Chapter 02

Ying walked with the designer of the clothes for the final curtain and the crowd liked how they executed the whole show. she returned at the backstage to change but Ying didn't got away from the designer and decided to introduce her right away to his fellow designers who attended the show.

good thing, Daeng was there to entertain the other guests. but she saw Tida's signal that she's getting ready to leave and so she decided to excuse herself from the crowd to change.

Ying: where are you goin?
Tida: leaving of course.
Simla: im gonna leave soon too. i still need to catch up a blind date.
Tida: i never thought you interested in blind dating-
Simla: shut up...
Ying: but what about me?
Tida: you'll go with Da of course.



her two friends had to go and though she wanted to leave, she can't not until Daeng's done with the other guests. she decided to go at the dressing room to change. "Ying... Ying...."

Ying: im here, Da... (he went to the dressing room to see her.)
Daeng: what are you doing?
Ying: changing...
Daeng: you can't right now. there's a designer who wants to have you as her finale for the design.
Ying: i told you... im a stylist. not a model.
Daeng: i will tell this to Simla and i'll make sure you're not gonna say 'no'-
Ying: Da! she's out already, she's attending her blind date right now.
Daeng: with whom?
Ying: i dont know... but i think it seems important that she needed to see that guy.
Daeng: whatever! but all i can is that you, Simla and Tida starting to betray our friendship!


here they go again, Daeng's the person whose sensitive and likes to over react with small details. of course, Tida's single... Simla's being man-hater started to slow down as she's taking seriously this blind dating these days. Ying went back to the dressing room to finally change.

after being brokenhearted, she decided to lie low for now. she dont know when she'll get over with Thor but she had to try it, as she was about to unzip the dress suddenly it got stuck and couldn't unzip it. "Da, can you help with this dress? i can't seem to open it...", she thought Daeng was still in the room with her.


"hello, my princess...", Phaibun surprised her all of a sudden and unzip her dress. Ying turn around kicked him out of the fitting room. "what are you doing here!?!"

Phaibun: i was just helping out-
Ying: im not asking for your help and what are you doing here!?! this is a dressing room, you're not supposed to be here.
Phaibun: (he get up and approach her.) there's no else around except us-
Ying: and i command you to go!
Phaibun: not until you agree...
Ying: of what!?!
Phaibun: to marry me.
Ying: the answer's obvious already.
Phaibun: so you're gonna me- marry- wait... aren't you supposed to change? (it was too late for her to realize that her dress fell off and what's left to see her body wrapped with her white undergarments.)
Ying: (staring at her like that only made her mad to death.) you maniac!?! why do you have to stare-
Phaibun: (she kept on hitting her and doesn't plan to stop.) awwww! stop it already!-
Ying: why i should stop, huh!?! you, maniac!
Phaibun: you were asking for help to unzip your dress and i lend a hand!- (she gave him a hard punch. and this time, he wouldn't allow her to do that to him.) okay, that's enough!


before she could hit him again, he caught her hand. this time as he was trying to stop her, they fell down together on the floor. her being on top of him... and their eyes meet.

"...their eyes meet. faces were inches away, she was expecting for him to kiss her then. she close her eyes as his face was getting closer to hers. however, the ending was absurd and ended with hesitation-"


Phaibun: what? we didn't feel any hesitation. i was really going to kiss her!-
Daeng: but you're not. you'll feel that eventually as soon as you realize that you rather want to kiss me-
Phaibun: what? (he look onto her.) who's this guy???


when she realized that they stayed long in that kind of position, she then punch his face for one last time and get off from him. "thanks for saving me, Da..."

Ying and Daeng leave the dressing room without him, laying on the floor. he thought of using his wild card this time to convince Ying for one last time. he wanted her to be his wife no matter what.

---------------------------------------------------------------


"so... you're really sure about this? you're gonna marry my bestfriend's daughter?", Chatri said while pouring a wine for him and for his wife whose sitting at the corner listening to their conversation.

Phaibun: yes, dad... im not just sure. im really 100% sure that im going to marry Ying Supasawat.
Thiang: weren't you in a relationship last month, son? how's Sum-... Sumalee, right?
Phaibun: we broke up before i came back here.
Chatri: as far as i know, you said before that you want to marry this girl... Sumalee. what happened to the two of you?
Thor: she cheated on him. (his younger brother who just got home from preparing his wedding.)
Thiang: oh, dear...
Phaibun: it's not that she cheated on me, she's not just ready to commit.


