Continuation of Part-37

_____________________________________

"Are you okay ?? "

He looked back at the old security guard. His eyes were disoriented. Tears were still flowing down without even him knowing.

"Child you are okay??"

Plan was still sitting inside his car in the parking station.

"You okay child??"

"I...."

He felt pain in his throat as he tried to form a sentence.

"I.."

The security guard looked him up and down.

His shirt buttons were broken. His fingernail was broken and blood was seeping out of it.

Maybe Plan hasn't noticed it yet.

The old guard touched Plan's shoulder and he treated back unconsciously. Plan finally took a deep breath.

"Would you mind stepping out of the car..."

"Why?"

"We can have a talk..."

"I am fine...I just had a bad day at the office....you should go on your own way...I will drive in a few minutes.."

The old man walked away.

Plan looked back at the guard and then at himself in the rearview mirror.

He silently closed the mirror of the car.

He looked at his phone emergency contact list.

Top of the list was Techno followed by Perth and then Arm.

He kept looking at the list and then closed it.

Plan stepped out of his car and looked at his reflection in the car window.

His hair was messy and sweat rolled down his forehead and tears rolled down his eyes.

His existence is totally out of order.

He took a deep breath and then looked at his phone again.

He dialed Max's number at last.

After 5 ring phone was picked up.

"This better be something serious....I am finally getting laid..."

"I....."

"Plan hurry up..."

Plan coughed a little and then took a deep breath.

"Have you ever handled any 'sexual harassment case of corporate' where the perpetrator was at a very high level..."

"How high are you talking about...Manager?? Or Team leader?? Director??"

Plan's throat felt heavier than required.

So he coughed a little and tried his best to stop his tears.

"Executive..."

"No...but why are you asking..."

"Just...I...someone I know wants to know....they asked me what steps should be taken"

"Okay.....so it was rape by an executive??....oho Plan you are stepping your game...After fighting the case for Mew you are famous now.... Are you going to become an activist or what??"

Max spoke up with Sass.

"Just answer the fucking question.."

"Okay don't get angry!! Just tell me was it rape??"

"No..."

Tears still trying to pour out of his eyes while he kept clearing his throat and taking deep breaths.

"Then what was it.."

"Person tried to attempt rape on him"

"Wait a minute!! You said a man, not a woman."

"Yes!! A fucking man was about to get rapped not a woman..."

"So a woman was trying to rape a man!!"

"No!! For fucking god's sake are you listening to me!!! A man tried to rape a man!! A fucking man!!"

Plan walked to and fro around his car while screaming at the top of his voice.

"Chill out dude!! Don't take it personally!! It's not like you got raped."

"...."

Plan stood still while taking deep breaths.

"You still there..."

"Yes..."

"Well I have never fought such a case....but it would be difficult to prove 'attempted rape'"

"Why??"

"Well was their witness???...it must have been a systematic abuse??....a long-term one or first time??....you have fought a sexual assault case...you know better than anyone else....how difficult it is to prove sexual assault when the person was not raped.........almost if both the parties are involved are male you can prove physical assault...for that power abuse also need to prove from the person above them.....plus you told me yourself an executive was involved.....so better luck finding witnesses....In corporate no one is no one else friend."

Plan almost laughed.

"But something wrong did happen......"

Max sighed on the other side.

"You need proof....witness is needed...or physical damage....You are a lawyer yourself.....

Why the fuck so late in the night you are calling me to ask about such an amateur thing....You are more than capable to handle such things..."

"....."

"Plan you still there...."

"....."

"Plan....Hello.....???"

"I am sorry to disturb you...."

The call abruptly ended while Plan looked at his reflection again.

As if his reflection was mocking him.

He could see it.

A female child 14 years old laughing at him.

'You thought you could change your life....You just have changed your body...nothing else has changed....you are weak as you were before...'

"No, I am not...."

Girl laughed again.

'What about the kids?? What about Techno?? Why don't you call Arm then....?? '

Plan stood still.

'Call Arm....The best lawyer in the country would help you!! '

Plan hands trembled.

'Hadn't he helped you before??' The little girl mocked him again.

Plan just looked back at his reflection.

'Plan call Arm....He would help you.....Like he helped you before with mom.....Mom and uncle Arm always made things better.'

Plan punched the car window with full force and the car alarm started vibrating.

Plan phone rang.

Techno was calling. He looked at his bleeding hand and then at the call.

He picked up the phone.

There was a pause on the other side. He could listen to Techno clearing his throat.

"Where are you??" His voice was dry.

Plan knew Techno probably cried due to their fight yesterday.

He was still trying to act normal probably worried

Plan took a deep breath and finally spoke up.

"I am sorry..."

That was all it took and he could listen to Techno sniffling on the other side of the phone.

