Chapter 17

Parichat arrived at her house and saw her belongings scattered all over the front porch.

“What’s going on here?!” she asked, coming down from the car.

Waan, her housekeeper ran to her, “We tried stopping her but she wouldn’t listen.”

Rada walked outside and saw Parichat, “Oh, you’re here…”

“You have no rights to throw my things outside like this!”

“Of course I do. I live here so it makes me the owner. You don‘t even live here anymore so I did the right thing by throwing your stiff out.”

Parichat walked towards Rada, “Even if I don’t live here anymore, you still can’t just throw my stuff out like this!”

“You’re dad said I can…oh wait, I forgot, he isn’t your dad anymore…”

Parichat looked to her side and found her mom’s picture cracked open from the frame, “Mom….”

Rada laughed softly, “It was getting in the way in the house so I figured I threw it away. She’s dead anyways.”

“That’s it! I had enough of you! You said I don’t live here anymore right?”

“That’s right…”

“Then I don’t have to be considerate of you anymore. All these years I wanted to do something to you but khun Pakorn always came and interrupt…..”

“What? What can a girl like you do to me?”

“Something I wanted to a long time ago!”

Parichat put down her mom’s picture and gave Rada a slap across her face.

“Parichat! How dare you slap me?!”

Parichat slapped her again, “I can do more if you want!”

This time Rada fought back and the two quarreled in the front lawn. The housekeeper tried to stop the two but couldn’t, afraid they might get hit by one of the two.

Khun Pakorn came home and saw his wife and Parichat fighting outside. He got out the car to stop them.

“You two stop it! Now!”

He held back his wife, while Waan held back Parichat.

“What the hell are you doing here?!” he asked her. “You don’t belong here anymore.”

“I know that!” Parichat snapped. “I just came to get my stuff. Do you know what your wife has done?”

“What did she do?”

“She threw my stuff out! She even threw mom’s picture out!”

“That’s because I let her….”

Parichat heart sunk, “I know I’m not your daughter but you have that much hatred towards me?”

“Yeah….because you have brought bad reputation to this family! You made me embarrass in front of my friends and workers!”

“But the only reason why I did those things were to get your attention even though it’ll make the family look bad. All I wanted from you was for you to pay attention to me! Growing up, all you cared was Rada! Rada this, Rada that! “

“How can I love you like my own daughter?! Every time I look at your face, it reminds me of your mother and how it betrayed me!”

“So you had to put it out on me?! I’m pretty sure what mom did to you was an accident. She didn’t mean to hurt you…”

“But she did! And I will never forgive her for that! Get your stuff and get out of my house or I’ll call the police to arrest you for trespassing!”

Khun Pakorn took Rada back into the house to comfort her and left Parichat outside to pick up her belongings. Waan was there to help her.

“Why does khun Pakorn have to be so cruel?” complained Waan. “Khun noo, where are you going to be staying at?”

“Don’t worry about me. I have a place to stay already.”

“Can I come live with you? I don’t want to stay at this house anymore. I don’t wanna live with mean people.”

“You stay here Waan. Take care of dad…..I mean…take care of khun Pakorn for me.”

“But---”

“No buts….look, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. You’re a good person. You’re like a second mom to me and I love you for that.”

Waan gave Parichat a hug, “I love you like a daughter of my own too. I’ll miss you….”

“I’ll miss you too…….take care okay?”

“You too…and if you need anything, just give me a call okay?”

“Okay….”

-------------------------------

Araya came out of the shower that evening and found Nawin laying on their bed, smiling at her.

“What are you smiling about?”

“It is the night of our wedding…why don’t you hop onto the bed and let’s get freaky…”

Araya threw the towel at his face, “Pervert!”

“What? That’s what every newly wed do.”

Araya ignored him and grabbed her pillow and blanket and set it on the couch.

“What are you doing?” he asked, getting up. “Don’t tell me you’re gonna make me sleep on that uncomfortable couch?”

“I’m not telling you to sleep here. I’m gonna sleep here.”

“You sure? The couch is kind of hard. You might hurt your back, and what about the baby?”

“Then you come sleep here then if you’re worried about the baby because there’s no way I’m sleeping on the same bed with you.”

“But we’re married already. Nobody’s not gonna say anything.”

“So….you better choose, either you sleep here on the couch or I will.”

“Okay, fine. I’ll sleep on that dumb couch. But I’m only doing this for the baby, just to let you know!”

“Then get your ass over here then.”

Nawin grabbed his pillow and blanket and placed it on the couch, while Araya hopped on the bed.

“Ahhh, the bed is so comfortable…” she teased.

“Shut up….”

Araya laughed to herself as she falls asleep, while Nawin was still trying to get comfortable.

-----------------------------------

Araya woke up the next morning and found Nawin sleeping next to her on the bed. She quickly sat up, “AHHHHH!”

Nawin quickly got up, worried something bad had happen to Araya, “WHAT? Are you about to give birth? Did your water drop?”

Araya slapped him for his stupidity, “Dumbass! It hasn’t even been nine months yet!”

“Then why did you scream so loud?”

“What are you doing here? You’re suppose to be sleeping over there…”

Nawin yawned, “Well the couch was uncomfortable. I couldn’t sleep there. Just please let me sleep here. I promise I won’t do anything to you.”

“No! If not the couch, then the floor is the only option…”

“The floor?! That’s worst than the couch!”

Araya smiled, “Then baby, you gonna have to sleep on the couch then.”

Nawin pouted, “Why did I ever agree to marry you.”

“You could divorce me?”

“No way! If I divorce you, I don’t get my will!”

“Then I guess you’re gonna be stuck with me and that so uncomfortable couch over there….”

“Hmph….I can live with that….but since we’re married now, go make me some breakfast.”

“You have hands, go make it yourself.”

“Na-uh. Did you forget about our deal?”

“What deal?”

“That after we get married, you agreed to be a good wife to me…remember baby?”

Araya clenched her teeth, “Of course. What do you want for breakfast?”

Nawin thought for a moment, “Um…I want ham and cheese, toast, scrambled eggs, and a cup of orange juice.”

“Anything else?”

“That’ll be it. Thanks babe…”

Araya clenched her teeth again, “You’re welcome babe….”​

Chapter 18

Araya sat and watched Nawin ate his breakfast. She didn’t want to eat anything, afraid she might puke it all out.

“You’re not hungry?”

Araya shook her head, “No. I’m scared I might throw it back out.”

“So you are hungry…” Nawin took a scoop of rice and eggs and put it close to Araya’s mouth, “Here…”

Araya quickly closed her nose, “What are you doing? Get that away from me?!”

“I’m feeding you…”

“No! I told you I don’t want to eat!”

“But you have to eat so the baby could be healthy.”

“But it stinks…!”

“Here, let me teach you a technique. Just close your nose while chewing. That way you won’t smell the scent when you’re chewing…”

“Will that even work?”

Nawin shrugged, “Works for me when my grandmother tries to give me medicine when I was little….here you hold your nose, while I feed you. Deal?”

“I can feed myself you know…”

“I know but I want to be romantic…..”

“Why?”

“Dang, cuz I want to. Now open wide…”

Araya held her nose and opened her mouth. Win fed her and she quickly began chewing.

Win laughed, “Slow down girl. You don’t want to choke now.”

After she swallowed, Araya waited for any gagging reaction but there was none.

“So did my plan work?” Nawin asked with a smile.

“Yeah….I guess it works…..”

“Good, here’s another bite.”

Araya opened her mouth and chewed the food as Nawin was feeding her. For once, Araya saw another side of Nawin that she has never seen before. Araya’s phone rang and interrupted their breakfast romance. She got up to answer it, “Hello?”

“Araya, If’s me Asanai.”

“Hey Asanai, what’s up?”

“Is Parichat with you?”

“No…why would she be over here with me?”

“Because she’s not over here at the hotel.”

“Maybe she went out or something. Try calling her.”

“I did and so has Ome. It went straight to her voicemail. And knowing Chat, she isn’t like this. She’ll tell me if she was going somewhere.”

“Maybe she slept over at her house.”

“Okay, why would she be over there when that’s the last place she’ll ever go.”

“Well yesterday she left early because she said she was going to clear things up at her house. Maybe her and her dad are in good terms right now.”

“Maybe….I’ll try calling her other friends to see if they know where they are…”

“Okay and if you hear anything, let me know……”

“Yeah…you too…”

Araya hung up her phone and went back to sit down. Now she’s starting to worry about Parichat.

“What’s wrong? And who called?”

“Asanai. He called to see if Parichat was here.”

“Why would she be over here?”

“Because she isn’t at the hotel. Asanai’s worried something bad might have happened to her.”

“Maybe she’s back at her house. Didn’t you tell me yesterday that she left early to go home?”

“Yeah…..”

“See, she might be sleeping at her house right now. Her and her dad probably stop fighting already.”

“Yeah but Chat’s my best friend. She should call and tell me if her and her dad were in good terms.”

“Unless…..”

Araya had a worried face, “Unless what?”

“What if her step-mom kidnapped her and left her out in the middle of nowhere….”

Araya hit Nawin on the arms, “How stupid can you be?! And don’t say that! You’re scaring me!”

Win rubbed his arms, “It was only an opinion…”

“Well next time keep your opinions to yourself….”

Araya stood up and headed for the stairs.

“Where are you going?” Win asked.

“To find Chat.”

“I’m coming too.”

---------------------------------

Back at Siam Paradise, Asanai was still calling Parichat’s other friends if they knew anything about her. The more he found out no one knew about her, the more he got worried. Ome was also starting to get worried. Joy was there to calm both of them down.

“Where can she be? Asanai, she didn’t tell you anything?” Joy asked.

“No….last time I saw her was at the wedding but Araya told me that she left early yesterday to go back home.”

“Have you tried calling her house?”

“Yes but no one answered the phone.”

“What if something happened to her?” Ome asked with concern.

Joy saw that Ome’s concern for Parichat was obvious. She nudged him a little to calm down so Asanai wouldn’t notice.

Ome stood up, “Well I have some papers to sign so if you guys hear anything on her, let me know….”

Just when Ome walked away, Asanai’s phone rang and it was Parichat. Ome stayed to listen.

“Chat, where are you? You know you got people over here worrying about you!”

“Dude, I’m fine….”

“Where are you?”

“Somewhere. I just want to clear my head for awhile.”

“Araya told me you left home yesterday. Why did you go back?”

“”Go get my stuff. Stupid Rada threw out all my stuff including my mom’s picture….”

“You mean that big picture that you hung on the wall?”

“Yeah that one……”

“Are you okay though?”

“I will be….you don’t have to worried about me. Oh could you tell Ome I’ll be back in a couple of days?”

“You tell him yourself. He’s standing right here…”

Asanai handed Ome over the phone, “Hello? Chat, where are you? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Thanks….I’m just feeling uneasy right now. I just need to go away and clear my head for awhile. Look, I’ll be back in a couple of days. I have to go, I’m using a public phone…”

After Parichat hung up, Ome gave Asanai back his phone.

“What did she say?” Joy asked.

“She said she’s feeling uneasy right now. She wants to clear her head.”

“Where would Chat go when she’s feeling uneasy?” Asanai asked himself.

Just then Ome remembered the time when Parichat told him she goes to the beach when she’s feeling sad or uneasy. Ome started walking towards his car.

“Ome, where are you going?” Joy asked.

“Somewhere” he called back. “I’ll be back…”

“My guess is he’s going to go find Parichat….”

Joy looked at Asanai, “How do you know?”

“I don’t know if you notice but Ome seems to be concern for Chat more than I am, knowing he’s her ex-boyfriend…..”

“You noticed too?”

Asanai nodded, “Of course. But I don’t blame him. Personally, I think he still loves her.”

Joy looked down, “I’m sorry….”

“Why are you apologizing?”

“Because Ome. I know it’s obvious he still have feelings for her, whether he wants to admit that or not, but you’re her boyfriend now. Don’t be mad at him.”

Asanai laughed softly, “Why would I be mad at him?”

“Uh hello, another guy has feelings for your girlfriend. Shouldn’t you feel anything by that?”

“What about you? You’re Ome’s girlfriend. He still has feelings for Chat. You’re okay with that?”

Me?! Ome’s girlfriend?! Who told you?!”

“Chat did!”

Joy laughed, “Then she misunderstood us then. Ome and I are just friends. I mean I know our parents wants us to get together but Ome and I are strictly friends.”

Asanai got happy, “So you and Ome aren’t a couple?”

Joy shook her head, “Not in this life time. But I’m happy Chat found a good guy like you who can take care of her….”

“Um….actually I have something to tell you too….”

“What?”

“Chat and I aren’t a couple either. I only pretended to be her boyfriend is because I guess she was trying to make Ome jealous…”

“Jealous? Why?”

“I guess she thought you and Ome were going out so she didn’t want to feel left out I guess….”

“Wait, so if you’re not Chat’s boyfriend, then what are you to her?”

“I’m her cousin. My mom and her mom are sisters…”

Joy nodded slowly, “Do you think Chat still have feelings for Ome?”

“Yeah, even if she doesn’t want to admit it.”

“And being Ome’s best friend, I know he still loves her too……I think I have an idea…”

“What?”

“Why don’t we come up with some plan to get them back together?”

“Alright…sounds like a good idea…..”

Araya and Win walked in the hotel, “Hey Asanai, any words from Chat?” she asked.

“Yeah, she just called.”

“Where is she?”

“I’m not sure but I have a feeling Ome knows where she’s at.”

Nawin looked around, “Where is he by the way?”

“My guess, he’s on his way to find her right now…”​

Chapter 19

Parichat took out her sandals and walked slowly into the ocean. When she almost got to the deep part, she felt someone grabbed her hand and quickly pulled her up to shore. Everything was happening so quickly, she couldn’t tell who it was, all she knew was it was a guy. A guy that looks like Ome from the back.

When they reached shore, her thoughts were right. It was Ome that pulled her out of the water.

“Are you stupid to kill yourself like that Chat?!” he yelled. “I know you have problems with your family and life, but did you have to think short like that?!”

Parichat pushed Ome, “You’re the one that’s stupid! Why did you do that?!”

“You were about to kill yourself!”

“I’m trying to kill myself?! Are you stupid?! I wasn’t trying to kill myself!”

“Then what were you doing?”

“What do people come to the beach for?! They come to relax, they come to play in the water, not to kill themselves stupid!”

Ome felt dumb, “You weren’t trying to kill yourself?”

“No! Even if my life do suck, I’m not that stupid to kill myself. And if I really wanted to kill myself, I rather shoot myself in the head. More painful, much faster.”

Ome laughed nervously, “Oops, my bad….”

Parichat grabbed her sandals and walked back to the hotel room. Ome followed her.

“Chat wait…” Ome called after her.

Parichat turned around, “What do you want?”

“You’re mad at me?”

“Why would I be mad at you?”

“You know…for yelling at you earlier thinking that you were gonna kill yourself…..I’m sorry…”

“It’s okay….I understand….”

“How long are you going to stay here?”

Parichat shrugged, “I don’t know….maybe a couple of more days….”

“Are you okay? Asanai told me that you left early to go home during Araya’s wedding. Is everything okay?”

Parichat looked away, “yeah…everything’s fine…”

“You’re lying…”

She looked at Ome, “How do you know if I’m lying or not?”

“Chat I know you. I know when you lie because you look away…..can you please tell me what happened? Maybe I can help…”

“Some things I want to keep to myself so if you would excuse me, I’m gonna go take a shower.”

Parichat ran into her room and shut the door on Ome. He couldn’t get through to her so he went back to his room.

-------------------------------

Nawin slouched on the couch, flipping through channels and being bored.

He sighed, “Oh my god, it’s so boring! Nothing to do! I wanna go out!”

Araya laughed, “It’s too bad you’re married….”

“And who’s fault was that?”

“Yours stupid. You’re the one that started this whole mess and you agreed to my condition….”

Nawin sat up, “Hey, but I still could go to the club if I bring you with me right? That was our agreement…”

Araya shook her head, “I don’t remember that agreement! You’re lying.”

“Well can’t you come with me?”

“No! Do you actually want to bring your pregnant wife to the club? If you do, you’re a jerk!”

“Gosh I was just kidding……”

“Well have fun watching TV, I’m gonna go upstairs and take a shower…”

After Araya went upstairs, Nawin had an idea in mind, “If I can’t go to the club, I’ll bring the club to me….”

He smirked and grabbed his phone and called all his guy and girl friends to come over for a party. He knew Araya would not approve of it but he did it anyways.

------------------------------------

Parichat walked to open the door when it rang. She was surprise to see Ome still here, “I thought you’d left?”

“I need to know if you’re okay first…”

“I already told you I’m fine.”

“No you’re not. You like to keep things inside and that’s not healthy. Just tell me what’s bothering you, maybe I can help.”

Parichat sighed, “Why are you doing this?”

“I’m worried about you…..so I was wondering if you want to go for a walk down the beach?”

Parichat thought about it for a moment and decided to go after all. She didn’t know why but somehow Ome convinced her.

Neither of them talked as they stroll down the beach. Somehow the silence didn’t bother them. Parichat kept enough distance from Ome so their hands wouldn’t brush against each other as they were walking.

“Are you thinking about staying here over night?” Parichat finally asked.

Ome nodded, “I think so…”

“What about your hotel? Who’s going to watch it?”

“Don’t worry, I told Joy to look after it for me…”

Parichat rolled her eyes, “Of course…” she mumbled.

Parichat came to a spot and sat down. Ome joined her.

“What are you thinking about?” he asked.

She sighed and look at him, “About everything in life…….you expect the unexpected….”

“Are you talking about your family?” he asked in a soft voice.

“Parichat nodded slowly, “My dad especially…..”

“Look, I know you and him have some personal issues but I think if you would just sit down and talk it out with him and tell him how you feel…”

“It’s not going to work!” she interrupted him with tears in her eyes. “It’s no point….”

“Why not?”

She wiped her tears off her eyes and stood up and walked away. Ome wiped the sands off his hand and followed her, “Chat, wait up….”

She stopped when he reached her and got in front of her, “Why are you crying?” he asked, wiping the tears off her face.

“My dad kicked me out of the house for good…….”

“I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean it….”

“Yeah? Well tell me then, when he told me I’m not his daughter and he isn’t my real dad, do you think he meant that or no?”

Ome was a little surprise, “Wait, what? You’re not his daughter?”

“He told me himself. I didn’t want to believe it at first but after thinking about it, why he never showed any concern for me and why he hated me so much, he was actually telling the truth….”

“If he’s not your dad, then who is?”

Parichat shrugged, “I don’t know…and I don’t think I want to know…..”

Ome pulled Parichat close to him and wrapped his arms around her, comforting her as she cries, “I’m sorry…..”

Parichat sobbed, “You have no idea how much I tried to get his attention through out my whole life. I didn’t care what kind of attention it was, I just wanted him to care…..but no matter what I did, he didn’t even bother. All he did was put me down……”

“So that explains the partying and wild habits…”

Parichat nodded, “I didn’t want to be that kind of girl that people thought I was, I thought I had to be that kind of person…….”

“No, no…you don’t have to explain, I understand completely now…..and I’m sorry for saying stuff to you and how you’re not being a good daughter….”

Parichat pulled away from Ome, “But I wasn’t a good daughter….but I was trying…..but he never appreciated anything….I was a bi-product of my mom’s betrayal….”

Ome walked closer to Chat, “You’re blaming yourself and you shouldn’t……”

“Because of my action, I lost everyone…everyone ran away from me…..my mom passed away while giving birth to me, my dad who isn’t my dad hated me for everything, and…..” Parichat turned to look at Ome, “even the best boyfriend I ever had, broke up with me……”

Ome knew Parichat and Pakorn had problems but he never knew the detailed about it when he was dating her. Chat never gave him any detailed but deep down inside he knew something was up because even when they were together, she looks happy but her eyes are always filled with sadness. He never realized how sad her life is like……..​

Chapter 20

Araya finished showering and when she came out of the bathroom, she heard people talking and music playing very loud downstairs. She hurried to get dress and rushed down to see what was going on. To her surprise, there were people she didn’t recognize in her house, dancing and drinking, and worst, a girl was giving Nawin a lap dance. She went to pull the girl off her husband’s face, “That’s my husband you’re showing your ass to!”

Nawin stood up, “Araya, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing? What are you doing?! What are these people doing in my house?!”

“We’re just having a little party that’s all…and it‘s my house too”

“Little? You call this little?! And nobody told you, you could bring these people over!”

“Araya, these are my friends….”

“Then I’m pretty sure you won’t have a hard time telling them to leave!”

Win shook his head, “Nobody is leaving…since I can’t go out, I thought I bring the club over here to me…..”

Araya closed her ears from the loud music, “You know you’re really being a jerk right now Win!”

“What?!….I can’t hear you over the music!”

Araya walked outside to her backyard and was angry that people were swimming in her pool that she just cleaned. She was pregnant so she had to close her mouth around the smokers, “Get out of my house! The party is over!”

“The only person that can tell us to leave is Win” a man said.

“But this is my house so it makes me the owner…NOW LEAVE!”

Two girls walked up to Araya, “So you’re Win’s wife?”

Araya turned to look at the two, “Yeah. What’s it to you?”

“We heard you got pregnant before you even got married” one of the girl said. “Is it even Win’s child?”

“Whether it’s Win’s child or not, that’s none of your business…..”

“Just to let you know, Win and I were in love and we still are, so I would appreciate it if you leave him!”

“I’m sorry to tell you but I can’t do that…..”

“Why not?”

“Um…let’s just say that his life depends on me….”

“You’re just after his money aren’t you?!” the other girl asked.

Araya smirked, “Just like you guys right? But you know what, I consider myself lucky because I only had to use my magic once and Win is mine.” Araya laughed to herself, “But you guys, I bet you guys tried so many ways to get him but it just didn’t work…you poor girls…”

“Araya!” both girls said her name.

“Yeah, that’s my name….so what?”

Araya pushed them to the side to walk back inside but one of the girls grabbed her hair and both of them started slapping her. And even though Araya is pregnant, she wasn’t going to let other girls hit her like this, especially if they are Win’s fling.

The crowds were cheering on, some were on Araya’s team, the others on the two girls. Dan, one of Win’s closest friend tried to stop the fight since he knew Araya is pregnant, but none of the girls listened. So the only way was to go tell Nawin.

Win was have some drinks and getting flirty with girls. He knew he broke the deal he had with Araya but he just didn’t care anymore. He wanted to have fun.

“Win! Win!” Dan called his name, running to him.

“What man? You know you’re interrupting my conversation with this pretty woman right here….”

“It’s Araya man…”

“What now? Look, if she’s telling y’all to go home, ignore her….”

“She’s fighting with your fling or should I say flings…..”

“What?”

“You better go stop her if you don’t want nothing to happen to the baby inside her stomach…”

Another guy cam running inside to Win, “Win…your wife’s in trouble!”

“What do you mean in trouble?”

“”She fell hard to the ground and her stomach is hurting real bad right now….I think it’s the baby!”

Nawin rushed out to the backyard and pushed through the crowds. Araya was laying on the ground, holding onto her stomach, crying.

“Araya!”

He carried her to his car and drove as fast as he can to the nearest hospital. Dan followed behind in his car.

----------------------------

Dan and Nawin waited outside the emergency room. Win’s phone rang. It was Napat.

“Hello?” he said softly…….

“Hey Win…do you what Araya did to her phone…I tried calling her but she never picks up. Can I talk to her?”

“Um……she can’t talk right now…..”

“Why? Is she sleeping?”

“No……..she’s in the hospital right now…….”

“What happened?”

“It’s my fault. I held a party at the house and Araya kind got into a fight with my exes……”

“Oh my god, is she okay?”

“I don’t know…doctor hasn’t come out yet……but I have to go……doctor’s here…”

“Okay…….”

“Are you Araya’s husband?” the doctor asked Win.

He nodded, “Yes, how’s my wife doctor?”

“Well, she’s doing okay. And the baby’s fine…..”

Win was relieved, “Thank goodness…”

“But I have to warn you a little. At this stage in the pregnancy, it’s easy for a mother to have a miscarriage. So whatever happened, don’t let it happen again……”

Nawin nodded, “I understand….Can I go in and see her?”

“Not at the moment. I want the patient to rest first….You can go see her tomorrow morning….”

“Thank you doctor…..”

----------------------

It was getting late and Dan had already left. Win, still waiting for Araya, sat outside the room. After Napat found out what happened, she called Parichat to go see Araya at the hospital since she wasn’t able to do so since she lived in Chiang Mai. Parichat, who refused to go back at this time changed her mind once she found out what had happened to her friend. Ome drove her to the hospital after the phone call. There, she saw Nawin sitting and standing.

“Chat…..how’d you know about this?” Win asked.

Parichat gave Nawin a good slap, “You’re a real jerk, if no one told you already! How can you do this to her?!”

Nawin looked down, “I know what I did was wrong…I feel bad about it….”

“How come you didn’t feel bad when you invited people over to your house for a party huh?!”

Ome pulled Chat away from Win, “I think that’s enough Chat…I’m pretty sure Win didn’t want this to happen…….how’s the baby by the way?”

“Safe……”

“Why are you out here?”

“Doctor’s not allowing any visits yet.”

“When can we see her?” Parichat asked.

“Tomorrow morning……”

“Does your grandmother and Araya’s grandmother know about this?”

Nawin shook his head, “No. I didn’t want to tell them. I didn’t want them to get worried.”

“Are you planning to stay here until morning?” Ome asked.

“Yeah” Win replied “Look, you guys don’t have to stay here with me if you don’t want to…..I’ll call you when she wakes up…..”

Ome looked at Chat, “What do you think?”

“No…I want to stay here…Ome you can go if you want…..”

“Okay…in that case, I’ll stop by tomorrow morning then….”

Parichat nodded, “Okay…hey…could you stop by Siam Paradise and tell Asanai where I’m at….”

“Sure…….”​

Chapter 21

Araya woke up the next morning and saw Win sleeping aside her bed. She recalled everything that happened last night and was still so angry with him. He woke up when she moved her hands away from his.

“Araya….you finally woke up….how are you?”

“Why are you even asking that question? It’s not like you care…..”

“The reason why I’m asking is because I am worried about you and I do care….”

“Really? Because what you did last night sure doesn’t seem like it…..”

“Look…about last night….I’m sorry….I didn’t know it was gonna turn out like this…..”

Araya’s face turned red, tears filled her eyes, “How could you? You bring people to the house without letting me know. I got slapped by your little girlfriends……people were smoking…..Win, I’m pregnant with your child! You know I can’t be around those kind of environment!…….I’m so mad at you right now…I can’t even look at your face!”

“I’m sorry…..it won’t happen again…I promise. What can I do to make you not mad at me anymore?”

Araya wiped her tears off her face, “Just leave the room. I don’t want to talk to you right now…….”

After Nawin left, Parichat came in with breakfast, “Hey, you hungry?”

“No, I don’t like hospital food…”

“It’s not really hospital food…I bought it downstairs…”

“I’m not hungry anyways. Thanks though.”

Parichat grabbed a chair and pulled to sit next to Araya, “So I saw Win walked out. He seems pretty sad….”

“I can’t believe he would do something like that without letting me know first.”

“It’s Nawin we’re talking about. Nothing surprising about him. You know he’s capable of these kind of things.”

“I just think it was so disrespectful of him to do that though……”

“He doesn’t think before he acts, you know that.”

Someone knocked on the door and Joy’s head popped in, then was followed by Asanai and Ome.

“Hey Araya, Ome told us what happened. How are you feeling?” Joy asked.

“I’m doing better…”

Asanai handed Araya the basket of fruits, “These are for you. We were going to get you flowers but the smell might be too strong for you….”

“Thanks….”

Ome looked around the room, “Where’s Nawin?”

“He left” Araya replied.

Asanai looked at Parichat, “I need to talk to you in private. Can we go outside?”

Chat nodded, “Yeah….”

----------------------

“What is it?” Chat asked, when they were outside, the room.

“How are you doing?”

“I’m fine. Why?”

“Ome told me what happened at the house and I was thinking……next month, I’m gonna go back to L.A., you wanna go back with me?”

“You’re asking me to move to L.A.?”

Asanai nodded, “Yeah……you don’t have anyone here. At least over there, you’ll have me and my family. I talk to my mom about it and she really wants you to move over there….”

“I…I don’t know what to say….”

“Just think about it……it’ll be good to start over and get away from all these problems…..”

Parichat smiled, “Thanks Asanai….”

“You’re my little cousin. I’m just trying to look out for you…”

Parichat gave Asanai a hug, “You’re a sweet guy…”


Ome walked out and saw the two hugging. He was hurt and sad by it. Joy came out seconds later.

At the corner of her eye, Parichat saw Ome and Joy standing there and she pulled away from Asanai.

“Sorry for interrupting” Ome said, walking away. Joy followed him.

“Ome wait…” Joy called after him.

Ome stopped but didn’t turn around.

“If you still have feelings for her, just tell her….”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Joy went in front of Ome to look at him, “You still love Chat don’t you?”

“She has a boyfriend already.”

Joy smiled, “It’s a yes or no question. Do you still love her or not?”

“Joy, I think you know my answer, why are you asking this question?”

“Why don’t you tell her then?”

“And ruin her relationship with Asanai? I can’t do that to her. It was my fault in the first place that I broke up with her. Asanai is a good man, if she loves him then I’m not going ruin that…”

“But Asanai and Parichat are cousins!”

Ome was shocked, “What did you just say?”

“Asanai and Chat aren’t lovers. Asanai told me that they are just cousins. But if you ask me why did Chat pretended that they are lovers, she was trying to make you jealous since she thought we were together.”

“We’re not together. I never told her that..”

“I guess she assume we were together…now that you have nothing to hold you back, why don’t you go tell her?”

Ome hesitated, “I think I’ll wait…….”

“Wait for what? A guy to hit on her?”

“No stupid. She’s going through a lot right now. I want to tell her when the right time comes….”

Joy nodded, “Ohhhh….got it….”

-----------------------

Nawin took Araya home. He tried talking to her but she was still not talking to him. At dinner, he cooked her favorite food, hoping she’ll forgive him and finally talk to him again, still she said nothing but ate the food and went upstairs.

Win came in the bedroom and sat on his couch/bed he sleeps on at night, “Okay, I know you’re still mad at me that’s why you’re giving me the silent treatment but I just wanna say I’m sorry okay? Just say something to me. I don’t like it when you stay quiet like this.”

“I forgive you” Araya said softly.

“What?”

“I said I forgive you!” Araya said louder. “Did you hear that?”

“Are you serious or you’re playing around?”

“You know I don’t like playing around…….I..….I stopped being mad at you since you cooked dinner for me. I have to admit that was a good impression right there since you never cook for anybody……..”

Nawin got happy and went to sit next to Araya on the bed, “Really? You’re not mad at me anymore?”

Araya nodded, “But it better not happen again anymore or you’re out the door!”

Nawin took Araya’s hand and placed it on his heart, “I promise I won’t disappoint you again….from now on I will be a better person, a good father and a food husband….”

Araya gazed at his eyes and knew he really meant it. She then looked at her hands and realized Nawin was holding it, she slowly pulled it away from his hand, “I better go shower and go to sleep. It’s getting late…”

Nawin nodded, “Okay…”

------------------------------

Parichat sat in her room, feeling depress. She didn’t feel like doing anything, even work. Ome walked in her room and saw her sitting there, staring at the blank wall.

“Just because you’re the owner of the hotel, it doesn’t mean you can come into my room without knocking” Chat said, still staring at the wall.

“I did knock. But I guess you didn’t hear me, I got worried so I just came in. Why aren’t you working today?”

“Because I don’t want to. You could fire me if you want, I don’t care anymore.”

Ome smiled, “That’s what I came to do……”

Chat looked at Ome, “You’re really firing me?”

He nodded, “Yup. And I’m not gonna let you stay in this hotel anymore….”

