Originally it was a peaceful and sunny holiday, in an instant it became a cloudy day of suffering.
The only son in the family is sitting on the bed and holding his boyfriend. Pete buried his face on Ae's shoulder, letting his tears drip onto the Ae's clothes, without saying a word. Ae clasped Pete's back with both hands, then stroked, stroking his head and giving Pete endless care and comfort.
"Ae..."
Until the quarrel downstairs stopped, Pete shouted and screamed, and Ae hurriedly listened.
"Dad must have asked us to separate. "
"What did you say!" Ae heard the words and quickly pushed Pete away. His eyes were filled with anxiousness and an unbelieving look.
Pete closed his mouth tightly and continued: "He...he won't stop here ... I know my father... he knows ... he will try to separate us. "
"But I won't let you go regardless!" After Ae spoke he again hugged Pete close. While Pete grasped at Ae's shoulders, and stressed that "No matter what your dad does, I won't be separated from you!" This sentence touched Pete's heart, and his tears began to flow in an instant, streaming onto his cheeks.
"You won't be separated from me... Really ... No matter what ...Father ... What did he say ... Don't... Don't separate ..."
"We will not break up! Anyway, I I won't break up with you... Don't even think about it!"
The young man said in a firm and fierce tone, holding Pete tighter.
After a while, he adjusted his emotions and continued to tell his boyfriend in a gentle tone what he wanted to hear; "I love you so much... How can I bear to be separated from you?'
Hearing these words Pete's hands clenched Ae's clothes tightly, and made his clothes crumple up. When Pete buried his face on Ae's shoulder, he remembered what the other person said to him before ... There's no need for him to bury his head in his knees all alone. He has a boyfriend now, whose shoulder's are waiting for you. Pete has never forgotten what the other person said to him, and for the rest of his life, this shoulder will be his last resort.
This shoulder was smeared by his tears and wet, but gave him a strong reason.
"I don't want to break up ... don't want to ..."
"No one can separate us!" But the door was opened, and the two people who were hugging looked up. They saw Pete's parent standing in the door with a serious expression.
Pat had only quarreled with her ex-husband for a few minutes, and she showed a tired face and looked like she had grown older by a few years. This situation also made Ae understand that his lover's mother felt tired of the situation just now, but when he saw the other's strong eyes, his respect for Pat was deepened.
"Mom ... Father, he ..."
"Your dad went back, Pete ." When Pat finished, she came to her son and sat down. Wiping tears from her son's face, and he was already crying again.
"Mom is sorry for you, to let you experience this kind of situation."
"I think I should go out first." Ae knew that they were both going to cry again and he asked to go out to avoid it. He knew that he should not stay to listen to their family affairs, but Pat slowly shook her head.
"No, Ae . You are also part of our family. You should also know about all of the things that happen here." After that, Pat turned to look at her son.
"Okay."
"Mom, are you okay? Do you have anything to say? What did he do to you?" Pete sat closer to his mother. Looking at his mother from head to toe. Did she have any injuries? After Pat saw it, she barely smiled and blinked and tried to stop the tears that were about to flow out.
She has only one son in her life, and she will use every means to protect him.
"Your father didn't dare to do anything to me. But I know that this man has just as powerful a mouth." Pat said that it as a joke. She gently touched her son's head and said; " No one will contact you. You won't be separated Pete. You and Ae don't need to separate."
"But grandma." Suddenly Pete mentioned this, because he was still worried about his father. But at the same time he did not want Grandma to know about it.
Her old age is high, no one can guarantee that if she knows that her grandson's sexual orientation is like this, she will not have an accident.
Pat sighed helplessly after hearing it.
"Your father won't say it."
"Is that possible Mom?" Will his father not use this opportunity to back stab his mother? Pat sighed after listening.
"Not long ago, your grandmother's medical examination report came out. The result is not very good. In fact, I think your father came back this time, not to come see you. His came back to see your grandmother. I told him If he wants to kill his mother, tell her about it...your father shouldn't dare Pete. He still stays in Thailand, it's for your grandmother, he doesn't dare to tell. Grandma's risk of heart attack, is so much greater if he tells her."
For these reasons, the more Ae hears, the more he feels that this father is really bad. He is not concerned with his wife or child, or his mother. He cares only about himself.
"So, you can rest assured. This will not be passed to your grandmother, but ..."
Pat sighed and turned her head to look at her son's boyfriend with a worried look.
"But Ae... you have to be careful during this time! I don't know what that man will do to you. He can't deal with me, he can't deal with Pete, he will probably come to deal with you."
Ae listens calmly. Pat spoke, and his boyfriend looked at him with a worried expression, but he smiled.
"Don't worry, I will be careful. And, no matter what happens, I won't break up with Pete."
Ae said firmly and smiled at the two. He wants them to rest assured that he is ready to deal with that man at any time. No matter what happens, I won't break up with Pete! Ae said to himself silently and firmly in his heart.
Ever since he heard those bad things about this demon, Ae felt faintly that he would be alone to face that man. But he did not think that he just taking a step out of his boyfriend's house and things already started to happened.
When he was preparing to go to the bus stop, a car was slowly parked beside him, and continued to move forward with him.
The driver's seat window dropped down, then that man who scolded his soon met Ae's eye. Ae was taken aback and then quickly raised his hand to wai the other.
"Hello."
"I came to ask about my son." This first sentence made Ae amazed. His hands were balled tightly, but his reasoning told himself not to be rude. After all, the other party is an elder.
If he accidentally says the wrong words and makes the other person angry, he will be demolished. When Ae arrives, he will probably curse at Ae that Pete has no vision and goes to an uncultured person, on the side of the road.
Thinking of this, Ae had to say in a polite manner; "If you mean that we are together, yes, I am dating Pete."
His eyes are determined, and there is no shimmering in them. He used this kind of gaze to look at the embarrassed elder in front of him. Careless Phumi began to show a feeling of dissatisfaction.
"How much did Pete give you?" Once again, this insulting voice sounded.
Ae held his breath after hearing it. His instinct told him that he wanted to pummel the other person, but in the end, he took a deep breath.
"We are in love, he didn't need to pay me."
"That is a lie."
Bastard! That's what you say about your child! You scum!
Although he was cursing the man in his mind, on the surface, he was still calm, but his hands were tightly closed, losing all color and turning white. He didn't want to impulsively make mistakes, and he didn't want to let the other side get the upper hand and make it difficult for Pete. At this point, the other party sneered, then picked up a book and a pen and wrote on it.
"Thirty thousand baht... break up with him."
" I don't need money!"
"Oh, it's too little then."
Although Ae spoke to the other person in a firm tone, he just shrugged and tore off the previous piece of paper and wrote on a new one.
"Three million baht... then get out of my son's life ... I will never let him use this kind of thing to destroy the reputation of our family!!! " A check was handed out from the car window and there is the other person's unforgettable tone. As if his son's happiness is measured on a scale. This made Ae unable to stand it anymore.
"I must be a charity."
Ae looked at the check indifferently, then looked up at the man who thought the money would buy everything. The man also raised his check higher in the air.
In the end, Ae reached for the check.
"Oh, smarter than my silly son..."
Ripppp
" !!! "
Ae tore the check up as if it were just a piece of paper. Then he stretched out his arm in front of the man opening his hand, and the paper scattered like a snowflake. Then Ae lowered his cold face, approached the window, and said to the other person in a sly tone. "Take your stinky money to the orphanage for charity! Many people there need money ... When you die, you will fall into hell. After all, you have done bad things to your wife and children ...Goodbye."
In the end, after nearly a minute of staring at the other person, Ae raised his hands again and said goodbye to him. Then, the young man who had just "educated " the elder turned and left. Leaving the other person in the car, watching Ae's departure with a sharp look .
