Chapter 3/12
A
she took her first step as she got excited to see Aum again, but she stopped in the middle when the man turn around the person she was expecting to see turned out to be an unexpected visitor.
he turn around, unbelieving if who was just she called...
Ploy: you... Mis-... Mister... mr. Thrisadee... (and why would she felt stuttering the moment she saw him?)
Por: Ms. Chermarn...
Ploy: (she frowned and she walk towards him.) what are you doing here? ha-how did you know where i live?
Por: application form...
Ploy: i see... (she stopped and still wondering why he's here.) what do you want, sir?
Por: annoyance.
Ploy: what? (she certainly didn't miss that word. and he comes here to say that he's annoyed?)
Por: annoyance of you to call me "sir" even if we're not at work.
Ploy: ah... i thought you're telling me all over again that im the most annoying person you've ever met.
Por: you are... and what makes me annoyed is that you've been absent for days. is that mean im going to deduct your salary? or fire you?
Ploy: (he was harsh... his words just pissed her and it made her dont want to talk it further but since he needed answer, she'll have to tell him.) neither the two... i just resigned, don't you know? i passed my resignation to Mr. Yamnam and if you want to know if its true, why dont you ask him yourself. goodnight, Mr. Thrisadee... you just made my night!
she left him, definitely didn't care what he'll say to her. though she hurried to come up stairs, she never heard him stopping her. she thought herself that she was expecting him to stopped her and maybe... plead? impossible. that won't happen.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"hello...?", Vicky answered her phone after 3 times of ringing. it was her mother. she across her right arm, wrapping against her chest. "...why did you call?... no... im not interested to join that party... why dont you invite someone else?... what? you called him? i have to confirm it first... if he's not... it means NO... goodbye for now, talk to you soon..."
she turned off her phone just so her mother wouldn't call and annoyed her with some cocktail party invitation. she's not interested to go at the parties where her mother's there. of course, there are medias everywhere and she's concern about her image and her mother's the opposite. it felt like her own mother destroys her own image.
but why would her boyfriend, Por, accepted her invitation. she doesnt want him to. Por knows that she hates her mother and in the past... if she's not going, he doesnt either. but now? -wait, she needed to call him first. she turned on her phone and speed dial his number.
Por: what's up?
Vicky: is it true that my mother called you?
Por: yeah, she called this afternoon... why?
Vicky: then are you really coming to the party where she invited you?
Por: Vicky, she invited us... she wants us to go and that's why i accepted it.
Vicky: so you're really coming????
Por: of course...
Vicky: (and now she had no choice.) so... where are you right now?
Por: going home...
Vicky: aren't you planning to visit me here at the set?
Por: Vicky... im tired from work and its already late.
Vicky: fine...
he was driving and he couldn't but think about her, not Vicky... but Ploy. he just cant understand but on how he felt rejected by her awhile ago... he doesn't want her to quit, subconsciously that's what he wanted to say.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"party??? why would you have a party tomorrow?.... no, i couldn't come.... because... you obviously invited him... you always know that my father and i are not in good terms... Cherry... Cherry, listen... i couldn't come and that's fina-..... what?... i'll call her then...", Chakrit hanged up the phone as soon as Cherry told her that she just got back from the States and now she recently sent some invitations to her cocktail party that she even organized.
Chakrit's long-time friend, her unexpected comeback made him not so excited after all. besides, he doesnt like surprises. they became close because of their families are both business partners in other businesses. other than that, they're in the same school which Cherry also took arts and she's now a well-known sculptor and a curator of Thailand's artsy.
she got back 2 years ago just to have a vacation, Chakrit introduces Ploy to her.
and now, she's back again... all of a sudden he just found out that she sent some invitations not only to his father... but also Ploy.
he answered his phone and he thought that it might be Cherry again. but it was Ploy.
Chakrit: sorry... i thought you're her.
Ploy: its alright. listen, speaking of her... i got an invitation from her. its tomorrow already.
Chakrit: i know... we've already talked and she wanted me to come.
Ploy: you're always like that, you keep rejecting her party invitations...
Chakrit: you know why i always do...
Ploy: your father again... im kinda tired of the same old stories, Krit... anyways, are you going to fetch me tomorrow? im gonna buy a dress for the party...
Chakrit: you're really coming to her party???
Ploy: yeah...
after they talked over the phone, she cant wait to see Cherry soon. though she's excited enough to see Cherry again, she's still feel half pissed and half wondering of why Por came. she know for sure that he didn't came to see her to fire her. she regret of how her actions showed towards him, it was still his fault.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
she plans to fix herself today for the party and Chakrit had no choice to go either. they decided to go check out the clothes department and other stores at the mall. he's not planning to go and buy new clothes for a certain event, but Ploy forced him to. she knows that he doesnt like going out in the malls, she encourages him.
Ploy: Krit, let's buy this one... (he picked up the blazer.) i think it looks good on you.
Chakrit: and then, im just gonna used it one time? Ploy, you know that i dont like these typical clothes.
Ploy: but its for the party tonight.
Chakrit: i dont need a new clothes, okay...
Ploy: if you're not going to buy... Cherry will not be please to see you.
Chakrit: its fine with me... look, why do you need to go to the party even if you knew that i dont wanna go there.
Ploy: i have my reasons... if you're not coming to the party, i'll still come to see Cherry and her new artworks.
Chakrit: that's absurd, you know that we can always meet up with Cherry if she got time to visit us.
Ploy: but its too much for her. besides, i'll be needing her help to find me some work.
Chakrit: what?
Ploy: Krit, you're having problems of getting a job. Cherry's the answer. i also quit in my job, so i might asked some help from her.
she was right and it was too late for him to realize that their problems could be helped by Cherry. he just smile and when she knew why he was smiling, this time she convinced him.
at the mall, Por was just strolling around the mall while waiting for his friend who just got back from the States. but as he passes by at the store, he saw some familiar faces. it was her and the resort owner's son who was having fun by choosing some clothes.
he couldn't understand the way how they laugh at each other, he got pissed as he saw her whining around at the mall and forgot about her job. flirt and flaunt, that's what he wanted to describe her. his phone was ringing and his friend finally arrived, the he left.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in part B, Ploy and Por meets again... have sudden sweet kiss... XD
he knew. she already convince his son for a couple of times but it didn't work out.) uh.... ye-