“Then where am I gonna stay? I have no other place to go….”

“Why don’t you pack up your stuff and you’ll find out……”

---------------------------

“Why did you bring me to your apartment?” Chat asked after they got inside.

“You can stay here for now.”

“Stay here? With you?”

Ome nodded, “Yeah. It’s only temporarily.”

“But I’m a girl, you’re a guy. People will say something, you know how the customs work in this country.”

Ome was stunned by her comments. Before, he was the one that was worried people might say something when Chat wanted to spend the night at his apartment when she would get into fights with Pakorn back at home.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” she asked.

“I’m just a little shock. Before you didn’t even care what people thought about us living together.”

“Well, I guess I changed. And besides, we were dating at the time….I guess it made it a little okay. But we’re not dating now so…..”

Ome nodded, “You’re right. I’m sorry….come on…”

“Where are we going?”

“Go house hunting.”

“But I thought I was gonna stay here?”

“I thought you didn’t want to?”

Chat shook her head, “I never said that. I just asked if it was a good idea or not?”

“But people might gossip?”

“Let them gossip.”

“So you want to stay here?”

“Do you want me to?”

Ome smiled, “Of course. That’s why I took you here….”

Chat nodded, “Then I guess I’ll stay.”

Ome looked at his watch, “Well make yourself at home. I have to go to a meeting. I’ll check on you later…”

“Okay….”​

I can't believe Nawin would do that, she almost lost her baby. I'm happy that he's changing, hopefully he's really telling the truth.
Awwww Ome knows that Chat and Asanai are cousins, so cute that he told her that she can stay with him <3

Chapter 22

Asanai came over to Joy’s condo to talk about their latest plan. He wasn’t sure if it worked or not. She rushed to the door as soon as it rang, “Hey Asanai, come on in…”

Asanai walked in and looked around the room, “Nice place you have here…”

“Thanks. Want anything to drink?”

Asanai shook his head, “Oh no, I’m fine. Thank you.”

Joy sat down on the couch, “So what brings you here?”

“Oh, I wanted to talk to you about our plan earlier. Did it work?”

Joy nodded, “It should, I mean Ome now knows you and Parichat are cousins.”

“You think he’ll tell her how he feels?”

“Yeah…when? I have no idea. But I have a feeling we’ll be hearing some good news soon.”

Asanai smiled, “I can’t believe my plan of asking Chat to move to L.A. works. And Ome came right on time to see the hugging part too.”

Joy laughed, “Yeah but I think he heard the part where you guys were talking about moving to L.A. too.”

“I think I have a pretty good feeling Chat won’t be moving to L.A. with me though.”

“When are you leaving by the way?”

“What? You want me gone already?”

“No…..just curious…..”

“In about a month…..”

Joy nodded, “So, what are you up to today?”

“I…uh…I wanted to see if you want to go out?”

Joy tried her hardest not to blush, “Asanai, are you trying to ask me on a date?”

He blushed, “I guess I am. So are you up for it?”

Joy smiled, “Just give me ten minutes to get dress….”

Asanai nodded.

---------------------------------

Araya woke up the next morning and found Nawin packing up his clothes in his luggage, “Where are you going?” she asked

“Out of town.”

“You’re going out of town? So you’re gonna leave me here pregnant alone? Way to go father of the year!”

Nawin laughed, “Who said I’m going alone. I’m taking you with me. I already pack all your clothes.”

“Where exactly are you taking me?”

“We’ve been married for awhile, I realized we haven’t gone on our honeymoon yet so I’m taking you on a honeymoon.”

“Honeymoon to where?”

“I have a private beach near Phuket. We can go there for about a week.”

Araya pouted, “Aw, I was hoping we go to Europe or something.”

“Hey, I would take you but I don’t want you to be far away from your grandmother. So go get ready and we’ll get going.”

Araya nodded and went upstairs to change.

-------------------------

Chat woke up and saw Ome cooking breakfast in the kitchen. She decided to go help him out.

“Need any help?” she asked.

Ome laughed, “Since when did you cook?”

“What are you trying to say Ome, that I can’t cook.”

“Hey, I’m just saying that last time you stepped into the kitchen, you almost burnt the place so I think it’s best if I do all the cooking. And besides, I’m almost done.”

Parichat sat there and watched as Ome cooked for her. It brought back memories when they used to date. He would teach her recipes and she would always forget them.

“Chat…you alright?” Ome asked, waving to get her attention.

“Huh, you say something?”

“Yeah, I said food is ready. Are you okay?”

Chat nodded, “Yeah….I’m fine.”

As they were eating, Parichat kept to herself. All she did was ate and Ome started to get worried.

“The food isn’t good or what? You seem awfully quiet.”

Chat shook her head, “No, it’s good….hey can I ask you something?”

“Sure…..”

“You think Joy’s okay with me living here with you?”

“Why wouldn’t she be okay?”

“Uh hello, she’s your girlfriend….”

“Chat, Joy’s not my girlfriend. Who said she was my girlfriend?”

“You did!”

“I never said anything like that. Why would you think she’s my girlfriend?”

“Because…..never mind.”

“Okay, let me ask you something……why did you lie to me that Asanai is your cousin when he is really your cousin?”

Chat choked on her juice, “What?”

“I know that Asanai isn’t your boyfriend.”

“How do you know?”

“Joy told me.”

“How does Joy know?”

“Asanai told her.”

“Damn you Asanai” Cha mumbled.

“So, why did you lie to me?”

Parichat laid down her fork and spoon and walked out to the balcony. Ome followed, “So are you gonna tell me or not?”

“Because….you made me think you and Joy were boyfriend and girlfriend so I pretended to be Asanai’s girlfriend.”

Ome smiled, “So you did it out of jealousy?”

“Jealous? I’m not jealous of you!”

“Admit it Chat, you still have feelings for me.”

Chat was speechless, “…why don’t you admit you still have feelings for me too then?”

“I have feelings for you?”

Chat nodded, “Yeah or else you wouldn’t have threaten Asanai that if he ever hurt me, you would hurt him…”

“That doesn’t mean anything…”

“Yes it does.” Chat teased, “Admit it Ome, you still love me…”

“Why don’t you admit it first that you still love me?”

“No you!”

“You admit it first.”

“No you!”

At that very moment, Ome pulled Chat closely to him and placed his lips softly on hers. Everything just happened so fast, Chat couldn’t even think straight but she felt herself kissing him back. Ome slowly pulled his lips away, “Does that say anything?” he whispered.

Chat blushed and nodded shyly……..​

I just love Chat & Ome. I just love their storyline. Now I seriously want Pancake & Grate to do a lakorn together (although that's not possible as of right now because they are on two different channels)
Awww, I hope Win can romance Araya.

Chapter 23

Nawin and Araya arrived at the dock the same time Ome and Parichat arrived. Both couples were surprise to see one another, “What are you guys doing here?” Nawin asked. “Hand in hand too?”

Ome and Parichat smiled at each other, “We’re going on a trip to the island.” Ome replied. “Where are you guys going?”

“To the island as well. It’s for our honeymoon.”

“You guys are barely going on your honeymoon?” asked Parichat.

“Yeah” Nawin answered. “Is there a problem?”

Parichat shook her head, “Not at all. The real problem is, will we interfere with your time alone?”

As much as Nawin wanted some time alone with Araya, it was up to her and whatever she decided, he will be okay with it, “What do you think?” Nawin asked Araya.

Araya looked at Nawin then at Ome and Parichat, “Are you guys back together?”

Ome nodded, “Yeah. We thought we go away for awhile but if we’re going to interfere in your honeymoon then--”

“It’s fine.” Araya cut him off, “You guys can come along. The more the merrier.”

“You sure?” Parichat asked.

Araya nodded, “Yeah. Just pretend we’re not there with you guys. And we’ll do the same.”

Ome shrugged, “If you say so.”

When their private boat came, the four got on and enjoyed the pretty view while heading to the island. Nawin was taking extra care of Araya during the boat ride since she kept on vomiting from being sea sick. When they arrived at the island, the two couples went their separate way into the room at the resort.

That evening, Nawin joined Araya out by the beach. She was sitting there hugging herself, watching the sun go down. He sat down, putting a thin blanket over her, “Thanks” she said.

“Why aren’t you wearing a sweater. You might catch a cold and that’s not gonna be good for your or the baby.”

Araya shrugged, “I didn’t know it was gonna be chilly when the sun went down.”

“How are you by the way?”

She smiled, “Good. It’s nice to come here and relax.”

“Sorry it kinda got ruined.”

Araya look confused, “What do you mean?”

“Well, I was hoping we have some alone time together but Ome and Chat are here. They’re like the third and fourth wheel.”

Araya laughed, “They’re really not bothering us. I’m pretty sure they want their own privacy anyways.”

Nawin looked around, “Speaking of the two, where are they?”

“I have no idea but It’s a good thing Chat’s not around or else she’ll be asking me so many questions and I really don’t want to answer her.”

“What would she ask you?”

“You know, us. Why am I honeymooning with you, stuff like that….”

Both went quiet for a moment. Nawin thought this was a good time to come clean, “Araya…” he started.

“Yeah?”

“I have something to tell you….”

“What?”

“I’m sorry for what happened between us.”

“Win, a lot of things had happened between us. Which one are you talking about?”

“I’m talking about when we were going out. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings at that time.”

Araya shook her head, “You don’t have to apologize. You were who you were. I should have known better than to go out with a player like you.”

“I’m sorry….” Win apologized again.

Araya shrugged, “It’s alright.”

“There is one more question I want to ask….”

Araya sighed, “What now?”

“I know you had some sort of feelings when we were going out but do you still have any feelings left now?”

Araya went quiet for a moment. Nawin was waiting patiently for her to answer but instead she got up and walked away. Nawin got up and followed, “You’re not saying anything so I take it as a yes?”

Araya stopped to look at Win who was smiling, “What makes you think I still have any feelings for you.”

Nawin smiled, “Look me in the eye and say that you don’t love me anymore.”

Araya stared into his eyes, “I…….I don’t have to do what you tell me to do!”

Nawin laughed, “See, you still love me…admit it.”

“No! I’m not going to admit to anything!”

Nawin sighed, “Fine….I won’t force you then….”

“Let me ask you something then.”

“Go ahead….”

“Since you’ve been with so many girls, have you ever love any of them sincerely?”

Nawin thought for a moment, “Yes……”

“Who?”

Nawin smiled, “I’m staring right at her…..”

Araya blushed a little but kept quiet. Nawin slowly grabbed her hand, “Believe it or not, you’re the only girl I really felt safe with. I was really happy when I was with you but I let my Casanova ways get to me.”

“Have you ever thought of stopping your Casanova behavior?”

“I did…”

Araya smirked, “Yeah right. You were enjoying the part when that hoochie gave you the lap dance…”

“Are you jealous?” he teased.