Techno nodded his head while humming and thinking of words.

"I am sorry too...come back home now...I am waiting..."

Plan covered the listener on the phone and sat down on the floor while Techno spoke on the other side of the phone. He cried.

After taking a deep breath he relaxed, and removed his hand from the listener.

"I will be back..."

He got up and cut the call.

He relaxed and opened the backdoor of the car. Sheltered glass pieces were still on the seat. He removed them while looking for an extra shirt.. Still looking at the half-broken window of the car he fixed himself up. Looking at his bleeding hand he washed it with water and wrapped a hanky around it untidy. Brushed off the glass pieces from the driving seat.

He was still looking at the side mirror and fixing his hair when a piece of glass pricked his foot. He looked down. He was only wearing shoes on one foot while the other shoe was missing. This one was a fucking expensive pair of shoes. Techno specially bought it with kids when he found his first job. Sarawat and Phukong have also scribbled on the inside with animal pictures and their respective name. Telling Plan now the ugly black shoe looks more attractive.

He didn't have the energy to go inside the building so he drove away.

While driving back he processed what was happening. He reasoned it out.

'No one would hire a person who reports his own boss......what about the kids???...what about the money??... Salary??...... Kids are joining new schools....Techno is so excited about it.....The new school would be expensive....Techno is always managing the expenses at home...'

When Techno watched Plan at the door he was devastated to his core.

A thousand questions were thrown at him while Techno fixed him up.

"Well...I just had a small car accident...totally my fault..."

Techno teared up listening.

Plan has to coo him telling him he was not distracted due to their fight and ended up in such a situation.

Plan held Techno's cheek in his hand softly creasing them.

Techno took this opportunity to kiss Plan. Plan was pushed back for a second.

Shocked and repulsed.

Techno looked at Plan with concern.

"That hurts.."

Plan covered up quickly.

Techno laughed both of them listened to a little stomach-grumbling sound and looked toward the source.

Phukong hiding behind the couch.

Plan laughed at this embarrassing camouflage.

Phu has grown into a little dumpling ball, his stomach stuck out from behind the chair.

Techno forehead wrinkled.

"Everyone come out...while I am being nice....I am counting till 5..."

"1....2...3.."

Slowly everyone came out... Perth ,Sarawat and then Gun from different corners of the room.

"4...5"

Everyone looked embarrassed.

Techno sighed. Phukong still very much confident in his hideout snickered in silence.

"Phukong baby come out..."

Phukong still not gave in.

Sarawat rolled his eyes and spoke up while looking at Gun.

"I told you he is an idiot...we got caught because of him..."

Phukong still not giving up tried his best-haunted voice.

"Phukong is not hiding behind the chair....go look somewhere else..."

Now, this was just challenging their I.Q at this point.

Plan laughed and walked to the chair and picked up Phu in the air. Rubbing his stomach gently.

"We have grown a dumpling here..."

Phukong stomach grumbled again and all of them laughed.

Phukong has called Gun telling them their parents fought and they will be separated so he wanted Gun's dinosaur collection of toys. It's not like he was about to steal them. He just wanted that Gun should loan it to him for indefinite amount of time. Like 20 to 50 years.

Sarawat on the other hand scared the shit out of Gun while telling that he wanted to discuss visitation hours and custody with Gun because Perth was too dumb to understand.

He had left everything and drove back home as early as possible.

"You guys can chill out now..."

.

.

.

.

Plan was spooned by Techno while he used his arms as his pillow. Techno arms slowly crept on his waist as soft kisses touched his neck.

Plan back stiffened and his body tremble.

"Babe...."

Plan whispered to himself.

'It's just Techno...no one else....mine Techno..'

"You okay..."

"Hmm.."

Plan initiated kisses as if devouring Techno today.

.

.

Plan sighed.

He rubbed his body again and again as if he felt dirty.

Something couldn't be rubbed off. Rubbing his lips furiously that they ended up bleeding while previous wounds were also wet.

He cleaned himself and dressed up the wounds again. Techno was still sleeping in the bed after sex. Plan moved around the kitchen cleaning each every knook and cranny.

Gun almost had a heart attack when he found Plan in the living room looking for dirt. with a cleaning cloth.

Both of them looked at each other.

"I can't sleep..."

"Same here.."

Both of them stood on the balcony and watched the sunrise.

"You really love my brother a lot...."

Plan smiled.

.

.

.

.

Plan hummed a song and happily made breakfast. Techno was almost scared when he looked at him moving around the house.

"You are not going to the office today..."

"I quit..."

Techno gasped.

"I have never been so happy after quitting such a toxic workplace...."

Techno and the kids looked at the food weirdly.

"Common eat up.."

Perth just looked at it and then looked back at Plan.

"I have an early morning meeting.."

"I need to go to my early hazing activities.."

Not that Gun actually needed to go there after Arthit had made his life goal to make Gun's life as easy as possible.

Both of them ran away before someone else could say anything.

..

Few minutes later

A knocking sound broke the laughter sound on the dining table.

Plan rushed to door with a happy smile.

He opened the door and their stood Max, Pakorn and Ploy in their business attire with a business-like smile. One look at their faces and Plan knew the purpose of their visit.

He didn't feel any sense of betrayal. He was even surprised at how composed he was. Maybe his experience from early childhood had already done enough to him that such a thing doesn't matter anymore.

Sarawat ran to Plan.

"Dada...Phukong didn't eat his vegetables and put them on my plate.."

Pakorn, Max and Ploy were equally shocked at the sight of children rolling around the house.

It was their first visit to Plan's home. Three of them sat in the living room while the children looked at them as if they were animals in zoo.

Plan talked to Techno who smiled and took the childrens to the cafe.

"Let's go down and help Papa ....."

Both of them totally not interested in the food Plan cooked and walked away quickly after kissing Plan on the cheeks.

Max couldn't even look up to speak up.

Three of them looked at Plan.

"I would not like to talk about this inside my own home....we can schedule a meeting. I would be their with my own lawyer....My family doesn't know this...I would like to keep it that way.."

Ploy looked around the house. It was filled with photos and children drawings. Toys clutter could be seen in the corner.Ploy eyes roamed to the family photo with children in fancy dresses while his eyes roamed to the old man.

"Fuck shit!!! Why is Arm in your family photo??"

"Are you serious right now..." Pakorn whispered.

"Look at it....It's Mr. Arm..." Ploy spoke almost screaming.

Pakorn also looked up and saw the picture while Plan sat there sipping coffee. Max was the only one sitting opposite to Plan as his whole attention was on Plan.

"Mr. Pakorn and Miss Ploy you should leave right now to the office....and I would like you not to talk about this matter not with each other too.."

Plan was still sipping coffee.

Max looked back at him.

"I..."

"Doesn't matter no need to sugar coat...no need to feel sorry.....I will be resigning and he would be approving it....that's it!!.....I don't want anything more or less...you can leave the document for confidentiality .....I will cross-check it and sign it..."

Plan spoke nonchalantly while he tried to peel the apple skin. As if he was talking about the morning news with no emotion attached.

Max swallowed the lump that formed in his throat.

"He wants you back at work..... I know this sound crazy.."

Before Max could complete his sentence a knife was stabbed on the wooden coffee table.

Max almost lost their soul out of his body.

"I will resign and we would sign a confidentiality agreement....now get lost.."

Max sat inside the car with Pakorn on the driving seat while Ploy sat on the backseat.

They looked at the coffee shop where Plan childrens were playing with Techno.

Pakorn was the first one who spoke up.

"Did anyone knew he had kids??"

Ploy and Max looked back at Pakorn.

"I mean he is gay!! How the fuck he has kids?? Like are they his own??"

"He is just fucking impossible to talk to....you should thank good that you look good and have a charming personality otherwise woman won't give you an extra look.."

Ploy spoke in an annoyed tone.

"Just drive back.." Max held his head and instructed.

"I just want to say....this personality and looks were manufactured by Plan.." Pakorn spoke while they were on road.

Ploy sat silently.

"You know how thankful I was to Plan to not cry or ask for help....I was so much relived that he didn't ask me for help...didn't question me!! He didn't say 'Why the fuck are you on that side?' 'Would you be my witness?? Would you tell them I have been verbally abused ??'.."

Pakorn just sighed.

"His father is Mr.Arm....I knew he was kind of genius but who would have expected that...Do you think his father would be the lawyer he hire.??"

Max and Ploy looked back at Pakorn.

"What??" Pakorn asked innocently.

"Just wack his head once!!"

Three of them turned silent again. Max bit his lips. He was thankful too. He felt guilty for feeling the relief that he was not dragged into this mess. His mind raced back to the time when Plan has called him.

'What the hell he said...is corporate no one is no one else friend!!...You fucking piece of moron!!....'

Max punched the dashboard with full force, making a dent on it.

.

.

.

Plan sat their with Kang Cho while on the opposite side Pakorn, Ploy and Max sat.

"Mr. Plan would like this matter as confidential as possible...Nothing could be used against him in future...Nothing could be said to his family..."

Kang Cho spoke up.

"Mr. Plan is an important asset to our team. Mr. Mean would like to put this misunderstanding aside and would like Mr. Plan to join back the work..."

Max felt ashamed while he said those words. Plan gripped his hand into a tight fist.

Kang Cho could see Plan was getting agitated by the second.

"We would be filling case then now that problem can't be resolved inside office"

Mean entered the room at that very minute.