"You are a stupid boy! Do you know who I am!"
Ae didn't care at all, his feet took him away quickly. Because he worried that if he would stay here longer he can't guarantee that he would not inflict harm on him.
Pete's father was in the same place, clutching his fist and slamming the steering wheel.
"Sure enough, as Deli said, it is you who made my son like this! I don't have a gay son! You will remember me!" In the end, he is not worried about what his son will become in society. He just worried that if people in the society know that their eldest son is a homosexual, they will think bad about him.
"Ae... Do you know? Your brother is successful!"
"Hmm?"
"Hey! The home improvement project that I told you about, we are bidding on the budget submitted by the home appliance group! We can take it after we finish. Going to be a big project!"
"Well."
"When we make more money want to travel to another country? I want to see how little Yim is wearing a sweater."
"Okay."
After returning from Pete's house, Ae had a lot of thoughts. He didn't notice anything but his thoughts and himself. His older brother thought he would be happy for him as his family member. But he found after he told him good news his brother only said one word. He frowned.
"What happened to him Nat?"
He waited until his brother went back to his room upstairs. His brother turned his head to look at his wife who was holding their child.
"Hey, you ask me but how should I know? Little Yim, do you know what happened to your Uncle Ae?" The little girl, who was just three years old, giggled and shook her head.
"I don't know what happened to Ae, but I know what happened to my mother!"
"Well?" Dad was puzzled and looked confused. He turned his head and stared at his wife. He didn't know what happened to his wife. After seeing the little girl, she put her little hand on her mother's stomach.
"Husband, you have good news ... I also have good news ..."
"Don't tell me ..." Oh widened his eyes, looked down at his wife's stomach, and then glanced at his wife's face, with a shocked expression. Then he heard his daughter say it straight out; " I am going to have a younger brother or sister Dad~"
"Yes! Yes!!! My efforts are not in vain!!!"
"Husband, you are quiet. Or did you know already!" He had already forgotten about his good news. He hurried to hug his wife and daughter, Nat almost shouted. Oh was kissing his wife's face numerous times before he was willing to let go.
"I will come back soon."
"Dad - Mom - I get to be a daddy again!!" After that, the man who looks serious (like his brother) has quickly crossed the railing and ran to the restaurant next door. The shouts shocked the guests who were eating at the store, and everyone turned their heads to stare at him. And the person who will be a grandmother is holding a spatula for cooking. She hears it and shouts in a lively tone: "We already knew it! You are the last one to know."
"Oh! How can this be? No, no! Ae shouldn't know... Ae, have you heard it? You get to be an uncle!"
Upon hearing his mother say this, the excited father rushed to the store door. Raised his head and ran up toward the younger brother.
Ae showed his head from the window, raised his hand and made a gesture to indicate that he knew it, and then disappeared into the window immediately. Let my brother be alone, with a look of joy.
When Ae came back from the window, his hands squeezed the joints together and he threw himself down on the bed. Although he is happy that his brother won the bid and will get a second child, there is only one thing in his heart and mind, Pete.
To be honest, he doesn't know what Pete's father will do. He is not sure whether he made him anger with his speech today, so he will do more harm to Pete or Pat.
"Oh ... no matter what happens, I won't break up with you!" Finally, Ae secretly repeated it to himself, then put his hand on the left side of his chest. Even he can't believe it, he has become someone who loves... two years ago, he couldn't imagine it. The Ae, who often yells at friends saying "there is no one in the opposite sex that interests him" is already dead. From now on, only Ae, who has loved a boy named Pichaya is left, he can't survive without him.
"I love you. I can't lose you." The last time Pete those people kidnapped Pete it helped him understand that ... if there is no Pete, his life will become an empty world.
A week passed, and Ae and Pete spent the rest of their lives in peace. Everything fell into a calm...It was too quiet for a man who clearly expressed his dislike of his son.
He did not meet them, he did not call. There was no bloodshed. Everything was quiet and abnormal, and Pete was a little worried.
