Haha guys I'll stick to the girls for this one again...nothing really going on with Siwat OR Tawin.
Scene 5: At Work...Holiday?
Savika trailed right behind her elder sister. As Usamanee walked down this and into that, Savika always there. Even though Savika's arm was still throbbing, she knew she had to follow her sister. Usamanee looked sad again, and three guesses why: Siwat. Savika didn't really know how to comfort her sister, for it had always been Usamanee there for HER...so, in this case, Savika was better off keeping her big mouth shut. Usamanee made another right turn and was infront of the modeling agency she was part-timing for. It was only 2 blocks away from her father's hospital, so he agreed to let her do it...at least it would keep her mind off of things. This was going to be one stop and they were both going back to Maisak and the car. As for Savika, she had never came here before; this was the first time Usamanee let her little sister close to her while on duty. And, Savika was grateful.
"P'Kwan, why do you work for a modeling agency?" Savika asked, curious. Daddy had enough money for both of them to live in the life of luxury, so why work?
"Pinky, we might be rich AND hisos but we must work. Knowledge can never run out, but money can..." Usamanee replied simply, repeating the words Siwat had told her when she had asked that question 3 years ago. Thinking back to that lead a tear into Usamanee's brown eyes. She simply reached up and wiped it with her manicured finger.
"But still! A model? That's just obsurd. Why don't you become an actress? I bet you'll get much more money..." Savika suggested, knowing that her sister would say no anyhow. Savika didn't understand why Usamanee liked modeling too much. To be honest, Usamanee wasn't very good at it...
"Pinky...do you NOT want me be to bring you next time?"
"Course not, P'Kwan...sorry." Savika replied, scared.
"Aww Pinky, I didn't mean to! You are just too spoiled, aren't you?" Usamanee asked, knowing the answer to that question by heart. Savika shrugged.
"I donno, it's been like this since...I don't know when, actually." Savika answered as she and Usamanee rounded the corner. Usamanee nodded.
"This is the place, Pinky. Come in, and be quiet. No buts!"
"P'Kwan! You want a girl like ME to be quiet?"
"Yes, Pinky. I do. Please be quiet. This is not Daddy's hospital where you can do anything you please." Usamanee scolded, knowing what will happen next. Just as suspected, Savika started to walk to the nearest sofa, her hands and legs both crossed. She stared off into the distance, not having eye contact with anybody, especially her elder sister. Usamanee sighed and looked to the information counter.
"Hello, my name is Amika. What can I do for you?" The old lady asked, tipping her glasses down.
"P'Amika, it's me....Usamanee Taechapanit!" Usamanee replied, hoping the lady remembered her.
"Oh, Kwan. Sorry...I didn't recognize you there!" Amika replied, smiling. "Mrs. Wilawan is in her office. Go, she is waiting."
"Thanks, P'Amika." Usamanee replied, walking east towards Mrs. Wilawan's office. Reading the labels, she found one with the name she was looking for. Usamanee knocked on the elmwood door. "Mrs. Wilawan, it's me...Kwan."
"Come in, Kwan." Mrs. Wilawan replied. Usamanee came in, and sat on the sofa opposite of the lady. Usamanee's eyes darted.
"You wanted to see me-" Usamanee started, but the she was cut off.
"Yes, I did."
"What for, Mrs. Wilawan? Did I do something that displeases you?"
"Course not, Kwan. You're one of the best models we have!" Mrs. Wilawan praised, smiling. Usamanee could feel her cheeks burning.
"So you wanted to see me because..."
"Oh, I have an offer."
"Offer?" Usamanee asked, unsure of what to think.
"Yes, an offer. We got contacted to do a magazine photoshoot for Honeymoon + Travel. And, they said they wanted a new face. But the thing is, their theme is sisters... I heard you have a sister?" Mrs. Wilawan informed, asking at the same time. Usamanee figited.
"Umm, yes...her name is Pinky. Savika Taechapanit, to be exact. She's 4 years younger than me. But I don't think she likes modeling much." Just at that moment, there was a knock on the door and in came Savika. "Pinky?"
"Yep, I've agreed when the lady over there asked me. She said we'd have time for R&R too, y'know. I thought YOU could use some relaxation."
"Pinky, yes, but-"
"P'Kwan, listen to me. I don't want you to work to forget about everything, ok? I don't like workaholics."
"But you're going to work..."
"Yep!" Savika smiled. "For the best sister anyone could ask for!"
"Are you sure you want to do this, Pinky?"
"Sure! C'mon, they said it would be on some island near Phuket."
"Phuket!?!" Usamanee strained, trying to keep focused. Siwat...
"Oops, my bad." Savika told herself loudly. There goes her big fat mouth...AGAIN. "C'mon, P'Kwan! It's been 3 years since...oops."
"It's ok, Pinky. But I'm not going..." Savika's eyes were wide.
"You're NOT going? I'm going to tell Daddy!"
"Savika, NO." Oh oh... Whenever Savika got called by her real name, ohh her sister was mad...
