RACHFULL'S DATE-KAEW FANFIC PART IV
Better things to come... but gotta set everything up in this part
Part IV
Back in his old room, Date paced back and forth. So now Kade was mad at him. Great. But that was hardly a problem, he’d go apologize and plead with her later. She never stayed angry for long. The more pressing matter was this Nathawat character.
There was no way he would allow that child to approach his daughter, the only daughter he’d had for nine years until Prang was born. That was out of the question.
But what if the boy tried to meet Prang in secret? He couldn’t allow that either. That’d be even worse than them courting in front of him. How could he prevent his Kaew from being tainted by that boy? She was only sixteen. She didn’t understand the desires of dishonorable young men, nor did she understand the tactics they used to get what they wanted. Date had been a young man once; he knew all too well what young men wanted and how they got it.
Maybe he could lock her in her room? No, that would be too drastic. And he could never follow through with such a punishment; he’d give in within a few days.
He could send her away for school? Hmmm. The idea had merit, but the problem laid in exactly where he could send Kaew. He didn’t want her to live far away from her friends and family. Or to live far away from him.
He made his decision. Date would simply have to strongly discourage Kaew from dating for the next few years, that was all.
Besides, things weren’t the same as when he and Kade were young. Kade was considered old by the time they married, and she was only a few years past twenty. Women these days were choosing to wait until they were closer to that age to marry. It wouldn’t completely demolish Kaew’s future prospects if she held off courting for a few more years. She would have plenty of time to date and marry after that Nathawat was out of the picture.
Yes, it would have to do. He would tell Kaew tomorrow, then after that issue was resolved, he would go plead with Kade. Maybe afterwards, he’d be able to catch up on the sleep he most certainly wouldn’t be getting tonight.
