"Wow! Is it really yours!" Rose looked at the band in amazement.
Rhehan smiled, looking at it and nodded in a "yes". He then carefully placed back the band and looked at chimpanzee. "Thank you for showing this! You have no idea what it means to me!" Rhehan suddenly pounced on the chimpanzee, hugging him tightly.
The chimpanzee held Rhehan"s hand, looking at his bracelet. He touched his bracelet and looked at his face again. "Thank you for the bracelet! It is magical!"
The chimpazee walked towards the bamboo crib and picked up a large red colored stone. He walked towards Rhehan and placed it inside his pocket and patted it, as if telling him to take care of it.
"What is this?" Rhehan looked inside his pocket. The chimpanzee did not reply but rather kissed him and walked out of the room.
Rose and Rhehan looked at each other in confusion and walked out of the hut, following the chimpanzee. As soon they walked out they saw a middle aged monk, looking at them in amazement.
"Oh! My G.o.d! Rhehan??" The monk, hugged the boy, feeling overwhelmed. "None of you told me, the boy has come!" He looked at the animals, in surprise. He looked back at Rhehan and smiled. "They all are so possessive for you. Lee would often look for you in the monastery, but you were always stolen by them!"
Rhehan grinned looking at the monk. "And you are?"
"Ohh! I thought Lee must have told you about me. You can call me Phra Basho! I was the one who found you, when your father left you in the woods. Don"t let these animals and Lee take all the credit, please." He looked at the circle around them, smirking at them in a teasing way.
"Ohh! Yes Lee Lee did tell me! Thank you so much Phra Basho for saving my life!" Rhehan folded his hands and looked at the monk.
Phra Basho smiled and held the boy"s hands. "You don"t have to thank us. Having you was the best time of our lives. We only wished that the old monk, did not want to send you back to the city. But he knew you will be a great man, and we never disobey him."
Rhehan"s heart beat raised as he heard the name of the old monk. "You..You mean, my old man?"
"Yes Boy! Your adoptive parents left you on street, and old monk could not tolerate it. Though he was never interested in living in the city, but for you he changed his values. We were all stunned, when he told us that he is s.h.i.+fting to the city for many years! I don"t know, if you remember, I was the one to tell you, that your old man is no more. That was the day, the old monk came back to the woods, and cried for four days. You stirred up the emotions of a monk my boy!" Phra Basho paused for a while, looking in his green eyes. "But you were always like this. In no time, you can capture a person"s heart."
Rhehan chuckled at the monk"s words and the monk turned to look at Rose. "Ahh! Rose! Look how grown up you are, looking just like sister Lilly!" He blessed the girl with his hands and smiled closing his eyes. "I see..." He opened his eyes and smiled at the two. "Congratulations on your wedding kids!"
