Do You Want to Know the Truth?

Jared was about two when his mother took him away from his father, an accounting manager in a prestigious international company. Assigned to Thailand to oversee the local office of the company in Bangkok, his father fell in love with a local Thai girl he met in a bar. She was not a dancer or go-go girl or anything, just someone whom his father met there. They talked a bit, ordered some drinks, and hit it off. The dating and the courting followed, and after about six months, they got married.

They lived together for another year and a half, until the girl became pregnant with Jared. 9 months later, a bouncing baby boy was born, and after a year, that’s when the problems started.

.

After a while, the wife became distant, and the husband sensed that something was amiss and suspicious. Like all trusting men, he did not pay attention to it much, and assumed it had something to do with the effort of taking care of the baby and things like that. However, he noticed that the nanny they hired was the one who was spending more time with their son, and his wife went out more and more. This went on for several months, until he decided to follow her one day and discovered that she was having another affair with another expat, and was only keeping him and his son for financial security. What’s more, to his horror, he discovered that she was starting to take drugs and go to wild parties. This was when she thought that he would be working overtime into the night. To her credit, she hid it well when they were together, and there was not a scent of liquor or anything suspicious when she was home. There was just the coldness.

.

The first few weeks, Jared’s father was in a state of depression, which he escaped by working all the time. This, in turn, gave the mother more excuse and reason to go out and do her thing, leaving baby Jared to be cared for by the nanny. When the father decided to confront the mother, she responded by leaving in the middle of the night, taking the baby with her.

.

Since the father had no idea about the background of his wife, he simply could not find her. He went to all the places he knew (or though he knew) she would have gone to, but it was all in vain. A few days after, he received a call from his wife, indicating that he would not see his son again. The first time he went to a private detective but the agency was unable to locate his wife and child. His search was put off for a bit when he had to go back to his home country for the annual report he did every year, but he resumed his efforts when he got back to Thailand.
