After hanging up on Mac, he answered a text from a friend who hadn't returned in a while. Then he got up to go back to his friends in front of the house.
All at once!
The force of the hug from behind made him stop for a bit before turning to look in the direction and when he knew who it was he immediately furrowed his brows before violently yanking the arm that was restraining him along with turning to look with an expression tight As for the young man who embraced him, he is still standing and smiling sweetly
-What are you going to do? Nan asked in a calm voice.
The young man walked towards him as he raised his hand to rest lightly on his strong chest and watched with seductive eyes
-Your boyfriend doesn't live with you. You are not alone? Deer asked in a pleading voice.
- Does my face look so lonely? Nan asked in a calm voice.
The other party didn't seem to know he was angry.
-You look alone. ...if you are alone I can help you relieve your loneliness. I guarantee your friend won't know about it, Deer said, moving his hand. slowly from the strong chest down to the abdomen.
-PT, how about Yak? he pretended to ask back.
The young man smiled slightly.
-P'Yak was the one who suggested I come to help your loneliness. He also said if you want to try in 3 he won't mind, Dear said, making a small smile twitch at the corners of his mouth.
Because he really didn't look at Deer wrong... that this young man was as strong as he thought, he was actually secretly annoyed at his friend for letting Deer invite him to wander like that.
-That damn Yak dares do that again?" came Fong's strained voice.
Because she was about to go to the bathroom. and he had heard what Deer had said
- He knows you have a wife. Damn this bastard has to meet me, Fong said angrily before turning and drinking.
Nan then turned to Deer again before placing her index finger on Deer's forehead to pull him away from him.
-I'm sorry I used my finger to prick you. I just don't want to touch that dirty thing. Thank you for wanting to help ease the loneliness..... But look at you.. Nan said as she looked at Deer from head to toe with disdain before holding up the hand that had her name on it of Mac tattooed on her with all five fingers outstretched
-It will probably be better if I use this hand to help me.
After saying this, he immediately and left Deer behind. Because now he had to go see his friends and he arrives just in time when the cheers and excitement of his friends have become stronger. It seems that now the friends are helping each other to stop Fong from hitting Yak again because Fong already threw a punch and Yak didn't fight back.
Yak was now wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
-Damn it, what's going on? Do you have any respect for that guy? shouted Sage.. Because he doesn't know the cause.
Many people were shocked in turn.
-Don't worry, feel free. I'll punch you again, Nan said, walking over and smiling at the group of friends.
Yak himself had a smile on his face when I found out. Nan was annoyed with Yak in some ways but he also knew the other's nature very well. Yak is like that..... He is full of mischief and likes to mess with his friends like Palm.
-What happened? Sage asked curiously. Because he was the one who went in to stop his friends too.
"Ask him," Fong said sternly as he looked at Yak with displeasure for coming to break up his friend's family.
-I just wanted to test that guy's heart..to see if he's serious about his wife or not That's all, Yak said, shaking his shoulders slightly.
- You put your heart to the test by putting that kid to help ease his loneliness. So what the hell are you thinking? You do not see? How much does this bastard love his wife? Fong shouted again making his friends turn and look at Yak sadly
In fact, friends already know Yak's personality
-Oh, I'm so far away. I thought he wanted to be released somehow, but look at this behavior...so he's probably not interested in the offer.
Yak answered in an irritated voice and then turned and said a joke at the end.
-Heh heh, I already told you that he loves his wife to death. He didn't believe it anymore...I was already trained by him, Palm said laughing.
- So I went to sit and drink alcohol to calm down, Fong. Thank you very much for being upset on my behalf. I'll take care of it. Nan came over and patted Fong on the shoulder.
-Hey, you're mad as if you were that bastard's wife, Yak said teasingly to Fong.
He made Fong move towards Yak again but his friends stopped him. In fact, or hit each other before. Anyway, Fong couldn't fight Yak because he is bigger and also Yak is a professional boxer. But everyone knew that Yak never answered Fong they were fighting since school days.
-Whose wife.....You really can't be trusted? I'm good to you because I thought you'd never do something like this again But you still do, Fong said, angry because he and Yak had had a falling out when they were at school.
-Can you just shut up first, Yak? Sage said weakly.
Yak then raised both hands in a surrender gesture.
-I'm going to smoke a cigarette. Do you want to go with me? Nan said to Yak as she nodded towards the garden next to the house. Yak nodded.
-I would like to send the child back first, Yak said before walking towards Deer.
They talked briefly, then Yak called a taxi to come pick up Deer. When Deer was dropped off, he got into the car. Yak returned to Nan and they walked to the garden near the house. Then he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Yak then lit the lighter, which was an excuse for both of them.
- Do you know well? What do you mean I don't care about your baby? Nan asked
-Hm, answered Yak, lighting a cigarette.
-You just want to get Fong's attention? asked Nan knowingly.
Yak laughed softly in his throat.
-You stupidly want to get his attention.... Try to make him angry and hate you again. Even though he just spanked your ass.. Nan said again.
-I am a person, as my hands told me, said Yak looking at the koi pond in front of him.
- It's good that my wife is not here. She doesn't know what to do, Nan complained.
-Oh, I'm sorry, but your wife is very interesting. I think if you agree to take my child I would have a chance to trade him with your wife, Yak said with a smile.
Before you get hit hard until it wobbles to the other side. But Yak wasn't angry, instead he laughed
"Take care of your own problems first before you trouble my family," Nan said
-Come on, replied Yak.
The two stood up and talked a little more about general matters before returning to join their friends and continue to socialize together holding the bubble chair.
(-Your friend annoys me) Mac said angrily.
After calling before going to bed and Nsn straight up telling him the story of what happened. This made Mac angry at his friend for being so honest. But when you know the reason there the irritation is reduced somewhat. But it bothers him that he is angry.
- It was just a prank. Don't be mad at him, Nan said with a smile.
Now he was already lying on the bed with his shirt off ready for bed
(-Dude, is there anyone else like this? Besides Palm and that guy named Yak.) Mac asked.
- That's it, Nan replied with a gentle laugh.
When he sees the gratifying face of his lover .
-(So is anyone in the house now?) Mac asked as he remembered.
"I'm Jak, Fong, Yak and Keith," Nan answered, and Mac nodded.
(Then let's go to bed. I have to get ready in the morning.) Mac said.
(Um, I'll call you later.) Nan said and when he finished saying goodbye he hung up the phone along with going to bed to gather energy for the merit ceremony and tent opening.
Even though he fell asleep after midnight, at 5 o'clock he suddenly woke up to prepare for the event. Including his friends and subordinates, they all helped one by one. There are no hangover symptoms at all. When he got things ready at home everyone helped carry things into tents and cars.
Now Day's share and the older relatives were gradually coming. The Chinese table to be set for the royal banquet and the people who came to the event came to prepare, he didn't think to call Mac right now because they are busy.
Then he had the grandparents and uncle sit and wait in the office with Mac's father. He took pictures of the friends, brothers and sisters who came to help and sent them to Mac via Line and said he would call him in a while. Mac, who was waiting, agreed.
- Is everything ready? Day came in and asked.
-Yes sir, nothing else. I can't wait for the monk to come, replied Nan, looking around.
- Thank you very much, sir. that you came to help me with my work, he said to Day who was sitting next to him smiling.
- Just a little, answered Day
- Did you call that guy named Mac?
He came in and asked another person. After giving water to the adults waiting in the office.
-Not yet, I'll call him in a while. But you, sit and rest a little, your arm is still hurt, right? This was said because Brick himself had just been released from the hospital shortly after he was shot.
- I am the Iron Man, he replied smiling.
Day looked weakly at his lover's face, then laughed and laughed. Soon, a monk from the temple he had contacted arrived. They all came to sit in their positions to listen to the monks chanting. Nan immediately called Mac.
(-Is the monk here?) Mac quickly asked as he answered the call.
-Yes, let's listen to the Buddha together, Nan replied, taking the mobile stand and placing it next to where he was sitting.
He then pans the screen to the monk so that it looks like Mac himself is sitting, bowing and listening to the monk. And when it's time they started to pray because this ceremony is auspicious, according to beliefs Thais, when you open a business.
