Poppy as Chantara or Tara 
 
Growing up, Tara had always lived that fantasy princess life. She had a father whom she spend everyday with. She was obedient and a kind little girl. She was you can say a girly girl. She loved dresses and skirts. But tragically, when she was about 12 years old, her mother passed away, due to cancer. She stayed strong because she promised her mother she would. After that she and her dad became very close. She did very excellent in school but after a horrible breakup lead her to the wrong path. She felt weak. Her dad suggests that she goes and lives with her Aunt Kate for a couple months and if that doesn't help, maybe a year. She follows his orders. She goes to live with her Aunt who is a world renowned mixed martial artist and many more talents (lol). She taught Tara how to be strong but to not change herself. Tara learned archery,kick-boxing, and how to use blades,swords and knives. She returned home after a year. But a "new" problem starts. I'd tell you more but........... U need to read to find out. :)

Chapter 1
 
Its only one more day till Chantara gets to see her father again. 
Tara: Ba Kate. I'm really going to miss you. The year seemed to go by so quickly.
Kate: Ba will miss you even more. Remember to always FaceTime with Ba Nah?
Tara: Promise.
Kate: Great. So for your last day, what do you want to do together?
Tara: Well, I have nothing in mind but Oh yeah!
Kate: Speak girl!
Tara: Can we please please please please go to the temple and make merit?
Kate: Owh who died??
Tara: No one Ba Kate. It's just, making merit is a happy thing. And i want to make merit so that those stray spirits stuck between worlds can finally forgive and let go of their grudges to go to the after world and reborn the next life. And for Khun Mae.
Kate: Well, okay. I would've said no but it's your last day so, we'll go.
She grabbed her keys and drove to the temple. They went to get the red and yellow holy sticks to make merit. 
Kate: You ready to go?
Tara: Kah.
She drove Tara back to her house where she helped her pack.
Tara: Thank you Ba Kate.
Kate: Anytime girly, now you better get some rest. I'll drive you to the airport tomorrow okay?
Tara: Kah. 
Kate left her and turned off the lights.
Tara: I'm going to miss this place, but I'm glad to see you again Khun Paw. 
She went to bed. 
 
Namtarn: I can't wait to see you again P'Chai.
Chai: Me either. When do you want me to come pick you up?
Namtarn: Oy, P'Chai. I'm the one getting off the plane, you decide but you cannot be late nor too late Nah?
Chai: nee, you little girl. Be lucky I'm even picking you up, keep babbling and I will leave your butt on the streets of Bangkok Airport.
Namtarn: P'Chai!!
Chai: Kidding.
Belle: P'Chai Kah!
It was Belle, Chai's bitch of a girlfriend. Namtarn's smile completely faded away, it was now an annoying look.
Belle: Ow! Is that N'Nam??
Chai: Yes Belle.
Belle acted as the fact bitch she was. She used a fake innocent voice.
Belle: N'Nam!! Belle missed you nah!
Namtarn: I miss you too P'Belle!
She used a fake voice as well.
Belle: Well i'll get back to my duty. Goodbye Kah!
Namtarn: P'Chai, you need to dump her.
Chai: Nee.
He went to his room.
Chai: Why don't you like Belle? She's beautiful and kind.
Namtarn: I don't think so.
Chai: Namtarn, you need to get used to Belle. Sooner later we're gonna get married.
Namtarn: Fine by me, but i will never in the whole universe ever call her as my in-law.
Chai: Namtarn, is asking you to like Belle that hard?
Namtarn: Chai! I'd rather die than to be her in-law. 
She hung up.
Chai: Hello? Hello! Namtarn! Namtarn! You dare hang up on me? Just see, two can play it that game.
 
Kate: Girly,girly, girly. 
Tara: 10 more minutes nah?
Kate: if we wait 10 more minutes we'll be late.
Tara: huh! Well then start the car get my bags in the car hurry!!!
Kate: okay!
They went in and out and by the time they were done they sped to the airport. Namtarn was already at the airport.
Namtarn: P'Chai Urh P'Chai. If you don't pick me up, we see what your future shall look like.
She walked to the terminal and sat down. Kate and Tara was rushing in there. they made it and panted and sat down.
Namtarn: Aww. How sweet.
Kate: Got your passport? 
Tara: Kah.
Kate: Got all your bags?
Tara: uhh, Kah!
Kate: Got your cellphone?
Tara: Right here!
Kate: Okay, oh! You can go now!
She was running in but Kate stopped her.
Kate: Wait!! You forgot something!
Tara: What what is it?!?!
Kate: To give me a hug!!
Tara: Ba Kate! I thought it was something important.
Kate: So my hug isn't important?
Tara: of course it's important!
She hugged Kate, and cried a little too.
Tara: I'm going to miss you Ba Kate. 
Kate: don't worry girly, I will come to visit P'Boy soon.
Tara: P'Boy?
Kate: Haha, he's your father.
Tara: Oh ahahaha.
Kate: no time! Hurry! 
She ran.
Kate: Remember to FaceTime me! don't forget!! Oh that girly. 
Tara: here you go ma'am! 
Flight attendant: Thank you miss, please find an open seat Kah.
Tara: Kah!
She went and looked for an open seat. She saw one next to Namtarn and sat down beside her.
Tara: Sawadee Kah.
Namtarn: Sawadee Kah.
She said in a nice manner. Better than she ever did to Belle.
Tara: So, where are you going to?
Namtarn: Back to my birthplace, Bangkok.
Tara: That's so cool, I'm going there too, and that's where I was born.
Namtarn: really! That's cool. I'm Namtarn.
Tara: Nice to meet you Khun Namtarn! I'm Chantara, or Tara for short.
Namtarn: Lovely. Well lets just make the best of this plane ride.
Tara: I agree. So do you have any older siblings?
Namtarn: I do! He is about a couple years older than me. You?
Tara: Unfortunately, I'm an only child. 
Namtarn: Unfortunately?? That is my dream! To be an only child! My brother P'Chai is a pain in the butt!
Tara: I've always wanted an older brother or at lease a brother, but. My mother passed away. My father said that they were going to have another baby, hopefully a boy. But....
Namtarn: take it easy Khun Tara.
Tara: My mother has had cancer for many years. It was her time so, now she's in that big house just like ours, but in the sky.
Namtarn: Very touching. My parents are happily together, but they embarrass me every time.
Tara: How so?
Namtarn: Well, they just bring up past stories from when I was a baby and tell my friends.
Tara: Parents, it's like its their job to embarrass us. 
Namtarn: Chai. So why did you come to America?
Tara: Well, i had a terrible breakup which i could never get through, so I decided to come stay with my Aunt Kate until i feel me again. I can't wait to see my dad. So why did you come?
Namtarn: I didn't want to, but my parents wanted me to start a career here.
Tara: Career?? But you're like 20!
Namtarn: How did you know i was 20?
Tara: Lucky guess, and I'm 22. My birthday is on March 1.
Namtarn: You are only 6 months older than me. But, March 1 you say?
Tara: Kah. Justin Bieber's birthday!!!!
Namtarn: You like him too!!
Tara: No, I love him!!!
They chatted about Justin Bieber the whole ride. Now after 1 and a half day they were in Bangkok.
Tara: Well, it was nice meeting you Namtarn, but I have to see my father.
Namtarn: Kah, wait can I have your number?
Tara: Yes. Here you go.
Namtarn: thank you Kah!
She dialed Chai's number. No answer. She texted him: Why are you not here?? I told you not to be late nor too late! He replied with C:You hung up on me, I'm not picking you up. N: Is it that girl Belle again? You're having lunch with your bitchy girlfriend instead of picking up your little sister? C: I have to go now bye. 
Namtarn: Oy! Pain in the ass! She went outside and bumped into Tara.
Tara: Khun Nam, you're still here?
Namtarn: P'Chai is refusing to pick me up! 
Tara: Oh, thats horrible. Hey I can tell my driver to quickly drive you there!
Namtarn: Ching!
Tara: Kah!
Namtarn: Thank you so much! You are so nice!! If my brother had a girlfriend like you or YOU I wouldn't mind at all.
Tara: Thank you. I'll call my-
Son: Khun Noo Krup!
Tara: Lung Son! 
Son: Come in Khun Noo. And your friend!
Tara: Oh Lung Son I need you to make a drive to, where kah?
Namtarn: Oh Ker, Lithasawatwong Mansion please. 
Son: Okay Krup.
He drove to her house.
Namtarn: Thank you Kah. Would you like to come in? 
Tara: No need, I'm in a hurry Kah but thank you.
Namtarn: I'll call you if I have a chance Nah!
Tara: Kah! Goodbye nah.
Namtarn went inside and saw Chai With Belle.
Belle: N'Nam!!! I miss you! Oh!
She went to hug her but Namarn blocked it.
Namtarn: Woah, first hug is reserved for P'Chai.
Chai: Well you managed to get here. On time actually.
Namtarn: Well I met this really great girl at the airport and she gave me a ride.
Belle: oh! So she knows your address??
Namtarn: Kah.
Belle: What if she comes here and robs us??
Namtarn: Khun Tara is never like that!
Chai: You know her name not her story. Belle could be right.
Nam(I'll just say that for short): Correction, I do know her story. It took a whole plane ride, we talked, I got to know more about her.
Belle: She may be lying. She just wants our money.
Nam: She doesn't want our money.
Belle: How could you be so sure?
Chai: Yeah, how could you?
Nam: Because, her aunt is a world renowned mixed martial artist teacher, her father is a very well known billionaire who owns 2 mansions, 5 beach houses, 4 yachts, has access to all celebrity parties and has over 100 cars. 
Chai: wow, she's really upper class. 
Belle: She seems really like a braggart.
Nam: Nee, i was with her not you. I asked her if she had all that stuff, she is not a braggart. 
Chai: Kinda, but, she is just like us, but our parents own 3 mansions, 10 beach houses, 4 yachts, and over 1000 cars. 
Nam: Now, see you are a braggart.
Chai: Ow give me a hug you pain in the ass.
Nam hugged him so tightly he had to let go.
Chai: Just, go get dressed, Khun Mae and Khun Paw wants to go out and eat with everyone.
 
Son: Here we are Khun Noo. Don't worry about the bags okay, I got them.
Tara nodded and ran inside, it was just like the same when she left. But something felt different. She thought it was because she wasn't used to it yet. She ignored it. 
Boy: Lu.
Tara: Paw!
Boy: Lu!!!!
He ran and picked up his daughter and spun her around. 
Tara: I missed Khun Paw so much!!
Boy: I missed you too dear! Wow, my little girl hasn't changed a bit.
Tara: Kah.
Boy: Well, wha do you want tonight for dinner-
Madam: Sud Theerak(Sweetheart).
Tara was now frowning.
Madam: Is this your daughter? Oh my gosh she is fully grown now!
Tara looked at the ring on her finger.
Boy: Lu Tara, this is-
Tara: Khun Pen Arai?(Who are you?) What are you doing in my house? Khun Paw.
Madam: I'm Madam Suchada, and I'm your stepmother to be.
Boy: We're engaged.
Tara: Ta Mai? Ta Mai Khun Paw!
Or: Khun Noo.
Tara: Mai Nah Ba Or! Ta Mai! Why are you engaged with this lady!
Boy: Well, she is an explorer, and we'll travel together to go help companies around the world.
Tara: Khun Paw! How about Khun Mae! Have you forgotten all about her?!
Madam: Nang Sow. 
Tara: Get away from me! Ta Mai Khun Paw! Why do you do this!! Ta Mai Ta Mai Ta Mai Ta Mai?!?!
Boy: Your mother died years ago!
Tara: You said she was always alive in your heart!!! What happened to that?!
Boy: Tara you will say no more! Go to your room!
Tara: Mai!
Boy: Tara!!!!
He screamed at her, he never did that.
Tara: Khun Paw.
Boy: Tara, Lu.
Tara went to push Madam.
Tara: See what you've done?! You've tore my family apart!!! You broke my family!!
Boy: Tara!! Unhand Khun Lady Dew Nee! 
Tara: Mai!! She tore our family apart! 
Or: Khun Noo Kah Khun Noo!
Her dad pulled her away and then slapped her across the face. 
Boy: From this day fourth if you dare to hurt Khun Lady, my fiance, we are no longer Paw and Lu. Understand?!
It was like no longer daughter and father. Tara screamed.
Tara: I hate you!! You've broke apart my family and you broke apart me and Khun Paw!! I hate you!!
She screamed and ran to her room. She laid on her bed and cried. 
Or: Khun Tat kah, how will you tell Khun Noo?
Boy: I'll leave that to you. When I leave tomorrow morning, just break it to her.
Madam: She seemed, to really hate me.
Boy: She'll get over it, nah. Go to bed, we get up early tomorrow. 
Madam: Kah. 
The next morning Tara went downstairs to see her dad, he was no where in sight. 
Tara: Khun Paw, Khun Paw, Khun Paw!
Or: Khun Noo Khun Noo, have a seat.
Tara: Where is Khun Paw?
Or: Have a seat first. Okay, dear. He left. This morning to Germany, with Khun Lady.
Tara's heart sank and broke into a million pieces.
Tara: Khun Paw!!
She cried and fell. Or comforted her. 
Tara: Paw!!!!!
She fainted. 
Or: Khun Noo! Khun Noo! Khun Noo!!! Son! Help get Khun Noo in her bed! Dew Nee! Khun Noo!
Tara: Khun Paw......
She came in.
Or: Khun Noo. Khun Noo. 
Tara remembered, her father left her.
Tara: Just leave me alone!!!!!! Pi! Pi! Pi! Get out of my room!! PI!!!!!!!
Scared, Or ran out. She has never seen Tara act this way. Tara locked the doors and threw everything off her desk. All the glass bears,unicorns and everything shattered. She went to her closet and took out all her clothes, she tore them up. Everything. Her favorite pink shirt which she loved, she tore and created it into a D.I.Y ripped shirt. She gathered all her dresses and skirts and went outside. She poured gasoline on it and burned it to shred. Inside the house, Nam was calling.
Nam: Thats strange, she said she'd pick up all my calls.
Chai: Nee, you do not have time for this. You need to get ready to study. 
Tara went back inside and ripped her walls. The wallpapers on her walls. She ripped them out. She was doing a rearrangement in her room. She took out all her makeup and ruined them. Then, she grabbed her credit card and went out. She went to that Emo-Gothic store and bought almost everything. She bought mostly ripped jeans, black jeans and black sneakers. Her shirts that she bought were ripped,black,long sleeve,lace and many more non-girly type. Then she went to get black paint,black makeup,black accessories. But before she went home, she went to the archery shop and purchased 2 bows and many packages of arrows then went home.
Or: Khun Noo! There you are-
Tara did something she had never done. She pushed Or aside. Or just cried. Her Khun Noo whom was girly and bright was now evolving into this terrible person. Tara put all her old girly stuff in a trash bag and started putting her new things in. She hung up her clothes and threw her makeup inside her drawer without cleaning it. She painted her walls all black.She dyed her hair slick midnight black. Her new makeup look was scary. It was too much eyeliner and black eye shadow. She wore her black ripped jeans with the D.I.Y ripped shirt she made. She walked outside. Everyone was scared of the new her. She didn't care. She didn't care at all. She just left the house and didn't come back that night until the next morning................

