//Knock, Knock//

"Ai'Beam, did you order something online? Who's at your door?" questioned Phana doubtfully.

"No. I didn't order anything for months now," replied Beam tensed.

"Who could that be? Is the Italian Mafia get to us as well?"

"Ai'Pha, will you shut up. We are safe here,"

"Then, who is outside? They keep knocking on the door," stated Phana on defence as he was ready to fight anybody who walked past that door.

"Let me check," said Beam as he slowly approached the door.

On the count of three, he opened the door with Phana close by to attack the intruders.

"Ai'Kitty!!!" called out Beam as Phana stood in his spot, shocked.

Phana quickly opened the door wide to take a look at the intruders.

It was Kit with a girl who seemed older than them. Maybe older by few years, not more than that.

"Hi meng, I'm back," said Kit as he stood in front of both of his best friends.

As soon as Phana comes back to his sense, he launches on Kit as he hugs him tightly.

"Kitty!!!" called both Phana and Beam as they both hugged him in a big bear hug.

"I was so worried about you," stated Beam as he held Kit in his arms.

"I would have never forgiven myself if something happened to you," stated Phana as he hugged both Beam and Kit in his broad arms.

"I'm fine guys, P'San and Uncle Krist kept me safe," replied Kit as he returned the hug.

"All of us thought that we lose you due to our carelessness," added Phana dejectedly.

"It's none of your faults. Aiden was lucky enough to get me. But, I'm fine now. Don't blame yourselves," answered Kit with his dimple smile.

"We were so worried, Kitty," added Beam as he hugged both Phana and Kit together again.

"I'm back, guys and I'm good," replied Kit in the tight hug as he smiled sweetly at his best friends.

"Can we get inside first? It's better if we continue the reunion inside," stated P'San, who was watching the lovely get together in front of her.

"Oh yes. I'm sorry, P. Please come in," invited Beam as he opened the door wide to let P'San in.

"Thank you," she said as she made her entrance.

Upon taking a seat on the bed and the sofa, Phana hugged Kit once again. Phana is not someone who shows skinship or portrays his emotion in the open. Yet, here he is hugging Kit like his life depends on it and crying his eyes out.

"I'm so sorry, Ai'Kitty. I couldn't protect you," he stated as tears kept coming out of his eyes.

"What are you talking about, Pha~. It's not your fault, na," replied Kit calmly as he patted his back in circles.

"I was the leader of our Crazy-Doc-Gang, and I failed to keep you safe," Phana blamed himself again.

"Don't blame yourself, Phana. You didn't know. Nobody knows anything, and it happened so fast. Stop condemning yourself," consoled Kit softly.

"But,...."

"Oh shut up, Pha. Are you trying to make him feel guilty as well? I'm not up to babysit both of you, alright?" scolded Beam as he slapped Phana's head lightly.

"But..., I...,"

"Phana, you damn giraffe, stop it already," started Beam to scold Phana, and Kit cut him off.

"I don't hold anybody responsible for whatever that happened in the last five days. I'm glad that I could aid in catching the Italian Mafia and help bring a family close. So, stop worrying and bring us something to eat. Because I'm getting hungry," said Kit happily as he joked with his friends.

"Now that the problem is half solved, your stomach is back on action, Ai'Kitty?" teased Beam as he handed some snacks to both P'San and Kit.

"Yes, so what?" challenged Kit as he started to eat his snack.

"P-P'San, right? Do you need anything else, P?" asked Phana as he got himself together.

"I'm good with this. You guys sound lovely," she commented as she settled beside Kit on the sofa.

"Lovely? P'San, you just saw us bickering like a mad people, P" reminded Beam in confusion.

"Hahaha, Yes, and that was so cute to watch. It proves how much you guys care and love each other. You all are living friendship goals," she added as she smiled sweetly at all of them.

Phana's phone rang at the time, and he left the room to take the call.

In a few minutes, he came back rushing and opened the room door. The others in the room watched him in confusion as they wondered why he looked too worried.

As soon as Phana opened the door wide, Pete carried the unconscious Wayo into the room.

"What happened to him, P'Pete?" questioned Phana as he quickly let Pete lay Wayo on the bed and attend to him.

He checked Wayo's temperature and pulses to be sure. He also examined him for any bruises or wounds.

"He watched them taking Ming away," replied Pete worried.

"Wasn't that the original plan?" asked P'San calmly.

She knows her brothers so well, and she also trusts Uncle Krist on this mission.

"Apparently, Nong Ming made him work far from the spot and left him out of the plan to avoid Wayo from getting hurt. So, Wayo got dejected when he couldn't be a help to Nong Ming as he watched them bring him away unconscious," explained Pete sadly.

"Ming was unconscious?" asked Kit, bothered now.

"I'm sure that he is faking it," added P'San, unaffected by the injured Ming news.

"I'm sure about that too. But Nong Wayo got too worried and started to cry. Then he fainted out of a sudden. So, I had to bring him back first," said Pete calmly.

Kit, Beam and Phana look at them like they are seeing aliens. How can they be so calm and collected with that news?

"Let's let Wayo rest for a while. By the time he gains consciousness, Ming will be back safely," stated P'San as she sat beside the unconscious Wayo and caressed his cheeks gently like a caring mother.

"Why do I have to see you like this after so long, Nong Wayo?" she murmured as she settled beside him permanently.

"The other boys will be here in a while as well. Uncle Ben told us to wait here till he returns with Ming," stated Pete once everybody settled down.

Phana finally stops worrying about Kit, but now he is worried about his boyfriend. Beam and Kit patted Phana's shoulder softly to comfort him while Pete made himself busy by checking on the other boys.

//TIME SKIP//

"Bring him back safely, Chief Ben. I'll submit the collected documents and details about the black market, Mafia involvement and investments in our countries economy. I'll submit the report about today's incident to the headquarters in two days. And this Mafia gang ends today," declared Satan to the waiting Uncle Ben.

"What do you plan to do with these gang members? After all, you treated them like a family?" asked Uncle Ben.

"They are family. I treated them like a family now and even before all of this started."

There was sadness in his eyes as he stated that. And he continued talking again. "Yet, that doesn't mean that they aren't guilty of their wrongdoings. Some are willing to surrender and get their punishment by law. The unofficial and passive members agreed to leave this gang thing and live a decent life," said Satan calmly.

"And you are letting them go?" asked Uncle Ben with his gentle smile, which wasn't sweet at all. It was more like questioning Satan's judgement.

"Of course not. I'm keeping tabs on them. Once they break their promise to me, I'll take legal action against them. But before that. I'm giving them a second chance as you gave me," replied Satan confidently.

"I'll have my boys clean the spot. You should probably leave now with Nong Ming. Get him treated before you bring him to Nong Sanoh, or else she will sulk at me," reminded Satan gently.

"Hmmm," responded Uncle Ben as he dragged me to the jeep, who was standing there in a daze.

I thought people would be in a daze after a traumatic event or when they experience something terrible. For the first time in my life, I felt stupified, numb and in a trance for knowing the truth behind Satan. I blamed a man who has been helping my family and me behind the screen all this time. I blamed him for all the shortcomings in my life.

But, all he ever did was good for us. Then what about the murder plan at the lake house ten years back? Wasn't it Satan who tried to kill P'San and me in the lake house?

Only Satan could give answers to these questions. Those questions can wait till next time. Uncle Ben brought me to the hospital to get my bruises treated and drive us back to the dorm. Throughout the journey, nor did I ask him a question or did I say something to him. Maybe he expected this reaction from me in advance.

As Uncle Ben neared the campus, I became restless. My concerns about meeting P'San after so long and facing Wayo's angry punches increased. Apart from that worries, I was most anxious about my P'Kit Kat. Should I stay away from him? Will he hate me for that? Or does he even loves me after every danger I put him?

As I was in my thoughts, I didn't realise that the jeep stopped.

"Stop thinking nonsense and go up there. All of your friends and family are waiting for you. Especially Nong Yo. He is waiting to kill you," joked Uncle Ben as he tried to calm me.

I smiled weakly at him before I got off the jeep as I proceeded towards the dorm. Even though Uncle Ben's attempt to console me was lame, I appreciate it.

As I entered the P'Beam's room, I saw Wayo in P'Pha's embrace at one corner while P'Kit and P'Beam at the other with P'Forth and the engineering boys chilling around the room. I also noticed P'San with P'Pete and P'Kao, chatting casually. I don't know whom to approach first. My best friend didn't give me that trouble as he ran towards me as soon as he spotted me by the door.

"You bloody idiot," he cursed as he hit my arms with angry punches.

"I'm okay na, Yo," I said to calm him down, which did the opposite.

"My foot. Does bruised ribs and face, feels normal to you. Then why don't I add some too?" he asked angrily.

"Nong Yo, forgive him na. I'm sure Ming did that to protect you," consoled P'Phana as well.

"You don't support him, P'Pha~" he whined to his boyfriend while glared at me.

"Sorry, na," I said to him as he shoved me away before he returned to P'Pha's embrace.

"He got damn worried and fainted. P'Pete bought him here, and he only woke up a moment ago. Kit and your sister returned as soon as you get caught," explained P'Pha.

"I won't do it again, meng. I'm sorry, na," I confessed my apology.

"You better be. Now go meet others," Wayo softly said as he smiled weakly at me.

I turned away from Wayo and P'Pha to acknowledge others in the room. Most importantly, P'san and my P'Kit Kat. While I was once again in a trance to reach out to whom first, my eyes locked on P'Kit's eyes. He smiled gently like he always does as he signalled me to meet my sister first with his head move.

