"Doc." Keith suddenly looked at the person who called him.
"What is it?" He asks while signing the paper in his office. The person is not talking but he put a coffee on his desk.
"Doc, there's someone who wants to give it to you," he said and left the Keith office. Keith starts to frown because of the coffee. First, he doesn't drink coffee.
He read the letter stuck in the coffee.
'Good morning! Enjoy your coffee, see you this lunch break!' He read out loud without even noticing it.
'Why does this guy always give me the opposite food I want?" He said inside his mind like talking to himself. First, the spicy rice cake Zachary gave him, second, this coffee but he can't refuse it because he's worried that Zachary's efforts to give him food will be in vain.
He sips the coffee even if he doesn't like to drink coffee but still, he drinks it.
While Zachary was smiling because his mission was successful again.
He plans to visit Kaizer before he will come back to the hospital.
He drives through their subdivision and stops at Keith's house.
The kid is playing outside their house alone. He smiles and starts to press the bottom of their doorbell.
Kaizer noticed him and immediately ran toward him and opened their gate.
"Hi brother handsome," He said and hugged him. Zachary looked surprised because of what Kaizer did when he came back to his senses and caressed Kaizer's head.
"Hahaha don't call me that I feel shy you know," he joked to him. He started laughing because for some reason he was embarrassed to hear that thing from the kid.
"Then what should I call you?" He asks while his hand is pointing at him.
Zachary holds his chin to think and some nonsense words come into his mind 'phaw'. He suddenly shakes his head because of embarrassment.
"Just call me all you want but don't call me handsome because it'll make me embarrassed," Kaizer nods at him like an obedient kid.
"Then I call you brother then," he said with that Zachary smile and also nodded to agree.
Kaizer invites him to go inside, At first he refuses because he thinks that Keith will get mad at him if he goes without his permission but Kaizer forces him to go.
"Please brother, I feel lonely...." He said while pulling him.
"Ok fine." They go inside the house and finally Zachary surrenders to the child.
When Zachary explores his eyes inside the house. It's so clean the only thing in the living room is a TV and sofa and some pillow nothing else.
Kaizer pulled him to the living room until they sat on the sofa. "Welcome to our house," the child sweetly said. Zachary wanted to Laugh because Kaizer also put his hand up with an energetic voice.
"If your dad becomes mad at you, just tell me," he said jokingly. But also he was worried they were still not close to each other but here he was going inside to the doctor's house because of his son.
"Why do I need to tell you?" Kaizer asked, looking at him seriously.
"I punch him hahaha Just kidding I just want to know," he said Kaizer stared at him. It looked like the kid didn't believe what he was saying.
"But I just want you to be here," Kaizer's expression changed while saying that word. Also, it makes Zachary pat his head.
"Because if you let a person enter your house that you're not familiar with, your father will be mad, not only to you but also to me. I'm still a total stranger even though I saved you." He explains but the child looks like he doesn't understand anything.
"Hays don't mind it. Just don't do it again let's just say it's a secret to the both of us….. So let's play?" He asks. Kaizer nodded and he was confused about what Zachary wanted to point out but when he heard Zachary asking him to play he rushed to go to his playing room to grab some of his toys and when he came back they started to play.
They play snake and lather and puzzle also many more but Zachary can tell that Kaizer likes playing using his brain like they're playing.
They were like that until noon but when Zachary finally noticed the time he decided to stand up Luke stopped looking at the dice and raised his head to look at Zachary using his eyes to ask why he suddenly stood up without saying anything.
"Kaizer I need to go." Kaizer pouted but the next thing that Kaizer did was make Zachary stunned.
Kaizer starts to hug Zachary's leg for trying to stop him. Zachary didn't know what to do. Kaizer's reaction made him stop moving; it looked like he would cry anytime.
"But you'll leave me inside all alone again," Zachary knelt and tried to convince him by explaining why he needed to go but Kaizer began to cry. The cry that he was trying to stop but couldn't stop because he didn't want that Zachary to leave him.
"Ayyyss ok fine you want to come with me?" He asks but he looks at him while sobbing.
"W-where?" He wipes his eyes and Zachary helps him to fix Kaizer's look.
"To your dad," he said, a big smile on his face.
"You're not lying right?" He asks. Zachary shook his head and laid his hand to Kaizer.
Kaizer warped his hand to Zachary and Zachary lifted him.
They walk out of the house and straight to Zachary's car.
He puts Kaizer in the passenger seat and drives slowly Even if he used to drive faster if they're a child he needs to be careful and don't act recklessly.
"Are you ok?" He turned a little to ask Kaizer and put his attention back in the front.
"Yes, are you sure Daddy won't get mad if he sees me there?" Kaizer asked him. Zachary wanted to pinch Kaizer right now. He looked cute while he was worried.
"I'm not sure but don't think about it okay? You want to see him right?" Zachary tries to convince the child not to be afraid even if he feels a little nervous about Keith will reaction that he will get his child with him to come to the hospital.
"Hmmm, are we staying there until his work is done?" Kaizer asked again. Zachary smiled 'This child never runs out of questions' he said inside his mind.
"No, we just send him some food and we will go back to your house or I can get his permission if I can bring you to my house," he said. He feels that Kaizer is looking at him. Zachary came to that conclusion because if he felt to Kaizer that he needed to come back to his house Kaizer would cry again.
"Are you alone in your house?" He asks. While his eyes were sparkling.
"No, there are many animals in there you can play with them," Zachary said. The animal he mentions is his gang.
His gang used to be in his house. They have settled there. He is not complaining because they are the only ones he knows, his parents are in the state doing their business and he is the only one left alone in their house.
"Wow, what kind of animal?" Zachary wanted to laugh at this moment because Kaizer believed that he kept some animal.
"Some dogs and cats," he said while suppressing his laughter.
"Wow I'm excited to see them," Kaizer looks excited to meet the animal he mentions.
"Well if your dad allows us you can go, but first we need to give him some food," he said and parked his car. When they finally arrive at the mall he asks what Kaizer want
They order pad kra pow ( fried basil ) for Keith and
gai tod khao neaow (Deep-fried chicken with sticky rice) For Kaizer. When they finish ordering they go back to Zachary's car and start the engine a little while Kaizer starts questioning him again.
"Brother, can I ask you something?" Aizer starts to ask some questions again while they're currently driving through the hospital.
"What is it?" Zachary asks. Still, the eyes are focused on the road.
"You know my dad? Are you close to him? Why are you giving him some food?" Zachary's eyes widened from what Kaizer said.
"Oh we're here," He said. To avoid that question he can't tell the real reason. That's why as soon as possible he needs to avoid it.
He turns to the passenger seat and starts carrying the child.
They won't need to find Keith because he is at the hospital entrance while talking to the nurse. When Kaizer notices his dad, he begins to shout.
"Daddy!" He shouts. The two of them looked at Kaizer and Zachary direction. He saw Keith raise his eyebrow like he was asking why both of them were there in that place.
