Chapter 67 - Please Forgive Me

The whole family was in chaos as  Derrick Addison informed his grandfather about James Thomson's action. He never thought that his grandson would do such a thing. He had forbidden everyone to even mention the vacation house.

James Thomson was also tried his best not to do anything about that matter, as he knew that his grandfather would not let him keep his foot on the place again. The whole family thought that he has forgotten the incident. But they did not know that, although he could not go to that place, he promised himself that he would go to the place once he would grow up.

When he reached college, he was trying to get a chance to go to the mountain again. At last, he got the chance again when he was in the last year of college. He persuaded his father to let him go there camping with his friend.

At first, Harris Thomson was reluctant to let him go there with his friends. But when Derrick Addison and Liam Thomson also requested him to let them go with their elder brother, he could not reject it. He knew that James Thomson would go abroad for his higher studies next year. He did not want to upset him.

Gerard Thomson was on a business trip at that time, so he was not aware of the trip. When he came back Derrick Addison informed his grandfather about their journey to that place.

"What? Who gave you permission to go there?"Gerard Thomson yelled.

"It was the uncle who gives us permission to go there for the camping. I and Liam followed him as we think that we would do only the camping there. But James Brother spent his all the time in that village. I know it may create a problem for you, that's why I am informing you."Derrick said with his head lowered.

"How dare he? How can he do such a thing? Go and call Heriis and his unfilial son."Gerard Thomason yelled.

Derrick Addison left the room with a smirk and informed James Thomson and his father about it. Harris Thomson worried to hear Derrick. He called James Thomson to his room to discuss it before going to his father. James Thomson was studying in his room unaware of these things. He entered his father's study room and saw his father was lost in deep thought.

"Father."

"You are doomed, James. Your grandpa will not let you go this time."His father uttered worriedly.

"Why are you, worried father. I am not a kid anymore. I can go anywhere I want."James Thomson said in a firm tone.

"No, James, Don't tell that. You just can not go against your Grandpa. You also know that he is the 'Almighty' of the Thomson family. We just can not do as we wish. We have to follow his words without any objection."Harris Thomson said in the same worried tone.

"Dad, I don't understand why you are scared of your own father? What would he do you, if you deny? I just don't want to follow his orders anymore."James Thomson said in an indifferent tone.

" No, no,no my son. You can not do that. You don't know your grandfather well. He is too scary sometimes. He does not like anyone who breaks his rules. You can not act recklessly. Otherwise, he would make him suffer."

"Dad,I don't care what he thinks of us.I just know that I can not be his puppet."

"No, my son, it is not about being a puppet. Your single thoughtless action can push us all to the sea of dismay. You must act as the eldest son of the Thomson family. Otherwise, everything would be snatched by some people who are waiting for a chance."

"So, are you trying to say that I should follow my grandfather's order and forget her? Dad,I told you earlier also.I .....I like her. I...I could not even say goodby to her properly.I can not let her go like that. I already lost her due to my grandfather.

I wanted to search her back.I wanted to bring her back to my life again.I just could not forget her. I was keeping myself silent all these years, as you told me that I should wait until I reach my proper age.I am going to study abroad next year.I would not be able to go there for the next few years.I .....I wanted to be with her before I go abroad. But .....but I did not get her there. Now Grandpa is throwing a tantrum like a kid. And...and you are telling me that I should follow his orders! How disgusting!"

"James. Of course, I told you that you should go after her once you reach your proper age. But you have not still reached that age. You need to gain some power on your hand before, going against your grandpa. I let you go there as I thought you need to go there to calm down your heart before going abroad.But this should stop here.

If you try to do something recklessly, he would cut off all allowances he is giving you. You are not earning yet. So you should not try to do something, which you would have to regret in the future. Your future would spoil if something like that would happen to you."

"Dad, I don't want his money. I will earn money. But I just can not bear with all these. I can leave this house too."James Thomson said in a bold tone.

"No, no, no, my son. Please don't do that. I know that you are able now to earn. But you just can not leave everything behind for which I had to endure till now. I just can not let you leave everything to someone who does not deserve it.

Please, my son. Please let it go. Just endure a few years more. It is your golden time of life. Please don't spoil it. Now you should try to study hard and become eligible to be the heir of the Thomson's. Once you will get enough power, you can do as you wish.

Remember that your grandpa is not a person, who you can beat that easily. You must be prepared before you go against the rule set by him. Please, my son. Please do this for me. Please don't create more problems. Please promise me, my son. you will not do anything thoughtlessly."Mr. Harris Thomson took his son's hand on him and said in a worried tone. James Thomson stared at his father for some time and nodded.

"Ok Dad. I promise. I will follow his orders from now on. But , don't expect good behaviour from me to my grandfather. I hate him. I don't want to see his face."

"Don't tell that my son. He loves you. Now let us go to him. He must be very angry right now. Just remember, you must not speak anything now, which can rise his anger towards you. Now let's go." Mr Herri Thosmn said and left the room hurriedly. James Thomson sighed and followed his father quietly. He entered the room with James Thomson on which his father was waiting for them. Both of them bowed the old man.

"Oh. You two just got time to come here? It is already twenty minutes passed I called you. So, now you don't want to come in front of your grandfather? Good!"Gerard Thomson asked in an angry tone.

"F...father.It was all my fault. Please punish me.Please don't do anything to him.I was too startled to hear you summoned me.I was having difficulty in breathing. He was taking care of me. That's why we are late."Harris Thomson said in a low voice.

"Oh. You can do such nasty things and now you are trying to tell me that I am scarry? Isn't it?"The old man said with a smirk.

"No, father, no. You are not scary.I was also scolding my son .I allowed him to go there for camping he should have come back from the camping. He should not have to go to the village." Mr Harris said and looked at his father to see his reaction.

"Yes.At least you have come to your senses now. What about this punk? Has he realized that he has done the mistake this time?"

"Yes. He is here to ask your forgiveness. Hey, why are you standing there silent? Come near your grandpa and ask for his forgiveness."

James Thomson nodded and forwarded towards his grandpa.

"Please forgive me, grandpa.I should not have to go there. Please let me go this time. I will be careful next time.I thought I should go camping before I go abroad. That's why I was there."James Thomson said without looking at his grandpa.

"Hey, punk. Look at me. I know you are not letting it go with all your hearts. But I am letting it go as you are asking forgiveness."The old man said with a smile.
