The Drowned

" 1 "

The third of October

Mid-Autumn.. moderate rains and a mild climate..the leaves fall from the trees and add color to the grounds of the gardens of Spain . And When someone's car stopped in front of one of the garden gates, he noticed that beautiful color, even on the sidewalks of the streets, then he noticed the passers-by and their warm autumn clothes, and he even noticed the preparations for Halloween (Monsters Concert) , the traffic light turned green, and his car drove quickly on the road to take him to the airport .

All the way he stared at the window with his long black hair up to the middle of his back and tied at the back with a black ribbon, leaving bangs of his hair on both sides of his face, dark skin and green eyes . His parents' inheritance . Because his mother is Spanish with dark skin and green eyes, but he inherited his height, large body, and facial features from his father, who was Italian .

His calmness and the features of his cold face prove the extent of the wars his body suffered and silently.. The car stopped and the guards hurriedly unloaded his bags and entered them inside the airport. He got off after the guards opened the door for him.. black clothes.. a long coat.. gloves and a mask covering half of his face.. he walked through a gate The airport, even the waiting hall, is surrounded by six guards.

He stood close to the inspection gate, two people came out to him, bowed to him, and pointed with their hands towards the side gate so that he and his guards could pass without saying a word. Along the passage towards his father's private plane, he was surrounded by his guards. Since the last attack that happened to him, his father has tightened his guards for him, although he is on bad terms with him. His father and they both hate each other, but the father tries to protect his son in various ways.

He entered the gate of the plane to be greeted by the hostess. And like every time, he ignores everyone around him, as if he is forced to live this way. The plane took off, and the person sitting closed his eyes trying to sleep while sighing, remembering his childhood, then the talk of his colleagues at his university, and that only a year passed before he returned to his country where he was born, even though his parents are not Thai.

His father's private plane can accommodate ten people.. A section is for the son and the rest is for the guards.. The man got up from his place and headed towards the bathroom to change his clothes. The road from Spain to Thailand takes a long time.. approximately 13 hours. The young man changed his clothes and fell asleep for a very long time, then got up and went to take a shower.

He was standing under the water, letting it drip wet his hair and body. He turned around and that tattoo appeared on his back from the end of his neck to the middle of his back. He tattooed a winged cross in an elegant and attractive way. He tattooed it on his back after he opposed his father and converted to Christianity, even though his parents were not like that.

After getting out of the hammam and drying his hair, he spent the rest of the last five hours reading his usual book, which was written in French. The flight attendant gave him his food, but he did not eat. Just drink a cup of coffee and continue reading it, so one of the guards approached him, saying

(Young master, there are four hours left to get home, what do you order me to do?)

The young man raised his head and stared at the guard. A lock of his hair rebelled, leaving the others behind his ear. He spoke saying:

(Tell my dad I don't need a pile of useless guards, okay?)

The guard answered

( Yes sir )

The guard turned back to his place in the cockpit, and the young man looked at him with his green eyes, then he turned his eyes inside their sockets and returned to reading . The plane arrived at Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok, and the guards disembarked with their master and surrounded him to protect him.

He walks dressed in a luxurious black suit from Ermenegildo Zegna, with a burgundy silk shirt and shiny shoes from Salvatore Ferragamo. In his left hand is a Rolex watch from a famous Swiss brand, and its color is a mixture of black and silver, and a silver ring from a fashion brand of a casual black type on the middle finger of his hand. He wears a black glove in his left hand and an earring in the form of a black cross in his right ear from the brand One Sing.

In the middle of the airport he and his guards stood, and let his hair fly in the breeze while he sighed after noticing the guards advancing and being led by the chief guard. Then the young man shifted his gaze to the guard and hit the book in his chest speaking

(Didn't I tell you to tell the senile old man that I don't need foolish guards to pick me up at the airport? What is that?)

The chief guard approached him. A tall man with short hair, white skin and Asian eyes. On his hand is a snake tattoo, the rest of the tattoo is hidden under the sleeves of his black suit. He bent down, and the wired earphone hidden under his clothes appeared, as well as the tattoo of a watch behind his right ear. As for his left ear, a small part of the top was cut off. He said

(Welcome back, Mr. Nathan, I hope you have a safe journey.)

Nathan looked at him and then walked past him, speaking politely

(Hi, P Sky, how is the senile old man and my mother and the house?)

The chief guard answered him respectfully, while looking at the guards and pointing his hand at the cars. Twelve guards' cars, and in the middle is his family's luxurious black car.. Nathan learned that his mother had sent it because she knew of his love for the color black. He sighed for the thousandth time and got into the car to take him to his father's house.

Nathan rolled his eyes into their sockets and spoke

(Fine mom, just tell me, when will your dementia husband stop trying to protect like a child, I'm grown up mom I'm 25 now, just for him to stop being overly protective of me)

His mother addressed him with a little firmness

(Boy, this is your father you have to respect him, you are his only son of course he will be worried about you and you know your father's enemies and how they are waiting for the moment to overthrow him)

Nathan kept silent, crossing his arms to his chest, putting one leg on top of the other, then he addressed her again without looking at her

(I don't want a big reception at home, you and my father are enough to receive me)

His mother smiled at him and shook her head, then hung up and the screen returned to its place. Nathan turned his eyes to the window, staring at the road, which was of course empty. This is a private road away from the traffic and the long drive.

His car reached his family's huge house, consisting of three floors, with a brown-colored house gate, followed by a large green garden with a path in the middle, and on each side a large fountain in the middle of which was a jug from which water overflowed into the middle of the fountain. And then finally a big iron gate opened to let Nathan's car in. The car entered while the rest of the cars left behind the house towards the back gate.

The guard, who was standing near Mrs. Aranda, Nathan's mother, came forward and opened the door for him, so that Nathan got out and approached his mother to hug her. Her son is taller than her and more massive, just like his father. The father came forward after leaving the gate of the house and walked towards Nathan, and next to him was Sky, the chief guard, and he stood, putting his hands in the pockets of his pants, speaking

(Finally the tramp returned to his home.)

Nathan answered, advancing further, raising one of his eyebrows

(I'm a bum, but handsome and stronger than you, you senile old man)

Aranda was afraid that her husband Ferro would be angry with her son, but their reaction and their laughter as they hugged each other surprised her a lot. In the midst of Nathan embracing his father, his smile disappeared, and he pulled his father's weapon from his waist, quickly moved away, turned around, and fired a bullet at the head of the guard standing behind his mother.

His mother was very frightened and covered her ears with her hands and stared at her son's silent face. Nathan returned the weapon to his father and walked away, ignoring his parents' questions. He steps into the house while quietly unbuttoning his suit, then stops to answer his father speaking

(Traitor, your guard that you set to protect my mother is a traitor)

He climbed the marble staircase in a maroon color, and the staircase wall was made of black iron, and it was adorned in the form of flowering branches, and it was painted in a wonderful golden color. Nathan reached the middle of it, then stopped and turned around, listening to his mother's conversation

(My son, don't sleep long, your uncle and his daughter are coming)

Nathan looked at her as he raised his eyebrows and then continued his steps upstairs speaking

(Do not allow anyone to come up and knock on the door, because I will go to sleep, and if someone knocks on the door and disturbs my sleep, I swear to you that I will go out and shoot his skull, even if it is your niece. Do you understand what I said, mother?)

Aranda sighed, shook her head in despair, and walked towards the kitchen to supervise the maids in preparing lunch, specifically Nathan's favorite dishes. As for Nathan, after he entered, he locked the door of his room and walked after taking off his shoes on the luxurious coffee-colored carpets, raising his head and staring at his room.

I miss her so much. He stood in the middle of the room, staring at his coffee-colored window curtains, as well as his bed and the sheets on it.. Everything was coffee-colored. He thought about changing the decor of his room. He walked towards his bed, took off his suit and shirt, and walked bare-chested into his room towards his dressing room, and when he opened the door automatically, the room lit up.

He entered stepping quietly, took off his earring, ring, and watch, and put each one in its place, then stood staring at his figure in the mirror, then removed his hair a little from his neck from the left side, then his eyes stopped on the glove of his hand, so he removed the glove, staring at his hand. The trace of burns on the back of his hand from the middle of his long fingers to the middle of his hand is a very clear burn to the public, but he hides it with a white glove. He came out of the dressing room, walking towards the bathroom, to stop at the sound of his phone, so he came forward, picked it up, and answered the caller. But his call did not last long, as he ended it with only two words

(after I wake up)

He threw his phone lightly on the bed and walked towards the bathroom, which was made of white marble and contained a bathtub, toilet, water shower, a large mirror, and below it a medium-sized sink, and a cabinet for Nathan's toilet papers and toiletries, as well as clean towels. After showering, he went out and sat on the bed drying his hair without a shirt and wearing only black cotton pants.

No one dared to knock on the door, because if Nathan said that he would shoot the head of whoever knocked on the door, then he would shoot. At three in the afternoon, he woke up with his eyebrows furrowed because his phone was ringing, so he pulled it out and answered in an annoyed voice after he saw who was calling.

(What's wrong with Casper? Didn't I tell you after I woke up? Why are you calling?)

Called Casper spoke in a semi-screaming voice, saying:

(Nathan told me, didn't you get enough sleep? It's three o'clock now. I called you three times and you didn't answer, so I called your mom and she said she can't wake you up for God's sake. Do you like your laziness?)

Nathan sighed and got up in annoyance, swearing, then turned on the microphone and walked to the bathroom to wash his face. He came out hearing Casper's screams, then ignored him and walked towards the dressing room. He took out the clothes he needed and went to his bed, putting his clothes on while he was talking

(Shut up Casper and stop screaming, I'm changing my clothes and I'll come in half an hour)

Casper yelled, his voice filling the room from the phone's speaker

(Change your clothes? Open the camera to see you)

Nathan paused and fell silent as Casper rushed to speak

(I'm sorry, I'm sorry, then tell me when you'll come because I'm sick of staying here alone, I didn't leave a game I didn't play)

Nathan answered him while he closed the zipper of the black leather jacket from the brand Hugo Boss and put on his gloves and put on his sports shoes from the brand Nike, then he got up while saying, while picking up his phone and leaving the room

(fifteen minutes and I'll be there)

He hung up on the phone and quickly called his mother. His hair is still in the form of a braid, and the wispy tufts of his fringe make him look more handsome. He stopped at the end of the stairs while seeing his mother's friends and their daughters, and only one of them had her son with her, because she had no daughters. His mother got up and spoke to him

(What's up, Nathan?)

He walked towards the maid who came towards him carrying his helmet and the keys to his bike and presented them to him and bowed and then left, so Nathan turned around looking at his mother while holding his helmet speaking calmly

(Mom, I'm leaving now. Casper is waiting for me.)

His mother spoke

(But my son, we have guests and you didn't eat your lunch and I didn't want to wake you up)

He answered her as he put on his helmet and fastened the belt to prevent it from falling

(Your guests, not my guests, and I have no need to be here, and secondly, I have no appetite for anything, Mom.)

He removed his helmet a little, went down kissing her cheek, then put his helmet back on and walked towards the door where Sky was standing with two guards holding his bike. He rode it and drove away while remembering that day. It was rainy and similar to this day, but the only difference is that the rain that day did not put out the fire at the time.

He sighed and hurried at his command, then reached the bar. Casper's guards greeted him politely, and one of them took the helmet from him and parked his bike. As for him, he walked alone, overtaking some. The length of his stature, his clothes, and his braided hair are eye-catching, and even his handsomeness and the sharpness of his gaze make all girls look at him, and even some boys.

One of the bar staff came forward and led him to the VIP room on the second floor of the bar. It is a closed room, soundproofed, and one of its walls is a glass overlooking the large and crowded bar hall, which can be seen from one side. And there are two large couches of a luxurious type, and a table with nuts and a cup, as well as a bucket containing ice, two bottles of wine, and a bottle of vodka near the Casper cup.

He entered and closed the door to get up Casper, who was sitting on the sofa, putting one leg on top of the other, with a provocative smile on his face, and greeting him in the usual way as they were in the past, as if they had not been away from each other for five years. Casper is an Italian young man from a Thai mother and an Italian father. He acquired his white skin from his father's mother, blue eyes from his father, and black hair from his mother.

He has a tattoo on his neck on the right side in the form of a wolf, he wears a jacket and under it a light clip-on T-shirt that shows his white skin color, and a tattoo on his waist on the left side, a tattoo of a fire phoenix. Nathan sat on the sofa in front of Casper and his gaze did not change. That anger still held his eyebrows as it was. Casper spoke and tried to tease him while holding his vodka cup.