“What wife wouldn’t be jealous?”

Nawin laughed, “So you admit. You are jealous.”

Araya pushed Win away and turned her back on him, “I didn’t say that….”

He took a step forward and hugged her from the back, “Why can’t you admit one truth to me?”

“Who give you the right to do this?”

“I’m your husband. Of course I have the right to hug you.”

“But I didn’t give you permission….”

“You’re my wife. I don’t need permission from you…and besides, it’s our honeymoon. Be romantic for once…please….”

“Oh alright….consider yourself lucky then….”

--------------------------

“This isn’t fun Ome…”Chat whined as she sat on the ground pouting.

“Of course. You’re sitting there looking at me making fire. Have you ever consider to help me?”

“I don’t know how to make fire. You know that. And I thought this was suppose to be a romantic trip for us. What are we doing out here in the woods like this?!”

“Win and Araya are on their honeymoon. The island is a private island. Let them have their privacy.”

“So you thought by letting them have their privacy, we can stay out here in the woods?”

Ome laughed, “It’ll be fun. Later we can count the stars together.”

Parichat crossed her arms, “But I want to stay in a hotel room where there’s air conditioning and no mosquitoes…..”

“Mosquitoes aren’t really going to bite you. I have a tent in my bag. We can sleep in there.”

“A tent?”

Ome shrugged, “Hey it’s either you sleep in there or sleep outside…..now come help me with this fire.”

Chat sighed, “What do you want me to do?”

“Watch the fire while I go get more woods.”

“You’re gonna leave me here?”

“Unless you want to go into the woods and get it?”

Parichat quickly shook her head.

“Stay here then. I’ll be right back.”

“Be careful.”

Parichat had a wooden stick next to her just in case anything comes up. Minutes have passed and Ome still hasn’t come back. Chat was beginning to get worried. She debated whether she should go find him or stay there. She decided to go find him and took the stick with her.

“Ome…..where are you?” she shouted out as she went deeper into the woods. “If you’re playing around, you better stop!”

As she walked, there was no sign of Ome anywhere, “If you don’t come out, I’ll hate you forever!” she threatened.

Parichat felt a tap on her shoulder. Chat quickly turned around and hit the man. Ome fell quickly to the ground.

“Ow!” he shouted, rubbing his head.

Chat covered her mouth, “Oops!”

She dropped the stick and helped him up, “Sorry…” she apologized.

“Where did you get that strength from?”

“I thought you were a bad guy. And that’s what you get for not warning me first.”

“What are you doing here? You were suppose to watch the fire.”

“I got worried so I came looking for you.”

Ome smiled, “I told you I’ll be back.”

When they got back to the place, Parichat had clean up the blood from Ome’s forehead, “How bad does it hurt?”

“Just a little….”

“Sorry….”

“It’s okay…..but I know how you can make it up to me…”

“How?”

Ome smiled and pointed to his cheeks, “One shot…”

Chat didn’t hesitate and gave him a peck on the cheek, “Feeling better?”

Ome nodded, “Much better.”​

Chapter 24

After having to whine and complain about how hot the weather was, Ome decided to take Parichat back to the resort the next day. They joined Nawin and Araya out by the pool. Ome and Nawin were swimming in the pool, while the girls went to grab something to eat.

“Where did you guys go anyways?” Araya asked. “You guys just disappeared.”

Chat sighed and rolled her eyes, “It’s all Ome’s fault. He took me camping out in the woods. He thought it was romantic.”

Araya laughed, “Was it?”

“When we laid down and counted the stars and talked about old times. Other than that, it was torture for me!”

“So how did you guys get back together? What happened to that Joy girl?”

“They’re just friends. They were friends the whole time. I assumed everything and I was wrong.”

“So what actually did happen?”

Parichat blushed a little, “Nothing….so what’s up with you and Win? I don’t see you guys arguing anymore.”

“It’s for the baby’s sake.”

“Sure it is……any of those good feelings coming back yet?”

Araya nudged Chat on the shoulder, “No! Like I said, we’re only being good to each other is because of the baby, that’s all.”

“What if he wants to get back with you? What would you say to him?”

Araya hesitated, “Nothing because you know why? Because Win is a player, he’ll always be a player. When the tim comes, we’ll get a divorce and we can go on with our separate lives.”

Chat nodded, “Ahuh, so when the baby is born, who’s gonna raise it?”

“I’ll raise my baby but Win can come see the baby whenever he feels like it.”

When the girls got back to the pool, they saw Ome and Win putting sunscreen of two girls they don’t even know. Chat wasn’t too happy to see Ome touching another girl’s body. She wanted to walk over there and slap the girl but she remembered the last time she did that, Ome broke up with her. She wasn’t going to let that happen again. She took a deep breath and tried to stay calm but Araya on the other hand walked ahead of her and Chat knew something bad was going to happen, “Araya, wait for me…..”

“Win, what the hell are you doing?!” Araya yelled, pulling the girl away from Win.

Both Win and Ome stood up, “Araya, let me explain” Win pleaded.

“Um, who are you?” the girl asked looking at Araya.

Araya turned to look at the girl, “I’m his wife. Who the hell are you?!”

“Whoa, I didn’t know he’s married. Sorry about that.”

After the two girls left, Chat was waiting for Ome to explain himself. Araya had already left and Nawin followed her.

“Chat, I can explain…” he started.

Chat crossed her arms, “I’m waiting….”

“Win and I were just swimming and those two girls came and asked if we can put sunscreen lotion on their backs…”

“Oh so when two hot girls come and ask you to put sunscreen on them, you jump right ahead and do it huh?”

“It’s not like I wanted to do it…..”

“Then how come you didn’t say no?”

“I didn’t want to be mean. You have to believe me, I didn’t want to do it.”

“But you did it anyways.”

“I know and I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. Do you believe me?”

“Yeah, I believe you.”

Ome was surprise, “That quick?”

Chat nodded, “Yeah…..why, what’s wrong? Aren’t you happy about it?”

“Yeah but at first I thought when you saw us, I thought you were going to go all crazy on me like you did before but I guess Araya the one going all crazy.”

Chat shrugged, “You told me to be reasonable and I’m being reasonable.”

Ome put his arms around Chat’s waist and pulled her closer, “You know, I’m so proud of you…”

“Can I ask you something?”

“Sure…”

“Do you think those girls were hot?”

“Chat, why are you even asking me that question?”

“Just tell me. Do you think they’re hot?”

“You want me to tell the truth?”

Chat nodded, “Of course.”

Ome sighed, “Fine. Yes I think they are some hot girls but if I were to compare them to you, they couldn’t stand a chance.”

“Are you saying that just to not make me mad?”

Ome smiled and leaned in to kiss Chat on the cheeks, “No I’m saying it because it’s the truth. Chat, I love you okay?”

Chat put her arms around Ome’s neck, “I love you too…..”

-------------------------

“Araya, wait! It’s not what it looks like.”

Araya turned to face him, “Really? Please tell me the guy I just saw putting sunscreen on another woman’s body wasn’t you!”

“Look, I did but only because I was being considerate.”

“Considerate of your wife or your hormones?”

“They asked if me and Ome can put it on for them. What did you wanted me to say?”

“Uh, how ‘bout no?! My wife wouldn’t like it.”

“Look, it wasn’t my intention. Why are you going all crazy about it? Should Parichat be doing that, not you?”

“If I didn’t come and see you like that, would you have told me later on?”

“Yes.”

“Liar!”

“Araya, I’m not lying. Why can’t you believe me?”

“Because it’s hard to believe a guy like you.”

“Look, to make it even, you can go put sunscreen on a hot guy if you want.”

“Seriously? I can do that?”

“No. I was just lying. I’m not gonna let my own wife touch another guy’s body especially if that guy is more good looking than me.”

“And why’s that?”

“Because…..I’ll get jealous…..”

“Why would you get jealous of me?”

“Because I….I…you’re my wife…..”

Araya was disappointed, “That’s it? Because I’m just your wife….”

“What about you? The reaction I’m getting from you is jealousy too. Why were you jealous?”

“I…..I don’t know why…..”

Nawin took a step forward, “But I think I know the reason…”

“And that is?”

Nawin slowly caressed Araya’s cheek, “It’s because you love me……am I right?”

“You don’t know that” Araya said softly.

“I think I know you Araya. You always speak the opposite of what you’re really feeling.”

“That’s not true…..”

“Fine, you don’t have to admit that but could you at least tell me what you’re feeling right now?”

“I thought you know me?”

“Maybe it’s best to hear it from you……”

“Fine, I’ll say it if you say it……what are you feeling right now?”

“I….I….”

“Win! Araya! There you guys are.” Chat exclaimed. “We’re gonna go eat, wanna come?”

Araya nodded, “Yeah, I think that’s a great idea.”

Araya and Chat walked ahead.

“You alright? Ome asked.

Win nodded, “Yeah, but did you guys have to come right now?”

“Did we interrupt something?”

“Duh!”

Ome laughed, “My bad. Look, there’s plenty of time to tell her you love her.”

“How’d you know?”

Ome smirked, “Cuz I’m a genius. Come on, let’s catch up with the girls.”​

As the four of them were eating, a man in a suit recognized Nawin and decided to go over and talk to him. As soon as Win saw the man, he quickly stood up and greeted him, “Hey uncle Nikorn. What are you doing here?”

“Oh you know, just business stuff. What are you doing here?”

Win smiled, “I’m actually here on a honeymoon.”

Nikorn was surprise, “Honeymoon? Are you serious? So your playboy days are over huh?” Nikorn looked at the other three, “So who’s the lucky lady or lucky guy?”

Ome quickly shook his head, “Definitely not me sir.”

Win laughed, “I’m not gay uncle.”

“Oh…...well that’s good news….so I’m guessing one of these lovely ladies is your wife unless you married both.”

“No…..this is my wife” he said pointing to Araya. “Her name is Araya.”

“Hello” Araya greeted. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“You too…..so who are these two?” he asked motioning towards Ome and Parichat.

“Oh, this is Ome, my friend, and that’s his girlfriend Parichat.”

“Hi…” they greeted.

“Parichat…….” Nikorn gazed at Parichat at how beautiful and lovely she is. Ome noticed and he wasn’t liking it,

“So uncle, why don’t you join us if you’re not in a hurry to leave?”

“Will that be a good idea? I mean I don’t want to interrupt your lunch date….”

Araya shook her head, “It’s fine. You’re not interrupting. Take a seat.”

As he sat down, Nikorn continues to look at Parichat when she isn’t looking. Ome wasn’t pleased with it and nudged Nawin, “Hey, can we talk in private for a minute?”

Win nodded and followed Ome away from the table. Parichat sat there wondering what the guys went to talk about.

“Excuse me for asking but Parichat, you look familiar….” said Nikorn.

