Part 13



"Don't tell dada.." Sarawat spoke while still looking at his encyclopedia.


Perth eyebrows furrowed trying to figure out why a five-year-old is so intelligent.


Perth and Techno took a pause and they quickly understood what Sarawat wanted to say. Plan would cry a sad river when confronted or doubt arises on his parenting skills.


But out of the ordinary, the three eyes moved to Phukong who was smiling while coloring his book, and his legs swung from left to right.


With a smile on their face,  three of them sat surrounding the boy while placing a slice of cake on the table.


"What is Phu going to say when your dad asks you what you did today??" Techno said as he moved the plate from left to right.


Phu's eyes moved to and fro the same as the cake in his sight moved.


Phu smiled and like a good boy he dictated.


"Phu has a happy day. Handsome Uncle saved Phu and Sarawat from the evil teacher. The same handsome uncle also saved Phu from getting hit by a car.."


Techno's eyes bulged and he looked at Sarawat.


"Why was he getting hit by a car???"


"AAAhhhh....." Sarwat avoided the strong gaze.


"You kids are daring.."Techno sighed.


"Just sort out this one...Uncle!!! This won't happen again."Sarawat said with a strong determination.


Perth sighed and then the team of three(Sarawat, Perth, and Techno) started brainwashing the naive seedling.


Techno sat with Perth drinking during the night.


"Plan took kids home??"Perth asked in a depressed voice.


"Hmmm.."Techno laid back on the seat.


"The kids...especially Sarawat.."Techno spoke with some hesitation


"They are doing fine."Perth broke the sentence.


"I think it's too much for Sarawat. He acts in a way to mature. It's not okay." Techno interjected.


"He is just a clever and bright child..." Perth crossed Techno again.


"You know that's not it. Sarawat is scared just like us. He is scared that something might trigger Plan again."


"That happened only once," Perth spoke in a high pitch.


"He had a mental breakdown. He didn't step out of his room and broke all sources of light. He didn't eat nor talk. He just sat under the bed."Techno broke it again.


"He is okay now. The doctor said may be due to stress it was triggered. He even carries stress-relieving pills too. We are not going to tell this to his father behind his back." Perth's voice was affirmative as he slammed the glass on the table.


"I am not saying that. I am just saying maybe we can just.."


"Just indirectly tell Plan to change the school. I think it's the school's fault.. I will find the best school brochure for them." Perth took the last sip in one breath and walked away.

There was a chilling dark aura surrounding the car. Max sat in the front seat while Mean sat at the back.


Max was busy analyzing the possible way his employer is going to make him suffer.


Memories of the past few hours flashed through his eyes.


Scene1: After Phukong and Sarawat had put some food on Mean's plate. Putting the egg roll in his mouth. It felt so right to Mean. For a second Max believed that he saw warmth in Mean eyes but it was gone the next moment as Other students followed the suit and put some food on Mean's plate. A boy even put a half-eaten cookie on Mean's plate. The boy also sneezed putting some of the particles in the rice and Mean's face turned green. He has this urge to vomit out everything. Max has to laugh it out and say that the Principal has called Mean out of the class so it didn't get any more awkward.


Mean had vomited as soon as he got out of that to a flower pot.


Max slumped on his seat thinking about it.


Scene 2: Next photoshoot was at a playground where kids were playing and Mean had to play along. Phukong was building a sandcastle while Sarawat built it with him as well as guarded the castle. Mean was still talking with the teacher then. Few boys approached Phukong and asked him if he would play football with them. Phukong disagreed and went back to building the castle.


"Why won't you play football?? "


Sarawat asked in a confronting tone.


"I want to play with you.." Phukong replied with a smile and went back to stacking sand in the form of a square. Max knew that Mean hated dirt but he watched as Mean stepped toward the sand basket where both the brothers were busy building the castle. Max's eyes widened when he saw Mean kneeling with the kids. The assistant was busy clicking photos of Mean, while Max slapped himself hard. 'It's not a dream!! He is sitting in a dirt field.'


