Chapter 6:
Phonuma looked happier than the past few
days, because today when she comes home to see her youngest daughter is here,
although somewhat shocked to see Thapakorn but Chanonn reaffirms that Sawin had
ordered it.
“Trust me, Aunt Phon. Win
made a vow to me that he couldn’t take care of the ranch. I should ask Tha step
in here in a very special case.” Chanonn said so and the more Phonuma’s
daughter gave a short nod as if yes, Phonuma had some confidence that if Sawin
woke up to receive it. Knowing that Thapakorn came here, her son wouldn’t be so
angry.
“You have promised, not
Nephew, Win wakes up tomorrow and yells throughout the hospital. knowing that
someone else is taking care of this ranch instead.” Inthra, who sat at the
dinner table, couldn’t help but be sarcastic.
“Aunt Inn… h… How long
will you be here? Shouldn’t you go back to Bangkok? It’s useless to stay here.”
The niece, Inthra always thought she was
soft-headed, had no voice, was speaking like that and made her hiccup.
“Uh...and...and Phii
Tha? Will you start working?” Someone just realized that he wasn’t acting like
‘Lalin’, pretending to be interested in Thapakorn who was sitting on the
opposite side of him instead.
“Yeah.”
“Then hurry up and eat, I
will take you.”
“It’s late Lin, what do
you want him to do?” Phonuma turned to her daughter. It’s dark like this is not
the time to wander around the ranch at all. The girl’s big round eyes turned to
look with determination and hardness like a mother’s frustration, because she
had raised this child for 22 years, she had never seen Lalin’s eyes look like
Sawin like this before.
“Working has nothing to
do with time, mom.” Words are as decisive as Sawin, there is no mistake.
Phonuma stared at her daughter in disbelief but the other party didn’t pay
attention to her eyes. Quickly turn around and put some rice into his mouth,
this meal method is not like Lalin.
... Strange... Ever since
Lalin woke up from an accident, she’s become like Sawin as if in the wrong
place!
“Aunt Phon what is it?” Thapakorn saw Phonuma staring at the thin
woman who was looking forward to eating, so had to ask because she was afraid
that the other party might be suspicious of something. This time, Sawin’s entry
into Lalin’s body is something that Phonuma should not be aware of, as it will
bring so much trouble and questions to this unfortunate widow.
... A question that even they were worried
about…
... Sawin is in Lalin’s body, where is the
real Lalin? Since Sawin’s body is still lying unconscious in the hospital…
Phonuma turned to look at the tall man who had
the status of fiancée of Lalin’s future fiancé and smiled faintly.
“No, I just saw Lin and
thought of Win.” Her words made the three people at the dining table freeze.
Even the woman who was quickly scooping rice into her mouth froze her spoon in
mid-air.
“That’s it! Lin woke up
this time, she really looks like Nephew Win. In the past, I didn’t think they
were the same.” Inthra went with a smirk at the end, “... well, I don’t know if
you act like you’re replacing Nephew Win or not.”
The girl’s big round
eyes immediately glanced at her own real aunt, from the beginning she was
stunned at her mother’s words. Instead, she became displeased by Inthra’s
sarcastic remarks.
“So, let’s go back to
Bangkok tonight, I’ll let someone send you.” Sawin, who has never bowed to
anyone and quickly cuts the line first, his eyes fixed on Inthra’s gaze.
Satisfied too.
“I am not going back!
Until Nephew Win recovers. I’ll be here to testify to Nephew Win that while he
was lying innocently in the hospital, who was nibbling his inheritance here?
Even though the name of the owner of this ranch is Nephew Win and Tha, don’t
forget that Amon wrote in the end that I can come and live here anytime until I
die, so! You have no right to kick me out of here!”
The niece’s big round
eyes looked at the talker with contempt.
“Then prepare to find a
place to store the bones after death, because your father will only allow you
to stay here until before death but after you die. I can assure you that the
bones will not be kept in this house!” Finished speaking, the frail woman rose
from her chair.
“I am going to work as a
first time mom. Nonn, once you’re done, take him to the office too.” Phonuma’s
daughter excused her mother and ordered quickly in a single sentence and walked
out of the dining room. Leaving Chanonn and Thapakorn to look into each other’s
eyes, too, for fear that a bold statement doesn’t deserve Lalin, causing both
Phonuma and Inthra to wonder.
“You look! Look at Lin,
Phii Phonn! I don’t know when the car crashed, her head hit something! She
revived it to a ghostly mouth screen like this! This is Nephew Win clearly
divided the sector! I can’t eat anymore! I’m going to lie down and think about
it first, how to make sure that after death there is still a place to store
bones!” Inthra shook her head and walked out of the dining room again.
“Tha when you two left
together, Lin like this?” Phonuma turned to ask the young man sitting beside
him in a low voice. Lalin’s disrespectful attitude made her worried and worried
that it might be the result of the accident.
“Uh... I mean... how is
it…
“Well... it’s like
Nephew Win here...” Thapakorn glanced at Chanonn before turning to give the
widow a faint smile.
“Lin is still the same
Lin.”
“Some turn around,
probably because the body hasn’t healed well yet. Aunt Phon, she’s a little
better.” Chanonn relied on his doctorship
to reaffirm Phonuma’s peace of mind, although Phonuma was worried but when the
two young men confirmed that Lalin was still Lalin. She could only let go, this
time she was just worried about whether Sawin would wake up or make her unable
to eat or sleep. If we had to worry about Lalin one more time, she didn’t know
if I could take it anymore.
“Aunt Phon take it easy,
both Lin and Win will get better.” Thapakorn reiterated with a smile of
encouragement.
“Then we will be eyes and
ears again.” Chanonn confirmed as well. The woman sitting at the head of the
table looked at the young man who was his son’s little friend, then smiled
faintly, nodding his head in acknowledgment.
“Thank you very much Nonn
and Tha. Thank you very much.”
…
The workers in the office were all gone when
Thapakorn and Chanonn arrived. Now Sawin’s office is not locked as Manat told
Inthra last evening. In addition, a slender woman walked and picked up a bunch
of files from the file shelf behind a large desk and set it up on a small table
in front of the sofa.
“Hey, you took out so
many files, are you going to give the whole ranch to Tha?” asked Chanonn, eyes
widening but it looks like the person being teased doesn’t enjoy it, because he
immediately glanced at him.”
“If you want to work
here, then you need to know what you need to know and all the files here are
what you need to know. This isn’t a playground, you’ll faint if you just saw
the other files. I recommend that you go back to Bangkok tonight!” After that sentence, the big round eyes glanced
at the tall figure standing behind the young doctor, Chanonn glanced at
Thapakorn. That way just sighed softly but didn’t seem to walk away.
“Okay, get in the same
boat, don’t hit it yet. Come on, is there something I can help you with?”
Chanonn remains the one who solves the situation no matter how old he is. He
walked to push the girl to sit on the sofa, then Thapakorn stepped foot in and
sat on the other sofa. The young doctor looked at the two-people sitting far
apart and sighed deeply.
“Oh! I’ll be watching,
sitting in different corners like this, how do you teach each other?” Chanonn said, letting the two of them know
and then it seemed like both Thapakorn and Sawin were really starting to
realize that besides they were sitting on the sofa. Each of them sits too far
apart to teach each other.
The girl’s big round eyes glanced at
Thapakorn before lowering her gaze to the empty space beside her as a melody
for the other party to move towards him. Instead of himself moving and once
again a tall figure with no mouth to make a sound, he just let out a sigh of
relief and rose from the sofa where he sat on the same sofa as the thin but
fiercer woman.”
Chanonn looked at the one male and one
female sitting in front of him, even though the ‘female’ side was the one who
ordered the male to move closer. But the guy who said it still left the kind of
distance that he could sit comfortably in the middle.
“In the old days, when
Tha taught you homework, did you two fuck faces sit this far apart?” Then a
diligent person who teases and digs up old stories to tease the kind that makes
the person who used to be taught by Thapakorn in frustration with stiff-necked
homework.
“Don’t you have to be on
duty today?” Sawin asked in a firm voice but the young doctor who had been
accustomed to this kind of voice from time immemorial waved his hand.
“No, I’m free all night.”
The bright lips were about to move towards Chanonn but the warmth from the tall
and thick body moved closer, with a booming voice.
“Don’t mess with him, what does he know
about? Let’s talk about work.” Sawin blinked his eyes as he was still stumped
on moving closer to the other party but because Thapakorn seemed to have turned
his attention to the folder. All he could do was pick up a folder and unfold it
and briefly describe the ranch work.
In the room, there was only a sweet voice
but short, concise sentences that sounded continuously. Sometimes there is a
voice of Thapakorn asking questions periodically. Chanonn made no more noise.
He watched as his two best friends, who now seemed to have completely forgotten
the anger they had before.
The young doctor quietly sat in the chair
behind the desk and fell asleep happily.
... If Sawin and Thapakorn were able to go
back to how they were before, a friend like him who had seen that picture since
childhood would have been happier than anyone…
…
Although he is named as one of the two
owners of Warodom ranch, Thapakorn has never been involved in this place, so
today he has to learn all the documents. The young man had to spend a lot of
time, the tutor’s voice was silent as he concentrated on all the documents
about the ranch workers. Realizing that the sound of the person beside him had
disappeared, he turned around and saw that the thin woman had fallen asleep
with her neck folded down.
Even while asleep, Thapakorn felt that the
other party was more Sawin than Lalin. Even if Sawin is the only spirit that
resides in Lalin’s physical body.
The wind from the air conditioner blew back
and forth with the swing of the hinges, and part of the wind fell on the
sleeping figure. I don’t know what to think but the young man got up and went
to grab Sawin’s sweater which was hanging on the railing beside the door and
wrap it up thinly.
“Oh, I want someone to
cover me with some blankets.” A voice came from behind, causing the large hand
that was putting down the coat to cover the sleeping person. Thapakorn turned
to look at the sound and saw that Chanonn, who had fallen asleep earlier, woke
up and smiled brightly at him.
“She is a woman…” He
answered simply, the young doctor lightly laughed. His eyes twinkled and teased
his tall friend.
“Be careful, if he wakes
up to hear it. You’ll be decapitated.” said Chanonn, before getting up,
twisting lazily a few times and walking towards Thapakorn, who had collapsed
and sat in the same place to continue reading the document. Despite being able
to move to another sofa, now that the instructor is already asleep.
“Hey, you haven’t told me
how it went after you visited 3 temples to find holy water?” The person asked,
looking up before sighing to see a cross sign, only that Chanonn laughed one
more time.
“This sigh of yours, did
you endure it or did he endure it?”
“Where did he endure
it?” Thapakorn asked back.
“C’mon, it’s for Lin…” Chanonn hinted, not daring to add Sawin’s
name because they didn’t know that while they went looking for holy water
together How much power Sawin is going to do, seeing Thapakorn quietly seems
like he doesn’t. Not fighting anyone but really taking it in, its patience is
not that great.
He didn’t say anything, only glanced at the
person who was still half-seat, half asleep on the sofa beside him. The look
that Thapakorn looked at the woman’s body, made Chanonn who was looking at him
freeze for a moment.
It’s true that the figure lying here is
Lalin and Lalin and Thapakorn are getting engaged but the person in Lalin’s
body is Sawin. The eyes that Thapakorn looked at. Is he for the owner of the body
or the owner of the soul?
“If I assume... Win is in
Lin’s body and Lin is in Win’s body... Forever, what are you going to do?” The
young doctor questioned as the person was suddenly stumped. Thapakorn glanced
back, there was a silence for about a minute before the tall man lowered his
gaze, looked at the document in his hand and replied in a calm tone.
“Before I can do
anything. He would kill me first and blame the seven temples of holy water for
not working.”