“Oh…uh…..you probably seen me in the tabloids a lot…”

Araya smirked, “She’s a trouble maker….”

“That’s not true…” said Nikorn. “A pretty girl like you wouldn’t be a trouble maker….”

Chat nodded, “Yeah….I was……but only because I just wanted to get back at my dad….”

“You don’t get a long with your dad?”

As Nikorn was asking all these questions, Araya was starting to get suspicious.

“It’s complicated between us” Chat answered. “I’m actually not his real daughter……”

“Oh…..I’m sorry to hear that…..”

“It’s okay…..”

Nikorn noticed Parichat was looking sad so he didn’t want to bother her anymore so he changed the subject over to Araya. But as Araya was telling her story about her and Win, she couldn’t help but notice Nikorn kept looking over at Parichat.

-----------------------------

“What did you wanted to talk about?” asked Win.

“Is your uncle married?”

“What?”

“Is he married?”

“No….why would you ask that…..ugh dude, are you crushing on my uncle?! I’m gonna tell Chat!”

Ome slapped Win behind his head, “No you idiot! The reason why I asked is because he kept looking at Chat in a weird way and I don’t like that.”

“Are you trying to say that my uncle has a thing for Chat? That is ridiculous. She’s too young for him. He’s old enough to be her dad.”

“You don’t know that! There’s men out there that gets with women twenty years younger than them. And if you don’t believe me, when we go back to the table, you’ll see for yourself.”

“Dang, so you’re serious about this?”

Ome nodded, “Yeah dude….”

Win sighed, “Fine, I’ll see for myself but I think you’re just thinking too much.”

When the guys got back to the table, they only saw Araya and Parichat there. Nikorn was no where to be found.

“Where did my uncle go?” Win asked, sitting down.

“He left” Araya answered.

Chat looked at Ome, “Where did you guys go?”

Ome didn’t know how to answer Chat so he turn to look at Win, “Ome was just worried about you Chat” Win replied.

“Me? What about?”

“He thinks uncle Nikorn has a thing for you since he saw him looking at you the whole time.”

Araya snapped her fingers, “Oh my gosh, you notice that too Ome. Me too!”

“See, even Araya notice.”

Win looked at Araya, “Notice what? How come I didn’t see anything. Chat, did you notice uncle Nikorn was looking at you?”

Chat shook her head, “No. Why would I even stare at him like that? He’ll think I’m weird or something.”

“See me and Chat didn’t notice, but you two did?”

Araya shrugged, “I guess we’re more observant than you guys. When you guys were gone, he kept asking Chat questions and when he was talking to me, he kept looking at her.”

“Really?” Chat asked. “I was there listening. How come I never notice that?”

“Maybe because you were busy texting on your phone while your ears were just listening.”

“Huh, maybe…..but he probably wanted to look at me because I’m a pretty girl.”

“But I don’t like it” Ome pouted. “I should be the only guy that should look at you like that.”

Chat smiled, “Aw, you’re jealous of me….ha…you’re cute when you’re jealous….”

Ome shrugged, “Maybe I’m a little jealous…….”

Win sighed, “So jealous of these two people who are in love here….wish we can be like that” he motion towards Araya, who pretended not to hear. “Why can’t we be like them Araya?”

“Uh…. because you don’t love me and I don’t love you….”

“How are you going to know my feelings more than I do?”

“Because I know the kind of play boy you are. You don’t love anyone but yourself. Isn’t it because of you that wanted your will so bad that you were willing to convince my grandma for us to get married?!”

Ome and Chat stayed quiet as they listened to the argument.

“True…but things have changed now Araya…..”

“What changed? Your heart? Your feelings?”

“Yes! At first when I was getting into this marriage, all I thought about was the will but when I found out you were pregnant and when the incident at the house when you almost lost the baby made me realize how much I care for you…….“ Win slowly took her hand, “Araya……I know this isn’t the right place to tell you but I just want to tell you that I want to start over. I want you to give me another chance…….I love you…I always did but I guess I was in denial and I didn‘t want my feelings for you to ruin my reputation as a player...”

Araya slowly pulled her hands away, “Why are you telling me this? I don’t want to hear those words from you!”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t believe you! You’re not going to be sincere with those words. Today you might tell me you love me, tomorrow you might change your mind.”

“No I won’t!”

“You don’t know that! You’re not a psychic!”

“Maybe not but I know what I’m feeling and what I’m thinking. You have to trust me”

Araya shook her head, “Sorry….but I don’t…”

Araya grabbed her purse and walked away. Win wanted to follow but Ome and Chat stopped him.

“Why don’t she believe me?” Win asked the two.

“Because you’re a player ad will always be a player.” answered Chat bluntly.

“But I’ve changed……..”

“You can’t just tell her, you have to show her you love her too….”

“How?”

Ome shrugged, “I don’t know. That, you’re gonna have to think about it.”

Win sighed, “Maybe she doesn’t love me. She hates me.”

Chat shook her head, “She doesn’t hate you. I know when Araya hates someone. I think she loves you too but she’s just scared to open her heart to you again after what you did to her years ago.”

“Help!” a voice called out, not too far from the restaurant.

“That sounds like Araya” said Win standing up.

“Let’s go see” suggested Ome.

When they followed the voice, they found Araya laying down on the ground crying and holding her stomach. Win ran quickly over to pick her up, “Araya, what happened?”

“A thief stole my purse. I tried fighting back but he slapped me and pushed me down…..my stomach is hurting really bad right now….”

Chat was in shock when she saw blood running down Araya’s leg, “Oh my god, Win, she’s bleeding! You need to take her to the nearest hospital!”

Win carried Araya and all of them rushed her to the nearest hospital.​

Chapter 26

Win, Ome, and Parichat were waiting outside the emergency room as doctors and nurses walk in and out of the room. Ome and Parichat tried to stay calm but Win wasn’t. He was worried about Araya and the baby that he kept standing up and sitting down, “What’s taking them so long?” he asked impatiently.

“Win, calm down. Araya and the baby will be fine.” Chat assured him.

“It’s my fault.” said Ome. “If I didn’t stop you from going after her, none of this would had happen.”

Win shook his head, “It’s not your fault.”

The doctor walked out, “Are you khun Araya’s husband?”

Win nodded, “Yes. How is she doctor?”

“She’s okay but I have put her to sleep. It’ll be awhile before she wakes up.”

“That’s good then but what about the baby?”

The doctor hesitated before answering, “I’m sorry to tell you but she had a miscarriage…..I’m sorry.”

After the doctor left, Win went to sit down on a chair and was in shock for a while, “How am I going to tell this to Araya?”

“Sorry man…..” said Ome.

Win sighed, “I gotta go call her grandmother and my grandmother and tell them what happened.”

After Win left, Chat’s phone went off and it was Waan, her servant calling, “Hello?”

“Oh khun noo, finally you turned on your phone!”

“Sorry. Did you needed something?”

“It’s your father, well, khun Pakorn actually. He’s in the hospital right now.”

Chat stood up from the seat, “What? Is he okay? What happened?”

“You were right the whole time. Rada only married him because of his money. He found out she was stealing money from him and giving it to her new boyfriend. She packed up her things and left, and after that your father just collapsed.”

“Waan, I’m too far from the city right now. Look, just stay there and watch him for awhile. I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

“Chat, what happened?” Ome asked after she hung up.

“It’s dad. Rada walked out on him and now he’s in the hospital.”

“Is he okay?”

Chat shook her head, “I’m not sure but I have to get back as soon as possible.”

“What’s going on?” Win asked when he got back.

“It’s my dad. He’s in the hospital too.”

“What happened? Is he okay?”

“I don’t know but I have to get back.”

Win nodded, “Okay. Tell me how he’s doing when you get there then.”

Chat nodded, “Sure. Call me when Araya wakes up.”

Ome took Chat’s hand, “I’ll drop you off.”

----------------------------

Araya finally woke up and found Nawin sitting there looking at her, “Araya, you’re awake.”

“Am I dead?” she asked softly.

Win shook his head and grabbed her hands, “No, you’re alive.”

Araya looked around the room, “How did I get here?”

“I took you here. You were bleeding from the beach after a thief pushed you, remember?”

“Bleeding?….Win, the baby. How’s the baby?”

Win went quiet. He didn’t know how to tell her, “Win….didn’t you hear me, how’s the baby?”

“Uh…….I think you should rest first and I’ll tell you later when you’re all rested okay?”

“No!” she protested. “I want to know, is my baby okay? If you don’t tell me, I’m going to walk out here and go ask someone that will tell me.”

“Okay…fine…I’ll tell…but promise me you’ll stay calm.”

“Okay, now you’re just scaring me……what’s going on Win?”

“You….we…..we lost the baby. You had a miscarriage. You lost too many blood on the way over here and when you fell, you fell hard……”

Tears rand down Araya’s cheeks, “You’re lying. This isn’t funny Win.”

Tears were also forming in Win’s eyes as well, “I’m sorry……it’s the truth….”

Araya started crying and all Win could do was put his arms around her and hold her tight as she cries, “I’m so sorry….it’s my fault……”

------------------------------------

Parichat and Ome arrived at the hospital where her dad was staying at. They found Waan sitting outside the room, “Waan, how’s dad doing?”

“Khun noo, you came. He’s doing okay now.”

“When did this happen?”

“Two days ago. I tried calling you but you turned off your phone.”

“I’m gonna go in and see him.”

Chat walked in with Ome and saw her dad laying there watching TV, “Chat, how’d you know I was here?”

“Waan called me. How are you doing?”

“Well, I’m not going to die if you were hoping for that.”

“Why would you say something like that?”

“Because I’ve done nothing but treat you all wrong. And besides, we’re not blood related either.”

“Dad, even if we’re not blood related, I still care for you. You’ll always be my dad.”

Pakorn smiled a little, “I’m happy you feel that way. It’s a good thing you came, I want to apologize for everything. Rada showed me her true colors. Will you forgive me?”

“Hmmm…..only if you promise you’ll open up my account and my credit cards….”

Pakorn laughed, “Oh I forgot I closed up all your account. I’m surprise you survive it all.”

“Well, it was hard at first…” Chat motioned towards Ome, “but I had someone that was kind enough to offer me a job.”

Pakorn was surprised, “You? Working? I don’t believe that.”

“It’s true dad. You could even ask Ome, he’s the one that hired me.”

Pakorn looked at Ome, “Is it true?”

Ome nodded, “Yes sir. She worked as a custodian.”

“Really? I’m even more shocked. I thought she would have worked as a secretary.”

Ome shook his head, “Oh no. I wouldn’t dare to let her jeopardize my hotel like that.”

Chat elbowed Ome, “Jerk…..”

“I’m kidding.”

Pakorn smiled, “I see you two getting along. Are you two back together?”

