The Remnants of Our Love | LingOrm (LadaEarn)

Chapter 9

Fahlada was about to leave work until she was met by her mother, Khun Ying Rasamee.

"Lada. Where have you been? You didn't come home last night." Her mother was worried.

"I was at Bow's. You know just having a little fun at night, so I didn't want to go home and worry you about it."

"Next time tell me when you are not coming home."

"Ka Khun Mae." Fahlada said in a lovely voice.

"Oh. And don't forget tonight's dinner. I told you a week ago about it." Her mother warned.

"At home? I almost forgot." She smiled, hoping her mother does not catch on the fact that she no longer can think about anything else other than her about her wife.

——
Fahlada enters her family house and saw that everyone was seated. But what she did not expect was that Visanu's family was also sitting at the table with her family.

She knew that her mother has been desperately trying to get her to marry Visanu since before she even went abroad. She just hoped that Visanu was smart enough to take the hints that she was not ever going to be interested. But nope. Visanu was sitting down with a big smile. She only quite ever saw him as a brother. To her, only women were allowed to enter her heart.

To not be rude, Fahlada greets everyone and decided to sit down next to her niece. It was one of the only seats left, so she had no choice really. That was unless she wanted to sit next to Visanu.

"Since everyone is here. Let's start eating!" Khun Ying Rasamee exclaimed.

Fahlada did not really have an appetite because she knew what her mother was planning. Her father was quiet like he always was, and it's probably because he knew as well, what her mother was doing. Her appetite was even worse when Visanu keeps on trying to give her food using his utensils. Growing up, she was not very good at handling her emotions. Things that bothered her were atypical such as everything has to come in pairs, everyone must not touch other people's food with their utensils, just to name a few.

"P'Nu. I can get my own food." She says in a straight tone.

"It's ok. I can get for you. What do you want to eat?" Visanu was not getting the message.

"P'Nu! I said I can get my own food. So please just... just take only your own food." She was getting annoyed.

"Lada. Why are you like this? Visanu is just being nice." Her mother scolds her.

"But I don't like it." She replied.

"It's ok Auntie." Visanu looked at Khun Ying Russamee.

"It's ok. No need to worry about such trivial matters. Visanu is going to marry Fahlada soon. Just think of it as getting to know each other." Visanu's mother finally brings up the topic that Fahlada wanted to avoid.

Right then, the television plays. A clip of Khun Ying Rasamee announcing that Fahlada and Visanu were to be engaged.

"Married? Who is getting married? I never said I was getting married to P'Nu!" Fahlada was clearly mad.

"Lada. You're getting older and we need you to look after the Hospital. Isn't it better to do it with Visanu?" Khun Ying Rasamee explained.

"No, Mom. I am not getting married. I'm sorry everyone, but I will be leaving."

Fahlada leaves the dining table and exits the house. She was in her car and driving to the place she was supposed to avoid, Earn's apartment.

——

"P'Mor?" Earn opens the door to see Fahlada looking gloomy.

"Earn..." Fahlada responds weakly.

"Why are you here?"

"Earn... can I stay here with you?"

Earn could sense that Fahlada was irritated with the news. She didn't ask any questions about it and just held the Doctor in her embrace.

"Are you tired, Teerak? Earn will be here for you."

She really hoped that that would always be the case. Even though Fahlada has not expressed her feelings, she still wants to be there for the Doctor. Getting to be there with her wife even if she doesn't know if Fahlada was in love with her, she doesn't mind.