Chapter 2
 
Or: I'Son, i'm getting really worried about Khun Noo. She left last night and hasn't come back yet. Do you think what I'm thinking?
Yells come out from outside.
Son: What is that?
Or:I don't know but it sounds like Khun Noo. Pi Pi lets go!
Outside was Tara screaming to 2 boys.
Tara: This is my property you cannot park here!
Boy 1: Just shut up little girl.
Tara: You wanna go? Lets go right here!
Boy 2: Okay then.
Or: Khun Noo! Yot! Yot Dew Nee Nah!! Khun Noo! I was so worried!
Tara: Ba Or not now-
She was punched in the face by one of the guys.
Or: Khun Noo!!!! Nee you guys have no manners!!! Punching a woman is not right!!
Boy 1: Shut up old maid! 
Boy 2: Or else you get it too!
Or: Ching Lawe! Dai! 
She jumped on one of the guys and bit his ear. But the guy overpowered her and threw her off. She landed next to Tara. Tara got up and punched both of them in the face. Boy 1 pushed her down. She ran in the house.
Boy 1: Had enough already??
Boy 2: I was ready to be in bed with her tonight!
Boy 1: Lets get out of here.
Just as they were about to leave an arrow came directly to their place and hit a tree. They turned back it was Tara. 
Tara: You have 5 seconds to leave my courtyard, or else.
Boy 2: Wow! She thinks she's a hero! Hey sweetie, put down that bow and arrow or else someone might get hurt!
They laughed. She shot another one but missed. She was too distracted. 
Boy 1: Loser!! Ah I'm scared!!
She grabbed her 3rd arrow and placed it in her bow. She took a deep breathe and shot. It shot Boy 2 perfectly in the arm.
Tara: Leave now! This time, I surely won't miss again.
Within a second, they left in fear. Tara ran to Or and helped her up. She took her inside.
Tara: See Ba Or? I told you to stay out of it.
Or: How could I? My Khun Noo was in trouble.
Or really cared about her. She hugged her.
Or: Khun Noo. Khun Noo.
 
Nam: P'Chai do I have too?
Chai: yes. You need to go study in New Hampshire. Pack your clothes.
Nam: I don't wanna go there! 
Chai: Mom and Dad told you to go and you're going!
Nam: I don't get it, why did they suddenly want me to go to New Hampshire?
Belle: chuckles.
Belle had convinced Chai's parents to make Nam go to New Hampshire.
Chai: N'Nam, it won't be long. They said only a year and come back.
Nam: 1 Year?!?!?
She slouched in her seat.
Chai: If you wanna make them proud, just do it.
Nam: Kah. P'Chai.
The next morning Nam left for her flight to New Hampshire. 
 
One Year Later 
 
Or: Khun Noo Kah.  
Tara: Kah Ba Or?
Or: Would you like to eat anything for dinner tonight?
Tara: Mai. I want to go out.
Or: But Khun-
Tara: I said I'm going out, I'm going out.
Or: Kah Kah.
She grabbed her keys and left.
 
Chai: I can't wait for N'Nam.
Belle: When is she getting off?
Chai: I'm not sure,
Belle: Why are you so excited?
Chai: She's my sister, i haven't seen her in a year. 
Belle: Right, sorry. 
Chai: Its okay.
Belle: P'Chai Kah. We've been dating for quite a while now. Don't you think it's time? 
Chai smiled and held her hand.
Chai: I thought the same thing too, and I'm working on getting engaged by the end of this month. 
Belle: End of this month?!?!
She screamed. Everyone looked at her and she felt embarrassed. She changed her tone.
Belle: P'Chai you shouldn't have!!!!! 
Chai: Wow, for a second there I thought you were angry.
Belle: How could I be angry at you?
Nam: P'Chai! 
Chai: N'Nam!!!
They ran to each other and hugged. He picked her up and spun her around in circles. 
Nam: I missed you P'Chai! 
Chai: I missed you too you little trouble maker!!
Belle: Shall we go eat something?
Chai: Uh, chai. Nam, what do you want to eat?
She thought for a while. She knew Belle was on a strict diet and was allergic to doughnuts and cupcakes.
Nam: How about "Sweet"?? Its this cupcake sweets shop i love going to!
Chai: Well anything for my little girl!
He drove to the cupcake shop.
 
Tara: I'll have a huge red velvet cupcake and a small medium cake.
Me: Okay Kah. Ow. N'Tara! Haven't seen you in a while! Wait a minute! March 1! Happy Birthday Lu!(She calls her daughter cuz she was her dads close friend)
Tara: Kop Khun Nah Kah Ba Me.
Thought Tara was no longer the sweet and lovable little girl everyone knew, she had respect for her elders.
Me: Here you go. Now don't pull your money,  since it's your birthday I will give to you free.
Tara: No, i need to pay you.
Me: Okay fine, as a tip only.
Tara dropped a 20 dollar tip in the jar.
Me: Mai Mai this is more than what you bought.
Tara: keep it Ba Me. 
Me: Nee, Tara-
Tara: Oh could you please send the cake to my house? I dont want the workers to not have any cake.
Me: No problem. I'Thee! Get this cake to N'Tara's house! Dew Nee!
Thee got the cake and left.
Nam: Here it is P'Chai! 
They entered the store. 
Tara: Well, it was nice chatting with you Ba Me. I have to go now. Goodbye kah.
Me: goodbye dear, have a great birthday.
Nam: I'm going to get the-
She bumped into Tara.
Tara: Nee watch where you're going!
Nam: Kor tor nah kah- Khun, Khun Tara?
Tara: Khun Nam? 
Nam: kah kah! Is that really you?? 
Tara: Kah.What are you doing here?
Nam: Well, I was getting a snack since I just came from New Hampshire.
Tara: Oh, cool.
Nam: Wow, 1 year and you've changed so much.
Tara: You're still the same.
They chuckled.
Nam: What are you doing here?
Tara pointed to the calender. March 1. 
Nam: March 1?
Flashback~
Tara: Lucky guess, and I'm 22. My birthday is on March 1.
Reality~
Nam: Oh! Suksan Wan Kurd Nah Kah!(Happy Birthday)
Tara: Kop Chai Man Nah Kah.
Nam: Do you want to do anything tonight? Its my first day back and your birthday!
Tara: I'll have to think about it first. But I wanna spend time with my Aunt at home for a while.
Nam: Kah, Wait! First i need you to meet someone!! 
Tara: Alai Nah Khun Nam?
Nam: P'Chai! P'Chai! 
Chai: What is it N'Nam?
He came through the door and locked eyes with Tara. They stared for quite a while. Nam smiled because she knew that they were future soul mates. Then, Belle walked in and interrupted.
Belle: Nam, who is this?
Nam: P'Chai, this is my friend Khun Tara, the one i met on the plane.
Chai: That's Khun Tara?
Belle: I thought you said she was pretty?
Tara chuckled.
Tara: Well, I'm not that pretty.
Belle: You got that right.
Tara: But just prettier than you.
Belle: Tara!!
Nam smiled.
Belle: P'Chai! P'Chai she just insulted me!!
Tara: Where and how did I insult you? I just stated a true fact.
Belle: If you think you're prettier than me, you must be stupid. I'm Pretty!
Tara: Yeah, pretty ugly.
Belle: Ah-
Tara: And judging from who you are and how you are, Khun Chai here, is pretty stupid as well.
Belle: What is that supposed to mean?!
Chai: Did you just call me stupid?
Tara: Chai Kah. You are so stupid, for have a girlfriend like her.
Belle: Arh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'Bah!!!!
She went to slap her but Me stepped in the way.
Me: Yot! Don't come any closer to my birthday girl!
Belle: Back off old lady you can't do anything to me!
Me: Can't I? Security! Drag her out. 
Security took her hand and left.
Chai: Why did you do that?
Tara: I didn't. Your girlfriend was being bitchy, thats what bitches get.
Chai: She's not a bitch.
Nam: I could agree-
Chai: Stay out of this N'Nam.
Tara: I was speaking the truth.
Chai: Well maybe you need to keep the truth to yourself.
Tara: Hah, man? Can't even handle the truth.
Chai: Nee!
Nam: Hoy! Its her birthday! Don't fight with her! 
They stopped.
Nam:But Khun Tara, why are you like this? Before you wore mostly bright colors and tied your hair. Tai Mai, why are you dressed like, a goth?
Tara: Whatever I do is nobody's business. I'm leaving.
She bumped Chai on the shoulder then left.
Chai: You said, she was girly and nice.
Nam: kah.
Chai: Well, she's tomboy, and mean!
Nam: I couldn't agree less with you. She was different when I met her. What happened.
 
Tara got home.
Or: Khun Noo, thank you for the cake Kah.
Tara: Its okay. Can you clear out the balcony for me?
Or: Oh, okay kah.
Tara: Kop Chai Ma Nah Kah.
Or and the workers cleaned the balcony and Tara went upstairs to there. She unfolded the cupcake box. 
Tara: Ba Or, can you get me some candles and a lighter?
Or: Kah.
She brought her the stuff and walked away. Tara put the candle on the cupcake and lit it.
Tara closed her eyes. 
Her mind: You are once again spending your birthday by yourself. Without Khun Paw. You did it. If you can do this, you can do anything that life has coming for you. Believe in yourself Chantara.
Tara: Happy Birthday, Chantara.
She blew out the candle. Or was standing near the door, peaking at her. She cried a little.

Chapter 3
 
Tara sat down and enjoyed her birthday by herself again. She unwrapped the cupcake from its wrapper and started eating it. At Nam's house, she was in her room confused. She took out her phone and scrolled up her photos. There they were. Pictures of her and Tara when they were on the plane. That time, she wore lighter makeup. But now, she wore heavy makeup. 
Nam: Why is she like this?
Chai: Knock knock.
Chai came in with a cup of coffee.
Nam: P'Chai, look at this picture of me.
Chai: Okay. 
She showed him the picture.
Chai: Ooh, whose's your friend?
He sipped his coffee.
Nam: That, is, Khun Tara.
He blurted the coffee out, nearly choking himself.
Chai: No, that can't be her. This girl is more lighter,colorful and she looks friendly. Khun Tara is darker,not colorful and she's mean. And this girl is prettier- well they're both quite pretty. But if you look at the-
Nam: P'Chai. 
Chai: Sorry.
Nam: I don't know why Khun Tara has changed. A lot!
Chai: That's not Khun Tara.
Nam: It is. I was there with her on the plane, and i remember her from that day.
Chai: Maybe she's a twin.
Nam: Mai. It can't be. She's an only child. Plus her birthday is on March 1, today.
Chai: How can you be so sure that this "Tara" is only one person?
Nam: Before she became like this, she was honest with me. She never bragged, she is humble,nice,polite. But what happened?
Chai: She doesn't seem polite now.
Nam: What happened to her?
Chai: Don't worry about it N'Nam. People change. Leave her be, okay?
Nam: Kah.
Chai: You're not going to let it go are you?
Nam: No.
Chai: Fine, when I find some time, I will go ask her family members. If they tell me anything, i will tell you.
Nam: Kah! Kop chai man nah kah P'Chai!
Chai: Alright, you should get some sleep now.
Nam: Kah!
 
Or: Khun Noo kah, would you like anything to eat today?
Tara: Mai Ba Or. Take a break today. I'm not hungry.
She was wiping the mascara tear stains from last night and applying new makeup.
Or: Okay. Oh.
Chai: Hello.
Or: Sawdee, uh are you a friend of Khun Noo?
Chai: Well, yes. Is she here?
Or: She's probably up stairs, let me fetch her.
Chai: No need. Actually i needed to ask you something.
Or: What is it boy?
Chai: Oh, Its uh. Why has Khun Tara become this way?
Or froze. Tara was secretly listening from her room.
Or: Oh, ker-
Tara: That is no one's business except mines. 
She went to face him.
Tara: Why are you here?
Chai: I need to talk to you.
Tara: I'm busy.
Chai: I don't care. We're going to talk.
She took her hand.
Or: unhand my Khun Noo!
Tara: Ba Or, its fine.
Or: Kah.
Tara: You can go. 
Or left and Tara yanked her hand out of Chai's but he grabbed it again. 
Tara: You don't have to grab me. We'll talk outside.
She walked him outside to a little house that Tara's father built for her to sleep in when she had friends over. 
Tara: What do you want to talk to me about?
Chai: Why have you become like this?
Tara: Like what? This is who I am.
Chai: No it's not. Its the person that's very the different from you.
Tara: No. Its me. This is who I am! 
Chai: No its not!
He pulled her closer to him. She pushed him back. 
Tara: You don't know me. 
Chai: I know you more than you think I do.
Tara: Alright. 
Chai: Why have you become this way? 
Tara: Why do you want to know so bad?
Chai: Just answer the question, and I will leave.
Tara: Because I am. Now leave.
Chai: That's not an acceptable answer, therefore, I will not leave.
Tara: What else do you need? I've already answered you.
Chai: It was unacceptable. 
Tara: I don't know what else to give to you then. Goodbye.
Chai: Why have you turned like this?
Tara: I've been like this my whole life. I'm leaving.
Chai: We're not done talking.
Tara: I have nothing to say anymore!
Chai: Well i do!
Tara: I don't want to talk to you!
Chai: I don't care I need to talk to you!
Tara: Let go!
Chai: Mai.
Tara: I said let go!
She shoved him but she fell backwards.
Tara: Ah!
He grabbed her by the waist but that only caused him to fall as well. They fell on the couch with Chai on top of Tara. It kinda looked like they were you know, making out. She opened her eyes. There he was, right on top of her. He stared at her for a second, she was beautiful. She also looked straight into his eyes. They were gorgeous. But she regain herself and pushed him off. 
Tara: If you have nothing else, you can go.
Chai didn't say anything else, he just got up and left. But before her did, he stopped.
Chai: Wait.
Tara: Alai?
Chai: Then explain this.
He showed her a picture from his phone of he and Namtarn.
Tara: How did you get this picture?
Chai: So you admit that you are this girl in the picture?
Tara: Why should I admit anything? 
Chai put his phone down and tried to take her hand but she slapped him.
Chai: Dai. You want me to use the hard way? Fine.
He pulled her to him and hugged her tightly.
Tara: Let go!
Chai: Is it true?! Are you this girl in the picture or not?! 
Tara: Why!! Do you want to know so much? 
Chai: Yes or no?!
Tara: No!
Chai: You just lied to me.
Tara: Either way you don't need to know. Let go of me.
Chai: Mai.
Tara: Poi Chan!
Chai: Mai Poi.
Tara: Poi.
Chai: Mai Poi.
Tara: Poi!!
Chai: Mai Poi.
Tara: Mai Poi Huh? Dai.
She gave him a corn-dog in the private part.
Chai: Ow!
Tara: Serves you right haha.
She tried walking out but she grabbed her leg and she fell.
Tara: Ah!
No one could hear her, the room was sound proof, you'd have to go to the control room to turn on the sound check and camera.
Chai held on her leg and dragged himself on top of her.
Tara: Get off of me!
Chai: Nee, stop yelling. This is nothing. If you don't tell me the truth, I will do worst than this. 
Tara didn't know what to do now. She just started screaming.
Tara: Help!! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! Help! He-
Chai covered her mouth.
Chai: Why are you yelling??
Tara: You're harassing me!! 
Chai: Shh!
He covered her mouth but she bit him and got up to the door. But she didn't open it right away. She felt a little dizzy. She shook her head but that made it worst.(Don't you get that weird feeling when you get up and you get all dizzy, no just me?) When she finally tried to open it, Chai pulled her back and she fell on the couch. He locked the door and took off his jacket. She backed up.
Tara: What are you doing?
It was just a tease, he wasn't gonna actually rape her. He just wanted to scare her into giving him the truth. He went closer. Tara back flipped off the couch and stood up. Chai came closer. She took a pillow and threw it at him. He started chasing her around. She was getting annoyed but deep down, she was having fun. She tripped and ended up on the couch again.This time, Chai climbed on top of her and unbuttoned his shirt and moved his hands from her waist to her shirt as if he was going to take it off. She covered her face with her arms and started crying.
Tara: Stop! Stop! I'm scared!! 
Chai: Nice try. Next thing is, you're going to kick me off and run. I'm not falling for that.
Tara: I'm not playing! Get off! 
Chai: Yeah okay.
Tara: Get off! Please....
He got off of her half way and uncovered her face. She was really crying. Now he got off of her.
Chai: Are you okay?
Tara: Leave me alone.
She tried walking away to the door but he grabbed her hand and twisted her around so he can hug her. 
Tara: Poi! Poi!
Chai: Chan Kor Tor. 
She stopped resisting. And listened.
Chai: I didn't know you were scared, really. Sorry.
She kind of, she didn't know what she was doing, ran her hand threw his back, hugging him back. But again regained herself and let go. She wiped her tears and left. He buttoned his shirt but forgot his jacket, he caught up to her. She again was feeling dizzy, but this time she fell back and was caught by Chai. 
Chai: Are you sure you're okay?
Tara: I am.
Chai: Let me hold your hand.
Tara: i can walk.
Chai: Not taking any chances.
They walked inside and saw 2 people, a man and his wife.
Tara: Khun Paw. 
Boy: Lu.

Boy: Lu, we have something to discuss. With you too Chai.
Tara: You know Khun Chai?
On: He does, very clearly.
Tara: Yai.
Pimon: Well are we gonna stand out here all day or go inside?
Chai: Khun Yai.
They all went inside and sat down.
Tara: What's going on?
On: Well we're here to talk about the marriage.
Tara: Marriage??
Chai asked his parents.
Chai: Khun Mae, Khun Paw what marriage?
Kam: You'll find out son.
Tara: But-
Boy: Tara relax. Its okay.
Tara: Can someone just tell me???
Boy: I and Khun Kam when we were in high school we were best friends. We dated these two women.
Thip: Which was me and your mother Chantara.
Boy: Right. And after a couple dates and fights-
Tara: Dad just get to the point.
Boy: Right. Well. Uhh.
Kam knew that Boy was gonna struggle telling his daughter. So he chimed in.
Kam: Chai, Tara. When your mother and I, Khun Boy and his wife got married, all four of us promised to have our child marry each other when they reach the age.
Tara stood up immediately. 
Tara: Alai?!?!
Chai: Chai Krup! We have to get married??? 
Thip: Chai calm down honey.
Chai: Khun Mae! You know I have a girlfriend!
Nam was smiling, if he got married, no more Belle, and she'd see Tara all day.
Tara: Khun Paw!
Boy: Honey a promise is a promise.
Tara: Oh like you've never broke any promises before!
Madam: Don't say that-
Boy: Its fine. What do you mean?
Tara: You promised you'd never get me involved with the arrange marriages ever! But you broke that promise!
Thip: Chantara. 
Kam: Calm down.
Boy: Honey if you think about it, arrange marriages lasts without a divorce-
Tara: I don't care! I will not marry!
She stormed into her room.
Chai: Khun Mae, I have a girlfriend already! 
Thip: You can break the news to her.
Chai: Khun Paw!
Kam: You are getting married with Chantara and that is final. End of discussion.
Chai: Khun Mae! I can't believe you are forcing me! You promised never to do that anymore!
Thip: You are getting married. Do I make myself clear?! Yes or No?
Chai was scared.
Chai: Y-yes.
Thip: Speak without stutter!
Chai: Yes!
Thip was once in the military. 
Kam: Honey you can be a little-
She narrowed her eyes at him.
Kam: yes dear.
He quickly shut up.
Tara: Why Dad?! WHY!!
She threw everything around. Talk about tantrum!
Tara: I will never marry him I will never marry him I will never marry him ARH!!!!!!! Arh! ARH!!!!!!!!
She got a new text.
Kate: Hey Girly! I miss u!! I'm here right now in Thailand! Can't wait to see you again! Well I'll be there in about an hour till then miss u love you bye! XOXO. 
Tara's anger went away. Only a third of it, the rest is still here. She had an idea to calm her down. Tara pulled the bow and arrow out from under bed along with her crossbow. Then, she went to her closet and grabbed the bat,daggers, and knives. She stuffed them into a dufflebag and went to her backyard.
Boy: Lu, where are you going?
Tara: Just the place I usually go to when I'm pissed as hell and take my anger out on the tree instead of people!
Boy: Oh dear.
On: Boy thats your daughter you need to teach her a lesson.
Boy: Mae, the more I tell her no, the more she does it. 
On: Well i can see why.
She was talking about Madam. She didn't like her either. 
Chai: Khun Luang Krup. What does she mean?
Boy: Well, she usually insteads of assaulting people. She takes her anger out on the trees. You know, shoots arrows and knives at it and hits it with a bat.
Chai gulped. Tara was furiously hitting the tree with the bat. Then she took her crossbow and aimed at the red dot on the tree but the doorbell rung.
Tara: Ba Kate.
She ran, jumped over the buckets, slid under the table and stopped anyone from getting the door.
Boy: Who is it?
Tara: You'll see.
She opened the door and there she was. Kate. She walked in and hugged her.
Kate: I missed you!!
Tara: I miss you too!
Boy: Kate.
Kate: Ow, P'Boy! Khun Mae!
On: Sawadee Lu!
She went to hug her brother and mother.
Kate: Khun Thip, P'Kam!
Those were her friends too since high school.
Thip: Its nice to see you again Kate.
Kate: Yup, Its great to be back home.
Tara: What you're staying here?
Kate: yes!
Tara: AHh!!
She jumped and hugged her. Chai was enjoying her. She's never been this cheerful!
Boy: I'll have the maids clean a room for you.
Kate: Thanks bro. So why is the whole family here? Whats going on?
Tara's anger seemed to have come back.
On: Tara is going to get married with Lu Chai.
Kate: Whaat!! That is so great!
Tara gave her the What-I'm-being-forced-get-back-on-my-side face.
Kate: That is so wrong! 
Boy: Kate, uh, a word please.
Kate: No Tara is old enough to make decisions on her own and she is above 18 she does not need to be ordered and forced.
Boy: Well thank you everyone for coming we'll talk more tomorrow.
Boy: Kate, now a word. 
They all left
Kate: P'Boy, you can't force Tara into marrying someone.
Boy: Kate, she needs to. For her mother.
Kate thought and talked it over, she agreed to convince Tara into marrying.
Kate met with Tara in her room.
Tara: Can you believe that Paw is trying to force me into marriage.
Kate: I think its a great idea if you marry.
Tara: What?! Is that what you and Paw talked about? He convinced you on his side so you can come and convince me??
Kate: Yes. But, i think its best.
Tara: How?
She talked to her teeth.
Kate: Well,Marriages by choice never lasts without a divorce. According to studies, arrange marriages has the least amounts of divorces.
Tara: I can really care less.
Kate: Do this for your mother.
Tara eased her mind.
Kate: She's proud of you, when she got married, she wanted you to marry Thip's son, Chai. 
Tara: So if I agree to this. Mother will be proud.
Kate: Yes. And don't worry, I will always be at your side.
Tara: Thanks Ba Kate. You're the best.
Outside, Madam was listening.
Madam: Not for long.
Kate: So you agree with the whole marriage thing?
Tara: I guess. Yeah.
Kate: That's my girl.
 
