In the end, I ended up accepting my father's agreement. This time, I'm more serious than I've ever been in my life. Dad took everything very seriously, to the point of calling a lawyer to draw up a detailed contract, sending me the document to confirm that I would comply with the agreement, without breaking anything. The witnesses who had to sign it were my mother and Mawin.
"I think his agreement is too hard on our daughter. How is she going to turn a hundred thousand into a million in just one year? Who could do that?"
"I can."
"You think you can because you've always had your father as your support. But now you have to fend for yourself and you're still under pressure to do the impossible. How crazy... I shouldn't have gotten pregnant with you in the first place."
My mother crossed her arms and spoke, irritated, before looking at me with a soft gaze, as if she were looking at a Disney princess.
"Will Mommy's princess be okay?"
"I'll be fine, Mom. I'll show Dad that I'm not that incompetent."
My father watched me silently, without expressing any opinion, from the beginning to the end of the "solemn ceremony" of signing.
"I'll wait and see," Dad said.
"Thank you."
"Then I'll stop acting tough... ah."
And then, my gentle father changed his tone to a dejected expression, with a deep sadness, like someone completely desolate. His shoulders, which were straight before, sagged.
Could it be that he finally took pity on me?
"What's wrong, Khun Pa?"
"Mew got a boyfriend." 😅
Oh my... All the excitement I felt before disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Throughout this year, I'll make sure to remind you of this often... And by the way... Jane, is that matter I asked you to take care of ready?"
Janephop, who had been silent for a long time, nodded slightly before taking something out of his expensive suit and handing it to my mother with reverence.
"Yes, ma'am. The ink is of the highest quality, and the paper is even water-resistant. Unless it is burned, nothing will destroy it."
"Excellent."
As soon as she finished speaking, my mother put on a mask with the image of Mew Nittha, replacing her own face, and turned to my father.
"Anek, this is Mew." 😅
"What are you doing?"
Dad put his hand over his mouth, as if Mew were really there.
"Ah... what a beautiful choice of image."
"I remember you like it. Every time you came back from the company and passed by the building, you would always look at this picture."
"So adorable, Mew."
"But I'm sorry. I already have a boyfriend. And I love him, I love him so much! Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you..."
"How far are you going with this? And why are you singing that song?"
"I sang it for my boyfriend at the birthday party last night."
"I'm dying... my heart is broken. How long are you going to torture me like this?"
"I'll keep going until you cancel this ridiculous contract!"
I stood up and signaled for Janephop to follow me, while my mother, still wearing the Mew Nittha mask, looked curiously and asked:
