13 Darrel's Request (4)

(End of the meeting)

After an hour..

Phoenix was the last one to leave because as he was portraying Ariel which darrel had already told him that after children all the ladies go first and then men one by one signing their initials on the paper as record of being present on the meeting but as there were only three to four men in the whole class he was doubting is it still valid but still they choose to exit last.

Just as he was exciting Ms Jonita called out to him, " Mr. Ryang I wanted to have a word with you".

"In my cabin....

Phoenix was baffled but he masked his real expression under a pleasant one, " of course.

In the cabin ~

"Actually I thought you wouldn't come in the first place.... you know because ...umm...your hus-...

This made him falter in his speech, " Yeah... how can she know about this, " that - this was about my son so how can I— he heard the same razor like sharp voice which he was admiring a moment ago intercepted him in between. "

—I know you are not Ariel because I didn't informed him about this meeting... if you are here than this probably be Darrel's work.

"That boy never disappoints me".

" what are you trying to say, Phoenix was totally paniking inside, how does she know?

... what should he do?... but one thing was clear she is not someone to be mess with as she knew Master Ariel who once was known as the "The Invincible Cold Prince".

" Don't worry we are friends and about the meeting it intended only to parents of those students who are a bully as a sign of warning."

"I just wanted to whoever you are to talk to Ariel about this issue regarding Darrel being bullied by his classmates.

" What....bullying? Phoenix was bewildered as he knew that Darrel is not a meek child who would just endured unless there is something that is making him like that.

"Yes. The children mist have known this from there parents that Darrel don't have a mother or father, using this they were bullying him for a while now.

" I have consulted it with him but he refused to addressed or complain about it probably because he doesn't want to hurt him".

" Also ...she pause contemplating whether to tell him or not but she was sure that if Darrel had brought him here this means he is someone whom he trusted," I wanted to say that it's starting maybe it has triggered somehow - so be ready.

Phoenix didn't know what she was talking about but he knew that she was someone whom Ariel trust his life with as in Darrel.

" okay I'll confirmed it with him. Thank you for taking care of him with that he leaved her office... he couldn't get over about the things he heard earlier.

As the meeting end, all the students forming a line with help of the teachers started exiting the Hall in to the corridors waiting for their parents to come out.

Even though the things turn out well till now but Darrel wasn't a bit worried about Phoenix because he was convinced that he could handle the situation even if things goes wrong .

The thing that worries him the most was of Ariel. Last year when this day arrived he kind of started feeling trepidation and fear even though he knew that Dad will never leave him.

"He loves me very much, Dada will never abandon me", he said to himself but he can never deny the look of sadness and pain in his eyes specially during this period.

He could sense from the aura that whoever it was very important to his dad and somehow to him too.

Last year when he saw him coming home at night at the usual time he came from office.

Darrel also thought that he had come from office but he could smell the scent of mud and greenery oozing from him.

He never question him because he believed in him. He thought this is not something he should be prying over and moved on.

But Today he was anxious from the start and after not seeing Lady Sun in the house - who is present 24/7 like being a ghost after him only confirmed his doubts. There are very rare moments when she is absent— First, when Dad has some kind of work with her and the second was when she disappeared on her own and he kind of knew that she was not home since last night and probably Dad too.

"uhhh....

His head was aching due to all the things happening like someone was choking him slowly he wanted nothing but to see Ariel and feel the warmth and love, he wanted to whined in front of him, "Daddy you are very bad...how can you stay away from your cute and adorable son for so long? "

He wanted to cuddle to him like they do every night. He just want him to be there when he will arrived at home like usual.
