13th June 2021
I've always thought that my father was a good person. I was wrong the whole time. It was a normal Sunday, I had lain down on my bed and read some boring book for school when I heard my mother's loud scream and shoot of gun.
"Where the hell is whole security team?!"
Someone shouted. I was shocked and scared. What on earth just happened? I got up from bed and without thinking ran out of my room heading down the stairs to see what happened and check if anyone is hurted. When I was on the last step of stairs I felt everyone's eyes on me. Parents looked at me, four well-builded men that just came in almost buried a hole in my face. My mother was crying and her husband was holding her close to his chest. I saw ruined furniture all around the living room. It looked like a military training ground after whole day of exercises.
My mother was looking at me with eyes full of tears. Her beauty was covered by fear and stress, dress that she was wearing was crumpled.
"Go back to your room, Win"
I heard my father's voice but I was in a frenzy so the words didn't quite reach me and I was still standing there.
'what happened?"
I asked, but maybe i didn't want to know.
'win, please, go to your room"
When I heard my mother's weak voice I suddenly looked at her again. I gave up. I listened to her and turned to go up.
When I dissapread that no one on the ground floor could see me I sat on step and tried to eavesdrop the conversation. They were pretty loud so I could hear them well. My father was furious. I didn't even know why. I had no clue what happened I only heard deafening sound of gun or something similar. I don't know anything about weapons. Even from there i could tell that the atmosphere was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Through the little gap between wall and stairs I saw the scene. A man in a black suit and perfectly fitting shoes stand there and his expression was cold as an iceberg. I thought my father is calm and composed towards his employees.
"Why did you let that bastard's people come into my house! Where were you?! You mustn't just let anyone come in without checking and getting my permission! Pack your stuff, you're fired"
I've never seen him that furious. For real.
"Arnold, make sure, they and their family never get job in my companies"
I blinked a few times more if it could help me understand Thai better. I sighed. I knew my family have a big companies worldwide, but I didn't think that being CEO gives power to shut people's whole family from working in every single one. That's insane.
I was so lost in thought that I almost got caught. When I heard someone's steps slowly approaching me I quickly got up and I started quickly going up the stairs. When I entered my room I immediately climbed on bed. Without even change my clothes I covered myself with cozy cover.
Minutes passed, then it changed into hours. I tried to sleep, but I wasn't sleepy at all. It was almost four in the morning. Outside sky started changing colors, sun slowy rises but my sleep haven't come.
I always woke up at seven, but today I didn't even close my eyes. After a few breaths I sat on edge of big bed that i had and got up and went to take a shower. I was exhausted after no sleep night.
Hot water ran down my skin, leaving red marks, but i didn't care at all. My mind was full of senseless thoughts. For example I had an English test that day and I completely forgot about this. Perfect start of the day.
''Damn.."
I rubbed my face with my hand.
I got out of the shower, quickly wrapped a towel around my waist and left the bathroom. I approached big wardrobe to look for the uniform that I had to wear everyday.
After leaving my room I went to the kitchen to eat some cereals for breakfast. It was easy to make and delicious. Zero disadvantages.
I ate the breakfast and I was ready to go to the school, but firm voice stopped me. I turned to side where voice was coming from and I saw middle-aged, tall man wearing a perfect black suit.
"Where do you think you're going?''
I was confused, of course I was heading school. I bowed slightly with respect.
"Of course school, father''
The man looked at me. I squinted my eyes.
"You're not going anywhere, it's too dangerous"
Huh? Is is a war? Epidemic? Tsunami?
No way, no school today? Perfect!
''What do you mean? Is there something I should know?"
"No, there is nothing you should know about" his voice was still firm.
Mhm.. So there is something dangerous that I shouldn't care about. This old man think I won't be freaking out? Of course I'm gonna be in panic. Damn..
I've been freaking out whole day long! No one dared tell me anything. God know how long it's gonna be like this. I can't even meet my friends! I was bored as hell, even video games were boring.
I decided to go to the kitchen for something to eat , I was wearing my AirPods and listening to music. I didn't really care about the artists, just listening to music that sound good. I was vibing a little to the sounds of guitar in my AirPods while going down the big marble stairs. Whole floor in that house was marble. I was crossing the garden because it was shorter way to the other side of the house. I passed a lot of servants that were most women in comfortable sets of clothes.
I was sometimes wondering if they weren't tired of that hard work for someone like my father. He was demanding everything look perfectly. Even the vases had to be placed evenly on the cabinets.
"Damn!''
Of course I must have tripped over some rug at the entrance and lose balance. But instead of fall on the hard marble floor I someone's big hand on my chest. Huh? Am I already in heaven and the God is holding me in his big, father's hug? I looked at the person who caught me. It was a tall young man probably in his early twenties. He was wearing white shirt, a black vest and in the same color suit trousers. His hair was carefully arranged.
"Be careful, young master"
What on earth? Who was that?! What is he doing in my house? And how did he call me? young master?
"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing in my house? Why are you here?"
I shouted really loud.
"I'm master Ratanaporn's personal bodyguard"
I squinted my eyes, not really believing him. Then why weren't he with him and just walked around the house. That's suspicious.