"Nothing will happen, don't think about it."
[I can't help but think about it Ae. My father won't easily admit defeat. Before my mother's business, he was entangled for months. So I was afraid that he would appear again, and it would lead to even more disasters.]
Ae listened and thought about it. Although it has been a week, he never told his boyfriend that his father had wanted to send him away with money because he didn't think it was important.
The point is that he never thought about charging the other party a penny. Therefore, the reason why the other party's father disappeared was probably because he knew that he could not buy him with money.
[If anything happens to you, you have to tell me.] Pete repeatedly told Ae, making him grin.
"Well, if something goes wrong, I will tell you." If it is serious. The last sentence, Ae spoke to himself because he does not want the other person to worry about him.
Ae talked on the phone while carrying his schoolbag and turned into the alley where his house was. Because today is the weekend, he has to go home. During this time, he and Pete also negotiated not to go to the other's home, because they do not want to be someone's goal.
[Oh, help me to congratulate brother Oh. He is going to be a daddy again. Then do we want to buy some gifts for him?]
"Oh, it's just pregnancy, just pregnancy. What gifts ah? Never mind it! Wait to send until the baby is born."
Pete laughed listening to Ae. Pete also asked Ae if he knew what the child's gender was. How could he know it, it's only been two months, if he knew it would be great.
[ You are teasing me again. ]
"How can I, ah. Hang up, I'll call you late." Ae hangs up after the call, and then walks to the front of the house.
But his eyebrows were locked, because he saw the rolling shutters of the restaurant on the mother's side being pulled down. Because every Saturday is a business day, his mother doesn't close on this day. When he saw the hardware store on his brother's side is also locked, he felt even more strange.
"Don't say..." Ae squinted as he watched her pull the shutters down, and then he went up to the living room on the second floor.
"What happened?" He asked anxiously when he saw that the whole family was sitting around without saying a word, he was the only one that wasn't there. Then his brother, who was still immersed in joy a week ago, looked up at him and said to him; "Nothing, go upstairs."
"What is nothing? Your brother is no longer a child. Just tell me everything!" Ae immediately found that his head was not right, because everyone in the family seemed to want to stop and say, but it was like this, Ae could already make a guess... There must be something seriously big going on in the home. The whole family is facing each other.
"You tell your younger brother, he is no longer a child."
"But he is still in school, Dad. This child will definitely be unable to hold back." His brother pointed to Ae. But Ae sat down on the sofa, saying that if they don't talk, he won't go anywhere. His brother sighed helplessly and then sat down again.
"What happened?" Ae asked again, Nat sighed.
"It's a matter of bidding for a contract." Ae felt so strange that his brother was still happy about the matter a week ago and said that he would let the whole family prepare their passports.
"Things are like this. We passed the catalogue of the first batch of products. They reported that it was not the same batch at the time of the bidding. They also said that our products did not meet their standards. The other party said that we breached the contract, so they canceled with us. All the contracts we signed."
"Oh, but we have not made any mistakes." Ae firmly believes that his family will not be untruthful, and his brother will not be careless about sending customers the wrong things.
"Yes, we are all right, but the other party said that it is not the same model. All the products are not in compliance with their standard. They also said that we should use another product to repay for all the goods. But the point is, I have already invested a lot of money. This batch of goods is inside." This time brother Oh explained, and the sadness of the face was in stark contrast with the joy of the previous week. Ae deeply felt this.
"Isn't this playing us? "
"Well! But I don't know what to do." Brother responded with concern and continued to explain.
"I contacted a friend who is a lawyer. He said that we can sue them because we are not at fault. But the court needs to take time to judge, and when the result of the judgment comes out, it usually takes a long time ... but I already took the house to the bank for mortgage ... Then borrowed money from a loan shark." Ae was so shocked that he couldn't speak, watching his brother in front of his eyes rubbing his hair with his hands. My brother is a thoughtful person.
