The next morning the driver came back with Ms.Raivee , distance cousin of Sorina and Soripa . Recently came back from oversea study and she will be staying with Artkapon . Everyone in the house wasn’t sure if she staying forever or just visiting , only Salapat know because couple day before she arrive he receive a letter from her parent explaining the situation. Ms.Raviee is very westernize , light brown hair , heavy on the makeup ,slim, classy, noticeable accent and 26 years of age. She walk into the house, wearing a floppy velvet color hat decorated with black feather and her dress was a black high-collar hippie maxi that split at the side , the latest fashion in Europe . Salapat and his wives welcome her to Artkapon . The servant take her luggage to the room upstairs .
“..I haven’t seen you in years , you grown up so fast ..�
“..Wow, Europe all I ate is steak uncle ..� she smile sweetly at him and hug both his wives with side kisses on both cheek. The lady was off guard at the sudden greeting but laugh it off and welcome her to stay as long as she want . They are just like family.
“..your two cousin will be down in couple minute , they are married now ..� said Salapat
“..married ? Wow ! Before me ! Even Soripa ? She only what 18 , 19 ? Wow!..�
“..yes , even Soripa . She 4months pregnant ..�
“..Wow. I can’t wait to see my cousin in law ..�
“..Poradee is at work but Harit is home …�
“..wow , I can’t wait …�
They all went into the living room . Raivee love the designing of the house and the garden work is so beautiful . Artkapon’s esate is at least 5 X bigger than her house in Europe and she love the ranch scenery here . A tour around the property sound fun, she thought . After about a couple min , Soripa , Sorina and Harit enter the living room and Raivee was soo happy to see her cousin . She ran to give each girls a hug and kisses at the side . Then she turn to Harit and was stun on how handsomely he look ! She give him a hug and kisses too. Harit step back and cup his cheek , that was his first kiss by a girl and flushed. Soripa glare at him and once he aware of his wife expression he lower his head .
“..wow ! Soripa your husband is to cute ! You never kiss him ? Why he so shy ? It just a formal greeting in Europe ..� she laugh
Soripa turn red before everyone eye and remain silent . Raivee turn to Sorina and admire how beautifully she is.
“…wow, this is great . I can’t wait to see how cute your husband is !..�
“..he be home this evening . I’ll introduce you to him ..� said Sorina .
After the introduction and greeting they all move to the sofa . Raivee goes on and talk about her life in Europe , studying, friends, travel places and the economy growth there compare to Thailand . She love Artkapon’s estate and ask Salapat if she can have a tour .
“..yes , Harit will give you a tour .He does the garden here for years ..�
“…garden ? He work for you ? Wow ? .�
Salapat clear his throat realizing what the question might lead to “ …Harit is …a distance family member and his parent pass away . He a Artkapon too..� said Salapat , at least some part is the truth .
“…wow , really ? In Europe they don’t care where you from or who you are . Love is love ..� said Raivee .
Soripa turn to watch her husband and he was looking at Sorina with those sadden eye . He probable wishing for both of them to born in Europe , she thought . Damn orphan. Is he that fateful to love ? That his heart have no more room for other ? She hate him . Why should she care if he longing for someone else because no matter what , it to late and it will never happen . His heart have no value to anyone not even her , so it shouldn’t effect her state of mind who his heart desire . Soripa felt a sudden sadness at the thought and her eye begin to water as she watch Harit . Stupid servant boy . He never an observant type . Why isn’t he aware of his wife observing his behavior ? Is Sorina that beautiful or did she cast a spell on him? Soripa rose from the sofa and quickly left the room . She heard Salapat asking where she going but she refuse to answer and rush up stair to her room . Harit snap back to reality and turn to look for his wife . She was gone .
“…maybe it her morning sickness ..� said Salapat
“..wow, really ? I thought she was crying …but anyway . Harit ! You will give me a tour right …� said Raivee
“…yes..� said Harit as his eye trail out the door . Wondering if his wife is ok .
“…wow ! Great !! Tomorrow then . Im tire today ..�
