His name is Kasipong.

_______________________Year 1997

After graduating from Mathayom 6, Kasipong chose to continue his studies. Vocational Certificate in Plant Science at the Provincial Agricultural College With a dream of wanting to be a district farmer Phong… is his nickname. Phong is the youngest child of a farmer's family. He has two older siblings. The eldest is a man named Tidsak who married a girl from the same house last year.

As for the middle person, a woman named Rattana, after graduating from Mathayom 6, she carried her bags onto the phaapai bus. Going to be a factory girl in Bang Phli area Rattana sends money to my house every month and it never fails. As for father and mother, their health is not very good. But I have enough energy to help my eldest brother take care of the corn and cassava fields at home a little. The Pong family is not rich. But yes, it will be poor.

They have a normal life like other country people...it's the life of ordinary people in a country where people like to think that The job of a farmer was difficult and poor...and he thought so.

'To bring the knowledge and experience gained to develop agriculture at home,' he wrote in the lines. 'Reason for choosing to study agriculture' on the day of filling out the application

In Phong College, he seems to be closer to Wongrapee or P than anyone else. The two got to know each other on orientation day. That day, he was Pong's necessary babysitter. Even though the teacher ordered it again But P did it willingly. That day, his people looked no different from those from the country and into the capital. Even though he's grown up enough But maybe adapting to the place

New people and stories still take time. The teacher in charge of the dorm arranged for Pong and P to stay in the same room. Together with two friends it was four people. This place is called 'the dormitory'. All first-year students have to live and sleep here. After the second year, you can travel back and forth or rent a private dormitory to live alone.

The dormitory is one floor. Easy to create The room had two sets of bunk beds, a clothes rack, and a wooden table and chairs for doing homework. Behind the room is an outdoor bathing area. and the shared bathrooms are arranged in a row. Further behind is a drying rack and a green galvanized fence. Dormitories have strict rules. There is a conversion activity.

Or go down to the farm for students to do every morning and evening. It is considered hard work for people who have never worked in agriculture before. Less than a month has passed. Many people were so discouraged that they had to move to study. Some people even ran away and returned home.

'Study for free, live regularly, do projects' is the concept written on the sign in front of the dormitory.

P.. has a house in the city. Almost everyone in the house is in government service. Both parents and older brother Only he and his younger sister were still studying. In addition to serving in government service, the P family also has a commercial building rental business. which is an inheritance from P's grandfather Mother P is a Chinese child who does not like trading. But I like government work. His father was a farmer's son. But I don't like farming.

Both of them then became administrative civil servants, working at the city hall. As for his elder brother, he passed the examination and was accepted into a municipality in another province. It's been a long time since I've been able to go home. As for the younger sister named Prae, she is studying in middle school. The school is one of the famous in the province.

Pee Dua has been studying at this agricultural college since graduating from Mathayom 3. from the provincial school amidst the opposition of those around him No matter how worried his parents are about him But both of them were unable to control their child's heart. Because that day no one believed A person who looks like a young lady like him can endure agricultural work. But he was able to prove himself well until then.

Even though he often had to shed tears in his heavy and dirty operations. Pea often gave up, but he never gave up. P once answered questions from friends who asked him why people like him were drawn to this line of study. “We know it's heavy...but we like Farm Chokchai's style. We dream of having that,” he replied in a determined and hopeful tone.

The morning sun fell on P's white face. Until it was clearly seen that it was starting to turn red because of the sun. while using a straw hat to blow away the heat

“I wish you had that. If you have it, don't forget us...we're going to apply to be a manager,” the friend said, seriously.

“Sure, friend… a milker would be perfect for you.” It caused a laugh as if he was joking. But for P, he was serious.

"You're ironing like this, right?..Kimooji Kimooji ikeeike" One friend made a cheeky joke. until the person being teased must stand up Jump and kick high. Around the pile of grass that had just been rake and gathered together. The loud noise made the teacher look at him suspiciously.

“Hey, you guys can work now. Let's just keep playing,” the teacher shouted as he pointed his finger at the group. It caused everyone to quickly grab their equipment and make gestures.

The picture of Farm Chokchai that P went on a field trip to in Mathayom 3 is still clear in my mind and has not faded. Because of that dream, P received a vocational certificate in Agriculture. And that dream still took him all the way to the Vocational Certificate. Today's Animal Science Branch

With studying and that Ban Phong is in a different district So Phong rarely returned home. Most of Pong's time is spent at the college and dormitory. First known During the holidays, I often invite Pong to play at home. But lately, P's parents tend to be the ones who invite him over. Because Pong is a hard-working person who is easy-going and doesn't mind work.

P's parents therefore paid respects to Wan and asked him to always be a helping hand in the house. And he was happy to help as much as he could. Phong's diligence makes P have to be diligent as well. This made Mae Phi particularly pleased.

Another reason why Pong likes to come to this house. Because he will read books to prepare for the civil service exam. that P's brother arranged carefully The owners of these books became Phong's idols. Even though he had never met the real owner once..every time he had free time he would read it with hope.

Days and nights passed with the two people becoming closer. Vocational Certificate student life There's only two years. So time seems fast if you live with it happily. A year of life is about to pass. This big semester break comes with an internship. Phong chose to train at the provincial horticultural research center. P chose to train at Farm Chokchai, which he missed.

From now on it will be three full months. that everyone must gain experience and face the world The real world itself

After completing the internship course Pong has one week to return home. before returning to college to begin studying as normal The first week of the second semester passed quickly as usual. This Friday is another day that he returns home with P. After disappearing for many months

The doorbell sounded again. But P, ​​the owner of the house, was still focused on the game screen. Phong had to put down the book. Then he hurriedly got up and opened the front door of the house.

“Is Phi Phi there?” She was in her high school uniform. Picking up my hair, I asked the man who opened the door. Phong responded with a nod. The visitor hurriedly walked in in a familiar manner. Phong must have been the one to follow her with an interested expression.

“Phi Phi, little Meow is sick,” said a sad-faced woman in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry. In her arms, she cradled the brown box carefully. P looked at her with a confused expression. before leaving the screen Then walked out to meet her at the door of the room. P looked down at the box. Saw an orange cat stretched out. Eyes wide open, breathing softly.”

Phi Phi, can you help me please?” she said in a pleading tone.

"Yes...the doctor who taught you is very good, I can assure you," P said confidently. It made her feel much less worried. He hurried over to pick up the keys to the pickup truck. Invite the two people to get in the car. Then started the engine and walked out of the garage carefully. P was the driver. The person sitting in the front seat next to P was her. The person sitting in the back seat is Phong.

His two hands supported the box on his lap. Phong noticed that the woman often looked at this box. And he always secretly locked eyes with those pairs. She must really love this cat. Phong also felt sorry for her.

'Pim..Pimporn' Pong repeated her name in his mind when he heard the two people talking and saw the name embroidered on the shirt. He noticed the tone of voice. P and you probably aren't lovers... Phong smiles to himself. and secretly looked into her eyes several times

On Friday evenings like this, traffic is often heavy. By the time the four lives reached college, time was running out. Fortunately, the doctor hasn't returned yet.

"Teacher, I'll try." The doctor said before heaving a heavy sigh.

The doctor is a veterinarian. that teaches about diseases and treatment of animals The box was carried into the lab. Here, in addition to Ajahn Mor and Phong's group, There was another group of seniors doing research in another part of the room. It helps keep the atmosphere in the room from being too lonely.

Even though it was the same college, he was not familiar with this area at all. Probably because it wasn't the faculty he used to study at regularly. The clock said it was close to 9 p.m. The seniors who were working on research gradually all returned. There was only P in the room who could help the doctor pick up anything. Phong saw the doctor's expression.

I know that the cat is probably in serious trouble.

"I can't take it," the doctor said before Phong walked out of the room. On the balcony, the wind blows and touches your skin. Until Phong felt strangely cold. Looking at the atmosphere in the room, he didn't want to guess the situation anymore...but then what he didn't want to guess happened like that.

On the way back, the atmosphere in the car was quieter than on the way back. Phong took on the same duties. The difference is that the cat's body in the box started to stiffen. As for typing, he sits still like a person who has been tired all day. There were only a few words of comfort from P that pierced the silence.

