Chapter 8.2
Ken pulled Chom out of the car after they reached the dock. Cee got off the car too.
“Ken, when will you be back?”
“When Chom and I have clear things up.”
“Ken, you can’t do this!”, Chom snapped.
Ken ignored her and pulled her into the boat with him. Cee watched them as they boat went sailing. As he went back to his car, his phone rang and it was Pancake.
“Where are you?”, she asked as soon as he picked up. “Beam said you went to get your camera, is it in China?”
“No stupid, I had to run some errands a little.”
“Do you know what has happened here? Ken and Chompoo went missing! And everyone’s going crazy here, well except your mom.”
“Really? That sucks….”
“Are you okay? You sound different.”
“Look, I’m going to tell you something and you better not tell anyone else, alright?”
“Okay, I guess……”
“I know where Ken and Chom are at.”
“Really? Where?”
“They’re over here at the dock. They left in a boat together. Well actually, Ken made Chom go with him.”
“Wait, how do you know?”
“Because I’m the one that took them here. Ken saw me outside and he made me take him.”
“I wonder where he’s taking her?”
“I don’t know but you better not tell anyone.”
“I won’t but are you coming back over here?”
“Yeah, I’m on my way.”
------------------------
Since the wedding didn’t go too well, everyone was bac at the Wongpuapan’s house worried about Ken and Chom.
“Daddy, is mommy going to be okay?”, Emily asked Tah.
“Of course baby. Don’t you worry okay. Mommy’s going to come home.”
Paula nudged Tah, “I think you should take Emily home first. If something comes up, I’ll call you.”
Tah nodded, “Okay. Come on Em, let’s go wait for your mom at home.”
After Tah left, Paula and the rest waited for the police to call on any updates. Everyone was waiting impatiently and Ron noticed that Mam wasn’t. She was sitting on the couch watching the news.
“Aren’t you worried about our son?”, he asked.
“Yes but I know he’ fine wherever he’s at.”
“What if someone held him for hostage?”
“If he was held hostage, the bad guys should be calling right now. Trust me, Ken and Chompoo are fine.”
“You say like you know they’re together.”
“I’m just saying. They coincidently went missing at the same time at the same place. Just calm down and relax and watch the news with me. Look there’s a huge storm coming. Sucks for those at the ebach taking a vacation.”
Cee looked up, “Storm? Beach?”
Everyone looked at Cee, “Is everything okay?”, Beam asked.
“Uh….I hope so…”
Cee looked nervously at Pan and she knew what he was feeling. They both excused themselves to go outside and talk.
“Pan, what am I going to do? My brother is out there on the boat and a huge storm is coming. What if something happens to him?”
“I don’t know. Stop freaking out. They’re probably on their way back right now. Try calling him.”
Cee called Ken but he didn’t pick up.
“He didn’t pick up. You think we should go get them?”
“I knew it!”, Beam said, walking up to Cee and Pancake. “I knew you guys had something to hide. I noticed at the wedding. You two were all calm when everyone else wasn’t.”
“Cee, tell us what you know”, his father demanded.
“Okay, yeah Ken and Chompoo are together. He took her to the dock and they left in a boat.”
“What?”, Paula asked. “Isn’t a storm coming though?”
Mam looked at Cee, “You better go get them right now. Pan too.”
“Me?! Why me?”
“Because you knew about this too.”
“I’ll go with Cee then”, Paula said.
“It’s okay Paula. This is all about Cee and Pancake. They should have known better. You wait here with me and Beam.”
Cee and Pancake got in the car and headed to the dock, hoping the storm wouldn’t come yet.
----------------------------
Ken stopped the boat in the middle of the ocean and turned to face Chompoo. It was already cloudy then.
“Why are you doing this?!” Chom asked. “Take us back there!”
“I’ll take us back if you promise me you won’t move to Singapore with Tah.”
“Is that why you took me here, to talk about this. I thought we talked about this already.”
“I can’t let you move away.”
“Why not?”
“Because Emily. She’s my daughter too!”
“Say Emily isn’t in the picture. And I told you I was moving away with Tah. Would you let me?”
“No!”, Ken quickly replied.
“Why?”
Ken walked closer to Chom and took her hands, “Because I love you. I always loved you.”
“Ken……you can’t say that to me. What about Luktarn?”
“I don’t love her. I thought I did but I thought about it and despite what happened in the past, I still love you. That’s why I can’t marry her.”
Chompoo was then speechless. Now she wonders if she made a mistake by agreeing to marry Tah. Did she love Tah like she loved Ken? Is she even still in love with ken? Ken reached over to kiss Chom but the thunder and lightning from above stopped him. Rain started pouring down, the waves of the ocean pushed the boat back and forth causing Ken and Chom to fall.
“A storm is coming Ken. Take us back to shore before it gets worst!”
Ken got up to go start the engine but it wouldn’t start.
“It’s not starting!”, Ken yelled from inside.
“What are we going to do now?! I can’t die now! I have Emily!”
Ken tried walking to Chom and grabbed her hands, “Don’t worry. What ever happens, don’t let go of my hands. Emily won’t lose her mom.”……………..
Ken pulled Chom out of the car after they reached the dock. Cee got off the car too.
“Ken, when will you be back?”
“When Chom and I have clear things up.”
“Ken, you can’t do this!”, Chom snapped.
Ken ignored her and pulled her into the boat with him. Cee watched them as they boat went sailing. As he went back to his car, his phone rang and it was Pancake.
