Reminiscence of Existence

Chapter 12

Copter was shaking his head a little when he can see the tall figure was standing in front of him and seconds later, he can feel the sting on his hand. Only then, he winced. Godt was carefully holding the bloody hand of Copter and put it on his palm, while his other hands would drape over Copter's shoulder, pulling him inside. He was looking for a room, or any place he could treat Copter and while walking further, he could see a door of a room with a sign 'Manager', which he believed was Tae's office. The blood now dripping past Godt palms to the floor all the way. Godt removes the hand on Copter's shoulder to knock on the door.

A few seconds later, the door was open reveal Tae who was freaking out right away looking at the bloody hand of Copter. "Cop, what happened with your hand?" Copter was just looking at Tae with watery eyes but no words were forming from his mouth. "Let's treat his wounds first, P." Godt was having a million questions in his mind too, and he knows P'Tae might have the same questions but what important right now was to treat the injured hand. When Tee who was previously sitting on the couch now already standing before them too, was shocked, he knew Tee had the same questions. But he prioritizes Copter more. He wanted Copter to be okay and right now, to treat Copter's hand was more important than all those unanswered questions. "Come in, I'll bring the first aid kit." Godt was pulling Copter the same way he did before, going into the room, while Tae was going out somewhere taking the first aid kit he was talking about.

Godt was treating Copter's wound ever so very gently so that it would make Copter feel less pain, but he knew the pain was unavoidable. Seeing Copter's expression, which was still dull and blank, he was having other mixed feelings, but he just pushes it aside right now. While Godt still treating Copter's wounds, helped by Tee, Tae was getting up. "I need to inform the band and the customer that the performance will end here tonight." Tae was walking to the door when he turned around once again to look at Copter, but the guy was just staring into nothing that he can't help but feeling the sorrowful surrounding his heart for the guy. 'What happened to you, Copter?' The question keeps playing in his mind that he couldn't stop but wished the shorter guy would tell him the truth.

"Who was the guy talking to you at the bar?" Godt asked right away when he saw Wuttichai coming into the house after coming back from the bar. Once he was done treated Copter's hand, he was coming back home right away and had asked Tae's help to send Wuttichai back home, together with Tee. Copter was now sleeping in his room and here he was in the living room waiting for the guy to come back home. "Who? P'Adisak?" Wuttichai was asking back, confused with the inquiry, when all he did was talking to the guy. Hearing the name, Godt felt like it was familiar, but he couldn't remember when did he heard the name before. "Who is he? Do you personally know him?" Wuttichai still feeling the confused he had before, but he answered anyway. "He was a brother of a friend of mine. I don't know him that well, but we just chatting about nothing, and mostly about my friend. What's with all the questions, P?"

"What he do?" the inquiry didn't stop, but still, Wuttichai would just answer the question. "He was a lawyer. Quite a reputation, so I heard." the word lawyer was clicked something in his mind. He was the one suing Copter and Uncle Weerawat for the accident, representing his stepfather. 'But was it the reason? Was it hard enough to make Copter break a glass on his hands without even realize it?'

"Where's uncle? I didn't see him since I arrived." Wuttichai was changing the topic since he really does wonder about this too though. "He's on a business trip for a week. New agenda I guess, let see what he going to do next," replied Godt. "Are you just gonna let him do everything he wants? It's your company, P" asked Wuttichai, a little bit worried for his cousin. Godt was sighing. "Because it is our company that I had to know everything even I was still in high school. But don't worry, Uncle Arun was still watching him. I know what's he doing, just not really got the full picture of his plan yet."

Godt was going upstairs followed by Wuttichai who heading to the next room beside his room, which previously belongs to his brother, Bas. The room was kept the same way since he died, it was a space he needed every time he missed the young boy. It was already 2.45 am in the morning, but things about Copter was keeping him awake. Luckily, tomorrow is Saturday, days with no class, but he got a project to submit on Monday, means, a working weekend.

When he was getting in the room, he was shocked, literally, again, when he saw Copter was sitting on the side of the bed, back facing him. He was fast, going in front of him, kneeling. He could see Copter was staring to nothing, with a blank face. "Hey, why are you up? I thought you were sleeping. Is your hand hurt?" Copter was turning to the voice he heard, and he could see the guy who was kneeling in front him, with a worried face, something people wouldn't usually do for him. He wonder why this guy did it.

"I need to go to my pa's room. He needs me." Copter was getting up, when his attempt was stop by Godt's hands on both of his shoulders pushing him down, stay on his position once again. "You don't have to. I had discussed things with auntie and arranged for her to sleep in Uncle's room on another bed, of course. She was agreed to stay here for your pa, permanently." Copter keeps watching the guy in front of him. He didn't know this guy, and he hates the guy the first time he saw him. But only after that he could think that maybe the guy didn't know anything about the case. But still, he wonders about him. What was he wonder again?

"I still need to take a look at him." Copter was fast this time, to get up and trying to walk to the door, when Godt suddenly hugged him from behind. He didn't have any energy to push the guy, but, seriously, hug? "What are you doing?" Copter tone was stern. "Please, Copter. It was hard for me to keep looking at you, torturing yourself for no reason. Did you even realized what you did before, until your hand's bleeding? I know I've been ridiculous, just getting to know you only for two-three days, but, it was getting harder by the minute thinking about you. And I can't even stop myself, but to think about you."
