Story by Tum Standard

Three o'clock in the morning at the motorcycle taxi stand in Om Yai Market, dozens of motorcycle taxis parked in a row. Many cars ran out to deliver passengers. And many more cars ran back to win.

Every day there are many passengers coming to use this service because there is a sewing factory. There is a central vegetable and fruit market and apartments for rent operating around Om Yai Market. It is also the point where many bus lines end their distance at Om Yai Market.

Sompop, a young man in his thirties who has been driving a motorbike for hire, has been living here for about two years. With a tall, muscular figure, a handsome face, he speaks sweetly and smiles happily with everyone. Make Sompop beloved by friends in Win.

Amon Head Win who has a handsome appearance, black skin, likes to drink liquor in the evening every day

“Please take me by motorcycle.”

A woman clad in black culottes, carrying a large canvas bag, called up.

“Pad”

Sompop's motorcycle engine rumbled.

“Apop, please send Ua away.”

“Yes, sister.”

A large canvas bag was placed in the front basket of the car. Sompop drove his motorcycle to the back of the market, with Jay Rian sitting on the back.

A period of one month ago Sompop Received and sent Je Rian many times until the two knew each other quite well. Je Rian herself knows and appreciates Sompop's hospitality.

For a long time I drove my motorbike along the narrow path that passed in front of many rental rooms. Until they stopped in front of a large two-story house with the door locked and locked.

Sompop parked Jay Rian's motorcycle, got out of the car and sat on a marble horse in front of the house. A large canvas bag was carried and placed next to Je Coin.

“Thank you very much, Aphop.”

"It's okay, sis."

Sompop received the fare and drove back on his motorcycle. With the eyes of Je Rian following him until he was out of sight.

At 9 p.m., Sompop and Amon entered the queue for the final win of the day.

“It's already 9 p.m. There probably aren't any passengers, so I'd better go back first.”

“I'm staying a little longer.”

"Oh, that's good too. It's already sour in your mouth."

Amon rode his motorcycle a long time ago. Sompop is still sitting at the win line next to his partner's motorcycle.

Light a cigarette and smoke comfortably. Turn to look around. Every once in a while, there will be a bus that stops at a nearby stop.

Cigarette smoke was blown out of his nose until it was gone, butts were thrown on the floor. Reaching into the pocket of his pants and a handful of coins, he counted slowly.

“Over three hundred baht today.”

Sompop said to himself happily, put all the money into his pocket, then drove his motorcycle out of the garage and filled up the gas station near the main road until the tank was full. Drive the motorcycle back to the front of the win. Saw a woman sitting at the taxi stand looking like she was waiting for a motorcycle. So he stopped and asked while still wearing his shirt.

“Would you like to go on a motorcycle?”

"I'm not going. I'm waiting for my relatives to come pick me up."

She was a petite white woman wearing jeans and a black short-sleeved t-shirt. His hair was cut to shoulder length and a large suitcase was on the floor next to him.

Big break at Sompop He parked his motorcycle as a friend without the young woman saying anything. Out of politeness, he drove his motorcycle home, leaving her sitting alone.

The next morning Sompop drove his motorcycle out of the room like every day. And every morning, the first win always belongs to Sompop who wins first.

This morning was the same. Sompop arrived at Win before anyone else. But when we parked in front of Win, we saw the woman from last night sitting on a bench with her head resting on a large bag, sleeping comfortably.

For a long time Sompop stood and looked at her with pity. Knowing that she was having problems and suffering Seeing the tear stains on both of her cheeks

“You, sir.”

Sompop called softly several times. Until she opened her eyes in a drowsy state.

“Did your relative not come to pick you up last night?”

There was no answer from the girl. Instead, he stood up and twisted his body around, his eyes red. Sompop knew that she had cried all night last night.

“Is there a house for rent in this area?”

"Yes, but right now it's still early in the morning. There probably aren't any places open for me."

Sompop's answer caused her to stand still with her mouth open and yawning as if she were extremely sleepy.

“Please take me. I will call the owner.”

"okay"

Sompop drives his motorcycle to take the first passengers in line towards Jay Rian's rented house. that I myself am renting

The motorcycle was running and the passenger sitting behind him had his face on his back and still had both arms tightly wrapped around Sompop's waist.

"I guess I'm asleep."

When we arrived in front of Che Rian's house, everything was quiet, all the doors were closed. The passenger was still asleep and refused to wake up.

“You guys woke up early and arrived at the rented house.”

Calling and shaking, but the passenger was still asleep and refused to wake up.

"What should we do?"

Sompop said to himself and looked at the nearby door of his room. What did you think for a long time?

"I'll take it."

He said to himself and supported the figure behind him into the closed door.

Turn the key to open the room door He supported his still sleeping body into a large rocking chair in the room near the door.

Sompop came out and sat on the bench in front of the room at the same time that Jay Rian opened the door of the house and came out with food. Food to prepare for giving alms to monks, Sompop hurriedly got up to help bring the table and set it up in front of the house.

"Thank you Apop. Aren't you going to ride a motorcycle today?"

“Go, sister.”

Three monks walked and stopped in front of the house. Sompop helped Jae Coin give alms to monks until it was finished.

“Do you still have a room available?”

“Why are you asking? There's already a room for rent here."

"In case there are passengers coming to rent it, sister."

“Well, if you want to bring one, then that's it. Aw will give you a commission.”

Sompop sat and talked with Jay Rian for a while, then got up and walked back to the room. The eyes of Jay Rian followed him suspiciously.

“Unfortunately today, it's strange.”

Walking back into the room, I glanced at the sleeping figure in the rocking chair. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, it was eight o'clock in the morning.

from the sight seen She is considered to be a beautiful person. But who is she, where does she come from, is she evil or good? Probably let her sleep peacefully.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the figure lying on the rocking chair raised both of his arms and twisted them back and forth. Both eyes opened.

The picture you saw was a narrow room with no furniture. There was only a large rocking chair that he was leaning on and a large bag on the floor nearby.

The aroma of the food floats in and you can smell it.

“Are you awake? Go wash your face before breakfast is already prepared.”

Sompop walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of food and placed it on the floor.

“Who are you and where are you?”

“Here is my room. You asked me to take you to find a house to rent this morning.”

“Then why did you bring me to your room?”

“So you were asleep on the motorcycle and refused to wake up. So I brought him to stay in my room first.”

“And is the rental house you brought here far away?”

“It's right next to my room. Now go wash your face before you come eat breakfast.”

The young woman got up and walked to the bathroom considerately.

After a while, the young woman walked back and sat in the same place where the table of food was placed.

“Let's eat first.”

Sompop finished speaking and handed over a plate of rice.

From hunger because he hadn't eaten since yesterday evening. The young woman ate an entire plate of rice. until both of them were full at the same time

"I'll pick up the deck myself."

The young woman put the dishes into the kitchen. Sompop wiped and scrubbed the sitting area until it was clean.

“Your skill in frying eggs is very delicious.”

The young woman walked over and sat near Sompop and spoke softly.

"Thank you very much for watching...."

“Yes, my name is Pornthip.”

"Yes, my name is Sompop."

After breakfast, the two of them talked amongst themselves.

“How do I take you to find the landlord?”

“OK.”

Sompop walked in front of Pornthip to Je Rian's house. He saw the door was locked and sat on the bench in front of the house.

For nearly half an hour, there was no sign that Sister Coin would return.

“Better go back and wait in my room. You will take a shower and change into new clothes.”

"nevermind"

“I want to be considerate. I'm alone. Please invite Mr. Pornthip.”

Pornthip walked back to the room as invited. Take a shower and change into new clothes until you feel more comfortable.

“There are no chairs in my house, so I have to sit on the floor.”

“I don't know, but the house is clean.”

"Thank you for watching. Please rest comfortably. If you're lonely, you can turn on and watch TV."

“Aren't you wondering who I am, where I come from, or whether I've run away from someone?”

Sompop stared at the young woman's face steadily and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

“For the sake of politeness, I don't dare ask unless you tell me.”

"Yes, I'm not a criminal who ran away from the law."

Part 2

Same time on a motorcycle Amon is complaining to Sompop. Stay with friends in Win. Everyone said the same thing that since morning no one had seen Sompop.

“Or is that Pop sick? I guess I'll have to go look at it in my room.”

Amon talks to his friends. Then drive the motorcycle out of the winway.

Turn the motorcycle off the main road into the alley in front of Sompop's shophouse. Saw Sompop's motorcycle parked in front of the room.

“Is Phoboi there?”

Amon called as he parked his motorcycle and pushed the door open.

When I stepped into the room, Saw a young woman sitting and watching TV. Sompop is sleeping next to the room door.

“Who are you looking for?”

The young woman's question made Amon Standing still, speechless

“Come and see Sompopman.”

“Khun Sompop is sleeping.”

"Oh, Brother Amon, sit first."

Sompop woke up and invited Amon. Sit and get up and pull Amon's arm to sit. I myself walked into the kitchen and came out with a full glass of cold water.

“Drink water first.”

"thank"

Amon took the glass of water and held it. and looked into Sompop's eyes as if wondering who the woman sitting was

“This is Mr. Pornthip. I'm looking for a house to rent."

"This morning, I rode Mr. Sompop's motorcycle from Win to look for a room to rent. The owner was not home."

Amon glanced at Sompop as if asking for confirmation.

“Really?”

"Yes, I believe you."

“Wait!”

A motorcycle came and stopped in front of Jay Rian's house. Then the motorcycle came and stopped in front of Sompop's room.

"Hey Pop, there's a special program with P'Amon since this morning."

There was a sound at the front of the room and a tall, black man wearing a motorcycle helmet stepped into the room. When he saw that Sompop and Amon were talking with a strange woman The young man sat down next to Amon.

"I'm sorry, Pop. I didn't know there were guests."

“It's okay, Goh. Who did you send?”

"Come send sister coin"

“Are there a lot of passengers at the taxi stand?”

"There's a lot, man. Just now I came out and the car lost all power."

“Phop, Goh and I will go back first. Hurry and take Mr. Pornthip to contact the room.”

Amon and Goh drive away on their motorcycles. Sompop leads Pornthip to the door of Je Rian's house.

"Je coin"

"Okay, wait a minute."

A voice came from behind the house. Je Coin walked out.

"What's wrong with Apop?"

"Khun Pornthip will come to rent a room."

Je Rian looked at Pornthip for a moment.

“How many people are staying?”

“The only one is a woman.”

“Are you an ill-fated relative or not?”

Sompop didn't answer and turned to look at Phonthip's face for a moment.

“Yes, you are my relative.”

“There is a spare room next to Lue's.”

"Jeez, then I'd like to continue renting."

“OK, the price is the same as Lue's.”

“Yes, sister.”

Sompop receives the room key from Jay Rian. Then he grabbed Pornthip's wrist and walked to the room with the padlock.

“Apop Lue, will there be love or not?”

Je Rian muttered to herself as she looked after the two young people.

“Grack”

Sompop unlocked the room key and opened the door. Both of them stepped inside. There was only an empty room.

“Can I stay?”

"okay"

Sompop, if he didn't go out and drive his motorcycle, would have helped Pornthip clean the room until it was finished.

“Thip must thank you very much for your help.”

"nevermind"

Sompop gave Pornthip many necessary appliances that were still lacking.

Five p.m. after paying the rent and deposit to Je Rian in full according to the agreement. Phonthip wanted Sompop to drive his motorcycle to Om Yai Market to buy some missing supplies.

“Thip said we'd better eat dinner at the market then go back to our room so we don't have to worry.”

Sompop Wae, an a la carte restaurant in front of the market, is a regular customer. Pornthip is the bookmaker who pays for all the food.

At 6 p.m., the two returned to their rooms. Pornthip returned to the room and closed the door quietly.

dawn, dawn, dusk Sompop left the room and drove his motorcycle as usual like every day.

Pornthip was lying left and right in the room before Sompop drove his motorcycle out of the room. Until he heard the sound of a motorcycle running away, he got up to wash his face and brush his teeth.

Eight o'clock in the morning while Pornthip was mopping the floor of Sompop's room. Drive a motorcycle and park in front of the room.

“Khun Pornthip.”

“Is there something wrong?”

Pornthip opened the front door to meet Sompop. Comes with boxed lunch and drinking water.

"I bought some rice for you."

“Thank you very much, please take a seat.”

Sompop stepped into the room and sat down. Pornthip scooped up a bowlful of cold water and handed it to him.

“Thank you very much for buying many boxes of rice for me.”

“For lunch too.”

“In the middle of the day, Thip plans to go out to the market to do business.”

Sompop and Pornthip sat and ate quietly until they were full.

“What time will you go to the market to do business?”

“In the late morning.”

“Can I be the person to pick you up?”

“Yes, but you have to pay for the car.”

"yes"

Pornthip sat on the back of Sompop's motorcycle and entered the market.

Thawee Apartment is the place where Pornthip told Sompop to drive his motorcycle to him.

