The day of the event came and everyone was exited and was eager to play all the games. The school stadium was filled with a lot of cheer from all the parents and children inside stadium.

Every children in the stadium had a pair of parents, a mother and a father, except from Amaris himself. He was quite envious of those kids who came with a pair of parents and showing them off to everyone.

Noticing his son's expression, Arthit kneeled down on his height and faced him. Arthit gently stroke his son's hair and said, "Don't be sad alright?"

"But papa, all of the kids here have a pair of parents....except me." Amaris almost whispered the last two words. Arthit smiled and held both of his hand, "Papa is here, aren't I? Don't be sad anymore, alright?"

Amaris heave a deep sigh and nodded his head, "Alright." Arthit ruffled his hair that made Amaris smile, "That's my boy!" The father and son then laughed together. Arthit was finally relieved that his son was feeling a lot better and his mood was lightened up.

Soon enough, the event started shortly after and Kongpob arrived just in time. The first thing he did was to look for his son and Arthit and lucky for him, he easily spotted them amongst the crowd. Amaris was wearing a plain blue shirt and a simple cream-colored short while Arthit wore a blue button up shirt with a simple marron-colored pants and a shining Rolex watch.

The two couldn't see him since he was well-kept behind the crowd of people and jut only watched them from afar, silently cheering his son who participated in the first game. The game was to roll the small ball to the red line by blowing it using a straw.

The crowd also started to cheer for the children who was in the game and the stadium became noisier as the crowds' cheer became louder and louder. Some even don't know whose name was mentioned as the parents synchronized, cheering their children's name. Some kids who didn't participated also joined the cheer, cheering their friends to win.

The game finished and the winner of the first game was Amaris' classmate Nine followed by Amaris and then Jack, a student from a different section.

After the game finished, another set of participants was called and turned to play. Amaris who just finished, ran to his papa and happily watched the game and cheered for his classmates.

Kongpob was very happy to see his son and Arthit enjoying the event and could see his son's smile that resembles his. He was already contented in this way.

After three more sets of participants, it was time to play again a different game. This time, the game was a race. The participants have to ran until they reached the finish line in the opposite side then back to the starting line.

In this game, Amaris was leading to the game while the other kids were behind him. He was very athletic little kid and was really fast when it come to physical activities.

As Amaris was nearing to the finish line, he was accidentally tripped over by a kid. "Ouch!" Amaris fell on his back and the game stopped for a while and everyone's eyes was on Amaris. The kid who accidentally tripped him was standing Infront of him, looking apologetic.

"Amaris!" Kongpob and Arthit shouted together as they approach Amaris. The two sat on both sides of Amaris and  helped him. "Can you stand up?" Arthit asked. They tried helping Amaris to sat up and the kid held on his ankle, hissing in pain, "It hurts!"

Kongpob took a look on Amaris' ankle and says, "I think he had sprained his ankle."

"I am sorry." The kid apologized on Amaris. Amaris looked at him and calmly responded, "It's alright. You didn't do it in purpose anyway."

Kongpob then lifted up Amaris in a bridal style and walked up to a bench. "Excuse me!"

Kongpob carefully sat Amaris down and crouched down. He removed Amaris' shoes and socks to take a good look at the sprained ankle. While the two was busy attending their son, the teachers made all the participants go back to their seats, saying that they'll just continue after Amaris was okay as they cannot leave a participant behind and just called the another set of students to join the game.

"I'll get him an ice pack." Arthit said and left to the clinic. While waiting, Kongpob carefully massages Amaris' ankle to relieve the pain. "Does it still hurt?" Kong asked. "A little."

Soon, Arthit came back with an ice pack and gave it to Kongpob, "Here," Kongpob took the ice pack and put it on to Amaris' ankle, pressing it gently.

After a while, the teacher came towards them to check on Amaris if he could participate to the game but he couldn't. His ankle still aches and couldn't seem to participate to the game again so he just said that he'll just wait and participate the upcoming games if his injury get better. The game of the first set just continued without Amaris and the kid just sat to the bench and just watched the kids play.

After the game, Amaris already felt better and could finally walk. Before he joined his classmates and friends, he looked  faced Kongpob and thanked him, "Thank you, uncle Kong." Kongpob smiled at him and replied, "No problem." And then the kid ran back to his classmates.

"Here." Arthit handed Kongpob a drink, an iced coffee. "Thanks." Kongpob says and took the drink. Arthit then sat next to Kongpob, sipping his pink milk. "Why are you here?" He asked, "You don't have a child that goes to this school so why?"

"The school head invited me." Kongpob simply answered. "I see, your are quite close to Ms. Assulparikitt. A friend?"

"No." Kongpob answered, "I visited the school last tuesday and gave some charity fund to this school. She is the one who took in-charge of it."

"I see." Arthit paused for a second. "Kongpob, thank you." He said and looked at the younger, "Thank you for your help." Kongpob smiled as he looked at the direction of Amaris, talking to his classmates. "I just did what I have to do to help. It's nothing." He replied. "But I still need to thank you."

After the run of the kids, it was the parents turn to run. The first set was for mothers and the second we're for fathers.

Of course, Arthit didn't let the opportunity pass and joined. Whilst, Kongpob and Amaris just watched him and cheered for him. Kongpob also didn't let this opportunity surpass him and snapped a ton of stolen pictures of Arthit and Amaris during the games they joined, especially when they played sack race, a game that was participated by a parent and child.