Until the car stopped in front of a house. Located in the government official residence village Phong carried the box down and handed it to her. "Thank you very much, Phi Phi...Phi Pong." She smiled at them both, her eyes still wet. before taking that box and walking into the house

Phong is glad that she remembers his name. As well as he still remembers the name. Always have that sad face and eyes. It was not difficult for the young man if he wanted to meet the woman he loved at first sight again. When her name, address and school He remembered it more clearly than the fertilizer formula the teacher had forced him to memorize.

Type...she is studying in Mathayom 6. Provincial school The same school that P used to study. Her parents were civil servants who had just moved from another province at the beginning of the year. Soon her family and P's family became close. More importantly, she was the only remaining daughter of that house. Because she used to have an older sister but she left everyone in an accident many years ago.

The evening sun shines on the Yang Na trees like they are golden trees. The sound of cuckoos carried on the wind. It was a time when Pong and his friends were working hard to finish watering the vegetables in their own plot. Before the sky becomes so dark you can't see anything.

“Our clan has something to discuss with you.” A familiar voice sounded familiar to the ears of a familiar person. coming from behind P stood there, his face shining in the soft evening sunlight. The serious look on his face made Phong feel uncomfortable. He was silent for a long time before speaking, “Pong… you're my friend, why wouldn't I know what you're thinking? What are you doing?” Pronouns changed.

This made Pong even more worried. His heart wanted to retort in a joking manner, hoping to lighten the atmosphere. But had to abandon the idea

“I don't think I'll say it. I'm going to pretend I don't know or not. But you weren't careful. Don't forget to type C. Whose daughter...Who knows his younger sister?..." P deliberately paused.

“Yesterday..my father and mother saw you and Nong Pim walking hand in hand in front of the market.”

Phong, he was right in acting only as a listener. He felt embarrassed and guilty at the same time.

“I just came to warn you. Do whatever you want to make it beautiful...I don't mind you. But my parents are serious.” P smiled wryly before walking back. Phong felt so overwhelmed that he had to place the watering can down on the ground slowly, like a person about to lose his strength. He knows that P always wants the best for him. It's true that he does things too according to his own heart. His imprudence

Bullies will put their loved ones in a difficult position. The sound of heart-breaking country music could be heard from the guardhouse. Describe the story of Dokfa and the temple dog. It made him hate himself and the uncle who played the song even more.

Entering the rainy season in full force Results of both theory and interview examinations. To select suitable people to undergo bilateral agricultural training in Japan. Everyone is waiting to see who will meet the criteria. Only three people will have this privilege. And the result made Phong almost jump and dance.

Because the name Kasipong is one of the three people. For the next four months, he must be ready in every aspect, including language, culture, and physical readiness. and documentary evidence And it will be a full year that he and his lover must be apart. At that time, Pim would have gone to study in Bangkok. Phong is confused. He felt fulfilled and disappointed at the same time…

Pimporn hasn't seen Pong's face for months. She learned from P that he got a scholarship to go to Japan. And he had to prepare hard. There probably won't be time to meet up like before. Pimphon understands and wants to give him time. Meanwhile, her friends urged her to go find him herself. She hesitated that it wouldn't be good. Because I am a woman...

But on the other hand, she missed him too much to bear.

After school that day The early season wind blows from far away. In the pond… leaves and lotus flowers flowed in waves. On Phong Road, take your bicycle and walk alongside Pim. Below on one side are the fisheries department's weir and pond. There were his friends doing farm work in the middle of the pond. A teasing sound came up. But it doesn't sound right.

Pong Chuan Chuan printed it for him to look at in a funny way. It had been almost a month since they had not seen each other. He and she had many stories to tell each other.

“Congratulations,” she smiled at him. Phong smiled as a thank you.

“Recently, I've been busy with many things,” Pong confessed truthfully. His heart was still heavy with the Japanese language test he was about to take.

“On the day of boarding the plane…the print probably won't be delivered.”

Even though it's as expected But Phong couldn't help feeling disappointed. From now on, it will be much more difficult to find an opportunity to meet. Because he has to tutor harder every day. Both disciplinary and academic aspects As for her, she is probably busy with university entrance exams. Phong took her to see the vegetables he was growing in the trial plot. Beside it, there is a bed of winter flower plants competing with each other and looking beautiful in their blooms.

On both sides of the road are rows of tall coconut trees. The bicycle took them to a dairy farm where P could hang out all day. On the opposite side is a pen of milk buffalo and sheep goats. Ahead was a grass field as far as the eye could see. Looking up, he saw dark clouds floating low and getting closer and closer.

"It's about to rain...I'll probably have to go back."

"I'll send it for you."

Before long, it started to rain. A young woman walks with an umbrella on one side of the road. As for the young man walking on the other side walking his bicycle in the rain. She felt worried. Even though it felt funny seeing him soaking wet like that. Phong turned and smiled and made eye contact with her again before he let her continue walking alone until he was out of sight...

It made him late for special classes. It is also a field subject. “Where have you been, Kasipong?” the trainer asked him. Pong was stunned as his body was soaked. In addition to being paroled Pong also had to be punished with a brutal training pose that everyone called a preparation pose. Luckily, this was the first time he had broken the rules.

Even though there were two more chances left But he probably wouldn't make that mistake again. “It's almost time to fly. Don't get yourself into trouble... you too." The trainer warned him and his friends in a strong tone. Pong felt scared when he thought about tomorrow. The day his body would be in excruciating pain all over.

A farewell ceremony was held in front of the flagpole. Today, Phong and two friends are heroes, directors, teachers, and friends. Gradually, people came up to say congratulations and give bouquets of flowers and gifts. Loud applause echoed throughout the stadium. He and his friends smiled proudly. This was just a small percentage of the results he would receive from this success.

Only when he returns It will become a good passport to enter the civil service path that he hopes for… 2:00 a.m. is Pong's flight time. But at 10:00 p.m., everyone must be together at the meeting point in the college.

The royal farewell party There was another time in the evening. This time there is only mother. Pregnant brother and sister-in-law and close friends This restaurant is a regular restaurant where this group comes to eat and become close friends with the owner. But this time they didn't have to pay because Jay was the host. Phong barely touched the food. He felt so stuffed that he couldn't eat anything else. Just like his mother and brother, who watched him with admiration and satisfaction.

Pimphon has just returned home. She slipped away from the banquet to send her father's boss. P's parents were also at the event. Pimp her to sit and wait for Phong with eager heart. In her hand was a sweet colored scarf that she had intended to knit herself. Pim gently lifted it up to his chest and cheek. It's like he's afraid it will hurt. The sound of a motorcycle coming to a stop in front of the house.

Pimphon prays that it will be the person she is waiting for. P'Phong...she called his name in her heart. and hurriedly got up and went to the gate Her eyes looked at that motorcycle. It looks similar to Pee Yang's motorcycle.

“This one? A gift from my older sister.” She smiled at their similar tastes.

“Yes, sir,” Phong smiled widely, showing his white and neatly arranged teeth.

Pim invited him to sit in the living room. You are innocent And your parents will understand. Because both of you are mature and reasonable. The clock in the living room said it was several minutes past nine. Lady's fingernail flowers give off a gentle fragrance. floating through the curtains and covering the room Pimphon decided to give the scarf to his lover.

Phong smiled widely and accepted it willingly.

“It must be cold there...maybe it's not pretty when I'm just practicing.” It's true what she said. It's really not beautiful.

“It's art,” he said, smiling as he held it to his chest. His condition made Pimphon tilt his head in shame.

“Send me some news, P’Pong,” she begged. Pong looked her in the eye and nodded. Phong couldn't say anything. When I saw those sad eyes

The two talked for a long time until the bell rang loudly from the guardhouse in the middle of the village. It rings to signal the time of nine o'clock. The time of people who love each other always passes quickly. It was appropriate for the two of them to part.

The van has the agency's logo. Slowly moving in, stopping in front of the house. “What is Phi doing here so late?” a man in his fifties complained when he saw a motorcycle parked in front of his house. The gate of the house was opened. The friends and subordinates who accompanied him hurried to support him when they saw the first man staggering.

“Father,” a soft voice typed.

