Episode 6, part 4
-Bangkok ball
Neetha, Dome, Kateeya, Theela, and Nanny Keojai took their seats at the beautifully decorated round table. The center piece in the middle of the table was a huge vase holding two dozen red and black roses. The wine glasses were glazed with black glitter and the two long elegant candles litted the slightly dimmed ball room. Their table was about five hundred feet away from the main dance floor.
The reporters and tv crew swarmed around the entrance of the ball, waiting to interview and photograph the important guests as they come through the double doors. Anneetha was feeling very excited as she watch all the difference faces come in. She took a little sip of her sweet wine. She couldn't help, but think of Anouwat, wishing that he was there with her.
Nanny Keojai - Khun noo, how are you feeling? Are you enjoying this so far?
Neetha - Ohh yess! Nanny... everything is so beautiful. I'm so glad I decided to attend the ball tonight.
Theela - See, P'Nee! It's not that bad right?
Oh, it will be soon, Kateya thought and smirked at the thought of chaos.
Neetha knew that Theela has a crush on Dome and that she has been trying to get his attention. Tonight, she wanted to help Theela and push them together.
Neetha - Dome, maybe later, you should ask Thee to dance. She's a very good dancer, you know?
Ayyyah! P'Nee!! I dunno how to dance, Thee cried out and blushed a little.
She then whispered to Neetha, P'Nee. I'm a little shy.... don't tease me. Anneetha then whispered back, Nong Nee, tonight, I'm going to make Dome your prince charming. I know you have a little crush on him, and this is the perfect place. You two can dance the night away. Hehehe. P'Nee! Theela pouted, but gave a little giggle.
Dome - Uhhhh..sure. Only if Theela want to dance with me. (I'd rather dance with you, Anneetha)
Kateeya sat there and rolled her eyes to the playfulness of the three friends.
Nanny - I wonder when they are going to start serving some food. I'm hungry!
Neetha - Aww, Nanny Keojai. You were too busy running around helping everyone else. You should take care of yourself first.
Nanny - Oyy, Khun noo. Nanny is happy to help you and the family. It's my duty and my pleasure.
Neetha - I know, Nanny.. you're so sweet.
Kateeya wanted to throw up after hearing all the sweet talks and playfulness. She kept looking over to the doorway, and was looking on to see if Anouwat and Pimpida have arrived yet.
Dome - Well, Nanny.. since you are hungry, would you like me to go grab you some of those huor'dervs over there?
Nanny - Yes, Dome. That would be nice. Thank you.
Dome - Okay, I'll bring some for everyone okay?
Theela - Okay, P'Dome. Thank you.
Kateeya - I don't want anymore. I'm too excited to watch the show.
Theela - You mean the dance performance?
Kateeya - Yes, yes.. the dance performance. You have no idea, hehe
Kateeya eyed the door again and was glad to see Anouwat and Pimpida walk through. Pimpida had her arm around Anouwats arm. Anneetha's attention was at the hostess, so she still had no idea that her prince charming came to the ball as well.
As Dome left the table, the hostess started talking into the microphone. The reporters and photographers continued snapping pictures of rich and beautiful people.
Hostess - Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 10th annual ball of Bangkok. I am pleased to present to you tonight's exquisite theme; Romanticism. Tonight is for lovers; it is the night for magic and romance. We have a splendid performance for your pleasure in a few minutes. But before we start, I'd like to introduce to you, the sponsor of our ball, the man who made it all possible, Mr. Khammee Anajath. Unfortunately he is unable to attend tonight's event, so he sent his son, Anouwat Anajath instead. Please welcome Khun Anouwat on stage!
Neetha gasped when she heard his name. Then her heart and body shook with excitement and eagerness when she saw Anouwat get on stage. As Anouwat got on stage, reporters and photographers went crazy trying to get a good photograph of him. Anouwat tried to force a happy face and a smile as the lights flashed at him. Neetha had a big smile on her face. Her Anouwat looked so handsome.
Wow.. wishes do come true, she thought.
Hostess - Khun Anouwat, Goodevening. We'd like to thank you and your family for sponsoring these annual events.
Anouwat thanked her and continued to smile for the cameras. With all the lights flashing at him, he had no idea that Neetha was sitting across him, on the oppisite side of the main floor.
Hostess - Since tonight's theme is romanticism, I'm sure you have a date?
After the hostess said that, Pimpida invited herself on stage.
Hostess - Ladies and gents, please welcome Ms. Pimpida Jensen!!
Anneetha's smile then started to fade. Her heart started to beat fast. She tried to stay calm as she kept her eyes on the stage, trying not to show any emotions.
It's okay, Anneetha. Maybe he had to bring Pimpida as his date for show. He's an importabt person at the party after all, she tried to convince herself as she kept her eyes on the stage.
A concerned Theela took a hold of her sister's hand, rubbed it and tried to comfort her. Nanny started patting her back.
Anouwat wanted to just leave the stage, but he couldn't. He didn't want to make a scene. As he looked onto the crowd of people, to his surprise, his eye caught Anneetha sitting there watching him. Her face was filled with disappointed as she tried to force a smile. Anouwat couldn't believe it. He then started to panick.
The hostess then held the microphone to Pimpida's mouth so she could make a comment.
Pimpida - Thank you everyone. It is a romantic night indeed. It's like a fairytale for me tonight, all of my dreams have come true.
Pimpida extended out her arm and waved her left hand to the crowd. The ring on her finger shimmered in the light. The crowd let out a gasp and the photographers snapped pictures.
Pimpida - Yes, ladies and gents. Anouwat just proposed to me on our way here!! And I said yes!!
A stunned Anouwat looked at the ring and slightly shook his head. He then glanced over to Anneetha whose face was filled with hurt. She tried so hard to hold her hot tears behind her eyes, but they started to roll down.
Hostess - Wow!! That is soo romantic, Khun Anouwat!! Is it true??
The host then held the microphone to Anouwat's mouth. All kinds of thoughts was going through his head. He didn't know what to do, he didn't know what to say. He didn't want to create a scene, embarrass his father, and he was man enough to not embarrass Pimpida in front of the whole nation, so after a slight pause, he shut and open his eyes and softly and reluctantly said yes, it's true. Anouwat's heart dropped down to his feet as he looked over to Anneetha and saw her tears.
Anneetha's world came tumbling down. Eveything went into slow motion as she watched the man of her dreams confess his engagement to another woman. She felt as if someone had taken a knife and sliced through her heart. Then all of a sudden, she had the urge to throw up. She quickly unlocked herself and rolled backwards to go in the back hallway to the restroom.
Khun noo! she cried out and tried to take a hold on Annetha's chair to push her. P'Nee! Theela stood up to get her sister.
Through shakey voice and tears, Anneetha told them she can go by herself and proceeded to push herself away.
Neetha - I just need to go to the bathroom, I'll be okay. Please stay here. I need to go alone.
Khun noo!! she yelled and sat down, knowing to obey her wishes. Theela felt so bad for her sister, but reluctantly sat down herself.
Kateeya was pleased. She sat there sipped her wine and laughed inside herself.
Anouwat saw that Anneetha was leaving, so he didn't care anymore and ran off the stage, going through crowds trying to get to Anneetha.
Anouwat - Anneetha!!!! Wait!!!!!!
Anouwat then caught up with Annetha in the hallway. He moved in front of her, blocking her way.
Anouwat - Anneetha, baby... it's not what you think.
A crying Anneetha tried to ignore him and push herself the other way.
Anouwat - Anneetha... it's not what you think. I can explain!!
Anneetha - It's not what I think, it's what I saw! You're a pig, and a liar. Get out of my way, now!
Anouwat - Anneetha, no! Please let me explain.
Anneetha - Shut up! I don't want to hear you anymore. You lied to me.. you lied to her. You bastard. I opened up to you. I'm such an idiot for believing you again.
Anouwat - No, Anneetha! I...I... love you.
Anneetha - You love??!!! You just proposed to your girlfriend!! You fucking liar!!
Anouwat then grabbed at her chair to turn her around, but she pushed his hand away.
Anneetha - Stop it!! Just because I'm disabled, doesn't give you the right to push me around and try to take me in any direction you want me to go.
Anouwat - I'm sorry! I just want you to listen to me. Please, let's go somewhere we can talk!
Anneetha - I'm not going anywhere with you. If you want to say something then say it here. Ohh wait a minute.....that's it huh?? Behind closed doors, you come to me, but in the public eye, she's your fiance!! I'm your little secret???!!!!!! You used me.
Anouwat - No!! You're not a secret at all. I..I..I love you, Anneetha! Please, baby.. let me explain. It's really not what you think. Please, believe me!!
Anneetha - You confirmed it to the hostess and on live TV that you did propose to her! How do you explain that?
As Anouwat and Anneetha argued, in the background the music started to play as the dancers performed their love ballad for the crowd.
Hostess - Ladies and gents please enjoy our comtempory dancers as they perform a ballad to a very romantic song, far away! Hold on tight to your loves and enjoy!
........Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know, you know, you know........
Anouwat - Anneetha please, let's get out of here. Let's go and talk.
Anneetha - No! Go back to your girlfriend! I hate you! I hate you so much!
I love you
I've loved you all along
I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
The music continued to play as Anouwat tried to get close to her and hug her. She pushed him away with all of her strenghth, and she then grabbed a wine glass that someone left on the table along the wall, and she splashed the wine all over his face.
Anouwat wiped the wine away from his face and tried to touch her again, only to get pushed away. Anneetha's tears kept falling down her face.
She then took off the bracelet and threw it at him. And she continued to speak in a shakey voice.
Anneetha - You can have that back! I don't want to see you or hear from you ever again!
Anouwat caught the bracelet and looked at Anneetha, stunned.
Anouwat - I didn't propose to her, it's all a mistake!
Then from out of nowhere, Dome shouted.
Dome - Get the fuck away from her, you bastard!!
Anouwat -Stay out of this!! This is between me and Anneetha. It's none of your God damn business!
Anouwat then tried to get a hold of her again.
Anouwat - Anneetha please. I'm begging you!
Theela came running to the scene to rescue her sister. As she came closer, Dome still kept shouting at Anouwat.
Dome - She is my business! She's my girl!
Theela came right in time to hear Dome claim Neetha as his girl. She felt a wave of hurt in her heart, but she proceeded to Anneetha's side. Nanny KeoJaoi also got to the scene and right away she went to a crying Anneetha.
Anouwat laughed out loud and barked back at Dome.
Anouwat - Haha.. your girl?? Well.. she's my wife!!!!!!!!! We did things you'll never get to do!
Dome - Fuck you!!!!!!! Don't you dare say those things about her!
Dome then threw a punch at Anouwat right in the eye. Boom!! Anouwat came back up, and punch Dome in the face twice. Blaamm, blaaam!! When Dome came back up, Anouwat punched Dome again, and when he got down to the floor, Anouwat kicked him in the stomach.
Theela - Stop it Anouwat!!!!!! You're hurting P'dome!
Anouwat - Stay out of my fucking business, you asshole!!
Kick! Kick!
Anneetha - Anouwat!! Stop!
Pimpida and Mr. Deth came running in. Mr. Deth ran to Dome and held him back from fighting anymore. And Pimpida ran to Anouwat and grabbed his arm to hold him back.
Mr. Deth - Stop it, now!!
Dome - Khun Deth, let me go, I'm going to kill him!!
Anouwat - Not if I kill you first!
Deth - YOU TWO STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
The loud voice of Mr. Deth stopped the men from fighting.
Please, get me out of here, Anneetha cried out to Nanny.
Nanny - Okay Khun noo.
As Nanny was taking Anneetha away, Anouwat called out.
Anouwat - Anneetha! Wait! Anneetha!
Dome - Shut up! Don't you dare go near her!
Anouwat - I told you to mind your own fucking business!
Mr. Deth - Anouwat!! What's going on here??!
Dome - Khun tun, this madman was harrassing Anneetha and he said foul things about her!
Anouwat - That's not true!!
Mr. Deth - Anouwat! This is the second time I see my daughter cry because of you!!
Anouwat - Khun tun!
Mr. Deth - Anouwat! I don't want you to come near my daughter again, you hear me!! You stay away from her and stay away from my house! You are never to come back, you hear??!! I'm tired of you hurting her! I'm sorry I ever invited you to help her!!!
Mr. Deth then held on to Dome and dragged him along as he left the scene to go see to his daughter. Theela trailed behind, leaving Pimpida and Anouwat standing there. Anouwat then violently pulled his arm away from Pimpida, gave her a dirty and disguted look and walked away.
Kateeya watched the whole comotion from the end of the hallway. When everyone left, she too walked away, sipped her wine, and when the glass emptied, she threw the glass over her shoulders, and kept walking as the glass shatter all over the floor.
Hahaha!! This is just too easy. Plan A and B down... Plan C starts right now.
