The noise of the engine came from the car which was black Maserati GranTurismo Sedan was parked in front of the mansion hall, along to the marble stairways.

(*) Maserati is a brand name of luxury and high-performance Italian car that is prominent in design and good structure systems. It is extremely popular in Thailand especially, when you have GranTurismo model.

Even though it’s already midnight, the luxurious hall that was decorated with antique things still shining, which indicated the owner’s rank in society or should we say, status. The crystal chandelier shined because of soft light that was come out to it.

The school student whose body was filled with the smell of cigar and alcohol stopped his feet. At that moment, he looked at his mother who was sitting at their classic sofa that was beautifully woven in gold.

Lalita Sophaditsakul, the wife of former deputy commander in chief of the army looked at her youngest son. His son’s age was far from her other children. She saw that he looked tired physically and mentally.

The word “Tian”was the lucky name that implies the meaning of intellectual man. Although, the situation of this teenager boy who was in his twenties looked like an expensive item that has been wasted. His hair that reaches his neck that was colored in dark red. You can saw his face that has relaxed and sweet expression plus, his smooth white skin that was inherited from his mother.

Yes, it was white. As in pale that looked like a sick person.

“Why haven’t you sleep yet?” That hoarse voice was caused by the alcohol that he drunk at the bar.

“Because I’m waiting for you. Why you’re so late, honey?” The mother is now in her fifty, but still looked elegant when she wore a long sleepwear. She sat up and approached her little son looked worried as she saw her son increasingly sick day by day that made her heart anxious.

His thick eyebrows looked sharp, his lips trembled slightly, then smiled bitterly, “You haven’t slept just because you’re worried that I’ll be home late? Mom, don’t act like you couldn’t sleep just because you have to wait for me. Go to sleep, I’m also tired.”

He was not joking about that because he spoke the truth. His life covered with perfect outer shell that everyone admires, but it was just a lie. But, there was a big black hole in his inside.

General Theerayut and Khun Lalita, philanthropists, that daily attended charity events has an oldest son, which a military officer that following his father’s footsteps. He also received a scholarship to continue his military studies abroad, traveling with his wife.

The second daughter, she became famous and high-ranking young woman along with the news of marriage. She was divorced with no less than three people. Nonetheless, she was still remained confident in society and not anxious.

What about Tian, the youngest son?

His only skills was to make things that are not useful. He tried to study hard and graduate from a leading University in their conutry to make his parents proud of him.

After all, what did he got in return?

Tian clenched his fist, he felt uncomfortable. His chest ached like a dozen of stones struck him. The young man took a deep breath to relieve the pain that was getting more and more every day.

Lalita’s red eyes followed the boy’s back. From an energetic and cheerful child, he became like this since two years ago. Since when he knew about his condition, Tian started to be more frivolous and insensitive to everything in this world.

“Why do you have to hurt yourself like that, Tian?” Khun Lalita said as he grabbed his son’s wrist.

Tian immediately turned around and his face was turned pale, added a scowled tone in his answered, ” So, what do you want me to do? Keep smiling to face that? I am not a fool and I knew that I will die soon!”

“Who says this illness of yours will bring death? We will cure you, dear. Believe in mother.” Her soft voice trembled slightly. She knew that she was lying. No one can guaranteed that his son’s illness will be easily cured. Even the most talented doctors inside this country and abroad not sure what they should do to treat him.

And that’s the truth.

Tian Sophadisakul, an engineering student who was born with a golden spoon that has a bright future was waiting for his death.

Looking back in time…

It was second semester of the year, he was invited by his friends to play soccer to relieve stress because of the semester exams on campus was already ended. He began to notice the abnormality of his body. When he felt tired, sweat ran down through his face, his breathing felt rough, and his heart beat so fast. His chest cramps with pain as if something was struck inside and he suddenly completely lost his consciousness.

No one would have guessed that the incident had caused him to be caught up in his worst cycle of his life.

Your “heart muscle” has been “inflamed.”

The reason for this is that, the myocarditis virus that he had since he was a child, cause the outer membrane of the heart was no longer thick to enough to pump blood to feed his body. And this result would be worsened when he will not undergo to surgery.

(*) Myocarditis is a disease that causes inflammation in the heart muscle. This muscle enlarged, weakened the heart that created heart scar tissue and forced it to work harder to circulate blood and oxygen thou the body.

A heart replacement surgery..

But the opportunity to find heart donor and was also compatible with his heart tissue, was even more difficult than dying and reincarnating.

More than two years had passed, made his hope buried. They even used the power of money to make his name looking for donor’s heart lists.

Besides, the life energy of the eighteen years old boy changed. He grew into a young man who was filling up his hatred towards this injustice world.

Tian began to live more extreme than before. He drunk, teased girls, and caused problems everywhere.

..When he’s not happy, other people shouldn’t be happy!!

His sharp eyes that used to be bright turned around, he shouted, “Mom, don’t bother me anymore!”

He twisted his wrist to escape, but her grip was so tight that her plump, chubby body inside that lace pajamas lost balance and fell down the stairs several steps. Khun Lalita hugged her dislocated ankle and wept in pain.

As soon as he saw that, Tian immediately go to his mom.

“Mom! Mom, are you okay?” Feeling of guilt envelope him and his weak heart beat so fast. The state of a severe heart attack in his chest, it was spread that affect the other nerves.

Mr. Theerayut was awakened by the sound outside of his room. He jumped out in his bed and rushed out to see where’s the tingling sound came from.

When he saw the scene that his youngest son hugging his mother, calling for help on the floor.

“Dad, help me! Mom, fell from the stairs and injured her ankle!” Tian yelled at his father for help. He stopped like a statue at the top of the stairs because of shocked.

If there was anything else that made the former officer more dumbfounded than the image of his wife falling down the stairs. The face of his son now that was no longer white was turned to pale. His hand was stiff and tightly held on to his mother’s arms. He had to work so hard to resist the pain that he couldn’t cry out for help so loud.

Mr. Theerayut did not wait long, he immediately dialed an ambulance and it was arrived quickly. Lalita had to move to support the Tian because his slender body suddenly collapsed making his mother’s heart almost broken.

He slowly closed his eyes, even though his face still showed an unpleasant expression from the intense torture earlier. The long and tight hand gripped to the left of his uniform’s chest and the last sentence heard from him was a whisper near her ear.

“…bye, mom…”
