Chapter 7: interest payment
Worry for her safety butler passin, ask “miss donut, are you, ok?” donut, look back & timidly nodded her head as she reply “I’m fine. I know him. You can go back in I’ll be in shortly.” donut, didn’t want to bother butler passin, or anyone else in the Danuwong household with her problem. Once Butler passin, return into the house leaving donut, with her visitor. She turn her attention back to her unwelcome guest & ask “what do you want from me, now?” the man, sneer at her showing his yellow teeth as he reply “well, your father, told me you were here so, I’ve come to take you home.” Donut’s eye widen as she heard him speak & reflected upon his use of the word home. By all estimation she regards his home as her living nightmare. She had already spent 3 long years at his card room working off her father’s gambling debt & was sure that the contract only calls for a 3 year period of servitude. recalling that fact donut, said in an impassion voice “I’ve already work off my father’s debt you can’t make me go with you.” looking sternly at her the man, took out a wrinkle piece of paper & handed it over before saying “take a good look at this it’s your father’s new contract with me. I think he has to be the world’s worst gambler. But luckily, for him he has such a useful, daughter.” with that said the man, grab her arm & begin to drag her away. Donut, resist insisting that she would rather die than go with him. not wanting to create a scene the man, stop dead in his track & said “if you don’t want to come with me then repay your father’s debt.” donut, look bewilder & realize that even though he had given her this option there was no, way she could repay a debt as large as 20 million baht. Laughing at her exasperated expression the man, said “you obviously can’t pay so, let’s go.” donut, eagerly protest “I can’t my father, has already sold me to the Danuwong family.” reaching out once again for her arm he insist “I’ve been watching you for the past couple of days it doesn’t look like you work here. Looks like your part of the family, right? If that’s the case get them to pay the debt for you & you won’t have to come with me.” with little other option at her disposal donut, reply “ok, I’ll ask them for the money. But I need a few days to ask for such a large sum.” happy with the new arrangement the man, nodded in agreement & warn “don’t try anything funny & since you won’t be able to come up with the money for a couple days you should at least pay the interest, right? Bring 1 million baht over to the card room tomorrow for the interest payment or else I’LL be back.” shaking with fear donut, could only muster enough energy to nod her head in acknowledgement of his demand. She watches as he left the premises & slowly, made her way back to her room. In the safety of her bedroom donut’s knee gave way as she collapse to the floor. with her back against the door she hug both of her knee towards her body & bury her head into her hand trying to stifle her sob. Tear gush down her cheek as she recall all of the abuse she had endure from the sinister man, & his equally heinous, wife. The scar from the cigarette burn & lashing hadn’t yet, fade & yet, she was now, face with the probability that more were to be added. She got up from the floor, made her way to her dresser & pull out the velvet box which contains grandmother danuwong’s gift. She whisper softly “I’m very sorry, I really, have no, other option.” holding the velvet box tightly donut, crawl into bed, cover herself entirely with the blanket & sob softly. She knew that sleep wouldn’t come to her tonight. Since it was Saturday Dan, decided to sleep in & skip breakfast. When he finally, woke up he found that it was already 1 in the afternoon. Hungry, he made his way downstairs & requests a light lunch from the kitchen. His lunch was prepared as he ate it, quickly. He walks around the house to see where everyone was & was surprise when he didn’t see his grandparent. It dawn on him that his grandparent were probably out with their friend at the golf course. He then wonder where donut, was if no, one else was around. He figures that the bookworm was probably in her room studying. Having nothing, better to do he decided that he would go pester her. He knocks on her door & awaited a response which wasn’t forthcoming. Puzzle, he wonder where she could be if she wasn’t in her room. Seeing his young master’s confuse expression butler passin, approach him in the hallway & said “miss donut, went into town to pay a visit to her aunt. She won’t be back for another hour or, so.” Dan nodded his head in acknowledgement of the information & said “ah, I see. I was just looking for her since she has some of the history note that I need.” butler passin, was surprise by his young master’s statement & ask “young master, you’ll be studying on a Saturday?” aware of his own poor excuse Dan, simply nodded his head & waived for butler passin, to go about his business. Bored at home Dan, call for the driver to take him into town. He wanted to stop by the comic book store. Even though, the comic book store was a bit out of the way & in a rather unappealing part of town it was the only store that had the majority of comic that he likes. As Dan’s car made its way down the narrow street a sight suddenly, caught his attention. He abruptly calls for the driver to stop the car. Sitting in the park car Dan, watch as donut; exit one of the local pawn shops on the street. She held a white envelope in her hand & seems to have a very distraught expression on her face. He watches as she headed towards a bus stop & boards a westbound bus. When the bus was finally, out of sight Dan, exit the car & ask the driver to wait for him. He made his way across the street, enter the seedy pawn shop & rung the bell at the counter. A frail looking man, appear from the backroom & ask what he could do for, Dan. dan, look around & wonder to himself “why would donut, be in a place like this?” he turn his attention to the man, & ask “there was a girl, in here a short while ago did she perhaps pawn something?” the old man, look quizzically at dan, but answer “yes, there was a young girl, that pawn a necklace. She just left if you want to catch her.” shock by the old man’s response Dan; demand to see the pawn merchandise. When the man, brought out the necklace Dan’s anger increase upon recognizing that it was the necklace his grandmother, had given Donut, the night before. Back at the Danuwong house donut, quickly pack up her belonging only taking the item which she had brought along with her when she first arrives. She reassure herself that after she made the interest payment for her father’s debt she would run away so, that the man, would never find her. If she wasn’t there she was sure that the man wouldn’t be able to bother the Danuwong family either. Before she could finish packing she was startled by Dan, who suddenly, burst into her room. Looking at him, donut saw the harshest expression that she had ever seen on his face. He slams the door behind him & stares intently at her. before she could inquire about his intrusion Dan, angrily ask “so, where’s the money?” taken aback by the question donut, stood up from her position on the floor & ask warily “what?” Dan, ask her once again with the same heated tone “where’s the money you got from pawning my grandmother’s gift to you?!” donut, was shock by his question & quickly, averted her eye. Making his way towards her, Dan grabs the white envelope he had seen earlier in her hand & asks “this is it, right? You pawn the necklace, got the money & are now, packing to run away? Are you some kind of swindler? How could you do this to them? My family has been nothing, but kind to you.” donut, couldn’t muster up the courage to respond to his barrage of question & simply lower her head as tear stain her bedroom floor. Upset with her silence Dan demanded for an explanation. Seeing that his anger was increasing donut, choke back her tear & slowly, reply “I can’t tell you what’s going on but please, trust me that I didn’t mean to swindle or cheat your family. The money is a matter of life & death to me. Please, give it back & I’ll be sure to repay your kindness when I’m able to do, so>” Dan, had never been so, angry in all his life he couldn’t believe that she was actually, asking for him to return the money. He held the envelope up so, that it was in her clear line of vision & proceed to tear up its content. Horrified, donut rush over only in time to gather the torn bill from the ground. Dan said angrily “I’d rather tear this money up than have it fall into your hand.” donut, couldn’t utter a single word as she saw the prospect of her escape vanish into thin air. Sobbing, she got up from the floor & rush out the door. Dan stood stun at his own action & didn’t know how to proceed. Witnessing Donut, rush from her room in tear butler passin; quickly enter her bedroom to find his young master, standing alone in a daze. Butler passin asks “what happen?” Dan was silent & didn’t know how to respond. He too, was unsure about what had just occurred. despite, the fact that he hadn’t receive an answer to his first question butler passin, continue to ask “does this have anything to do with that stranger that came to visit miss donut, last night?” upon hearing the question Dan, quickly look up & ask “what stranger?” butler passin, describe the scene that unfolded the previous night & said that he thought miss donut’s reaction to her visitor wasn’t normal. Butler passin also explains that the man’s appearance couple with donut’s reaction causes him to have the man, follow. He noted that the man, had return to a card room on the east side of town. Dan, recall donut’s word about a life & death situation & realize that there was a chance that he had misunderstood the situation & acted too, rashly. he ask butler passin, for the address of the card room & request that the butler not tell his family member about what was going on until he figure it out himself. Dan, reason that if this was a situation that donut, didn’t want other to know about then alerting his family would only go against her wishes. Butler passin agreed to keep the secret & gave his young master, the address of the man, in question. Dan, look out the window & wonder if this was where donut, was now, rushing off to.
