Irreplaceable YOU

X

"Please have the hospital kill me!" I declared and watched the man's eyes grew big with disbelief. 

"Have you gone mad?!!!! Has the anesthesia went to your head and made you crazy?!" I could feel his father's anger, they are similar to Perth's. He is indeed a Tanapon- no doubt.

"Maybe I am Sir. Madly and crazily in love with your son that I can't think straight!" 

"Then, let's talk when you are well. I'll pretend this conversation never happened." and Sir turned his back on me and about to walk out of the ICU.

"Hear me out Sir! Please!" I begged him, if this is the way so I can push with my plan.

" I do love your son Sir, I want to be with him all the time. I want to see his smile everyday and he gave me strength. That I am thankful Sir. But with what happened, I don't think my love for him is enough for me not to fear for my life and Perth's." I stopped and look at Perth's Father to see his reaction. There was confusion in there. I clasped my hands tightly as if it's my lifeline. 

"I know your wife doesn't like me, and she told me that something bad might happen and I would be the cause of it. This might be it Sir.  This is my warning! Do you know Sir, for the last 3 days that I laid in this bed, my mind was never at ease. I'm always thinking what would she do. I'm tired Sir. This is the first time I've felt to exhausted and powerless. I'm tired of getting insulted and belittled when all I did was to love your son." I continued.

"Before I met Perth, my life was normal, pretty boring if you could say, but I was safe. I was at peace. I was happy (Liar!) and I was contented (really?, such a liar Saint), but now I don't know anymore. I don't want to leave in constant fear Sir." and my tears left my eyes because of what I said.

"Then why don't you break up with my son?" I wipe my tears first before I answered him.

"He won't accept it. You know how he is. I tried to talk to him about it but he won't listen, nor give me any chance to continue. Me dying would be the easiest way, for both of us. He would be hurt for sure, but he is still young Sir. He can still find someone, or you can convince him to marry that woman., with time he will forget about me." and every word I uttered cut me into  million pieces.

"You are underestimating my son's love for you Saint."

"I know Sir! I know." but no backing down.

His father took a deep breath. "How are you going to  do this?"

"I learned somewhere about a drug that could stop someone's heartbeat for 5 minutes. My condition is still not good, we could make it appear as  I did not survive my injuries." I explained.

" I didn't know you could be this cruel Saint!" I could hear the disappointment and the disbelief. I pursed my lips to stop them from shaking, as my resolve is starting to get weaker.

"This is the first and the last time that I would hurt him Sir!"

"What's your plan after? You still need to rest for recovery." his father inquired.

"That's why I am asking for your help Sir!" If I need this to be a success, I have to go all the way.

"Do you have any place where I can stay for a month? My company will be transferring me overseas, and I am planning to accept it. I'll leave Thailand within a month Sir. I just need a place to stay that no one knows." I answered.

"How long have you planned for this? Why is this so detailed?"

"Believe me Sir,  I just thought of it today." and smile at him.
