The owner of the tired face carried his body all night studying for exams and headed straight into the medium-sized bus station. Not far from the main road of the city. This area is full of cars rushing back and forth. This is a result of the New Year festival when many people return to their hometowns.

He tentatively walked up to the light blue uniformed employees at the ticket booth, carrying a small backpack. He wasn't a person who traveled often, so he was acting awkwardly this time.

In an instant, he found the distribution channel he wanted. Hand raised the phone, scanned, paid and received a ticket for the Bangkok-Suphanburi bus. before walking to sit and wait for the bus near the number box that was indicated on the thin paper ticket. His eyes moved down, looking down at the old wristwatch, hoping to see the time through the shattered dial.

Shouldn't the van be able to arrive by now?

similar to nature, sympathy Help clear doubts immediately. The sky, which had originally been dark from yesterday until now, suddenly began to rain heavily, staining the scenery in front of us like a curtain of smoke.

He scanned his surroundings until he noticed an LED screen showing the liquidity on the road. The red graphic line gives a good indication of the reason for the current delay.

If he could choose, he himself wouldn't really want to get in the car here. It wasn't because the place was crowded with people. Or have to face difficulties in traveling, but it is because the environment is not attractive to just glance around for just a fraction of a second. The surrounding scenery can easily make anyone feel depressed.

This is because the station is built under a tollway which is a hidden corner of the city. It is similar to indirectly indicating how people in the city accept having to accept people from other provinces. Anyone who has been to this point can clearly understand the term second class citizen.

The time did not pass as quickly as expected. Passenger van number 88 moves into the bus station. Change passengers When everyone including himself came up and sat down. The driver immediately headed to Suphanburi Province, which was his destination.

“I heard that you drove through the rain. The road is slippery and turns sharp. Both husband and wife died instantly.”

“Tao Tang...now there's only one generation left. One's real child is another. I saw that the eldest was about to enter university as well. Who will send it?”

“I don't know about that, but looking at that, I think that Uea would sob and cry like he would suffocate to death, like his grandparents died. When it came this time, I didn't see any crying. Have you already died, even though we really are the same family?"

“It must be the karma of that couple. His own child is as proud as the son of a judge. As for the child, who is stuck with her ex-husband, he puts the burden on his father to let his own mother take care of him.”

“Are you saying that karma is your nemesis or what?”

"I didn't mean it like that..."

The sound of chatter mixed with the sound of the rain and the song of an auspicious event echoed inside the pavilion. Not too far from the district, the small village where he lived with his grandparents had few residents because most of the area was rivers and canals. Nowadays, we mostly travel by car or motorcycle.

Unaccustomed to rowing a boat in the riverbank It is one of the reasons why his generation moved to the city. The remaining people in this village were all old people and all knew each other. Therefore, when someone loses, they all acknowledge it. Then they all came together to sit on their knees and gossip. Sighing with satisfaction at the fate of others.

Now he sat quietly in a corner, alone on the temple mat. Receiving a drinking glass from a little boy Then leave the duties of being a biological child to the burden of your half-siblings instead.

tight!

Suddenly, there was a noticeable sound of feet pounding on the floor of the temple pavilion. His steps gradually came closer and closer until the shadow fell completely on his lower body.

He turned his head and looked at the owner of this rude act. In front of him stood a chubby young man under a black shirt, looking at him wide-eyed, as if intent on declaring that the two of us could not live in the same world. Those eyes were red with anger that was far beyond ordinary dissatisfaction. He had noticed this after listening to the will that his adoptive father had left.

But he didn't have time to ask the familiar face about his distress. The other party turned their backs on him. then walk back Leaving him sitting there confused...

Late at night, after the monks finished chanting He carried his exhausted body back to an old wooden house under a tall bag. Lie down on the big bed that you used to sleep with your grandmother when you were young. Fragrant bedsheets without the smell of fabric softener. The pillows and blankets were slightly dusty. But due to his drowsiness, he was unable to pay attention.

He raised one hand to massage his temple. Both eyes were slightly blurry, staring at the blank ceiling. His once complete consciousness was now reduced by nearly half due to exhaustion. But still, my eyes couldn't take my eyes off the tens of thousands of raindrops outside the window. The organs under his skull brought back unforgettable memories...the story of him and his stepfather on a rainy night.

Today would have been an ordinary day like any other day before, if it weren't for the fact that today the boy woke up to find strange and disgusting things all over his body. Makes it clear the nature of the person he respects and loves like his birth father.

Last night, Eua didn't even know when she fell asleep. His real mother's words had awakened this middle school student to force himself to stand up in a drowsy state. No matter how much the smell of dirt and humidity from the rain makes you lazy, you must try to get out of bed if you don't want to hear unpleasant words from anyone.

Eua intends to go out and wash her face and brush her teeth. Go about your normal daily routine without paying attention to the high-pitched voice like every day because after your grandparents passed away from old age and moved to live with your mother's new family, you often heard these types of words. These things then become a habit.

