"Peem, do you have anything to tell your father?"

Wiboon asked while he and his child were helping to water the plants on a long vacation. It would be a month since Peempad had returned to the main house. He moved some of his belongings after Jakkapad returned to France on a business trip. Wiboon thanked his nephew in his heart. At least for the fact that he helped him bring Peempad back to sleep here giving him more time to spend with his child. Even though there are not many holidays at the same time.

"Why did dad ask like that?" Peempad turned to his father fully. The hand holding the watering hose dropped as it sensed the strange atmosphere. It's like ... about to be forced to confess about something.

"Dad just thought that Peem had something to say."

"Nothing..."

"Parents are always looking at their own children. Even if they don't tell them anything, they always look after them with concern." Wiboon put the hose down before stepping in front of his only son and staring at the beautiful eyes that were given by his mother, stunned. "Even though I already know ... sometimes I still want to hear clearly from the mouth and if I am still important enough for my child to seek advice. Dad would be very happy."

Wiboon already knew that Peempad was a responsible child. However, he would not immediately abandon this place even though the heart was slipping along with his own Phi'. He endured looking at the child making a lonely face; as if missing someone for months. He was eating or working normally, but he didn't want his child to feel bad for even a second as a father.

"Peem just ... misses him," Peempad admits in a languid voice. His eyes dropped even though they wanted to control their emotions.

"It's because of the past, right?"

"It's..."

"Because Peem had been thrown away once. However much you trust this time but you can't help but fear. You're like that, right?" Wiboon asked in a soft voice. A large hand raised gently stroking his young son's head. This child is a memory stick. Whenever he gets hurt and bruises because of anything, he will hold onto it and refuse to let it go. When encountering a similar incident, he brought back old memories as well and because of that, he was always worried about the child.

"Peem believes that Phi' Jakk will return ... but Peem is afraid that someone will try to take him away."

Fearing that someone would take him away and disappear like before leaving with many years of pain and bruising. That time Peempad was young, so he could endure. But now, not anymore ...

If Phi' Jakk disappears again, he would ...

"Peem, listen to dad." Wiboon lightly touched his son's shoulder in order to grab his attention. "If he wants to be next to Peem, even if there were hundreds or thousands of obstacles, he would return. He once reluctantly left his child. But then one day, didn't the road lead him to meet you again?"

"Father ..."

"Dad was in the same situation as Peem... the difference was that she didn't want to be with dad. Therefore, even without any obstacles, if you are meant to go, you have to go anyway." He never thought of bringing up the woman's story to her son. Because not only will it remind Peempad of the story that had been abandoned but it also would reenforce his own pain. At this moment, Wiboon is already confident that this boy is strong enough and the most valuable thing that he can give his child is the teachings of real experience.