Nam: P'Chai! When will you tell-
There was Chai and Belle, tears on her face. Nam listened carefully.
Chai: I'm sorry Belle, but my mother, you know how she is. I can't say no. Even if I try she will never let me out of it.
Belle: So you're just gonna dump me to get married with her?!
Chai: I'm not going to dump you, I can never. Look, I'm going to be married but after a couple of months and call it quits. 
Belle: It doesn't matter if you have a divorce. You're going to eventually fall for her. I know it!
Chai went and hugged her.
Chai: I'm never going to love any other woman besides you. 
Belle: Really?
Chai: Yeah, and she never wanted to marry me either so it won't be long till we divorce.
Belle: I love you.
Chai: I love you too.
Nam: Yuck. 
 
Tara: Khun Paw?
Boy: Sweetie. How are you feeling-
Tara: I'll get married.
Boy: What?
Tara: Ba Kate talked me into it. I'll get married.
Boy: Did she now?
Kate: Yes she did.
Boy: I'm glad. Your mother is very proud of you.
Tara: Kah.
Boy: Well get some sleep. We'll talk more tomorrow. 
Tara walked to her room.
Kate: Well, what did I tell you?
Boy: Very impressive Kate.
Kate: Its what I do. 
Boy: How was the kids?
Kate: It was great.
Boy: Glad to hear that.
Madam: Khun Katiya. 
Boy: You, two know each other?
Madam: Of course darling. Since College. 
Boy: Kate?
Kate: Of course. How can I forget.
Madam: Its a pleasant feeling meeting you again.
Boy: Well I'll leave you ladies to chit-chat.
Kate: Bye P'Boy.
Once he left Madam grabbed Kate's collar and Kate held out her fist.
Madam: Don't think I'll ever let go to what you did.
Kate: You little whore. You slept with my boyfriend.
Madam: Thats not my fault boys find me irresistible. 
Kate: Bullshit. You drugged him into sleeping with you.
Kate slapped Madam's hand off her collar and went to Tara's room.
Tara: What was that about?
Kate: Just a little talk with my ex-best friend.
Tara: Ex?
Kate: yes. How can I still be best friends with that whore?
Tara: What happened?
Flashback and Story~
Kate: We were best friends. Kema was envious of me because my boyfriend was her crush and she didn't have a boyfriend.
Kate: Kema! Come here!
Kema: Okay Kate!
Kema faked her smile.
Kate: This is my boyfriend Saran. 
Kate: Kema had always had a crush on Saran.
Kema: Hello Khun Saran.
Saran: Hi.
He kissed Kate on the cheek. 
.................
Kate: Skipping ahead. One of my other ex friends called me and said she saw my boyfriend sleeping with another girl.
Kate: Saran! SARAN!
Kema turned around.
Kate: Kema. 
Kema raised an eyebrow.
Kate: You little whore!
She slapped Kema and dragged her out of bed to beat her up.

Tara: I knew something was wrong with her. I never hated someone that quickly. 
Kate: Yup. Well get some sleep kiddo. Tomorrow's a big day.
Tara: I know. Don't remind me.
The next day Tara,her dad,Madam,Kate and Grandma On went to Chai's house.
Thip: So shall we discuss this?
Boy: My daughter already agreed to marry Chai.
Chai gave her a what-i-thought-you-hated-me face. She just ignored it.
Kam: That's a good girl. Chai?
Chai: I- I agree. To marry Khun Tara.
Tara gave him the okay-but-if-you-touch-me-in-any-way-i-will-rip-you-to-shred face.
Thip: I'll call the wedding planner.
Pimon: No need daughter I've already did.
WP: Shall we get started?
They checked out the dates and where the wedding should be. It was going to be this Friday. Thip and Kate didn't want it that big of deal so they plan it at her house. But the dads invited lots and lots of people.

Tara: yes I've made my decision. Anything for Khun Mae.
Boy: I'm proud of you.
Thip: Now let the groom and bride to spend some time alone together. Chai Tara go in Chai's bedroom!
There was only Tara and Chai in the room with the adults listening.

She gave him an annoyed look.
Chai: Okay then-
Tara: Yes.
Chai: Well, uh do you like going out?
Tara: Well-
There was a spider on Chai's shoulder. 
Chai: What? What?
Tara: You have, you have a spider.
Chai: Spider? 
He looked on his shoulder, facing him was the hairiest tarantula on his shoulder.
Chai: Ah!!!!!!

I, Khun Boy, Tara's father is happy to let my beloved daughter marry Chai, Khun Kamnan and Khun Thip's son. The wedding will be located at Khun Kam and Khun Thip's resident. 
 
Thip: Thats all?
Kate: Yes. Now click print and put 300.
Thip: Okay.
The printer started to shake.
Kate: How many copies did you print out?
Thip: 300. 
Kate checked the computer and her jaw dropped.
Kate: You didn't put 300 you put 3000!!!
Thip: Uh Oh.
Suddenly the printer blasted out 3000 copies of the invitations. 
Kate: I hatte you.
Boy: Hey ladies-
They saw the mess but the girls didn't see them.
Kam: Lets sneak outside and hope they don't see us.
Kam went to his car and drove off where as Boy was running outside when he saw Tara who was outside sitting on the grass starring up at the sky. He knew. Her face was emotionless. He went out to comfort his daughter.
Boy: I miss her too honey.
Tara: Yeah.
He sat down next to her and she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Tara: Khun Paw.
Boy: Hm?
Tara: Promise me? That you will not forget about Khun Mae.
Boy took his daughter's hand.
Boy: I will never forget your mother ever, not even in a million years. 
Tara: Promise?
Boy: I promise with all my heart.
Tara: Thank you. You can go now. I-I'd like to be alone.
Boy: Okay.
Her father left and came Madam.
Madam: He'll forget about that woman in no time honey don't worry.
Tara: Go away. Get out of our life.
Madam: Why? And miss out? Not a chance. My point was. Once I and your father marry, he'll forget all about your worthless little mother.
Tara got up and grabbed Madam's shirt.
Tara: I don't care what you say about me, but don't ever insult my mother.
Madam: Ta Mai? She's worthless!
Tara pushed Madam to the ground right when Boy walked into the conflict. Madam acted all innocent and scared.
Madam: Honey Kah. I was trying to be friendly with Tara but she pushed me down.
Boy: Tara. Is that true?
Tara: Oh yes. She was insulting my mother, that's REALLY friendly.
You could tell that was sarcasm. Boy knew now. But didn't want Madam to be upset.
Boy: Go back inside darling.
Madam: But she pushed me.
Boy grabbed her hand.
Boy: I don't care. Next time do not speak about my wife.
Tara was happy. Her father was on her side again. Madam angrily walked inside.
Tara: Thanks Khun Paw.
He nodded and walked inside too. Tara sat back down. Mike came out 5 minutes later.
Mike: Why are you so mean to Madam? She's your mother you know?
Tara: You obviously DON'T know.
Mike: What's that supposed to mean? She's about to become my mother-in-law. Why are you so mean to your mother?
Tara laughed.
Tara: She's not my mother.
Mike: Okay whatever you say. You don't have to be that mean to her.
Tara: It doesn't matter, soon I'll get married and never have to see her again. 
Mike: So you're also happy marrying me?
Tara: Mai.
Mike: Oh come on. You are.
Tara: Mai. 
Mike: yes! yes!
He tickled her as she laughed so hard then they both fell down. He turned her way and wiped the hair from her face. 
Belle: TARA!!!!

