Dhevaprom: The Fulfilled Promise

Chapter 1: The 6 Juthathep Princesses

"P'Petch, are they here yet?" Saruj was pacing up and down the Juthathep Palace while staring anxiously at the clock.

"P'Ruj, can you just relax? Nicha literally just called to say they were 10 minutes away." Phu rolled his eyes at the ambassador.

"I'm sorry, I just miss my princess too much..." Saruj apologised sheepishly as he took a seat next to Cheewan.

"Excuse me, P'Ruj, but you aren't the only one who misses his baby girl." Jak cleared his throat.

"Nobody doubted your love, Jak." Chat threw a pillow at his cousin.

"Look at all you middle-aged adults being all fools for your daughters." Petch made fun of his younger cousins.

"Says the biggest fool." Fah rebutted her husband.

"I'm sure it runs in the men of the Juthathep family." Ploy was used to the men's antics ever since she was born.

"And the Vanichmunkong family." Chawit chimed in, only to earn a glare from his wife.

"Khun Nick and the rest have arrived." One of the Palace helpers announced.

"They're here!" Upon hearing the announcement, the men rushed out to the driveway, leaving their wives laughing in disbelief.

"Captain Nickon Bhukamwong Juthathep has successfully completed his mission. Salute." Nick gave Chat a playful salute as he stepped out of the car.

"Khun Mae, you're the only one who welcomes me..." Nick gave Laorchan a hug while sulking over the fact that his father and uncles were only fussing over his sister and cousins.

"I made your favourites, just for you." Laorchan comforted her older child. 

"Nicha is going to be so jealous." Nick smirked as he returned to helping the girls with their luggage. 

"Thank you for taking care of the girls, I owe you one." Petch patted his oldest nephew on the shoulder in gratitude. 

"I have never regretted saying yes to an all expenses paid trip in my 28 years of living. But these girls are a force to reckon." Nick could feel a headache creeping up as he recalled the last 3 days he'd spent with the girls in one of JT's resorts in Chiang Rai. 

"P'Nick is exaggerating, we behaved." Nicha, the oldest of the Juthathep girls, elbowed her older brother. 

"Yeah, P'Nick wasn't even looking at us. He was so busy...Ouch!" Lita felt a tiny jab to her side from Nick.

"P'Nick...did you just hit me?" Lita glared at her cousin, ready to retaliate.

"I...I'm sorry, Lita! Ouch...ouch...ouch!" Nick immediately realised he'd messed with the wrong Juthathep girl. Lita ended up chasing Nick down the long driveway before Nick had raised the white flag. 

"Chan and I bought gifts for everyone. We felt bad that it was just us enjoying ourselves." Chara handed the souvenirs that she and her cousin got from the local market.

"As expected of our angel..." The older Juthathep ladies loved the presents that Chan and Chara carefully picked out for each of them. 

"Khun Por, I was surveying the resort surroundings and I figured we may need some work done. I've made a list that I could work on with the construction team and..." Chan was already reading her to-do list off her iPad. 

"Chan, relax. This was supposed to part of your graduation trip, not a business trip." Fah closed the case of her daughter's iPad. 

"Your mother's right. We can talk work when you officially join us next month." Petch couldn't help but worry about his daughter's workaholic tendencies at the young age of 22.
