"You can stay here , but you have to do it."
Palm's mother , named Maem , has a pure appearance from the South of Thailand with big brown eyes and short dyed hair. She looks quite fierce but when she smiles , she is quite gentle. So , this so called safe house is actually a cheap motel opened by Paml's mother for the tourism business
"Yes"
"Go to room 201 and rest for a while. There's something i need to do , i 'll ket you know."
Her hotel is and old building , the ground floor has the reception , the owner's room and the kitchen. The second floor has about 3 4 rooms depending on the area. Overall pretty dull , as simple as as cheap place. The average room rate is about 500 bath a night , including as simple breakfast tortillas , milk , juice. Toilet and bathroom are shared. Most here are foreign toursit
"Can you stay?"
Palm asked after the two carried their belongings up to the room. Although room 201 is bigger than the others , it only has 1 bed and not a king size bed. This meant that he and i had to be quite cramped together. But in the current situation , it is not very safe to sleep alone
"It's okay , i've been in an even tougher place."
Nuengdiao smiled softly. He thought about how passed out in the closet "Can i can uncle Chanon?"
He changed the subject , suddenly worried about his mother being shot. Meanwhile , both phones were left at home at erase all traces. Palm took out a keypad cell phone that could only answer calls and send sms
"No. Dad told me not to call. IF you're worried about khun Tanya , try searching the internet , maybe you'll find it."
The two quickly packed their. bag , washed themselves clean , put on clothes left by tourist , and ran downstairs to borrow Palm's mother computer. The woman just lightly lit a cigarette and smoked it without asking the two of them what to borrow
"Not available"
Nuengdiao said while trying to search for his mother's name but couldn't find any news. This made him even more worried. The absence of any news shows that everything has been covered up by some force. And moreover , why din't Chanon contact them
"Then go to bed first, we will see tomorrow"
Nuengdiao could do nothing but nod , obediently entering the room. The bed of the hotel is quite tight , making it difficult for both of them to manage. This feeling was very strange , because he was not used to touching other people
"Are you uncomfortable?"
A hoarse voice echoed in the darkness
"No , im just worried about mom"
Among millions of emotions. He chose to answer only one and something seemed to connect him to Palm. The person next to him seemed to be the same as him , worried about his father. No one knows what happened after than. Can Chanon handle it?
Palm didn't know what to say , just hugged him gently and patted his head encouragingly. Nuengdiao gently moved himself to lie on the other's chest , borrowing the warmth that he din't know who belonged to r was possessed by someone
"I used to lie on my uncle like this when i was a kid. He said that if you're scared , hug someone and you'll feel comforted."
Nuengdiao tears kept falling. What fate had brought him and Palm so close together. If it weren't for the person in front of him , he might not have been able to breathe right now
"Mom will be fine , right?"
The son asked in low voice , even though he knew that the other party would not have an answer. But the heavy pressure made his heart hurt so much that he couldn't bear it alone
"I do not know"
Palm slowly storked the smaller body in his arms. "But i know khun Nuengdiao will be fine."
The words made him think. Nuengdiao is still a member of the clan regardless of whether his mother is alive or dead , one day he will come back and make them pay for what they did to his father and mother
"Thanks"
Nuengdiao doessn't remember when he fell asleep. He only know that in a foreign land there are still people beside him , a miracle that cannot be forgotten. Nuengdiao feels warm. Palm as a friend , brother , bodyguard. Even that warmth was like someone he longed for all his life. He burried himself in ferocious dream in a peaceful shell
That nighht , Nuengdiao had no nightmares
.
.
Both are dressed in a weird style. Because they can only choose poorly worn clothes combined with weird items in the wardrobe. These are Muay Thai pants , i love Surat Thani shirt , turtleneck and ripped jeans , etc. The two have chosen the most comfortable looking clothes to wear because no one carries a lot of cash. Moreover , withdrawing money from ATM is quite dangerous because of revealing information
"Two day s ago there was a break into the house of the Kiattakulmaetee family...."
The sound coming from the TV at the front desk immediately attracted the attention of 2 people. He rushed to turn up the volume to listen. The image above it was the traces of the fight , the blood , the blurred image of his mother. The police are wearing gloves going around to get the evidence left behind
"Five people died , one seriously injured is khun Tanya KIattakulmaetee the owner of the leading real estate company in the country. She is still in a critical stage and is being monitored by a doctor. If more information is available. What's new we will report more..."
The news mad Nuengdiao's heart flutter. Several reporters were trying to squeeze in to interview the doctor who was treating her. It was the 3rd day and his mother was still lying there , he was relieved that his mother had not left him , but on the other hand he was extremely worried
"According to the preliminary investigation from the police , the current suspect is Chanon Jannaloy , the family's driver is injured. Judging based on fingerprints and relatively thick bullet wounds. Prosecutors have now prosecuted him. Guilty of intentional murder. The suspect protested and asked for bail but was refused due to the seriousness of the case..."
Palm's face turned pale. He stared at the image on the TV that made Nuengdiao feel guilty. Chanon is being arrested by the police , although his hands are wrapped in cloth , everyone knows that there are cuffs underneath. Not being released on bail means that during this time , Chanon will have to go to ail until evidence is found.
"Palm , we have to go back"
"We are witnesses at the scene. We can prove his innocence."
"It's not okay."
His voice was painful to the point of breaking. He shed a little tear , but even so , his voice remained calm as he looked at his father
"If we go now , the person behind it all will plan to arrest him. He's been waiting for a long time."
Sitting behind the front desk , Maem quietly watched the two of them. She doesn't seem to worried about he ex husband being in jail
"We would like to interview the victim's relatives , khun Supakit Kiattakulmaetee" The sound of the TV once again caught the attention of the two
"My nephew has kidnapped on the day of the incident. I Don't want to blame anyone but the suspect's son is also gone. I was afraid they would demand ransom. I almost lost it. My sister in law , i can't lose my nephew anymore."
Supakit's tears flowed down like couldn't take it anymore
"Don't worry too much Palm. Your father is a bad person but that doesn't mean you are too. You can do whatever you want , just give me back Nuengdiao. Don't do anything to him. He's had enough."
Nuengdiao heart suddenly turned cold. You've never seen him this desperate. Palm's eyes looked at Supakit with hatred , it was clear that he was deliberately pushing Palm into the dead end. There's no evidence that Palm kidnapped him , just ran away together. Come to think of it , the mole Chanon mention was Supakit?
"Am i living with a kidnapper and gangster's son?"
The owner of the hotel spoke leisurely , as if nothing had happened. Fortunately , the media did not publicize the photo of the two
"We have to go back"
"Cannot"
His voice was hoarse with strained tone. His eyes gazed into the infinite space
"My father is not wrong , he will prove his innocence no matter what. The most important thing now is Nuengdiao safety. If you have any fate , they will take everything from you."
"Aunt Maem , lend me your phone."
The woman gave it to him to find some documents. After receiving it from her , he logged out of Maem account and then into his mother account. He had always been able to access everything from Tanya cell phone but never thought of using it today. He set up the search and then zoomed in on the coordinates
"Uncle Supakit's house."
The person holding the phon trembled. I have no reason to keep your mother's phone. If he wanted to find a clue about the real culprit , he would have to hand it over to the police but he didn't. So the only reason is that Supakit is the one behind it all
Palm immediately asked him. Nuengdiao nodded slightly
.
.
