Vegas
"Pa! Papa, we still need you! Please come back! " I couldn't hide my emotions.
"Vegas, what happened?" Uncle Korn said.
"Papa got shot. He's dead, uncle. " I said while crying.
"Let him rest in Vegas. Kant is already in peace now. He deserves to rest. "
Okay, Chan, call Macau. Tell him everything. "
"Yes sir, I'll just contact him." Chan said
I hate goodbyes. I hate saying goodbye, especially to people whom I love and care for. People just come and go. Every person on the planet deserves a second chance. Because you, me, and all of us are not perfect. But he never had a chance to speak up for himself. He deserves so much better. Pa, just hurry up. Come back to us.
The bodyguards picked up Pa. And I stood up. while I wipe my tears off.
"Pete is already awake. Do you want to meet him?" My Uncle said to me while patting my back to comfort me.
"Is he alright?" I said.
"He's doing great; he's just resting. And for your father, I will take care of everything. I'm on it. Don't worry.
"Thank you. I will just go to Pete's room. "
I ran. I don't know what I'm feeling. I don't know if I'm sad or happy. I'm sad because my pa got killed. And I'm also happy for Pete because he's already awake. Right now, I feel like there's a big brick on my chest. And the only way to take it off is to cry.
Screech~
"Vegas, I'm back hehe." Pete showed me the big sweet smile on his face. Then I went towards him and hugged him tight.
"You're really back, Hon. I love you. Now, we can eat what you requested that night; your favorite Southern Curry and Sweet and Sour Pork. " I cried so much that I couldn't help but just cry.
"I love you too. Why are you crying? Is there something wrong? " He said.
"Pete, Pa is gone." I said
"Sir Kant is gone? Yes, he died last year, right? " He said.
"No Pete, last year he was not dead. He is still alive. He was saved by Tawan. Pa is the one who tried to kill you. Tawan ordered him to do it. He told me everything, Pete, earlier. But he got shot by Tawan. "
"I'm sorry for your loss, hon." He said, while looking at me crying.
"Pete, Pa is really gone."
"Let it out Vegas, it's okay. He'll comeback i promise you that."
Pete
"Are you okay?" Khun Noo asked me.
"Yes, khap. I'm okay. " Then I gave him a smile.
I woke up. I was in a coma for weeks. I can hear everything. A coma is like being half asleep and half awake. I heard everything that happened. I heard how Khun, Porsche, Kinn, and Vegas took care of me. I always hear Vegas saying, "Pete, please wake up." Or "Who did this to you?" Speaking of the devil, where is Vegas? Is he with Tawan? He took the chance when I was in a coma. He took the chance to come back to Tawan. That guy-
Screech~
Vegas is crying. Wait, what happened?
Khun Noo went outside to give Vegas and I some space for each other.
"Hey Vegas, I'm back hehe." I gave him a smile to cheer him up a little bit.
Then he went towards me and hugged me tightly. I miss this and I miss the person who's hugging me right now. He buried his face in my neck.
" You're really back, Hon. I love you. Now, we can eat what you requested that night; your favorite Southern Curry and Sweet and Sour Pork. " He said, while crying so much. Maybe it's tears of joy.
"I love you too." Why are you crying? Is there something wrong? " I asked him.
"Pete, Pa is gone."
Huh? Sir Kant died one year ago. Maybe he missed him.
"Sir Kant is gone? Yes, he died last year, right? " I said.
"No Pete, last year he was not dead." He is still alive. He was saved by Tawan. Pa is the one who tried to kill you. Tawan ordered him to do it. He told me everything, Pete, earlier. But he got shot by Tawan. " he said.
"I'm sorry for your loss, hon." Seeing Vegas in pain just made my heart break. I couldn't help but to cry.
"Pete, Pa is really gone."
"Let it out Vegas, it's okay. He'll comeback i promise you that."
Sir Kant, if you can hear this. I promise you, I will take care of your son. I will not break your son's heart. I will hold his hands until my last breath. This may sound cliché, but I can do it. I know your son will do the same to me.
