i'm worried about phufah, where is he? i've been looking for him here in the whole intramuros, why can't i find him?

"papa, my foot hurts already, but i'm worried about my phi," teerak said, crying. we stopped walking.

"take care of him first, daou and offroad, i'll just look for fah," daou and offroad nodded.

"i will find your phi first, i'm so worried too, baby," i said, kissing natt's forehead. daou was already carrying natt, and offroad was holding their sons.

"take care of him, na. i want to see phufah now. why didn't i notice that fah was separated from me? i can't forgive myself if something bad happens to third," i said tearfully.

"hey, don't think that. let's pray fah is alright," offroad said.

"yeah, i will go now," i said, and they nodded. i left.

i hope fah is okay. they and teerak are my only strength when i was weak. i really love them.

i went to all parts of the osaka castle, but i couldn't find him. there's one place i haven't been to, so i went immediately.

i turned my gaze, hoping to see third. i looked at all the kids.

i saw a familiar child. i kept staring at the child. fah! a man was holding him, but i couldn't see the man's face. as long as my son was safe, i immediately ran to them and hugged third.

"papa, where are you all going?" third said. i whispered to him, "i'm sorry, baby," and i raised my head to thank the man for taking care of my baby while i was looking for him.

"watashi no kodomo no mendou o mite itadaki, arigatou gozaimasu," i said, shocked, when i saw who the man was taking care of third.

"war," he said. why is all the pain coming back?

"do you know him, papa?" fah asked in thai, and i nodded.

"if you know him, we can invite him to our house. i want to thank him for helping me. please, papa, invite p'yin," phufah said. how is this? phufah wants to invite yin.

"papa, please na," fah begged. i couldn't stand it. third.

"yes, we will invite him," i said, and fah smiled.

"you have a child now?" yin asked sadly. why do you need to ask? i nodded.

"we will go home, shall we?" fah asked.

"yes, baby," i said.

"yehey, we will invite him now!" third said. i was surprised because why now, third?

"if he's not busy," i said.

"are you free today, p'yin?" fah asked him in english.

"i'm free today," yin said.

"yeheyyyy! let's go now!" fah said as he held my hand and yin's, so he was in the middle of us.

"but i brought my car today," yin said.

"i will accompany you, p'yin, to our home. papa, are you okay with that?" fah asked me, and i nodded.

our eyes met, and i saw the sadness in his eyes. never mind, maybe it's just my illusion.

how can he be sad? if he's happy with proy.

"omg, pa, where is akachan no ototo (baby brother)?" fah asked.

"ohh, he's with your uncles," i said, and he nodded.

we walked where i left them, quietly, except for fah, who was telling a story.