“Even if he kills the
whole world, you will be the only person he can’t kill. Believe me, he hates
you this much. Because he doesn’t want you to come into his life again, try to
be someone else and treat him like this, he will chase him down to the ground.”
Thapakorn was silent, he didn’t know which was better. together. While getting
Sawin to get his revenge on him, or have him hate him like this?
“Tha, I want to ask
directly. If… in the end Win must use Lin’s body forever. What are you going to
do?
“I will find my way here,
Win in Lin’s body can’t do much and the more Lin is in Win’s body the bigger
and better. ranch work is hard work, how can two siblings who swap bodies take
care of the ranch?”
“Does that mean if it
really is, then you will marry Lin’s body with Win in it?” asked Chanonn again,
his eyes fixed on his best friend waiting for an answer. Thapakorn looked up,
his eyes met and replied emotionlessly but his voice was firm, as if he hadn’t
changed his mind a second time.
“Yes, if in the end it
is. I will marry... Win...”
…
... Who will marry you?! You think I’m in
Lin’s body and I’m weak and can’t take care of the ranch work! If I am then I
will marry you for the rest of my life! I’ll show you that even though I’m in
Lin’s body, I’m the same Sawin!
A thin woman walks through the hot sun in
the late afternoon to visit every part of the ranch, including the vegetable
and fruit ranch and the egg ranch. Today’s weather is sweltering but the owner
of the fragile body seems to not care at all, it is Thapakorn who follows after
worrying about the worker ignoring his physical condition.
... Sawin must have forgotten that he was
now using Lalin’s body, a fragile young woman who used to live in an
air-conditioned room, never suffered and never had to endure the heat of the
sun. This was before...
“Oh, put on your hat, the
sun is hot.” Thapakorn took off his cap and handed it to the young woman who
stopped to watch the workers collecting produce, the big round eyes glanced at
him caringly.
“It’s not hot.” The
young man tried to stay calm, he was still holding out his hat but the other
party pretended not to be interested and turned to speak to a thin,
dark-skinned man, almost to the point of scorching.
“Kajon don’t forget to
look at the water dike.” Kajon is the
ranch manager, he is a close friend of Manat who runs the office and because he
has been working here since Amon the father of 2 was alive. Kajon knows Amon’s
son and daughter as well as the Warodom ranch. So, today ‘Lalin’ came down to
look after the ranch by herself this morning. Kajon was surprised and even more
surprised when the words of a young and sweet woman like Sawin’s brother were
not wrong, she also knew something that was not known.
“Khun Lin, did you know
about the dike?” Kajon asked puzzledly. The woman was silent for a bit before
pretending to be stern.
“Phii Win used to tell me
about it, I have sent people to look at it, I just finished fixing it and I
don’t know how much water can be blocked.”
“Did you know about
fixing the dike too?” Kajon asked, another suspicious look on his face. until
Thapakorn, who was standing not far away, had to move in and invite him to
change the subject.
“I think we shouldn’t
talk in the sun like this, Khun Lin’s face is so red. Probably allergic to the
hot weather.” He said, nodding at her reddish sweet face and sweat dripping
down her hair, if the real Lalin had seen herself at this time. Thapakorn
definitely believes that a neat woman would scream at her brother for putting
her body up like this.
“I said it wasn’t hot!”
The woman argued abruptly, Thapakorn turned to look at him with solemn eyes.
“Lin, it's hot.” he
repeated the name ‘Lin’ in a dark
scratchy tone. The person in the body of ‘Lin’ gritted his teeth, his heart not
wanting to admit it. I also wanted to give the other party a message that when
he was still ‘Sawin’, he walked around the ranch twice a day, without fear in
the scorching heat of summer.
“Uh... I think... Khun
Lin’s face is really red as Khun Tha said. If so, should Khun Lin go back and
wait at the office, I’ll have Natt send a car to pick you up?” Kajon was like a
‘Sawin’ scissors at that moment, at first, he was going to walk in the sun but
when Kajon suggested not to get into his ears, the big eyes flickered to look
at the ranch manager.
