The Missing Part

Chapter 13

"How's auntie?" Itthipat was came running to the emergency at the hospital, approaching his uncle, Warun when he received a call telling him that his auntie has fainted. "The doctor said she's fine, but she is really weak, so they just brought her to the wardroom." Warun was sighed and took a seat at the nearby chairs and Itthipat was following him, taking a seat beside the old man.

"She couldn't take it very well, and I was hopeless. I don't know what else to do, or where to go to find him. We were supposed to go out for a walk and having a late breakfast as usual with him. Where could he go early in the morning when all he loves was to sleep in on the weekend?" Warun was covering his face with his palm, feeling helpless and restless. Itthipat could just rub his back up and down, trying to calm him down, though he knew it wouldn't be much of help.

It has been weeks that they lost Kimmon without a trace. When they came back from their usual morning walk, his wife, Andrea was knocking on his son's door, as usual, to wake him up for breakfast. When she couldn't hear any response, she opened the door only to see an empty messy room.

She called his son right away, but couldn't reach it making she felt anxious. So he tried to call Itthipat and Bas, but then both didn't know where Kimmon was, and that they didn't see him that morning. They don't have any plans either that day.

Since that day, people were helping to look for him but to no avail. He is nowhere to be found, not even a trace of him anywhere. Where could he be? Just like he lost in thin air. Andrea's condition gets worse day by day and led to fainted a few times already. Today wasn't the first time, but every time this happened, Warun couldn't help but felt really helpless.

Itthipat then helping his uncle to get to the wardroom, and make sure they both had rest before he was leaving them to meet Bas. It was evening and Bas was just coming out from the class when he told him about Auntie Andrea. But he just asked him to meet outside so that his uncle and his auntie could have a proper rest for today.

Once reaching the coffee shop they frequent, he took a seat in front of Bas right away. "How's auntie?" Bas would ask right away. "She's fine. As usual, she just getting weaker. She couldn't have a proper meal, and couldn't rest properly either." Itthipat was heaving a big sigh.

"Itthipat, I was thinking this very hard you know. I don't think Rudet's escape, Neung's changing school at the same time Kimmon was gone was actually a coincidence. I thought it was all this time, and that Neung was embarrassed being rejected by Kimmon. And she did say the night before it was the last for her to request of him. But the smirk she gave me was disturbing me till today." Bas was talking nonstop, making Itthipat was thinking about it too.

"But Rudet and Neung weren't that close to Kimmon. Especially Rudet. Everybody knows how Rudet hated Kimmon, and why would they both lost together?" Bas was raking his head, stressful. That part was the crucial point that wasn't matched, that no matter how he thinks about it.

"But there was something I didn't tell you, since I don't think it was significant, considering Kimmon was coming home alright that night." Itthipat was frowning at Bas's statement. "What is it?" He asks curiously. Bas took in a deep breath before continue.

"Neung was a witch. She's a white witch though, but her mother was a black witch. Do you think her mother would do something to Kimmon?" This was unexpected to Itthipat. It wasn't easy to recognize a witch, and Bas could even tell which is white and which black witch is. "How did you know?"

"I could tell Neung was a witch long before, but the spark she had wasn't that strong, so, I thought maybe she wasn't really practicing it. But then, suddenly, I saw her mother appear before her, and the black aura was so intimidated that I was really scared back then. I have the ability to know the witch and even could tell if they were white or black. Nobody knew about this, but Kimmon, and I was telling you now." Bas was telling Itthipat the things that were disturbed his mind all this time.

Itthipat was just about to say something when suddenly Itthipat had been hugged by a girl from behind and was putting her hands circling Itthipat's neck with her head on Itthipat's side, shocking both guys. "Baby, here you are. I was looking around for you and you didn't even pick up my calls either. Why are you ignoring me?" They both were so into their conversation that Bas didn't even realize that girl coming closer from Itthipat's behind.

"Oh, Seri, I was kind of busy. Sorry I couldn't pick up your calls. Why are you looking for me?" Itthipat who could recognize the voice was trying to talk to her casually. "My mother wants to see you. She keeps on asking about you." The girl named Seri was giving out her pout that Bas couldn't help but felt disgusted by it.

"Seri, how many times I told you, we weren't a thing. You were just a one-night stand turn friend, so I will never go see your mom. I'm sorry, but could you leave us? We have something important to discuss." The pout on the girl's mouth got harder that Bas couldn't help but scowl on it. That was so disgusting.

With a little more persuasion by Itthipat, only then the girl would leave them alone, but the disgusts look on Bas's face was stay even after the girl was gone, making Itthipat frowning to it. "What's wrong?" He asked and once again Bas was taking a deep breath.

"Neung's mother was the first black witch I see, and I was standing quite far from her. But to be quite close with one, I don't know, they would smell so bad that I had to hold my breath a few times." Hearing Bas, the frowning on Itthipat's face was getting harder if it was even possible. "Are you saying, Seri was a black witch?"

Bas nods his head to Itthipat's question. "I don't think it was a coincidence that witch was lurking around both of you. In our school, or I could say, even in this city, the only upper-class alpha were both of you. I couldn't hear anywhere about any upper-class alpha, so was it the reason the witches lurking around you both? So, the probability Kimmon was taken by a witch was also a big probability then, don't you think?"

Itthipat was raking his hair, frustratingly this time. "Seri and Neung both were a witch? And both were approaching us. Neung was a white witch but Seri was a black witch you say? I never deal with a witch, so I don't know what to do. Do you have any idea who we could refer to? We couldn't jump to any conclusion, though." Itthipat was saying trying to be rational. It was a modern world anyway when witches weren't really practicing, but he couldn't say it has vanished though.

"I have someone in mind, though."
