Chapter 9
“P’Aff, you better go here now! Something happened to P’Aum.” Taew uttered on the other side of the line. Her voice sounded as if it was trembling. She wanted her voice to sound like something bad happen so her sister won’t hesitate to come. Taew pressed her cell phone to end the call. She went back inside the huge jewelry store.
“Who were you talking to?” Aum asked as he was looking at the diamond rings which Taew personally chose. He picked the most expensive one and studied it very carefully.
“I’ve called an expert when it comes to buying jewelries. She can be a big help for you, P’Aum.” Taew said as she was reading a report that her secretary gave her. After a few minutes, Aff arrived looking so worried. She immediately spotted Aum and Taew at the jewelry store.
“P’Aff! You’re finally here!” Taew said excitedly. Aff looked at both of them, confused.
“Aum! I thought something bad happened to you.” Aff said, worriedly.
Good thing nothing bad happened to him, Aff thought.
“Yes! Something really bad happen to P’Aum. You see, P’Aff, P’Aum here has been for hours now and he can’t choose which ring to buy. I called you up to help him pick.” Taew said. Her cell phone began to ring again. It was her secretary saying that she needed to attend a meeting in a few minutes. Taew immediately left, leaving Aum and Aff in the jewelry store.
“So, you’re buying a ring?” Aff asked as she was looking at the rings on the table.
“Yes, I really don’t know what she likes so I need help.” Aum uttered while his eyes were only fixed on Aff. He had not seen her for 5 days and yet he felt like he hasn’t seen her for years! Aum misses his wife so much. If only they are alone, then he’d probably kiss her right then and there.
“Hmmm…Are you going to give it to your girlfriend?” Aff said teasingly as she was looking at the rings that she had chosen personally. Aum nodded. Aff smiled at him but there were other things running on her mind.
And you said you don’t have a girlfriend! LIAR!, Aff was shouting at him, on her mind.
“Well, I think this one would be perfect.” Aff said as she held out a diamond ring with blue sapphire stones on each side.
“Are you sure? Would she really like it?” Aum said as he took the ring from Aff’s hand. He studied it very carefully.
“Positive! I think diamonds and sapphires go very well with each other. Diamond symbolizes love while blue sapphire symbolizes loyalty. I’m very sure she’ll love it.” Aff said confidently. There was a pang of jealousy in her heart as she imagined Aum giving this beautiful ring to her girlfriend.
“We’ll take this ring.” Aum told the manager and handed his credit card to him. After buying the ring, Aum asked Aff to accompany him in buying a new suit. Since Aff can’t think of any excuse, she had no choice but to join him.
“Next the ring, and now a suit? You’re letting me choose the things for proposing to your girl?!” Aff whispered to herself as she was scanning some of the suits in the shop. She took an elegant looking Giorgio Armani suit then went to the fitting room, where Aum was.
“Aum, I think this would look good on you.” Aff said while looking at the suit she had picked.
“Ok, just put it there. Does this look good on me?” Aum said as he walked out from one of the cubicles on the huge fitting room. Suddenly, Aff’s heart started to flutter and it felt like the room is getting hotter by the minute even though the air conditioner is almost at its coolest setting. Aum was slowly walking towards her, looking oh-so handsome. He sexily licked his lower lip.
Don’t do this to me, Aum. Please…, she silently begged, but the truth is, she likes how her husband teases her. Aum stopped right in front of Aff. They were only a few inches away.
“I-it…looks good on you…” She uttered nervously and quietly, almost a whisper. Aum leaned closer to her even more until their lips were almost touching. Aff’s heart started to bang louder until it was the only thing she could hear. Their eyes were still fixed to each other.
“Do you know that I’ll die if I don’t get to kiss you right now?” Aum whispered then in one fluid motion, he conquered Aff’s lips. Aff was unsure on what to do.
Should I push him away or should I…, she thought but her mind totally went blank when Aum started to deepen the kiss even more. She repaid him with the same amount of passion he had given her. She wrapped her arms around his neck while Aum wrapped his arms around his wife’s waist. Both were into the kiss that they even forgot where they were! Aum was the first one to pull away so both of them can breathe. They were still holding each other, neither of them wanted to pull away.
“Kiss me again…” Aff unexpectedly whispered. The feeling of his lips touching her still lingers and she clearly wanted more of him. Without hesitations, Aum kissed her again but this time, gently. He treated Aff’s lips as if it was the most fragile thing there is. Both of them wished this moment won’t end.
“Khun Aum, try this one too…Oh! I’m sorry, Khun Aum, Khun Aff. You could go back to what you are doing.” The sales lady immediately left them, leaving both of them in a very awkward situation. Aff was the first one to pull away. She made sure she was a few feet away from him. Aum cleared his throat then studied himself on the mirror.
“We’re not yet through, Mrs. Atichart.” Aum said as he was fixing his suit. Aff didn’t even dare to look at him then she immediately went out of the fitting room.

Manila, Philippines
“Sir Miguel, we’ve located Ms. Taksaorn. She’s in Bangkok right now.” A man wearing a black suit reported to his boss. The man who was looking at the sunset in Manila Bay smiled. For 2 years, he was looking for her and now, his people finally found her.
“Good. Just keep an eye on her.” Miguel Lopez uttered.
I’ll get you back, Aff…, Miguel thought to himself.
