- Enter Benjamin?
- Yes sir, excuse me sir.
- Benjamin, we are not in the company, you can call me Oliver.
- Yes, Oliver.
- Tell me where you live?
- It's not far, you can continue talking.
Oliver left with the car, he was so charming, the wind was blowing through his hair, and I looked enchanted, the ride was so fast that in less than 30 minutes I could already see my humble house, but I got worried when I saw my father standing still at the door, he was always waiting for me, and if he saw me arriving with a fancy car he would kill me, before I got close to the door of my house I said.
- Ah Oliver, you can leave me here, here is good.
- But tell me where your house is, I'll drop you off at the door Benjamin, no problem, is it close?
- Yes boss, my house is over there, you can stop here.
I was shaking, my father couldn't see me, it would be too embarrassing, but since my father had eagle eyes, unfortunately he saw me.
-Benjamin? Son !
- Oh Daddy.
- And here you live, who is that gentleman who is calling you?
Very embarrassed, my glasses almost falling off. Benjamin looked at his father smiling.
- Yes Oliver, I live here and that's my father, thank you very much.
- Benjamin Leroy, who is this man? Where were you ?
- Oh my god, what a shame.
Suddenly, Benjamin's father walked towards Oliver's car and opened the car door, looking nervously at his son.
- Hi daddy, please calm down, I'm already leaving.
- Who is this guy?
Oliver got out of the car a little surprised, but he approached Benjamin's father.
- Good evening, I'm Oliver Kanawut, I'm your son's boss, nice to meet you.
Oliver all smiles, took off his glasses and held out his hand to Benjamin's father.
- Nice to meet you Mr Oliver, I'm Anthony Leroy, Benjamin's father at your service.
- Nice to meet you, I have to congratulate you Mr. Leroy, your son is an excellent secretary of finance.
Benjamin's father smiled proudly and said.
- He took after me, I've been an economist for about 40 years, he inherited all my intelligence.
Benjamin smiled with a lot of embarrassment looking at Oliver and his father.
- Well this is delivered Benjamin, now I'm leaving, good night Mr. Leroy it was a pleasure to meet you.
- But it's early, come in for a coffee.
- I thank you, but let's leave it for another day, I'm going to my parents' house from here, they live nearby.
- Yes dad, he needs to go, good night Mr Oliver, see you Monday and thank you very much.
-Okay Oliver, I'm waiting for a visit from him. Goodnight.
Benjamin pulled his father's arm for the two to enter, and Benjamin waved to Oliver who got into the car and left.
- Son, your boss is very nice, invite him one day to have dinner here.
- Yes daddy, let's go inside.
At the dinner table.
Benjamin with his parents and they had dinner quietly, when Benjamin looked at his mother and said.
-Daddy, I wanted to ask you something.
- Yes son, say.
- I want to go out tomorrow with Ron and his friends, he invited me.
-No way, you will not go out with that delinquent.
- But daddy, please, mommy, you promised me that you had spoken to daddy.
- She said, and I said no, Benjamin, you're not going out with Ron and that's final.
- Dad I can't take it anymore, I need to go out, I'm already 30 years old and I want to see people, go out dancing like a normal vampire man of my age, you don't understand, that I'm not a child anymore. Do you want me to remain an old virgin?
- You're a good man Benjamin, and you don't need to hang around, especially with Ron, he's a bad influence, I don't want to see my only son arriving drunk and drugged, the answer is no.
- I hate you Daddy!
Benjamin slammed the table as hard as he could and left crying.
- Benjamin, come back here son - shouted the mother.
- Husband, you can no longer protect our son in your wing, he is already a grown man, how will he know love if you keep him here.
Benjamin's mother left nervously leaving Benjamin's father alone in the kitchen and went to his room, finding him lying on the bed crying.
- My love, forgive your father, he only wants your good, don't get mad at him.
- How can I not stay mom, it's always been like this, I could never leave the house, have friends, I spent my whole life just studying like crazy, I also wanted to live like a normal guy, go out drinking, date, but dad never Leave it, mom, it's hard for you to be mocked by your colleagues and hear from them that I was daddy's boy.
-Benjamin, my love, he did this because he didn't want to see you suffer.
- No mom, dad actually doesn't accept it, he never accepted that I'm gay, that I like men, he preferred that I stick to books, mom I need to be a normal person, I don't even kiss.
- My son, don't be like this, your father adores you, he accepts you as you are, he just doesn't want you to get hurt, it has nothing to do with your sexuality, my love, forgive your father.
- I don't feel that way, mom, and I don't want to know, I'm going out tomorrow, I don't need to ask him for permission, I'm already a grown man who works.
Benjamin's father was listening to everything behind the door, and he appeared at the door and said.
- Benjamin, I'm proud of you, and I'm not ashamed of you for being what you are, I only protected you so you wouldn't suffer, because there are a lot of bad people in this world, you can go with them tomorrow, but I just ask you to be careful, I couldn't bear to relive what happened to you when you were 16. I couldn't take it.
