Chapter 10: Slowly Revealing
“Tola, Virote already left? ”
“Not yet.”
“What??? He’s still here??”
“Yes, It’s raining too hard. Khun Loob told virote to sleep over. Or else Khun Loob will not be able to ease letting virote drive in the rain.”
“Then where is he?”
“Family room.”
Vanida peeks in only to see Ahdit and Mali chattering away. (In her low tone) “Maybe I should go join them.”
“I think you should.” Vanida turns around only to see Virote grinning, again.
“You go first.”
(Joyfully) “I’ll go when you go miss vanida.”
“How come your so happy?”
“Because . . . I get to spend the night here.”
“Only?” Vanida pauses, and looks at virotes eyes. “Do you know when you smile, your eyes smile too?”
“What?”
Before vanida can answer, Mali approaches the two. “I wonder what you two are talking about . . . Forget that I ask that question, dinner is ready.”
“I want to thank you for letting me stay here kiet. Even though your mother don’t approve.” Adirake looks at kiets mum, she walks away.
“It’s fine with me. As long as you can adjust to my mother.”
“Everything is fine.”
“Adirake. What are your plans for the future huh?”
Adirake puts his elbows onto his legs leaning over. He looks to kiet and answers him sounding confident. “I’m thinking about working for vanida. If not, I will force her.”
Kiets eyebrow rises. “You’re going to rely on it?”
“Of course . . . She is my woman. Every woman should obey her husband. Isn’t that right?”
Kiet answers adirake by raising his eyebrows and looking away.

“Virote, it’s been a while since you’ve been here at Dome Torng. What change your mind?”
“Mali, You still don’t know?” He looks to Vanida. Innocently, she looks up seeing virotes smiling image. She rolls her eyes as she looks away.
Ahdit coughs purposely. “Virote, feel free around Dome Torng.”
“Don’t worry, I will.” Virote looks at Kulap who sat left to him. “Kulap, It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. You’ve aged wonderfully.”
Kulap giggles shyly. “Ohwy, P’Vee.” She smacks virote on his shoulder pushing him away. His smile disappears. “Woah. She is strong.” He thought to himself.
Khun Ahdit couldn’t take it anymore. He walks away with an empty stomach.
“Did I say something wrong?” Ask Virote trying to sound innocent.
“No it’s not that. Don’t worry, He’s been like that.” Vanida answers. “I will be back.” She stands from the table to follow him.

“That was very rude of you Khun Ahdit! A old friend of yours is here and yet you left without saying any . . .”
He turns around and interrupts her. “You are going to tell me what to do??? This is my home and my rules and my decisions!!!”
She takes a step closer. “Like you’ve said . . . Whatever bothers your guest, bothers you too. Or is it that you forgot???!”
“I don’t need you to remind me Vanida!”
“But it is not me reminding you! It should Already be in your head Khun Ahdit!”
“Ohhhh. Is it that you love to argue? You always turn an conversation into an argument!” She was left speechless as he goes on defending himself not letting her talk at all. “Every single time I see someone talking to you, it always turns nasty. Is this one of your plans when you came here?”
(Confuse and Angrily) “What????”
“Don’t try to act like you don’t know, Vanida! I bet when you came here, you’ve already decided on what to do and how you are going to do it!”
“I did Not!!!! Khun Ahdit!!! You can’t blame me for something you are doing!”
He stops and walks over to her. “I have plans up my sleeves??” He asks her.
“You don’t need to ask me that, Ask yourself! Ever since I came here, yes life’s been much better. But back at home I never had to argue with anyone at all! But since I came here all I have to do is argue with you!! There is never a day where there are no arguments!!!”
(His normal tone) “You are an aggressive lady.” Her angry face went blank. “It is late, go to sleep.” Ahdit walks into the hallway.
She yells back. “We are not Finish!!!”

Ratana holds vanida in her arm and cradle her like a baby. “Vanida, I will be going to Dome Torng soon. Hopefully I don’t have to baby-sit you, do I?”
“Maae . . . If Aroon is here, I wont have any issues. And . . . I want a couple new servants.”
“Why is that? Aroon is not enough?”
“It’s not that. I’ve been having bad dreams lately and since you won’t be home, I thought maybe with more servants I will feel safer.”
“Ohh. That is fine. Whatever makes you happy.”
“Then I want him dead.” She thought to herself. “Maae, hopefully you don’t mind.”
Suttikul Mansion
“This is your room Khun Vee. If there is anything on your mind, please tell me.”
“Everything is good. Thank you Tola. You can leave . . . Wait! Umm, Where is miss vanida sleeping?”
“Sorry, but Khun Ahdit told me not to tell you.” Tola walks towards the stairs.
“Ahdit . . . Your smarter than I thought you were.” Virote takes a deep breathe before entering his room.
Vanidas beroom
“Ohy!! I’m hungry. Damn you Ahdit. Because of you I didn’t get to eat.” Vanida reach to pick up the clock on her desk. “12:27 . . . Is it too late?? Oh forget it, I’m going to get something to eat.” By now, vanida is used to the dark hallways. She crept through the stairs into the kitchen. She turns on the light and sees someone sneaking in the fridge. (Demandingly) “Who are you!?? Turn around so I can see your face!” She positions the flashlight like a knife preparing to stab someone.
Ahdit turns around with a bowl in his hand. “What?”
“Khun Ahdit! It is late, why are you still up?”
“I should be asking you that question.” He turns back into the fridge.
Vanida walks behind him. She smiles. “Are you hungry?”
Slowly he turns his face. “What do you think?” He pauses. “A woman like you walking alone, aren’t you afraid?”
“Like I’ve said before, there’s nothing to be afraid of in this house.” She folds her arms leaning onto the side of the fridge.
“Oh right, all you need to be afraid of is me.”
She giggles. “But you’re in here Khun Ahdit.”
He straightens himself. “But we’re in the same room now.”
Vanida changes the subject. “I am hungry. Have you found something to eat yet?”
He smiles. “Here.”
“Give it to me, I will go warm it up.”
“I already did.”
“Then I will go get the plates.”
They both sat across from one another. Khun Ahdit thought of what he should say next. But before he did, vanida was already finished. “You are full?” He asks.
“Yes. I don’t eat slow like you.” She smiles. “But don’t worry, I will wait here until you are finish and wash your plate for you.”
“I don’t want your help.”
“Ohw! As you wish.” Vanida reenters the kitchen with a grin. “Since you don’t need my help, you can clean up your own mess. Good night.”
On her way to her room she heard light footsteps following her. She wanted to turn back and see, but was reminded that it was probably Khun Ahdit going to his room. Instead, she kept walking. The more she walks the faster her steps became. Finally she reaches her room. She closes her eyes while closing the door. “His room is that way; why did he come over here?? phyco.”
It was daytime, from a far view, vanida walks down the stairs and saw a women getting beaten up by Phueng. Vanida ran to stop the incident but nothing happen. “Phueng! Can’t you hear me I said STOP!” Vanida yanks onto phuengs hand only to go through it. Vanida looks at her hands in disbelief. She tried to pull Phueng off the other girl but still had no luck. “Phueng!! ARE YOU DEATH??!?!” Her eyes start to water. “What happened??? Why is this happening??” Tears stream down her cheeks. “No this can’t be, I can’t be dead . . . NOOO!” Vanida falls to the ground like broken glasses weeping and begging God for it not to be true. The name Sumalee was heard, instantly making vanida stop. She looks at the conflict. She notices that Phueng looks much younger. Vanida quickly stand onto her feet and look around. Decorations in the house were different and more outdated. Finally she took a look at the girl who was getting beaten by phueng. She looks familiar. Vanidas mouth drop open, she took a step closer and got on her knees. “Maae.”