"You also know that the interest on usury is amazingly high..."
"Because I was very confident that the profit of this project would be very high. I just borrowed to do the first batch of goods. When I get the first payment, I would have money to pay off the loan sharks, and I have money to go into the second batch!! I didn't know that things would become like this!!!" His brother lost his mind and stunned him. Nat hurried to grab her husband's arm.
"Husband, calm down." Hearing his wife's reminder, Oh quickly raised his hand to apologize.
"Sorry Ae , I am just ...."
"Hey ~ don't say it." After listening to his brother, his hands rubbed each other, and then asked. "How much money did you spend?"
"There are three million now. The house mortgage has taken two million, and there are one million usury." Is this a coincidence? This amount is exactly the same as the amount someone gave him.
"Uncle Ae ~"
"Oh, what are you doing kid?" Just as everyone was worried about this, the little girl squinted and walked in, and her mother hurried up.
"It's too noisy, so I got up, Uncle Ae is back, I want to play with my uncle." Little Yim said with an innocent voice.
Her grandfather quickly said; "Ae, you should go play with Little Yim. We will continue to discuss things." Ae didn't want to listen to his Dad's words, but he also knew that in their eyes he was just a child. If he continued to stay he would not help with anything. So he had to reach out to hold the child, and then took the little niece upstairs. And his other hand, clenched into a fist. It was that man who did it! He deliberately forced my family into this situation!
Although Ae said nothing, and didn't think too much, but Pete knows his father is a horrible man, and his father will definitely act. His father would never be willing to give up. When he thought of this ...he began to worry. He must have done something, his father must have acted, just ... what exactly did he do?
At this point, his phone was ringing, Pete turned to look.
As soon as he saw the caller ID, his heart jumped, and the hand that stretched over to take the mobile phone was also shaking ...
"Hey, father."
[Do you think he will be willing to give up a lot of money, for a person like you? Pete?]
"Father What do you mean ah?" Pete asked cautiously, smiled after listening to the other side.
[I will teach you now, this world runs on money. If you are with Deli, you will not encounter such a thing!]
"What did you do father? What did you do? Tell me!"
[Hey! Go and ask that kid yourself!]
"Father!!!" Pete hasn't got an answer yet, and the other party has already hung up. He shouted, and the hand holding his phone shivered, and trembled, making him feel faint ... what did his father do to Ae.
Then Pete turned to look at the clock on the wall ... more than ten o'clock in the evening. He didn't think much, Pete grabbed his wallet and cell phone, then ran downstairs to get the car keys and drove to Nontha. He didn't know what his father did, but he just wanted to see Ae was still safe.
"What else can I do!"
The hour hand on the clock points to the number 12 , but it seems that the whole family is not in the mood to fall asleep. At the same time, although Ae's room was lit up, he was putting his hand on his forehead and staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open. He doesn't know what to do next.
Yes, he feels deeply guilty about bringing trouble to his family, but does he want to accept Pete's father's money so rudely? "Sorry, brother, I can't do it." The family-loving man muttered in his mouth, rubbed his hair, and then sat up.
In fact, Ae would like to tell his brother about the person who is behind all this. But he is afraid that his family will not accept Pete, fearing also that his family will not accept the relationship between them.
This layer of concern makes this fearless person afraid to put all this out on the table.
If his family wants them to break up, he might fly away with Pete.
"What should I do, what should I do?" Ae sighed and looked at the night sky outside the window. When his eyes fell in the middle of the road dotted with starlights, he saw a man standing next to a luxury car. He jumped up and put his face close to the window.
"Pete!" Ae hurriedly opened the window and shouted out. At this time, Ae was holding the phone. When he heard the sound, he quickly looked up.
The handsome face seems to be crying, Ae hurriedly shouted again: "Stand up! Don't move now! I am coming down soon!"
Then Ae ran downstairs and his whole family was shocked by his movement. They quickly turned on the lights and they saw it ...
Two boys hugging each other at the door.
