The next day everyone was having lunch together at the family table . Melin make shrimp porridge for Soripa and tell the
servant to place the bowl in front of Soripa while everyone else have a difference meal .
“..eat up dear ! You look so gloomy lately , so i cook your favorite dish . It your favorite right ? I always see Harit cook it ..� said Melin
Soripa stare into the bowl as sweet memory flashes before her but she manage to hold the tear and take a slow bit . It’s not the taste she love but she didn’t’ want to disappoint her mom . “… Thank. It tasty..�
“…wow , how long it been ..2months ! When will Harit be coming back uncle ..� ask Raivee
“..im not sure . I hope everything goes well ..� said Salapat
Raivee frown. She wishes for Harit to come back soon, there several area to explore in Artkarpon and with out a handsome tour guy like Harit …it boring . Everyone in the house seen to be busy or sad for some reason . She turn to look at Soripa.
“…, you ever think…just maybe Harit have a mistress down there ? I mean your husband is a very attractive man ..� said Raivee.
Everyone was quiet not understanding why would Raivee come up with such a thing for ? Soripa stop eating and turn to her cousin who was smiling in amusement . “…I don’t know ..� she say dryly
“…this is serious . think about it….shouldn’t he be worry about his wife and child ? At least some kind of letter …..anything ! If he is hurt , im sure someone down in Puket will notify uncle , right ? …� said Raivee with a grin of satisfaction. She want Soripa to think the worst of Harit. The more doubt and insecure feeling she have it the more chance their marriage life will drift , Raivee smile at the thought of having Harit to herself .
Soripa couldn’t take anymore of Raivee and excuse herself from the table. Is it possible? Harit find another girl in Puket ? Heat wave washes over her . If he dare , so be it ! She make her way upstairs when she heard a familiar voice calling her . Could it be ? No. She took another step and there goes that voice again ! She afraid to turn around …..fearing it just a dream . She continues a couple more step and reach the top floor when she felt a hand grabbing her wrist.
“…Miss.Soripa ..� said Hairt as he came closer and turn her shoulder to face him. Finally, he thought as he watch the tear that sparkle in her eye .
“…Harit , u came back ..� she smile with tear of joy and hug him tightly .
He was taken by surprise that he froze to feel the warmth of her body against him . Never thought he would feel this way again ..... but right now , he feel so complete as if a missing piece of him is found . She releases him and step back , realizing she the one that hugging …and not him. The man didn’t even respond to her touch, doesn’t he know how much she miss him ? At least wrap his arm around her but… he didn’t . He so cruel , she thought .
He saw the sudden change in her face and he know she is mad. Without a word he smile and reach out to feel the roundness of her belly . Kneeling down , he kiss her belly several time . Then he close his eye and rest his head softly on the mount .
“…Don’t get mad ok ... I miss you and the baby very much ....� he felt a bump on his cheek and immediately open his eye “…..the baby kick me !! ..� he laugh and stood up searching his wife face for any pain.
Soripa was in tear and touched. “…the baby kick me every time I have a nightmare ..�
“..really? does it hurt ? …�
“..no, its tickle ..�
“….you want some shrimp porridge ..?�
“..tomorrow ..�
“…ok …I miss you ..� he smile at her . It feel so right , he thought . Just so right . He reach down to held her hand in his . “…let goes outside for a walk ..there so many thing I want to tell you ..�
“…it better be good ..�
