I want to Find Him

I want to Find Him
CHAPTRE 26



"What's the matter, Han, you're the same Rain?"


Nora still looks confused after witnessing the shocking event that I experienced earlier. Yes, everyone must have been surprised to find the figure he had been looking for all this time, but that person did not know him at all. In fact, he looks like a stranger.


But, I'm pretty sure that was Rain. His face, his tall body, his hair, his eyes, all of them were like Rain had. It's just that he looks more mature. But maybe it wasn't Rain. Even Nora who had never met him alone called out his name without hesitation. Or it was Rain but he was making an alibi to pretend not to know me.


Arkh..! I scrambled my hijab in frustration. My mind is so fucked right now. I think my head wants to break because I think about all that. If she really was Rain meant that she was already married to that woman. I could see how the woman smiled gently towards Rain. And Rain graciously rubbed the woman's hair.


"Han! You're okay, right?" Nora asked with a worried tone.


"Huh? Wh-what?" I flinched from my daydream.


"Well, she's daydreaming it turns out" Nora quipped.


"What's wrong?" Ask me.


"Tadi Nora asked, what is your relationship with Rain?" Vifi was clearly observing.


"Oh, that. Kan, I told you that Rain is my grandfather's stepson and he's my little friend."


"But, if you look at how frustrated you are, it's not just that" Nora said.


"Oh, don't talk about him anymore. My head is about to be destroyed, nih!"


I half screamed in front of my two colleagues. Fortunately, they understand my condition.


"Yes, we eat first" said Vifi.


I chose to enjoy the food ordered by Vifi. I actually don't have a taste for food. But, because I haven't had breakfast at all, so inevitably I have to eat. Uh.. Feels tasteless.


After lunch, Vifi took us back to Rattanakosim Royal Square. He said he wanted to play water. So, I just followed what the guy said.


Although not as fun as playing with the kids, but I try to enjoy the atmosphere. I just stood with a water gun while watching Vifi and Nora running around because of each other's attacks.


Even those who have just met can be so familiar, while those who have been together for a long time like not knowing each other.


My tears rolled down my cheeks that were starting to warm. Instantly I cried along with the shower that fell like rain. I sobbed among the sea of people cheering. And I don't know why I'm the only one different in this crowd.


As if feeling awkward, I hid my face behind my palm. Trying to wipe away tears so that no one is aware of it. After all, if Nora found out, she would panic to the point of booking the fastest plane ticket to get me home. Because he knows I have a bad mood.


Suddenly I felt someone shake my elbow slowly. I also jerked to immediately lower my palm from my face. In front of me stood a little boy with a handkerchief. He gave the handkerchief to me with a smile.


"Kh-Khop khun!" Saying stammered.


He just nodded with his smile that had not faded. After that, he immediately ran. I was chasing him. But he soon disappeared behind the crowd. I looked at the wave-patterned handkerchief. Very beautiful and amazing.


...----------------...


Second day of Songkran. I pretended to be sick in front of Nora and Vifi so they wouldn't take me for a walk today. Nora could not believe because my condition was very good before. However, after I lure him into assuming he can be alone with Vifi, he just resigned. Vifi looked worried when she saw me. But, with her super-great acting skills, she managed to convince Vifi that I would be fine.


After they left, I hurried to get ready to leave the hotel. Eitts..! Don't think weird. I don't intend to run away, anyway. I just wanted to find an address that Brother Fatha gave me before I flew to Bangkok. He said it was Rain's address. Therefore, I have to find out something there.


After a few questions, I got the exact address of the house. Now I am standing before a large gate that is tightly closed. Even so tight, I couldn't even peek at something that was behind that iron fence. I pressed the bell button next to the fence. It took a long time to wait. Until the small door next to the fence opened and showed an old woman behind the door.


"Excuse me! Is this a resident of the Chearavanont family?" I asked the old lady.


He looks a little confused. And I think he's deaf. I also spelled the family name clearly. After finding my lips clearer, then he smiled and nodded.


I feel relieved that my purpose has been found. I wish Rain was home, because I wanted to demand a lot of things from him. I was also invited in by the grandmother. I think she's Rain's grandmother. A few years ago he said he had a grandmother from his father. But she said her grandmother had a stroke until she became mute.


When I got inside his large house, I was immediately faced with a strange look from the occupants of the house. One of them approached the grandmother and looked slightly scolded her. Is not the right time? The grandmother was also taken away by the girl who had scolded her.