I followed his movement and saw my sister there looking at me with tears in her eyes.

"Mimi....," she called out happily.

My eyes got teary as I ran into her open arms.

"I missed you," P'San said as she cried.

"Guys, let get something to eat and be back in a while," announced P'Kit and P'Forth and P'Pha guided the rest of the boys out of the room to give us the much-needed privacy.

P'Kit smiled at us one last time before he accompanied the rest and left the room as well.

"Look how much you have grown in past months," said P'San as she caressed Ming's face softly.

"I didn't," replied Ming shyly.

"Is that so? Look how tall and handsome my younger brother is," she complimented him again as she ruffled his hair.

"What happened to you, P'San? How did you end up with Satan? I thought that you died on me," he asked worriedly.

"When you bring me to the hospital that day, I was bought into operation. But, after the surgery, when I gained consciousness back, I wasn't in the hospital. Some people kidnapped me from the hospital. As they were transferring me to another secluded place, Uncle Krist saved me from them," she explained.

"How do you know that he saved you? Maybe he was the one that kidnapped you in the first place," rebuked Ming.

"I doubted him and said hurtful words to him as well. But then I figured out that Uncle Krist was the one that saved us in the lake house ten years ago as well. He is not someone dangerous. If he were an evil person, he wouldn't have rescued me or protected me all this time. Uncle Krist even allowed me to attend my classes online with maximum security to avoid trouble," P'San elaborated.

"Do you trust him, P'San? Did you know that he is an NRI agent?"

"I knew that since the beginning. If Uncle Aiden didn't play with our lives, we would have spent our childhood happily with Uncle Krist as well."

"Then, I trust you, and I didn't feel inferior or in danger in his presence as well," added Ming.

"See. Uncle Krist is a sweet person. Outside the evil Satan mask, he is a complete saint," she replied as she giggled.

"He is everything but a saint," he reprimanded.

They become silent for a while as they look at each other with so much love. It's like they paint every inch of the other's faces in their brain.

"You got a wonderful faen there. Nong Kit was adorable," said P'San as she smiled warmly.

"He is. He is the most sincere and pure person I met," replied Ming with a proud smile, which turned into a frown soon.

"Why? What is troubling you, Mimi?" she questioned him with concern in her voice.

"I think that I should let P'Kit go. I should break up with him before it's too late. I'm scared for him, P'San. Keeping him near me, beside me, means that I'm putting his life in danger repeatedly. And, I'm afraid to lose him. If something happened during this whole incident, I would've never forgiven myself, P'San," he sadly revealed as tears made their way out of his eyes.

"Ohh, Mimi. You leaving him to protect him or breaking up to preserve his life will make him sad. He loves you wholeheartedly. You see things in black, and white and Nong Kit doesn't. You necessitate a spoon of that in your life.

You love and require him, Ming. Nong Kit is the one for you. In case you break up with him due to your own fear, that kid will lose his faith in love after this. Do you understand what I'm trying to convey here?" she asked gently.

"I love him so much, P'San. He is so caring and understanding. He is adorable and also handsome. He is so hardworking and mature as well. P'Kit is so selfless, and he will agree to the break-up even if he gets hurt because he will put me before himself," Ming said with a contented look.

"So, what do you decide?" she asked again.

"I decide to love him till my last breath. Whatever that comes our way, I'll protect him like how he guards me in his own way."

"So.....," she purposely drags her question.

"P'San, I'm going to look for my P'Kit Kat. I'll see you in a while, na," he said as he dashed out the door in a blink of an eye.

P'San could only smile at her brother's childish act.

Ming looked tired and slept deprived. He must be worried about everything. I know that he will question himself and will have trouble choosing whom to reunite with first.

Therefore, I let him met his long lost sister first. I have all the time on earth to wait for him. Waiting for a few more hours won't hurt.

All the engineering boys and my friends reached the food court below our dorm to grab something to eat. I followed them down, but I didn't have any appetite. So, I watched them eat while I played with my phone.

It's passed half an hour since I left Ming and P'San in the room, and I heard someone calling my name loudly from far.

Before I could turn around or guess who is that, Ming rushed into the food court as he kept calling my name loudly.

He engulfed me into his warm arms as soon as he spotted me in the middle of the food court.

"Ming, what happened?" I asked doubtfully and worriedly.

Because out of nowhere, my so-called boyfriend publicly hugged me after advertising my name to the whole food court.

"P'Kit Kat, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!" he screamed out his confession as he hugged me once again.

I could feel my cheeks getting warm as blush reached my ears. So, I did the next thing that is best for me at the moment. I hide my face in Ming's warm chest as I hold onto his shirt tightly.

"Hmmm. Me too," I shyly replied as Ming kissed my forehead tenderly.