Belle: Tara!!
She walked to Tara,picked her up by the shirt and slapped her. Chai's jaw dropped and then went to shield Tara. 
Chai: What are you doing Belle?
Belle: P'Chai! Don't tell me you have fallen for this freaky gothic chick!!
Chai: I haven't fallen for her! We're about to get married.
Belle: P'Chai!
Chai: We've discussed this already Belle.
Belle: Mai! Mai! You aren't getting married. Not with her! Mai! MAI!!!
Thip: What's going on back here? Belravee. 
Belle starred Thip straight in the eyes.
Thip: Belle, Lu Chai is to marry Lu Tara-
Belle: Daughter? She's already your daughter?! Stupid!
Chai: Don't insult my mother!
Belle: Ta Mai?! Stupid! Stupid! 
He took her hand and dragged her into the courtyard.
Belle: Stupid Stupid Stupid!!
Chai: Belle! Yot! Stop it right now!
Belle: Mai! Stupid! 
Chai: We're over!
Belle immediately stopped.
Belle: What?!
Chai: We're over. 
Belle: Mai! You said you would divorce her as soon as you could and get back with me!
Chai: Well you've crossed the line!
He walked away but she held onto him.
Belle: P'Chai! Mai! I will not let you go!
Chai took her hands off and faced her.
Chai: Sorry. We're through. I will marry Khun Tara and, and be by her side.
Now he walked back inside. Nam came and comforted him.
Nam: I'm proud of you. 
Chai: Not now N'Nam.
Nam hugged him. He couldn't help and hug her too.
Belle: Mai Mai Mai! 
Madam: Pss. Khun Belle.
Belle: Who's there?
Madam walked out from the trees.
Belle: Who are you?
Madam: It doesn't matter but we're similar to each other.
Belle: I'm nothing like you. I'm younger. More prettier.
Madam: Ha, I meant, we share the same enemy.
Belle: Tara.
Madam: Chai. 
Belle: What do want?
Madam: I want Tara, gone. And if we work together, that task may be accomplished.
Belle gave that some thought.
Belle: Count me in.
 
Kate: You okay? Hey. Hey talk to me. What did she do to you?
Tara: Slapped me.
Kate: Its not that bad. Girls always do that.
Tara: But I didn't fight back.
Kate: Oh my..
Tara always fought back, she never picked a fight with anyone but whoever hits her first she will continue.
Tara: I always fight back.
Kate: Maybe you were scared that Khun Thip would say something.
Tara: No. There was something that made me not fight back.
~Flashback~
Chai's jaw dropped and then went to shield Tara. (Tara starred at him, not taking her gaze off of him. His tight grasp on her arms and his heart beating through his chest traveled to her back.)
~Reality~
Kate: Earth to Tara.
Tara: Yeah you're right. I was afraid his mom was going to say something. 
Kate: You're sure?
Tara: Yes. I'm gonna go home now.
Kate: Good, you have to go see your dress tomorrow.
Tara: Kay.
Tara drove home and went to her room, she changed into her Tee Shirt and sweats and slept.
 
Thip: Oh, rise and shine!
She opened up the curtains and her husband screamed which caused him to fall off the bed.
Thip: Honey, the wedding is the day after tomorrow! Now do what you have to do. 
Kam: What DO i have to do?
Thip: Hm, lets see, well there's nothing- Oh Yeah! Call P'Boy and get ideas for the food. And then, deliver these invitations to the people on these lists.
Kam: Wow thats a lot of names.
Thip: I made the invitations. 
Kam: yes, yes dear.
He got dressed and drove off.
 
Kate: Tara. Tara. Hey Tara!
Tara: Whaaat??
She murmured out.
Kate: Time to get up.
Tara: Wha- Its only- 7:00!!! 
Kate: P'Luhkan, my personal stylist and designer is only available from 7:00 to 10 for us. Now get your ass up and get dressed.
Tara: Uhhhhhh!
Kate: You have 10 minutes.
Tara ran out of bed, took a shower, got changed and ran downstairs.
Kate: Well, you're a minute 46 seconds early but that's perfect. Lets go.
Kate pulled the car out and drove to pick up Khun Thip. After that they sped away to Chaing Mai and into P'Luhkan's shop "Dress for Success".
Kate: P'Luhkan!
Luhkan: N'Kate!
They blew air-kisses.
Luhkan: SO whose the lucky lady that's getting married? Is it you young lady?
Thip: I'm flattered, people tend to say I have a complexion of a 23 year old. But no.
Kate: Yeah Um, Tara. My niece is getting married.
Tara walked in and Luhkan seriously had a what-the-hell-is-she-wearing face.
(Her outfit)
 

Luhkan: Oh my.
Kate: What?
Luhkan: We've got work to do.
He took out some dresses he chose last night and laid them out.
Tara: Are there any other, you know Different colored wedding dresses?
Thip: Tara, its a wedding not a costume party.
Tara: But this is fashion. There's no rule in fashion or anywhere that says you cannot have, you know a different colored wedding dress.
Luhkan: You are absolutely right. How did you know that?
Tara: I'm pretty sure I've read it somewhere.
Luhkan: Well, what color did you exactly have in mind dear?
Tara: Well, any color of course, all except pink,white, but preferably black.
Thip: He's not going to-
Luhkan: I think i may have some.
Thip: Or not.
Luhkan made a i-think-you-should-stick-to-white face when he brought the dress over. Tara was gonna say Just Right but she heard a voice.
Mom: I know You like black, but you should stick to white.
The voice went away.
Tara: You know what? White can't be that bad.
Luhkan: Great choice. I'll go put this away.
Kate: What changed your mind girly?
Tara: Khun Mae.
Kate looked around the room and smiled.
Luhkan: Here are some long back, short front style wedding dresses. How bout you try some of these on? 
Tara tried the first 2 and decided long back and short front wasn't her thing.