“Good things require you to take it easy, you guys.” A loud noise came as the door to the room opened.

He already knew that the person who opened the door was the father of the woman he loved. Phong felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't act properly. What should he do to be suitable in a situation where all eyes are on him and her?

“Father...this is my friend P'Phong. He's going to do an internship in Japan. So I asked you to bring me a souvenir.” It was true what she said. Because she and he had never agreed to be lovers.

“Hello,” Phong raised his hand to greet everyone.

When the influence of alcohol mixes with rank and honor makes reason become worthless Little things become big things. The normal behavior of the two of them made the drunken man's anger intensify. Khom Maori punched Pong in the face as he never expected his lover's father to be this reckless. The drunk man's punch was not very heavy.

But it made him stagger and almost fall. The people who came together were shocked and rushed in to stop them because of the influence of alcohol.

“Who are you? What are you doing one-on-one with my child so late at night?” Pimphon felt like the sky had struck her heart. She had never seen her father act like this before. Tears flowed from her eyes as her body collapsed there. Drunk people don't listen to anyone. Even the daughter As for Phong Ying and Yai The more he spoke, the more he gave reasons.

It's like pouring gasoline on the fire. The insults, punches, and restraints became even fiercer. Phong allows drunk people to act alone. Wouldn't even push or defend himself. Meanwhile, his blood still continued to flow. When I saw it, it was as if her heart almost gave out.

“Look,” the drunk man spread his hands around. “Look at how Daddy is ashamed of him, see.”

“We don't have anything. We are innocent.” Pong tried to keep his voice hoarse.

“Oh, I believe you, buffalo!!! But who will believe me? Look at the whole house full of people…damn!!” Once again, the palm of his hand hit his face with a loud “Phew” sound, the sound ended. Phong collapsed as if he'd been knocked out in mid-air. Pimphon crawled into his lover's arms like a crazy person. She cried out, blaming herself for causing him to be in this situation.

The drunk people stopped each other in a chaotic manner. On the floor, Phong pressed his face against his face, clenching his teeth tightly. He tried hard to suppress his emotions. Pimphon's voice was still sobbing in his ear. Even though I feel so sorry for her, But I was at a loss as to what else I could do.

The image of his daughter hugging and supporting a young man This made the father even more angry: “I will call the police and have you arrested.”

It's already past 10 p.m. The waxing moon stood out in the sky. The teacher and his friends met at 10:00 p.m. Phong has been gone for a very long time. P's demeanor is more restless than everyone else. He was the only one who could guess where his best friend had gone. P ran out of patience and started the car thinking about going to Pim's house. Just then, an E-Tan car ran through the darkness and came to a stop in front of the store, making a loud noise like a tank.

“Hey guys, your friend's chips are gone. Ai Phong was arrested The teacher said he went up to the house to find his daughter. Let's all go help each other at the police station quickly."

But Phong wasn't at the police station. And no one can help him. The resolution of the emergency telephone meeting was that Kasipong was disqualified by the project committee before midnight. He begged the police to take him out of that house. Please help take him to college like a hopeful person.

“Teacher has asked for directions from the elders. But I can't...Phong,” the advisor told him. When he inserts a coin, call and ask. “No matter what the rules are, they must be the rules..” The teacher's sobbing sound made him even more depressed.

“I'm sorry, Master,” he said from his heart in a trembling voice.

“It's okay, Master, I understand you. The teacher is waiting for you to come here. You know, Master and his friends, we searched everywhere and couldn't find them..so how are you?"

"It's okay, Teacher...it's very comfortable," Phong replied with a laugh, hoping to cover it up. and feeling amused in one's own good fortune

“Just now our friends started causing trouble at the police station again. The teacher will have to go into the police station again. And you stay....." Pong deliberately didn't put in any more coins. He staggered out of the phone booth, helpless. “Please arrest me,” Phong begged the two policemen again. Then he took his weary body and sat down there.

The dim lights revealed a battered face. He let tears flow down his cheeks. It must have been too long for him to hold it back... Phong allowed himself to sob without shame.

Kasipong's story was recorded on the front page of the local newspaper the next day...a pervert attacked and raped the daughter of the Provincial Secretary at her house.