Dozens of apartments five stories high. Pornthip went up to the second floor, overlooking the office's glass room. Many male and female employees sat at desks working.

Sompop looked at Pornthip's figure walking up the stairs. From a slender, white-skinned body, wearing a knee-length blue skirt and a pink floral-patterned shirt. Shoulder length hairstyle Hold a file in your left hand. The appearance is like someone who has worked in an office before.

“Why did Pornthip come here? Or will you move here?”

Sompop thought in his heart and looked around.

Almost an hour later, Pornthip walked back down from the office with a smile on his face.

“Wait a long time?”

“Not long.”

Sompop drove his motorcycle and took Pornthip out of front of the apartment. Go to a nearby shrine The two went to pay respects to the large godfather at the shrine. where many people are worshiping

For a long time the two of them sat with their hands folded in front of the godfather. The smell of incense and the heat from the candle flames filled the air, making the two of them feel as if they were in a happy land.

Sompop drove his motorcycle out of the market.

“We'd better stop by for lunch.”

Pornthip told Sompop who was driving a motorcycle.

Sompop Wae is a restaurant that is not fancy. Rustic style set on the riverbank

Two plates of plain rice and a plate of sour vegetable curry and stir-fried mixed vegetables were ordered and placed on the table.

“Let's eat together.”

“The food is really delicious, do you come here often?”

“I used to come here often, but I came to drop off passengers.”

Surrounding conditions of the store There is coolness from the water. The two talked intimately.

“Today Thip brought me to celebrate getting a job.”

“What do you mean?”

"Today Thip went to apply for a job as an accountant at Thawee Apartment. He starts work tomorrow."

“And how did you know he needed employees?”

“A friend gave it to me.”

Sompop has many doubts about Phonthip's identity. But out of politeness, he didn't dare ask.

“Please give me a little more time. Then I will tell you all about the divine.”

At 1 p.m., Sompop drove his motorcycle to deliver Pornthip to his room and accepted the two hundred baht fare as promised. Then go back to win again.

“Wait!”

Sompop's motorcycle roared in front of the win. Many friends are sitting and talking.

"Hey, there's a beautiful female passenger in the world."

Amon said loudly and many friends laughed.

“Oh, Pop, you are a beautiful person.”

Goh, who was wiping off his motorcycle, teased.

"Well, that's an ordinary passenger, Mr."

“What passenger? Take this young man on a motorcycle to sit and eat alone at a riverside restaurant.”

“How do you know?”

“Let's drop off passengers there.”

“Then why is the pretty passenger in your room, friend?”

"It's a long story. I'll tell you about it."

"If you have a boyfriend, I say it's good. If you've been single for a long time, the world will be brighter."

“If you don't, it's better to call a passenger.”

Sompop cut him off and turned to call the passenger who was walking towards him.

Chapter 3

Late Sunday morning Drive a motorcycle and park in front of the room. Today is Pornthip's holiday and he opened the door of the room just in time.

“Back so quickly.”

“I felt a headache so I went back to taking medicine. Aren't you going to work today?"

“It's just a two-day holiday.”

From a set of gray three-quarter pants and a loose, round-neck, yellow short-sleeved T-shirt. It made Pornthip look more beautiful than every day that Sompop had ever seen him, causing him to look at him without blinking.

“Do you have any doubts?”

“No.”

"Have you eaten rice yet"

"not yet"

“Would you like to go eat at a restaurant by the river? Thip is the owner.”

“OK, but you have to let me be the dealer because last time you paid.”

"okay"

Sompop drove his motorcycle out of the room even though he never thought anything of Thip. But for today, the weather is cool and there are not many customers in the store. Make it as if he and Pornthip were in the world alone with Pornthip. The cool breeze blowing from the river made her pink cheeks stand out naturally and beautifully. The flowing hair made Sompop look at him in awe.

“Why look at Thip?”

The voice that spoke up made Sompop smile shyly.

“Uh huh.”

"Oh, but you just stay there and don't say anything, so how do you know about it?"

"That is...Today Thip is more beautiful than every day."

Pornthip Lomyim Face as red as a gourd

“Thank you for watching.”

“I'm telling the truth.”

“Where should we travel next?”

Pornthip spoke softly with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

“Shall we go on a boat trip?”

"okay"

Pornthip sits at the table. Sompop got up and walked to the customer service counter, said a few words to the employee and then walked back to the table.

“All right, the boat will come soon.”

“Brün”

The sound of the engine of a beautifully painted long-tail boat with a sun roof and a large engine on the back of the boat came to rest on the restaurant's pier. The helmsman piloting the boat was a middle-aged woman dressed entirely in gray breeches.

“The ship has arrived.”

The restaurant staff walked up to the table and said

Sompop took Phonthip to walk to the pier where a young female helmsman stood holding the boat steady on the pier.

“Please come.”

Sompop stepped down to stand in the middle of the boat and turned to give his right hand to Pornthip who was still standing on the dock.

Pornthip extended his right hand and shook Sompop's hand. At the same time, their eyes met.

“Come on.”

Pornthip steps into the boat. Sitting down on the seat in the middle of the boat, Sompop sat down together.

“All right.”

Sompop turned to tell the helmsman who was standing near the engine at the stern of the boat.

“Brunch.”

The engine roared as the helmsman Put the gear into gear and twist the accelerator.

The boat slowly left the dock, turning against the current.

Phonthip has known Sompop for many days, but has never touched each other until today. When they touched each other, he felt a strange feeling, his body felt hot and flushed when he held hands with Sompop.

“Is something wrong?”

Sompop asked Phonthip, who was watching the villagers on the river bank carrying clear baskets of coconuts into the boat.

"nothing"

Boats run in the middle of the river at high speeds. Sometimes there are long-tailed boats as well. There was a big boat with big waves rushing against it, causing big waves to splash and soak Phonthip.

“Wow, the water is wet.”

Pornthip cried out in shock and pressed her body close to Sompop's.

"excuse me"

"nevermind"

The fresh air and coolness of the river make the body feel refreshed. Sompop looked at Pornthip's expression and knew that she was at ease.

“How do you feel about taking a boat trip today?”

“Very good, but Thip is afraid the boat will capsize because he doesn't know how to swim.”

“Don't be afraid, the boat won't capsize because there are only the two of us on this trip. Normally, they carry dozens of people and it hasn't capsized yet.”

“Thip, let's go back.”

Sompop turned and signaled the helmsman to take him back to the restaurant as before.

An engine that is running at full speed is reduced in number of revolutions. The hull of the running boat slowed and drifted slowly, and the helmsman forced the hull to make a U-turn and return to the original direction. When the ship was turning The helmsman accelerated the engine to make the boat turn quickly at the same time that the boat tilted to the side where Pornthip was sitting until it was filled with water, causing Pornthip to be shocked.

"Wow, P'Phop, the boat is leaning."

Startled, Pornthip hugged Sompop's waist tightly.

"Don't be alarmed. The boat just tilted and still hasn't capsized."

Sompop spoke comfortingly and used his right arm to wrap his arm around Pornthip's shoulder in comfort. Then he turned to look at the helmsman who was smiling at the stern of the boat.

“Brün”

The engine roared again and the ship's tilted hull took off quickly.

“The boat isn't tilting, so open your eyes.”

Pornthip slowly opened his eyes and found himself hugging Sompop's waist. So he quickly relaxed his arms.

"excuse me"

"nevermind"

Soon the helmsman brought the boat to the restaurant's pier as usual. Sompop handed two red bills to the helmsman who was holding the boat.

"Thank you very much. Next time I'll come ride your boat again."

Sompop walked hand in hand with Pornthip from the pier towards his motorcycle.

“Pad”

A motorcycle came and parked nearby without Sompop noticing.

“Pop, are you coming to eat?”

Turned around at the sound of the voice calling and saw Amon parked his motorcycle.

“Where did you go?”

“Come and buy a mimosa sour soup. Today is Pee Pai's birthday. If you're free, please come to my friend's house this evening."

“Thip, this is P'Amon.”

“Hello, my name is Thip.”

“Yes, hello.”

Amon walked into the restaurant.

“Would you like to go to Pee Amorn's house, Thip?”

Pornthip stood and hesitated, as if afraid of something.

“I assure you, there is nothing scary. P'Pai is P'Amon's wife."

“OK, that's fine.”

“Pad”

Sompop drove his motorcycle out of front of the restaurant when Pornthip got into the back seat.

“Will this motorcycle roll like the boat from just a moment ago?”

Pornthip asked as he wrapped both hands around Sompop's waist.

There was no answer from Sompop.

Sompop stopped at a drink shop in the market and bought several drinks and put them in the basket in front of his motorcycle. Then drove a motorbike and headed to take Pornthip along a road with coconut groves and people's houses. On both sides of the road Until it came to a stop in front of a large house under a raised basement, leaving it open. The house faces the edge of the gently flowing water. In front of the house, Goh's motorcycle was parked.

“Sompop, come in first.”

A middle-aged white woman called from the summer house next to the waterfront.

The two of them carried the bags of drinks they bought and walked to the summer pavilion, placing the bags on the table in the middle of the pavilion.

“Thip, this is P'Paimea, P'Amon.”

“Hello, Pee Pai. I am Pornthip.”

“Yes, please come as you please.”

"Today, Thip and I came to Phi Pai's birthday party."

"Yes, thank you very much. And how did you know that today is your birthday?"

“I just met P'Amon going to buy something at a restaurant just now.”

“Pornthip, please make yourself comfortable.”

“Pai spoke sweetly to Pornthip and carefully observed her complexion.

“Sompop, where did you get the woman?”

Pai thought in his heart.

"Oh, here it is."

Ratri, Pai's beautiful daughter, spoke to Goh as the two helped to bring several dishes and put them on the table where Sompop and Pornthip sat.

sitting

"Oh, when did P'Phop come?"

Ratri said happily, putting down the plate and walking to sit next to Sompop. Raise both arms to hug Sompop's waist intimately.

“Hey, did you bring a friend with you today?”

“Oh, Goh, today is Thip's holiday.”

“P'Phop's girlfriend is so beautiful.”

Ratri said then turned and smiled at Pornthip who was sitting next to him.

“Right, we are girls who say little. Did you see that P'Phonthip was so embarrassed that his face was red?"

“Oh, Mom said the whole truth. Is it true, Phonthip?”

Pornthip nodded with a smile that showed his teeth.

“Wait!”

Amon drove his motorcycle and parked it in front of the house. Carry a large bag of food and place it on the table.

"Come here, you're tired. You need to cheer up a little."

Goh handed Amon a full glass of liquor.

“Ah, this is refreshing.”

Amon said pleasantly when he downed half his glass of liquor.

Pai brought a large bowl of mimosa sour curry to the table.

“Everything is ready to go together.”

The gathering began. Pornthip accepted a large glass of cold orange juice from Ratri. With a friendly smile

“Eat a lot, Thip. You won't be hungry when you go home."

"Yes, P'Amon."

The men who had had many drinks started talking loudly. causing the women to get up and walk to the ghat bridge

“Phi Pai's house is cool and comfortable to live in.”

“Thank you Thip, there are three of us, parents and children. P'Morn drives a motorcycle. I also have a coconut plantation at home. Ratri is studying commerce and is about to graduate.

"So, beautiful P'Thip, what does she do and where does she live? Have you been P'Phop's boyfriend for a long time?"

“Working at an apartment in the market Our house is in another province and we are friends with P'Sompop, not lovers."

“But after looking at Ratri, Brother Thip and Brother Sompop are a good match.”

"Hey Ratri, don't bother him."

"It's okay, Phi Pai."

“Whenever you have free time, you can always come visit my house.”

“Thank you very much, Pai.”

Pornthip sat and looked at the many long-tail boats passing by in the river. Every boat had tourists sitting in pairs like yourself and Sompop earlier today. It reminded me of the warmth from Sompop's body when the boat tilted, causing himself to be startled and hugged Sompop's waist. When I turned back to the table, I saw Sompop lifting a glass of wine and pouring it into his mouth.

“If you eat too much, you'll get drunk.”

Pai, who was looking at Pornthip's condition, smiled happily.

“Sompop, he is like this and gets drunk and sleeps. It's like this often.”

Ratri invites Pornthip to walk around the house like a person who has been admired. Pornthip was also fascinated with Ratri.

Pai walked towards the drinking circle where there was loud chatter.

“P'Pai Pornthip, is she beautiful?”

“Oh, Goh Phonthip is beautiful and cute. By the way, when are you going to bring your girlfriend to meet me?"

“I still can't find it.”

After a while, everyone in the group was drunk and fell asleep on the table.

“Mom, Ratri and P'Thip help wash the dishes.”

"No need to, take Brother Thip to see the drunks."

Ratri shook Amon's body and his father saw that he was still asleep so he wiped his face with a cloth soaked in cold water.

Pornthip took a cloth soaked in cold water and wiped Sompop's face.

