Chapter 31
Mrs. Clay jar
A smile is still stuck on Tianwat’s face as he found out what happened to Nateerin at the meeting from P’Chayt.
As she already knows that the company sent him here for a purpose, the clear head person moved faraway from him to the end of the tent not willing to return to be near him again.
“Ri” Tianwat turned to call the person sitting on the side who stopped by today to discuss about work in face three before coming to sit and chat with Tianwat before going back.
“Hm”
“Are you staying here for long?” “Probably not if the project is already in then I’m going to ask for another person to continue to handle it. Staying here there’s only people staring.” Pariwat said.
Him and Mon are in the process of asking to transfer back to Bangkok. Honestly, if the company didn’t place itself already, the two of them wouldn’t have accepted this project from the start.
“And you?” Puriwat asked.
“Well probably another two months.” Tianwat said because its close to the date that Mrs. Sajee set a deadline for him to arrange a wedding with Muey fully. He’s searching for a time to guard her already.
“Would you say getting married is really more better than being single or not?” Tianwat wanted to know his eyes is still staring down the thin figure who’s lowering her head doing the reports he ordered her to do.
Pariwat smiled while nodding his head because from use to being lonely, now his life is nearly fulfilling completely. The only thing remaining is the witnessing love that he’s waiting for. When is Mon ready and is willing to have with him just once.
“Why’d you ask? Or are you interested in someone special already?” Puriwat suspiciously teased though in reality he’s starting to know his younger brother’s hint already ever since the day Nateerin came back not reaching Bangkok.
“Well, I’m still in the process of thinking” Tianwat said normally even though it’s a biggest decision in his life.
”It’s not a joke because you have a responsibility to take care of a person.” Puriwat warned because he see’s that Tianwat is still teasing Nateerin nonstop.
“Is It absolutely difficult like that?”
“Therefore, you must save it ultimately well as much as you’re capable of because family is the only thing that’s going to stay with you for the rest of your life” He talked until Tianwat isn’t sure of his own potentials, and compared his relationship with Puriwat’s. His is different level it’s so far from love and understanding.
It’s a good deed already that him and Muey hasn’t killed each other.
“You and Mon must love each other a lot.”
“If you love someone as much as life, you’ll understand.” Pariwat answered.
“You’re lucky that you’re able to meet Mon.” Tianwat said softly.
“You’re lucky as well” Pariwat said and just stopped there. It’s not too difficult for Tianwat to guess who his older brother meant.
He shook his head smiling why is everyone forcing him to marry Muey so badly. But as everyone sees all the good and loveliness even Muey who’s fallen for him this far, he thought of liking her as a reply. This should just be enough to living a couples life if it’s like that then he would let everything be.
“What do you think of Muey?” Pariwat should know Muey more than him who isn’t interested in this little sister much besides the time he thinks of teasing her to cure his boredom his older brother didn’t answer but returned the question saying
“And what do you think of her?” As he heard that, Tianwat had a smile on his face.
“Well, she’s more cute than I thought...” Tianwat stared at Nateerin. He decided already that there will be no divorce.
There’s only a wedding celebration to announce for everyone to know the legal statuses between him and her.
Then he thought of something fun sending a message to the person who escape to go sit faraway, and she can only lower her face every time he stares at her.
‘Are you exhausted? You’re just lowering your head. Your neck will become stiff otherwise it’ll be terrible look up little loser. Mother to be of Haeb and Hao you look like you’re about to faint. I have an inhalant do you want it or not? Is my face like a ghost? do tell. You’re not brave enough to make eye contact (it’s nothing just seeing you I’m exhausted instead)’
Tianwat looked at Nateerin grabbing her phone to read the message before she raised her head to look at him for a bit and quickly lowered her face more as he’s still staring at her until he laughed. Teasing Muey is fun to death or if it’s going to be like this for those who argue, he believes his married life must not be bored as much. About the reports, its a little brutal but its for him to control Nateerin to stay and be obedient.
The pass lessons taught him that do not let Muey’s mind be free or else she would think of a way to run from the grip of his hands.
‘Endure it a little more whenever the wedding day comes, I won’t let you suffer like this anymore’
Tianwat thought of soothing the bride in his heart.
Finally, Nateerin is done with the brutal reports. She raised her head to take a deep breath once again.
“You’re all done already.” She didn’t sniff the air in her lungs in time the smooth voice came and stood haunting her from behind made Nateerin’s mercury broke.
“Why? Are you going to add more for me to do?”
“Oh you already know.” Tianwat teased and the results were effective.
“Honestly why do you always like teasing me?” She asked and it stayed like that there’s no response if Mr. Pretty boy doesn’t want to answer.
Even though the two aren’t disagreeing loudly, they can’t escape from the eyes of the women from the office who stopped by to join work around here because no matter where they are, Tianwat and Nateerin always easily becomes an interesting point.
The girls peeked to see what the problem was as others smiled a lot, and some stared intensely which clearly telling that its not just a normal level relationship.
Because they were busy staring at each other, they didn’t realize their arguments are going to cause rumors and be widely spread faster than a skin infection from the hands of the special news unit(coworkers) that reports about regular people except the company that doesn’t think about the cost of repaying someone. (Meaning the rumors in the company is always about those two and not about the company itself)
While the war seems like it’s about to explode, the gang came in to stop in time.
“Hey how is it top executive chief.” Buripong said. (His friends starts to speak properly with him) As Nateerin saw them coming, she turned and went back to work because she didn’t want to argue with people who have bad behaviors.
“You’re not going out to check on-site today. Come guys come roll out the red carpet for boss to walk a little otherwise boss’s feet will be dirty.” Narit mocked after he just found out that his friend bought the shares instead of Tada and didn’t tell anyone.
Even though Tianwat never use to say anything, his friends can guess that he’s not poor especially looking at his new European car that reverse out instead of his old used car that was driven down to take a bath in the canal...but didn’t think that he was this rich because Tada’s old shares cost hmm don’t know how many millions.
“Boss will we get our six months bonus right.” Narit teased.
“Let me know when you’re going to sell it. I’ll buy it right away 10 shares 3 baht. I’ll pay in cash too. Are you interested?”
“Can you guys not talk about this? I’m still very poor.” The serious voice complained because ever since he bought the shares, he’s penniless.
“Don’t act like you’re poor.”
“Go look at the small number in the account book there’s zero baht remaining because the last bit of money was all taken by the big dipper to do merits.” Didn’t say no but cut off to stare at the Big Dipper that’s sitting looking sullen around here.
“You have no money left then what are you going to eat. You should shoot a program about the circle life of a Thai architect in a different region depressed life flat luggage girlfriend waiting to push” As they were done talking, they all started to laugh the fate of Tianwat’s life that’s close to being rich but is still poor.
“I need to pay a debt of 5 million, and I still don’t know where I’m going to find the money to pay them back...” As she heard that, Nateerin started to listen attentively.
“Who do you owe?” Buripong asked.
“Well its someone around here. If I don’t marry her, I have to give her 5 million to cheer her up.” His mouth is talking but his eyes went to stare at the debt collector who’s sitting still.
The gang immediately knew who he meant. As they know, they thought of laughing.
“Its not hard. Then you should get married and wash away the debt. Nowadays it’s hard finding money. I see it’s easier to lose your virginity” Witoon came up with the idea. Nateerin flinched with the resolution to the problem of TectThoon.
“Are you crazy Thoon why are you ordering teaching him to do something like that. You’re clearly encouraging him to sell his body. Being a man you have to have honor. Don’t lose your body to someone easily you have to keep your pure self for your wife on the wedding night do you understand” Buripong said. But the other person teased with a daze face acting like he didn’t know anything.
“But it’s 5 million, if it were me, I’d be willing to lose my body. I don’t have the knowledge to find that much money to spend.” Witoon honestly admitted.
“Man you jerk.” Narit teasingly condemned with Buripong repeating.
“Use your gold wings to bury the diamond.”
“You 50 baht jackfruit ghost. Tian isn’t willing to do that. Isn’t that right Tian?” After they were done quarreling, they turned to ask Tianwat at the same time.
Meanwhile, Nateerin nearly buried herself under the table under the chair escaping from embarrassment. Tianwat stayed still to think.
“Mmm well it’s interesting.” Tianwat answered seriously without considering if Nateerin is willing for him to have her on hold or not (he basically claimed her)
“You see money comes first a man’s pride can’t be eaten, but Tian’s level he has to lose his body to someone that’s worthy of his rank. Money is the main key here. You have to go millions more up.”
“If it’s like that then you won’t be able to spend the 5 million. You have to repay her back too. You have to learn to realize in the hot red curry rice did you know don’t eat on the house and defecate on top of a roof. Staying at a boss’s house don’t be calm looking easy pumping a baby girl and boy for the boss to watch for fun do you understand” Buripong hit his friend’s shoulder. (I’m assuming its a saying in Thai he’s referring the parents as red curry rice which is Muey’s mom and boss is Tian’s mom)
No ones interested in the person pale face sitting there except for one person who stared at her smiling with the cunning eyes that’s telling her
‘he‘s able to find a way out in life already’
Nateerin’s heart nearly dropped when she realized P’Tian use to tell her that he’s willing to marry her. He was telling the truth, but its to wash away the debt
Nateerin tried to get it together. She’s not willing to have the person who’s sneakily staring dominating her heart. She has to find a way to escape to save herself before P’Tian brings himself to blossom with her.
‘Haeb Hao don’t come out at this moment just yet wait for mom to search for a new better dad!’ (LMAO)
There’s problem at the site. The suppliers were late again which made Tianwat angry and told that if they don’t get their situation straightened out, he’s going to find a new supplier before turning back.
Tianwat had discussed with the civil engineer and the system engineer he decided with everyone before the project starts to become delayed again. The board ordered him already saying losing much won’t be a problem but don’t make one more project crash.
They had the workers change shifts and there’s a spotlight shining at the site all night soon the chairman will come and see the progress of the project, and everything has to go as planned. Then his phone rang their was a loud sound like an explosion
“What did you do to Muey?!?!” Tianwat couldn’t move the phone far from his ear in time.
“You have such a bad behavior. Who ordered and taught you to be this kind of person? Tell me right now what are you thinking of doing?” Even though one of his ear is feeling numb, it didn’t make him shock or surprised. He still replied in an exhausted voice.
“Mom what do you want me to do? Didn’t you want me to get with your precious daughter. Well I’m already following what you’ve wanted.”
“You’re thinking of getting married to wash away the debt right?! Don’t lie to me!”
‘That means she went to tell mom’ Tianwat thought before saying
“My friends were just joking. Muey’s the one thinking too much herself.” At first he thought of just making a calm dazed face, then get married and let it be. His friends had to joke around until his bride was scared.
“I don’t believe you. You’re going to strap her and then leave her right? Like when you left to see that woman don’t think that i don’t know your behavior. You child who loves not good. If i knew you were like a rhino, I’d shove ashes in your mouth since you were born already!”
“That was before, but now, I’m not like that, and the person who left me first is Muey. If I didn’t follow her in time to bring her back, she would have been in Thailand by now...mom, you would have missed out on your grandkids.” Tianwat intentionally emphasizes on that last sentence for his mom to listen slowly.
As she heard the word “grandkids,” from smoke coming out of her ears, the voice that sounded like ending a life quiet down and immediately became soft and warm.
“Are you speaking the truth or no? And why is Muey scared of you? You teased her again didn’t you? Tell me right now you brat”
“If you want grandkids, you let me handle everything and as for you mom, look for a good day to prepare the wedding. In 2 more months, I’ll take Muey to Phuket to get married myself.” At that moment, Mrs. Sajee was silence. In the end, she was willing to hang up.
As he made a promise like that, he’s still stuck with many more problem. He opened the chart sighed at how the company managed everything. He doesn’t know how he’s going to clear all of this before the wedding. He turned to look at the time on his watch, and it’s almost 7pm already.
Tianwat put all the blue prints away and got everything ready to go back and rest. He looked for Nateerin but couldn’t find her then thought that she’s probably went to wait for him in the room already because if there’s anything wrong, the guards would have told him.
As he was going to walk back to the camp, there’s a sound from a group that’s sitting in front of a small house that he passed.
“Tian come play soccer with us again” Gahng’s voice came from the group of Hammock who’s sitting messing around.
“No. I’m tired.” Tianwat said. He’s been out in the dirt all day already and wants to shower then sleep. He’s not in the mood at this moment to play soccer.
“You’re scared to lose again or what? The owner of the same voice purposely teased to trigger him. Tianwat stared back and meant to refuse again, but then he changed his mind as he’s suspicious that when did Nateerin go sit with the group and why isn’t she waiting for him in the room. And it seems Gahng can tell.
“If you win, you can carefully take Muey back. But if you lose, Muey has to move and stay here with us at this small house.”
“But the house is already full.” Tianwat objected because he had arranged for the houses to be full just in case Muey still needed to separate from him. There’s only the shed up at the tip of the camp that’s the only thing remaining.
“It’s ok. Just enough to have her move out is enough. We can reject someone, so Muey can stay.” Tianwat took a deep breath as if he’s annoyed with some peoples stubbornness who thinks of helping Muey.
After that, he looked and said.
“You want it that way...fine”
