Chapter 1 : The promise of an eternal love
Banging the door behind him, Ken was furious against his parents : why can’t they just understand him and, accept his feelings and the woman he loves ? Is money and name the only important things in this world ? Not for him, he will never lost the battle in order to be able to live happily with Aff ! Since he saw her the first time on that rainy day, tree years ago, he loves her like he have never done before : no woman has succeed to win his heart except her. He was first dazzled by her beauty but It were her intelligence, her kindness and her determination in life which made him really fall in love. As soon as Ken turns the key, his new car starts and quickly quits the big Terradeth domain. A half hour later, the back Mercedes stops in front of his best friend house. Ken goes out of his car and goes to knock at the door, the maid opens :
The maid : Khun Terradeth ! What are you doing here so late ? Everyone is deeply sleeping.
Ken : Could you wake up Khun Aum please ‘cause I really need to see him…tell him that is very important !
So, the maid goes. Few minutes later, in pajamas, the eyes not really open, Aum comes to meet Ken.
Aum : What do you want from me for coming so late…no so earlier ? It’s 2 AM you know ?
Ken : Yes I know and I’m really sorry but I really need to talk to you ! I can’t stand my parents anymore : they have gone too far this time !
Aum : Wait…It’s again about your parents ? Do you make fun of me ? ‘cause It’s not really funny…I need to work early tomorrow !
Well…anyway, now that I’m wake up, what’s the problem this time ?
Aum makes Ken enter his house and they both sit on the sofa.
Aum : So what’s the problem ?
Ken : Since they can’t make me change my mind, they decided to attack Aff and proposed her 100 millions bath for leaving and stop watching me. She refused, so they fired her from work. When I saw her, she was tidying her desk up, trying to hide her tears and avoided me. First, she refused to answer to my question, even to talk to me, but after really insisting, she told me the truth. We strongly argued about my wedding and the girl they want me to marry.
Aum : I understand you but I can’t help you my bud !
Ken : I just wanted to talk with someone ‘cause I was so furious that I could do something wrong !
Aum : You can rely on me for everything. I will always support you and your love but It’s late and the only thing you can do now is to return home and sleep to try to find an issue with Aff tomorrow.
Ken : Can I sleep here, at your home ?
Aum : No go home !
This morning, in the silent room, Aff is looking at her image on the large mirror waiting her parents for breakfast. Her little sister sits near to her, really proud in her school uniform and her new shoes that Aff just bought to her few days ago for her birthday, she was then the luckiest girl in the world. For Arissa, her sister is the best sister and woman in the world (after her mother of course) and she loves her so much. She knows her sister have someone special, and that someone is Ken, and she likes him a lot ‘cause each time he come home, he always offers her sweet things. It will be so great if Ken and her sister could marry soon. Suddenly, Arissa ask her sister :
Arissa : When do p’ Ken and you will get marry ?
Aff (with a little sad smile) : One day maybe.
Arissa : What does that mean p’ ? You love each other no ?
Aff : Yes we love each other….but love is not the only thing.
Don’t try to understand ! Your are too young for this kind of think. You just need to focus on school to become someone when you grow up.
Arissa : I want to be like you in the future : your are so beautiful and have a so lovely lover !
Aff smiles nicely to her little sister : she’s really so cute.
At that instant, the parents (khun Gun and khun Noon) enter the room with a « Morning young ladies ! » They all take their breakfast in this warm atmosphere.
In the other side of the town, in the big Terradeth mansion, khun Tor and khun Kate are also eating their breakfast. Then, Ken enter the room and sit in from of her mother without a word. The maid comes to ask what khun Ken wants to eat but he just demands a cup of coffee. When everyone has finished, Ken leaves the table saying that It’s time to go to work but khun Tor replies that he expect that’s really true. Ken just quits the room.
The black Mercedes stops in from of a lovely white house, he picks his cellular in his pocket and calls someone :
Ken : Morning darling ! It’s me….I’m just in front of your house.
Few minutes later, Aff appears, she’s amazing pretty like always but this red dress just makes her be more beautiful than she already is.
Then, she opens the door of the car and enters. As soon as she sits on the passenger place, Ken kiss her on the cheeks and she blushes ; even if it’s not the first time, Aff always feels a little embarrassing.
Aff : Please, don’t do that again…someone could see us.
Ken : And what is the problem ? We are lovers since years and soon to be husband and wife ! He laughs.
Aff : Don’t say stupid thing like that ! Your parents haven’t yet accepted me….
Ken : But I chose you and It will be forever you !
Aff : I want your parent’s blissful for us and our weeding.
Ken : They must accept you one day ‘cause I won’t marry someone else except you.
You are the light of my life since you entered in it and no one could replace you. I promise you an eternal love !
Aff : I love you too p’ Ken and I also promise to only love you for the rest of my life. What ever could happened, I will wait for you.
Then, Ken hugs her and kiss her on the cheeks, and one more time, she blushes.