But suddenly the young man felt a shiver spread throughout his body. On his naked body, completely naked. Both legs suddenly stopped. Acknowledge that something is different from what it should be

Ua looked into his eyes in the small mirror next to the reading table. He moved his eyes down to inspect himself, unable to believe his eyes. Red marks resembling violent compression on his chest and thighs. Thick white liquid smeared on the front of his legs. swollen lips Green blotches adorn his face. And the pain in my head...

The young man's eyes flickered with panic. Standing there, spinning and unable to do anything for a moment. Suddenly, he was unable to prepare. His eyes caught sight of a figure standing in the room. Along with the sound of pressing the light switch, it sounded softly.

The lightbulb on the ceiling flickered on. A middle-aged man slowly walked closer with a smile on his face.

It's like the whole world stops. Everything around us became blurry from the tears that couldn't stop flowing. The noise from outside was so loud that it was impossible to understand. Your eyes blurred until you could see the person in front of you overlapping with the memories of last night when the humidity in the air began to form...

This stepfather came into Ua's life a few years ago. From the perspective of outsiders, this man might be viewed as a mature and intelligent young man. Good job and work hard to provide for the family Including both love and kindness like another child in the gut.

But tonight, the young man knew the truth: these words were all mixed with a disgusting lie.

If I had to mention it… everything happened too fast and violently for one child to resist.

That night...

The young boy was taken aback by the smell of alcohol wafting around his stepfather. Even though he was shocked that the other party opened the door of the room arbitrarily, his body was soaked with rainwater. But he didn't feel angry at all. Both hands moved away from the laptop keyboard. Turn your attention to the newcomer.

Suddenly, the older man pulled the young man onto the bed, straddling him on top of him, unable to even move any part of his body. One hand clamped over his mouth, the other slowly reached through his shorts and into his white panties. Tear and tear until it falls off your ankle. While fear took over the person beneath him, making him unable to make a sound or

His rough palms began to reach out and knead and squeeze the skin from the soles of the feet, the front of the legs, the hips, all the way down to the flat chest. and a terrified face Burying your face, inhaling the scent, snuggling into the crook of a person's neck. Then he moved his face down and caressed the breasts of the person he called his son.

Eua tried to resist. But the person in front of me was also trying his best to hold onto my arm and keep me from leaving.

One hand was forced to move down and touch the bulging middle of the other's body. His lustful voice commanded him to massage it in slow rhythms.

“Uea...” the older man called out drunkenly. Plus he said many more words, accompanied by the sound of the rain falling.

Ua wanted to shout out and ask for help from someone. But those words got stuck in my throat. A sob couldn't even escape. He could only use his little strength to ward off those disgusting touches.

An older man snatches the first kiss with the tip of his tongue scorching hot. Unwilling, he responded by biting the other person's lip with full force. But that action caused the emotions to surge even more than before. The calloused fingertips began to caress the boy's lower organs with rough palms.

Then he pulled away and pulled his hair so hard that his scalp was dripping with blood. He slapped his face over and over until it turned into a horrible bruise. His breath hitched with pain. My eyes started to blur. Then, the last image that could be remembered before the eyelids closed was the owner of the face with a distorted smile, pulling out that part of his body and lifting it up to place it on the front of his leg...

Fear grips my heart. The legs were weak and could no longer support the tired body. He fell to the ground with his body trembling. Fingers clenched in fear.

He didn't know what this man wanted. But the words that came out of the man in front of him made him remember this event forever.

“Eua, if you wake up then take a shower and get dressed and come down to eat. His mother has already called.”

"Today I woke up a little late, but it's okay. Last night I sat and did my homework until late...Dad understands."

If today we weren't in the monsoon period where the rain would come down, it would be a joke. Nights in the provinces are many times quieter than in the capital.

It is now almost midnight. He, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, was drowsy and woke up to the sound of creaking wood, similar to the sound of someone walking with heavy feet on the steps of the house in front of the room. He glanced at the old wooden door. Although nothing had happened yet, the noise outside made him subconsciously worry. Cold sweat soaked my back.

Since when did he become so paranoid?

It's a little loud enough to not wake the average person. But he had to rise up every time.

darkness, stillness and the sound of the rain These things made him feel restless every time. No matter how small it is

“Grack…”

Spinal cord tingles The hairs on my arms stood on end. He rose up. He picked up the mobile phone, which was the only solid object nearby, and held it tightly. The eyes must look at the door with a face looking at it.

Bang! tight! tight! tight!

The man pushed the door with all his might. Rushing forward to strangle him, he threw his body weight and pressed hard on his windpipe. Moonlight streamed through the window, shining on the intruder's face. It reveals a familiar face giving him disapproving glances at his stepfather's funeral.

The man in front of him had bulging temple veins. Grind your teeth until you see a raised jaw line. His breath was coming out in short gasps between his teeth and he was grinding his teeth with a face that was completely miserable.

The last thing heard before the picture was cut off with a ragged breath...

“Those inheritances must be mine! Only mine!”
