Chapter 13
Yaya stunned. She couldn’t speak a word but look direct in his eyes. Mark slightly held one hand of her, caressing and kissed it. He looked right back up at her as he’s going to ask her one more time, “Will there be a chance if I ask you to be mine?”
Yaya never has that feeling towards him besides a friend. She slowly released her hand off from him and turned away.
She pretends to chuckled, “Khun Mark, you’re so funny... Please don’t joke around with me…”
Yaya continues chuckle. Mark walks over and face her, “I’m not kidding you! I really mean it.”
She stunned again and thought why he’s doing this to her. She isn’t the one for him is she? She then listen what he’s going to confront to her.
“Since the first day, on a raining day, I accidentally bumped in to you; I found myself that I was interested in you. I believe in faith that I will get to meet you again... and I did. Until now, I have worked with you. I feel so happy... I… I know I may be sound stupid right now but I…I–.”
Mark’s phone interrupted him before he was going to finish his sentence. He picked up phone.
“Hello… Uh – yes this is Khun Mark ka... Yes, I still do want to reserve that spot. Yeah, thank you.”
He ended the call.
Yaya looked at him with a curious look, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going Seur Bpaa Resort.” he smiled.
“What’s that?”
“It’s where they tours you around a Tiger Jungle Resort and see how it looks like.”
“Wow that sounds very fun!”
They both giggled and she was very excited for him.
“If you go… just have fun.” She weakly smile, “I will return back home soon…”
She then turned her back and about to go. Mark quickly grabbed her hand.
“Wait!”
Yaya looked at him once again as Mark weakly put a smirk on his face and drag her close to him.
“If you really are going, then why not take a one last trip with me. Yeah?”
She slightly put a smile on and nodded.
*************************************************
“Sigh*” “Where is that brother at? He’s always gone and why am I always home?” Margie whined.
She rolled her eyes and crosses her arms while waiting outside for her brother. Then, suddenly Nadech appear walking pass her and she went after him.
“Hey you! Stop right there!”
Nadech stops and looked at Margie with an annoying expression, “What? What it is now?”
“Where did you go last night? Why didn’t came back home?”
“I…I –” he utters.
“You what? Hey, don’t tell me you went out last night and drink again. Why are you keeping doing this to yourself, I don’t understand?”
“It’s none of your business. Please just leave me alone.”
He walks up the stairs. Margie pout at her brother and cross her arms watching him go. She got angry.
“Eeeeeee– Fine! Don’t want to communicate with me then never mind! Ughhhh… Chuen, Chuen! Where are you?!” she yelled.
Boy walks out of the sight, “Ouiii, the whole entire house is echoing now…”
Margie rolled her eyes and ignored him.
“Oh great he’s here, what a good day!” she murmured to herself.
“What did you said about me?”
She turned and looks at him, “I said nothing. Why? Do you want to cause some problem?”
He clenched his jaw, “EY! You! I came here to be nice alright, not that I want to cause any problem with you. I have no time to argue… Anyways, where is Nadech?”
“He walked up stairs to his room.” she politely saying.
“Thank you.”
*************************************************
Boy knocks on the door before going in. He saw Nadech stood alone in the dark sitting in bed. He walks over to sit behind him and put his hand on his shoulder.
“Dude, are you alright? You look very down? What’s the matter?”
“I’m alright… There’s nothing.”
“Are you sure? Cause you don’t look fine to me. I mean… if there’s something in mind, you can tell me? I’m here…”
Nadech just stood silent. Suddenly, Boy’s phone starts ringing.
“Hey what sup man? What? Go on a trip?”
Nadech and Boy looks at each other. “What kind of trip is it?” Boy asked. “Oh… interesting! It sounds very fun. Alright, I’ll let him know too. Ok, bye.”
“Who was it?”
“It’s Mark. He asked us to tag along with him. Man, this trip sounds fun. We should go... He also mention that it’s ok to take a date with us too because he got one already. Isn’t cool?! Sounds fun right?”
“No, it’s no fun because Kimberly isn’t here.”
He turned around.
“Dude! Isn’t that a lot better? She’s not here, you got more freedom. I’m sure you got lots of plan B’s out there following you. Get those chicks, yo!”
Nadech chuckles and widely smile.
“Man, you’re too goofy… Who are you taking then?”
“Don’t worry, I got one…” Boy raised his eyebrow. “Now com’on, what are you waiting for? Let’s get ready! Hah!”
“Alright, let’s go!”
*************************************************
“Madam, madam…”
A far voice’s calling.
“Nee, who’s calling?” Yaya’s mother asked.
“It sounds like Nat’s voice, madam.”
As they turned around, sawing Nat was running after them.
“Madam…”
She breathes heavily.
“What’s the matter to call for madam?”
“Yaya called and she wants to talk to madam.”
“My dearie called me?”
“Yes ka, madam.”
“Nee, take me back inside. I really want to talk to my daughter.”
Nee nodded smiling; Nee and Nat hold one side each of Yaya’s mother arms and take her back inside the house.
“Hello darling, how are you? How’s my daughter doing now? Fine?”
Yaya tears began to stream down as she heard her mother speaking on the phone. She starts sobbing quietly that her mother didn’t hear her. Her mother was confused if she was on the phone.
“Hello? Sweetheart, are you there? Hello…”
Yaya takes a deep breath, “Yes, I’m here mother. I’m sorry… I was doing something that I forgot to answer you.”
“Aw, how’s my little angel doing? Is she doing well?”
“Ye… Yes ka. I’m doing well…”
“I’m so happy to hear from you. How is your job going now?”
“Umm… Mom. I… I actually don’t work anymore. They… they fired me.”
Her mother gasp, “Oh my… how come? What did my angel do?”
“It’s a long story na, Mom. I will come back home soon and tell you everything but for right now I am packing and will go on a trip tomorrow.”
“You are going on a trip tomorrow? Who are you going with?”
“Just my close friends here, Mom. This trip will be the last… and I promise you, I will be fine…”
“You take good care of yourself, sweetheart.”
“You too, Mom. I love you and miss you…”
“I love you too and miss you too. Take care.”
Yaya ended the call. She smiles and feels much happier to talk with her mother. Her mother is the only person that can make her feel better. After this trip, she will now go back home and start a new beginning.
