Abandoned

Chapter 21

Ming's pov:

"Ming pack some clothes. We'll be going to my place after your session today." P'pha said when i came out of the shower the next morning.

I blinked. "So suddenly?"

"Yeah. Mom and dad have to go out of the country for some work. Their flight is at 2. You'll be staying with me until they come back." He said.

I nodded.

"How many days am i going to stay with you?" I asked going into my walk in closet

"They're not sure how long they'll be gone. They said they'll try to come back as soon as possible. So pack as much as you can." He answered.

"But i don't have a bag." I looked at him.

"Here." He gave me a big travel bag.

I took it and selected some clothes.

I finished packing all the things i'll need in around thirty minutes with p'Pha's help. 

When we came out, mom and dad were sitting at the dining table. 

"Good morning." They smiled at us. 

"Good morning." I greeted them. 

"You packed everything?" Mom asked while we were eating. 

I nodded. 

"We'll try to come back as soon as possible but i think we'll have to stay there for a few weeks atleast." Dad said. 

"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of him." P'Pha assured him. 

I smiled. 

"Call me and let me know how the session goes ok?" Dad turned to me. 

"Khrab." I nodded again. 

After eating i went to the reading room while p'pha stayed back in the dining to talk about something with mom and dad.

Halfway there, i realised i had left my phone at the table.

I turned around and quickly went to the dining room.

"-have a son who turns 5 this year." I heard mom say.

I stopped in my tracks.

I don't know why but somehow i knew what they were talking about had something to do with me.

So i hid behind the wall so they wouldn't see me.

"So they had another son a year after leaving their first son to rot on the streets? These bastards...." P'pha growled.

I blinked.

"We will most probably have to cancel our flight tickets." Dad said.

"Why?" P'pha asked.

"They're coming here. Tomorrow." Mom answered him.

My heart was pounding in my chest.

"Why are they coming here?" P'pha asked.

"A business trip. They'll be staying for two weeks." Dad answered him.

"That's not the bad thing." Mom added.

"They bought the house three blocks from here. They're going to stay there." Dad said.

"I'm taking Ming to my place. No way in hell am i risking him meeting them. He's finally starting to get better. Meeting those bastards is going to ruin everything." P'pha spoke up.

My palms were sweating.

I could feel panic rising up inside me.

Are they talking about my parents?
