CHAPTER 40
[SONG PLAYING: RIHANNA - DIAMONDS]
Yaya exhales deeply, staring at her own reflection. Her lips bright red. Cheeks rosy. Eyes smokey. Earrings dangling and sparkling like diamonds. Her sparkling gray strapless dress curves to her body, complementing her glistening earrings. The necklace Nadech gave her hugs her neck, perfectly in sync with what she's wearing.
She fixes her hair once last time, combing back the lose strands.
"There" She utters to herself, eyes still fixated on her reflection. The woman in the mirror is stunning, yet deep down, she isn't feeling too stunning. She stares into her big brown eyes, realizing the sadness lurking behind them.
"What are you doing Yaya?" She ask herself, sighing loudly, trying to wrap her head around why she's going to extreme lengths for tonight. A knock at the door breaks her train of thought. She glances at the clock, it's time.
"Don't worry about it I got everything all planned for you" Nadech's voice echos inside her mind.
"I got everything ready for you the dress and the transportation" He went all out for this again.
Yaya quickly gathers her things and heads for the door.
"Ms. Sperbund." the short robust man appears at the other end with a smile on his face. A bouquet in hand and says, "On behalf of Mr. Kugimiya's wishes, I'm here to pick you up." He tips his hat to her, "These beautiful roses are for the gorgeous woman." He hands them to her.
Yaya smiles faintly, feeling her cheeks blush a little bit as she grabs them from him. A little note sticks out and she reads it, "I can't wait to see you tonight, Love Nadech." Her smiles slowly disappears as she excuse the driver while she puts the bouquet away. Yaya thanked him again and he escorts her out.
"Right this way Miss." He bows his head and leads her to towards the elevator. The ride down was a silent and long one. She's feeling nerves, eyes unable to stop staring at the floor number. Any other day, it would speed down but tonight seem to drag on and she grows anxious. After what seem like an eternity, the elevator finally comes to a halt. The door opens and they're in the lobby.
"The limo waits outside." The driver holds the door for her.
Yaya's eyes widen upon seeing the limo. She was expecting a regular car, not a limo. The driver opens the door for Yaya, "Watch your step Miss." He tells her. She smiles and grabs tightly onto the end of her dress. "Thank you." he smiles.
"You are a real special lady Miss." He utters.
"Ex-excuse me?" Yaya's confused.
"Mr. Kugimiya usually doesn't have me pick up woman like this. So you must be really important to him." He tips his hat and smiles politely at Yaya.
Yaya chuckles a bit, smiling faintly at him before he closes the door. The driver makes his way into the driver side, starts the engine and takes off.
"Like a princess in a fairy tale" she inhales, feeling really important indeed, yet she's feeling not 100 percent confident about tonight. Something isn't sitting right with her and she can't pinpoint it. With each passing minute gone by, she grows more anxious. Her head's spinning, thoughts racing. She rolls down the window, hoping the fresh cool air will help calm her nerves. As she leans against the arm eyes, staring out into the quiet night, she touches her neckline. The necklace. Chills ran up her spin as she fidgets with the necklace.
A flashback conversation of between her and Eric weaves into her mind.
"You went to see him, didn't you?" Eric ask curiously, after he noticed the hickey on the side of her neck along with the new necklace she wore.
Yaya stayed quiet, bitting her lips as she tried to cover up the hickey and the necklace with her hair. She knew who Eric meant when he said 'him' but she wasn't sure what to say to him. "It wasn't anything serious, Eric--" she told him quickly. "I just went to go see him you know just to talk." she told him, trying not to panic or give away any sign of nervousness.
"If it isn't anything serious, why do I smell shame and guilt coming from you?" He gives her the stare down, "And from that mark on your neck, I think it was more than just a talk" He stares her down, with a friendly concern in his tone.
Yaya remained quiet, unsure of what to say.
"Yaya--" He takes a seat next to her, "I'm telling you this because I care about you and I don't want you to get hurt again" He cleared his throat, "Seeing him isn't healthy for you You know I don't like meddling in your relationship. It's your choice and your life but I don't think it's really helping you to see him like this. You're just going to hurt yourself in the end Wearing that necklace is only going to remind you of all the things he's put you through Do you really want your heart to be broken by him again?"
