Twenty minutes later, all the ladies gathered around and started making their way to the stage area. Soon, the line gets longer and longer, wrapping around the stage a few times. One of the stage workers signaled for the ladies to walk up the stage and across. The ladies then slowly walked up to the stage one by one, facing the royal pavilion before exiting the stage. Once when the ladies walked across the stage, they then walked back to their seat while the line still piles up with beautiful young ladies waiting anxiously for a chance to get on stage.Mua Kong was not paying attention to those ladies as he already knew, no one on the stage is ever going to take Hli Ja"s place but the Little Superglue stares at the stage intently looking for his mommy. After of what seems like eternity to him, there is no sight of his mommy.
Saddened he waited so long and did not see his mommy, Little Superglue yelled, "I want to go home! I know my mommy is not here!" His eyes teary.
Mua Kong felt bad for lying and using his son for his own agenda. He explained, "I only say mommy might be there."
Little Superglue glared at his father. He missed his mommy so much that just from hearing that mommy might be there, because it was from the word of his daddy, who he should trust, spiked up his hope. It has been so long since he last saw his mommy, he dearly wants to be with her, but now he can"t trust his daddy anymore.
"Okay, let"s go home." Mua Kong swept his son off and carry the boy away. Elder Mae grabbed the blanket and followed behind. Even before the line finished on stage, Mua Kong walked off. He upset his son and does not want to cause a scene so he opted to leave.
As he carried his son away, Mua Kong whispered, "I"m sorry. I didn"t mean to lie to you."
Little Superglue didn"t move and didn"t reply. He laid still in his father"s arm not flinching. His eyes showed a mix of furious and sadness emotions.
What Hue Houa told him earlier still taunted him, the air is bad. He tried to break down what his son meant by the air is bad. It"s hard to understand meaning spoken by a three years old. He strongly wished that Hli Ja is around to help him understand his son.
An hour later, Mua Kong arrived back at his palace. Little Superglue ignored him and went straight to Pao Hua"s chamber. Mua Kong looked at his son"s back and followed behind but kept a distance.
Pao Hua who was studying in his room when he was startled by the suddenly slammed of his door. Stood at his door was his nephew with a sour expression. He paused what he was doing and asked, "Superglue? What"s wrong with you?"
"Houa Houa is sleeping with Pao Pao tonight." Little Superglue huffed.
"Huh? What"s wrong with you?"
"I don"t want to sleep with daddy tonight." Little Superglue fumes.
"Why?" Pao Hua asked confusedly.
"I hate party too. The airs are bad."
"The airs are bad?" Pao Hua was a little confused as well.
"Yes, the airs are bad? I hate daddy too?" Little Superglue threw sentence after sentence.
Pao Hua tried to grasp what is wrong with his nephew suddenly. "Why is the air bad? Can you tell me more?" He sensed that his nephew is a little sensitive but was not aware of the extent of his sensitiveness.
Little Superglue sighed and in one big breath, he explained, "I don"t know uncle. Many people are scared, many people are happy, many people hate. Houa Houa don"t like at all and want to come home. But daddy say mommy might be among those ladies. But... but... there is no mommy. Houa Houa know mommy is not there."
