I hardly feel pain anymore. I'm just annoyed. Every time some friends bully and hurt me a little, even though I feel some pain, But I still don't know what to do..

Win

Who are these people? What right do they have to judge me? They didn't even know how much I was struggling..the force of my father's hand stroking my head. Those loving and affectionate eyes that look at you... No matter what anyone thinks I will help my father.

Ew

"Hoy! That's enough..what are you teasing so hard about?" I continued saying...in annoyance. The good one raised his eyebrows in annoyance and raised both hands to show his consent... At that time, the mathematics teacher arrived. Everyone then returned to peace again.

Mathayom 4/4, this year is the worst.

"Win"

“Stop it! All three of you,” the building's duty teacher's voice rang out, preceded by a half-running, half-walking gasp. came to a stop not far from the scene of the incident, while I, Pound and Fiat Gathered around Jao Nong, a classmate who had just transferred from another school to study here last semester. We suddenly stopped.

I couldn't imagine the old school building behind the school. Someone will come up and meet them. While we were searching through Fah and her friends' backpacks to collect mobile phones Tablets and other valuables They were piled together on two study tables placed next to each other in the classroom. I looked behind the teacher.

There is my roommate and a friend who lives in a different room. They were gradually coming up into the classroom and making louder and louder noises.

“Win Pound and Fias. Go down and wait for the teacher in the administration room! ” The teacher's voice echoed in my ears. Make my heart beat faster I regained consciousness and looked at the condition of my entire body. Both of my hands began to sweat until they were moist. I looked at Pound and Fiat's faces. Both faces are as discolored as Kan and Om.

Standing and watching us from the classroom Ready for the middle of the night..

(family)

Win is my name. My mother gave me the name and said it had a good meaning. She liked it. my mother and father Get to know each other in the gambling den Mother is a beautiful young woman who is a gambler. The many possessions left by grandparents are hardly left. It's still good at my grandparents' house. It is a collective family land title deed that allows children and grandchildren to live together and build houses together.

And grandparents assigned Uncle Chai to hold the land title deed. Otherwise..I probably wouldn't have a place to sleep like I do today.

After my grandparents passed away and I gave this house to my mother to live in. Mother used her grandparents' house as a gambling den to earn a living. With support from father Every night many people stopped by to gamble, eat, sleep and live in my house with my mother. Until it's normal for me

I have a duty to help my father and mother take care of the business. Always running around to buy rice and water for guests, talking, taking care of and providing various services. Including acting as the dealer of the table (Dealer refers to the operator of the game, such as dealing cards and spinning the wheel)

My father's main occupation was as an underground lottery dealer. There are only 2 days of work per month, the 1st and the 16th. On other days, Dad raises chickens, cows, and trains them to be ready. To go compete at the chicken casino or go play wualan In addition, he earns extra income from gambling in various gambling dens.

Including at my house with my mother. His father's house was full of chicken coops and large cowsheds. Dad had a barn behind the house that he used to store chicken feed and hay to feed the cows. and used this place as a secret base for his father's underground lottery business

My father and I don't live in the same house. I live with my mother at my grandparents' house. My mother is my father's second wife. Not long after getting to know each other in a gambling den The two fell into pieces together. Until my mother became pregnant Father was therefore forced to continually take care of Mother and me. Father lives with big mother. Pee Toey and Tum

Grandmother's child at father's house Mother used to say that Grandma Yai was a person with good status. There is a lot of wealth and land. Grandma doesn't like that Dad likes to gamble. But when it can't be prevented So he just kept quiet and didn't care. No matter what father does P'Toey just got married and has a family and moved to live with her husband in another province.

As for Chao Tum, he helps his mother work at home and does not finish Mathayom 3 because he had a quarrel with a friend at school. After the father went to clear up the problem with the other party and the police. Tum refused to go to school again.

Even though Father was initially unwilling to adopt Mother and me, But as I am a smart and intelligent child, I am able to help in the casino well. It made dad start to love me more and more. Dad always taught me techniques and methods for gambling. So that I can use it when a good gambler comes into our casino.

I will use the techniques that my father taught me. Waiting to intervene or play. and prevent these gamblers from raising their hands too much. In addition, Dad likes to invite me to go to the chicken casino. Or go play with your father. Lately, during the holidays, my father always invites me to help out. So I spent time in my father's chicken coop and cowshed. To learn and help father train chickens or cows. I am very happy

That feels like being a part of my father's family. Become a child that father loves and cares for like Toey and Tum.

About two weeks ago Dad was betrayed by his best friend who is a police officer. and was arrested at a gambling den Border area of ​​neighboring countries One of my father's friends who lived in the same village came to deliver the news. After being contacted by his own relatives who were also arrested along with his father.

Mother and I hurriedly went to the elder mother to inform her of this terrible news. But the big mother was silent. Not interested in going to help bail out his father Even if you have a lot of money Big Mother claims that in the past I have warned and forbidden my father. But father insisted on taking this route. So I don't want to be involved.

So my mother and I tried to contact P'Toey. By making an appointment to meet at the border checkpoint. When we arrived, we found that Pee Toey was already waiting. P'Toey introduced me and my mother to Khun Amanu. A lawyer traveling with P'Toey as well.

“Don't worry. Everything will be fine soon,” Khun Amanu said to console us. A smile and a soft voice It made me feel strangely warm and comfortable. Even in the dire situation where we are in the dark. Along the way, we sat in the car together. I kept quiet and listened to my mother. P'Toey and Khun Amanu

Discuss and discuss steps and methods for entering into negotiations. to bring the father out of the quarantine place I was impressed, felt very good, and inadvertently secretly looked at Khun Amanu's back from time to time. Short hairstyle neatly trimmed A modern, exquisite suit that looks neat in every detail. If I dress like this sometimes, I'll probably look quite good.

I have never seen a man look this good before. Anyway, I like looking at girls more. Even the male teachers in school where the girls scream are not that interesting. I tend to like lawyers.

Finally, the four of us arrived at the place where Father was detained. Khun Amanu took P'Toey to contact and coordinate to request various information. with the officials inside Mom and I waited outside on a bench. After a while, Brother Toey and one of the officials came out to follow me and my mother inside to meet my father.

“Dad..how are you? Don't be afraid. We've come to help.” Mother Prie went in and asked. while holding his father's arm firmly As he lowered his head, he surveyed his father's torso and limbs.

“Oh, it's okay..Hurry up and find the money to bail Dad out of here. Let's do it as quickly as possible." Father's voice replied to mother. along with holding his mother's hand out of his own and pushed her mother to sit on a nearby chair. Father's eyes looked at me. Then nod to greet Khun Amanu, P'Toey and Father.

They talked about the details of the events that had taken place from the time Father arrived here until he was captured. After that, the uncle advised about the details of the steps for applying for bail for the father. along with informing the amount of money required for bail An amount of up to 500,000 baht

“Damn Inspector. He lured us to be captured here. in order to create big works Probably hoping to move away from this border station.” His father's jaw clenched together in anger. Betrayed by a dear friend We ate and traveled together a lot. My father takes care of everything. I couldn't imagine that we could do it. When talking for a while longer

Until the end of visiting time The officer came to warn him. So we all said goodbye to our father. Father's hand reached up and wrapped around Mother's shoulder and rubbed gently. It seems to be comforting. Before rushing in to embrace P'Toey tightly and then pulling away. P'Toey took Mom and led her out the door. Father stepped forward and grabbed both of my shoulders. Then he raised one hand and rubbed my head hard.

The eyes that looked at him were full of affection and affection. My heart was pounding with emotion. If I were a lawyer like Mr. Amnu, it would be good. I will be able to help my father now. But because I was only a high school student, I couldn't help. Even helping Mom and Brother Toey earn money to bail out Dad, I still don't have the wisdom..

(school)

I sat frozen in the administration room. Together with the whole gang, Pound, Fierce, Gun and Ohm.. Teacher Somsak walked around the front of the room for a while. along with calling our parents one by one To report the incident and request to come to the school immediately. It was less than an hour, but it felt like an eternity.

Everyone didn't talk to each other. There was only Fiat who smiled nervously at me, as if wanting to console me. It's okay..everything will be fine.

