The Sunday morning sun streamed through the windows of the recital hall. The deep tones of the piano keys breaking the silence and adding melody to the atmosphere..Singto watched proudly as his daughter sat straight backed and played a very difficult number with ease..he watched as the crowd applauded when she finished and took a bow before the audience..

Namtarn looked at him watching her thoughtfully, "Wat are u thinking of P'Sing?"

"Neen....how proud she would have been at Waan's achievement had she been here.."

Namtarn felt her brows knit.."You never forget do you?"she muttered too low for him to hear..

The recital finished and Waan came bouncing to them.

"Daddy how did I do?"she asked eagerly..

"You were wonderful honeybee..u bound the audience with the spell of ur music. "He smiled patting her back..

"Aunt Nam how do u like my hair? Buffy's mom fixed it for me in a French braid..do you think if I slept on my tummy tonight, it would still be good for school tomorrow?"

"Tell you wat? If u can persuade ur dad to bring you by my house tomorrow morning I ll fix it for u.."she said smiling at her niece.

"Dad can we?"

"It means you gotta wake up early honey bean..u up for it?"

"Yes daddy..thank u..ur the best" she jumped up and down..

"Ok so now tat it s settled can we leave? I am famished.."Papa Boon interrupted..

"You aren't coming by for lunch?" Namtarn asked the two men..

Singto shook his head "We have  few strays to round up Namtarn, maybe next time.."he said.

She nodded,smiling stiffly and walking to the car..

She watched them get into the jeep and drive off in the direction opposite to the farm..she knew Singto always took his daughter to visit her mother's grave on Sunday..she eased her vehicle out and drove away, jaws clenched.

Krist felt the morning rays of the sun kiss his skin as they filtered through the glass.  He felt a warmth across his back bringing back the memory of wat had happened last night..he closed his eyes, wondering wat turn his life was gonna take..he never lost control, but yesterday had been too much to handle alone...

Krist had come back from the party and gone straight to his room..he dropped his coat, tie and stripped off his clothes donning a robe. He walked out onto his terrace planning to take a dip in the pool to calm his nerves.

As he was soaking off his worries and admiring the stars in the sky,he heard a soft cough behind him
