Chapter 18
“Everything is fine Nai….no nothing is wrong....”
Nai: are you sure p’Rome!?..why do you sound so sad..
Rome: *sigh* its nothing Nai. Im actually watching a movie with a couple guy friends so I have to go…
Nai: but….
Rome: Nai…do you want me to be happy here and when I come back or not….
Nai: fine…bye…I hope to see you soon…
Click…
Nai: hmmm…something fishy is going on here…(thinks to herself)…maybe I should send some one to go check it out…or should I not…ergh….

Yai: Khun Rita..your back, where is Khun Rome…
Rita ran straight to her room. She was trying to hide her tears from Yai but Yai already felt something. Then Rome came after and Yai asked him.
Yai: Khun Rome, is Khun Rita ok? She looked upset..
Rome: ohh, its nothing Yai. She was just mad at me because I yelled at her…
Yai: ohh..is that so..(yai already suspect something….a love issue..)
That night Rome couldn’t sleep. Rome sat ouside the balcony starring at the stars. He stayed up all night and think about what happened. It made him sad just thinking about what happened. Now how will he convince Rita and show her that he does love her. If only Nai never came into the picture. Things would have been fine.
Yai: Khun Rome….your not asleep yet.
Rome: yai, your still awake. You should get some rest.
Yai: well, I can’t seem to sleep, just like someone here. (smiles)
Rome: oh its nothing yai…(tries to cover up)
Yai: don’t lie to me Khun Rome, I’ve raised you up and knows how you are. You always stay up when your worried. Now let me guess, love issues….
Rome: yai…
Yai: don’t lie to me. talk to me.
Rome: *sigh* (gave up and told yai)…I don’t know what to do…its soo hard to convince Rita that I love her. Its like she won’t believe anything now because of Nai. I wished I never yelled at her that night . and about Nai, I don’t love her yai….Nai is just a friend a daughter of fathers business friend. That’s all.
Yai: well..maybe you need to try harder, show more to her. If you have to.. make rita believe you mean your words. No matter what it takes…
Rome: thanks yai…