Yesterday, I decided to consult with friends. The story of the father being detained at the border checkpoint I want to help my mother and Brother Toey earn money to help my father as quickly as possible. I intend to borrow things from friends to use first. If I have a chance in the future, I intend to find them and return them to them. Now I'm really struggling. Even though Om had warned me that if caught he would definitely be severely punished

The matter of being caught smoking in the bathroom once before. with the kratom water case at the boy scout camp last year It still sticks with me to this day. But I don't have a choice. Hundreds of thousands of baht bail What Toei and Mother are rushing to find right now is still missing just a little bit. If I can earn 4-50,000 baht, that would be great.

Dad will be proud that even though I'm just a high school student, I can take care of Mom and Dad. But because of Chao Nong My roommate rushed in to meet us first. causing the plan we had prepared to fail completely I'm really fed up.

"Hoy! What are you doing?” A voice called out in shock. It retreated from the room to the front of the balcony of the school building. Pound and Fiaspri caught him and held on for a while. Until Nong's backpack opened and things fell out everywhere. I looked pitifully at the condition of the mobile phone that had fallen and hit the floor, broken into pieces. Meanwhile, Nong stared at me with resentment.

“Why are you teasing me? I've never done anything to any of you." Nong's breathless voice asked me. Because he was struggling to free the two arms that were being held from their restraints.

“Well, I want to tease you. I'm annoyed with you. Is something wrong?" I pretended to reply in an annoyed way. Normally, I like to tease and tease Nong regularly. Nong seizes the opportunity when Pound and Fies are unintentional. Shake yourself out of their bonds. Let out a flurry of punches. It entered my face. The feeling of sharp pain aroused me and I didn't hesitate to return the punch to my stomach until it fell down. before they all got into a scuffle until they could not count.

“People like you, don't interfere in my affairs.” My angry voice roared. With hands and feet pounding at Nong without stopping. Until it's steady..

The video clip from the security camera captured the entire incident. My friends and I watched the video clip on loop several times. along with other friends' mothers and parents after investigation Teacher Somsak and the director had us fill out a contract to receive our probation sentence.

and notify parents that an appointment has been made with Nong's parents Heaven's ruler and friends Let's meet tomorrow. The results of the mediation negotiations will be informed to us by telephone.

When I returned home and had a serious argument with my mother in the evening. I kept myself in my room. Thoughts revolved around his father. I want to help my father get back quickly. Being there, Dad must have been in a lot of trouble. After a while, Chao Kan shared the video clip from the CCTV camera for me to see. It has already been shared by some skilled person on social media.

Many people watch and share the video clips one after another.

“You bad boys! Let's do it again."

"Not just hurting a friend..I saw him stealing things too."

"TRUE! Really bad..really, kids these days.”

“Wait..just the same joke. My son is a good person.”

The comments are as long as a kite's tail. Who are these people? What right do they have to judge me? They didn't even know how much I was struggling..the force of my father's hand stroking my head. The loving and loving eyes that look at you It's still stuck in my thoughts like we just met a moment ago..no matter what anyone thinks. I will help my father.

The next day the school called to inform my mother that The families of Fah Ying-ing, Sai and Taew will file a lawsuit against me and my friends for theft and have them all agree to mediate at the police station. to record daily records as evidence and will report further legal action. Nong's father and brother

Report a criminal case for intentionally injuring another person. without asking for any compromises Ready to have a lawyer contact the investigating officer and send the case report to the prosecutor to order prosecution. The police issued a summons to summon me to meet with an investigator. So my mother contacted a lawyer, who was definitely the same Mr. Amanu. Then I was immediately brought to the police station to report the charges.

“How are you..Tiger? We meet again.” A cool greeting sentence in the style that Khun Amanu greeted me when we met. For the first time in my life, I felt deep guilt and shame. I don't know why either. I only know that I don't want to make you disappointed in me. It's true what mother said. Besides being unable to help his father I also created more problems. Until it became a burden for everyone even more.

At the police station, Pond, Fierce, Gun and Om along with everyone's parents and close relatives. Gradually, people came to meet and talk. After discussing and discussing for a long time So I informed Khun Amanu and mother of my wishes. I take responsibility for what I have decided to do alone. Because I don't want my friends to Those who tried to help me had to suffer as well.

After friends Released from the police station Pound and Fias received only punishments of being transferred to different schools. He had to give evidence to the court and was sentenced to probation for 1 year. As for Chao Kan and Om, I testified to the police that I had no involvement. with the whole thing Because there is no image of the two of them appearing in the video clip.