Chat nodded, “Yeah, we are……”

“That’s good…now I don’t have to worry about who’s going to take care of you when I’m gone.”

Chat grabbed her father’s hand, “Dad, don’t say that. You’re going to be with me for a very long time.”

Pakorn smiled and looked at Ome, “Ome if you don’t mind, I’d like to talk to Chat in private.”

“Sure. I have to get back to work anyways. Chat, I’ll call you later okay?”

Chat nodded, “Okay.”

“So when did you guys get back together?” Pakorn asked after Ome left.

“For awhile now.”

“Be careful Chat. This guy once broke your heart.”

“I know but you know why he broke up with me in the first palce.”

“Ome’s a good person, don’t take me wrong but I just want to be careful about this relationship this time around. I don‘t want to see you get hurt”

“It’s okay dad. I’ll be fine……”

“So what I really wanted to talk to you is about your dad, your real dad. I think it’s time for me to tell you.”

“I don’t think I wanna know though.”

“But you should……he used to work with me before you were even born. We were business partners until I found out he had some kind of relationship with your mother. We stopped our business and our friendship and that was the last time I heard of him.”

“What’s his name?”

“Nikorn.”

Chat froze when she heard the name. She just met a man by that name and he’s Win’s uncle, “Nikorn? You sure?”

Pakorn nodded, “Yeah. Why do you sound like you know him?”

“Because I was just on a trip with Ome and we met Win’s uncle who’s uncle’s name is also Nikorn.”

“Win? You mean Nawin, Naree’s grandson?”

Chat nodded slowly, “Yeah, that one.”

“Chat, I think you just met your father……”

“No wonder he was looking at me all weird. Does he know about me being his daughter?”

“He does. But when he left you and your mom, he thought it would be the best for the both of you.”

“He knew who I was but didn’t even have the courage to say anything.”

“He was probably scared.”

“What do I do now?”

“I think you should go talk to him. Get to know each other a little bit.”

“What if he doesn’t want to know me?”

Pakorn touched Chat’s face, “Sweetie, every father wants to be with their daughter. Trust me.”

Chat hugged her father, “Thanks dad.”​

Chapter 27

After visiting her dad, Parichat walked out the room to call Win about what her dad had told her. He picked up on the first ring, “Hello?”

“Hey Win, how’s Araya?”

“She’s awake now. She’s talking to her grandmother and mines.”

“That’s good.”

“So how’s your dad?”

“He’s doing fine now. Doctor said he can go home in a few days.”

“That’s good to hear.”

“So Win, I have something to talk to you about.”

“What is it?”

“It’s best if I talk to you in person. I’ll meet you there at the hospital.”

“Okay then.”

----------------------------------

Ome got to his hotel and found Joy sitting in his chair in his office, “Well, well, look who came back to work” she teased.

Ome smiled, “Boss is here. You can get out of my seat now.”

Joy stood up, “So how was the trip with Parichat?”

“Eh, it was good.”

“Just good? Not great? Awesome?”

“We encountered some problems when we were over there.”

“What problems?”

“Araya had a miscarriage. Win’s over there watching over her.”

“Oh my gosh, what happened?”

“Some thief wanted her purse and Araya was fighting back and he end up pushing her to the ground.”

“Oh my god, is she okay?”

“Physically yes, mentally, I’m not so sure about that. She doesn’t know that she lost the baby yet.”

“That’s sad…..maybe when I have time, I’ll go visit her.”

“So what have you been up to? What are you doing here by the way?”

“Well my mom wanted me to come tell you that our family is having dinner tonight. They want both of us to come and they said they wanted to talk about something important.”

Ome thought for a moment, “I think I know what they want to talk with us about…..”

Joy nodded, “Me too…they probably going to talk about our engagement.”

Ome sighed, “Why can’t they understand that we can’t be more than just friends. I don’t see you in that way and you don’t see me in that way.”

“Parents are parents I guess. Does your mom know that you got back with Parichat?”

Ome shook his head, “Nope. I don’t even know how to tell her either. When she found out we broke up, she was jumping up and down.”

“Well she won’t be jumping up and down when you tell her you’re back with her again.”

-------------------------

Win met up with Parichat downstairs from the hospital to talk about Nikorn, “So what did you wanted to talk to me about.”

“It’s about your uncle….do you know if he have any…family?”

“Family as in wife and children?”

Chat nodded, “Something like that. Does he?”

“Not that I know of. Uncle Nikorn, I’m really not that close with him. He moved out of the house before I was even born. All I know is that he has his own business and he travels a lot. Why do you ask?”

“Remember when we were all eating breakfast and Ome and Araya noticed that your uncle was looking at me all weird?”

Win nodded, “Yeah…..”

“Well, I think the reason why he was looking at me like that is because ……I’m his daughter.”

“Daughter? What, I don’t get it…”

“My dad told me my real dad’s name is Nikorn.”

“So you think my uncle is your birth father?”

“I believe so. He even told me that he’s the son of your grandmother’s.”

“How come I never knew about this? My grandmother never mention anything like this to me.”

“Maybe because he never told anyone about it.”

“So what are you going to do now?”

“Do you have some kind of address to his place?”

“You want to go talk to him?”

“Yeah…so do you?”

Win shook his head, “Sorry Chat but the last time I saw him was when we were at the island. Like I said before, he travels a lot.”

“Well do you have his phone number or something?”

“Nope…but I think I know who do.”

“Your grandmother….”

------------------------------

Ome and Joy joined their family for dinner that evening. Whatever their family wanted to discuss, they were ready for it.

“So Ome” his father started. “I don’t see you coming home often now.”

“Oh I work late so I just crash at my condo after work.”

He nodded, “I see…so Joy how have you been? It’s nice to see you in town for once. Usually I only get to see your parents.”

“I’m good. Just working here and there.”

“You know Joy, you’ve grown up so much since the last time I saw you” Ome’s mother said, admiring her. “You turned into a beautiful woman.”

Joy smiled, “Thank you. Aunty, you’re till looking young the last time I saw you.”

“Oh look at you, sweet talker.”

Ome’s mother nudged her husband to talk about the engagement that they had planned, “So I had this dinner plan because I wanted to talk to everyone about something important..”

“Here we go” Joy whispered to Ome.

“Our family has known each other for a very long time since our kids were little. Now that they have grown up, I want both of our children to take over the family business that us parents have created.”

Ome raised his hand, “Uh dad, I’m already taking over the family business though.”

“True and you’re doing a good job at it but I think it’s time for you to have a little helper.”

Joy’s mom looked at her daughter, “We think you would be the best candidate Joy.”

“Me? I didn’t got to school for business….”

“We know sweetie but Ome could teach you…….”

“Mom, I don’t think that’s a good idea. I’ll be going back home soon. I don’t want to be flying back and forth.”

“Who said you have to?” her father asked. “Why don’t you move here. You and Ome will see each other everyday and get closer with one another.”

“What are you guys trying to say?”

Her mom grabbed Joy‘s hand, “Joy, we want you to marry Ome.”

”Mom…..”

“You two are perfect for each other.”

Joy nudged Ome by the foot. He knew what that meant, “Um…..we can’t do that” said Ome.

“Why not?” his mother asked. “Joy’s a good person. No one is more suitable for you than her.”

“I’m not going to argue with that but marriage is about love mom. And I don’t love Joy in that way. And she feels the same way.”

Joy nodded, “Yeah….and besides Ome already has a girlfriend.”

“Who?” his parents asked.

“Parichat……”

“You’re back with her again?! Why?”

“Because I love her mom. I always had and I always will.”

“But I don’t like her. You know how she is.”

“She’s trying to change and besides the only reason why she was acting that way before was…..she had some issues with her dad.”

His mom smirked, “You mean her fake dad. I read it on the tabloids that she isn’t Pakorn’s real daughter. Makes me dislike her even more”

“But Chat is a good person. If you give her a chance, I bet you’ll change your mind.”

“No! I will never like a girl like her. I like Joy and I want only her.”

Joy stood up to defend Ome, “Aunty….we’re sorry we can’t do what you want us to be….”

“Joy sweetie, I thought you like Ome. Remember you told me?”

“Yes but that was when I was thirteen, fourteen. I was young at the time. It was just some puppy love crush. Trust me, Parichat is a really nice girl.”

“You’ve met her?”

“A couple times……”

Ome’s dad motioned towards his son, “So you’re sure you’re not going to change your mind?”

Ome shook his head, “Nope. I love Parichat dad. She’s a sweet girl.”

His dad nodded, “Why don’t you bring her over next time. I want to meet her. Last time you brought her over, I was on a business trip.”

Ome was happy his father understood him and respected his decision, “Thanks dad.”

“No!” his mom protested. “I’m not going to let you bring her to this house again. I don’t want to meet her.”

“Who said you had to?” her husband asked. “Stay in your room or go out that day when she comes over.”

“I can’t believe you! First you were siding with me that Ome should marry Joy and now you’re supporting him and Parichat?”

“I’m not siding with anyone here. I’m just respecting Ome’s decision. Joy doesn’t want to get married to Ome so why are we forcing them?”

The mother said no more and walked upstairs furious about her husband’s decision.

Joy’s parents looked at their daughter, “And what about you sweetie?”

“I’m not going to change my mind either. And besides, I think you’ll be meeting your soon to be son-in-law…”

“Are you saying you have a boyfriend?” her mother asked.

Joy smiled, “Well, he’s not yet my boyfriend but we hang out a lot though.”

What’s his name?” her father asked.

“Asanai. He’s actually Parichat’s cousin. He‘s a nice guy and a gentleman I might add”

Her mom pouted, “I really wanted you to get with Ome but I’ll give this Asanai guy a chance.”

Joy hugged her mom, “Thanks mom. I bet you’ll like him.”​

Chapter 28

After talking to Parichat, Nawin came up to check on Araya, while the two grandmothers went to talk to Parichat. Nawin found Araya sitting, leaning on the pillow as she gazed out the window. She wiped her tears as soon as she heard Nawin coming in.

“You okay?” he asked.

“A little” she replied.

“I bought you some food. You hungry?”

Araya nodded as she watched Nawin set up the food on the tray for her. He would blow on the soup before feeding her, “Win……I have something to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“I’m giving back your freedom.”

“What do you mean?”

“I want a divorce.”

“How come?”

“Do you even have to ask that? Aren’t you happy I’m giving your freedom back?”

“Before yeah, I might be happy but everything’s change now. Araya, you know how I feel about you.”

“And you expect me to believe that?”

“What do I have to do to make you believe me?”

“Nothing. You don’t have to do anything. And if you love and care for me like you said, you should respect my decision then.”

“Araya……”

“I just need time to be alone. So many things have happened and it’s too overwhelming at this point.”

“What about our grandmothers, what did they say about this?”

“They didn’t say much because they believe that in the future, we will be together….”