Yaya sighs loudly in disappointment as she stares down at the necklace Nadech gave to her.
"It's a symbol of love" He told her.
Her mind's boggled with mixed emotions. Guilt eats inside of her for not telling Eric the truth about her past relationship. Her body's paralyzed with emotions. Unsure if she should be sad, happy, or excited.
"That man's got a strong hold on you you're completely over your head and you don't even realize it" Eric's words beats her repeatedly on the head and she's feeling out of her element.
Is it really true? Am I completely over my head? Do I still in love him? Should I listen to Eric? Her mind rambles with endless questions, searching desperately for answers, yet she can't find an answer to a single question.
The limo comes to a complete halt, breaking Yaya from her train of thought. She notices the red carpet on the stairs, leading to the banquet hall. They really went all out for Kimmy's return. The driver opens the door for Yaya. "Have a good time tonight Miss." He bows his head, smiling from ear to ear at her.
"Thank you. Have a good new years." she tells him as he helps her out the limo.
She walks up the red carpet, feeling like a celebrity in the spotlight, minus the photographer, that is. Yaya walks up the stairs, careful not to step on her ends of her dress. Once she reaches the top, a man with a tray of mask stops her.
"Pick your mask Miss." He smiles at her. Yaya looks at the three mask choice and picks a white glistening mask. She slips it on and walks inside.
"Here I go" she sighs, feeling her heart thumping loudly against her chest. As she gets closer to the banquet hall, she can hear music blasting louder, vibrating in her ears and rumbling beneath her feet. The sound of glass chatters echos the hall. Laughter and chitchats erupts even louder. Everybody's having a ball and suddenly fear strikes her, too chicken to step a foot inside. Yaya takes one final deep breath. She fixes her hair and forces herself to make her entrance.
Once inside, her eyes lit at the marvelous beautiful decoration. White winter wonderland fills the room and blows her mind. Her lip curls and she's amazed by the white party extravaganza. Guest all dress in white and black, all hidden behind a mask. It sure does feel as if she has stepped into a winter fantasy like the ones in a fairy tale. She scopes the place, searching desperately for a familiar face but sadly she knew no one beside Nadech and Kimmy. Plus, Eric wouldn't be here till later.
She wanders around, trying to blend in with the crowd but she's feeling like a kid lost in a department store. Despite hiding behind the mask, all eyes were on her, she could feel it. She continues to walk around the banquet, searching in distress for someone she knew. It was almost as if she stuck in a maze, searching for a way to get out but with every turn she took, she's finds herself in the same position.
"My my my You look absolutely stunning tonight, Yaya"
Yaya turns around. To her surprise, it's Nadech's mom holding two drinks in hand with a smile on her face. She's still unsure how his mother was able to recognize her through her mask.
"Oh-- Thank you" Yaya smiles faintly at her. "You look lovely yourself." she compliments his mother.
"Thank you. Would you like a drink?" She ask Yaya.
"Oh-- Sure" Yaya takes one glass from her.
"So how are you sweetie? How's work?" She ask Yaya politely.
"Uhm I've been good" she pause, "And work's kept me really busy" she chuckles, suddenly afraid of his mother.
"That's good to hear. Don't overwork yourself sweetheart. Take some time away from the hectic workload and focus on yourself too, okay?" She gives Yaya a motherly advice. Yaya nods her head and smiles.
"I'm really glad you came tonight, Yaya." His mother grabs her by the hand. A change in her voice, "I was afraid you wouldn't show tonight but I'm glad you came. Nadech would have been really disappointed if you didn't come" She pauses to take a sip of her champagne.
"Oh?" Yaya raised her eyebrow. Her stomach turns in knots and she's feeling sick to her stomach.
She nods her head, "Listen Yaya--" She stares Yaya straight in the eyes, "I know Barry's done some things to you that I don't approve of and I know it's none of my business what goes on between you two But I really want you to know that my son really does love you" She pauses, grabbing Yaya by the hands, "He
truly loves you"
Yaya blinks her eyes rapidly, unable to steer her head in a different direction. Her heart drops to her stomach as she stares blankly at Nadech's mother. She doesn't utter a word. Too numb to say anything as she clinches the glass of champagne tightly.
