Chapter 5: Maybe it is Fate
Thud... Cher Aem heard as she came falling to the ground. She was heading back towards the dining room but suddenly a person had walked into her. She looked up and realized it was Din. The desire to cause little conflict she attempted to apologize
"I'm sor"
"Don't you watch where you are going." Din said looking down at Cher Aem who was still on the floor. Cher Aem helped herself up and looked at Din.
"Excuse me? You walked into me. I was attempting to apologize even though you were the one that is wrong. Yet you are still being rude?"
"If you were so clumsy and looked forward when you walked. You wouldn't have walked into me."
"You.. you ... I've never seen someone so rude in my life."
"Rude? You bumped into me and haven't even apologized yet and here you are arguing with me. Who is the one that is rude?"
"I was attempting to apologize even though you were the one that wa.."
"Aem? What is taking you so long?" Krati said approaching her sister.
"P' Krati... nothing. Just some dog around here trying to bite me. I had to chase it away."
"Dog? How did a dog get inside the restaurant?"
"Let's go." Aem said grabbing her sister's hand then dragging her towards the dining room. Din watched in anger after being indirectly insulted by Cher Aem.
Lom who was fascinated by Krati's beauty watched as she entered the dining room alongside Cher Aem. Although this woman was beautiful there was something about her that just didn't seem right. Like a tiger in the jungle he tried to create an opportunity to be close to her.
"Khun Krati Krup, I just wanted to say that the dinner was perfect." Lom said as soon as he was close to Krati. Krati smiled and humbly thanked him. "I heard that you helped the chef's in the restaurant cook the dinner so I thought I would extend my compliments to you."
"Oh.. it's nothing really. I love the kitchen and cooking so it is no problem at all." Krati answered. As soon as she answered Lom knew what it was that was off about her. She shattered this image of herself in his head.
"No wonder. It's a shame. You are so pretty, but so boring." Lom said aloud without thinking.
"Excuse me?" Krati responded shocked.
"Oh no.. I umm. I ..."
"It's a shame that you are from a good family, but so rude." Krati said shoving him. Jeed and Cher Aem who were standing nearby saw the occurence and felt their jaws dropped in disbelief. Krati has never ever responded so aggressively to someone.
"Krati.. why did you shove Khun Wayupak?" Puwaned asked as he approached his sister. "Apologize right now." Puwaned added.
"But, P'..."
"No, but's apologize." Puwaned instructed.
"It's ok. We were just playing." Lom said with a sly smile. "Right Khun Krati?" He added as he looked at Krati. Krati's face still filled with anger had no choice, but to agree.
"Oh, but even so she shouldn't have shoved you." Puwaned said.
"Lom, everyone is leaving." Nam said walking over to her brother.
"I'm coming." Lom said. "And I'll see you again Khun Kratai... I mean Krati." Lom said chuckling. Puwaned, Krati, Cher Aem and Jeed said their goodbyes to Nam and Lom and watched as they walked away. As soon as they were no longer in sight Puwaned turned around to his siblings and smiled.
"She is so beautiful." He said with his wide smile. Krati, Cher Aem and Jeed laughed.
"Hey, P' Pooh. Since when did you become so cool?" Jeed asked and then attempted to mock him, "But even so she shouldn't have shoved you."
"Hey Jeed shut up. Not everyone can be as bold as you and kiss a guy for the world to see."
"P'Pooh! You! You!..."
"I have to put up a front in front of my future brother in law." Lom said turning to take one more look at the door.
Krati, Cher Aem, and Jeed continued to laugh at their brother's childish dreams.
"There is no way someone like Khun Thip Thara would be interested in you. You are so childish." Cher Aem said
"She doesn't have to know that. By the beginning of next year just you watch that new years kiss on the newspaper will be mines and hers!" Puwaned exclaimed walking out. Jeed, Cher Aem, and Krati followed. The Potswat family stood in front of the restaurant saying their goodbyes to the Adisuan family. Fai and Jeed looked at one another and smiled. Everything was out of their plan, but now they will never have to see each other again. In 2 weeks they had planned to tell their families that their relationship is not working out. Jeed's heart was jumping up and down until once again fate became so cruel to her.
"Khun Supansa, Khun Montri Krup, if you two have the time we should go out for a round of golf next week." Pisarn invited. Jeed's face became pale with despair.
"Oh no, I wish we could, but Khun Supansa and I have to go out to our resort to check on it for a few weeks." Montri responded. Jeed's face bloomed with happiness once again.
"That is a pity. Maybe another time." Pisarn added.
"But, if you take a vacation anytime soon feel free to stop by the Resort we'll make sure to accomadate you with our best efforts." Supansa said politely.
"You know a vacation actually doesn't sound so bad. We haven't taken one for quite some time now." Pisaran said. Jeed's face buckled up as she became nervous. She looked at Fai who was equally nervous.
"We are going down this weekend. If you are planning on taking one maybe we can go together. We can call the resort and have them make arrangements." Montri said.
"Hell, why not. It'll be a better way for our two families to get to know each other more also. Ok, it is settled then. This weekend our entire family will go on vacation for a week." Pisarn said.
"That is great. We'll call the resort as soon as possible to have them prepare." Supansa said.
Puwaned smiled because now he would be able to get closer to Nam and work his charms on her. Cher Aem, Krati, and Jeed looked at one another in disbelief. Jeed then turned to look at Fai who was also shocked.
