Chapter 04

they got out the building. Phaibun was still holding her arm and kept pulling her until they reach the parking lot, she's hurting already and don't know why all of sudden Phaibun act that way infront of her friends. "let go of me!.... i said let go of me!!!"

he let go of her as what she asked for, they were now in the parking lot. "what are you so mad about? can't you see im talking to her and for your information im still working!-"

Phaibun: at this very late hour, you say you're still working?
Ying: what the hell is your problem!?! you just showed how rude you are awhile ago, what was that all about!?!
Phaibun: i dont think that woman deserves to be treated nicely and i am commanding you to not to talk to her anymore!
Ying: you what? no one has ever commanded me before-
Phaibun: and now i just did. get inside the car, we're going home.
Ying: no im not coming with you...
Phaibun: i said get inside the car!
Ying: no... because you're unreasonable. awhile ago i just don't understand what you just did.
Phaibun: i will explain it to you when we get home, now, get inside the car.
Ying: no, i got my car.
Phaibun: leave it here for awhile. you go inside to my car now.
Ying: i said NO... i dont want to.
Phaibun: i said-


"i said no! i am pissed and do you think i want to get inside the car of yours? no... and don't force for one last time because i really had it with you. i thought it made clear to you that even if we were married, it doesnt-", she wasn't finish but Phaibun grabbed her face and just had to kiss her to shut up.

she didn't know how long was the kiss but what she felt when he kissed before during the wedding reception... was the same feeling that he was bringing up to her now that he's kissing her again.

then it rained. it was perfect picture for her though, she remembered how she wanted her dream guy to kiss her in the rain. she had a dream of kissing a guy in this particular scene. it brought her some magical feeling even if it was a dream, but now, she didn't expect that this magical feeling would happen. with her eyes close, that feeling never stops...

...not until she opened her eyes.

the magic stops when the one who's kissing her is Phaibun.

she pushed him away, the thought this guy is her biggest mistake. why him anyway!?! she got inside of his car and he also got inside of his car. she then realized that this is not her car and as she was about to open the car door, it was too late. he locked it and so that she can't go anyway.

Ying: open the door.
Phaibun: we're going home...
Ying: i prefer to use my car...
Phaibun: you're inside my car already and i will not let you get out of here anymore since its raining.
Ying: i dont care if its raining-
Phaibun: look, do you want to be kiss again? you just don't know when to stop argui-
Ying: just start the car, okay!?! you want us to go home, start the car now...


he starts the car and the they just didn't talk while on their way home. as soon as they got home, Ying silently get inside of their pad, she didn't talked to him at all. she locked herself inside the room, she forgot some of her important stuff from her workplace because Phaibun dragged her out. she's now angry and all she can do is to scream inside of her room.

Phaibun: what's wrong, why are you screaming?
Ying: why? can't you just see that i am angry at you and because of you who dragged me outside of my workplace i forgot some of my important stuff there! now, i have to go back there because i needed them!
Phaibun: you're not going anywhere because im not going to allow you to come back there tonight!
Ying: you can't stop me... no one commands me to stop in what i do!
Phaibun: well, then... i'll be the first one to do that because you're not going anywhere.


he closed the door and locked it as she couldn't get out anymore. Ying didn't stop screaming and kept hitting the door, Phaibun ignored it... but as he couldn't take it anymore. he got of their pad and went somewhere...

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


he planned to go back at the bar where he was drinking with Pet awhile ago but the bar was already close and he didn't know where he could find the nearest place to drink. he the remembered Ying's stuff at the workplace, he decided to stop by and get her stuff.

good thing Simla and Tida was still around. aside from Ying's important belongings, he was looking for someone else. "are you looking for someone?", Tida asked.

Phaibun: no... i just came here to get Ying's stuff.
Simla: if you're looking for Sumalee, she went home already.
Phaibun: i dont know her...
Tida: really??? but we just dont understand why you have to dragged Ying to get home awhile ago.
Simla: i hope you don't mind telling us. i kinda get it that you know Sumalee already. but i just don't understand why you were so mad at her awhile ago.
Phaibun: i said i dont know that woman. i just have to get my wife to get home and im here to get her stuff right now. can i go now?


Phaibun went ahead and stopped by at the convenience store to buy some beer in cans, and went home. Ying heard some footsteps approaching and she knew Phaibun's going to check her, so she hurriedly go back to bed and pretended to sleep.

he slowly walks in as soon as he opened the door, assuming that she was asleep. he sat beside her, watching her sleeping he dont know what he would feel but one thing's for sure is that he wouldn't allow Ying to be friend with Sumalee. he just wanted to curse that woman right now and knowing that Ying and Sumalee are working in the same place, he will never allow that woman to be close with his wife. it will never be.

he gets out of her room and lay down on the sofa as the living room became his territory.


its midnight and Ying waited for Phaibun to be asleep. she don't get him at all and what makes her confuse is the scene he made awhile ago infront of her friends and Sumalee. she gets of her room and saw Phaibun sleeping already. Ying saw her stuff on top of the table, her sketch pad and other art materials that she always brings for work. she dont know if she had to forgive from what he did awhile but going back there just to get her stuff... for some reason she can slightly forgive him. but she still needed to find out if why Phaibun had to act that way.

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


meanwhile, Kaew decided to go home and told his staff that he'll check their work tomorrow. but as he got into his house, surprisingly his cousin Sumalee was there. "awww... where did you went awhile ago? you were supposed to come with me at the company to-"

Sumalee: i did... i actually went there to meet you but you weren't around.
Kaew: you didn't call.
Sumalee: why should i? a boss should always be around in the office-
Kaew: hey... im the owner, it's up to me whether i want to go there or not. besides i have to meet my new clients.
Sumalee: i met your employees...
Kaew: Sumalee, they're not just employees. they're well-known event organizers and designers of my company. they partly own the company too!
Sumalee: i met Daeng... i don't think i like the way he directs everything i've seen his works when i was in abroad.
Kaew: Sumalee!
Sumalee: Simla... i think she's nice but i still have to see her work. Tida... she's a good designer but i have a feeling that we'll not get along in the future maybe because of her sarcasm.
Kaew: even if she's like that, she's talented and she has reasons-
Sumalee: whatever that reason is... i still think we'll not get along in the future... and lastly, Ying. Kaew, you didn't tell that Ying is Phaibun's wife!
Kaew:i didn't told you because i thought you already said that you met Ying...
Sumalee: yeah, but she didn't mentioned her last name!!! and speaking of Phaibun, he was also there...
Kaew: what did he said?


she stood in silent for awhile and thought about what happened. indeed he changed a lot even though its just a few months only since they broke up. she remembered how Phaibun dragged Ying and when she tried to follow them... she saw them. kissing while raining outside.

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


Ying woke up and thought she was late but it's still early and she still have time to fix herself for work. she tied her hair wore a statement undershirt and pair with her black blazer and skinny jeans. she got of her room and the aroma of a fried rice welcomes her senses. someone's cooking and she went to the kitchen to see it. Phaibun's cooking for breakfast and as soon as he was done, he transferred it to the plate and was surprised when he saw her.

Phaibun: good morning... breakfast? i made for the two of us.
Ying: im late.
Phaibun: it's still early.
Ying: i don't want to be late.
Phaibun: then let me drive you-
Ying: i said i don't want to be late... (she was about to go.)
Phaibun: wait... (he hurried put the plate on top of the table and grabbed her hand before she leaves.) im sorry for what i did last night. please, have some breakfast first.
Ying: im late-
Phaibun: i said im sorry... (he sincerely apologize for his behavior last night.) please...
Ying: what if i don't want to forgive you?
Phaibun: then i wont stop for being sorry and i will not let you go if you won't forgive me.
Ying: if i will forgive you... you will let me go?
Phaibun: yes...
Ying: okay... i forgive you now. now, get your hands off me because i dont want to be late.
Phaibun: have breakfast with me first.
Ying: but i dont want to- (then her tummy just calls for hunger.)
Phaibun: i dont want you to leave with an empty stomach.


he pulled her and let her sit on a chair. he put some fried rice on her plate, added some sunny side-up and ham. "that's enough!!!", she said and Phaibun stopped serving. he gets poured some coffee for his mug and ask her "coffee or hot choco?"

Ying: hot choco (she noticed that Phaibun was well-prepared for this breakfast. he also knows that she don't drink coffee in the morning and prefers hot choco.)
Phaibun: good thing i prepare the special hot choco for you... (he poured the hot choco to her mug.) i can't believe you're still craving for this one.
Ying: i love aunt's hot choco. i can still remember that she would let me and Thor drink it but Thor doesn't like it.
Phaibun: and that i have to drink his to save him from mom...
Ying: yes... (she smiled... awkwardly. he just let her remembered that he always saves Thor from their mother.)
Phaibun: by the way, speaking of Thor... i think he's coming over tonight.
Ying: why are you telling me that?
Phaibun: because i think it would be interesting to see him, im sure you would want to prepare something delightful dinner for him... don't you think?
Ying: okay then... what do you want me to prepare?
Phaibun: it's up to you-
Ying: what's his favorite dish?
Phaibun: i thought you already knew about that-
Ying: im not gonna ask if i know...
Phaibun: here's a trivia. pick any dish you would like to prepare, but i tell you... Thor is pickier than me.

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


Ying's trying to figure it out what kind of dish she would prepare tonight. she plans to get home early as what Phaibun's expecting, but before she gets home... she needed to pass by at the grocery to shop for the ingredients. she entered the working area where all the models lined up and her friends Daeng, Simla and Tida were there too.

Daeng: good thing you're here now, can we see the sketches?
Ying: yeah, i did...
Simla: i think we have some sort of problems at the moment, Kaew let Sumalee decideds if what designs she prefer.
Ying: is that really a problem? i mean my job is to styling... im the stylist and Tida's the designer.
Simla: that's actually the problem.


"Ying, there you are... come here a second. there's something i need to discuss about this evil girl!", Tida said as she approaches her. she drag her as they went to the rooftop. "Tida... what's wrong?"

Ying: who's that evil girl you're trying to mention?
Tida: that girl is none other than but Sumalee! you know what i've been in this profession not so long but that doesn't mean she's been to modeling for years!
Ying: okay... okay... relax. take a deep breath.
Tida: no! i dont want to!
Ying: Tida, how will i understand you if you're not gonna explain your problem to me very carefully?
Tida: she insulted my designs infront of Kaew! and she even suggests you to design for her!
Ying: i can't do that... im the stylist and that's my job-


"but you also wanted to be a designer. i think you're probably better than her, Mrs. Nakpradith", Sumalee said as she catch up with them at the rooftop. Tida just only got enrage for this woman's behavior.

Tida: you're a model, you have no right to judge my designs. your job is to advertise!
Sumalee: but i wont dress such a thing, if i would be the client i wouldn't approve your designs. im just being honest.
Ying: Sumalee, im sorry... but im not accepting the offer to design.
Sumalee: but why? you got a talent...
Ying: i've been a stylist in this company for years now and though i also love designing, i also love my job. if there's something wrong with Tida's designs... she also consults me and we help out each other.
Sumalee: so you mean you're partly taking responsible to Tida's designs...
Ying: yes and i think you should know that because im the stylist and she's the designer in this company.
Tida: i dont mind if you dont accept my designs. i prefer to choose other models and i prefer them to obey me!
Sumalee: is that mean you're not participating next week's event?
Tida: suit yourself. i dont want to work with a famous model who's unprofessional!


Tida leaves right away and Ying didn't know what to do, she don't want to be blame in this situation and so she followed her friend, leaving Sumalee behind.

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


"i can't believe it...", Pet was so hard to believe that Phaibun and Sumalee meet by fate again. he does feel that this doesn't look good at all and had a bad feeling. "she's really a bitch, why of all places..."

Phaibun: dude, calm down... i did try to calm down when i realize that it was Ying whom i got offended. she maybe doesn't know about me and Sumalee yet and though i have plans to tell her... it doesn't mean im going to tell her right away.
Pet: how can i calm down, huh? Sumalee is Kaew's cousin and you haven't met her cousin yet. Kaew's the company owner where your wife works... that's how small world you have to see Sumalee again...
Phaibun: no... but you know what you're right, im still not at the stage of moving on and she's here bothering me.
Pet: correction. she's not bothering you. she's bankrupt remember? she's back because she needed money to earn and to get her career back...
Phaibun: the hell i care with her career life, the only thing im concern about is that i don't want her to be close with Ying and that's what im afraid about too.
Pet: then if she plans to bother us... i wont hesitate to do some thing bad to her! dude, im with you...
Phaibun: thanks... (he big sighed.)


he hanged up the phone as soon as his conversation with Pet ended. he then received a text message from Ying that she ask him to buy any ingredients he wanted to buy and she'll be the one to prepare the dish. her message ended with something a problem that needed to be solve right away. he wonder if what kind of problem is that.

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


"Tida...", she put her phone back to her pocket and approach her friend. she feels bad for her and she dont want to get blame with what happened awhile ago. "Tida... i just wanna say that-"

Tida: im not angry at you... im angry with Kaew's cousin. i talked to him already and he gave me another project on this one. i told Kaew that i don't want to work with his cousin. i will let you handle next week's event.
Ying: but... you're the designer.
Tida: i know that... but i can't work with her. you saw what happened awhile ago.
Ying: do you want me to talk to her for you?
Tida: nevermind. like i said... i dont want to work with her. you handle this project for now, okay?


Tida leaves as she plans to meet up with the client for the other project that was given to her. Ying is still not confident about this opportunity to express her designs. she gets back to work and started her sketches with the designs, meanwhile Daeng and Simla were busy in accounting and the expenses for this show as they have to pass this documents to Kaew later on.

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


as the day just ended, Ying promised that she needed to go home early and so she left her designs on her desk and left a note that it's for Kaew's approval of the designs she made.

she expects that she could still help around as soon as she gets home but the gathering's just starting already. she then saw Thor and Phaibun talking at the living room, from the kitchen Mae got out and brought some drinks for the brothers. she asked herself as she saw Mae "why is she here?"