*flashback*
"my baby... where are you? i brought you some food that you requested...", he said. he got inside the room and saw Sumalee in the bathroom who just collapse and the floor that filled with blood.

he send her in the hospital and found out that she shouldn't stress anymore because she was 2 months pregnant. he thought he was the luckiest man on earth as he couldn't wait to be the father of Sumalee's child soon.


however...


though he was trying to give her everything, for her and for their future baby... Sumalee's not contented. it felt like she couldn't forgive herself from giving up her dreams to a marriage. she couldn't imagine herself being a mother or a pregnant mother or a wife... she didn't wish for this life.

Sumalee: i want to get rid of this baby...
Phaibun: wa-wait... what are you talking about? it's our baby.
Sumalee: no. it's not your baby. it's my baby. you're not the father of this child.
Phaibun: babe, you're trying to make up a story, right? (he smiled as he was expecting that she was joking only.)
Sumalee: NO. im not joking. i really wanted to gt rid of this baby. it's not because you're not the father. but i want my freedom back.
Phaibun: what?
Sumalee: you heard me. i want to get rid of this baby as much i dont want to be married yet.


the next thing happen, he dont want to remember anymore. he loved her but she gave their love in vain. his love in vain and that's how he simply wanted to move on.


Thiang: you know, son, we dont know what really happened to you in the States with that girl. but all i can say is that dont let me try to see this girl or i'll cut her head off.
Thor: whoah... mom, being scary doesn't suit you at all.
Thiang: (she blushed.) oh, dear... i guess im just way too young for my boys.
Thor: (he laughed so hard when his mom said that.) hey, dad... a lot of youngsters like older women, you should keep your eye on her.
Chatri: you bet! but anyways, before we could end this conversation... i want to know what your brother's plans if he really wanted to marry right away.
Thiang: we can have a double wedding.
Thor: mom, i want a solo wedding for me and Mae.
Phaibun: right. i also dont want a double wedding.
Chatri: then who goes first?
Thor: why don't you go first.
Phaibun: is it alright with you?
Thor: yeah, if you really insist to marry right away tomorrow!
Phaibun: how are you gonna tell Mae about this.
Thor: our wedding date is as it is... its all up to you how you'll set up your wedding date.


when he finally got his family's permission, what's left was Ying's agreement to marry him... there's no problem with her parents anymore since it's easy to get their approval with just a snap.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


"baby, we agreed already...", they were at the dining table eating their breakfast. both of her mother and father smiling at her while having some festive breakfast on top of the table. her father stared at her for a long moment and burst into cry.

Phraisong: i just want to see our baby for one last time like this or else it wont happen again! (he continued crying.)
Sunisa: hun, it's okay... she's in good hands. her husband will really take good care of her.
Phraisong: i know... Chatri and Thiang taught their children how to take good care of their future wife. its just that my wish was unexpected-
Ying: wa-wait... what the heck??? what's going on? who's going to marry and why are we having this festive breakfast???
Phaibun: because this is actually the day of our engagement day.
Ying: (she turn around and was not being surprise anymore. she was shocked from what he just said.) what!?!
Phaibun: im sorry, uncle Phrai... we can't join you for breakfast because i actually prepared one for the two of us only. (he grabbed her before she could go anywhere.)
Ying: what are you saying- let go of my hand!-
Sunisa: oh, how sweet...
Ying: mom!?! he's just-
Phaibun: simply proposing and wanted to take your daughter out of this house to spend our 'engagement date'.
Phraisong: go ahead, i wont stop you boy!
Ying: dad!?!-



Phaibun said goodbye to her parents and Ying who couldn't get off his hands from her, she got drag until they reach his car. before he started the car, he handcuffed her hands, covered her mouth and a blind fold. he drive for some few kilometers only and stopped the car.


Phaibun: (he put away the blind fold already but he dont want to take off the cloth that covers her mouth. he knew she would keep yelling and his proposal might turn bad if she wont stop.) before i'll take off that cloth you have to shut up first. if you wont shut up... then we can stay like this forever.
Ying: (she gave him silence and he gave her what she wanted to speak finally.) what are you doing!?! don't you know that this is kidnapping!?!
Phaibun: do you know that i have to watch a bunch of lakorns just to make this kind of scene?
Ying: and do you think i would be happy if you copied a scene like this from the lakorns you watched, asshole!
Phaibun: hey... careful for what you just called me.
Ying: but you're an asshole.
Phaibun: im not. i brought you here because i was really serious about what i said last time.
Ying: and didn't you heard me what i said last time? i said i dont want to marry you!
Phaibun: but i wont stop not until you agree.
Ying: you'll just get tired. my answer will still be the same.
Phaibun: okay... i think i have to use some desperate measures this time.
Ying: what are you gonna do?
Phaibun: i will kiss you.


he was about to kiss her but push his face away from her. "help! i said stop it!... help!, please, help me!-"

but he really wont stop and the more she's being hard to get the more he gets aggressive and it would be hard for her to push him away this time.

"okay! okay! fine... i will marry you!", she finally gave what he wanted.

Phaibun: good. then let's proceed to our engagement date.
Ying: there's no date. you got your answer already so just let me get out of this car!
Phaibun: uh-uh... nope. we're going to proceed to our engagement date.


he handcuff himself to her and so she can't go anywhere. the most embarrassing moment of her life, if this what he calls an engagement date... then its the strangest date ever to have someone being handcuff, walking and people watching them at the park.

"did they committed a crime?", said the one who passed by while watching them.

"why are they're in handcuff?", the other one at the corner asked.


Ying: (she stopped.) yes. why are we in handcuffs?
Phaibun: because im afraid you'll go away, my princess.
Ying: can you stop calling me 'my princess'? im not your princess!
Phaibun: but you are... you are really my princess.
Ying: will you- (she then figured out something to get away from him.) Phai...
Phaibun: yeah?
Ying: i want to pee...
Phaibun: but im about to propose now.
Ying: well, before you're gonna do it, why dont you let me go to the bathroom first.


he granted her wish to go the bathroom. he took off the handcuff as she went to the ladies room. she then search to escape from him.

"dont let me wait too long..."

"okay, it'll just take a minute...", she found an open window where she can escape from him.

"after that we're going to the place where its nice to propose...", she looked for something to climb.

"do-do you really have to do that? why-why do you need to propose-", she almost got out of the open window, half of her body got out of the open window already.

little she dont know, Phaibun's watching her all this time. "need some help?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------


"she can't think straight as she kept look at the engagement ring on her wedding finger, she obviously dont love him but in the end she accepted this kind of fate.

Phaibun surprised her with a beautiful scenery. basically in a flower field, where the warm tones of flowers contrast with each other. the definition of his love for her was real. she was speechless, he smiled and melt her heart away as the wind blows.

Ying: why do you want to marry me? (she ask one last time.)
Phaibun: if i say you're my princess... you are really my princess.
Ying: how can you marry me, you dont even love me...
Phaibun: i wont marry you if i dont... (he put the engagement ring to her wedding finger. the wind blows even more and hear the wind sing.) ...love you.
Ying: Phaibun-"


Ying: he put his finger on my lips and said that i dont need to say i love him. he plans to help me to hook up with Thor. hey... (she called on Daeng who's the one making the voice-over all this time. he's exaggerating the proposal that Phaibun did yesterday. he returned the electric fan that made an effect of the wind blows to his script from the corner.) stop that already. you just make things difficult for me and it's not what you really think.
Simla: so why are you not happy? he's helping you out. tell me, sis, you agreed to marry Thor's brother because you want him back?
Ying: im getting confuse...
Tida: you're not confuse, she's admitting how loser she is...
Ying: what's that supposed to mean?
Tida: Thor's marrying someone else, you haven't accept that yet, that's why you agreed to marry that 'Phaibun' because you really agreed to hook up with that 'Thor'.
Ying: hey, it's not what you're thinking. i wont do such a thing-
Simla: you mean hooking up with his brother.


"ah!!!!!!!!!! i dont want to hear any of your questions or advice. i dont need it. all i know is that i can't turn my back on this proposal now... if he's willing to help me then why not, right?", she stood up from her desk and plans to leave. she wanted to be alone for now and think.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


*flashback*

"marry me and i'll help you how to get rid of that girl if you really love Thor..."

"why are you doing this?"

"because i love you?", she punched him. "awww... what? why did you hit me!?!"

"it's really easy for you to say that, huh. by your looks, you're not even serious when you said it!"

"so what now? are you gonna marry me?"


she really dont understand why he wanted to marry her, she knows that there's something more than of being his princess. of course, he really calls her that back when they were small... but this present time is way too different now. he doesn't look serious or was she really expecting for him to be serious if he really wanted to marry her?

"damn... i'll find out why you want to marry me...", she said why staring at herself at the rear mirror inside of her car. then she started her car and received a text message from Phaibun that he'll buy some stuff for the wedding. he suggest her to check out the floral shops and see if there's anything she wants for the preparation of their wedding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"were you even aware that Ying has feelings for you?", he said to his brother whose sitting at the front seat of the car while he's the driver. they're planning to buy some stuff for his wedding and he needs his brother's advice.

Thor: oh, yeah? i didn't know she was.
Phaibun: if you found out before you met your fiance, would it be possible that you will fall in love with her?
Thor: it depends...
Phaibun: in what way?
Thor: i fell in love with her with just one click, then my fiance came later part... i think i would fall out of love with her and fell in love with my fiance.
Phaibun: what if you love her eternally?
Thor: if she loves me and i love her... maybe we can survive from anyone... but not with my family.
Phaibun: why? i think mom and dad likes her?
Thor: i can't bear watching someone in my family whose hurt most.


he knew whom his brother's referring to. Thor's the only one who knows the truth, he almost forgot her though when he met Sumalee... but that made him bring back to this country. he didn't expect that this would be easier. forgetting her was way to easy...

and it would be easy for him to love Ying.


.::Background Song::.

the next couple of days, both Ying and Phaibun agreed to meet each other at the tailor's shop. they both agreed for an intimate Thai wedding, fewer guests the better. they went to meet the pastry chef that both of their mothers' suggest. he let her chose their wedding rings.

Ying's friends wandering around at the mall together with the future married couple, Tida's behavior seems so rude with her frank personality, but she's fond with kids and so she suggested them to make a baby in their honeymoon. meanwhile, Daeng was looking at the good looking salesman, but he got snob by that guy.

Simla on the other hand were at the undergarment section and suggested Ying to wear some lacy but revealing undergarment during their honeymoon and Phaibun agreed to her suggestion. Ying slapped his mouth because he kept smiling and she dont know what's on his mind.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


the parents finally give their blessings to their children. a splendid wedded bliss for both Ying and Phaibun, she never thought that this could happen to her. but she felt so happy with this wedding. she looked onto Phaibun who's relaxed and contented. she never thought that she would end up with him.

his bright face is what makes her smile. he was happy and so she was. they felt contented to what they agreed. but this was just the start of what they had agreed.



the phone kept ringing and she had no choice but to answer, she's afraid that it would be him again... disturbing her career life. she asked him to give her life back, but he won't stop after all.

but caller wasn't him. but her manager from the agency where she works who was calling.

"why did you call? didn't i asked for a vacation..."

"yeah, right... you runaway and you never settle your appointments!"

"but that's your job..."

"hey... you only did one photoshoot and you're trying to show me your attitude now!?!"

"im... im sorry... but i did ask for a vacation. you weren't just listening"

"look, im your boss and im the only one who can say if you can take your vacation or not! well, nevermind now... why dont you just enjoy your vacation right now..."

"really... thanks-"

"dont come back here anymore!", she got turned down by her previous manager. now, she's doomed and don't know how she'll get that job back. she got up from the bed with a man she just met last night. but who cares, her concern right now is how to make up with her manager.

she had no money and forgot to ask from her cousin in Bangkok, she promised that she would help her. though she helped her after she got separated with Phaibun and got rid of the baby... now, she needs her help again.

"hello?"

"not again... im not going to guess anymore but you're out of money"

"please... help me for one last time... i dont know whom i can run to-"

"but i already you helped you... and you only spend it by hooking with someone else"

"i didn't hooked up with someone"

"liar"

"my manager fired me... that's why i need your help."

"fine... i'll help you..."

"really!!?!!"

"but the condition is you have to go back here in Bangkok. i dont want you to stay there anymore. why dont you work for me. i need a model for my designs you know..."

"but i want to work here..."

"no buts... do you want to stay there without a job? or come back in Bangkok and i'll make you on top of the game again?"


Sumalee couldn't choose, but her cousin wanted her badly... if she'll go back to Bangkok it's the other way around that she can go back to the States and start her career there.

"before you choose, the other one might interests you... your ex-boyfriend Phaibun Nakpradith is now a married man. so why dont you come back here and see it for yourself!"
