"Ok. Let's go. I'm gonna take you there."

Richie took Rawee to the hotel where their daughter was staying. When they arrived, the man warned once again:

"Rawee, don't you dare to ruin everything.  Our daughter's happiness is at stake. If you do what you always do, I swear, I'll divorce you!"
"Teerak, don't worry, I've already learned my lesson! I just want to talk to my daughter  and tell her how much I love her and how happy I am for them. I know I made mistakes, and now it will take time for me to win back your trust, but I'm pretty sure I will succeed." Rawee said earnestly.
"Ok, come on. Let me take you there."

The couple crossed the hotel lobby and went straight to the elevators. Once inside and going up, Richie said:

"Rawee, Becky will be on defensive. You should know that you'll need to be patient and open your heart to her with complete sincerity, just like you did with me. Show her she can trust you. Only then will our daughter listen to you. Do you understand?"
"Yes honey, I do! Thank you so much for your help. I'll do my very best to regain my daughter's love and trust, I promise!"
"Good! Ready? We arrived."
"Yes!" The woman said with conviction.
"Ok, here we go!"

Richie knocked on the door. And waited. Rebecca opened it and was surprised to see her father with her mother standing right beside him in front of her. For a moment, no one said a word.

Becky's eyes moved from her father to her mother, and the surprise on her face slowly turned into tension. Her body stiffened and she held the door a little tighter. Freen found the silence and delay weird, so She excused herself from her brother-in-law and went to see what was going on.

"BB..."

The thai girl saw her girlfriend completely frozen in the doorway, holding on tightly. She wasted no time and immediately ran after her.

"Love, what's up?" Sarocha asked worried.

And then she saw Becky's parents at the door...

"Dad...?" The caucasian girl said quietly. Then her gaze fell on the woman beside him. "Mom?"

At that moment, Freen side hugged her girlfriend showing her unconditional support.

Rawee swallowed hard. She had imagined this moment a hundred times since she left home, but now that it was really happening, the words seemed to stuck in her throat.

"Backy." Richie said gently, trying to ease the tension. "Can we come in?"

The greenish brown-eyed girl hesitated for a moment. Her eyes stayed on her mother, seaching her face, as if trying to understand  why she was there. Freen stepped forward and said, pulling Becky towards her, and cleaning the way for the couple:

"Hi mom, hi dad. Come on in, please!"

They went inside and Freen whispered to her girlfriend:

"Take it easy, BB. Calm down, I'm right here for you, my love! Let's face this together, once and for all."
"Why is she here?" Rebecca asked, her voice guarded.

Richie Jr came to see what was happening and got startled when he saw Rawee...

"M-mom...?"

Rawee took a small step forward, her hands trembling slightly.

"I know you're angry." She said softly. "And you have every right to be! Because I made so many mistakes... more than I can count!"

Richie Jr, Freen and even Richie senior were surprised by the woman's statement.

Becky looked away for a moment, clearly struggling with her emotions.

"Becky, my daughter, I didn't come here to argue." Rawee continued. "I just... I just wanted to see you, to tell you that I love you. And that I'm so proud of the woman you've become."
