"Krit... you promised me...", Ploy still remembers his promise to her that if she could finally walk and before she could go back to Thailand, they will go spend some time together even if to shortest time that they have. she will leave soon, without letting him know. she simply stares at the plane ticket she booked for this weekend, yes, she's leaving soon without letting him know...
someone's knocking at the door and so she put the plane ticket to her wallet right away. it was Krit who was knocking, he's already dress up and was ready to go for their little trip.
Chakrit: are you ready?
Ploy: yeah... (she get her luggage, but it wasnt a small luggage.)
Chakrit: you brought a lot of stuff, are you planning to stay longer and extend our honeymoon, sweetie?
Ploy: (she just smile, but its new for her to hear him saying "sweetie".) let's go now... (but even so... she tried her very best to smile at him, but deep inside... she dont quite understand what feels right now. she had no choice but to leave right away.)
Auntie Sara was wishing them a baby this time that it made her show into a reluctant smile "we'll give you twins when we come back~!", waving his hand to auntie Sara as they both got inside the car already. he return his look to his wife, watching him in a gloomy expression. "you heard what she said...", he was head to kiss her but she block it with her palm.
Ploy: and that would never happen... (she look away, trying to get serious...)
Chakrit: why? we're ma-
Ploy: SECRETLY MARRIED... (she look at him.) what do you think will be my family's reaction if they found out about this
he dont know how to answer her, he was not even worried about it, he dares to tell her family about their relationship but why does she look so worried... serious... gloomy right now? he started the car and look onto the rear mirror, from there... he notice all their luggage. he dont understand but he had a bad feeling about this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
she cant sleep last night, it just keeps bothering her even more... did she made a right decision?
[flashback]
Pat treat Por for a dinner, but in return... there were a big change between them, she want him to see her that she already change, she's even nicer that before... she's not the bratty one that Por always see in her. she dont want them to fight anymore. but there was a sudden change about him...
Pat: how are you? (they were currently waiting for their order.)
Por: im fine... (he took a sip of glass of water.)
Pat: (she smile for she was when i called you last time... were you pretending and playing games with me?
Por: what do you mean?... im not playing games around you... you're the one who's playing games around me.
Pat: me? (she look away and was giggling about that matter.)
Por: and you're happy about it, huh...
Pat: i just wanted to talk to you that time... at first, i didnt believe that you lost your memory and then-
Por: wait, wait... that's not what i meant.
Pat: eh?
Por: or did you already forgot about the document you sent my school...
Pat: oh that?.... is that really a big deal? i mean, i didnt sent it purposely you know... (she continually smile as if its not really a big deal.)
Por: so you dont mind if i will fail to get my master's degree?... so its not a big deal for you-
Pat: its not that... i... i... you know... mmmm... (cat got her tongue, she dont know what to say.)
Por: you see... if its not a big deal for you... well, for me... it is. i... i... i came back purposely, because i wanna see you.
"Do You" CLICK ME (this is the theme song on Pat and Por's segment. as once Por said those words, this was background song playing.)
there was a certain spark when Por said those words...
"i came back, because i wanna see you...", she dont know how to explain the feeling when those words keep repeating to her mind. Por snapping his fingers as Pat lost her mind for a moment,
"are you listening to me?... Pat... hey!".
Pat: sorry... what did you said again?
Por: (he was pissed.) tsk! (he looked away.) see... your not listening.
Pat: im sorry... mmm... im sorry about the document.
Por: is that it... just 'sorry', huh.
Pat: what am i suppose to do? if you want me to send a document again and arrange everything-... or i'll just email to the school-
Por: its too late already... do you think you can make things right after what you did? tell me... why did you do that?
Pat: (she remember why she did that... but she cant tell him. the food they ordered just arrive.) mmm... let's eat first?
Por: (he look into his wristwatch.) its late already... since you cant answer my question, i just have to go.
Pat: (before he was about to leave, she tried to stop him.) wait!-... where are you going, you just have at least dinner with...
Por: i dont have the appetite to eat-
Pat: i just said sorry... why are you so harsh on me... if its just about your document... i can email them if you want and-... wait, how about this... if you're still mad at me and just so you cant forgive me... just tell me what to do...
Por: its already been done and i already talk to them... but i have to take it AGAIN...
Pat: if that so... just forgive and forget about it...
Por: its like that it's so easy for you to forgive... and forget about it.
he sigh and was thinking if how will he forgive someone who almost ruin his dream, he look at her... he get to the point that all women are the same, but was he was trying to compare Pat on Dianne? then, his phone rang into message tone... Dianne just sent a message, to tell him that her father was inviting them at their house. of course, he wont go... just to see her, it just makes her sick.
"ok, i forgive you... but i have a condition...", he turn his look back to Pat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"you have to go back to your family, i'll be the one to deal with your father...", her brother said while they had the lite dinner at the restaurant. her brother, Ken Wongrutiyan was thinking if its better that he and her father will be in good terms and doesnt have plans to ruin each other's lives. he wanted to be welcome to her family... he explain that all throughout the years, the Wongrutiyan and Thabchumpon neverh ad in good terms, competing not only to business but to love... love that destroyed their friendship a long time ago. " i never wanted to be hated by anyone...", he explained.
she was done preparing a breakfast for her and Rome, but her mind is still not stable. she was thinking, if her father wants her back and if he could reconcile with Ken. she's worried about things might get worst in the future.
Rome just came out of his room, it wasnt the first breakfast she prepared for them. he appreciated the fact that aside from Rita stayed at his pad, no one had prepare a breakfast for him before. talking about his flings, they just come and go. but Rita was not a fling, she was guest, a woman who's not homeless, but a stubborn one who's doesnt know when she'll go back home. he was concern only about her family, especially to her father who's sick.
Rita: (he take the seat and started to grab some food, but before he could start eating. he wanted to take sip of the coffee she made.) wait~! not that... (he was about to drink the coffee but she warned him, it was a sweet coffee.)
Rome: (she gave him his coffee, he prefered a black coffee with no sugar and he couls still remember the first day he met her.) so... when do you decided to go back? (he want to bring up the topic again, he already told that her father wa sick and he was just concern.)
Rita: actually, there is something i have to tell you...
Rome: (he grab some food that he made and look at her.) what about?
Rita: mmmm... he's back here in Thailand, i mean my brother is back now here in Thailand.... and... yesterday... i... i... i went to meet up with him.
from there, she explained to him that Ken wants her to go back home and had to reconcile with her father. from Rome's point of view, Ken was right... Rita has to make up with her father for once and for all... before everything may get worst.
aside from that Rome suddenly remember her sister, he felt guilty for some reason, accusing him by killing his sister, but he didnt after all. Malene doesnt also wanted to tell Ken in the meantime, but he wonder when his sister will meet him again...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anchali warned him not to go to work this week and just take a rest even if he's already fine. but Ratsami cant, he wanted to go to work as soon as possible. he's indeed workaholic, he doesnt know to himself but he's just concern about their company and he's doing this for his family. last night, Aum called him that cant go to work unless his mother Adung gain from consciousness. so today, Ratsami had to go to work.
at his office while, Aum who's currently at the hospital send some files to him. suddenly, the phone was ringing and so he answer it right away.
Ratsami: hello?
Rita: dad...
Ratsami: Rita... (there were a moment of silence, he didnt expect for her to call. however, he was thinking about her recently. worried, just because he's also a father.)
Rita: dad... i... i... im sorry... i... i didnt actually runaway... i... i... i just wanna-
Ratsami: you dont have to explain anything... i... i... im the one who should apologize... (he sigh, he just have to at least let it be if what her daughter wants. Rita just wanted to know about her real mother and why she shouldnt forgive her.)
Rita: dad...
Ratsami: i was selfish... i didnt allow you to get a chance to know about your mother... but its because you already have the family, that's all. your mom, Anchali... she's the one who took care of you..
Rita: i know, dad... but i just want to know them... i mean... i have brothers too... im sorry if i...-
Ratsami: speaking of 'them'... i just want to protect you from them... look what-
Rita: i know, dad... i know... but they didnt mean to do it... they just wanted- (she stop and decided not to continue, for it might end up with a fight again.) i know that our family and their family had been enemy for years... but can please stop this-
Ratsami: honestly, i hate the fact to discuss about them... you know that you cant just take that away. we are enemies into this personal matter (he was referring to the past of Wongrutiyan and Thabchumpon) but we've been enemies in business circle-
Rita: dad, i called you not only because i wanna apologize for everything i've done. but i just want our family and Wongrutiyan will be in good terms.
