When Mr. Taksorn returns from his business trip, he was in form by one of the servant in the house that his wives visit Saipoon at the worker house. He dismiss the servant and went into his office , the wives probable found out about Saipoon's pregnancy he thought and decided to avoiding seeing Saipoon until his wives give births . This ways his wives will stop thinking he favor the servant girls more than them and perhaps stop harassing Saipoon , also at the moment he is quite busy at the plantation and will be out of town on a daily basic .
The wives didn't bother to tell their husband what they did to Saipoon and if he found out , they wouldn't care because at the end they know he will be on their side regardless. Pim return back to the main house and continue her job , the wives was please to see the old servant and thought Saipoon probable lose the child , that why she can't come to work .
Pim secretly want to in form Mr. Taksorn about the incident but she wasn't given a chance until many weeks later , when he return from out of town . She went into his office and tell him about what happen, Mr. Taksorn wasn't to happy that Saipoon didn't lose the baby and didn't bother to ask about her health either .
"then its best she stay way from the main house for a while"
"the doctor said--"
"I don't care , just make Saipoon stay low . Right now the due date is close for my wives, they won't be having time to cause anymore problem for a while"
"yes , master"
"you can leave "
Pim obey and quietly left the room , she want to tell him about Saipoon condition but it seen the master wasn't at least worry and when Saipoon heard about how little Mr. Takorn care about his child , she was sadden
"what did he say ?"? nearly inaudible , she was resting on the bed and heard Pim's foot step coming into her room
"he ..didn't say much just for your to stay away from the main house for a while"
"did he ask about the child ?" Saipoon waited for a reply and when there was none tear trickle from the corner of her eye. She have to much hope in the beast , when deep down she already know the answer how he feel about her and its no difference from his wives. The reason she can't compare to his other wives its because she a servant and not an heiress to a fortune. They are beyond human perhaps they are god and she the dirt on the ground they walk on , that why she is being classify as nonhuman!!! Saipoon close her eye to shut the last drop of tear and ball up a fist . A person can only take so much , even a dog when he is corner will bit back
Many months went by and on the day Rosa about to give birth , there was a hurricane . All the road was cut off due to the storm and trees was knock down blocking the back road also , there was no way Rosa can reach the hospital in time . Luckily, one of the old servant in the house use to be a midwife back in her homeland and she was call to deliver Rosa's baby.
Mr. Taksorn was worry, pacing himself out side the room while waiting for the good news . His other two wives had left to a woman convention meeting this morning and couldn't return because of the storm . Suddenly, there a loud shriek coming from inside Rosa's room and Mr. Taksorn froze. The midwife came out the room and goes on her knee , there was fear on her face .
"master , th..the child he..is dead "
"what !!! what happen !!!" Mr. Takorn rush inside the room, knocking the midwife away and saw his wife unconscious with blood staining the sheet . Then he turn his attention to the infant that was wrap in a blanket and approach the child ..
"the child suffer from a in utero stroke , there probable a thrombus in his brain that cause a blood clot , he wasn't able to breath and die immediately after delivery"
Mr. Takorn weep bitterly as he held the child in his arm and curse at the midwife !!! "bitch , why didn't you save my son !!!! I should kill you right now "? angrily he kick the midwife in the face , causing her to fall backward . She cry out in pain as blood flow down her mouth , then quickly bow down with her head on the floor begging Mr. Takorn to spare her life . He raise his hand , about to slap the old lady but was interrupted by Pim .
"master ! master !! Saipoon is in pain , I think she about to give birth !!"
"what !! Can't be !! She only 6.. 7 month pregrant !!"
"ever since she drank the red medicine , her health is unstable and the doctor said there a chance she might deliver a premature child"
Mr.Takorn look down at the cold child and then at the shaken midwife. Then he turn around and stare at his unconscious wife "Saipoon" he mutter and signal his hand to dismiss Pim and the midwife . Once they were gone he move to sit on a chair while holding the dead infant in his arm and thought about how he going break this tragic new to his wife. Surely , it will kill her !!! He sigh heavily and close his eye to re-think of a way out . Moment later Pim came stumbling into the room , causing Mr. Takorn to snap his eye open at the sudden intrude and was angry
"what you want !!! Can't you see im stress !!"
"master , Saipoon"
"and ? .."?
"it a boy , small but healthy. It was so unexpected that he survive , thank you god" Pim was over joy and almost in tear
"that boy is a devil reincarnated , the minute he was born my son dies !!" Mr. Taksorn rise from the chair and pushes Pim a side as he make his way to the worker house . He kick the door open and storm inside , furious at the sight of the lively infant and then back to his dead son that's in his arm .
The midwife wraps the child into a white cloth and handed it to Saipoon, who was still panting and sweating from giving birth. The moment she touch the child , tear pouring down her face and a smile form as she stare at the tiny creature and silently thank god for giving her a healthy baby .
"my son " she whisper
Mr. Taksorn wasn't a bit move and felt a sudden hate , that boy will bring damnation !! "that child is the reason my son die !!" he accuse
"no, don't hurt him"? cries Saipoon and tighten her grip around the infant , fearing Mr. Taksorn will snatch it away from her .
Mr. Taksorn was trembling all over , then he remember his wife back at the main house and thought of an idea to solve this problem . He smile wickedly "fine , I wont hurt him and he can use my last name . He will be known as my first born and be treated with respect"
"thank you ..thank you"? she kiss the infant , at least her son will have a good future living in this house .
"but you have to give him to me and let him be known as Rosa's son instead"
"no!! he my son !!"
"listen bitch !!! You want that boy to be known as a servant's son ?? Think far nobody will know about this , not even Rosa and she will love him like her own"
"no no no" her face became completely pale while shaking her head widly , the pain of labor haven't left her body yet and to give him up so easily is killing her alive
"I'll tell everyone your baby die because of in utero stroke . As long as you stay in this house , you will see him everyday . Rosa and I will give him all the loving a parent would give to their child "
".but im his mother"
"no , from this day fore you are not his mother and you must never reveal this secret to him . It will kill him in the future . If you love your son , im sure you will want the best for him" Mr. Takorn became silent , observing the mother and son scene . There was nothing but tear and cry from Saipoon as she cuddle her child one last time. Mr. Takorn grown impatient and snatch the baby from her arm , then replace it with the dead one .
"my baby !!" she cries out , sobbing uncontrollably as she watch Mr.Taksorn walk out of her room . Pim couldn't hold the tear , it was heart broken to see Saipoon cries out for the baby and try to comfort her niece , telling her its for the best . Saipoon was overwhelm by grief , refusing to listen and then lost conscious on the bed . Pim call out her name over and over telling her wake up