Luhkan: How about the mermaid style wedding dress?
Tara: I do not need to try that on, Mermaid style isn't my thing.
Luhkan: Well tell me then honey what is your style?
Kate: How bout the corsets?
Tara: Yeah lets try that.
She tried on this beautiful corset wedding dress which she loved, but the voice came back.
Mom: Honey this is beautiful, but don't you think you can go for something formal?
Tara: You know, how about something formal?
Luhkan: I've got just the thing!
She tried on the one she and her mom both loved.
Thip: That is absolutely gorgeous.
Kate: Nice work P'Luhkan.
Luhkan: I'll give it to you free free.
Kate: Free Free Huh P??? Thank you thank you!!
Luhkan: Mhhh no big deal.
Thip: N'Luhkan Nahh, would you do the honor of coming to the wedding? 
Luhkan: Sure when is it?
Thip: This Friday Kah.
Luhkan: Perfect! 
Tara starred at herself in the mirror. The voice talked to her again.
Mom: You look beautiful my daughter.
Tara: Thank you Khun Mae.
Kate: Huh?
Tara: Oh nothing, just. Never mind. 
 
Chai: Belle, can we meet up? I need to talk to you.
Belle: What for?
Chai: Just meet me at the park near the lake today at 8:00 okay?
Belle: Okay.
She drove to the park and stood in the bench where Chai was standing at.
Belle: Well I'm here.
Chai turned around.
Chai: I love you Belle.
Belle: DO you?
Chai: Yes, with all of my heart!
Belle: Then why did you-
Chai: I was stupid. I don't know what got into me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry,I love you Belle.
Belle: I love you too.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and was about to kiss him, but he slightly pushed her away.
Chai: I don't think that's the right thing to do.
Belle: We're too lovers, kissing, whats wrong?
Chai: Listen I'm sorry, I'm about to get married. I just, bye.
He walked off leaving Belle standing there, clutching her handbag.

Tara got a call from Kate.
Tara: What?
Kate: hey you need to spend the night here at Chai's house. Just come here okay? You're going to like, practice sleeping here so you can get used to it.
Tara: But I was sleeping!
Kate: Just come here!
Tara drank a Rockstar and drove off.
Tara: I'm here-
The place was decorated with gold ribbons, a red carpet on the stairs. And flowers on the pillars.
Tara: Where do you want me to sleep?
Thip: Oh in P'Chai's room.
Tara: No , I'm fine with the floor. And besides we're not actually married just yet-
Thip: Practice, so you will get used to it okay?
Tara: Okay.
She walked to Chai's room and just crashed on the sofa. He came out of the shower and saw her on the sofa. 
Chai: Khun. Khun.
She was sound asleep. She looked quite cute asleep. Chai climbed in his bed but his mom came in.
Thip: Why aren't you two sleeping together?
Chai: We're not actually-
Thip: I do not care, put her on the bed.
Chai: Khun Mae-
Thip: Now.
He had not choice, he picked her up and put her on the bed.
Tara awoke the next morning to a familiar voice.
When you truly love someone, you'll never be able to let go of them.
It was her mother's saying when she was little. 
Flashback~
Tara was in bed with her mom. The last night she was able to spend with her. 
Mom: When you truly love someone, you'll never be able to let go of them. 
Tara: I love you Khun Mae, I'll never ever let you go.
Tara's mom cried a little. It was only 6:00. they covered Tara's windows so she's think it was nighttime. 
Mom: Tara, lu?
Tara: Kah?
Mom: Do you love me?
Tara: Yes.
Mom: Say it.
Tara: I love you Khun Mae.
She wanted to hear her say that for the last time. Tara's mom nearly squeezed her when she gave her the final hug.
Tara: Sleep my dear.
Tara: Kah. Goodnight mommy.
She waited till Tara's eyes closed completely, she was a quick sleeper. 
Mom: I'm not going to say goodbye because we will see each other again.
Boy: Darling....
Mom: I'm ready.
He dad drove her mom to the hospital. 
Doctor: Khun Tha, we've tried everything, chemos, blood tests, but that cancer seems to be growing bigger. 
Mom: Just get it over with. I've said my goodbyes. It's my time anyways.
Boy held his wife's hand and softly cried. They put her in the room and instructed Boy to call them as soon as she, passes on. He sat there with his wife till her final breath. He cried and cried. 
Mom: Don't worry, we'll see each other again. All three of us.
Boy: I know we will.
He sat there talking with her trying to hold back tears. Then, it was time. She started growing sleepy, stopped talking for minutes. At home, Tara went downstairs to get a glass of water. She poured water in and walked to her room, but the glass dropped and shattered into a million pieces. Tara's mother took her final breath, and went to sleep forever. Her hand that was clutching with Boy's let go. He put his head down and called the nurse then went home. The next morning Tara ran down with her locket that she was going to give to her mom as a thank you for being the best mother ever gift. But when she went down, something felt wrong. Everyone was wearing black, faces down. There was so much sorrow in the house. 
Tara: Ba Or. What's wrong? 
Or: Go see Khun Paw Nah Khun Noo.
Her father stepped out of his office holding a picture of her mother. Tara immediately dropped the locket and it broke in half.
Tara: Khun Mae!!!!!!!
She screamed and tried running out the door but Ba Or caught her and held her tightly. Tara was screaming and crying. Wanting to go to her mother. Her father began to feel dizzy, then fainted. Son and the guys helped him into his room.
Tara: Mae! Mae! Mae!!
Reality~
Tara: Khun Mae............. Khun Mae.
Chai: Khun?
He looked at her.
Tara: KHUN MAE!!!!!
She screamed and sat up causing Chai to freak out and fall off the bed.
Chai: ARH!!!!!!!!
Tara: Just a dream. Just a dream.
Chai: Nee Khun what's your problem??
She looked at him. She looked at the bed and herself then Chai.
Tara: Arh!!!
Chai: Arh!!
Tara: What did you do to me?!! Arh!
Chai: Calm down Khun!
Tara jumped back in bed and closed her eyes and ears.
Tara: This is a nightmare! This a nightmare inside a nightmare!! Wake up!!
Chai uncovered her ears. 
Chai: This is real! And don't worry, i didn't do anything. My mom told me to put you there.
Tara: Oh. 
She climbed out of bed and went outside. There were golden ribbons,tall pillars,red carpets,a cake table, and a whole bunch more.
Kate: How do you like it???
Tara felt dizzy and suddenly fainted. Mike came out of his room and caught her.
Kate: A simple No would have been fine.
Thip: What's wrong with her?
They ran up and put her on the bed. She woke up 30 minutes later.
Kate: Tara honey are you okay?
Tara: Huh?
Thip: You passed out? Are you gonna be alright?
Tara: yeah, I was just tired.
Thip: You sure sweetie?
Kate: That didn't look like you were tired and just fell asleep, you literally passed out. Do you need to go to the doctors?
Tara: Woah, thats okay. I'm fine. 
Thip: Are you able to "marry" tomorrow?
Tara: yeah I'm fine.
Kate: Try standing up.
She got up and stood.
Tara: See I'm fine.
She tried walking but lost balance and fell back.
Kate: Woah, okay you are not fine. Lets go see the doctors.
They went to the doctors and she got a checkup. The doctor was ready to see them.
Thip: How is she dock? Is she pregnant?
They all starred at her.
Thip: Too soon.
Doctors: No, she's not pregnant. She's perfectly fine its just because she's tired and stressful. 
Kate: What's wrong honey?
Tara: You know, just casual before marriages feeling. I'll be fine.
Kate: Sure?
Tara: Totally. Khun Mor told me to get a few hours nap when I get back home and i should be okay.
Kate: Okay. Then lets go. Thank you Doc.
They drove home and Tara immediately slept for 5 hours straight.
