Chapter 7
9:23 P.M.
Ploy: I can’t believe Bee cannot come with us. Now we have to make another plan. Mom, when are we going to get there?
Mom: In about 5 minutes.
StepDad: Is the house to the right or left of the road? (He was a bit too busy concentrating on the road ignoring Ploy’s conversation with her mom)
Mom: It’s on the right side of the road.
StepDad: When we arrive there, don’t do anything stupid. I know you both worry about Amy.
Ploy: Don’t worry dad. (The dad doesn’t know that Ploy and her mom are going to take Amy back from Cee)
-----------------------
Cee: Urgh…why is this so hard? What should I do?
Cee’s friend (Tle Thanapol): Just do what you usually do.
Cee: (An idea a pops in his mind) Oh, yes. Let’s go!
---------------------
Amy: (She wakes up finding herself tied to a tree) What is this? Who’s out there?
Stranger: Me. (He comes out from behind the tree all covered from head to toe in black)
Amy: Show me your face if you are a man.
Stranger: (He looks at her thinking “She looks familiar”) Why do you care?
Amy: Urgh….why do I always have bad luck
!
Stranger: I’m sorry, you have to wait here until midnight. (He takes out a banana and starts to eat it)
Amy: What
! Are you kidding me? Get me out of this place…it’s so uncomfortable.
Stranger: Be quiet. (Suddenly his phone ring) Umm…hello?(Still chewing the banana)
Amy: Help
Help
! This guy captured me! (The stranger uses the uneaten part of the banana and put it into Amy’s mouth.)
Stranger: (He goes a bit farther from Amy) Hello?
Ploy: Por, why did I just hear a girl’s voice? (Por was the stranger)
Por: Oh….I was just watching a lakorn.
Ploy: Oh, really? When did you start watching lakorn? Hey, maybe we should start watching some together.
Por: (He just got stuck in his lies) Oh…um…that would be fine.
Ploy: Anyways, I call to tell you that I arrived at Cee’s house. By the way Cee is going to be Amy’s husband, but me and my mom are here to take Amy back.
Por: (He is shocked that Ploy is here near Cee’s house) Oh really? Well, I hope you have fun taking Amy back. Anyway I have to go. Don’t want to miss a part of the lakorn I’m watching.
Ploy: Okay, have fun watching it.
Por: Shit, that girl must be Amy. I’m in so much trouble now.
-------------------------
(At the bank)
Cee: Is it open?
Tle: Yes.
Cee: Lets go in.
-------------------------
Ploy: Mom we’re here. It seems like there’s a party going on.
Mom: Yes, it seems like it. (A servant invites them inside the house)
Servant 3: Please come inside.
Mom, Ploy, & Stepdad: Okay.
Grandma: (She turns around and sees Amy’s mom) Oh….Jamie you’re here (Jamie is the first name of Amy’s mom)
Mom: Yes, I’m here.
Grandma: I’m so happy that you’re here. I’m so glad for those two kids. They’ve grown up so fast.
Mom: Yes.
Grandma: (Looking at Ploy and the Stepdad) Who’s those two?
Mom: Oh. This one is my new husband Mr. Vongpit and this girl is my daughter Ploy.
Grandma: Oh…I’m glad that you moved on. As for my daughter-in-law she doesn’t want to marry again. Anyways I don’t think she will because Cee is such a hard headed kid. Now, you all enjoy Cee’s and Amy’s engagement party.
Mom, Ploy, Stepdad: Engagement party! Today!
Grandma: Yes.
Mom: Where’s my Amy?
Grandma: I don’t know. Maybe they went outside.
Ploy: I’ll go check then.
--------------------------------
Cee: Did you get the money Tle?
Tle: Yes, I brought a couple thousands. Why do you even need this much money?
Cee: I’m thinking this guy wants money. No matter what, I will not free that man who almost destroy my dad’s and Amy’s dad business.
-------------------------------------
Por: Amy, I’m so sorry. I never meant to hurt you. (He still has his mask on. He unties the rope to free her.) I thought you were someone else.
Amy: You crazy, bastard! (She kicks his legs causing him to fall down. She was about to run away, but she stopped) Hey, how do you know my name?
Por: I’m….I’m…
Cee: Don’t move!
Por: (He quickly grabs Amy to defend himself) I’m sorry Amy, but I have to do this. Where’s my uncle?
Cee: Right here. (He brings out a case full of cash)
Por: Huh…you think money will end all this mess!
Cee: Yes, money wins all.
Por: You know what you’re missing? Love.
Cee: (Laughs) You’re kidding me right? Love is just a waste of time. You don’t need love.
Por: No I’m not kidding you. I came here to get my uncle back because I love him and I have a girlfriend who I love very much. If you don’t free my uncle I will not let Amy go.
Cee: Amy? How do you know her name?
Por: (He doesn’t know what to think) Uh….
Ploy: What’s going on here? (She was finding Amy and Cee outside and heard some noises where Amy they were at)
Por: Damn! (He lets go of Amy and ran away.)
Ploy: Amy are you okay? What did that masked guy did to you?
Amy: (Coughs) He tied me around that tree and stuck a half-eaten banana into my mouth.
Cee: Amy lets go inside. That person must have known you. Someday that man will go to jail like his uncle.
Amy: I have a feeling that I know him too.
Ploy: He sounded like Por, but he can’t be because he’s watching a lakorn at home.
Amy: (She laughs) Por’s watching a lakorn? How funny, I never knew a guy like him watches lakorn.
Tle: (Pretends to cough)
Amy: You watch lakorns too? Anyways, what’s your name?
Tle: I’m…. (Cee cuts in his sentence)
Cee: He’s one of my friend, Tle Thanapol.
Tle: (Tries to give Amy a handshake, but Cee budges in) Nice to meet you.
Cee: Lets go my love. (He grabs her hand)
Amy: No need to hold me.
Ploy: I’m sorry, Cee. I need to talk with my sister.
Cee: Fine. (He’s kind of pissed off because he hasn’t spend a good amount of time with Amy)
Ploy: (fake smiling at Cee) Thank you, big brother. (Cee and Tle goes inside the house)
Amy: Ploy! Don’t call him that.
Ploy: Why can’t I? You both are going to marry soon.
Amy: Don’t say that.
Ploy: Guess what?
Amy: What? (She sounds irritated)
Ploy: We’re going to take you back home.
Amy: Are you serious?
Ploy: Maybe tonight of tomorrow morning.
Amy: I don’t think I can. I mean I don’t want Cee’s grandma to be mad at me because she’s such a sweet lady.
Ploy: Amy, come on. Mom knows that you don’t love Cee. She’s doing what’s best for you.
Amy: I know, but I decided that I have to stay here to finish some business. After what that masked guy (Por) said that Cee doesn’t have any love. I will prove to him that love is part of life.
Ploy: (Her phone rings) Hello?
Mom: Did you find Amy?
Ploy: Yes, I did. Mom Amy does------
Mom: Ploy, I don’t think we can take Amy back.
Amy: Is that mom? Give me the phone. (She grabs the phone from Ploy) Mom, I won’t go back with you guys. I just want to tel---
Mom: Amy you can decide where you want to go okay. If you want to stay, then stay. I won’t stop you; you are old enough to make your own decisions.
Amy: Thanks mom! (She shuts the phone)
Ploy: But..but
Amy: No buts. Come lets go inside.
Ploy: It’s okay, you can go. I need to call Por. (Amy goes in the house as Ploy calls Por’s cell phone. Suddenly she hears a familiar tone close by. She thinks it’s one of the people’s phone so she ignores it. She dials two times, but he doesn’t pick up. She walks to the ringing phone and realizes it’s Por’s cell phone.) Why is Por’s cell phone here? Or could it be--------
