I dedicate this chapter to @c123love . Thank you so much for the comments and votes.
FIRE EXPLOSION! FIRE EXPLOSION!! FIRE!! EXPLOSION. That's all he could grasp from Alex's conversation.
It comes as an explosion to Pharm's memory. He remembers the car accident scene. How he fell in a lake to escape the explosion. But that's all.
"I'm remembering." Pharm mutters to himself. A female nurse enters the room at administer drugs to Pharm.
"Can I stroll around after you're through?" Pharm pleads.
"Of course. I will get a wheelchair because the doctor said you aren't ready to start walking." The nurse inserts the injection in the IV drip.
"Is there something wrong with my legs?" Pharm starts to panic and his heart monitor increases speed.
"No, your legs are perfectly okay." The nurse smiles. "I will be back in a moment." The nurse leaves.
The nurse is pushing the wheelchair that Pharm is seated in. They are in the corridors of the hospital. Pharm's attention is caught by the television on the wall.
"Dean Wongnate and Giffy Tanapon will be getting married next week." The male news reporter says.
"D..D...Dean..." Pharm knows the name but he can't remember. He looks back at the screen and sees the picture of Dean. Pharm gasps feeling the memories coming back like flashes. He remembers everything then his mother.
"Please could I use your phone?" Pharm asks the nurse who kindly gives her phone to him. He quickly inputs his mother's phone number then it starts ringing. It cuts then he tries it again which is answered.
"Hello, mom" Pharm closes his eyes and exhales in relief.
"Who is this?" The nurse taking care of Pharm's mother asks. He knows because it's her voice.
"It's me, Pharm. I'm calling to ask about my mother."
"Pharm, is that really you? I. We.. thought you're dead."
"I'm not. How is my mother?" Pharm asks but the line goes silent.
"I'm sorry Pharm. When your mother heard the news, the grief was just too much for her." The nurse says sadly. "It's like her condition just worsened all of a sudden."
"Nooo.." Pharm didn't have the strength to cry neither did the tears come out.
"Are you ok?" The nurse asks politely. Pharm cuts the call and gives the phone back to the nurse.
"Can you take me back to my room?"
"Of course." The nurse turns the wheelchair to the direction go Pharm's room.
"How long have I been out?" Pharm asks the nurse.
"It's been a month."
A WEEK LATER
Pharm's condition has improved greatly. The stitches have been removed and he can walk properly without crutches. He is been discharged today. He signs the documents needed and takes a taxi to Dean and Giffy's wedding venue. He arrives in front of their gate which is wide open to welcome everyone for the wedding. He sees the field was decorated beautifully with white and blue cloths. Round tables and chairs properly arranged all over the field. High class men and women taking a sip from their glass of wine.
He sees Dean and Giffy smiling talking to a man. He notices Dean's arm curved around the girl's waist. Pharm clutches his shirt tightly.
"It seems you have easily moved on in your life. Why am I the only one feeling this pain?." Pharm clenches his fist. "You will pay for this Dean. See what happens next in your life."
Pharm leaves and goes back to his family's house. He originally left his family to work independent and taste how life is. And now he has really tasted how bitter it is. When his father passed away, he was left the house property. His mother advised him to buy some shares in a company which he did. But he couldn't remember the company he bought shares from. One of the reasons he also left his family is to find someone to love him for who he is not what he has.
He removes the white cloths on the furniture in the living room. He decides to the clean the house till when he is tired. It's night by the time he is finally done. He tiredly goes to his parents bedroom and slowly lies in it because of the pains he is feeling.
THE NEXT MORNING
Pharm is seated in the dining table eating fried rice with omelette. He doesn't have a phone so he decides to use his laptop he left. He logs in his email address and immediately chats up his family's lawyer. Immediately he gets a reply from the lawyer.
"Pharm Tanapon, is that you?" Pharm reads the lawyer's question.
"Yes, it's me." Pharm sends the message.
"Where are you right now?"
"I'm at home."
"Don't go anywhere, I will be right there."
He sees the lawyer go offline. After 20 minutes, he hears someone knocking on the door which he hurriedly opens, immediately the lawyer hugs Pharm tightly.
"You're alive." The hug becomes tighter.
"Dej... you're suffocating me." Pharm speaks with struggle in his voice.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Dej moves back from him. "I thought you were dead."
"Luckily for me I survived." Pharm smiles. "Come let's sit. I have something important to discuss with you."
"Of course."
Pharm and Dej sit beside each other.
"Remember the company I have shares with?" Pharm starts immediately.
The black haired muscular man dressed in suit thinks for a moment. "Yes I remember the company. I put your shares on sale since I thought you were dead."
"You have to stop it." Pharm looks shocked.
"I will. Don't worry about it because nobody bought because the price was too high and the shares are so much." Dej admires his friend he hasn't seen for over three months.
"Pharm please tell me what happened?" Dej maintains eye contact with his friend.
Pharm squeezes his trousers trying to block the accident memories. "I don't want to remember it. It's just too painful for me."
Dej places his hand on Pharm's clenched fist. "Don't worry. I'm here for you. Anything you need just call me."
"Thanks Dej. By the way, what's the name of the company that I have shares with?"
"It's the Wongnate Enterprise."
"What?!!"
"Yes, they have several divisions dealing in several products but one of them really booming right now is Nirvana here in Bangkok."
