Twist Of Fate (KimPie)

Arrival to Bangkok

KIM'S 20th BIRTHDAY

As expected it was merely a simple celebration. Her mom cooked her favorites dishes such as, Thai Papaya Salad, Shrimp Gambas garlic salad, Pad Krapow Moo Saap (Fried Basil and Pork), Gaeng Keow Wan Kai (Green Chicken Curry),Tom Kha Kai (Chicken in Coconut Soup) and some wines served. They will have a dinner along with Kim's close friends and others in the Buranaphan immense garden. Kim invited Zee and Jane to come over and they both came at the same time.

On both end of the long table seats Mr. and Mrs. Buranaphan facing each other. Kim is sitting near to her father next to her is Zee then Jane while on the opposite seats Peach, Yam and Nann.

"What a pack of people on my daughter's birthday. Thank you everyone for coming over." Kim's dad said with a gratitude smile.

"Welcome sir.." Jane said shyly. Jane looks to Kim one seat apart from her, Zee in between them. "Happy Birthday Kimie."

Kim gazes to Jane and smiles. "Thanks Jane.."

"Happy Birthday baby! I love you!" her mom said.

"Thanks mom. Love you too." Kim replies.

"Enough that, let's eat first, shall we?" her dad interjecting them.

"Yes, dad."

So they ate and enjoyed the food. After dinner, everyone greeted Kim. Kim's parents let her spend some time with her friends.

Yam looks very surprise after realizing Kim's real status in the society. "I never thought that you is...-- I can't imagine it, that you and Peach were rich kids and you are not a tom? How come? but seriously you look better and so much pretty being a girl Kim." Yam said in awe.

Kim chuckles. "Thanks Yam but we are still human, the only difference is we are living differently from the others. We have everything."

"Not everything Kim.. Remember many things money can't buy." Yam said in contrary.

"I know.." Kim agreed.

Peach came. "Hi girls. How's your chatting? May I join?" he said as he drapes his arm on Yam's shoulder.

"Aw.. So you're finally official?" Kim asked.

Yam nods shyly with a pursed smile.

"No way! You said yes to Peach? How did he made you say yes, Yam?" Kim asked teasing.

"Hey Kimhan, what do you think of me huh?" discomfort Peach said.

Yam laughs inwardly.

"Nothing Peach..." Kim said grinning. "Okay, I'll give the two of you some space.. I don't wanna be bitten by ants here!" she said in amusement then left the two.

Yam and Peach just laughed.

Kim went to Zee and Jane who seem talking from afar perch upon the garden bench like having a deep conversation. She approaches the two. "Hey hey hey Zee and Jane, what's up guys? How are you doing there? You guys look serious. What are you talking about?" Kim said.

Zee and Jane looked at her and they stood up. "Hi there Kimie. It was really nice seeing you again.. You look so different now. You are very feminine but you managed pretending as a tom, you convinced me." Jane said seems astonished.

"Err.. I'm sort of flattered." Kim replied.

"I never imagined how rich you are. Your richness was beyond my expectation. This garden could stand as a parking lot for more than fifty cars and your family mansion looks like a palace Kimie. I envy you, seriously.. You are way more richer than Pie... (Jane covered her mouth after slipping out Pie's name) Opps.. Sorry. I mustn't mention her.." solemn Jane said.
