Nunew's POV

After a lot of cuddling, we got ready to check out from the hotel. We all separated going on our own way, Aunt Waan and Uncle headed to their place with P'Net and P'James while P'Max forced Nat to go to the hospital for a check-up. And at last me, Hia and Ying got in our car.

"Papa Nu, there's a programme at our school next week. Our teacher told us to come with our guardian. So...." She stopped talking fidgeting her fingers.

"So?" I urged her to continue.

"So... Please come with me. Papa Nu, you know I requested Dada to come but he said he to go somewhere and it is... it is very important."

"Oh, I see." I nodded my head playing along with her.

"Hm... Papa Nu, You are coming with me, Yes? Please!!" She grabbed my hands and looked at me with pleading eyes and a pout. Gosh, she knows her strength.

"Okay, I will go with Ying. Happy?"

She vigorously nods smiling.

"Thank you, Papa Nu." She hugged me tightening giggling.

_______________Next Week______________

8 A.M.

"Ying, wake up. You need to get ready for the school function. Hurry up! Lovely you don't want your teacher to scold you, right?" for the umpteenth time here I am trying to wake her up as gently as possible I can so that we can hurry and get her ready for the day.

"Pa...pa Nu, Prin.. c... need t...o sl...eep." She tries to cover her face with a duvet. Now, that's enough you little princess. You should've been awake a long time ago and this time I'm not going to be gentle. Here I come~

I jumped onto her tickling her non-stop.

"Papa Nu... haha it tickles... I will haha will wake up... stop please." that was easy, I should've done this instead of those failed tries.

"Come on, go wash your face get down for breakfast. I made your favourite smoothie."

After about 15 minutes, I hear footsteps noise behind. "You are done already. Good girl!." I  got her a small bowl of cereal and milk.

"How did you know? that~ that it was me," she asked me with curious eyes. "That's magic, honey. Now here's your favourite smoothie, you can enjoy your breakfast now." 

"Ishh delisush~." She said with a smoothie still in her mouth. I could see sparkles in her eyes looking at my way. I guess she really like smoothies, adorable~.

"Papa Nu, here... say ahh~~." she spins the spoon of smoothies towards my mouth. Me playing along with her cute antics opened my mouth and ate a mouthful.

"mmm~ It is delicious. Thank you, Ying."

8:30 A.M.

"Ying, are you ready? do you need any help?" After changing my clothes I got to her room, she was trying hard to button up her sweater.

"Ah~ yes please Papa Nu. Help me button this." She pouted her lips adorably.

"Aww come here~ I will help you."

"Alright! It's done. So, Let's go." I held my hands out for her to grab.

"Hehe, Let's go~."

At School

I got out of the car along with Ying and now everyone's eyes were on us. I told Hia we can go by bus but he was stubborn to let me win. Not caring about the attention, I fixed Ying's hair and straightened her wrinkled dress.

"Shall we head inside, Ying?" I asked holding her arms. She looked at me and nods smiling.

Then we headed inside together. As expected there were many people in the school accompanying their children. I heave a sigh to ease my nervousness, I must relax.

"Oh, Yingying you are here." A voice called Ying. Soon a woman came to us smiling. I guess she is Ying's teacher...

"Good morning teacher, How are you?" Ying politely greets her teacher. Aww, she is so well-behaved. "Teacher meet Papa Nu. He came here as my guardian. He is cute, right teacher?" I almost choked when I heard what she said at last. "ahehe... please don't mind. Ying, what are you talking about?" I said lowly to her.

"Hello, I'm Ying's Chinese teacher. You can call me Mrs Shen."She spoke in a broken accent of Thai.

"Hello, Mrs Shen. Pleasure meeting you. I'm Nunew." 

"Excuse me for my terrible Thai. I just moved here 1 month ago, therefore I don't know to speak Thai well."

"Oh no no. It's alright."

"The programme will start soon, so please let me guide your way to the hall."

"Sure, thank you." I again held Ying's hand and followed Mrs Shen.

We reached the hall area and sure enough, there were many parents in the hall. Even though I had told Hia that I would be fine being within the crowd now that we are here, my palm is sweating and my heartbeat is quickening. I took a deep breath to calm down my racing heart and joined other guardians along with Ying. Unlike me who was having trouble striking conversations with other people, Fa Ying seemed very joyful talking and playing. She did even better than me in conversing with her friends' parents. Sigh, I think I need to learn from her.

"Dear all guardians, we would like to take a little with our children for a special performance. You are free to roam around the school area until we are done, later you will be called when the function resumes. Thank you." An announcer announced in the mike. Soon, every child was called by their teachers.

Since it was stuffy inside the hall, I decided to go out for some fresh air. The weather is so nice today. If Hia was here, it would have been even greater. I sat down on a small bench under a tree near the playground.

"I don't what know Zee Pruk sees in you." I was startled by a voice from behind. I stood up and turned around to look. It was Zee's grandfather, I knew this face when I had a flashback of my lost memories. The one who hurt Hia.

"Hello, gran- sir." I greeted him politely. Even though he doesn't like me he is still an elder to me.

"I tried so hard to separate him from you so that he could one day take over Panich's empire and held the business go up but YOU!, you are the reason he is now going against me. He was doing so much better when you were gone those past years. Didn't you see he made Panich's empire even more successful all because you were not there?"

" I don't understand what you are trying to say, sir. But as long as I live I will love Hia."