“No! If you go back to
the office, you go back!” And then the
skinny figure turned and walked away to look at the ranch, Thapakorn looked
after him and sighed before turning to Kajon, who had been stunned since he had
known the 2 siblings, Sawin and Lalin. He had never seen a dog-like version of
Lalin before.
“At eleven o’clock, you
send the driver to pick me up. I’ll take Lin home for dinner first.”
“Yes, Khun Tha... Uh...
Khun Lin... Is she mad at me?” Kajon had never seen Lalin like this, although
he was familiar with Sawin’s mad dog temperament but when he met Lalin who he
had seen as a small Sawin, the ranch manager became uneasy.”
“No, it’s just an
annoyance. You keep on working. I’ll see her for myself.” Thapakorn couldn’t
say a word and shouts from the workers rang out.
“help! Khun Lin fainted!
help!”
and then a second later
Kajon hurriedly called a car to pick up Lalin urgently, this time there was no
sign of the girl’s swing at all, because she was already unconscious.
…
The sound of chattering
sounded in his ears, making him feel deaf and wanting to turn away but because
his body was all heavy. The only thing he could do was lift his eyelids
slightly to look for the source of the sound.
“How are you Lalin?”
Before his eyelids were fully opened, a teasing question rang out from the
person sitting closest to him. His brows furrowed in frustration before trying
to open his eyelids again, this time it was successful, because the white
ceiling floating prominently in front of him was visible.
“Oh! Are you going to
get up?” Chanonn, who was sitting closest helped to support the person who was
pretending to sit up, was afraid that the newly awakened person would become
even more irritated. So, he had to go in and help but didn’t hesitate to ask
questions.
“What happened?” asked
the girl, closing her eyes again because her head was dizzy.
“What happened? Well,
you fainted.” Thapakorn, who was standing on the other side, was the one who answered
the question instead and that made the people dizzy to look up obviously.
“What?! fainted?! I
fainted!” Because he had almost never
been sick in his life. Fainting is an impossible thing to happen in the life of
‘Sawin’. So, it’s normal to be shocked.
“Quietly, you think when
you talk to me like this. What do other people in the house hear? You are Lin
now.” Chanonn twitched his friend’s arm
and looked around, fortunately Auntie Saman was busy in the kitchen ordering
her servants to cook soft food for the faint of heart. Inthra visited Sawin at
the hospital with Phonuma. The two of them were returning when Kajon called to
say ‘Lalin’ fainted in the middle of the field.
“Did I really faint?!”
The girl turned and asked again to her best friend who is a doctor, although
this time the voice was a bit softer but still couldn’t speak politely like
Lalin.
“That’s right! I stopped
by when I saw the workers chatting about Khun Lalin that Khun Lalin fainted in
the middle of the ranch. So, let’s borrow it and talk to Tha to give him first
aid first and bring him back here. You should know Win, that Lin’s body is not
as strong as yours. How can you use rigors like you use your body?” Chanonn
insulted, he would sometimes insult Sawin for being like this but if not
insulting. He also thought that Sawin wouldn’t listen to anyone and would
probably use Lalin’s body as it used to but Lalin’s body would never get used
to. Men and women are not the same, especially physically.
When being insulted by a
friend like Chanonn It seemed that the young woman had weakened. Thapakorn saw
it and thought of it. when he told me to wear a hat told to hide in the shade I
don’t see how it sounds like this.
“After only working in
the office, if you go out to check the ranch you must come back in before 8AM
or go out after four o’clock when the sun is not strong and you must not go out
alone.” he ordered and that’s all. The person who was weak to Chanonn
immediately looked up at Thapakorn with displeasure. But before the girl could
say anything, the tall figure leaned in closer.
“Now the boss of the
ranch is named Thapakorn, do you understand Lalin?” He emphasized that this time ‘Sawin’ has no power in the ranch anymore
and ‘Sawin’ in Lalin’s body must listen to his orders.
“Nonn, you are watching
him. Today, don’t let him go anywhere else.” said Thapakorn before turning
around and walking out of the living room. Chanonn got up and followed quickly.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to Bangkok, I
have to go back and deal with it. I’ll be back in the evening, watch him too,
don’t let him cause trouble. I’m going to hurry back.” Chanonn could only nod
his head, staring at him until his best friend walked out of the house, then
went back into the living room again and when he appeared. The girl who was
half-sitting on the sofa immediately sued.
“You look at him! Who
does he think he is? Order you to come and see me!” The young doctor who had
been in the middle sighed softly as he walked over and sat nearby.
“I think I understand his
idea. He didn’t think he was bigger than you but he was just worried about
you.” Chanonn’s frank words made the person sound stunned, the big eyes that
had suddenly gleamed sternly, paused for a moment. that the young woman will turn
her head away in the other direction.
“Don’t talk like you
know well. He and I hate each other, and haven't looked at each other for 7
years. How could he be worried about me?
“The one who hates is
you, the one who didn’t look at his face for 7 years is you Win.” said Chanonn,
he watched the girl’s expression seem shocked by this fact but ‘Sawin’ was
still. It’s ‘Sawin’ who doesn’t accept the truth.
“Then he must be worried
about Lin’s body that I am using.”
“Say it with envy or do
you want Tha to worry about your body? Ouch!” As a result of speaking
inappropriately, he was slapped by a cushion once in his mouth. Plus, with
insulting words that don’t fit the beautiful and sweet face of a young woman.
“Say it.” Chanonn
laughed softly and pretended to raise his eyebrows, eyes widening, not afraid
of the cushioning power of the curse a moment ago.
“I just ask, if one day
Tha cares about your whole body Worried about your whole soul, will you accept
that day?” The big eyes stared at him earnestly.
“You bast-...” The mouth was not finished cursing, the
young doctor’s large hand quickly grabbed the bright-colored lips. Just as
Auntie Saman appeared in the room and saw the woman sit up and immediately
jumped in and asked with concern.
“Khun Lin, are you awake?
How are you? Oh, I’m really worried.” The
newly awakened person had to turn around to smile instead of saying that it was
okay but the worried person kept turning Lalin’s face left and right to find
out what could be. Worried again? That cuts off the chance that people with
itchy mouths want to insult Chanonn but keep cursing in order to wait for the
account. As for those who were not insulted, they kept smiling. Whistling in a
good mood after leaving the last question to ‘Sawin’, I put it to bed and
thought for fun.
‘... If one day Tha cares about your whole
body, cares about your soul, will you accept that day?’
…regardless of this life, the next life. I
will never admit it!
…
Thapakorn returned to Bangkok to resolve the
outstanding work and agreed with the supervisor that he would find time to
check the paperwork again before this month’s general meeting. Then he left
Bangkok that evening to return to Chonburi. Although the distance is not very
far but because he got up early to work in the field Nham also hit the bus back
and forth between Bangkok and Chonburi on the same day. I was exhausted but
when I parked in front of the house and saw Auntie Saman who snitched, ‘Khun
Lalin’ had been dabbling in the office since she woke up, it made the young man
want to hit that stubborn man.
... Keep telling Nonn to keep an eye on him
and not let him go out! What is this?! If you can’t go out to the ranch, then
go to the office?! Has he ever heard of the word rest?!
The tall man got back in the car and drove
out to the office at the front of the Warodom ranch. He’d probably first
noticed that as he drove past a three-story building, the ground floor opened
as a fusion restaurant using ingredients sourced from Warodom farms, which
still had sparse customers but the second and third floors were offices that
were off work at 5 p.m. It’s cold and there shouldn’t be any light coming out
of the window like that.
He parked the car in front of the
restaurant, opened the door and hurriedly went straight into the restaurant
through the back and went up the stairs to the 2nd floor. The staff here knew
him all and knew that he had come to work instead. Sawin is still recovering in
the hospital. So, everyone let him go up to the second floor without
protesting.
When he reached the
second floor, he found that besides Lalin being here, the office manager like
Manat was still working day and night as well.
“Oh! Khun Tha.” Manat
looked up and saw Thapakorn who had a sullen expression first and that caused
the thin woman to turn to look at him.
“I told you to stay at
home, don’t go out. Why did you come here?” When the two pairs of eyes met,
Thapakorn immediately asked a question in a dark tone. Manat swallowed his
saliva, feeling the atmosphere was going to blow up, he felt as shrunken as a
stick of ice cream.
“A pile of work waiting,
how can I stay at home with your paws wiggling?!” The word ‘wiggle paws’, made Manat who was trying to shrink to the
point where he could barely look at the talker, because in his whole life that
he had known ‘Lalin’ ‘Wiggle’ is probably the most disrespectful word for this
girl had ever said, then why suddenly? Lalin, who is such a polite, neat, sweet
person that the word ‘paw’ comes out of her mouth?!
“Where did Nonn go?”
“Do not know! I’m not his
husband!” In fact, he knew, Chanonn had a
case that suddenly came in and had to hurry up but just messed around and said
he didn’t know.
And this young woman’s tumultuous words this
time, made Manat freeze even more than he saw the word ‘wiggle’. in a serious
way.
“What are you looking
at?!”
“N... No... Nothing.”
Manat wanted to tell his heart that he looked at Khun Lalin who didn’t deserve
Khun Lalin but was afraid that this version of Khun Lalin might transform and
eat him first.
“You can go back and from
now on, if anyone other than me or ‘Win’ orders, you must not work more than 5
o’clock!” Thapakorn saw Manat’s shocked
expression and hurriedly drove the other person back home. Manat glanced at the
girl at one point but the other party kept biting his lip, a tall figure with a
look of resentment. So, he decided to ask for a donkey and grabbed his
belongings and flew off the second floor but before he was out of sight. Manat
turned around and saw that Thapakorn had pulled Lalin’s missing arm into
Sawin’s office.
... Weird... Really weird... Strange both of
Lalin’s appearance that doesn’t match the girl he saw when he was little and
the way Thapakorn treated Lalin. Even though he hasn’t been here in the past 7
years, Manat still remembers that Thapakorn was a gentleman and gentle to
Sawin’s sister like a little princess…
...already... People who have always treated
each other well, why today it seems like they’ve been arguing for years…
... Yes, he is not like Thapakorn and Lalin
but more like Thapakorn and Sawin…
Manat was shocked for a moment and shook his
head as if it was impossible. Lalin is Lalin and Sawin is still lying in the
hospital. He must have worked too much to think that the picture just now
resembles Thapakorn and Sawin. Even though Lalin is with them now.
…
“Ouch! Let me go!”
Thapakorn followed the person’s whining as soon as he opened the door before he
turned his gaze to the girl who was staring at him angrily.
“Did you know who you
are now? You’re working in the dark at night with two men.”
“That’s Manat!”
“Isn’t Manat a man?! How
can you talk like Lin again? You want the whole field to know that you’re not
Lin?! And if the whole ranch knows, your mother must know. Would you like to
see your mother worry more, Win!” The young man insulted in both his voice and
harsh eyes and this time it seemed that the insulted realized at that moment
that he shouldn’t behave like ‘Sawin’. Even though he was still in the body of
‘Lalin’.
The woman closed her eyes
and breathed heavily in her chest, forcing herself to act like everyone else
was not something Sawin was good at. Thapakorn saw that the other party was not
as stubborn and arguing as usual, enough to ease some. He also let out a strong
breath before speaking in a voice that was much calmer than before.
“How are you? Are you
still dizzy?” The big round eyes glanced at him unexpectedly, the question of
Chanonn that had left him irritated as the day dawned again in his brain.
‘... If one day Tha cares about
your whole body, cares about your soul, will you accept that day?’
“If... if you mean Lin’s
body, then... that’s fine.” Sawin replied
as if profoundly. Thapakorn looked at the speaker, moved his mouth to ask more
questions but decided to give a soft answer, causing the people waiting for
other questions to feel annoyed when the tall figure in front of him got an
answer on the matter. ‘Lin’s body’ and did not ask questions about ‘Other
matter.’
...
The only thing he was worried about was Lin’s body, nothing else…
The woman pursed her lips tightly before
turning to walk out of the office but a deep voice sounded behind her.
“Win…” The owner named
‘Sawin’ turned to look and raised his eyebrows instead of questioning, the two
pairs of eyes met. This time he didn’t have the anger or resentment as before,
the man’s eyes. Young as if insecure. As the girl’s eyes waited... Something...
“Shall we go for a
ride?” The big round eyes flashed in confusion and did not understand. It’s the
kind of eyes that Thapakorn thinks of loving the owner of his eyes like
‘Sawin’.
“Let’s go for a ride.” This sentence of the young man was not a
question. He sounded like an invitation as it made people feel dizzy and maybe
because of something. Finally an employee in the restaurant downstairs of the
office saw ‘Lalin’ following behind Thapakorn to the car before the two of them
will go out together, without anyone knowing where their aim of destination is.
…
There was not a single word said in the car, Sawin began to feel that
he was too gullible to come ‘for a ride’ with Thapakorn. Two people like this,
big eyes glanced at the driver who seemed to be in a good mood disbelievingly
before glancing at the two sides of the road that was quite busy, because it
was the line that went straight into Pattaya.
“What’s wrong? Sit
quietly, do you think you’re going to be sold?” The driver glanced at him and
asked teasingly, with a slight smile on his lips.
“Thinking about being
taken to kill?” The person beside him immediately turned around and replied,
Thapakorn laughed in a good mood. Sawin is still Sawin all day. Even if he
agrees to come with him, it’s not that he’s calm in a folded cloth.
“While taking him to
kill and taking him to wrestling, the latter is much more interesting.” And
only then the person who was listening turned his surprised look.
“Are you going to take me
to wrestling?!”
“Oh, that’s right, we
can do it outdoors too, okay?” He didn’t
deny it, he even turned his car into a park on the edge of the footpath. Next
to the footpath was a sandy beach and a dark sea, where the lights of ink boats
were scattered in the distance. The beach is not crowded at this time. Even if
it is Pattaya which is a night city.
Thapakorn turned to look at the person
beside him who seemed to be shocked, angry until he stiffened. He laughed
softly and shook his head hard.
“Your face looks like
you’ve seen a ghost.” People who are
afraid of ghosts go up in their heads and make their eyes go wild.
“Who talks about ghosts
in the middle of the night!”
“Oh yeah. I’m sorry, I
was just kidding.” Thapakorn raised his hands over his shoulder as a sign that
he gave up, because he argued about ghosts with people who are afraid of ghosts
like Sawin, the next life will never end.
“What are you joking
about?!” A large hand suddenly covered his mouth.
“Tell me to talk like
Lin. Has Lin ever said the word kidding?” A small hand pulled down the hand
that covered her mouth, the big round eyes still stared angrily.
“I know!”
“Me too, representing
myself Lin.” The young man ordered and of course the stubborn would glare at
him and would not obey.
“I am with you, just the
two of us, why do I have to make myself look like Lin!” Thapakorn was silent, he looked at the speaker with gentle eyes. The
hand that was still resting on the girl’s head was not crushed as hard as
before. He just gently caressed it as if giving encouragement.
... A man who is suddenly destined to play a
joke to use his sister’s body, must learn things that he never thought he had
to know, must do things that he never thought he had to do, must hide the
truth, must bear all the burdens to carry... If only for a moment the man could
be himself. Thapakorn was ready to spend a moment with that version of him. In
order for Sawin to become Sawin as he used to...
“I have never seen you as
Lin. What I saw... It’s you always...”
The eyes of both of them met in the silence
of the car before Sawin, who averted his gaze, turned to the other side and
turned to open the car door and waited outside in no time, the round eyes
glanced over back in Saw Thapakorn disembarking from the driver’s side but even
so, his heart still moved with a strange rhythm.
... The atmosphere just now... The
atmosphere between him and Thapakorn just now...
... Why does his heart tremble so much…