Everyone fell silent to listen to the Buddha. Mac himself was listening intently to the monk in the room. Until the first prayer where they first have to eat lunch and pour water together.
-Listen to the chanting of the monks in real time? asked a monk.
When he saw the mobile phone and another young man on the screen, many of those who heard him smiled a little. Including Mac.
-Yes, my boyfriend just left to study abroad. He couldn't come back to make merit so we have to use the video calling method, Nan replied politely and the monk smiled.
-(Charoen Phon Na Yom) Being far from home, far from the city, he must be quite homesick, said the old monk.
(-And)
Mac answered because he knew that the monk was talking to him. And then the table gifts began. and let the monks eat together first. Then he picked up the mobile phone to see Mac's father and let him talk. As for Nan she went to look at a few other things. Mac's father then gave the cell phone to his grandparents who also spoke to Mac until the monk finished eating he would go into offering nutrients, pouring water to receive blessings
(-Nan, how do I do it?) Mac asked.
-Go get a bottle of water. Then have a drink, Nan said as she instructed Mac what to do. Should the water be poured until the singing period? And Mac can do it as he is taught until the time the monk returns. Looking at Mac on his cell phone, he saw that Mac came out of the house and poured water from a glass under a tree. On Mac's side, it was during the night.
(-If the neighbors saw this, they would be confused why I came to water the plants at night. Besides, I only poured a glass of water.) Mac said this jokingly and did the same.
(-What are you going to do now?) Mac asked after walking back into the house.
-I will only feed the people who came to help me work. After that, I will pack my things and go home. In the evening there will be another celebration at home with the elders. Nan answered.
(-Are you tired?) Mac asked because doing merit for the monks this time requires a lot of preparation.
-A little, but there are many people who help. So it's a little easier, was the honest answer. Because he was helped by Senior and junior friends.
(I should have stayed and helped you') Mac said regretfully.
-It's good to go back to school. It'll be over quickly, Nan replied, and Mac smiled a little.
(-So who's here?) Mac asked as he briefly saw someone walk past the cell phone screen.
-Many people, Dew and Sam. They also arrived brother Nueng and a child named An. Nan spoke before seeing Ohm standing behind Mac
(But Two?) Ohm asked about Two.
I didn't come, but I called to congratulate him, Nan replied.
(Where did he go? Why didn't you come to the event?) Ohm asked next.
-If you ask like that, can't you contact him? Nan asked with a smile.
(Oh..never mind I have work, I have to talk to the teacher. I'll take the plane back and talk about it) Ohm complained again.
Calm down, he went to work outside of Phuket and couldn't come, Nan replied and Ohm sighed lightly.
(You can continue talking to Mac) Ohm said when he saw him interrupt the conversation with his two friends.
Before Ohm left.
(-Since I've been back he's always seemed tense) Mac said this after Ohm left.
-It will be better soon, Nan replied because she thought it was a matter of the two people. He probably won't be able to interfere much.
-Come, I'll go greet the others, Nan said before raising the mobile phone again to his friends, brothers and elders.
Mac spoke and greeted the people he knew and had been around for a while.
- Have you eaten yet? Mac's father asked.
- I had breakfast, answered Nan.
(-You can go eat first. It's almost noon here. That's why I got up early in the morning, isn't it?) Mac said.
-Um, well, so I can sleep too. I must have been there very late. Keep calling me back when you wake up, Nan replied, and hung up.
Nan walked over and sat down at the same table as Day.
-Eat some food, Day handed me a bowl and a spoon.
Then he took the food and ate it while talking to everyone. Until the work was finished, the elders went their separate ways. After giving gifts to each other, only a group of young people remained to help collect things and clean the various places.
-Who will stay tonight? he asked his friend.
After returning home before concluding that the only people left were Keith, Sage and Kob. As for Jak, Fong, Yak, Palm and the others, they had to disperse first. That's why I thank the friends who came to help with this period. As for Nan, she's back to getting the place ready for another evening of celebration.
Time passes and Mac is back again in Thailand on New Year's Day. He lived there normally and on New Year's Day Mac had met with Kheit his people. Mac only stayed in Thailand for a few days after the New Year. I had to go back to school at the last minute because Mac is about to graduate in a few months.
Nan after Mac flew back to school started letting people in and adjusting the way. he will immediately build a house for Mac's father, just as he told Mac's father on New Year's Day that he will build a house for him as a New Year's gift and move in after Мас graduation.
(What are you doing now?) Mac asked this when he video called to talk as usual.
- Tomorrow the technician will come and start building. The building materials have already arrived and prepared, Nan replied
(What does he think, Dad?) Mac asked, smiling, eager to see his father's reaction.
Although he is building his date house this was going to be a tough decision, most of the money was going to be money that was earned by Nan but Mac was secretly quite proud of his lover.
-Dad came yesterday. I saw him walking and smiling, Nan replied thinking of her boyfriend's father who came to look at the road yesterday.
He was sure Mac's father was happy with the build this time. Even though construction hadn't officially started yet, Mac smiled when he heard it
(Oh...I talked to my dad and on graduation day even if you and my dad want to come I don't think I will accept it. It's better you stay in Thailand so you won't have to pay for the plane ticket that it's expensive, better use the money to build a house, right?) Mac answered because he wanted to reduce expenses for his boyfriend.
-It's fine if dad and I don't come...but wouldn't it be better for you to stay with your friends at graduation? As a final note it is not a waste of time anyway.
Nan answered because the graduation ceremony in America is different from Thailand.
(Do you think so? Hmm..... Actually Ohm invited me... to accept So I'll stay with Ohm and then go back to Thailand.) Mac said.
-Um, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why can't I wait a little longer? Nan said smiling.
(And how is the tent?)
Mac asks about the car tent business. Now the ownership has been transferred to Mac and Nan is the person who has to look after it now.
-Okay, I think I'll go to the car tent. And in the afternoon I will auction several cars. If I get anything I'll let you know, Nan said because she always reports to Mac. And then every month as well, it will send the results for that month to Mac to see by graph how many cars he sold and received. What income and expenses do you have?
(Um, so the employees weren't in trouble, were they?) Mac continued to ask.
-No, if anyone has a problem, I'll take care of it, don't worry, was the answer, and Mac calmly nodded because he knew it was a good deal.
The two talked for a while and then hung up. because Nan went into the car tent
,-Hello, sir, a male salesman greeted him when he saw him walking towards the office.
-How's your diarrhea, P'Kai? greets the same male employee in a friendly manner.
The other party was older than him, but Nan talks friendly to all the employees, but when it's time to be serious everyone was quite attentive to it.
-It got better. I almost crawled out of the bathroom yesterday, answered the employee named Kai.
Because yesterday he suddenly took leave from work due to diarrhea, which meant nothing. Because the other party will bring a medical certificate to prove it.
- Be careful what you eat, replied Nan before entering the office.
-Hello, hello sir.
A female clerk's voice rang out in the office room as they saw him approach.
-Hello, Nan replied before looking around because she didn't see another employee who was also supposed to be in this room.
-Where did he go? Nan asked in a normal tone.
The other two employees looked at each other.
-Uh, I haven't come to work yet. I already called you but no one answered the phone answered the female employee.
Nan raised a few eyebrows. At that moment, the person you just ceruse ran and opened the door before there was a shocked look on his face when he saw her. Then he immediately bowed his head and nodded.
-Khun Nan, I'm sorry. I came to work late, said a young woman named Taeng in a slightly breathless voice.
Nan looks at her watch and sees that it is almost 11 am.
-Let's just go talk to my office, was the answer.
He did not intend to scold the young woman in front of others because he wanted to secretly ask the reason for the delay this time and immediately entered his office.
In the office there is a glass room, but there is a curtain to hide the view. He stood there and waited a bit before Taeng knocked on the door before he opened it and entered with a silver expression on his face.
-Sit first, Nan said before Taeng sat down and immediately raised his hand to greet Nan.
- I apologize to Mr. Nan. The team came looking for a model job. It just so happened that... Tang was about to find an explanation.
But Nan saw the mark on Taeng's cheek first. At first he didn't notice it because the morning sun enters the office and his hair blocks it.
-What happened to your face? Nan asked in a serious tone.
This made Taeng flinch and he immediately raised his hand to touch the spot
- Well, I entered through the door, answered Taeng, bowing his head slightly. He didn't dare look into those eyes. Because every employee knows that Nan was a person who was really good at catching suspicious people. No matter who he is, no matter if he is stressed, sad, happy or having trouble thinking about something. He will ask him immediately when he sees something suspicious.
- I will ask you differently, Sister Taeng. Would a person walk into a door so hard it would hurt? Nan asked before looking at the person's body.
"Take off your coat," Nan said again.
Because Taeng was wearing a long-sleeved cardigan. The girl pursed her lips slightly before removing her outer robe. making him frown immediately. Because there were quite a few bruises and scratches on Tang's arms.
-What happened? Please tell me. Do not be afraid. You work with me if I can help you with anything I will, Nan said in a serious tone.
Before Taeng with tears in his eyes started to tell him everything that happened. Nan tensed when he heard and called Tan and his other 4 underlings to come to the office. Soon they arrived and were a little surprised because they did not know the reason why they were called.
-What's going on, sir? Tan asked immediately.
-Wait, guys. Take P'Taeng home and help her pack her necessary items. If someone blocks you, just step on them, Nan said in a calm voice.
- Wait, that's you. Why do you want me to go back and pack? Taeng asked in a small voice.
- I'll let P'Taeng take the baby and move into my house. I have a free house. You can take your child to sit there. I can assure you it is safe. No one will do anything to you. As for your son you may take him to work, replied Nan.
Taeng pursed his lips a little hesitantly.
-You might feel that I am a bit like tying you down... But I want you to think carefully. How long are you going to put up with this? And if one day your son gets hit or he makes you worse....What are you going to do? I think it's better to start over. From what I've told you, you're no different from any other single mother....rather than having a husband like that, you'd be better off not having one at all, Nan said again.
His subordinates stood and listened quietly.
-You don't think I'm lying, do you? Taeng asked.
- Then you think you can lie to someone like me? Nan asked again.
Taeng was a little quiet because she knew she definitely couldn't lie.
- And if I come to stay with you, Mr. Mac, won't it bother him? Tang asked, afraid that Mac would misunderstand her. If she will let Nan be taken care of.
Nan is still not responding to anything. He immediately took out his cell phone and called Mac.
(What happens?)
Mac answered the phone Nan tells Mac about Taeng. Besides telling your loved one what you've decided. Because Taeng lives with her husband, who is addicted to drugs and always beats her. His relatives are in another province than the house you live in is his husband's house. Mother-in-law doesn't like her either. So he was always patient. Until she became pregnant and had just given birth 8 months ago. When she was pregnant, she was always hit. It's good that she didn't have a miscarriage.
As for the event that caused him to come to work late, it's because when Taeng was getting ready to take the baby to a nearby neighbor who helps her take care of him while she comes to work, because her mother-in-law doesn't want her help Then her baby suddenly started crying and this woke up her husband who was just sleeping. He got up and shouted and made a move to hit the baby but Taeng blocked him. So there were many fights and when Taeng managed to get the child out of the house, it was already too late, so Taeng hurriedly left the child with the neighbor and hurried to work
(Nan ask Taeng to let you take her to the hospital. Get a medical certificate on bodily injuries then go and record the day and then bring her to our house, I don't mind, Mac replied in a serious voice, like to be heard by everyone, so the loudspeaker was on.
Taeng cries again as she realizes Nan and Mac's kindness to her and her child.
- Thank you, Mr. Mas. Thanks, I promise I won't bother you for long. I need some time to settle, Ugh! Taeng said in a plaintive voice, raising his hands in greeting.
So Nan told Tan to take Taeng and his underlings and do as he said. I couldn't go with him because he had to bid on a car today.
-You feel good, Why did I make this decision? Nan asked the boyfriend who was still on the line.
(I know it's not wrong to look at people and she made a good decision that can help others... If it's not above your weight and you can help why not Also, I feel sorry for her child) Mac said making him smile happily.
