Chapter SIX
At the car, Mituna hugged Prinya.
Mituna: Promise me that we’ll stay in touch!
Prinya: Of course. I promise.
Why: Come on. We need to go. I have work to do tomorrow.
Prinya: Fine. Geez. Just hush. I’m leaving my family and friend behind here.
Blame and Ya: (hug their daughter) We love you honey.
They both give her a kiss goodbye and she goes in the van. Pun and Willa hug their friends goodbye and enters the van. Then Tate stands and looks at Mituna. He was going to give her a kiss on the hand, but she walked to stand behind Ya. Tate winks at Mituna.
Tate: Hey you. I’ll keep in touch.
Mituna: (looks away and mutters) Yeah right, jerk.
She continues to avoid eye contact and Tate enters the van. He’s sitting in the front seat with the driver. The car drives off.
Tate: (thinking to self) Why was she acting all strange today? Uninterested in me and avoiding me. Totally different from yesterday.
Blame and Ya look at each other and hope they are doing the right thing for their daughter. They hope the two will fall in love, especially after what they saw this morning. Meanwhile Prinya falls asleep. She’s a heavy sleeper so this ride wasn’t difficult for her. Why on the other hand isn’t such a heavy sleeper. He kept shuffling around. He sat behind the driver and he looked into the rearview mirror and saw Prinya sleeping.
Why: (thinking) She is cute when she sleeps. She sleeps so soundly. Wish I could do that.
He continues to look out the window next and decided to put his iPod on to listen to the music that he needs to edit for work tomorrow. He has three artists that he needs to produce tracks for and he needed to edit at least one of them tomorrow.
Finally, a couple hours later, they enter Bangkok and Prinya wakes up.
Prinya: (suddenly shouts) Oh my gosh! Bangkok here I come!
Tate burst out laughing along with the driver, Willa, and Pun. Why was annoyed.
Why: (turns to look back at Prinya) Hush. You’re messing with my work.
Prinya: Hey, this is only my third time here and I want to announce my presence.
Why: Oh, you’re so cool (annoyed).
Prinya: You know it! (talking back)
Why shook his head and tried to ignore Prinya. Prinya kept talking about her previous trips here. She mentioned that she never got to really go anywhere due to school related trips. She also had to attend some meeting with her dad regarding the resort and it was boring. They had to head home that night so she didn’t get to stop anywhere. But, she loved the stall outside of some store that she got to eat some great bbq pork while her dad went to use the restroom. Everyone seemed interested in Prinya’s stories. But, Why pretended like he wasn’t listening, when in fact he was.
They made it to the Mahasamoot house. This house was amazing. It was like a palace. Prinya couldn’t believe how big it was. She definitely married into royalty. But, it was a fake wedding according to the agreement between her and Why. As they entered, all the maids were gossiping about Prinya’s arrival. Two of the maids disliked Prinya for marrying Why.
Maid 1 (Som): (whispered to Wor) She married Mr. Why? She’s some country girl who doesn’t deserve him. He belongs to someone who’s a superstar like Miss Lamb.
Maid 2 (Wor): (whispering) Yes. We’ll have to let the neighbors know so that they can bring this to the press and we’ll be praised by Miss Lamb.
Prinya: Gosh. This place is bigger than I thought.
Maid 3 (Yam): Miss Prinya. I’m so glad to meet you. I’ve been waiting for your arrival and serve you.
Why: Don’t suck up Yam. Just because she’ll be your new boss.
Yam: I’m not Mr. Why. I’m saying what I believe. Miss Prinya is so pretty.
Why walks up the stairs to his room. Willa urges Prinya to follow, but Prinya doesn’t.
Yam: Miss Prinya, let me take your bags for you.
Prinya: That’s okay. I’ll do it myself.
Yam: But Miss, I really want to do it for you. I will get in trouble if I don’t.
Prinya: Mr and Mrs Mahasamoot, I really would like to do this myself.
Pun: Please don’t call us that. Please call use father and mother.
Prinya: But that’s weird.
Willa: We are your in laws now. We’ve always wanted a daughter.
Prinya: Fine. Please let me take up my own luggage.
Pun: Alright, but Yam has to follow you in to make sure you’re okay. You will be sharing a room now that we know Why has already taken advantage of you.
Prinya: But, but it wasn’t…
Willa: (cuts off Prinya) Now daughter, no need to be shy.
She urges Yam and Prinya to go on up. Prinya knew Why was right about things earlier when they were making the deal. She couldn’t fight it. So she just accepted the fact that she had to share a room. Now, she will fight for the bed. Let the battle begin.
Why: It’s my house and my bed. I’ve been sleeping on it for years!
Prinya: No wonder it looks used.
Why: Then why do you want it?
Prinya: Because I want to sleep comfortably. I don’t want to sleep on the floor.
Why: You did at your house. So why can’t you here?
Prinya: What kind of man makes his wife sleep on the floor?
Why: We agreed that we’re not going to be like normal couples. You’re going to sleep on the floor. It’s final!
Prinya: (scheming something) Fine then. I’ll sleep on the floor.
Why: I guess I won the battle now. (laughs to himself)
All of a sudden Prinya starts to cry.
Prinya: I always get pushed around. (wailing louder) Why is life so unfair? First I have to marry a guy I don’t love. Then I have to sleep on the floor for four years? Ahhh. Wahh.
Why starts to feel guilty now. He is inconsiderate. She’s a woman after all. He should be nice.
Why: Fine. I’ll take the floor.
Prinya: (calms down and sniffles) You will? You promise?
Why: (hesitates, but agrees) Yes. I promise.
Prinya gets on the bed and pushes Why to the floor.
Prinya: Okay. Thanks. (she turns and starts to laugh silently)
Why: See. I am a gentleman.
Prinya: Yeah. And a sucker! (starts laughing uncontrollably)
Why realized he had been tricked and got back up on his feet, but Prinya looked like she was about to shove him off with her feet. He backed off.
Prinya: You promised. A gentleman doesn’t take back his words. Sucker. (laughs)
Why couldn’t believe this girl. He grabs his pillow and blanket and rolls around on the floor. He can’t fall asleep. After five minutes he sneaks a peek on the bed. Prinya was sleeping soundly again. After two hours he couldn’t stand the floor. He knew this would ruin his work tomorrow. So, he went on his couch. He started to drift off to sleep after another half an hour.
In the morning Prinya woke up and decided she should annoy her husband. She decides to pour water on his face. So, she got out of bed and saw that he was sleeping on the couch. She went to the bathroom and grabbed a cup. She started filling the cup up. Then she walked out slowly towards him. He was facing the back of the couch. She was about to pour the water, but thought of something at that moment.
Prinya: (thinking) Hmm, if I pour this, his couch will get wet. Then it’ll be stained. It is a white couch after all.
So she figured that she’d just use her hand to sprinkle water on his face.
Why: God, what is that?
Prinya: Wake up honey! (talked really loudly)
Why: (startled) Wah? (got up suddenly and accidentally kicked Prinya in the leg)
She begins to topple over and she was trying to save the water in the cup from hitting the couch. But, it was too late, she fell on top of Why and he fell back. The water went all over his face. He spat the water out from his mouth. Prinya was afraid because she was in trouble now.
Prinya: Umm, here let me wipe if off for you. (panicking)
Why: (grabs hold of Prinya’s arm) No. Just stop. What were you thinking?
Prinya: (pouting) I was just going to play a joke on you. I didn’t think you’d make me fall and spill water all over the place.
Why: (looks mad) You should’ve not even think about jokes. You’re a married woman now. No need to play childish pranks. Grow up!
Prinya: (looks away) Fine. I’ll pay for the damage on your couch.
Why: You have to pay for my laundry service too. My expensive pajamas are all wet.
Prinya: Can’t the maids just wash it?
Why: (yelling) No, it has to be dry cleaned! They're silk!
