Jackson was still looking at the application form for his daughter's teacher. Tired and determined, the man relaxed a bit, leaning back in his armchair, looking out through the glass walls of the room. People were walking back and forth, doctors, patients, and the general public. The doctor glanced around and noticed Pisal standing and talking to the other doctors. Jackson turned his chair back and forth, thinking about something that was not yet clear.

  That's right! It's Pisal! The student he taught directly. What's wrong with letting his student continue to teach his daughter? That evening, Jackson went to talk to Pisal and persuade him to let him teach Nuong.

  The man sat down in the chair opposite the teacher. Jackson began to speak:

  "Pisal! What's wrong? You help teach Nuong a little bit, because you're the only one I trust. As for you, other teachers, I find it very difficult to trust!"

  As for Pisal, who had only been studying medicine for 5-6 years, he needed to continue his studies, so this proposal was not very good for him. Besides, he was the son of a wealthy man and had plenty of money to spend. Why should he teach? Pisal tried to argue politely. But no matter what, Dr. Jackson, who was very stubborn, still insisted that Pisal teach again and again. With understanding, and after all, being a teacher and a student, Pisal agreed to this proposal.

  (In the car with the teacher)

  When evening came, Pisal got into the car with Dr. Jackson. Pisal was in the front seat with Jackson as the driver. Although Jackson was over 45 years old, his face looked younger than half his age. His eyebrows, lips, eyes, nose, everything he had was younger than his age. He was so proud to be Nuong’s father! Because if he didn’t know his age, everyone would think that he wasn’t raising Nuong as his own child. But what other people thought of him didn’t matter to Jackson. What mattered was his own self and his attitude towards his daughter. As for Jackson, he was very happy now that he had convinced Pisal.

  On the way, they talked a lot because of their excitement. "Teacher know that Nuong will be happy! If she knew that you were the one who teaches her, because you guys already knew each other." Jackson told Pisal many things about Nuong, regardless of whether he wanted to listen or not. Pisal remained silent and listened to the teacher. But in his heart, he thought, "Why does the teacher like her so much? What's so good about that girl that the teacher keeps talking about her like this??. While Pisal silently obeyed, Jackson continued to talk about Nuong: "You know what? Nuong is very smart! She quickly understands whatever this teacher teaches, and she likes to ask a lot of questions, asking until the teacher is confused or until the teacher can't answer and then goes to Google to tell her! Teacher thinks that this teacher is not good at teaching her! Because she is like an alien, haha. Now that you are coming, it's good that she will stop asking this teacher." Pisal looked at his teacher, who spoke well of Nuong without stopping. Even though his heart was heavy, Pisal couldn't help but feel jealous. He asked himself a question:Has the teacher ever spoken of me this well to others? Or is it just a joke? The young man, although he tried to smile back at the teacher, was not so happy inside. When he reached the red light, the car stopped. Jackson suddenly stopped talking while Pisal was looking out the window. Jackson looked at the road ahead and saw that there were police officers checking cars and vehicles. He also looked at himself and Pisal to see if they were following the traffic rules? But he also saw that Pisal was not wearing his seat belt properly. So Jackson reached out to put the seat belt on for Pisal, who was not paying attention to the police in front. “Pisal!” Jackson reached out to Pisal while his hand was searching for the seat belt buckle. Pisal, hearing his name called, turned around, but what he saw was Jackson’s body already attached to him! Even the smell of his perfume and the smell of his sweat were wafting up to his nose. It seemed as if Jackson was hugging Pisal. At first, he was surprised that his teacher had come to be so close to him and hugged him like that, but after thinking about it for a while, maybe he wanted to thank himself for agreeing to teach his adopted daughter. Remembering this, the young man raised his hand to hug Jackson in return, both with a satisfied smile and gesture like that. Suddenly, Jackson put the seat belt on Pisal and that was enough. The chief pulled back, "Teacher put the seat belt on. There are police in front." Pisal was silent, embarrassed, looking for a place to hide his face. "Oh...yes," the teacher turned his face away to look outside. Jackson has also noticed Pisal's strange gesture, and understood, but in order not to embarrass Pisal, he also acted as if he didn't know anything.

  When they arrived home, the first person to greet them was a 15-year-old girl. Nuong ran to greet Jackson, shouting, "Dad! Dad!" She was so happy that she ran to hug the man, and Jackson picked her up and hugged her happily. Seeing the relationship between father and daughter like this made Pisal wrinkle his nose a little. He got out of the car and stood watching his teacher and Nuong as they parted so affectionately. "It's only been a month, why is their relationship so close and intense??” Pisal thought to himself. The more Pisal looked at the two father and daughter, the more he felt a sense of confusion inside, even though he himself didn’t know why! He only knew that he didn’t seem to be satisfied with this reality. It looked like when Jackson hugged her, it didn’t seem like he was being a father and daughter at all. Pisal also said briefly to get his attention, “Teacher! Where am I supposed to teach?” Jackson heard that and realized that he had forgotten to tell her that he wasn’t alone.

