Chapter six!

Though Win was happy after his day with Bright, after they both parted ways, he couldn't help but think about the situations at his home. He knew what his sister did was wrong, falling for the wrong guy. Knowing that she is pregnant with that guy's child made nothing better.

He couldn't sleep that night. He sure knew he is going to look like a zombie tomorrow. But still, he just couldn't control thinking all the bad things happening to him and his family. He has sacrificed all his happiness just to provide a roof over and food for his family. He still can't forget the day he saw his father lay lifeless on his arms. That memory till now shudders him.

A few years back:

A 16-year-old boy came running to his home having scored the first place in the 1000m running race that was held in his school event.

"Dad, I won today. As you told me I am strong and I am a good boy too now," - he cheerfully hugged his father giving his trophy to his father. His father held a proud smile on his face to see his son happy. What else would a father wish for? He was perfect in studies. He wasn't the topper, but being perfect in studies is not scoring marks, but gaining knowledge.

His father never once told him to do any stuff, being to study or win in a competition or anything. Win did it all by himself. He just liked his father smiling at him. And he would just do anything just for his father to feel happy and have that smile on him.

But how cruel fate was?

And that very smile on Win's face whenever he showed his marks to him, when the moment he came out as gay and his father just hugged him and gave him his support, the moment he brings numerous trophies and certificates to home, all these made his father forget the excruciating pain in his chest.

He was going to die. He knew that. His wife did.

But Win didn't.

Both his mom and dad loved him so much that they weren't ready to make his smile wear off. His mother knew how he would react when everything would be finally gone, so she actually wanted to tell his son about that. But his father refused. Being the last days with his son, he wanted to see a smile on his face, not a sad face.

"My munchkin is always a good boy. You make your father proud baby" - his father said as he ruffled his son's hair and just then his mother bought them snacks for the evening. She couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes.

She could not see her son being so happy and kept in the dark about his father's health, she could also not bear seeing her husband hiding the pain in a clever way from their son. Their elder daughter stayed in a boarding college for her studies, and so even she didn't know what her parents were undergoing.

The father sure saved up enough money for them to survive. But they didn't know about the evil world that is always there for them to laugh at them when they fall in a pit. They rather would laugh than to help.

After some hours, when they were having their dinner, his father felt a gut-wrenching pain seep through his heart. Since Win was seated there, he tried to get up to move away from his sight but his legs gave up as soon as he got up.

"Pa"

"Phuat"

Both his mother and son came dropped their plates as they rushed to support the person struggling to walk.

"Win, I am fine don't worry. Just get some water"

His mother rushes to get water when he supports his father and places his father's head on his lap.

Even before his mother bought the water, he could see the abnormal breath in his father. He sure did know now that his father was not physically stable. He noticed his father reducing weight but he never really asked because he thought it didn't matter much.

his mother came rushing to make his father sip some water, but he didn't drink the water.

his hold on Win's hands tightened for a bit before it fell down lifeless.

And his mother knew this was to happen eventually but she did not expect to happen so soon.

She just yelled through her home that he can't leave them just like that. But it is what fate is. No one ever stops deaths.

Win remained statue still having his father on his laps. He couldn't understand what just happened.

"Ma, if we take dad to the hospital now then he will get up, right? He just fainted didn't he?" - he said with a shaking voice, not wanting to hear the truth.

She then explained everything through her sobs which made Win stay quiet. It happened very soon that he was not able to take it well. He sure didn't expect his favorite person to quit the earth so soon.

Little did they know he intentionally consumed pills to suicide? 

That was the last day he laughed with his father, in face laughed in general.

His misery started from there, and it is still on his way.

The sun rose up before he even could get some sleep. He made sure to put some light make up so that no one would see the broken person inside. He was sure a good actor to mask all his sadness and pains with a bright smile.

As soon as he entered his workplace, he was called by the CEO.

"Sir, any problem? You usually don't come this early right?"

"I wanted to talk to you in private for some time before anyone comes, so I thought I could just come early to have a talk with you"

"Did I make some mistakes in the files I sent you yesterday sir?" - Win asked unsurely. 

"That need not be talked in private"

"Sorry sir" - he held his head down.

"Didn't you sleep well? You look sick child" - the CEO asked as he noticed Win.

Though he could act, his CEO somehow managed to read Win like an open book. He was the next person who cared for Win after his father. 

"I am fine sir. So what is that?" - he asked because his curiosity was taking the best of him.

The CEO explained how Bright needs to get married soon in order for the company and why he was making these decisions this soon.

He wanted his son to stop playing around and know what love is. And also he cannot own a company unless he has a partner. 

"Should I look for profiles of some guys and girls, sir?"

"No, I already have a person in mind. It is just that I wanted to talk to him"

Win, just then felt something sink deep in his stomach. he wasn't aware of that feeling though.

"Oh, should I invite that person over dinner, sir? Should I call him?" - he was sure the best secretary Mr. Auwut had.

"No, I already decided to talk."

Win hesitated for a minute. He shifted between his legs.

The CEO sure noticed the disappointment in Win's face. He does know this kid here has a crush on Bright. He was waiting for his response. It seems like he could hide his emotions well. Before the CEO could talk further, Win asked him.

"Sir, if you don't mind may I know who is that? Do I know the person?"

"ITS YOU!"