Ratsami: (another moment of silence, he dont know if how could he get along with his daughter's request. then finally he made up his mind.) is that the only thing you ask for...
Rita: yes... dad.
he will do her request but he has conditions, after he and her daughter talk over the phone... he's just only waiting. waiting if that man Ken Wongrutiyan will call.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aum was just done sending the files to Mr. Thabchumpon, even though he was still at the hospital... he made sure to finish the other files that Ratsami needed, besides Mr. Thabchumpon understand his situation right now. however, he's still confuse from everything... everything from this family problem he has right now, he dont understand his mother and right now he's just watching his mom who havent gain from consciousness, he's been praying for his mother to wake up now... because right now, he's at the state of confusion from everything his mother told before she collapse.
lunch had passed and he realize he havent eaten yet. Ann visited him awhile ago and brought him some food to eat, she visited him purposely to talk about of how they will tell their parents about giving up this arrange marriage.
[flashback]
Ann: did i disturb you?
Aum: no... not at all... (he sigh and offer her seat.)
Ann: how's your mom?
Aum: the doctor says, she's okay. we just need to wait for her to wake up.
Ann: i see... i brought you something... (she brought some food for him to eat as she notice that he havent sleep yet nor haven eaten.)
Aum: thanks... (he put the food at the side table.)
Ann: listen... i came here because-
Aum: i know... im so ridiculous... i... i... im sorry if said those words last time... i was just-
Ann: you're in love with my sister. what's so ridiculous about that?
Aum: but the thing is... i hurt you... i cant take away the fact that you're mad at-
Ann: im not mad at you... maybe at first... the time you were drunk but after that... im not mad you anymore. Aum, if your really love sister... then go for her.
"then go for her...", after he remembered what Ann said to him... he felt like he didnt lose hope, she was not mad at him... but supporting him for what he really wants to happen. its already understood that once he's back to work, he and Ann has to tell their father that they will not continue this engagement anymore. if there's someone, he want to marry... that would be Aff and nothing else. he stood from his chair "mom, i'll be back... i just need to meet someone... someone that i wont ever regret...", he had full of high hopes this time. he's planning to go to Chiang Mai to see Aff again, this time... he'll never give up. he want to talk to her and tell her that he already talk to Ann.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Love Theme" CLICK ME (this is the background song for these following scenes.)
when Chakrit and Ploy finally arrive to the place were they want spent together and serve as honeymoon. Ploy wanted to spend every second, every minute, every hour with him. for him, if only he could stop the time for them to stay like this... just being happy, no hindrance. he just confirm about what he felt awhile ago, it wasnt just feeling bad about this trip... but the fact he knew he couldnt stop her from leaving... but the least he should know why she's leaving, why does she has to keep a secret from him? is there something he dont want to know?
"i will not stop you from leaving... but can you just tell me why are you leaving so soon?", as they both looking at each other, their thoughts were somehow connecting with each other. he cant ask her... he's afraid that they will end up fighting. he loved her.
"im afraid that something will came up if we'll still be together... the reason why im going to leave is to protect you... to protect us... i will find a way to talk to the people might made a conflict to us... i hope you could understand", that's what she wrote.
she wrote it in the middle of the night he was asleep... she has to get ready for her flight and she had no choice but leave him. she's not saying goodbye, but she's waiting... waiting for him. she know he will come right after her. she gave him a light kiss on his forehead, it was goodbye kiss. her tears fall down to his cheek and so she wipe it gently. she will spend the rest of the hours waiting at the departure area, though her eyes feel sleepy... her mind is full of thoughts about him, afraid to see nor imagine if what will be his reaction once he read her letter. she look up into her ring, the ring that he gave her "i love you...", she finally said.
Aum got caught up in the traffic jam, but he wont give up... besides, Aff will never go anywhere. he cant wait to confess all over again, but this time he made things right. he and Ann will never have plans of getting marry and its because his love only belongs to the person he loves. he saw a kid selling garlands and so he call the kid to buy the whole garlands, funny when he realize that he bought these kind of flowers... he's suppose to give her at least a dozen of roses or a bouquet but he doesnt have time anymore and so he end up buying the garlands.
while stuck in a traffic a jam, he dont if he made mistake when someone just cross the street... it look like Aff. when the woman made another glance to cross another lane, it look like her... yes, it was her and so he turn the car right away when the red light turn into green light sign. going across to the mall where she was heading. he didnt catch her, but he didnt stop, he will look for her inside the mall if he has to.
Aff went to the mall when Rita called her, she met with her but she didnt know that Rita was with someone "oh, i forgot to introduce you... Aff, this is Rome, Rome... this is Aff my sister", after they shake hands they took a seat and order some food. Rita told her that she has plan to go home... she dont know when but soon she'll go back. she also told her that the reason why she has to go home was because of Ken and then after that, she ask her when she's planning to go back home.
Aff: i dont know... if i will go back home, i know i will be working in the company again...
Rita: of course you are... why? what's the problem with that? its just normal that you're working with our family's company.
Aff: i just dont want to see someone...
Rita: (she was confuse, she dont know if who was the one whom Aff's referring to.) who?
Ken: i can help you if you want...
everybody look at Ken who just arrive, she didnt expect to see him again though. but it was kind of upsetting about the last they talk, of course... how could she forget... Ken Wongrutiyan is a part owner of this mall. however, if she will ask a help from him... will it be so strange? will it be alright or they might get mes again just like before? "dont worry... i already talk to your father... we had this deal in terms of business talk but if regarding with your family... im allow to visit my sister now", he smile at them as he want them to know the good news about it.
Rita: that's good to hear then...
Ken: and you have to go back tomorrow or... if you could do it today... much better.
Aff: h-how will you help me?
Ken: i will talk to your father if you want... you've once work in Wongrutiyan company before... since we owned the hotel few months ago.
she felt relieve when he said he's going to help her, its part of her moving on. if she ever had plans to work in their company, she will not allow to work with HIM again... she rather be assign in other department. she'll also not allow HIM to ruin her relationship with her sister, she will never give him a chance anymore.
meanwhile, Rome kept himself being silent when the three had the conversation. he dont know if what he will also tell since he's out of this situation, except that he took care of Rita "thanks taking care of my sister...", Ken said while they were at the rest room.
Rome: (before Ken would leave first... he dont know if he'll probably tell him about his sister.) wait... i... uh.... i... i.... i just wanna say that...ummmm... im... im sorry about last time... i mean about my sister.... Mae...-
Ken: its ok... i understand. dont worry... it was nothing. however, i dont know how to repay you for taking care of my sister while i was not here. she told me everything that you were with her at the white house...
he dont understand why Ken was so thankful when he took care of his sister, but for some reason he did it because he's concern about his job... and to her? was it a question when he's only concern about about?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
he didnt saw her.... cant even find her with this big mall, it was also crowded and though he never give from looking for her... in the end he already lose from looking for her. he decided to wait for her in Chiang Mai.
meanwhile, Ratsami just got from his office... after meeting and talk over with Ken, he was just hoping that after what they deal about some other things will turn out good. yes, he was waiting for him to call but... he didnt expect that after he and his daughter would talk... the phone ring again and it was him. Ken invited him to have lunch with him and talk about things regarding with their family matter, of course Ratsami dont want to discuss about it but he cant seem to avoid it. and so he decided to meet up with him, for he wanted to have conditions.
[flashback]
Ratsami: i didnt expect you to call... but... i was waiting for you actually...
Ken: im sorry for my disturbance, Mr. Thabchumpon... (he was trying to be formal)
Ratsami: did Rita call you to call me?...
Ken: no... i was calling you awhile ago but it was busy.
Ratsami: i see...
Ken: Mr. Thabchumpon, i still wanna apologize to what happened last time... i know-
Ratsami: why dont you just get straight with me, Mr. Ken Wongrutiyan... i understand the fact that i've been so selfish with my daughter about the truth between Thabchumpon and Wongrutiyan. but we cant change the past now...
Ken: first of all, i only did that... its because of my mother's wish before she died. regarding of the kidnapping last-
Ratsami: i dont want to discuss about that, Mr. Wongrutiyan... i want to know what you really want to happen if in case i wanna hear your side. Rita already explained to me about what she did... now i know she didnt runaway... but let me ask you something... are planning to make Rita choose if whom she wants to live?
Ken: that's not what i meant, Mr. Thabchumpon... i never wanted Rita choose in the first place. but... but...
Ratsami: but what?
Ken: i just want her to see me as her brother... me and my brother Por... i mean she's our sister and... and despite of our companies being rival for years because of my father... i... i... i just want you to know that i never think of Thabchumpon Corporation as my enemy... maybe... maybe because i was always concern about my mother...
Ratsami: so what are you trying to say...
Ken: i just want to do business and if possible... i think its much better if these two rival companies build a good relationship in terms of business deals and... yes, i want to invest in your company... not because i want to... but because i want you to throw away what Wongrutiyan and Thabchumpon had in the past. im Ken Wongrutiyan, president of the Wongrutiyan Corporation. if you want to know me better... then you will never regret of d-
Ratsami: i already know you, Mr. Wongrutiyan... i've tried invest in your company... that was the time when i let my daughter work in the Lilium Hotel... but many things happened during these past few months. how can you get back my trust again?
Ken: i just want us to be in good terms, Mr. Thabchumpon... and if you will let me get back your trust right now... i will assure you that i will make things right.
Ratsami: how will you prove it then? by investing in my company?... i think that's absurd. (he sigh but he look into him seriously, but Ken was serious.) fine... i will give some conditions.
the next time he'll meet him again, they will both announce through the media about their deal. Ken will not only invest to his company but also he do the same to his company, if that will happen they'll be the one of the largest investors within their companies. but he still have to discuss this matter with his friend... Chiangmai. but then, its still his decision about this, besides... for some reason Ken was right... he dont wanna hold grudges anymore... and the fact that these two important people passed away already. he have to move on... with his wife, with his family... without holding grudges to someone. if this today he made a right choice... then all the past were already vanish and he can live peacefully with it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
she was packing her clothes, getting ready to go home... its better if she could go home as soon as possible, after that... they will also drop into Aff's place so that they can fetch her. meanwhile, Rita was still packing and as Rome watching her... he was happy... now that everything is fine within their family now. he decided to help her.
Rome: let me help you then...
Rita: its ok... im already done... (he just sit beside her and look at her, she wonder why he was looking at her.) why???
Rome: nothing...
Rita: you will not look at me like that if there's no reason...
Rome: okay... (he smirk and look away from her.)
Rita: (she deep sigh and when she recline her back to the sofa, she get his hand and hold it for a moment. he was a little bit surprise, he dont understand if what kind of feeling he felt when she hold onto his hand. he look at her.) thank you...
Rome: f-for wh-what?
Rita: for letting me stay here... i mean even if stayed for a couple of days only... or might as we say i did have little vacation to your pad... (she smile.) thank you so much.
Rome: no problem... im just doing what's best for you...
Rita: best for me? what's that suppose to mean?
Rome: if i let you go and went somewhere... your problem will not go anywhere... maybe it will get a lot of worse...
Rita: you're right... and thanks again... (she stood up.) you know what... by getting to know you for a short time... i can prove that Chakrit was wrong...
Rome: (he didnt expect her to say his name again, his cousin... who left her. but did he left for good?) how come you said that?
Rita: duh... did i told you before... that he talks about you and then he said you were workaholic... which i have prove it that its true... but one thing he prove me wrong was... you were not snob at all... you were "Mr. Nice Guy" after all... (she smile and hug him, he got carried away by her hug.) i just wanna say thank you for letting me stay here... for doing what's best for me... (she keep holding onto him, speaking of the guy she miss in her mind... yes, she miss Chakrit.)
Rome: speaking about him... you still love him... dont you?
Rita: maybe one of the reasons why i stayed here in your pad... was because i was hoping that he would call and the least i could hear his voice... (she was about to cry but then he let her go. he offered her his handkerchief.) im sorry...
Rome: its okay... i understand... (he brush her hair by his palm, calming her down.) if by the time he calls... i will tell you and maybe he get back home here... im sure he will proudly say that he have change for you... and when that time comes... you'll even more love him because he change because of you.... (he wipe her tears.) so... stop crying now. all you have to do is to be patient and wait for his comeback.
she's done packing her things and Rome was waiting inside his car for they will fetch Aff after this. while waiting at his car, he dont quite understand what he felt right now... a bit strange for him but when Rita's face flashback to his mind and told him about what she felt right now... he was hurt. he dont know why, but he hope that his cousin will comeback for her, he dont wanna see her being sad and if Chakrit really change for her, then he'll be glad enough to see them getting back together. besides, he just wish for her happiness only. however, this feeling he has right now... this weird feeling that he cant even understand when he look at her, he guess he have to ignore it. besides, he only cares about her, that's all... nothing else.