  "Oh! Dad found a teacher to teach you. Here it is," Jackson showed Nuong.

  When she saw him, the woman almost fainted! She didn't expect that they would meet again. The woman exclaimed, "Brother!" And she turned to talk to Jackson, "Did Dad let him teach me?" Jackson took her hand and gently patted Nuong's head and replied: "And who else? Pisal is Dad's own student!" Nuong turned to look at Pisal, embarrassed. How could Pisal, the son of His Excellency, agree to become a part-time teacher? It seemed too coincidental.

  During the lesson that was arranged in Nuong's room, there was a white board standing high from the floor. Pisal, who was the teacher, began to write the consonants. The little girl's face changed strangely because she didn't know what she was learning. The girl asked: "Brother!" But she remembered the words that Jackson had told her to call Pisal "teacher" and not brother, so the girl called him again, "Teacher! What am I learning now?" The man turned to Nuong and said: "Nuong will be taught English because I only know English!" The little girl turned back immediately and asked: "Why? Why not Khmer?" The man replied: "Because the teacher asked me to teach Nuong in English. Besides, Nuong knows a lot of Khmer!"

  After almost two hours of teaching, Pisal was ready to go home. But Jackson stopped them to eat dinner together. No matter what, the father-daughter duo was really close and close to each other. Jackson was worried and took care of Nuong. He put delicious food on her plate. "Here! Eat more, grow up quickly! Dad serve it." Jackson put soup on Nuong's plate, including seafood and meat. Pisal saw this and asked Jackson: "Teacher, aren't you afraid of food poisoning or affecting her injury?" Jackson replied: "Teacher checked everything! Let Nuong eat only foods that won't harm her wounds." That's right! As a doctor for many years, he certainly knows which foods are good for patients and which are not.

  Jackson took a hard-boiled egg and poured it into Nuong's mouth with a fork: "Eat this, Nuong! It's delicious!" Seeing this gesture, Pisal stopped eating. He began to feel bored, bored with the reality of what he was seeing. The man looked at his plate without emotion, and suddenly a soft, yellow egg was fed into his mouth. "You should eat, too, so you can grow up quickly," Jackson fed Pisal. His jealousy immediately disappeared. Just a little attention from his teacher made him smile and close his mouth. And that dinner became a time of happy eating.

  After eating, Pisal had to go back with Jackson as his driver. On the way, Jackson said to Pisal:

  Jackson: "Pisal, how old are you this year?"

  Pisal: "22, teacher."

  Jackson: "22. Next time, I might need you to help take care of my daughter. If I'm not home, please help me take care of her."

  Pisal: "Where are you going, teacher?"

  Jackson laughed and replied: "No! I'm not going anywhere, I'm just saying in advance. We can't see human destiny. "How long we meet and stay together is a matter of fate."

  The car pulled up in front of Pisal’s house. This was the first time that Jackson had brought Pisal home. He was also surprised when he saw Pisal’s house, which was huge and had a large area like a hotel. The village of Sem Sokun was really big. Who wouldn’t have exclaimed? Jackson asked Pisal in surprise: “Is this your house, Pisal?” “Yes,” Pisal replied. Jackson turned to Pisal in surprise: “Your house is as big as a palace. It must have cost a lot of money! How many people live in it?” Pisal: “No more than ten, teacher! Because sometimes, my father goes abroad. As for the servants and housekeepers, there aren’t many.” Jackson looked at Pisal and smiled. He didn’t really know what that meant. But Pisal was so busy looking at his teacher’s smiling face that he forgot to think that he had arrived at his own house. Jackson's beautiful smile made everyone around him crazy. The young master's eyes still stared at that beautiful face, in his heart still wondering, Why is the teacher so beautiful? A smile also appeared on the cheeks of the handsome rich man. But that was not what Jackson was thinking. He was thinking, Why didn't Pisal get out of the car? While this strange feeling lasted for a long time. This 22-year-old young man still hadn't gotten out of the car, what was he thinking? Now is the time for Jackson to act first, right? Why is Pisal such a stubborn person who won't let go? Little boy, Pisal! Understand my feelings.

  Jackson reached out to Pisal for the second time. Pisal thought that he might come to unbuckle his seatbelt again. Then the man said quickly: "No need, teacher! I can unbuckle it myself." Jackson turned to look at Pisal in surprise, their faces almost touching. Jackson's beautiful face touched Pisal's cute Asian face, making them feel strange. Jackson said: "Teacher, open the car door because you're home!" Pisal's cheeks turned red when he realized that he had misunderstood again. The chief bowed his head, thanked Jackson for driving him home, and got out. Suddenly, Jackson also got out. "Pisal, stop! Why have you been acting so strange for a while?" Jackson said to Pisal. This made Pisal even more strange in his heart, unable to answer. What is so strange about him? Jackson handed the phone to Pisal and said, "You've never forgotten so much before. Here's your phone!" Pisal accepted it with a bow. "The teacher is going now!" With that, Jackson got in the car and left.