"You've changed my little boy into a man" she smirks, "I've never seen him act the way he did until you came along taking responsibility for his actions, leaving behind his old habits." she chuckles, "He's really changed" She squeezes Yaya's hand gently, "And I have you to thank for that." She smiles.
Yaya smiles faintly, feeling her chest beating loudly, unsure how to respond to that and unsure if she should really thank Yaya for anything.
"You are an amazing woman Yaya--" she compliments her, "Any man would be lucky to have you and I'm glad that my Barry got a chance to meet a strong woman like yourself-- I truly mean it." she nods her head, "Thank you for what you've done for my sweet Barry"
Yays lowers her head a bit, trying not to get choked up by his mother's kind words.
"My Barry isn't perfect but I really do hope you can find it in your heart to forgive him I'm not saying this because he's my son but because I think you're the one he's been searching for. You're the kind of woman he needs to keep him sane and balance--Like the Yin-Yang. You two complement one another And the truth is, if you left again, I don't know what will happen to him" She sighs loudly.
Yaya swallows hard, feeling the lump in her throat. Her body's numb and she's unable to speak. Mind weaves in and out with thoughts. Miscellaneous feelings spirals inside and all she could do was chuckle uneasily. "I-- I I don't know what to say" she finally utters, clearing her throat.
"You don't have to say anything. I just wanted to let you know what I'm feeling that's all" she smiles kindly, "I don't want to bombard you with my rambling or scare you away I just want you to know that not all love is perfect there's always going to be some bumps along the road, it's just a matter if you're willing to go for that bumpy ride" She shrugs with a smile.
His mother's wise words sticks out like a sore thumb in her mind.
"Well then--" his mother lets go of Yaya's hand, "I'll let you get back to mingling and having fun, sweetie. If you need anything let me know. I'll be over where the
old folks are." she smiles, giving Yaya a hug before disappearing.
Yaya watches his mother disappears. An peculiar feeling takes over and she's unsure what to think or feel. She sips her champagne glass and begins to observe the crowd, searching for a familiar face. Nadech's mother's words still echos inside of her mind. She's feeling lost and unsure what to do.
"There you are--"
Yaya flinches, unaware of Eric beside her. "Eric--" She utters, "When did you get here?" She ask.
"About an hour ago. I've been looking all over for you--" He clears his throat, "I tried calling you but you didn't answer."
"My phone" Yaya gasps, eyes lit up, realizing her phone was on the kitchen counter. "Shoot, I left my phone on the counter" she slouches her shoulder in disappointment, "I knew I forgot something" She shrugs.
"No wonder" he shakes his head, "Well at least I spotted you from a distance."
"Where-- where did you come from anyways?" She scratches her head, wondering how did he spot her. Was she that recognizable?
"I was talking to Nadech for a little bit over there--" He points ahead of him where Nadech mingles with a group of women. Yaya's stomach drops and she's feeling foolish. "I spotted you from a distance talking to Nadech's mother so after she left, I walked over here."
Yaya's eyes were focused on Nadech, as he laughs and smiles with the group of women.
"So what did she wanted to talk to you about?" Eric ask curiously.
"Huh?" She looks up at him.
"Nadech's mother-- what did she wanted to talk to you about?" He ask again.
"Oh-- uh nothing." she quickly replies. "Just work related stuff" she lies and downs her glass of champagne.
"You're not planning to get drunk tonight, are you?" he raise his eyebrow at how quickly she finishes her drink.
"What? No no just this one..." she shakes her head, realizing she drank her champagne too fast. A server comes by just in time and she sets her empty glass on the tray.
"Good because I don't want another mishap like last time" he chuckles, "And I see you're still wearing that necklace" he exhales loudly, almost as if he's disappointed at her.
She looks down at the necklace then back at him.
"I thought you said you were going to take that off?" He gives her the stare down.
"Huh? Uh well" Yaya fumbles with her words, unsure how to respond to that. She did tell him she would take it off.
"Yaya, you can't move on if you're still holding onto the things he give you" he raises his eyebrows at her. She could tell he was slightly annoyed.
She reminds quiet, avoiding Eric's eyes.
"You're stronger than that and you know it," He nudges her on the arm for encouragement. "Maybe that can be one of your new years resolution."
