12

Weeks passed since I was discharged from the hospital. I need to sleep in the same room and same bed with Sorn inorder for her to take care of me and assist me when I need to. As my usual set up I woke up by eight in the morning and kept trying myself to get up but every time I tried Sorn kept helping me up.

"Khun Alizee.. Don't be stubborn.."

She said she's worried about me.

She helped me sit in the wheelchair. As she was about to push it I pulled the handbrake and looked at her.

"How can I learn if you keep helping me out?"

"I want you to learn either.. But you have to follow the doctor's order.."

Sorn said as she rubbed my holder by her tumb.

I grab her hand and hold it.

"I'm sorry if this happened…. I bothered you a lot by this accident."

"Khun Alizee… Please stop it.."

She said, like she was annoyed by what I said earlier.

"You don't have to feel sorry for what happened, so stop acting as if it was your fault."

She spoke as I nodded to her and smiled.

"Shall we?"

"Yup.. Since I have an appointment with Khae at ten in the morning."

"Suree, Khun Alizee.."

Sorn spoke as she pushed my wheelchair to the bathroom to assist me in getting showered and ready.

==================================== I was always doing a favor to help Khun Alizee in different things that she can't do on her own. At first I was shy to bathe with her but since we almost reached the first status of our relationship that we want there's no need to be shy with each other. As Khun Alizee and I finished getting ready for the day someone knocked into the door.

"I'll get it first…"

"Suree.."

When I went to open the door I saw Khun Heng holding a white rose that was Khun Alizee's favorite.

"Khun Heng…"

"Is Alizee there? I want to address her something.."

I went to the ketchen to prepare some breakfast for Khun Alizee, since she was talking to Khun Heng.

I don't know why I felt nervous when I let her talk with her ex, but I don't have a right to hear everything since I'm just an outsider although I was Khun Alizee's future girlfriend but still I was considering myself as an outsider.

"Sorn.. calm down.."

I said to myself and continued working on Khun Alizee's breakfast.

====================================

In the living room I was talking with Heng.

"Alizee… How are you? I have been worried since you didn't give me any update.."

"Heng.. Please say what you need to say, I was very busy.."

I spoke to him with a straight face.

"Alizee.. Between us,Is still there's a chance?"

A moment of silence remained between us that I was still debuting and confused. But I need to answer this carefully.

"Between us, is just an agreement that the elders arranged. Since my parents already died, including grandfather I will be able to decide about this agreement. Hoping that you and Don Fernando will accept my decisions."

"Please tell me what you have decided Alizee..."

"I don't want to let my grandfather and Don Fernando down. But, as I already stated, my final decision was mine. The agreement between our wedding is calling them off.."

I spoke in a serious tone.

"And yes.. The same reason.."

I added.

"Are you still thinking if between you and Sorn is that as easy as you think?!"

Heng spoke like he's letchuring me.

"Don't try to lecture me!"

I spoke as I stood up.

Heng hold my waistwatch

"let go!"

I shouted as Heng was still holding me tight.

"No.. I won't"

"I said let go! How annoying you are!"

I shouted to him once again but this time my voice was full of anger. As I pulled back my wristwatch I heard someone call me into a shaking tone.

"Khun Alizee.."

I saw Sorn who was crying while she's standing in the distance into the living room.

"Sorn…"

She shakes her head sorrowfully as she walks out. I tried to run after her but Heng caught my waistband.

"Don't be so rude that you own me!"

As soon as I tried to flee and rush after Sorn, I yelled angrily to Heng.

====================================

I ran away from Khun Alizee's house with my tears flowing away. I stopped when I heard a gunshot somewhere.

"Sorn, watch out!"

I heard a familiar voice as I immediately duck and cover my ears and close my eyes.

*Bang *Bang *Bang

When the gunshots stopped, I opened my eyes to see a familiar hand in front of my face.

"Don't be afraid, I'm already here.."

I looked up as I noticed Khun Alizee, who was visibly concerned. She hugged me as soon as I grabbed her hand and got up, as I could hear her heart racing harder and quicker.

"If I didn't follow you, something might have happened to you."

She spoke in a very worried tone that I hadn't ever heard from her before.

As soon as she let go of me and held my right arm shoulder.

"Awww.."

"What's wrong?"

When Khun Alizee removed her hand full of my blood from my arm shoulder.

"You got shot?"

Khun Alizee asked worryingly.

"Maybe, when I heard the first gun shot."

I answered.

"Let's go home so I can clean your wound."

Khun Alizee said as she covered my wound with her handkerchief.

====================================

As soon as I and Sorn reached my house we immediately sat on the sofa.

"I'll get you some water first.."

I spoke as she nood at me.

I went into the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water to give to Sorn. As soon as she drinks it, I help myself to the first-aid kit. I donned it and returned to the living room, where I sat next to Sorn. As soon as I started to treat her wound, she stopped me.

"Khun Alizee.. I'll do it.."

She said in a cold tone.

"Let me do it.."

I said with concern.

As I started a moment of silence remained.

"I owed you an apology earlier.."

I spoke but Sorn kept her silence.

"I'm sorry if I didn't tell you.."

In a low voice, I said.

"I was planning to tell you after breakfast, but then.. "

"Since when have you been able to walk?""

Sorn asked.

"Last night.. I tried to get up and I was surprised when I was able to walk again like before. I didn't tell you because it would be a surprise. At that moment also I received a threat call from the unknown ID. So when you walked out earlier I followed you."

I said as I started bandaging her wound.

"See.. How dangerous was my life that where I was living.. I was worried if someday we belong to each other and if somethings happened to me I don't kno-"

I didn't finish my words when Sorn covered my mouth with her finger.

"Khun Alizee.. Please don't talk like that.."

Once she removed her hand into my mouth I finished bandaging her wound.

"It's done.."

"Thanks Khun Alizee.."

She thanked me with a smile.

As I pushed her off to the corner side of the sofa.

"I'm sorry once more for causing this wound.And for not telling you everything earlier."

I spoke softly.

"I understand.. But please don't do it again next time.."

"I promised.."

"I can't hear you.. Please say it clearly.."

Sorn said as she kept her eyes into my lips.

I kissed her in a moment as I could hear her heart beating fast every second.

"You heard it now?"

I said when I withdrew my lips from her.

"I heard very clearly Khun Alizee.."

She spoke with a very sweet tone.

"Do you want to have your breakfast now? Khun Alizee? Because I'm hungry, .."

She spoke.

"Me either.. but I want to eat a foreigner who is younger than me.."

I joke as I bite my half lip and raise my eyebrow.

"Khun Alizee!"

Sorn shouted with her sweetest voice.

"By the way, how did you know that I'm a half foreigner?"

"I read it.. In your resume.."

"Ahh I see.."

As I help Sorn to get up from the sofa.

"Shall we have dinner later?"

"But you have an appointment with the accounting department later.."

"We can do it after the meeting.."

"Suree, Khun Alizee.."

Sorn agreed as she smiled at me.