(What's with that murderous look of yours? You scare beauties like that.)

Nathan sighed and extended his hand towards the bottle of wine to open it. Casper noticed the glove that Nathan was wearing. He kept silent for a few moments. It is not Casper's habit to remain silent for a long time, as he is a lot of chatter.

Casper put the glass back on the table and looked at Nathan, who was drinking from his wine glass and staring through the glass at the people and their hustle, so Casper spoke.

(If you hide your burns from people, why don't you perform plastic surgery on them and end the matter)

Nathan looked at the glove of his hand, then turned his head quietly toward the window at the dancing bodies in the bar hall and spoke softly.

(I don't want to, I just hide it to avoid people gossiping)

5th of October

Six in the morning, the sun is shining after two long and rainy days. One of the rooms on the second floor has a white wood door and a golden handle. The grandmother entered the room to wake her grandson. Red carpets and a medium-sized window with white curtains adorned with some twigs and golden flowers. A single bed with oak-colored sheets, and on both sides of the bed are small wardrobes.

The grandmother stood staring at her grandson, who she found awake and sitting in his bed, holding his hands together in front of his chest. Golden hair with white skin as if the sun had never been touched. A red nose, cheeks, and lips. Whoever sees it will think that it is a Greek deity of great beauty. He inherited all his beauty from his mother, and he did not inherit from his father except the shape of his face. As for the features, they are all from his mother.

He raised his head with a smile and opened his eyes, which were like emerald blue because of the intensity of their blueness and beauty. He did not raise his head and stared at his grandmother, but was staring at nothing so that his grandmother would sit and put her hand on his cheek, speaking.

(Good morning my little grandson)

Lying in his bed answered her

(Good morning grandma)

His grandmother moved urging him to get up, pulling the cover away from his body, to help him stand up, as she suppressed her pain in her chest, and called on the servants to arrange his room and prepare breakfast in the garden, because it was a sunny day.

Aran, a 20-year-old boy, has been blind since birth, and the doctor told his parents that he can perform his surgery when he reaches the age of 12 for the sake of his safety. But to the irony of his fate and misfortune, when he was ten years old, he had a terrible car accident, so his parents died, and he survived with circumstances unknown to him. He grew up and grew up with his grandmother and uncle, and his behavior changed with the days, and he became more accepting of himself and more calm.

Aran is good at writing, because his grandmother taught him how to write in English, Thai and French, in two normal ways, as well as for those used by the blind, and he also speaks these languages fluently. He is also good at drawing, as he imagines the painting in front of him and uses his intuition in drawing, so he is incredibly creative, as well as singing, but he does not sing unless he is alone.

He went out after combing his hair and arranging his clothes, and went down the stairs quietly, as he memorizes every corner and corner of his house. He stood at the top of the staircase made of black granite stone decorated with white stone with a white iron fence. The house was also painted in a color similar to the color of sugar, and his grandmother arranged the curtains and sofas, as well as the carpets for the house, in a dark blue color tilted to black.

He sat at the table quietly eating his food and after he finished he went back to his room. He spends his whole day in his room drawing and listening to music or reading. His grandmother is with him all the time, except for his uncle. He is always grumbling, always chatty, and also eccentric. Within three years, he has many guards, including those who surround the house. He also prevented his mother from leaving, as well as Arran, and they became locked in the house all the time. the time .

After noon, his uncle came back shouting Aran's name, so that Aran went down with his grandmother in a hurry, asking his uncle

(What's wrong with you uncle?)

To receive a strong slap from his uncle on the cheek, the grandmother screamed and grabbed Aran and scolded her son while he shouted

(This blind, disobedient, prostitute refused the request to transfer from his property to mine, I needed some money)

Aran shouted at him angrily, covering his cheek with his hand and holding back his tears

(Yes uncle, I asked the answering machine on my phone to refuse your request. This is my property. You took everything, my grandmother’s property and my parents’ property and now you want my property. I am a blind person and I need it for myself)

His uncle wanted to hit him, but his mother prevented him and begged him to back off, so that the uncle would scream and turn away from him and leave angrily.The grandmother helped Aran to get up and sat him down, while she picked up the ice bag from the hand of the maid and wiped on Aran's cheek while she spoke softly.

(Why didn't you agree to the request? Is it cool to receive a beating from him every time you refuse his request)

Aran kept silent and did not speak .

October twenty-fifth

A very rainy and very cold day, Nathan and his father returned home after a long discussion and decided to raid their enemy's house. They would not put themselves in danger but would send Sky. Nathan entered wearing his black coat surrounded by fur in the shoulder area and wearing gloves while his father was beside him wearing a brown coat.

They entered the house and behind them Sky walked to find Aranda standing with her hair open to the middle of her back and putting on a little make-up and her tight red dress that had an opening from the bottom to the middle of her thigh and another opening at the back. Ferro turned to the back but did not find Sky so he walked back towards her while asking her about the reason for the adornment. Turn off the lights, Nathan understands that today is his father's birthday.

His uncle and Liliana introduced his daughter while she was smiling, and then his grandmother came out carrying her son's birthday cake. Nathan adores his grandmother very much, but remains very quiet for his father's sake. He stood away staring at his family and how wonderful they are. His grandmother came forward and stood beside him so that he could turn around and hug her in a whisper

(I miss you grandma)

his answer

(And here I am, and I will be with you for a long time)

Liliana hates Nathan's grandmother because she calls her the ugly blonde because Liliana is blonde with black eyes, but she is rude and sharp-tongued. After taking off his coat, Nathan sat down wearing black pants and a chain attached to it hanging down to the middle of his thigh, as well as a tight T-shirt with long sleeves that showed the topography of his chest, back, and shoulders.

Liliana walked to sit next to Nathan, but the grandmother preceded her and sat next to him, so that Liliana returned to sit next to her father with a slight anger. The grandmother got up moments later towards the kitchen, and Liliana followed her, and Nathan claimed that he did not see her and got up quietly, followed her and heard her talking to his grandmother

(I want to tell you something, Grandma. No matter how close you are to Nathan, in the end, Nathan will be my husband, and I don't think there will be a place for you, right, Grandma?)

To be surprised when Nathan enters and talks to his grandmother first

(Grandma, can you make me a cup of coffee?)

His grandmother shook her head and turned, and Nathan looked at Liliana and spoke, directing his words at his grandmother

(Grandmother, do you know that I am thinking of breaking off the engagement? From the beginning, I did not agree to the marriage, but I only respected my father’s opinion. What is your advice to me?)

His grandmother was laughing in secret, as her grandson is good at manipulating words in a crazy way, so she kept silent, gave him his cup of coffee and walked with him leaving the kitchen, leaving Liliana alone in the kitchen, smashing with sadness.

*

The next day, Aran's grandmother's condition worsened, so she left him alone, and his uncle's guards took her to the doctor. It was still raining, and Aran stayed in his room and never left. The electricity system on which the heating works in all rooms is designed to raise the temperature every time the weather gets colder.

In the evening, the temperature in Aran's room rose because of the cold weather. Neither his grandmother nor his uncle returned. The house is also quiet. Aran moved from where he was sitting in front of the piano playing and went to his wardrobe and took out a light shirt because he felt hot.

He wore it and heard the sound of cars, so he thought his grandmother had arrived. He came out of his room, took two steps, and heard the sound of gunfire, then the sound of steps inside the house, then the sound of gunfire in the middle of the living roomAran flinched and stopped

(Who's here? Grandma?)

He received a punch from his side and fell from the top of the stairs. He was wounded at the top of his forehead from the left side, and a wound near his mouth and on the edge of his lip, as well as some scratches. His white shirt turned red because of the color of his blood, and even his hair got a share of the color of his blood. He kept silent even though they asked him a lot and he was severely beaten to hear someone say

(Take him to the car, Mr. Ferro knows how to make him talk.)

Two men carried him, one of whom noticed his eyes staring at nothing, as if he had lost something. All that Aran heard and felt was that he was sitting between two men and the car was moving with him, and he got wet because of the rain and that he felt cold.The car arrived and they took him down. He was walking by force, his hands tied with handcuffs, and he did not know his steps.

He fell several times and they helped him get up while they were grumbling, his body was shaking, but he heard the voice of many men and heard their whispers, and he was able to smell lavender, and from its smell he knew that it was blue lavender, and he also felt the amount of warmth that suddenly came to him from in front of him, so he knew that there was a door in front of him.

One of the men pushed him hard, and he stumbled and fell to his knees in front of one of them, so he felt it.