He saw the kids and Mean talked a lot for 15 minutes.


'Why is my boss entertaining those kids??'


The scenery was short-lived as a ball landed on sand and Mean was covered with dirt and sand. He ended up sneezing and scratching his body.


Max looked back from his seat toward Mean who has red rashes forming on his body.


'Reason for my resignation...I screw up big time..'


Mean on the other hand was dissolved in his own thought. Feeling relaxed and lips curled up a little while he scratched his arms which had turned red due to his allergy.


Max felt like jumping from the running car when he saw Mean smiling.


'He is going to kill me!!!'

Next day


Plan looked around the office but couldn't find Pakorn anywhere. Slumping on his seat he looked at the file of Mew's case. He has been called upon by Mew's mother. Entering a posh private restaurant he was confronted with a woman in her mid 40's. Mew's mother was sitting there. Her intentions were as clear as it could get. No words were spoken.


Plan being a busy body took a seat on his own with a smile on his face.


"I am glad...you contacted me...there is something that I wanted to talk about..."


His sentence was cut in the middle as a stack of money was placed on the table. Plan was in the middle of taking out a file from his bag. He stopped


'What is happening?? Why does it look like the scene from soap drama where mother-in-law throws money in the face of a pitiful girl and tells her to leave....'


"All you have to do is back out from this case and let Miss Ploy take over it..." An assistant by the woman's side spoke up in a little firm but humble tone.


'What the fuck is happening?? Does Mother-in-law want to make Ploy take over the case?


Mew definitely doesn't want her?? What the fuck this mother-son duo wants.'


Analyzing everything while putting the file back into the bag.


Before he could say anything.


The woman spoke again as she saw a smile on Plan's face.'Maybe this boy could be the perfect piece.'


She signaled again to put more money on the table.


Plan was a bit dazed looking at it now. "You don't need to worry. If Ploy doesn't take over the case too. All you could do is back out at the most important moment and I will arrange everything else."


He smiled "If that's what my employer wants.." one who loses temper won't be able to see through the game...Okay if you guys want to play. I will play with you.


He took the money and walked out while smiling.

Sipping his wine and sitting in his secluded area while his eyes again searching for something interesting.


A woman lapsed into his arms "Babes, what made you so happy??"


Before he could reply, the front door was opened with a kick.


"Sir, we tried to stop him..."


'Here comes the interesting thing..'


Mew flicked his hands and dismissed the other people present.


Plan sat down while gasping for some air.


"A glass of water.."


Mew smiled, " We serve only alcohol.."


Furrowing his brows, searching his bag for his extra water bottle, and drinking the lukewarm water.


Then throwing the bundles of money on the table.


Mew smiled "You met my mother.."


"Wait a minute there is more.." Plan smiled. Took out his file work and placed it on the table very gently.


"What is it...??"


"Your soul.." with a buddha smile he replied.


"Just tell me directly..."


Plan smiled " You were staging everything from the start.. All those accidents and people you hurt. Have been staged by you. Just to get the money out of your family...There have been no victims at all. There has always been an accomplice....So do the girl in this case. The one who made the call."


Mew smiled more brightly as if satisfied with the new thing he found while shopping.


"Damn!! You are an intelligent one.....Keep going why did you stop..Tell me more"


Plan sighed and then continued. "But this time something went wrong...You baited a hungry greedy fox..."


Resting his head on his arm support he looked at Plan with fascination."Hmm..."


"So how much does she want this time??"


"1 billion..."


"I told your mother that I would follow my employer's demands...So what do you want??"


"My mother...." Mew was about to open the topic with a sigh


"Aaaah...I didn't hear it..." Plan patted his ears while screaming. "Sorry I can't hear you talking about your family matter....Just tell me what do you want..."


"Just do as she wants."


"Okay...Then I will be taking this money as compensation for the loss you did.."


Looking at the bundles, Mew's eyes furrowed "She offered you less...the lawyers before you were paid more.."


Black lines appeared on Plan's face. This mother son duo is one in a million
