Chapter 1: That Day

*Fah's POV*

"Before you act, listen. Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try."

By: Ernest Hemingway.

I am scrolling up and down on Facebook right now cause Im very bored and have nothing to do.

If I'm not mistaken. I already spent the whole day for just browsing my social media accounts because of boredom.

It's weekend today and I have no projects and assignments to do. So that's why I'm here in my room for the whole day lying in my bed while browsing the internet.

I can't just go outside the house without my parents permission. They're very strict when it comes to me. Every time I have to go outside the house, my Yaya always there beside me.

It feels like I have no freedom.

But its okay. Im used to it anyways. I knew that my parents were just worried for me. Im an only child and I understand why they're very protective.

"..You shout it out but I cant hear a word you say..."

I almost jump in surprise when my alarm clock suddenly rings.

Grrrrr. Time to eat for dinner.

Because of my alarm clock I'm already aware that its already 6:00 in the evening.

I force myself to get up even if my body doesn't cooperate. I'm really sleepy but I have to eat. My mom always says that I have to take care of myself so that if she will die, atleast I can eat alone already.

Grrrrr. seriously? Why am I thinkin' 'bout this?

I lazily go to downstairs and saw yaya Beth preparing the food for the dinner.

"Good evening yaya beth" I greeted her and smiled while rubbing my eyes to see clearly.

She then turned to me and smiled.

"Good evening "koon chai" (Thai word. Use to call someone that comes from a royal/rich family) the dinner is ready already".

She guide me to the table and pulled a chair for me to sit.

But, Wait. It feels like there's missing.

"Uhm. Yaya Beth. Where's Mom and Dad?" I asked when I noticed that there's just one plate on the table.

"Uh. Your Mom and Dad is still at work. They'll be home late tonight. "They said earlier that You don't have to wait for them. You can eat first and sleep."

"A-uhm. Okay" I nodded and forced a smile. But deep inside it hurts. They'll be home late tonight? tsk. They always come home late. Im always eating dinner with yaya Beth. Even though Im already used to it. I'm still always hoping that even once in a month they can have a dinner with me.

"I will take care of the dogs first and I'll be right back." Yaya Beth interrupted my thoughts.

"Ah. Yes. Sure. I can wait."

* * * * * * * * * *

I almost forgot that Im not in my room.

I just feel sleepy while watching Sherlock Holmes here in the living room.

I sigh. And stand up to off the TV.

I darted a glance at the wall clock and found out that its getting late already.

11:34 P.M.

What time they'll be arrive tonight? Its getting late already. I'm worried that they can't get enough sleep.

I touched my left side chest when I felt I'm not breathing normally.

I dont know why but every time I think about something emotional my chest gets tightened and I felt difficulty in breathing.

Why am I feeling like this?

After a couple of seconds my eye sight getting blurry and blurry.

I just remembered. Before I collapsed I shouted the name of my second Mother.

"Yaya Beth" and then I let the darkness cradled me in its arms.

* * *

I still remembered that damn day!

The very unforgettable day in my life.

The day that lots of things that I just realized in my life.

That day. When I opened my eyes and just by seeing the unfamiliar ceiling already alarmed me that I'm not in my room. My chest was still heavy---wait.

Where am I?

If I'm not in my room where am I?

Even if my body were still exhausted I force myself to get up.

And wait. What's this? I just noticed that there's a Dextrose beside me and it was connecting to my....N-nose?

No... What does it means?

My thoughts were interrupted when I heared a doorknob noise.

And I saw a not too young woman wearing a white shirt and skirt. She's holding a big notebook? log book? I'm not sure. I don't know what it is.

She looks very surprise and glad when she saw me staring at her.

"I'm glad you're already awake Mr. Tanapon." she gladly said.
