spectator 1: - "Did you see how the father showed up at the right moment and saved the child?"
Spectator 2: - "Yeah! Otherwise the kid would've got nto an accident"
Spectator 3: - "Thank God her dad was here"
Kongpob looks at the people discussing among themselves. They think Kongpob is the little girl's dad. He smiles and looks at the girl, who was looking back at him with her big sparkling eyes.
"Let's go", Kongpob picks the girl into his lap.
He takes her, along with the puppy across the street and the three of them sit on a wooden bench.
"So...?", Kongpob asks, "What's your name baby?"
"Justice.. Rojnapet", the lil girl answers.
"Justice??", Kongpob exclaims,"What a sweet name! Do you know who I am?"
Justice shakes his head.
"You don't? Aww", Kongpob says, "I'm your Uncle Kongy"
"Uncle Kongy?", Justice smiles
"Yesss! Your new neighbour!.", Kongpob replies.
Justice smiles excitedly.
"I have always wanted to be your friend", Kongpob says, "Will you be my friend?"
"Sir!!! Sir!!"
Kongpob turns around to see a woman running upto them.
"Sir, I have heard everything! Justice would've got into an accident if it wasn't for you. Thankyou!", the woman thanks Kongpob.