Nuengdiao and Palm started working as waiters in the hotel. Something Maem had requested when they arrived. Even though Nuengdiao family assets are billions , he still has to go to work with a salary of 300 bath/ day She just shook her head and laughed out loud. Palm volunteered to take over their jobs , but Nuengdiao refused , saying he couldn't stay like this for the rest of his life
Work lasted from early morning to 2pm. They need to prepare breakfast for the guests. Actually , its not much because its jut simple things , but you have to do everything like cut fruit , add water , add dry food , bake bread , wash dishes. At first , Palm just sighed because he saw that the wam boy was bit clumsy. But as time went on , things gradually got into orbit
From 10 am to 2pm is cleaning time
Guests will usually check out during that time , so the task will be to bring the drab , pillow and towel to wash , dry , and iron. Some days without guests would sit still an turn on the TV , smelling the lingering smell of Maem cigarette smoke
"Look this."
Nuengdiao said as they were going to the market to buy more fruit for breakfast. They passed a small restaurant inside a chinese temple. There is an announcement for those who can play music and will pay per view
"No way. We still have work to do." His eyes showed concern but he remained stubborn
"It's already two o clock in the afternoon. We can go out."
"So what will nuengdiao do with this money?"
"I want to buy a new phone , can be registered with aunt Maem's account"
He shyly said. Because the only happiness he can find now is an old computer. Watching TV is boring , so he wants to buy a device that can listen to music and watch videos , without being too expensive
"But do you see a piano in here?"
"There's that electronic organ" He pointed to the instrument "Its like a piano but the structure is different , the sound will be different. If you play some simple chinese music , it's fine."
Palm finally agreed to follow him. The restaurant said it would hire them to play chinese music from 8 pm to 8 pm. from thursday to saturday 500 bath / day. Neungdiao nodded excitedly. This was his first time playing since they left Bangkok. If you play 3 day a week like that , 2 weeks can be enough to buy a cheap phone
"The restaurant is closed on Mondays. If you two want to practice , you can come check it out first. If you have any questions , please call me." The restaurant manager spoke briefly
Neungdiao excitedly counted down the time to complete the work. The two of them went through the temple together. Saying that they came here to practice. The temple guard gave them a shortcut to the shop. He turned on the light , the atmosphere of the bar was quiet and empty
"Find a seat. Let me take a look. It won't be long."
Palm nodded. He knew he couldn't be of much help , so he pulled up a stool and sat down. Nuengdiao loves to play the piano , it's a hobby that makes him feel like he is free from the mundane. Since coming here , i can only sing softly in the shower but now my fingers are touching the keys.
"Khun , what song would you like to hear?"
He gently leaned back in his chair , smiling like he was looking at hundreds of listeners "I dont't know much about chinese music"
"Don't know yet?"
"That day i only heard the song that Nuengdiao played."
He suddenly remembered Ben. I don't know how he is now , is he happy or sad , is he still smiling like before. Nuengdiao didn't say anything but ran his fingers over the keys. Even though it's not a solid as a piano , it's still worth it at this point
Like a flamboyant couple during the difficult years
Who can Escape the pool of human suffering? A couple in the middle of a world full of flowers existing in the world is already a miracle
No need to fly to the blue sky just keep sleeping gently
It's like an endless overlapping picture
The music wasn't over yet but Nuengdiao got up at the same time as Palm. They walked behind , Palm's left hand grasping Nuengdiao right hand as if there was a giant gravity. In the quiet space , the two people slowly moved their bodies , their eyes looked at each other with bright rays of light
They are like flying phalaenopsis wings , meeting each other at bad time but still clinging to each other to share difficulties. Both of them didn't say it out loud , but they still understood the other's intentions. He realized that someone is still there when he falls down. From music clubs , from abandoned buildings to ruined temples. The person was , is coming and is still here , right next to you
As if there was a spell bestowed on them , their lips lightly touched. Nuengdiao knows how much he longs for the person in front of him. Palm is the whole , is his inseparable life. He didn't know where or when it started , but now he found it. The man in front of him was not a stranger , but someone who could heal his wounds . No matter how scary , become relieved
They don't know why they want each other so much. But deep in their hearts they know it's an inseparable destiny. The thread that connects them is so strong that even the distance between two hearts can't be separated