So Kan and Om only received probation for stealing at school. As for me, I have to be detained in a detention center while the case is being prosecuted. I heard Mr. Amanu tell my mother that she might have to serve 2 years in prison or a fine not exceeding 150,000 baht, or both.

After the investigation I confess because he surrendered with evidence and witnesses The police handed over my case report. Let the prosecutor order the prosecution according to the procedures. While being detained in an observation center I have had the opportunity to meet and talk with Mr. Amnu from time to time. Even in the worst situation in life

But I was happy every time my mother came to visit me at the observation center. along with Mr. Amanu that is often introduced and gradually Teach me to understand the court process and procedures. I like to listen to advice and learn about what I need to do when giving evidence in court. Including how to behave and live in this observation center.

Mother told me that Father had already been released from the border detention facility. I am very happy even though my father has never visited me here even once. Mother and Brother Toey gathered all the money they had to bail out Father until he was nearly destitute. Fortunately, P'Toey went to ask Grandma Yai to help pay for my legal expenses first.

Then I'll let my mother find it and give it back to me later. Mother seemed to be increasingly angry at Father. But he didn't tell me much. He only ordered me to take good care of myself while I was here. And mother will come to visit often.

The first time I was taken to testify under a subpoena. I am very excited about the processes and systems of working in the court. I keep an eye on the people walking around. Passing the long wooden bench on the balcony where my mother and I sat waiting. Even though it looks a bit chaotic, it's quite fun. I really want to know

How do I get to work here? While I was giving evidence in front of the court I met with the Juvenile Court Judge. She was a very kind and friendly elderly woman who gently asked questions. And let me tell the story of what happened in a relaxed manner, without pressure. Mr. Amanu gave me encouragement and said that I had done well.

After giving evidence in court several times In the end I was sentenced to 2 years in prison.

Shortly after being sentenced I was able to adapt and live normally in the detention center. Here we will be trained in discipline. Work skills and future careers. One day, Teacher Kulab, the building's duty teacher On the day it happened He went and asked to visit me at the observation center.

It was the first time someone from my old school came to visit me. I feel happy too..but I feel more surprised.

"How are things? Is it difficult here?" The first sentence the teacher asked after

I held my hands together in confusion.

“I'm used to it, teacher. It's not that difficult to stay here,” I answered truthfully. Teacher Kulap tells the story of her friends. At school, let me listen a little. Nong has transferred back to the same school at his mother's house. Gun and Om brought snacks that I like. The teacher said that all my friends were worried and missed me a lot.

He also asked about the details of my sentencing. Then we continued to talk and tell funny stories of me and my friends in the group.

“Have you thought about continuing your studies? Is there anything you want to do?” The teacher's question made me think about something I had almost forgotten about studying. In the past, I had never given importance to studying before. Until now

“Teacher..is a lawyer. What do I have to study?” The teacher was silent and acted like he was thinking about composing something for a while. And then gradually began to Explain it to me step by step. Starting from having to graduate from Mathayom 6 and then apply to study at the Faculty of Law at the university. Then go and pass the bar exam.

and bring the documents to be certified to take the exam to become a lawyer prosecutor or judge The teacher also suggested that I apply to study. NFE and continue studying at universities in this observation center as well.

I am sitting and reading a book in the probation facility's compact library. small bookshelf Arranged in a row, stretching along the wall of the room. In the middle is a table and chairs for sitting and reading. The cool stillness helps me relax and focus more. Tomorrow is my last final exam. I'm about to graduate from Mathayom 6.

before being released in the next 1 month Which would be just in time to apply for first year studies at the university I was aiming for.

I decided to continue studying. NFE in this observation center As Teacher Kulap has recommended for the past 2 years. Until now, nearing the end of Mathayom 6, I feel that I have grown a lot more mature. Be responsible and have goals in life Even though my mother decided to separate from my father While I was detained here, I never saw my father again.

Mother comes to visit almost every week. When I found out that I had continued my studies Mother was very happy and told me to study hard. It probably won't be long. When I was released from prison and released I planned to apply to study at the Faculty of Law. in an open university and will be a lawyer as intended

finish…
