Mr Kongthanin stood in front of the door for two seconds and hesitatingly stretched out his hand to opened the door.
The door opened with a click and Mr Kongthanin entered the room.
All the lights in the room were off , A ray of light was entering the room from behind the curtain of the window which lit up the room a little
Beam was sitting on the ground in a corner of the room near the sofa,He was sitting with his head on both knees with close eyes
Hearing the sound of the door opening, beam immediately raised his head with a jerk in fear and looked at the door with yellow face and scared eyes.
"its me, don't be scared, its me" Mr Kongthanin spoke quickly and turned on the light in the room
Seeing Mr Kongthanin, the expression of fear disappeared from beam face, but he did not say anything and started looking at Mr Kongthanin silently
Mr Kongthanin closed the door and started taking small steps towards beam but stopped to see the food on the table.
The food was on the table just as he had left it
Far from eating, beam had not even taken a sip of the water that Mr Kongthanin had poured into the glass for him.
Mr Kongthanin felt pain in his heart but he could not do anything but remain silent so he ignored the food and moved towards beam quietly
Mr Kongthanin sat down near to beam, there was deep silence in the room.
Mr Kongthanin didn't know what to say or how to start conversation , How difficult it seemed to talk to his own son
"So whats up" Mr Kongthanin asked with soft gentle smile. Despite the smile on his face, the moisture and pain were clearly visible in his aged eyes.
Both the smile and the pain on the old man's face were making a strange heartbreaking combination
Beam looked at the helpless smile on Mr Kongthanin's face silently but he did not give any answer to Mr Kongthanin
"If you need anything,feel free to tell me anytime" Mr Kongthanin again tried to start conversation
"Sorry" beam looked into Mr Kongthanin's eyes and said in a very low voice, almost like a whisper
"Why are you saying 'sorry', You don't need to say 'sorry' we all should ask you for forgiveness" Mr Kongthanin looked at beam nervously and said confusingly
"Sorry .... for my .... behaviour" beam just said this and fell silent and started looking down at his hands which he was rubbing vigorously
Beam was struggling not to break down
The struggle not to break was clearly visible on beam face
He tried hard and managed for few minutes but at last he failed and with painful hiccups, tears began to fall from his eyes
"...hic.... I am in so much pain... hic.... please I want to go"
"I.. hic...can't stay here"
"Please...hic... don't get me wrong" With this he fell silent again, and began to try to calm down himself
In the deep silence of the room, the sound of beam's fast breathing and light hiccups could be heard clearly
After crying for a while he roughly wiped his tears and started speaking again
"Please convince.... mom to let me go.... I'm suffocating here" beam said while wiping his tears with his elbow
"I have forgiven everyone, I don't want anything from anyone, I just want to go far away from here"
"So far that even the shadow of my past could not reach there"
This time there were no tears or hiccups when he spoke, but there was a terrible pain in his voice
Seeing this condition of his son, Mr Kongthanin's heart was bursting with pain, but he was so helpless that he could not do anything to ease his son's pain.
"Just give me some time, I promise I will convince your mom" Mr Kongthanin said with moist eyes
"Hmm" beam hmmed and shook his head
"Please eat some food , Your medicine is high dose and will make you feel worse"Mr Kongthanin said in requesting tone
"I don't have appeti-- " beam had not even finished speaking when Mr kongthanin interrupted him
"Please" Mr Kongthanin said in breaking voice
"Hmm" beam was not hungry at all, but this time he didn't have heart to refuse