“Do you believe that will happen?”

Araya shrugged, “I don’t know…..”

“You sure you want this?”

Araya nodded, “I’m sure….”

“Fine. You want a divorce, we’ll get divorce. But can I ask you one last question?”

“What?”

“Do you even have any feelings for me at all?”

Araya looked straight into Nawin’s eyes, “To be honest, I’m not so sure.”

--------------------

Ome came home that night and found Parichat sleeping on the couch. He walked over to put the blanket on her. He kissed her on the cheeks before heading to his room, “Where did you go?” Chat asked in her sleep.

Ome turned around, “You’re awake?”

Chat sat up on the couch, “I am now…..”

Ome walked back and sat next to her, “I was having dinner with my parents and Joy’s parents…..”

“Oh…” she said softly. “How did it go?”

“Pretty good. How’s your dad doing?”

“He’s doing a lot better now…..”

“That’s good to know. So guess what, my dad invited you over for dinner?”

Chat gave Ome an estrange look, “Your dad?”

Ome nodded, “Yes, my dad.”

“Why?”

“Because he wants to meet his soon to be daughter-in-law.”

“Ome…..your family doesn’t like me and I don’t blame them for that. To them I‘m this wild girl who‘s so self-centered and arrogant”

“That’s why you’re gonna go to this dinner and prove that you’re a wonderful girl.”

“I don’t know Ome….”

Ome took her hand, “Please…….”

“Fine, I’ll go but can it wait?”

“Why? You’re busy tomorrow?”

“Somewhat….I know who my real dad is…”

“Really? That’s great! Who is he?”

“Hs name is Nikorn.”

“Nikorn?…..why does that name sound familiar?”

“Because…you met him before and so did I….”

Ome thought for a moment, “Well, the only Nikorn I know is Win’s uncle……”

Chat smiled at him, “He’s the one?”

Ome’s mouth dropped, “No way! Are you serious?”

“Yup. He’s my dad. And Win’s my cousin.”

“Wow…..what a small world…..did you get to talk to him?”

Chat shook her head, “Nope. I was planning on going to see him tomorrow before he leaves. Grandma gave me his address to his estate.”

“You want me to come with you tomorrow?”

“No, I’ll be fine. I’m just scared what he might say.”

“You’re scared he might reject you?”

Chat shrugged, “Maybe….”

“He won’t. By the way he was looking at you, he misses you…….”

Chat smirked, “And you thought he had a thing for me….what a dork…”

“Hey, I didn’t know okay….”

“Whatever….”

----------------

Parichat went to Nikorn’s estate the next day. She was nervous and excited at the same time. She hesitated before the ringer by the gate. A man dressed in black walked out, “Can I help you?” he asked.

“Yes, is this khun Nikorn’s house?”

“Yes…..”

“Is he home?”

“Yes he is. Who are you?”

“My name is Parichat. Khun Nikorn knows me well…”

The man nodded once and opened the gate for Parichat to come in. She followed him to the living room, “Wait here” he told her as he walked upstairs to go call Nikorn.

Nikorn walked downstairs and saw Parichat sitting there. He was surprise to see her and confused at the same time. Parichat stood up to greet him as he was walking towards her.

“Parichat, what brings you here? And how did you know where I live?”

“Um…….I wanted to see you so your mom told me where you lived.”

“What did you wanted to talk to me about?”

“I think you know deep down inside what I’m here for.”

Nikorn froze for a moment. He didn’t know what to say to Parichat.

“You’re my father aren’t you?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“You used to work with my dad, Pakorn, but once he found out that you had this secret affair with mom, he fired you…..”

Nikorn looked down. He became speechless.

“You know, you must have love my mom to do that to my dad and my mom probably loved you back. But my question is did you know that my mom was even pregnant?”

“I…..yes…I did know.”

“So why did you give me up?”

“I had to. I had no other choice. Pakorn wasn’t the only one that found out about me and your mom but her parents as well. Her parents didn’t approve of me because I had nothing at that time. They were for sure that I couldn’t take care of their daughter so I had to let her go and you as well…..”

“You knew who I was when you saw me for the first time and you didn’t even say anything?”

“What was I suppose to say? Oh I’m your real dad?”

“You have no idea what it was like growing up thinking that my father has never cared for me but now that I know he isn’t my father and that my real father actually abandoned me…”

“I didn’t abandoned you Chat. I already told you the reason.” He took a step closer to her, “But if you want to feel that way then I don’t blame you. I’m sorry for what has happened to you. If you don’t mind, I would like another chance to make it up to you………”

“What if I told you it’s already too late?”

“Then I’ll respect your decision.”

Chat half smiled, “But since you’re my dad, I’ll give you another chance. I want to get to know my own dad as well.”

[ONE MONTH LATER]

“If you love him, why did you divorce him?” Chat teased Araya as she stares out the living room window.

“I don’t love him” Araya strikes back.

“Sure you don’t.” Chat smiled. “You can lie all you want, but you can’t lie to me. I know you too well. But really Araya, do you not love him at all?”

“I thought you know me?”

“I think I know the answer but it doesn’t hurt to admit your feelings.”

“I don’t know…..”

Chat laughed a little, “You don’t know? It’s either a yes or a no.”

“Hey, why don’t you try being with a player. What would you do if he tells you he loves you?”

“If he’s cute then I’ll say….I love you too.”

“I’m being serious here Chat….”

“I know, I know….can’t I just mess with you for once?”

“Can we not talk about him?”

“Fine, let’s change the subject. You know I found out who my real dad is.”

“Yeah, I heard Win’s grandmother talking about it. I can’t believe you’re Win’s cousin. Remember he used to hit on you back then? Ugh…gross.”

Chat made a disgusted face, “Ew, I know. It was gross enough already that he was hitting on me and now that I know he’s my cousin makes it even more gross….”

Araya sighed in disappointment, “What’s the matter?” Chat asked.

“We wanted to talk about other things but we end up talking about Win again.”

“Sorry……”

Araya shook her head, “It’s alright……are you doing anything tonight?”

“No. Why?”

“You want to go out and have a girl’s night out?”

“Sounds like a good idea. I haven’t gone out in awhile. Ha, this would be a great idea for celebration me finding my real dad and you becoming single again….”

--------------------

That night, Araya and Parichat hit the club. The girls sat in the VIP section and were having some drinks. There, they meet these two good looking guys who were interested in them. Even though the girls didn’t think anything of the two guys, they decided to talk to them anyways, just so they were being polite.

Ome, Nawin, and Dan went out that night as well. They went to the same club as the girls but didn’t know the girls were there as well. The girls didn’t know that the guys were at the same club as them as well. Ome and Dan were having drinks but Win was there moping.

“Oh come on Win, you’re at the club, not a funeral. Cheer up.” Dan said trying to cheer him up. “If she doesn’t love you then move on. There’s plenty of hot girls here tonight…..”

“I wanna leave…”

Ome and Dan looked at each other in shock, “Wow, you definitely changed dude.” said Ome. “You used to like partying…”

“I’m just…I’m just not in the mood…..”

Dan tapped Win on the shoulder and gave him a drink, “That’s why me and Ome brought you here so you can forget about Araya for once. Celebrate your freedom and single life.”

Just then three girls walked up to them holding their own drinks, “Hey guys, might if we join you?” one of the girls asked.

Dan shook his head, “Not at all. We need some company around here.”

The girls sat down, one next to Ome, the other next to Win and Dan. “So what are you guys up to?”

Ome and Win stayed quiet. Dan did all the talking, “My friend Nawin here just got a divorce. If one of you ladies here would help cheer him up, I would be so happy…”

One of the girl took Win’s hand, “Wanna go dance?”

“No thanks….”

“Oh come on. Dances relaxes you…..”

The girl next to Ome grabbed his hands, “Do you want to go dance?”

Ome shook his head, “No thanks. I’m not a very good dancer. Trust me.”

“It’s okay. I can teach you.”

“No, it’s okay.”

The girl ignored Ome’s comments and she took his hand and pulled him to the dance floor. The other girl did the same to Win.

Parichat also walked to the dance floor with her new guy friend and took Araya and the other guy as well. The girls danced as they had their backs turned towards Ome and Win, who were trying to walk away but the girls held them back.

As Parichat was stepping back and dancing, she bumped into someone. She quickly turned around to see who it was and to her surprise, it was Ome.

“Ome!”

“Chat!”

“What are you doing here?!” they both asked at the same time.

The girl that was with Ome came and grabbed his arm, “Are you okay?”

Chat gave Ome the look that Ome knew right away what that meant, “You don’t have to tell me why you’re here now” she told him. “I can perfectly see why.”

“Chat…I…”

The guy that was dancing with Chat came and grabbed Chat’s hand, “Come on, why did you stop?”

Ome then gave Chat the look that she knew what that meant as well, “You don’t have to tell m either why you’re here…….”

Chat shrugged, “Okay then” She took the guy’s hand and walked away. Ome followed. Araya stopped when she saw Win dancing with another girl. He also stopped when he saw her.

“Araya, what are you doing here?”

“Same reason why you’re here….celebrating the single life….”

“It’s not what it looks like okay?”

“Oh really? You just got a divorce and here you are dancing with some random girl….”

“What about you huh? You’re doing the same thing.”

“Yeah but I’m not seducing him like she’s doing to you…”

“Why do you care if she’s seducing me or not? It‘s not like we‘re married or together anymore.”

Araya didn’t answer and just walked away. Nawin followed behind, “Araya, answer me…why are you possessive of me?”

“I’m not possessive of you! Why would I be?”

Win ran in front of her to stop her from walking, “You tell me that. If you don’t have any feelings for me, why are you jealous then?”

“I told you I’m..”

“By the way you’re acting, anyone can tell that you were jealous…….”

“I’m not jealous!”

“You sure?”

Araya nodded, “Positive.”

“Then I’m gonna go back in there and have her do a lap dance on me then….”

Araya looked away.

Nawin stepped back, “I’m going…..last chance to change your mind….”

Araya didn’t answer. In her head, she was debating with herself whether she should tell Nawin how she feels or not. Nawin decided to walk back and when he was about five foot away, Araya decided to risk it, “Stop! Don’t go back in there!”

Nawin smiled and turned around, “Why?”

“Because……I…I don’t like it when I see you with other girls…..”

Nawin slowly walked back to Araya, “Jealous? Possessive?”

“Maybe” she mumbled.

“What? I can’t hear you….”

“Okay, maybe I’m a little jealous. Happy now?”

Nawin smiled even bigger, “And why are you jealous?”

Araya pouted, “Do I really have to say it?”

Nawin nodded, “Please……”

Araya blushed and looked down, “I…….I…maybe have some …feelings for you too…..” she said softly….

“What? I didn’t hear you….”

Araya took a deep breath and leaned on to Win’s ear, “I love you too….”​