Yaya looks up at him, wondering what he meant by it. "What can be my new year's resolution?" she ask.
"Getting rid of all
his belongings. Trash everything of his so you can move on. Tomorrow is a new year and you should start the new year fresh. No more looking back at the things that hurt you once. You deserve better so don't let him hold you back from finding someone better Yaya." He smiles at her.
Eric's word instantly hits her hard. He's got a point. She's in a horrible predicament. At war with who's right and wrong, which sides to pick and take. She's in a web of confusion as Eric rambles on. She doesn't reply to him, instead she smirks uneasily, quickly shifting her attention elsewhere.
From a distance, Yaya watches Nadech mingle with the women. His hand rest on the lower back of one of the woman as she leans in to whisper something in his ear. Nadech toss his head back and laughs, flashing his sweet and sexy smile, exposing his cute dimples. Suddenly, the those three little words he once used seem meaningless at this point in time. Does he really want her there like what it said on the note? If he did, then why isn't he waiting for her, let alone search for her? Does he even know that she's already here? If he didn't want her here, why did he go to extreme measures to get here here with all these extravagant things?
Her head begins to throb with pain as questions spirals in her mind. Her eyes unable to turn away from Nadech and those beautiful woman, regret coming out tonight.
"Yoo-Hoo--" Eric waves his hand in front of her, trying to get her attention.
"Uh? What?" She looks at Eric in confusion.
"I've been calling your name for the past minute. What are you staring at?" He looks in the direction she's looking.
"Nothing--" she quickly utters, "Just admiring the beautiful decoration. That's all." She replies quickly, "It's really pretty in here." she tries to avoid the conversation of Nadech.
Eric nods his head, "I see" He gives her a nods, "You're acting quite strange tonight" he utters, wondering what has gotten into her. Before he could ask her some more questions, his phone begins to vibrate in his pocket. He quickly reaches for it then excuses himself.
She's glad he left to talk on the phone. She didn't know how to respond to his comment. From a faint distance, she hears her name being called. Yaya searches the room, wondering where it was coming from.
"Yaya!"
She glances over her shoulder to see Kimmy making her way towards her. She rushes in for Yaya, giving her a bear hug. "How are you!? I'm so glad you came! You look amazing!" she rambles on with excitement and great enthusiasm.
"Hi Kimmy--" Yaya forces a smile on her face, still wondering how people could recognize her under the mask, "Welcome back--How does it feel to be back?" She ask faintly.
"Gosh it feels great!" Kimmy shouts with wide eyes, "I miss it so much but it feels so good to be back! Thank you for coming!" she tells Yaya. "Come--Have another drink with me!" Kimmy grabs two more champagne glasses from the server who passed by. "Cheers and thank you for coming!" She made a toast and downs her glass, which Yaya sips on it slowly. "I'm really glad you came tonight! I feel like we need to catch up!" She rambles on.
"I'm-- I'm glad to be here--" Yaya lies, "But I'm-- I'm actually-- I can't stay too long-- I just stopped by to say hi and welcome back-- I don't want to stay out too late because I have a lot of--"
"Nonsense!" Kimmy cuts her off, "You can't leave it yet! The party's still going on! You have to celebrate it with me!" she pleas, finishing off her champagne glass. "I see you're wearing Barry's grandmother's necklace" She lowers her voice, switching to seriousness.
Yaya glances down at her neckline once again, wondering why people are obsessing so much over the necklace. "Uh" Yaya utters.
"It really means a lot to Barry that you're wearing it." Kimmy smiles from ear to ear, giving a gentle squeeze on the hand. Then Kimmy looks on stage then back at Yaya. "Please stay for a little bit. Bring in the new year with me." She pleas, grabbing a hold of Yaya's arm.
The music shuts off and Nadech takes the mic.
"Uhm... can you stay put Yaya--" Kimmy tells her, "Barry wants me to make a speech-- it'll only take a moment so don't leave just yet okay?" she begs with sad puppy eyes, "It's almost time to ring in the new year so you have to stay..." A big smile sweeps over her face.
"Okay-- I won't leave yet." Yaya cracks a smile. It's just a speech, it won't do any harm. She tells herself.