I'm still nailing on the main doorstep of the house. While observing the people who were standing looking at me with an unpleasant look. I think the atmosphere in this room is so tight that it makes me tense.


"G-Good Morning! Can I -"


"Rain is not staying here again!" Cut the firm-faced man.


"What!?"


I was surprised by the man's words. What does it mean that Rain doesn't live in this house anymore.


"Should not I tell you never set foot in this house again! Why are you coming again!?" It shouted a beautiful woman who was standing next to the man. "I've said Rain is not here and will never stay here again!" Further.


"Yes, that time you came with Mega to look for Rain. Are you thick?" The man said as if he could read my mind.


I just remembered that I had come here with Bu Mega and Grandpa of course. I don't know why I forgot. It's possible that I went through a different route so I don't remember the address.


A glance gleamed in my memory the exact same incident as it is today. Like De javu. We were also yelled at like this at that time by these two people. However, it was worse then.


"I just want to meet Rain, really! Can you tell me where he is now?" I said by gathering courage.


"We don't know. And never again ask about Rain to us. Now please leave our house!" The man reached out his hand pointing at the door behind me.


I was stuck in my place. Did he just throw me out. I haven't even fully entered the house yet.


I left the house with a raging feeling. That brief debate with Mr. Chearavanont managed to have my mood completely shattered. I too staggered to leave the courtyard of the house. However, suddenly someone pulled my hand which gave me the reflex to turn my head.


Grandma Rain was there. He gave me a piece of paper. I received the paper with a bit of confusion. He also hinted that I would unfold the paper. I also follow his wishes. On the paper was written a letter that looked like an address. I also tried to ask. Then, he pointed to one of the sections below the writing. It says 'Koningyong family house'. I still feel confused. Noticing my confusion, the grandmother took out a pen from her pocket. Then write something in his hand.


"Rain lives there now. Find him there" he wrote.


I also smiled and nodded. I hugged Grandma as well as crying. "Thank you so much" I said. He just returned my embrace and rubbed my back gently. After that, I immediately left the residence of the Rain family. I don't know why, I feel like something is wrong with this family.


***


I pressed the bell that was plastered beside a shiny white painted wooden gate. While waiting for the gate to open, I tried to double-check the address I had in my hand. Make sure that the writing is in accordance with the place I came to. I nodded my head after checking the match between the address on the paper and the one I came to. Then, suddenly there was a noise behind the gate. I also looked.


"Chai?"


An old man in an ancient suit appeared from behind that gate. I approached her while revealing a smile. He also seemed to return my smile. I also gave her a special Thai greeting. Then, tell me about Grandma Rain who asked me to come to this address.


The old man smiled again. He turned out to be Mr. Kongyingyong the owner of the house. He confirmed that Rain lived in his home.


"But, now Rain isn't at home" he admitted.


"Ohh.." I muttered.


"If you want, you can wait inside" he said, pointing to his house.


It didn't take long, I nodded immediately. I don't know why it feels like I'd love to enter Mr. Kongyingyong's yard which looks so calm and peaceful.


I followed Mr. Kongyingyong who led me to his house. For a moment, my steps stopped when I found someone I knew very well. Ah, no, I don't know him very well. We only met once and have not been able to get acquainted. She was the woman in the wheelchair yesterday with Rain.


He smiled as he turned the wheel of his chair towards me. I returned his smile as I approached him. We stopped when we were close. Then, look at each other for a while.


"Assalamualaikum, Hany!" said it.


I was surprised when the woman said my name.


"No need to be surprised, Rain told me" he continued.


I also have a little ooh. "Getishalight."


"Let's go in!" Take the woman in a strange manner.


Mr. Kongyingyong also pushed the wheelchair for the woman. Then, stop him on the edge of a sofa in the living room.


Mr. Kongyingyong left us both in the room. He said he wanted to give us some privacy so we could have a nice chat. I just smiled and thanked the white-haired man.


After Tuang Kongyingyong left, I also refocused on the woman who was sitting opposite me. We were silent for a few seconds, because to be honest I didn't know where to start. Hiya! What did Rain say about me? Do I have to start there? I don't think that's a good idea.


"Hi! My name is Carsyelia Kongyingyong, and I'm called Carsy." The woman opened up a conversation between us.


"Hi, Carsy! I'm Hany" reply me.


"Yes, I know. Rain told me about you."


"REally!?"


"Hem," the woman muttered as she lowered her head. His expression changed immediately. And I am well aware of that change. Hey, what's up?


"You are the woman my husband loves."
