“Grandma,” Direak-Ruj went to hug her.
“You’re here.” Grandma Ja was happy to see her grandson as she give him a big hug.
Aim-orn stood in the back as she watches Direak-Ruj and his grandma talk.
“Where is my soon to be daughter in-law?”
“She right here.” Direak-Ruj hold grandma Ja arm as they walk toward Aim-orn.
“Grandma, this is Aim-orn Ratchaneekorn the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ratchaneekorn.”
Aim-orn kindly smile as she greets grandma Ja. “Sawadee ka.”
Grandma Ja didn’t know what to said so she just give Aim-orn a faintly smile.
Direak-Ruj look at his grandma and notices she didn’t look happy. “Is something wrong grandma?”
Grandma Ja shook her head, “No…(whisper)…I would like a word with you only Direak-Ruj.”
Grandma Ja turn to Aim-orn, “Why don’t you go inside and rest. I need to talk to Direak-Ruj for a moment.”
“Sure,” Aim-orn nod as she went inside the house.
After Aim-orn was gone grandma Ja turn to Direak-Ruj, “Where Ciscala? I thought you two were going to get marry?”
There was a moment of silence before Direak-Ruj asked, “…There nothing to talk about Ciscala.” Direak-Ruj avoids the question. “If this is what you want to talk about lets just drop the subject. I don’t want to talk about the past. We should go inside. Aim-orn must be thinking we are up to something if we stay out here to long.”
Direak-Ruj left as his grandma stared at him going inside the house. She wonders what happened between him and Ciscala.
In the living room, Aim-orn looks around the place and saw some photos by the fireplace. She walks up to look at them.
“Huh? She must be Direak-Ruj girlfriend,” Aim-orn stared at the photo of Direak-Ruj hugging Ciscala happy in love. She didn’t notice Direak-Ruj came into the room.
“Would you like me to show you to your room?” Direak-Ruj said standing by the couch.
Aim-orn quickly turn to look at Direak-Ruj, “…You start me…”
“I’m sorry if I start you.”
Grandma Ja came into the room and see Direak-Ruj and Aim-orn looking at each other.
‘You two much be tired from the trip. (they both look away) Direak-Ruj, why don’t you show Aim-orn to the guest room. Lunch will be ready in a few hours.”
Direak-Ruj nod at grandma Ja and took Aim-orn suitcase as they walk out of the living room.