Kimmy disappears onto the stage with a big smile on her face. "Hello everyone!!!" She shouts loudly into the mic, "Thank you all for coming! I love everyone of you! It feels good to be back! It's a beautiful night and we're ready to bring in the new year!!" She screams. The crowd gets rowdy, hooting and hollering, ready to party some more. "Are you all ready to get the real party started?!" She screams.
The crowd jump and cheers. It was like a mosh pit concert here. Could be all the alcohol in the system talking.
"Alright! Lets party and bring in the new year!" She raises her glass and downs the champagne. "But first--" she sets her champagne glass down, "I want to thank Barry for throwing me this welcome back party..." She looks directly at Yaya and winks, "And Barry would like to say a few words before we continue...." She smiles at Yaya the looks at Nadech and hands him the mic.
Yaya watches in horror. Her mind races with unthinkable scenarios of what he could possible say. Something inside is telling her it won't be a pretty speech.
"Hey, what's going on?" Eric ask as he watches Nadech getting ready to speak.
Yaya glances at him but doesn't answer. Her attention's on Nadech, wondering what kind of trick he's got up his sleeves tonight. Her hearts beating fast pace as her knees tremble.
"I want to thank everyone for coming tonight..." Nadech pauses, "It means a lot to me and to Kimmy " He pauses, and glances at Yaya. "So have fun drinking and mingling there will be taxi cab for those who are too intoxicated to drive home. Have fun and be safe everyone-- And cheers to Kimmy for her safe return... And for bringing in the new year with us--" raises his glass and finishes his drink.
Yaya presses the glass against her lips and finishes her glass of champagne, which taste warm now but she slips on it slowly. The champagne fuzzes in her stomach making her feel bubbly.
"One last thing--" Nadech clears his throat, "There's someone special here tonight..." He utters, "Someone special I want to introduce to everyone..." He chuckles happily with a big smile on his face.
"Someone special huh? I wonder if it's one of those women he was talking to earlier" Eric says, searching for her, "You know, he didn't leave their side the entire night" He smirks.
Yaya ignores Eric's comment, focusing on Nadech.
"We've... Uh... We've been through a lot in the past two years and a half... And I haven't been the best person in the world or the perfect person for that matter-- I've been an asshole" he blurts out.
"Two and a half years...?" Eric utters, "Wow this whole time I thought he was after you " He chuckles, glancing at Yaya, who chuckles uneasily.
"But this woman means a lot to me and I don't see myself with anyone else..." Nadech continues on.
Yaya watches on with paralyzing emotions. Her heart continues to beat loudly against her chest. Feet glued to the floor, yet she's desperately dying to run out of the room and out of sight. She wants out of this place but something's holding her back and she isn't sure what. Is it because she wants to know what he's going to say? Or is she afraid of what he might after he reveals who it really is? She's succumb to the numbness of everything. "Please don't do this" She begs inside her mind, hopelessly wishing he could read her mind, feeling her hand starting to perspire a little.
"It took me a while to realize this... But I've taken a good woman for granted" Nadech smiles, attention directly on Yaya.
The crowd "ooh" and "awww" on, cheering for Nadech. Yaya, looks around her, as people are so focus on Nadech.
"I haven't treated her the way she should be treated But tonight, I want her to know that she means everything to me and I would give up the world for her I wouldn't be the man I am today if it weren't for her... I've never met anyone as incredible as her... She's changed me in ways I never imagine I could... She's open my mind, mentally and spiritually, and made me see that it is possible to love again... She's helped me heal a painful scar... " he begins to get choke up, "And" he pauses. "The day she left, I finally realized how much she truly meant to me it shattered my world... I never got to tell her how I really felt... I was stupid for letting her go... stupid for not fighting for her..." he clinches his jaw, eyes on Yaya. "Most importantly, stupid for not telling her how much I am sincerely and completely... Head over heals... In love with her... I'm in love with her... From the bottom of my heart... I love her " he chuckles nervously.
The crowd begins to chitchat, curious to know who he is talking about.
She removes her mask, gasping for air. Her lungs feel as if they could collapse at any second as the spotlight shines on her. Panicked, she drops her glass of champagne, and covers her mouth, noticing people staring at her. She steps away from the broke glass.
