Chapter Five:
Soriya put on her black outfit, pulled her hair back and put on her mask. Another night out wouldn't be so bad tomorrow was going to be terrible the drive to Hua Hin, masquerade....she didn't want to think about it. Soriya retrived her house keys and sneaked out the window. She knew Kiet and Sakda were patrolling the streets tonight, they were always fun to play with. Sakda was the fat short one and Kiet the tall skinny one, somethings they had in common, stupid and scared of specters. She gathered some rocks and hid behind a bush, they came strolling,
Kiet: "Sakda, do you think if I gain muscles the ladies will like me more?" (He tries to flex)
Sakda: "Man who cares if you have a nice body, it's your position in the war the ladies like."
Kiet: "Of course a pig like you would say that."
Sakda: "HEY!" Soriya threw a stone and hit Kiet's head.
Kiet: "What was that?" He felt his head. She threw another at Kiet, "OUCH!" They look back to see if there was anyone, Kiet: "Sa...sa...Sak....do..do you see anything?"
Sakda: "No...no..."
Kiet: "Okay....it's...probably nothing..."
Soriya: (She tried to make her voice ghost-like) "KIET! SAKDA! I come for your soul!"
Both: "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Help me mommy!!!!" She laugh so hard, these too were too easy.
Harit: "Having fun." She stop immeditely. "Come out if you aren't a coward."
She wasn't scared of him, Soriya got out of her hiding area.
Harit: "Well we meet again, strager lady." She remembered what he had touched something in her roared and she wanted to cut off his hands. Soriya didn't say anything, tonight was cold like the other, a breeze swoooped by it was soundless. Harit took a step forward and she one back, "Scared? You know you aren't suppose to be out this late. If I reveal who you are, you and your family will pay a big fine."
Soriya: "You are trying to threaten me? I'm not scared, money wise I'm ready to pay anytime."
Harit: "So you are a spoiled brat I see, that's why you dare come out here at night."
Soriya: "I'm not some brat you are talking about, you pervert, how dare you insult me." She still had a few rocks in her right hand and she aimed them towards his knees, Harit fell down and she ran for it.
Harit: "Hey! You! Come back here. Damn it!" She was out of sight, how was she able to escape so fast? He didn't even see her moves, she was sneaky! Soriya didn't go anywhere she hid behind a tree and waited for the man to leave and went back inside the house.
Rita was in the kitchen, today Suay and Mali brought over some bakings, they acted somewhat weird and fragile towards her. Sittichai came in drunk, she didn't ask any questions and started to leave.
Sittichai: "What huh? You disgusted of me?"
Rita: "No."
Sittichai: "Then why leave so soon?"
Rita: "I'm going to bed now."
Sittichai: "Wait there you stupid bi***!" He grabbed onto her hair, "Where do you think you are going? I didn't say you could leave yet."
Rita: "Ouch! Khun Chai, let go of me right now!"
Sittichai: "No, I won't you worthless wh***! Don't order me around!" He slapped her and beated her down senselessly. Rita was in pain and cried. Wipa came in to check on Rita and saw Sittichai beating Rita. She panicked,
Wipa: "Khun Sittichai! Please stop." She moved him from Rita. She was on the ground crying.
Sittichai left for his room. Wipa leaned Rita on the wall for support.
Rita: "Khun Wipa, I can't take it anymore." She hugged Wipa. "Wipa, I want it to end."
Wipa: "Don't worry Khun Rita I'll help you."
Tawaschai was in his office, it was dark, just hours ago Sansanee told him that she was going to be engaged to a rich man that she was done with him. How could she be so heartless? He didn't know what to do now, he reached for the gun he kept handy in his top drawer and pulled the trigger.
Harit decide to visit Tawaschai, it's been a long time. He opened the door, "Why is it dark?" He turned on the light and saw in front Tawaschai in a pile of blood. Harit ran over, "Tawaschai! CHAI! Why did you do this to yourself!?" He took Tawaschai to the hospital, the docters told him, Tawaschai was unsavable, it was a bullet to the head, not many people survive this condition. The nurse came out,
Nurse: "Docter! He has a heart beat!" Harit's heart lit, the docter went in to check. Harit waited impatiently for his report, the docter came out.
Docter: "I don't know how this can happen, probably only rarely but your friend is okay now, I gave him some drugs, he may have damages in his brain but I'm sure he'll recover surely."
Harit: "Thank you docter." Harit went inside to check on Tawaschai. He was still sleeping and Harit was about to leave when he heard Tawaschai mumble,
"San...Sansanee how could you have done this to me? Please...come back..."
Harit: "Tawaschai!" His eyes open slowly, "Where am I? And why can't I see?" Harit rushed for the docter, he came in and examined Tawaschai.
Docter: "It seems you are blind, I'm sorry but at least you are alive."
Harit: "Thank you docter." The docter exit.
Tawaschai: "Harit...you should go tomorrow to the party, don't worry about me." He was in rage, all because of one girl, he would never see again, that heartless woman.
Harit: "Tawaschai, I can't go you are in the hospital like this it's not right."
Tawaschai: "No, go I don't want you to waste your time here."
Harit: "At least tell me who Sansanee is."
Tawaschai: "Sansanee...(he laughs) she was a woman I dated, she took my money and married someone else, Kasem Sintawichai, his cousin married Rita."
