They went to the ranch and Harit saddle one of the horses for Ms.Raviee but she doesn’t know how to ride one. She beg Harit to teach her how and he hesitated but give up at the end. Ms.Raviee sit in the front while Harit sit behind with his arm circle around her waist to hold the leather rope . He was feeling uncomfortable by the minute because Ms.Raivee was laying her back on his chest , her hand reach upward to smoothen his jaw line . Maybe Soripa is right ? He should stay away from Ms.Raivee . Though, his education is limited but his common scent is alert. Ms.Raivee is obviously flirting with him and her hand is sending chill down his spine and suddenly he feel guilty for leaving Soripa alone . Harit turn the horse toward the gate and tell Ms.Raivee it getting late , they should be heading back to the house . She was disappointed and whine like a kid . Harit slide off the saddle and walk the horse with Ms.Raivee was still on it .
“…it not that late , lets go around the track one more time..�
“..sorry Ms.Raivee ..we have to get home before it turn dark ..�
No matter how Ms.Raivee try to convince him to stay at the ranch he wouldn’t listen. It dangerous to be around this lady , he trust himself but it her that he don’t trust. Maybe he thinking to much ? She live in Europe for a long time and this kind of behavior is acceptable? What ever country she from, it doesn’t matter because this is Thailand. It not right for a woman to flaunt her body so openly and easy. Right now , he wonder if Soripa still mad at him ?
Meanwhile, Soripa was laying on the bed unsettling and constantly checking the clock on the wall . It was nearly 9pm , what taking him so long ? The ranch is only a couple mile from Artkapon ? When she saw Harit & Raivee locking arm as if they were lover , it was like a slap and it hurt . She afraid …afraid Harit will forget about her …forget about his promises.
There was a knock on the door, it was Harit . She refuse to open the door as he continue to knock several more time. The knock became louder and she heard him hollering if she hurt . She was force to get up and open the door for him . Damn orphan , he going wake up the whole house !
“…Miss.Soripa , you ok ..� said Harit .
“…you just now worry about me ..� she walk away from him and goes back in bed “…don’t talk to me . I don’t want to hear it ..i hate you ..�
He want to explain but he doesn't want to push his luck . He grab the towel in the closet and goes in the bathroom to shower . When he came out Soripa was a sleep , that fast ? He walk toward the bed and kneel down beside her .
“…im sorry .don’t be mad at me ok ?..� he stare into her face . He know she not a sleep yet and he know she heard him.
She didn’t open her eye but reply back “ …that all you can said ..sorry ..sorry ..sorry ..you can’t say anything else ?..�
“…what you want me to say ? ….we came back from the ranch since this afternoon but Ms.Artkapon ask me to help out with the furniture moving …you hungry? Want some shrimp porridge? �
“…no, I want to sleep ..�
Harit was silent and motionless from where he were as he continue to stare into his wife face. This is probable the most peaceful look on her . Eye close , lip line up , eye brow curving …..he like this settling expression of her . Why can’t she smile more ? So young and naive . He smile and she open her eye as he continue grinning. It make her blush before his eye and his cheek bone rise higher at her expression.
“…Harit , why you smiling ..�
“…nothing ..�
She know he lying , the rosy color of her cheek is obviously blinding him ! Why does he have this effect on her ? This tingle feeling inside every time he near her . It hard to deny it , she falling deeper and deeper everyday . The wall she build is staring to crumble ….slowly and he so stupid and clueless to realize it . She doesn’t know what to do but wait till he say it or if he ever going say it ? Soripa sigh and tell him to close the night . Tomorrow is another day . It moving so quickly that she afraid by the time it over , she will never be the same again .
