CHAPTER 24: Trust

A-Nueng finished her exam. Life goes on as usual. We had to patiently wait for the results for two months. This may not be stressful for others, but for those who think this will determine their future, it is a long and painful wait. Even though the cheerful girl acted as if she wasn't under any pressure, when it came time for A-Nueng to enter her student card to see the results, she bit her nails so tensely that I had to hit her hand.

"Don't bite your nails. It doesn't reflect your character well."

"Will I enter the university I want, Ar-Nueng?"

"No."

It was Piengfah's voice. She stood next to us and she was the most stressful of us all. She doesn't want her daughter to go to university but she also wants to see her succeed. The only person who was calm and acted maturely was the grandmother.

"Why are you so cold? You will make your daughter lose her self- confidence."

"If she succeeds, it will be bad for me. I don't want her to come in."

"Wow. The results are out. I'm in!"

A-Nueng jumped and screamed in front of the computer. She showed the results to all of us.

"I got in. Grandma. Ar-Nueng. Mom. I got in!"

"Wow! My daughter is so smart."

Piengfah jumped and shouted along with A-Nueng before she could finish her sentence. She forgot what she wanted. She then fell to the floor and started crying.

Sob.

"You're in. So you won't be staying with me."

"Ar-Nueng, I passed. I can be with you now."

A-Nueng hugged me without caring about her mother's suffering. I was so overwhelmed that I couldn't speak. I could only hug my friend's daughter in silence. I'm happy and relieved. I am also proud of myself for being a part of this cheerful girl's bright future. So this is what it feels like when the person we care for gets everything we want. This is so amazing.

"Good. You did very well."

"We can be together from now on. I don't need to go anywhere."

A-Nueng cried and looked at me emotionally.

"I will grow up to be what you expect of me. I will be your good girl. Only yours."

I smiled at my friend's daughter before I stroked her face and nodded. Something inside me has changed.

"You've always been my good girl. Always"

You are the best ever.

Our celebration didn't stop there because Chet, who wanted to play the role of a father, wanted to celebrate her daughter's first steps towards success. He begged me to take her to eat with him. As I said, A-Nueng is the center of her parents' love and attention. But both of them had to beg me to intercede when they wanted to spend time with their daughter.

"You're great, kid. You're smart like me."

I glanced at Chet, who praised his daughter but wanted to share in her success, even though all he claimed was an intangible gene.

"No matter how smart she is, she won't succeed if she doesn't study."

"Then you are as determined as my father and I."

"My grandfather?"

For A-Nueng, the word 'grandfather' is something new and strange because she has only used the word 'grandmother' throughout her life. She suddenly had many relatives when she grew up.

"Yes. I will introduce you to him someday. He really wants to meet you."

"You told your father you had a daughter? What did he say?"

"At first he was surprised. But I showed him A-Nueng's photo when I told him, and he adored her so much. She's so cute."

"How did you get my picture, father?"

A-Nueng started to feel more comfortable calling Chet 'father'. She seemed surprised when she heard about the photo.

"I took candid photos of you. Now your grandparents, aunts and uncles are eager to eat with you and get to know you. Let's do that."

"Ahh."
