CHAPTER 3: Loan Sharks

The bus dropped him off at his usuall drop-off spot and he started walking down his street thinking of what he will do now that he is jobless.

As he was thinking he didn't notice the strange movements towards him and when he snapped out of his thinking it was already late because he bumped into something very stiff, strong and bulky.

As he looked up behold it was them, the loan sharks.

In a room a group of men came in with weapons beating up a fragile creature that couldn't even fight or defend him self, blood all over his face with swollen eyes and chicks.

"hey kid when will we get the money hhhaa.." a cold but ragging voice said in the room.

He tried talking but couldn't say a word, his strength was lost as he was beaten to a pulpy state

"are you not going to pay back hhhhaa, you should answer a question when you're asked okay" he dragged his head and banged it on the floor.

"hit him hard since he doesn't want to talk" they continued hitting him until he shouted out with his last strength.

"please I'll pay back sir just 2 weeks....please stop hitting me" he said with tears and fear in his eye

"i like seeing scared kids.... say it ..... Common say it" he asked pulling his hair

" i—I'm" he stutterd.

“say it!!!!!” he shouted pulling his hair harder

"I'm scared sir, i promised I'll pay you back within 2 weeks please!!!!" he said as flush of tears stream down his checks.

He smatched his head on the floor and slowly darkness swallowed him whole as he couldn't drift him self from it.

He woke up the next morning on the bed with bandages, he looked around and saw a figure.

it wasn't clear but it slowly got clear and it was indeed his best friend making him porrage of cause he hates it but that's what his state needs now.

"Teerak,...are you okay, ....can you see me, ....how many fingers am i putting up... Do you see in mono or probe” she said without hesitation.

“well actually mono is when you see things in white and black, then probe is when you see things in colours , so which one ....Do you feel pain, do you feel like fain......" she asked worriedly.

"hey what's with the questions am still alive okay am not dead yet, I'm still kicking" he said jokingly and relieved.

"of course you would still be kicking because luckily your legs weren't broken" she said teasingly.

"yea, they might actually break me into two so that i won't stand ever again maybe". He said playfully.

"actually i wish they broke your mouth so you wouldn't be able to talk again—atleast for the mean time" she said preapring to feed him the porrage.

"well i won’t get to eat your food which you are about to give me now" he said with a sad tone

" I'm sorry i never told you about this i know you must be shocked" he said.

"aaahh ......I'm not angry okay, I'm glad you are alive, that's what matters to me even if its in pieces" she said mockingly.

"what!!!!...... In pieces you..don't love me anymore" he said making a puffy lips and that of a puppy eye too.

Fyn you won't be in peices but promise you won't keep things from me again.

Actually i took a sick leave for you when you get better you can start work, okay?" she said.

"mmm promise, Thanks mundmee you're the best" he said nodding his head.

"okay, no more drama let’s ts eat" she said