"Yaya... Urassayas Sperbund..." He walks down the stage and makes way towards her, He clears his throat once more, gets down on one knee and takes her by the hand, "I stand before you and in front of all these witness... I'm here to confess my love for you I'm in love with you Yaya Completely head over heels over you... I've been lost without you the past two years and I don't want to lose you again And I'm sorry for what I've done to you... I know this won't make up for everything I've put you through but if you give me a chance, I'll work at it everyday You deserve the best and I'm willing to give you my best from this day forward" He smiles at her, eyes slowly welling up with tears.
Yaya blinks her eyes rapidly, taken by surprise by what he just done. The spotlight shines on them as people surround them. Yaya's unable to comprehend everything that's going on. Her body's numb and she's completely and utterly speechless.
"What the...?" Eric's completely lost as he takes a step back and stares at Nadech and Yaya. "You and Nadech...?" He's trying to follow the story.
Yaya doesn't utter a word, she's stunned by everything, as she looks at Eric in complete and utter shock.
"I'm sorry Yaya" Nadech utters once more, pulling out a small black box from his pocket. "Will you give me another chance Yaya? This time I'm willing to give you all my heart. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?" The opens the box, exposing a huge 15 carat diamond ring that sparkling brightly in the light.
She blinks several times, hand covering her mouth as her heart beats faster. Lungs feeling as if they'll collapse any second. Feet stay glued to the ground. She's immobile. Her hands trembling with fear and nerves. The crowd chatters on, eyes watching like hawks as they wait for Yaya's answer.
A moment pass by and Yaya still doesn't answer him.
"Please say something Yaya" Nadech utters softly, staring at her with happy eyes. Everybody waits for Yaya's answer. All eyes on her once again as time ticks away on this very precious moment.
"I-- I I." She stutters, looking at the crowd Nadech attracted. She glances at Eric, who's in complete and utter shock. Then she glances at Nadech who's on his knee. Yaya swallows hard, "I-- I'm-- I'm sorry. I I" her breathing grows heavier, "I can't" she finally utters, shaking her head as she quickly picking up her dress and pushing her way through the crowd, making her great escape.
The crowd chatter on, confused by the whole situation. Nadech calls her name repeatedly, chasing after Yaya like a manic.
Shee darts out of the banquet, tossing the mask as she runs as fast as her numb feet could take her. She needed to get away. Get far away from him as possible. Far away from everything and everyone.
Footsteps grows louder behind Yaya.
"Yaya wait!!" Nadech shouts in panic, finally reaching her and stopping her before she could enter the cab. He grabs her by the arm and pulls her back, slamming the cab door shut with all his force.
"What do you mean you can't?" He huffs and puffs loudly, trying to catch his breath, "Why are you doing this?" he ask in a panic, "I thought we were on good terms again?" He floods her with questions.
"Let me go Nadech" she pushes him off of her, "You can't expect me to say yes to you like that!" she barks at him. "How could you do this to me like that? In front of all those people! Just because we had one night together, you expect everything to be perfect and fine! Well it's not fine and perfect!" she screams, trying her hardest not to make a scene.
"What-- what do you mean by that?" He stares at her blankly, unable to comprehend what just went down. "So you're telling me what happen between us that night didn't mean anything to you?" He stares her down, eyes flared with anger and hurt, "It was all for
nothing?"
She clinches her fist, hearing footsteps from a distance. She glances over, suddenly noticing Eric and Kimmy right away. She glances at Eric, who looked distressed. Suddenly more spectators watch as the drama unfold between her and Nadech. Yaya stays quiet, mind boggled with unsettling emotions and thoughts. Her mind spins and she's feeling lightheaded.
"Answer me!" he grabs a hold of her, pulling her closer him, "Did that night mean nothing to you at all!?" He snaps at her.
"Nadech-- Let go of me!" she tries to fight him off but his grip tightens, "You're hurting me" she whimpers.
"Answer the got damn question!" he demands, staring her down with his angry eyes, "Did that night mean nothing to you!? Do you hate me that much??"
Yaya's body begins to tremble a bit, suddenly fearful of the man before her. It isn't Nadech.
"Be strong Yaya" She tells herself, inhaling deeply before looking him in the eyes.
"It meant
nothing" she utters coldly, "And I didn't feel anything when we were together I wish I never went that night I regret every bit of it" she swallows hard, staring into his flaring eyes, "I regret ever meeting you and ever falling for a womanizer like you" she barks at him.
