Sorry about that, Something urgent came up....
Contiuation for Chapter 1:
"Good Morning Young Master". Said Yai (head servant of the house). "I've made a hot rice soup to warm up you stomach, would you like a taste?"
Tik: "A cup of coffee will do."
"Coffee will be then." Replied Yai. Yai is an old house servant that has been serving the family for more than a decade. She was the only servant who knew about the hidden secrets of the family, and about Wannida.
Tik: "I won't be coming home for a week. Make sure you give this message to the Old Man for me".
At an old alley in the salum, a woman was gathering, collecting old garbages. She was merely in her early 40s, and was a strange woman, who no one knew of her background. She would wake up early dusk, and as she walked past by passengers, she would low down her head and said nothing. She goes by the name Wan. Wan was a lonely woman who never have any friends or relatives. The only person that has been keeping her company for all her lonely years was her daughter, whom she found abadoned in the middle of the street when she was just an adolencent child.
"Good Morning Mother." Krist greeted as she hug Wan from behind. "What are we having for breakfast this morning?"
Wan: "My child you're awake and already hungry. Here have some sweet bread.
Krist: "What about you Mother? Have you already eaten anything?
Wan: "Yes I have." Wan wanted the best for her daughter, and she wanted her daughter to be full each day and not starve and worry of nothing. The thing she feared most is Krist finding out that she was not her real mother, for she didn't want to see her hurt. "Oh yes, today is your 18th birthday, wat would you like to eat tonight?" She has decided to do Krist's birthdays every year on the anniversary day when she found her.
Krist: "I don't want to waste our money on this unimportant event. I just want to save our money so that we can use it to celebrate your birthday instead. Mother, I got to go, I'm metting with James." She gave her Mother a kiss on the cheek and took off quickly.
Krist is known in the salum area as the "Flower Girl". Everyday she would go around helping her friend James sale flowers in the street. She was also known for her beauty. Even though she's poor, she has the skin of a rich girl. White and soft. Her big rounded eyes could seduce any men, her thin red lips was as red as the rose. And her hair was long past her hip, when guys see her, they would turn and mesmerize by her beauty.
James is her childhood friend whom she helped when they were young. Krist helped him when he was being chased by a vicious dog. From that day, James and Krist started their friendship. But unlike Krist, James came from a middle class family. They don't have much and they don't have to little. His family have a small booth to sale flowers. Krist would come by sometime to help for little pay.
Krist: "Hey James I'll go sale over their next to that big company over there. I heard that the owner is filty rich. Maybe I can get him to buy some."
James: "Great, just be careful"
Krist sneak closer and closer to the building, she spotted a black Mercedez about to leave and noticed an old man in a business suit approached. Knowing that he was rich, she ran quickly to him.
Krist: "Mister, would you like to buy some flowers for your love one? Please, you have to help me buy some becuz my Mother is really sick and she needs medicine". Without looking the old man replied, "Get away from me you beggars, can't you see that I'm late for a meeting."
Krist: "But Sir, I really need your help, just buy some and I'll leave at once, never to return if you do."
"Alrighty then, I'll take five roses. Here, keep the change and remember not to come sale around this area anymore. This is a private property and you can get into trouble." He infromed her.
As he rolled down his window to get the rose from her, he notice a small locket hanging from her neck. "Child, where did you get this locket. You're not a thief are you?"
Krist: "It's a gift from my mother, she told me to that it's a good luck charm."
"Tell me, what's your mother's name?" "Sir, we are going to be late for the meeting", interrupted the driver. "Oh yes the meeting", replied the old Mister. "Here take my business card and call me tonight for I have something important to ask you."
Krist: "Thank You Mister." Confused, Krist watched as the car drive off. "Maybe he wanted to buy more roses. Great, that way, I can earn more money for Mother."
Krist: "Mother I'm home. I bought some noodles for us to have for dinner."
Wan: "Great you're home, how was the sale?"
Krist: "It was great. Oh yes mother, I met up with a man, I didn't asked him for his name, but he gave me his business card. Here. He told me to call him tonight for he has some questions to ask."
Wan: "Oh really, let me see. Kunchai Wittawat, CEO of Finance Corporation." She was shocked to see the name. The name of a man who she wanted to forget.
Chapter 2 will be updated soon....
