Ep. 11: A START OF SOMETHING NEW

DING DONG. Pond opens the door, followed by Nanon and Ohm. The awaited guests have finally arrived.

NANON, POND

EARTH, MIX
Sawatdee-ja.

OHM
Father [hugs Earth]. Paps [hugs Mix]. Heavy traffic?

MIX
Not really, we stopped by in some places first.

EARTH
[To Nanon and Pond] where are your parents?

NANON
They're still working upstairs. Let's have a seat first, Father Earth, Papxiw.

EARTH
Papxiw? Sounds cute.

OHM
[Hands around Nanon's shoulders] Are you copying me, Khun Korapat?

NANON
I'm not copying, I'm just inspired by.

Ohm pinches Nanon's cheek, causing Nanon to immediately hit and push Ohm's hand away. Now everyone is seated on the living room's sofa. Aunt May serves tea and snacks for them.

MIX
We're glad that you want to stay with us, Pond.

POND
I'm the one who should be grateful, Uncles.

EARTH
We're happy that our house will be more lively again.

OHM
Father, you sound like you don't have Edin and Somporn, and me and Nanon who visit you often.

EARTH
Often, but not always na.

NANON
We'll try to visit every weekend, Father Earth.

MIX
If you're busy, no need na. We understand.

TAY
Sorry, we've just finished a meeting.

Tay and New shake hands with Earth and Mix and sit on the sofa.

NEW
We should've been the ones who came to your house.

MIX
It's okay, we also wanna visit Erd's best friend nearby.

OHM
Oh, Aunt Tree?

EARTH
Yes, you wanna come?

OHM
I want to, but me and Non need to visit our friend in hospital.

TAY
Who?

OHM
AJ, dadlaw.

NANON
He had a car accident last night.

NEW
Oh, is he okay?

NANON
He broke his arm. He'll live, no worries.

TAY
Then, say hi for him from us. Hope he'll get better soon.

NANON
Okay, dad.

NEW
Ah right, about the visit. It's been a while since we saw Neo's mom.. Should we visit her too, Te?

TAY
Wait, they're the same Tree??