Pai walked out of the kitchen and used a cloth soaked in cold water to wipe Goh's face.

“All three of them were drunk and Brother and Ratri had to wipe their faces every time.”

"Do it, I think it will bring merit."

“We'd better go eat in the kitchen.”

At 5 p.m. Pornthip was helping Pai and Ratri peel coconuts next to the house in an awkward manner that made Ratri laugh several times.

“Phi Thip, what do you do for a living at home?”

"I'm doing farming."

“Then I must be good at carrying food.”

"certain"

Sompop woke up and stood up, shook his head and walked into the coconut grove for a while. He walked back to the table and picked up a bowl of cold water and drank thirstily. Turned around and saw Pornthip peeling a coconut, so he walked towards him.

"How are you? Every time we meet, you're so upset, little one."

"Oh, Phi Pai also likes this."

“Are you hungry yet?”

“I'm hungry too.”

“Let's go to the kitchen together and I'll take care of it for you.”

Chapter 4

At Tawee Apartment, today Pornthip came to work as usual. It was time to take a lunch break, walked down from the office, stood on the sidewalk, looked left and right to want to cross the road to eat curry at the restaurant opposite. Until he was sure that there were no cars coming, he walked across the road.

“Wait!”

A loud motorcycle came out of a nearby side street, shaking like the driver was drunk. He ran towards Pornthip so quickly that he didn't notice him.

“Chrom”

The motorcycle clipped Pornthip's body until he fell to the road. The motorcycle then disappeared at a nearby intersection.

Pornthip felt pain in his right thigh and in his head. Due to the pain, he lost consciousness.

I woke up and found myself lying on a bed with a blood transfusion line and an IV line hanging on the bedside pole, and a middle-aged nurse sitting in a chair next to the bed.

“Have you recovered?”

"Oh, it hurts so much. Where am I?"

“You were hit by a motorcycle. Now I'm in the hospital."

Pornthip listened to the nurse speak with confused thoughts.

"Where do you live? Do you have any relatives who work? What kind of work do they do?"

The nurse's question made Pornthip feel uncomfortable. I don't know how to answer the question.

“Knock knock”

There was a knock at the door and the door opened. Sompop stood at the door.

“How is Thip?”

Sompop asked in shock. Walked over and sat on the chair next to the bed.

"Are you Mr. Pornthip's relative?"

"yes"

“Khun Phonthip was hit by a motorcycle. A good citizen took me to the hospital.”

“How are you feeling, doctor?”

"It's just a pain in my head and right leg."

“How much is the total cost of treatment?”

“The hospital will collect the money from the company that Mr. Pornthip Life Insurance has.”

Finished speaking, the nurse handed Sompop a wallet containing a life insurance card.

“Thank you, doctor.”

The nurse excused herself from the room. Probably only Phonthip and Sompop were alone.

Many words that are perfect Speak with Pornthip

"How did you know Thip was in the hospital?"

“I went to pick him up in the evening after work. I didn't see Thip asking at the office so I knew about it."

“Thank you very much for your concern.”

Then Sompop came to sleep with Pornthip's friend at the hospital.

The clock on the wall said 1 a.m. Sompop was asleep on the sofa. Pornthip was still lying awake because as a young woman she had to sleep alone with a young man who was not a relative.

“Thank you very much P'Phop for being my friend.”

Pornthip muttered in his heart.

After sleeping for several hours Pornthip felt the need to go to the bathroom. So he moved gently and sat up on the bed, then slowly stepped down to stand on the floor, grabbed the saline pole with wheels and held it in his hand, walking to the bathroom.

“Chrom”

The IV pole hit the chair next to the bed.

Sompop heard this and opened his eyes to see Pornthip standing and clinging tightly to the head of the bed. She knew immediately that she needed to go to the bathroom.

"Why didn't you call me?"

Sompop walked towards Phonthip and held her left arm on his shoulder. Prakong walked into the bathroom and then came out and stood in front of the bathroom door. Until Pornthip flushed the toilet bowl. Sompop then walked in and helped Phonthip back to lie on the bed.

“Thank you very much.”

"No problem, what's your call?"

Sompop brought a chair and sat next to the bed, holding Phonthip's right hand in his own until Phonthip fell asleep.

The next morning, late in the morning. Amon and his family and Goh visit Pornthip at the hospital.

Two days later, Pornthip recovered from his illness, returned home and went to work at his apartment as usual.

Sompop went to receive blessings after work. Returning to the room, I saw Jay Rian sitting on a chair in front of the house.

“Apop has a letter from Korat.”

Jae Rian got up from her seat and walked into the house and came out with an envelope in her hand.

"Oh, here's a letter from the post office this afternoon."

“Thank you, Je.”

Pornthip returned to the room. Sompop sat in the car in front of the room, tore open an envelope, pulled out a white piece of paper with a few lines of letters, read it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After showering, change clothes. Sompop walked to Pornthip's room. The two ate dinner together in silence. Until we're full together Sompop sat staring at Phonthip's face.

"Looking at the face of the divine, do you know what he's thinking?"

“Do you know what I'm thinking?”

Sompop held Phonthip's hand without Phonthip not blocking him.

“Food”

Sompop kisses Phonthip's cheeks This time Pornthip raised his right hand up to the cheek that had been kissed and then pinched Sompop's waist.

"P'Phop, don't tease Thip like this again."

"OK, but I won't be staying for several days. Can Thip be alone?"

“Where are you going?”

"I'm going to do business."

In the morning, Sompop dressed handsomely and drove a motorbike to take Pornthip to the front of the office. Then get off the motorcycle

“After finishing business, I will hurry back. Please drive carefully.”

“Yes, Phi Pop.”

Speak and order. Sompop walked across the street to the bus stop on the opposite side.

Pornthip stood and watched until the bus left the out of sight stop, then took Sompop's motorcycle to park in front of the office and walked up to work as usual.

It's time to get off work. Pornthip walked over to his motorcycle, started the engine and drove back to his room alone.

Just turn off the road in front of the office. Pornthip also had the feeling that something was missing today. Every day she would sit in the back of Sompop. Along the way there will be fun stories and talks. Until returning to the room

Park the motorcycle in front of the room, turn the key, open the room door, bring the motorcycle in, park inside the room, and close the door. Change out of your work clothes into loose-fitting shorts. Go into the kitchen and set up a pot of rice.

At 6 p.m., I sat and ate alone. Pornthip felt that this meal was not delicious at all until he ate his fill.

Two days have passed and Sompop still hasn't returned the phone or called, even though before he went he gave his work number.

“What kind of crazy person has been here for two days and still hasn't come back? I called and they didn't call.”

Pornthip sat and complained to himself. His eyes looked at Sompop's motorcycle key chain that was attached to the switch. Then he got up and went to pull out the keychain from the slot on the motorcycle. There are many keys in the bunch. and remembered that the large silver flower was the one used to open Sompop's room.

Swinging the keychain back and forth, he thought of something and walked to the front of Sompop's room.

“Grack”

Pornthip used the key to unlock the front of the room, opened the door and stepped inside.

Everything in the room is clean and tidy. Pornthip walked around and looked at everything with interest. especially the mattress covered with a white cloth in the middle of the room

“What kind of person is clean and orderly?”

Pornthip said to himself then walked into the kitchen and looked at everything including the bathroom. Walking back to the center of the room again, my eyes saw a brown envelope sitting on top of the TV.

“Whose letter?”

Pornthip spoke softly as he opened the envelope and pulled out the white paper inside to read.

"Hurry home. The wedding is ready. From Ladda."

It was the content of the letter that Pornthip had finished reading. An expression of doubt appeared on his face. The paper is stored in the envelope as before.

The room key was locked as usual. Then he walked back into his room with confused thoughts as if his spirits were floating.

"P'Phop is getting married."

These were the words Pornthip muttered to himself when he returned to his room.

In the morning, Pornthip rode Sompop's motorcycle to work as usual. Today it was as if Pornthip had something uncomfortable.

The whole day Pornthip worked like a dead man. Thinking only about the world

At 2 p.m., Pornthip asked to take a leave of absence from work and return to his room.

“Pad”

Pornthip drove his motorcycle out of the office. Heading towards Amon's house, after a while he arrived in front of the house.

"Phi phai"

“Who is it?”

There was a call from the coconut grove behind the house along with Prapai, who was dressed as a farmer and wearing a large straw hat. His right hand held a long-handled grass knife and walked towards him.

“Oh Thip, how did you go? Not working today?”

“I wasn't feeling well, so I took a leave of absence from work. Then drove to see you."

“So Phob hasn't returned yet?”

"Not yet. I heard news that he went back to marry a woman named Ladda."

“Let's go sit and talk at the cool water pier.”

Prapai used a coconut shell bowl to scoop water from a small sump at the water shed for Phonthip to drink.

“How do you know that Pop went back and married a woman named Ladda?”

“I read the letter of a woman named Ladda, sir.”

“I think Thip must have misunderstood something.”

From Pornthip's demeanor and words, it made me happy. I know that she has a love and affection relationship with Sompop.

Many questions Pornthip asked Pai. But Pai answered all doubts, especially regarding love with another young woman. Pai confidently said that there was no one else because he had known Sompop closely for a long time.

“How did P'Pai know that the woman named Ladda was not the person P'Sompop would marry?”

“Well, I already know. Let's ask when Sompop returns."

Pai's words made Pornthip smile.

“Tip likes Sompop, right?”

It was a question that caused Pornthip to avoid Pai's eyes and turn to look at the slowly flowing water.

“What? Tell me the truth. I might be able to help you.”

“It's too soon, bro. Thip has not answered yet.”

“This evening, eat with me and then go home. In the evening, P'Amon and Ratri returned to the house."

“Okay, bro.”

Pai invites Phonthip to go into the kitchen to cook for Amon and Ratri.

It was almost six o'clock in the evening when Amon drove his motorcycle back to the house with Ratri sitting on the back.

“When did Thip come?”

Amon asked happily when he saw Pornthip sitting under the house.

"It's been a long time, brother. Oh night."

Pornthip answered and greeted Ratri.

After changing into school uniforms, Ratree invites Pornthip to sit and talk at the pier. Amon went into the kitchen to help Pai cook. Often, Amon turns to look at Pornthip.

Pornthip ate dinner and was satisfied, then asked to drive his motorcycle back to his room.

Sitting alone in the room watching TV. It has been many days since Sompop has not returned, which makes Pornthip miss him more every day.

“This is definitely a marriage. Or have we gone crazy?”

Turn off the TV, walk to unlock Sompop's room, open the door and go in. Everything is still in the same condition. The letter on the back of the TV was read again. But the message is still the same. From the calendar on the wall, it had been seven days since Sompop returned home.

At 9 p.m., Pornthip turned off the lights and lay down in his room and fell asleep.

“Pad”

A motorcycle stopped in front of the room and ran back out in the middle of the night. Pornthip felt himself lying awake in the darkness. Lifting up the watch on the bed, he looked at the gleaming water on the dial and it was 2:00 AM.

“Thip, this is Phi Sompop.”

There was a voice calling from the front of the room. causing Pornthip to quickly sit up and listen quietly.

“Thip, this is Brother Sompop. Are you awake yet and open the door?”

Pornthip recognized it as Sompop's voice.

"P'Phop, P'Pop, right?"

"Yes, Thip. This is P'Phop."

Pornthip turned on the light in the room and walked to open the door to see Sompop standing in front of the door.

“Why do I miss you so much for so many days? Do you know that?”

Pornthip said happily and held both Sompop's hands.

“I miss Thip a lot too.”

"P'Phop, have you got the key yet? Hurry and open the door. Da is so sleepy she's about to die."

A woman's voice spoke loudly from the door to Sompop's room. Pornthip turned and saw a young woman standing at the front of the room.

“Yes, Da, I've got the key. Thipphung, let's talk later."

Sompop went to unlock the room key and opened the door, and the two of them entered the room together.

"I'm going to take a shower first. The towel is in the closet."

Sompop's voice spoke to a woman named Da. It sounded intimately from inside the room. The sound of showering soon passed and the lights in the room turned off.

Pornthip lay wide-eyed on the bed while the light was still on in the room. Tears flowed from the corners of my eyes, soaking the pillow.

"P'Phop is actually married and still brings us together."

Pornthip lay alone and thought. He rubbed his hand against his cheek until he fell asleep in the near light.

“Thip, don't you go to work?”

The sound of calling and knocking on the front door made Pornthip startled. But when the child went to open the door, he felt dizzy and had to sit in the main residence, so he slowly got up to open the door for Sompop.

“Thip doesn't go to work or is late.”

“Today I feel dizzy.”

"Then take the motorcycle first, I'll take you to the doctor."

Sompop put his hand on Pornthip's forehead and then walked in and led the motorcycle that was parked in the room outside.

A long time later, Sompop walked up to Phonthip with a smile.

"Go to Thip. I'll take you to the doctor."

“What about the girl named Da?”

“Still haven't woken up. Let's go find a doctor quickly."

Pornthip agreed to sit astride the back of Sompop's motorcycle to go to the doctor.

At the clinic, the doctor finished examining Pornthip's body and told her that her body was tired and that she should rest a lot and don't think too much.

Leaving the clinic, Sompoppaphonthip stops to eat hot squid porridge at a restaurant in the market. Sompop himself took good care of Phonthip until Phonthip became more comfortable and ate an entire bowl of porridge.

“The vendor brought squid porridge and put it in a bag.”

Sompop ordered rice porridge and looked at Pornthip's face.

"P'Phop ordered porridge for a woman named Da, right? You probably love her very much."

“Ja Thip”

Sompop drove his motorcycle and parked it in front of the room. But the room door is still closed. So he turned the key and went inside. Pornthip walked back to his room.

"What's the matter? You're so hot."

Sompop called his name loudly throughout the room, causing Pornthip to hurry and walk over to take a look. So he saw a woman named Da lying on the bed with a large duvet on her back. When he touched her forehead and looked at it, Pornthip knew that Da was sick.

“Hurry and take him to the hospital quickly, Brother Phop.”

Half an hour later, Sompop and Pornthip took Da to the hospital. The doctor examined the body and found that he had pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital until he recovered.

Chapter 5

Afternoon of the same day I slowly opened my eyes and looked around. Meet Phonthip sitting beside the bed watching over you.

“Your name is Pornthip, right?”

“Yes, now don't ask about anything else. Just rest and recover first. And now, Brother Sompop. Go buy porridge.”

After listening to Phonthip speak, Da just lay there and didn't ask any more questions.

Pornthip spoke kindly to Da because of his love for Sompop. It is considered that the person who loves you is happy to love you in return with sincerity.

From the eyes that look at Da right now, she is considered to be a beautiful woman. We speak because human relations are good.

“Thip would like to give up his love for P'Phop Da.”

Pornthip thought in his heart as he looked at Ladda's face.

"Look at Da's face and smile. What are you thinking?"

"I'm glad that Da just got married."

"thank you very much"

The two girls chatted pleasantly.

“Here comes the hot porridge.”

Sompop came back into the room with several bags of food in his hand and everyone ate the hot porridge together.

"I really miss Thip. I haven't seen him in many days."

Sompop said as he moved his body until it was close to Phonthip.

"Look, can you see that she's lying on the bed?"

Sompop was surprised at Phonthip's indifference towards him, unlike when he returned home.

“Has Thip been sick yet?”

"Don't worry about Thip. Just worry about Da."

The next morning, Pornthip went to work as usual and asked to stay at the apartment, not returning to stay at the rented room.

Two days later, Da recovered and returned from the hospital.

When he returned to Sompop's room, he saw that the door to Pornthip's room was locked and the key was stuck all over the place like there was no one in the room. So he walked over to Je Rian who was sitting in front of the house.

“Je Pornthip, have you returned your room yet?”

“Young Aphop, now you are staying at work.”

Sompop returned to sitting smoking on a chair in the front of the room, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.

“Pornthip, what did you misunderstand me about?”

Sompop muttered to himself then flicked the cigarette butt in his hand on the floor, got up and walked into the room, saw Da sitting and watching TV.

“Is something bothering you, brother?”

Sompop said nothing, picked up the ice bucket and drank thirstily. Sompop's eyes then saw the envelope that Ladda had written to him placed on the back of the TV.

Read the letter slowly and intently over several trips. Then the letter was handed to Ladda who was sitting next to him.

“Read this letter to me.”

“Hurry home, the wedding is ready, Ladda.”

Ladda read it aloud and then looked at Sompop's face as if he knew something about Sompop's cause.

“P'Phop is Ladda's older brother. And does Brother Thip know the truth about this matter?”

“I don't think I know.”

“Then it's clear. P'Thip must think of you and Da. Just got married Because since returning from the wedding You and Dan sleep in the same room."

“So what do you want me to do with this?”

Ladda turned to look at the clock on the wall, it was exactly five o'clock in the afternoon. A sudden thought came to mind.

Sompop drove his motorcycle to park in front of the apartment and went to ask for Phonthip at the office. He got an answer from the office worker that Phonthip had gone outside. Sompop then walked back to Ladda who was waiting on a motorcycle.

"What's up? Have you met Brother Thip?"

"Can't find her. She went outside."

“And where do you think Brother Thip is going?”

Sompop didn't answer but drove his motorcycle and took Ladda to Amon's house. I found only Ratri and Pai sitting and counting coconuts in front of the house.

"Oh, where did Sompop go?"

“I came to see you and this is Ladda. My younger sister just came from home in Korat.”

“Hello, brother.”

“Yes, hello, please take a seat.”

“What are you doing at night?”

“Help Mom count coconuts. Oh, just last night I thought you brought P'Phonthip along."

“So, has Brother Thip come to visit here?”

“I came a few days ago.”

Ratree answered Sompop's question, but his eyes looked at Ladda as if he was suspicious of something.

“Do you have any doubts, little one?”

"I wonder if P'Ladda is P'Sompop's real sister or not."

“This sister Ladda is really Brother Pop's real sister.”

Sompop said nothing but looked at Pai's face with wide eyes as if he was encountering a big problem that couldn't be solved.

“How many days have you not seen Pornthip?”

“Three days, Phi Pai.”

"And P'Phop, do you miss P'Phonthip?"

“Missing you, Ratri.”

"P'Pai, where do you think Pornthip is going? Do you know?"

"I don't know."

“Pad”

Amon drove his motorcycle back to the house.

"Hey, who did Pop bring with you?"

"This is Ladda, my younger sister."

"hello"

Ladda said hello.

“Hello.”

“Father, P'Phop came to ask about P'Phonthip at our house.”

“Pop, do you want to know where Pornthip is right now?”

“It shows that Brother Mon knows where Thip is.”

"Yes"

“Where are you?”

“That restaurant you took her to?”

"Thank you very much, brother. Go to Ladda quickly."

Sompop said thank you. Then he hurriedly invited Ladda to leave without saying goodbye. Amon's eyes followed him.

At the riverside restaurant The restaurant was almost full of customers who were sitting and eating their orders. Pornthip was a customer sitting alone at the same table she had sat with Sompop in the past. A large glass of orange juice and a plate of fruit sat on the table in front of her, both of her eyes staring out into the middle of the flowing water.

“The food has arrived.”

The voice of a young waitress spoke as she put down a bowl of mimosa sour soup. A plate of stir-fried mixed vegetables and two glasses of orange juice were on the table.

“I didn't order it.”

Pornthip refused and looked at the waiter's face.

"I'm the one who ordered it."

Sompop said from behind as he turned to look at Phonthip. Saw Sompop and Ladda standing and smiling.

"P'Sompop Ladda, please sit down first."

“Thip, do you know that I miss you so much? Why do we have to hide from each other?”

Sompop said and picked up a glass of orange juice and drank it with Ladda sitting next to him.

"Whatever P'Phop says, marry Ladda. How can you miss Thip?"

Pornthip finished speaking and looked at Ladda who was sitting across from him. Ladda now looked at her face with a smile, without the slightest hint of anger, but instead raised a glass of orange juice and sipped slowly.

"What if Ladda is not P' Sompop's wife, P' Thip?"

There were no words from Pornthip's mouth, but he looked suspiciously at Sompop and Ladda's faces.

"I miss Thip every day. Why doesn't Thip sympathize with me?"

“Well, P'Phop is already married, according to the letter that Ladda wrote. Plus, when he came back from home he slept in the same room as Ladda. What will Thip think?”

Pornthip spoke in a short voice as both eyes were filled with tears as if they were about to cry.

Ladda got up from her chair and walked around the table to Phonthip and squeezed both of Phonthip's hands that were on the table.

"Ladda has good news to tell. Do you want to hear it?"

Pornthip looked at Ladda and nodded slowly.

“Ladda would like to say that P'Sompop loves and misses the woman named Pornthip every day and night, even on Ladda's wedding day.”

“Where did Ladda tell you that there was good news?”

“The truth is that This Ladda is her real sister and has the same parents as P' Sompop. Ladda came to travel with P'Phop this time because I wanted to see P'Phonthip in real life, whether she would be as beautiful as P'Phop talked about or not."

Phonthip looked at Ladda's face as if he still had some doubts.

“And who did Ladda marry?”

Ladda smiled when Pornthip finished asking.

“The person Ladda married, after finishing the marriage, he traveled abroad on business for about half a month before returning.”

“Tip, do you still have any doubts about me?”

Sompop asked Phonthip while he was still sitting on the chair in front of Phonthip.

Ladda got up and went to the bathroom.

“Does Thip still miss this P'Phop right now?”

Finished speaking, Sompop handed a small handkerchief to Pornthip to wipe away the tears that had flowed down his cheeks.

"Why didn't P'Phop tell Thip that Ladda was his younger sister?"

“I would have said the same thing, but Thip avoided me.”

The two raised their glasses of orange juice and sipped at the same time. Ladda walked back and sat in the same place.

“Does Brother Thip understand Brother Pop yet?”

Pornthip just sat and smiled and nodded slowly.

“Thip, today, go back to your room as usual.”

Sompop held Phonthip's hand tightly.

"Ay Ladda, please."

Sompop turned to look into his sister's eyes and acted embarrassed. The three of them ate dinner comfortably.

Ladda asked to sleep in Phonthip's room. The two were destined for each other. Sompop himself was happy when Pornthip understood and knew the whole truth.

Pornthip returned to the room as before. Sitting on the back of Sompop's motorcycle to work and back to the hotel room together in the evening every day.

Ladda volunteers to cook dinner for the two brothers every day. Pornthip also loves Ladda like her own sister.

This evening, it was the same. Ladda cooked food and waited for Phonthip, who was returning from work.

“Pad”

Sompop drove his motorcycle and parked in front of the room with Phonthip riding behind him. Phonthip walked into his room himself.

"Let's eat, P'Phop."

“Let me take a shower first.”

After a while, Sompop took a shower and changed clothes and came to sit and watch TV with the two Laddas.

"P'Phop, let's go with P' Thip and let's eat together."

"I'm here, Ladda."

Phonthip walked in and sat next to Ladda who was preparing food.

“All the food is delicious.”

"P'Phop, come quickly and eat together."

The three of them sat and ate in silence. Sompop scooped stuffed eggs onto a plate for Ladda and Phonthip. Until the three of them were full, they finished collecting their plates and bowls. Ladda and Pornthip sit and watch TV. Sompop went out to sit and smoke in front of the room, comfortably blowing out white smoke.

"Just a little bit more and you'll have cancer in your lungs, P'Phop."

Ladda spoke impatiently. After looking at his older brother's expression for a long time,

Sompop flicked the cigarette butt in his hand on the floor, then stood up and walked into the room, picked up a bowl of water and drank. Sitting down next to Ladda, he wrapped his arms around his sister's neck and pulled her into a hug.

“I'm about to quit smoking. If the person sitting next to Ladda doesn't make me think too much.”

Phonthip looked at Sompop and smiled at Ladda.

"When Ladda returns home, P'Phop must love P' Thip very much."

“Okay, my younger sister.”

“What do you mean, Da?”

Pornthip turned to look at Ladda.

“Da will go home. My girlfriend is coming back from overseas.”

“When?”

“Tomorrow, bro.”

“I will miss you very much.”

“If you miss me, you can call me. The number is with P'Phop there."

Chapter 6

In the morning, Sompop drove his motorcycle out of the room with Ladda and Phonthip riding the back. When we reached the apartment, Pornthip and Ladda said goodbye for a long time. Pornthip took Sompop's motorcycle to park in front of the office and then walked back to find Ladda and Sompop who were waiting.

“Good luck on your journey, Ladda.”

“Yes, thank you P'Tip very much.”

“And P'Phop, what time will you get back here?”

Phonthip asked Sompop who was standing next to Ladda.

“Thip, don't worry. Send Ladda onto the plane at Don Mueang and I will return immediately.”

At five p.m., Sompop got off the bus in front of Om Yai Market and walked across the road straight to the front of the apartment office. It was the same time that Pornthip got off work.

“Has Ladda gone back yet?”

“Yes, the plane that Ladda's girlfriend came from abroad landed at Don Mueang in the afternoon. He took Ladda on the next plane to Korat.”

“Thip probably misses Ladda every day.”

"Ladda is not here and Thip misses his brother."

Finished speaking, Sompop grabbed Phonthip's hand and walked towards the motorcycle. Sit in the back and drive out of the office.

Pornthip often complains about Ladda. Since Ladda returned home Sompop promised that if he had a chance, he would take Pornthip to Korat.

At 1 p.m., Sompop was driving his motorcycle down the road after dropping off a passenger and was about to turn into the win lane. At the trash can located on the left side of the road. A large dog is climbing a trash can. Sompop's motorcycle almost reached the trash can. From the sound of the engine, the dog was startled from the trash can and suddenly ran across the road in front of Sompop.

“Chrom”

A motorcycle hits a large dog with such force that it loses control and falls onto the road. A large dog ran with its limp legs and disappeared towards the coconut grove on the side of the motorbike road, the engine stalling. Sompop was unconscious and lying nearby.

At 6 p.m., Sompop regained consciousness and found himself lying in a hospital bed. He turned to see Pornthip sitting in a chair next to the bed.

"Recovered, how is P'Phop?"

Pornthip said happily.

"I'm not too worried."

“Grack”

The room door opened and Amon, Pai, and Ratri walked into the room with a large bag of souvenirs that Ratri carried in their hands.

"How are you, Pop?"

"A little bit, brother."

“What's the matter with the world? Even though I passed out at that very moment, P'Amon You were driving a motorcycle right behind me.”

Pornthip and Ratri Peel the guava and pomelo and add to the plate until the plate is full.

“P'Phop eats oranges and guava. Ratridutsaha bought it for you.”

"Thank you very much tonight."

Amon and Sompop's family There is a strong bond between them because of the past. Amon used to have money problems until Ratri almost had to drop out of school. Sompop came to help until Amon and his family got through the crisis. So everyone loves Sompop.

The doctor came in and said that Sompop had to be taken for an x-ray. The head was hit hard.

“Can relatives go, Doctor?”

Pornthip asked.

"okay"

The doctor pushed a cart into the room along with four other nurses who helped carry Sompop's body into the car for an x-ray. Phonthip walked beside him.

Amon and everyone sat in the room waiting.

"P'Amon, do you think Sompop will open his heart to Pornthip?"

“I think this job is a bastard. Caught in a love trap, definitely unable to escape.”

“Father, mother, Ratri loves Brother Thip very much too.”

After a while, the doctor brought the wheelchair back in to deliver Sompop as usual. Phonthip followed back.

“The doctor checked and what happened, Thip.”

“I don't know, Brother Amon. The doctor will tell me the results tomorrow."

It was almost 8 p.m. Amon and his family asked to go back to their room. It was probably just Sompop and Phonthip alone.

“Have you eaten yet, Thip?”

“Still waiting to eat with you.”

Pornthip poured out the rice porridge that Amon bought for him. Put in two cups and both eat together like every day.

At 8 p.m., the nurse brought medicine for Sompop to take before bed. Pornthip took a shower, changed into new clothes and sat on the chair next to the bed.

“Tip Bao Air, please.”

Pornthip got up from the air-conditioned chair and sat back down.

“Thip, the two of us are like a couple.”

“Why?”

“Last time Thip was sick, I was the one who came to look after him. But now that I'm sick, Thip is the one watching over me."

Pornthip sits quietly and watches TV. Sompop looked at Pornthip's cheeks until she turned and saw him.

"What are you looking at? I know what you're thinking."

“No, just looking with gratitude.”

Sompop answered the question and then held Pornthip's hand and stared into his eyes.

“I don't want it anymore. Playing with eye contact like this makes Thip afraid.”

The two teased each other several times until Sompop pulled Pornthip's body into a hug and then released him.

“Brother, tell Thip some of your stories.”

Pornthip spoke softly and stared into Sompop's eyes.

“Does Thip really want to know?”

“Yes, Thip will be able to get to know the person Thip loves more.”

For a long time Pornthip sat and stared into Sompop's eyes.

“OK, Thip.”

Sompop agrees to tell Pornthip his story.

“Five years ago, I was a life insurance sales representative in Korat with a team of many people. and fell in love with a beautiful woman until they almost got married Suddenly she changed her mind and married a bank manager. So I hid myself and drove a motorcycle for hire at this Om Yai market.”

“Since then, you haven't been interested in love, have you?”

“Yes.”

“What about P'Amon's family? How do you know each other?”

“P'Amon is from Korat as well, and we knew each other while selling insurance. When there was a problem, he invited me to come here.”

“Because you used to sell insurance, right? That's why you were treated in a VIP room like this.”

"yes"

"spongy"

Sompop secretly stole a kiss on Phonthip's cheek while she was unknowing.

"Oh, P'Phop is cheating again."

Phonthip gently twisted his hand on Sompop's waist until Sompop acted like he was hurt.

Two days of birth Lying under treatment in the hospital Pornthip would sleep with him every day after work until his symptoms healed. The doctor allowed me to go home.

Back in the room, Sompop was still unable to help himself. Pornthip has to sleep with me in the room at night.

After dinner, Pornthip returned to his room to take a shower. At 7 p.m., she returned in new clothes that were perfumed with powder and a large blanket. Sompop who was watching TV turned to look.

“Let's sit and watch TV first, Thip.”

Pornthip sat down next to Sompop and placed a blanket beside him.

Sompop looked into Phonthip's eyes and smiled.

“What are you smiling at?”

“What brand of powder do you use? It smells so good.”

“No, no, brother. It's better to take medicine first than what the doctor ordered."

Pornthip poured several pills from the bottle into a small medicine dish and handed them to Sompop along with a full glass of water.

After taking the medicine, the two of them sat quietly watching TV. Sompop moved until he was close to Phonthip, but she didn't move away and continued to stare into Sompop's eyes.

"Brother Thip, I love you with a pure heart."

"Me too, Thip."

Sompop hugged Pornthip's body tightly. Pornthip surrendered to Sompop's strong arms.

"Brother, please release Thip."

Phonthip spoke slowly, causing Sompop to easily loosen his arms.

"I want to know about Thip."

Sompop spoke near Phonthip's ear.

“Okay, are you ready to listen?”

“Ready, sir.”

“Thip is a country girl, almost two hundred kilometers away from Om Yai. In her rice farm, Thip was in love with her boyfriend who lived nearby and was almost married. But he fell in love with the daughter of the rice mill owner. So Thip had always let his heart be free and made his heart austere. But a few months ago, the son of the owner of Rongsi came to propose to him.

Thip's parents agreed without asking Thip. Thip's younger sister also doesn't like this man. So I wrote a letter asking Thip to come work at the apartment.”

“Sister Thip knows someone at the apartment.”

“I know the manager's daughter. I studied at the same college in Bangkok before.”

At 10 p.m. Sompop told Pornthip to lie down and rest. She asked for a sheet to sleep in front of the TV.

It was 11:00 p.m. Pornthip still couldn't sleep, tossing and turning and looking at Sompop who was sleeping on the bed. In my mind I thought of various stories about why I agreed to be friends with this man named Sompop. Even though I still don't know for sure if I have someone to love or not.

“It's crazy to think too much.”

Pornthip got up from the bed and walked through the world. Gently, I went straight to the bathroom until I sat back in front of the TV as usual.

I thought about turning on the TV and watching. But he was considerate of Sompop who was sleeping so he changed his mind and went to sit next to Sompop who was snoring softly.

“What kind of person sleeps and still snores?”

Pornthip grumbled to himself in his mind as he looked at his cheekbone that was scratched until he saw a medicine packet placed next to his pillow that read: Anti-inflammatory medicine taken at 11:00 p.m.

“The time has come now.”

Picked up the medicine packet, poured it into the palm of his own hand and poked Sompop on the arm.

"P'Phop, it's time to take your medicine."

Sompop slowly opened his eyes.

“Is there something wrong, Tip?”

Sompop asked Phonthip who was moving his face closer to his face.

"It's time to take your medicine, brother."

The perfume and the scent of Pornthip's body made Sompop's mind so anxious that it was difficult to restrain himself. Sompop's arms wrapped around Pornthip's neck and he pulled with force until Pornthip's body collapsed into Sompop's arms.

"P'Phop, what are you going to do? Thip wakes you up to give you medicine."

"I'm not taking medicine right now, Fod."

Sompop Homkaemphonthip There were no words or signs of resistance from Pornthip.

Pornthip himself felt a flicker of awareness throughout his body.

“Tip”

Sompop called slowly and kissed Phonthip's cheek several more times. Pornthip's body languished in Sompop's arms. Then her arms were wrapped around Sompop's neck.

Sompop pressed himself onto Phonthip's body and both of their clothes were slowly taken off.

“Thip, I love Thip sincerely.”

“Thip is the same, hyung.”

The two whispered softly to each other and did as their hearts desired.

"P'Phop must love Thip for a long time."

“OK.”

The two hugged each other and fell asleep with their naked bodies under the large duvet.

Three days later Sompop recovered as normal. As the days passed, Sompop's love for the divine blessing increased.

At Ban Nong Nam Khao Almost two hundred kilometers from Om Yai Market is Pornthip's hometown. Nearly fifty households Most of them are rice farmers and every household has enough to live on. Most of them have their own rice fields that are several dozen rai each.

Uncle Jong and Auntie are staying. Two grandparents who are Pornthip's father and mother and Pornthip's younger sister Nongyao.

It's been almost two months since Pornthip left home because of Anan. The son of the mill boss came to propose to him. But Uncle Jong and Aunt Yu did not force Pornthip's heart because they knew that their daughter did not love Anan. The two then allowed Pornthip to go work outside the home, with Nongyao, his younger sister, sending her to work at Thawee Apartment, Om Yai Market.

This evening after returning from farming. Nongyao went into the kitchen to cook rice for her father and mother to eat like every day when Pornthip was still with her.

After eating his fill of rice, Uncle Jong sat and smoked a banana leaf cigarette, blowing a trail of smoke, looking at the sky that was about to get dark. Auntie sat beside her, chewing betel nuts slowly. Nong Yao was taking a shower in the bathroom behind the house until the sound of the shower quieted down.

“Grack”

The bathroom door opened and Nong Yao, wearing a loincloth, walked out of the bathroom and went up the stairs to see her father and mother sitting and looking blankly. Only then did Nongyao immediately know that the two of them were thinking of Pornthip. who is his sister

After a while, Nongyao walked out of the room wearing new clothes. Come sit and squeeze with your parents.

"Again, parents, do you miss Brother Thip again?"

There was no answer from the father and mother. Nongyao then put her face in until she was close and saw the two of them crying.

“We are crying again.”

"I miss you, little one."

“Mom is the same.”

From the trembling voices of her father and mother, Young Young Lady spread her arms and hugged them tightly.

“Let's finish harvesting the rice. Young man will take his father and mother to see P'Thip."

Just a few words from Nongyao made Mom and Dad smile as they kissed Nongyao's cheeks one at a time. Then they both got up and walked down the stairs to take a shower in a good mood.

“Phi Thip, soon you will take your father and mother to see you.”

Nongyao muttered to himself.

In the morning Uncle Jong and Auntie were there and Nong Yao was getting ready to go out into the rice field.

“Pad”

A large motorcycle stopped in front of the house. Tall, thin, dark-skinned man Stepping off the motorcycle, the stand was set up.

“Hello, Uncle Jong Aunt Yu.”

“Oh, Anant, hello, where are you going so early in the morning?”

"I'm looking for my uncle and aunt."

“What's the matter?”

Uncle Zhong asked.

"Come to ask about P'Phonthip's news, is that right, Anan?"

Anan looked at the young lady's face, embarrassed that he knew.

“Yes.”

"P'Phonthip hasn't come back yet."

“If there is news about Pornthip You must hurry and tell me.”

Finished speaking, Anan raised his hand to pay respects to Uncle Jong and Auntie and then drove back on his motorcycle.

“It's good to go away.”

"Come on, don't blame him."

“I can't help it, Dad. A day of not doing anything and being a father, the steering wheel floats and floats.”

"Oh, well, his house has status."

“Just act like this. Brother Thip, that's why he doesn't like it."

“Let's go out and go out.”

Uncle Jong finished speaking and walked out of the rice field behind the house, with Auntie and Nongyao following behind.

Chapter 7

Several days later, the rice in Uncle Jong's thirty rai rice fields After harvesting is complete, it has been measured and sent to the mill. Anant's mill came to measure.

“Uncle, I got a lot of rice.”

“Oh, Anant, this time the water is good and the rice has grown in large clumps.”

Uncle Jong and Anan were sitting and talking in the office at the mill. Sometimes Uncle Jong himself makes him feel sorry for Anan who fell in love with his daughter Pornthip on one side. But because he loved his daughter, he didn't say anything. After a long time, he asked to leave.

Then Nongyao took her father and mother to see Phonthip, her older sister.

All the time the three of them were riding the bus into Bangkok. Uncle Jong and Auntie watched on both sides of the road in amazement, especially as the cars passed through the big cities. The buildings and houses were built more than before.

“How many years has it been since the two of us have traveled like this?”

“It's been many years, Brother Jong.”

The two smiled at each other. Meanwhile, Nongyao looked at his father and mother with happiness.

It was almost noon, the bus stopped in front of Om Yai Market.

"Go, parents are here."

Nongyao got up and took her father and mother by the hand from the car and stood at the bus stop in front of the market.

The bus left and the three of them stood looking at the size and prosperity of Om Yai Market.

“Over there, the apartment where P'Phonthip works.”

Nongyao pointed at the apartment towering across the street.

“Wow, why is Thip's office so big?”

Aunt Yu said excitedly while chewing betel nuts with her mouth.

Nongyao made his father and mother wait at the bus stop and then walked across the street to the telephone booth on the opposite side. It didn't take long for him to call and walk back to the bus stop.

"Father, mother, Brother Thip will come soon."

Pornthip walked from the office across the street.

“Father, mother, over there, Brother Thip has arrived.”

“Father, mother, hello.”

“Phi Thip, hello.”

The four expressed their happiness and hugged each other with nostalgia.

“My father and mother came and refused to tell Thip in advance. Let's go find something to eat first.”

Pornthip took his father, mother and younger sibling to an a la carte restaurant in front of the market next to the overpass. Squid topping and cold drinking water were ordered and placed in front of everyone. Pornthip knew that everyone in the house liked squid topping, so he ordered one to welcome him.

At 1:30 p.m., Pornthip hired a tuk-tuk parked in front of the restaurant to take him to his room.

"Oh, Thip is nice to live in, son."

“Yes, father. The rental price is not expensive, but it is a little cramped.”

“Cleaned the room very well.”

Aunt Yu said as she walked out of the bathroom.

"Oh, I'm so tired from traveling long distances."

Nongyao said as he lay down on the ground.

Pornthip sat and gave her mother a hearty massage.

“Mommy, do you miss Thip?”

"Oh, my father, mother and younger sibling really missed me, so that's why I came to see you."

“Does it make you feel more comfortable being here, child?”

“Relax, Dad. You don't have to worry about Brother Anan who keeps messing with your child's life."

“Father says Anan is a good person. His milling business is big.”

"No, Father, Thip doesn't love Brother Anan."

"So, is P'Tip in love with someone right now?"

The sleeping young lady asked.

There was no answer from Pornthip's mouth. She just sat there smiling as if she had some answer to answer but didn't dare.

“Brother, who is he? What does he do? Where does he live? Is he handsome?”

Nongyao sat up with a question that Pornthip was caught off guard by.

“Young man, when you arrive, ask here and there, who will be able to answer you in time?”

"Oh, my young mother wants to know how handsome Thip's boyfriend is."

“If anyone is liked by their child, whether rich or poor, please be a good person and love their child.”

“Thank you very much, Father.”

His father's words caused Phonthip to kiss his birth son's cheek and hug him, refusing to let go.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when everyone was lying down talking comfortably.

“Pad”

A motorcycle came and stopped in front of the room.

“Thip, dinner has arrived.”

Sompop's voice called from the front of the room.

“Grack”

Phonthip got up to open the door and saw Sompop standing with a bag of food.

“Come inside first.”

Sompop followed Pornthip into the room and saw Uncle Jong Auntie and Nong Yao sitting and looking at him.

“Brother, this is Thip's father, mother and younger sibling.”

"hello"

“Yes, young man, hello, please take a seat.”

Sompop sat down and received a glass of cold water from Pornthip.

“My name is Sompop. I live in the room next to Thip. The job of driving a motorcycle for hire is in the market.”

“Take a comfortable rest from your tiredness first, Sompop.”

“Thank you very much, Uncle.”

Just seeing Sompop The first time, everyone was amazed.

Everyone joined together for a delicious dinner. Sompop was invited to join the group as well. Pornthip scooped rice onto plates for his father and mother many times.

Two bottles of chilled beer were gone, causing Uncle Jong and Sompop to Start talking loudly Sometimes the two even laughed out loud.

“Phi Thip, Phi Phop I had a nice chat with my father.”

Nongyao whispered to her older sister. The seat smiled and nodded.

The aunt sat and looked at the eldest daughter's demeanor, pleased to see that her daughter's face was filled with happiness. And also observed Sompop's appearance and saw that he was a person with a sharp appearance. Moreover, his physiognomy is said to be a good person with charm.

“What are you looking at, Mom?”

Nongyao asked her mother.

"Oh, Mom, I'm always looking at something."

The women had their fill of food and came out to sit and watch TV in silence. Uncle Jong and Sompop were still sitting in the same place drinking beer.

At 8 p.m., Uncle Zhong stumbled into the bathroom and came back out and lay down on the bed, snoring lightly.

“Uncle Zhong, let's go have some beer.”

“P'Phop, Dad is asleep. You don't need to call. Let's talk tomorrow."

"Oh, Pop, it's true, just like Thip said."

“Yes, Auntie.”

Sompop sat and talked for a while and then excused himself to go back to his room. Pornthip walked to the room.

"Can you go back?"

"I'm fine. Thank you very much, Thip."

“Sleep well, brother.”

“So is Thip.”

The two spoke slowly and then returned to their room.

“Appearance, good manners”

Nongyao said and smiled at her mother.

“Who do you mean, young lady?”

"Who is it? Mom, it's P'Sompop, P'Tip's girlfriend."

"Everyone go to sleep. Thip will wipe himself off for dad."

The three mothers and children took a bath and then slept peacefully.

Sompop drove his motorcycle out of the room early in the morning. Soon he came back with a big bag of hot soybean milk and Patonggo.

“Thipthi”

Sompop called from the front of the room.

“P'Phop, come in.”

Pornthip opened the door with a smile.

“I bought you soybean milk and Patongko.”

Sompop entered the room. Uncle Jong and Auntie were washing their faces in the bathroom. Nongyao is cooking rice in the kitchen.

“Sit first.”

Sompop and Phonthip helped each other pour soybean milk into glasses and pour Patongko into plates until they were full.

Uncle Jong and Aunt Yu walked out of the bathroom.

“Uncle and aunt, please eat hot Patongko soybean milk.”

"Oh, Sompop came early in the morning."

“Yes, Uncle.”

Uncle Jong sat down next to Pornthip and received a glass of hot, fragrant soybean milk. Slurp it into your mouth with a loud thud. Followed by Patongko that was picked from the plate.

“Oh, the taste is delicious, the Patongko is crispy and sticky.”

“Eat a lot, Dad. Brother Sompop went out to buy some at the market just now.”

“Auntie Yao, please eat Patongko with soybean milk.”

Sompop handed a glass of soybean milk to both of them.

At seven o'clock in the morning, when I saw that my daughter had not yet gone to work, my aunt was still there and became suspicious.

“Thip isn't going to work today, is he?”

“Thip takes two days off from work, Mom. I'll talk to my father. Mother and younger sibling, I will miss you.”

“Well, whatever you want.”

“Youth's friend Where is the office, sir?"

"I'm not going to Chiang Mai for several days and I'll be back."

“I didn't see it last time. This time I didn't see it again.”

“So Sompop, are you going to ride a motorcycle today?”

"Why don't you go, Auntie? I'd like to continue talking with Uncle. We still haven't finished talking last night."

“Is it true or not?”

Uncle Zhong said happily.

“What else is going on, Dad? Pretending to set up another band early in the morning.”

Nong Yao looked at both eyes without blinking.

“Then what do you want Father to do to relieve your boredom, young man?”

“I want to go worship at Pathom Chedi, Father.”

According to everyone's intentions So they went to pay homage to Phra Pathom Chedi.

“Pad”

A motorcycle came and stopped in front of Sompop's room.

"Phopoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

The voice calling in front of Sompop's room was recognized as Goh's voice. Pornthip also remembered Sompop getting up and going to the door.

"Hey Goh, I'm here."

Goh walked to the front of Pornthip's room with a questioning face.

"Brother Goh, please sit. This is Thip's father, mother and younger sibling."

"hello"

“Yes, young man, hello.”

Goh raised his hand to greet everyone until he received a salute in return.

Pornthip introduced Goh to everyone and invited him to pay homage to Phra Pathom Chedi. Goh agrees to the invitation.

“Goh, you don't go riding a motorcycle anymore, do you?”

"Oh, Pop, today is over. This morning, there was a passenger hired to take me to Mo Chit. I just came back."

"Well, if you want to go, that's fine."

After a while, everyone rode Sompop and Goh's motorcycles out to the bus stop in front of the market. Sompop and Goh took their motorcycles and parked them at Win.

“There must be something special that these two guys would stop driving motorcycles.”

"Oh, Brother Amon, it's just taking Thip and his relatives on a trip."

“For you, Phop. I don't doubt it, but Goh, I suspect that Thip definitely has an older sister or older sister.”

“Thip has a younger sister with her, Brother Amon.”

"That's us. Are my words accurate?"

Amon said and turned to smile with his friends in Win.

"Alright, you two, let's go or we'll be late."

Everyone boarded the Nakhon Pathom bus line. Many times Goh smiled at Sompop. Then he glanced at the young man sitting in the seat in front of him.

"You have to help me talk to Thip, Phop."

"What's the matter, Goh?"

Sompop pretended to ask ignorantly, causing Goh to become angry.

“What is it, friend? This just won't help.”

"Is something going on, P'Phop?"

Phonthip turned to ask until Sompop and Goh smiled shyly.

"It's nothing, Thip. I'm teasing that bastard."

Pornthip turned back as before.

Chapter 8

At five o'clock in the morning, the bus came to a stop near the Phra Pathom Chedi. Everyone got out of the bus and walked across the road into the area of ​​the Buddha's arch.

Sompop and Goh hurriedly walked towards the large pavilion near the stairs leading up to the Buddha image. This is where incense sticks and flowers from the temple are sold.

Everyone sat with their hands clasped in front of the big Buddha, where many people were worshiping.

Auntie lives with Uncle Jong. Sitting with hands clasped in prayer, lips pursed. Pornthip and Sompop sat together. Go asked Nongyao to sit next to him. To which Nongyao herself nodded.

After lighting incense sticks and candles, paying homage to the gilded Buddha image is complete. Sompop led everyone towards the dozen or so bells hanging nearby.

“Let's ring the bell so that it will ring in the heavens.”

After speaking, Sompop handed over several bell-ringing sticks. Uncle Jong and Aunt Yoo, Nongyao, Goh and Phonthip

“Nghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

The bell rings all the time from the people who come to pay homage to the Buddha and from the Sompops.

"Well, it's been many years since I haven't come to worship the Lord Buddha."

Uncle Zhong said comfortably as everyone took their seats in the large marble pavilion near the stairs leading down.

“In this pavilion, the breeze is as cool as before.”

Aunt Yu said as she picked up a betel nut and put it in her mouth.

Sompop and Phonthip are shaking the Tio barrel. There were Goh and Nongyao sitting next to him. The number of Tio flowers was nine. Sompop put down the Tio cylinder and walked to the Bai Siam that was attached to a nearby board sign.

Picked up the Siamese leaf and read it to the end then walked towards Phonthip.

“What do you say about Bai Siam Si?”

Sompop didn't answer, but handed him a Siamese leaf in his hand.

“My mind is comfortable, my finances are smooth. The people around you are affectionate. Adorable adults Love understands each other well.”

It was the message that Pornthip read from the Siamese leaf.

“What do you say about Bai Siam Si?”

Pornthip didn't answer but handed the Siamsi slip to his younger sister.

“That's good, bro.”

Nongyao said and handed the Siemsi slip back to her older sister.

"Let's go see Mom and Dad."

Uncle Jong and Auntie were sitting in the Phonthip pavilion enjoying the summer with everyone who was walking towards them.

“Father, after looking at this I think that Sompop loves our son Pornthip very much, Mother.”

“Yes, Father.”

The two sat and talked until everyone walked in.

“How are you, parents?”

"Oh, Thip, Dad is relieved. The air is fine."

“And Mom?”

"Mom is just like dad."

“It's noon, so let's go find something to eat first.”

"Oh, Uncle says it's good too, Sompop."

Everyone walked down from the Buddha image. Sompop walked with his aunt, worried.

“Auntie, can you walk?”

"What's wrong?"

Aunt Yu held out her hand for Sompop to take her and walk.

Many restaurants are located in front of the entrance to the Buddha image.

Sompop takes everyone into a grilled chicken restaurant that is emitting smoke.

Grilled chicken was chopped up on a plate and brought to the center of the table along with several glasses of cold orange juice, followed by Chinese meatballs.

“This is the most delicious food here. Everyone is invited.”

Finished speaking, Sompop scooped out the chicken pieces on a plate for Uncle Jong and Auntie Yu and put them on a small plate in front of him.

“Thank you very much, Sompop.”

“Oh, it tastes as delicious as Sompop said.”

Uncle Zhong said happily as he chewed the chicken.

By 1 p.m., everyone was full.

“Where are we going next?”

“You can go anywhere, it's up to P'Phop. All too young.”

“Then let's go to the Damnoen Floating Market.”

Sompop walked everyone to a nearby bus stop.

At 2:00 p.m. the bus that everyone was riding on arrived at the floating market. There were many people, including foreigners, who were walking off the tour buses and walking around the floating market. In the canal, there are many vendors bringing fruits from their farms in rowing boats to sell until the canal is full.

“How are you, Thip?”

“It's beautiful, bro.”

Sompop hired a large rowing boat owned by a middle-aged woman. Everyone sat in a boat, and the owner of the boat rowed slowly along the canal.

From the shade of the coconut grove next to the canal combined with the gentle breeze that blows. There are many other rental boats that are chartered to row back and forth. Some of the boats had foreign passengers taking pictures in the atmosphere.

“Once in a while, it's nice to sit on a boat, it's free and smooth.”

Uncle Jong, who was sitting at the bow of the boat, was talking to Auntie.

“Is it good to travel like this, Dad? Is it a good idea for Thip to come visit often?”

“Good, the weather is natural.”

“Hyung, are there many people coming to visit here these days?”

Thip turned to ask the boat owner who was rowing at the back of the boat.

“It's been there all day long.”

After taking the boat, everyone walks on the shore to see local products made from coconut shells in the souvenir shop.

Thip stood looking at a beaded necklace made from coconut shells hanging in a display case.

“Beautiful Mai Thip”

“Beautiful, bro.”

Sompop told the seller to pick it up and try it on for Thip to wear.

“Very beautiful, Thip, take this line.”

Thip nodded. The seller said the price was five hundred baht. Sompop took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to the seller.

“Thip pays for it himself. I paid for everything this morning.”

“Not divine. For the person you love, wear it, necklace.”

In the shop across from Goh and Nongyao. Standing and looking at a pair of heart-shaped keychains made from black coconut shells that have been polished to a shine.

“Let me see the double heart-shaped keychain.”

Nongyao said to the girl sitting in the shop.

“How much?”

Nongyao asked while holding the keychain in her hand.

“One hundred and fifty baht.”

Nongyao opened her handbag and took out a banknote and handed it to the girl.

“Young man, you don't need me to pay for it myself.”

"It's okay. I want to pay for it myself and give it to you to put on the keychain in your car."

"indulgent"

Uncle Jong and Auntie got something they liked, a coconut shell made into an alms bowl complete with a ladle.

Everyone left the shop and went to sit at a shop selling cold drinks that was decorated like a mushroom on the canal bank.

"Oh, it's cool and sweet like this, so refreshing."

Uncle Jong was talking to Auntie as he placed a chilled young coconut with a coconut juice straw on the table.

“Father, I doubt that our daughter will have love for both of them.”

Aunt Yu said and looked at the two daughters who were walking arm in arm comfortably with Sompop and Goh.

“This is as he wishes, mother.”

Uncle Jong finished speaking and lifted up a coconut and sucked it happily. But his eyes glanced at the two daughters who were walking towards the shop where they were sitting.

“Come everyone, let's drink chilled coconut water.”

Finished speaking, Uncle Zhong turned to order a young coconut.

At 3:00 p.m., everyone boarded the bus to return.

“Are Uncle and Aunt tired?”

“I'm not tired, world. Staying at home and working harder.”

“At five p.m., everyone returned to Om Yai Market. Uncle Zhong said that he wanted to go back to his room to eat dinner. After stopping into the market to buy some food and putting it in a carry-on bag, everyone walked over to the motorcycle taxi.

“Whoa, I bought a lot of stuff.”

Amon sat at Win's place and greeted him happily.

"P'Amon, this evening, go eat with Thip at home."

“Will it be good or divine?”

“Good, Brother Thip bought many dishes that Brother Amon likes.”

"Well, then I agree."

Amon drove his motorbike out of Win, with Uncle Jong and Auntie sitting on the back. Thip rides behind Sompop and Nongyao rides with Go.

Return to the room, take a shower and change into new clothes. Pornthip and Nongyao, two siblings, helped arrange the food they bought and put them on plates, setting up a food circle in the middle of the room.

"Oh, it's still a bad idea to take a shower and change into new clothes."

Uncle Zhong said with a kiss on his lips and sat down next to the food circle.

“Here it is, Dad.”

The young lady carried a beer bottle and placed it in front of her birth father.

“Oh, where have all the young men gone? Let's eat.”

Uncle Zhong raised his beer glass and took a slow sip.

“Here it is, uncle. I just finished taking a shower."

Sompop and Amon and Goh walked into the room. Sit down next to the food circle.

“Oh, let's have a sip of something cold before eating.”

The men sipped their beers leisurely. The women sat and ate in silence.

“Amon, if you have free time, please go visit my house at Ban Nong Nam Khao.”

"Yes, sir. But is there any white water to drink at Nong Nam Khao's house?"

“Oh, I made it in a jar.”

“Listen to what I said, I really want to go to your house.”

Uncle Jong and Amon talked more pleasantly, their voices becoming louder and louder.

The conversation ended at 10 p.m. with Uncle Jong snoring softly at the side of the group. Goh drives his motor, but Amon rides behind him with Sompop. Help Pornthip and Nongyao clean the room until they are finished and then return to the room. Collected his motorcycle and Amon's belongings into the room and lay down next to the motorcycle without showering.

It was late the next day after finishing cooking a large pot of hot squid porridge. Nong Yao scooped it into a cup for her aunt who was sitting on the floor of the room.

“Eat hot porridge, Mom.”

“And what about your father, young man?”

"I'm not awake yet, Mom."

Auntie was there, happily scooping up the rice porridge.

"Oh, it's delicious, young lady."

"The skill of Brother Thipkhao"

"P'Phop"

Pornthip called Sompop to the front of the room and knocked on the door. But there was no answer from inside.

“P'Phop, quickly open the door for Thip.”

Standing with listening ears for a long time, he heard a rustling sound coming from inside.

“Grack”

The room door opened. The Sompop who was still in last night's clothes was standing. My hair is messy.

“What? Haven't you woken up yet? The sun is already rising.”

Sompop hurriedly took a shower and changed clothes. There was Phonthip standing and looking wide-eyed.

“Why are you looking at me?”

“Oh my gosh, Mom and Dad are all awake. Be careful, you won't give your daughter away.”

"If you don't give it to me, I'll take you away, Fod."

Finished speaking, Sompop stole a big kiss from Pornthip's cheek.

“This definitely likes to steal when I'm not paying attention.”

Pornthip pinched Sompop's waist hard.

"Oh, it hurts."

Sompop cried loudly.

"Is there something wrong, Tip? Why is Brother Sompop screaming so loudly?"

A young woman who didn't know when she had been standing at the door of the room asked. Pornthip quickly released his hand from Sompop's waist.

Sompop hurriedly walked to Pornthip's room, leaving the two sisters standing in front of their room.

"Brother, what are you doing? Brother Pop, be careful, you'll get bored of me."

"I'm not afraid."

Everyone is together in the rice porridge circle.

“Pad”

A motorcycle came and stopped in front of Sompop's room.

"Sompop, are you there?"

"In Thip's room, P'Amon."

Sompop responded and walked to stand at the front of the room.

“Amon, come eat with me quickly.”

Uncle Jong called and told Phonthip to scoop rice porridge for Amon.

“Amon, don't be afraid.”

Aunt Yo spoke up, causing Amon to sit down quickly.

“Who came to send Brother Mon?”

“Damn, when it was delivered.”

“Are you coming to get a motorcycle?”

"Yes"

“Did you take the exam last night, Phi Pai?”

Pornthip asked.

“It got hit too. But once I found out I was here, I didn't mind.”

“Did you see, brother, that my name can be used to help in times of need?”

"Oh, you're smart, Phop."

"P'Goh didn't come along or P'Morn?"

Nongyao asked shyly.

“It says it will stop by in the morning.”

After filling up on rice, Uncle Jong sat and smoked a cigarette. Blowing a trail of smoke

“Amon, I will be going home at noon today.”

“So when will you come visit again?”

“I don't know yet.”

“Pad”

Goh drove his motorcycle and parked it in front of the room.

"Brother Goh, let's eat."

Nongyao spoke up and scooped rice into a bowl for him.

“Noon today. You're going home now, Brother Goh."

Nongyao's words made Goh put down the rice bowl in his hand.

“And when will Nong Yao come to visit again?”

"I don't know."

“I will miss Nong Yao very much.”

Goh whispered to Nongyao.

“If you have free time, you can go to your aunt's house, Ko.”

Aunt Yu spoke, causing Goh to blush until her face was red.

At noon, Uncle Jong Auntie and Nong Yao were riding Sompop's motorcycle. Goh and Amon come to the bus stop. There are buses running from Bangkok. Parked at the stop sign.

“Thank you very much to everyone who came.”

“Tip, take care of yourself, child.”

"Yes, parents."

“Phi Thipyao, go back first.”

Everyone got on the bus. Nongyao popped out of the window and smiled at Goh. Then the bus left the stop.

Chapter 9

After returning from Om Yai Nong Yao also dresses more beautifully than before and likes to look in the mirror often. Uncle Jong and Auntie are staying. He noticed and knew that his youngest daughter was in love.

“Young, are you done yet?”

“It's finished, Mom.”

Nongyao walked out of the kitchen carrying two large vines of Binto and approached her mother who was sitting on a mat in front of the house.

The two vines were placed in a basket with a large cooler.

“Ready, Mom.”

“Well, let's go. It's almost noon. Father and the tractor driver must be hungry by now.”

“Pad”

Anan drove in on a motorcycle.

“Hello aunt.”

“Yes.”

“Where are you going?”

“I'm going to deliver rice to my uncle and the tractor driver. I'm plowing in the middle of the field over there."

“P'Anan will help. Are you carrying baskets of rice to deliver rice?”

“No, young man. P'Wae came to ask if he knew Thip Khao's workplace yet."

Nong Yao didn't speak but turned to look at her mother.

“Tell him to go, son.”

“Listen carefully, Brother Anan. Young man will tell you Now Pee Thip is working at Double Apartment Om Yai Market over there.”

“Thank you, young lady, for telling me.”

“It's okay. Now Thip is going to have a girlfriend.”

Anan drove his motorcycle back out. Nongyao and Aunt Yu walked out into the middle of a rice field where they saw a car plowing the field.

1 p.m., after ordering work in the mill with the manager Anan drove his motorcycle out of the mill. The destination is Om Yai Market where Pornthip works.

“Thip, this Anan brother is coming to see you.”

Anant said to himself while driving his motorcycle.

Many times you have to pull into the gas station on the side of the road to give yourself and your engine a break.

"P'Phonthip is about to have a girlfriend."

Nongyao's words spoken earlier in the day came into Anant's consciousness again.

“You will have this Anan boyfriend, no matter what, just let him see it with your own eyes, Thip.”

Anant muttered to himself and started the motorbike engine and drove away from the pump.

“Om Yai thirty kilometers”

Anan saw the letters on the kilometer marker on the side of the road.

It's almost five p.m. Anan arrived at Om Yai Market and asked for Thawee Apartment for a while until he arrived in front of the office.

It was the same time that Pornthip got off work and walked down from the office. Sit on the back of Sompop's motorcycle that was parked and waiting.

Sompop drove his motorcycle out of front of the office. Pornthip sat in the back, legs crossed, hugging Sompop's waist.

“True as Nongyao said.”

Anan drove his motorcycle behind Sompop, some distance away.

Sompop drives his motorcycle to take Pornthip to a riverside restaurant that is his regular restaurant. The same dining table where the two sat and ate and talked happily.

Pornthip didn't realize that Anan was now Young man, boyfriend of Ban Nong Nam Khao who is in love with him, secretly peeking at the side of the restaurant

“It's okay, Thip. If you are happy, I would like to give up my heart of love.”

Anant said while standing next to the bushes next to the shop.

“Pad”

Anan drove his motorcycle out of front of the restaurant.

At 7 p.m., Amon and Pai were sitting at home eating dinner.

“The night hasn't returned yet?”

“No, my son has an exam today.”

At the same time, on the road in front of Ratri's house, he got off the minibus and was about to walk into the house. There was a motorcycle running slowly behind. Running, turning, turning like a drunk driver.

Ratri saw something wrong and took cover on the side of the road with a coconut tree.

“Wait!”

The engine was revved to a loud noise and the motorcycle crashed into the base of the coconut tree that Ratri was hiding from.

“Chrom”

The motorcycle crashed into the base of a coconut tree and everything fell silent.

“Father, mother, please help.”

Ratri shouted to her father and mother in shock.

Amon and Pai heard their daughter's voice and rushed out to the front of the house.

"What's wrong with the night?"

“I don't know who drove the motorcycle and crashed into my coconut tree.”

Amon and Pai rushed over to support the man who was lying motionless next to the motorcycle.

Amon shook and called out to the young man several times but there was no answer. There is a strong smell of liquor. I saw that it was starting to happen. Amon then carried the young man to sleep on a mat in front of the house. Pai used a cloth soaked in cold water to wipe his face.

“Brother Mon, have you ever seen this man?”

“I've never seen it.”

"What about Ratri? Do you know him?"

Amon and his family helped take care of the young man who was still unconscious.

In the morning Amon was lying near the bed. I heard the sound of turning. So he hurriedly sat up and saw a young man sitting with his head shaking and looking around confusedly.

"Who are you? Where am I now?"

“I am Amon and this is my house. My younger brother drove his motorcycle and crashed into a coconut tree yesterday.”

"I'm Anan, here to find a girlfriend."

“So, did you find it?”

“Yes, but he has a girlfriend.”

“My younger brother got drunk and drove his motorcycle and almost hit our daughter, do you know?”

“I must apologize.”

"nevermind"

“Hot coffee has arrived.”

Pai brought a cup of hot coffee and a plate full of fish to place on the mat.

“Anant, this is Pai, my wife.”

“Hello, Phi Pai.”

“Hello.”

After drinking coffee, Anan told Amon and Pai all his personal stories in detail. Make the two husbands and wives sympathize The motorcycle was still completely destroyed and unable to be ridden. So the two invited them to stay at their house. Anant agrees to the invitation.

Amon hired a pickup truck to carry Anan's motorcycle to Om Yai Market for repairs.

Late in the morning, Anan walked in the coconut grove next to the house. Saw a lot of dried coconut trails falling from the neck of the coconut tree.

For a long time Anant stood and looked at the dried coconuts as if he was thinking about something. Then followed Pai and the night that walked ahead.

“Thump!”

There was the sound of coconuts falling in front of us. As we walked a little further, we saw Pai and Ratri using and not using coconuts.

Anan helped pick up the coconuts that had fallen into the basket until it was full.

"Anant, watch out for the coconut. I'll grab another one."

Pai's warning caused Anant to walk and stand behind Ratri at the base of another coconut tree.

Ratri turned to look at Anan who was standing behind him. Until the two eyes meet The feminine scent of the night was wafting in the air. Anant stood still for a long time, as if under a spell.

“Thump!”

The coconut that was in the air fell to the ground. Anant hurriedly pulled Ratri's body to take cover at the base of a coconut tree. Then Ratri's body staggered into Anant's arms.

“Brother Nan, hurry up and collect coconuts and put them in a basket.”

Ratri hurriedly picked up coconuts and put them in a basket before they passed away. The mother would turn around and see and pull Anan's hand, who was still standing helpless, to bend over and pick up coconuts together.

“Enough for now, I won't be able to take it all back.”

Pai said and put it down on the ground.

Ratri and Anan helped carry the basket of coconuts back into the house. There was a fish carrying a bag, not following behind him. All the way down the boat, notice Anan's manner of walking and carrying a basket. who is as agile and skilled as a farmer's son

“This young man has a good attitude.”

Pai thought to himself as he walked back into the house.

In the afternoon, Anant helps Pai and Ratri peel coconuts in front of the house.

“Brother, are the dried coconut leaves in the garden used for anything?”

"not doing anything Mostly burned away.”

“Do I have an idea that I can turn into a product?”

Pai and Ratri turned to look at Anan at the same time.

“OK, Anant.”

"Do you want to start today?"

“Take it.”

After finishing peeling the coconuts, Anan invited Pai and Ratri to walk into the coconut grove and cut several large bundles of coconut stalks. Then cut off the leaves, leaving only the coconut stem.

A few more materials that Anan found from around the house and then proceeded to make two coconut paths.

“This is my product. Coconut Broom"

“Oh, it's beautiful. I once asked at the market. Definitely ten baht each.”

“If you want to sell it, you have to buy many other materials from the market.”

Ratri stood and smiled when she saw Anan's broom that caught her mother's attention.

Amon came back to eat lunch and saw the non-sweeping that Anan had done and felt pleased. When he learned that he would make a product for sale in the market, he decided to do it immediately.

Two days passed at Anant and Ratri. Together we made almost a hundred brooms. Makes the two of them close to each other.

The motorcycle has been repaired and Anan has no intention of returning or going to see his lover.

“Brother Anan, why aren't you going to visit your lady lover?”

"I'm not going. He has a new girlfriend."

“So what is your boyfriend's name?”

"Phonthip"

Ratri turned to look at Anan's face as if he was suspicious of something until Anan noticed.

“Do you know Pornthip?”

“I know them but I'm not sure if they're the same person.”

“Now I stop thinking about him because there is someone more worth thinking about.”

“Who is it?”

“So this night?”

Finished speaking, Anant held Ratri's hand tightly.

“Let go of the night. Come on, it's too fast.”

It's near the end of the month so there aren't many passengers coming to use the motorcycle taxi stand. So the car was parked for a full win.

"Hey, this evening invite Thip to eat dinner at your house."

Amon invited him so that Goh, who was sitting nearby, could hear.

"Oh, my brother has been sour for the past few days."

Goh said happily and rubbed his hand over his mouth.

“Okay, brother.”

Sompop accepted Amon's words and drove away on his motorcycle.

At 6 p.m., Sompop drove his motorcycle to Amorn's house, with Pornthip sitting in the back with a basket full of rice in front of the car.

"Thip came quickly. Haven't seen him for many days. I miss him."

Pai said happily and took Phonthip's hand into the kitchen while Sompop walked to the waterfront pavilion where Amon and Goh were setting up a drinking circle.

“Come on, world.”

Amon called and handed him a glass of wine.

“Thank you, brother.”

Pai and Thip helped to carry food out of the kitchen. Putting the plate on the table, Pornthip looked around as if he was looking for someone.

“Phi Pai, where did Ratri go?”

"I'll go buy some ice."

Pai's words made Pornthip wonder who Ratri was going with. Because Amon and Goh are there.

“It goes with infinity.”

“Where is infinity?”

“Pad”

A motorcycle came and parked. The driver was a young man with a pillion sitting on the back. He stepped down and stood on the ground, carrying a large cooler of ice and walked over to place it at the liquor circle.

Sompop and Goh looked at Anan who was walking behind Ratri.

“This is infinite.”

Amon introduced until Anan walked in and sat in the group.

Phonthip looked at Anan. Since riding a motorcycle, I'm not sure if it's the same Anan or not.

"P'Anan"

Pornthip called loudly when he remembered that it was. Until Anant turned to look at him with a quiet expression.

"Yes, Thip, it's me."

“Does Anant know Thip?”

"I know you, it's Thip who is my boyfriend who I'm looking for."

"And now P'Anan still has love for Thip?"

"I don't love you anymore because Brother Rakthip is on one side."

“Thip thanks P'Anan very much.”

Pornthip raised his hand to greet Anan and then got up and walked around the mat to sit on the chair next to Sompop who was sitting idly.

"P'Anan, this is P'Sompop Fanthip."

“Love Thip a lot. You are the lucky one who was able to win the heart of Thip.”

"thank you very much"

When everyone understood each other, the conversation in the drinking circle was fun, especially Anan with Ratri sitting next to him.

"P'Amon, when will we go to Ban Nong Nam Khao?"

Goh said loudly as he placed the glass of wine in his hand on the mat.

"Oh, well, I'll take you there in a couple of days."

Pornthip looked at Amon and Goh blankly because Goh's words meant that he was thinking about his younger sister, Nongyao.

“Does Goh know Ban Nong Nam Khao?”

“I don't know you, but I know people there.”

“Who is it?”

Goh didn't answer Anan, but turned to look at Pornthip, saw him nodding and smiling, so he turned to look at Anan.

"beautiful woman"

“Is that Thip's younger sister?”

“Yes, she came to visit the temple recently.”

“Then this Anant volunteered to take you. Because he's a white swamp person."

Goh smiled at Anan and lifted the glass of wine in his hand and poured it all into his mouth in one go.

It was almost 10 p.m. and everyone returned from Amon's house. Pai and Ratri carried Amon into the house to sleep while Anan packed up his things and cleaned them up and went to bed at the Tha Nam pavilion.

Two days later Pai and Ratri learned to make beautiful brooms on their own, making Anan very happy.

“Hyung, I think it's time to go home.”

“And when will Anan come back to visit your house again?”

“As soon as possible because I miss the night.”

Anant spoke to Pai and looked at Ratri sitting next to him.

Amon drove his motorcycle back to the house and came to see Pai and Ratri's broom-making work.

"Oh, the skill can be used."

“Father, Brother Anan, he will be home soon.”

Amon looked at his daughter's face knowingly and then looked at Anan's face.

“When will you return, Anan?”

“I will come back tomorrow.”

Amon listened to Anan and looked at his daughter who was sitting and smiling.

"I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

Everyone joins in for dinner.

At 6 p.m. Amon and Pine were counting coconuts next to the house. Anan and Ratri sit and talk at the pavilion.

“Phi Anan, when you go back, will you come back to Ratri again?”

“Come.”

Anant held Ratri's hand tightly without any resistance or protection from Ratri.

Anan returned home to Nong Nam Khao for two days and called Pornthip at work. Tell everyone to invite everyone to visit Ban Nong Nam Khao. Especially at night Let Pornthip invite you to go. and also said that he would be the one to pay for all travel expenses.

Pornthip agreed and promised. In just two days, Pornthip had completed the work he had done and invited Amon's family, including another Goh.

“Okay, tomorrow. We'll be able to travel to Ban Nong Nam Khao, right, P'Amon?"

“Oh, but how much do you miss Nong Yao?”

"I'm thinking about dying already."

Sompop drove his motorcycle back into the win while the two were still talking.

“What are you talking about?”

“What about going to Ban Nong Nam Khao? Goh wants it to arrive quickly tomorrow.”

“Well, Goh will definitely go tomorrow. Thip and I have already contacted the van.”

Goh smiled in a good mood. A passenger called so he drove his motorcycle to deliver.

The next morning, the rented van left Om Yai early in the morning. Goh whistled cheerfully from the driver's seat.

Ratri sat alone with her arms crossed and smiling in the back seat. Sompop, Thip, Amon and Pai sat talking softly in the middle seat.

It was almost noon and the van reached its destination. Pornthip's house, Uncle Jong, Aunt Yu, Nong Yao and Anan are waiting to welcome you.

“Amon Pai, did you have a good trip?”

Uncle Jong and Aunt Yu greeted each other warmly.

For a long time everyone greeted each other. The welcome lunch dishes are chicken tom yum curry and morning glory sour curry with snakehead fish. Pornthip called the driver to join the group in a friendly manner.

Anan sat in the group next to Ratri. Often put food on a plate for Ratri like Goh sitting next to Nongyao. They pushed each other and put food on each other's plates.

For a while, the rice circle probably consisted only of Amon, Pai, Uncle Jong, and Auntie, sitting and talking.

“Brother Jong's house is nice to live in. The weather is nice and shady.”

“Thank you Amon for watching.”

“Your white juice really tastes great.”

"Oh, it's my own work. This is what they call Ban Nong Nam Khao."

Amon raised the glass of white water in his hand and drank it, then saw three young couples walking under the mango tree behind the house. So he turned to look into the eyes of Pai Mei Rak, who was raising a glass of white water to take a sip along with his aunt.

"Oh, I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

“What is the matter, Amon?”

“It's about the love of a young man walking behind that house.”

Uncle Jong turned to look at the young man that Amon was talking about and knew that Who is Amon referring to? Because there are two daughters of his own walking with him.

“What do you say, Brother Jong?”

"I don't know. You'll have to ask me about this."

"Amon, what did you say? Come on, I'm here. Ready."

Amon acted confused for a long time before speaking.

“I want the daughters of both of you to give birth to Goh.”

"Oh, I want two daughters, all of them."

Uncle Jong and Aunt Yu exclaimed and looked into each other's eyes.

"What's up, Brother Jong? You're here."

"I don't know, Amon. You'll have to ask Thip and Yaowman himself."

"Oh, Amon, I would like to ask Anan for the night."

Uncle Zhong's words ended. Amon and Pai looked at each other.

“But the night is still young, bro.”

"I don't know, Amon, but over there, the night is walking hand in hand with Anan over there."

And the four of them smiled at each other. Amon poured white water into everyone's glasses until they were full. Just then, Anan walked in front of everyone and came back to join the group.

Anan asks Amon and Pai for permission to take Ratri to his house with blessings from everyone.

The van ran out of Uncle Jong's house and everyone was still sitting down drinking glasses of white water.

In the evening the van came back into the house and when he got out of the car Anan and everyone saw him. Uncle Zhong and his bandmates lay stretched out.

Anant rushed over and shook Uncle Zhong's body. Sompop and Goh shake Amon's body. Until the two of them opened their eyes sleepily.

“Uncle, I would like to have a good night with P'Amon. Have you given it to me yet?”

"Oh, please."

Uncle Zhong replied and lay down to sleep.

“Brother Mon, have you asked Thip and Nongyao for me yet?”

"Oh, please, I agree."

Finish answering Sompop and Goh's questions. Amon lay down and went to sleep.

Three months later, Amon and Pai became bosses and went to ask for divine blessings from Nongyao for the birth of Goh. Uncle Jong and Auntie stayed as the boss and went to ask for the night for Anan.