Nadech clinches his jaw. Eyes blazed with rage. Body grows numb. Ears ring with her harsh words as her words punctures his fragile heart, shattering him to pieces. Without blinking an eye, he pushes her down to the ground with all his forces.
Yaya takes a hard fall to the ground as her butt smacks the ground with full force. She scraps her arm a bit, letting out a loud cry of pain. She tries to help herself up but she's in too much pain. Her body grows up numb due to the hard fall she took. She glances up at Nadech, who's staring down at her with raging anger. The box still clinches in his hand. He smashes the box down beside her, causing her to flinch. The ring he got her bounces out and falls next to her. Yaya stares at it and then back up at him.
The crowd watches on in horror, covering their mouths in disbelief. Eric and Kimmy makes their way towards Yaya and Nadech.
"Barry! You stop it! Stop it now!" Kimmy pulls him back but Nadech brushes her off, careless of those around him. He's only focused on Yaya.
Eric rushes to Yaya's side trying to help but she tells stops him, letting him know she doesn't need his help.
[SONG PLAYING : BIG BANG - HARU HARU]
Yaya carefully manages to get up despite the horrible pain she felt. She inches closer to Nadech. She removes his necklace, grabbing him by the hand and slamming the necklace down. "Take it back I don't want it Take it all back and forget that
we ever existed I can't do it anymore I just can't Everything between us was a mistake Things will never be fine between us so we should just go our own separate ways We're both only hurting ourselves in the end" She utters boldly, trying to show no emotions and keeping to composure together, though inside she's trying to fight all the emotions from showing.
Nadech closes his fist tightly, gripping onto the precious necklace his grandmother gave him. It's now meaningless. He stares at his numb hand. His blood boils with rage. He looks at her once last time, seeing her stand before him, emotionless without an ounce of tears to show.
[SONG PLAYING : FRANKIE J - DON'T WANNA TRY]
He swallows hard, "I'm trying
so hard so got damn hard to fix what we have, Yaya" he utters, tears slowly slides down the corner of his eyes, "To mend all broken pieces together and so it can make us whole again" he clears his throat, "I want us to be happy again" he takes a step back, "But you
just can't see all the hard effort I've done. Your mind's clouded with all the bad things I've done... I get it I fucked up I'm not perfect I made a mistake a
huge mistake I had to live with it for the past two and a half years" he pauses, trying to catch his breath, "but if want to throw away all the good times that we've shared away just because all you can see is the bad things I've done to you then there's no point in me trying anymore"
Yaya gasps for air, heart beating faster than ever. Hands shaking a bit with fear.
Nadech takes another step back, "This is the end of us then I'm sorry I can't be your prince charming... and I'm sorry I didn't make your fairy tale ending perfect like you wanted... I'm sorry for everything... " he lowers his head and looks at the necklace, "Have a nice life, Yaya I'll keep you in my heart... I hope you one day you find someone who will treat you the way I should have treated you... Goodbye..." he looks up one last time with tears streaming down his face before he turns around and walks away slowly.
In the midst of the heated drama, a loud thunder erupts in the sky and just like that, the rain begins to pour. It was as if the heaven knew what the atmosphere was between them. The gray clouds roars in and it pours like cats and dogs. Just like the last time they spend the night together. It's a different feel to the rain.
Yaya watches him slowly walk away in the pouring rain. Her eyes unable to look away. Her body's paralyzed. Mind filled with a million thoughts and mixed emotions. She begins to shiver in fear as her mind's rocked by the incident. Her body trembles as the cold rain pours down on her bare arms. She collapses to the ground as Nadech disappears out of sight.
Eric flops down beside her, wrapping his blaze over her cold body, comforting her. His touch suddenly triggers her deepest emotions.Tears begin to stream down her eyes like no tomorrow, mixed wit the rain pouring as she glances down noticing the ring besides her. She cries her heart out abruptly, unable to contain her emotions and everything she's feeling inside. Eric pulls her closer to him, comforting her in the rain as she cries her heart out, listening to the rain cry along with her.
"It'll be alright Yaya... Just let it all out... " Eric comforts her crying heart as she buries her face into his chest.
