Part 1

Mansion House in Bangkok

Dan and Beam were playing with their new remote control car in front of their house. Their father just got back from overseas so he bought them a new set of remote control car for each of them. Then their sister Bua came out from the house with her new doll walking towards her brothers.

Bua: P’Beam ka… can you help me get my other toy set on top of the cupboard in my room?

Bua asked her eldest brother while pulling his shirt. Beam was annoyed as he was busily playing his remote control car.

Beam: Ask P’Dan to do it. Mum or dad.

Beam said in a calm tone still concentrating on his control car. Bua gave a sighed. She walked towards her other brother who was on the other side also playing his remote control car.

Bua: P’Dan ka…can you help me get my other toy set on top of the cupboard in my room?

Dan was also annoyed.

Dan: Bua...Asked P’Beam to do it.

Bua: But he told me to ask you…

Dan: I’m busy. Ask mum or dad to do it.

Bua: But mum and dad are busy talking. I don’t want to disturb them.

Dan: So you think you’re not disturbing me?

Dan said in a tone which kind of hurt Bua’s feeling. Bua’s face turned sad. Dan stopped his remote
control car and turned to his sister. Dan can’t stand seeing his sister sad. That was one of his weaknesses.

Dan: [sigh] alright. I’ll help you.

Bua smiled while cheering. Dan smiled back to his sister.

Bua is a very pretty little girl. She looks a lot like Beam rather than Dan since they are stepsiblings. Bua is very close to both of her brothers. She’ll ask help and whined to both of her brothers when she has problems. She enjoys being the youngest in the family.

Beam stopped his remote control car and saw his sister cheering and his brother smiling. He raised his eyebrow feeling weird. He shrugged his shoulder and continued playing his remote control car as if nothing had happened.

Dan and Bua went into their mansion house and went into Bua’s playing room. Bua pointed her toy sets on top of the cupboard. Dan looked up to the cupboard.

Dan: Erm…Bua I don’t think I can reach your toy up there. It’s so high up. I’m not that tall.

Bua: But I want to play with that one up there!

Bua let down her head feeling upset. Dan scratches his head thinking of a way to get the toy. He saw a tall stool on the other corner. He looked at it while smiling.

Bua: I know P’Dan! You can ask P’Beam to help us! I’m sure he’ll listen to you rather than me…

Dan: Do you think he’s going to help?

Bua shrugged her shoulders.

Dan: P’Beam never bothers anything when he is playing even if there is a fire. Don’t worry I know what to do.

Dan took the tall stool and put it near the cupboard. He climbed up the stool and tried to reach the toy on top of the cupboard.

Dan, he’s the son of his father’s second wife. While Beam and Bua are his father’s first wife. Few years back, Dan’s mother got divorced with his father and left him with his father and stepmother. However that didn’t worry him much because he was still young and his stepmother is a great mother to him as she treats him like her own son. Dan’s very cheerful, friendly and active boy. Everyone loves talking to him and being friends with him.

Bua: P’Dan, careful you might fall.

Dan looked down to his sister with a smile.

Dan: Don’t worry. Remember how I used to climb up the trees? [Smile]

Bua smiled back to him.

Outside the mansion house

Beam was busily playing his toy car when his mother came. Beam’s mother shook her head looking at her son. She walked towards him.

Mrs. Ta: Beam dear, stop playing. Come on in and we’ll have some lunch together. [Smile]

Beam stopped playing his toy car and looked up to his mother.

Beam has been a really quiet boy since he was born. He only talks to his siblings but not his parents nor his friends. Even with his siblings he doesn’t talk much. In school, his friends often teased him being an arrogant boy for not talking to anyone and just being quiet.

Beam went to take his toy car and followed his mother into the house.

Mrs. Ta: Beam, where’s Dan and Bua? I thought they were outside too?

Beam shrugged his shoulders while looking at the stairs. Mrs. Ta looked to where Beam was looking at.

Mrs. Ta: You think they’re upstairs?

Beam nodded and went towards the dining table. Mrs. Ta smiled and went upstairs to look for her other two children.

Mrs. Ta is the mother of Beam and Bua. Although it was kind of hard for her to accept Dan at first but soon she learns to love him as he is a very nice boy. He treats Dan just like her own son.

Mrs. Ta: Dan! Bua! Stop playing already! Come and have lunch!

Mrs. Ta called out to her two children but there was no answer.

Bua’s playing room

Bua: Can you reach it P’Dan?

Dan tiptoed on the stool trying to reach the toy.

Dan: Almost…

Mrs. Ta: Dan…Bua…!

Mrs. Ta opened the door of the playing room and at that same time Dan accidentally fell off from the
stool. Both Bua and Mrs. Ta were shocked when Dan fell.

Mrs. Ta: DAN!!!

Bua: P’Dan! [Cry]

Beam who was at the dining table with his father heard his mother shouting.

Mr. Thavid: Beam come with me.

Beam hold his father’s hand and followed him upstairs. As they opened Bua’s playing room door. Beam and his father saw Dan in his mother lap with blood flowing out from his head. Mrs. Ta was crying while trying to wake Dan up. Bua was sitting beside her mother crying as well. Mr. Thavid went to his wife and tried to wake Dan up as well. Beam stood there still in shocked. He walked slowly towards Dan and kneels down. He touched his forehead. Both of his parents looked up at Beam.

Beam: Dan…wake up. You must be strong. Wake up…

His parents were startled. They had never heard him talk before. They knew he only talk to Dan and Bua but Beam had never talked to them in front of his parent. Mrs. Ta was happy to hear Beam talk. That was the first time his parents hear him talking. She touched Beams cheek with tears rolling down.

Beam looked up to his mother in silence,

Bangkok Hospital

Dan was brought into the emergency room. Dan’s parents, Beam and Bua went into the doctor’s room to talk to them.

Doctor: Dan is alright. He’s stable already and we just have to wait for him to wake up in about a few more hours since we gave him a sleeping pill for him to get some rest. But there’s something you need to know.

Mr. Thavid: What is it doctor?

Mrs. Ta: There’s nothing wrong with my son right?

Doctor: I’m afraid so.

The doctor shows the x-ray result of Dan’s head.

Doctor: As you can see here, Dan’s head had a really hard knock and since he is still a small kid his
head is easily injured. We did some test on him and we found out that he might have lost his memory.
Mrs. Ta started to cry while Mr. Thavid tried to comfort her. Beam was shocked. He went out from the doctor’s room and run towards his brother’s room. He opened the door slowly and walked slowly into the room towards Dan’s bed. He was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and wires all over.
Beam sat down beside his bed.

Beam: Dan…wake up. I’m sure you’ll still remember me right?

Beam’s eyes turned red.

*Flashback*
Beam and Dan were racing with their bicycles from their house to the field which they always go to when suddenly a car was about to crash Beam’s bicycle when Dan stopped and push Beam together with his bicycle to the other side. Both of them fell down.

Dan: Are you okay P’Beam?

Beam nodded. They looked at each other and started laughing.

Dan: That was close one.

Beam: uh huh. Thanks. We should record that. It was cool.

Dan and Beam laughed together. Dan stood up and helped his brother stand up. Although they were
hurt, they were still laughing as they thought it was funny how it happened.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dan: P’Beam! Let’s go and play basketball.

Beam: No. I need to study. Exam is just around the corner.

Dan: But I don’t have anyone to play with.

Beam: Why don’t you contact your friends?

Dan gave a sighed.

Dan: They’re busy studying too.

Beam: And why are you not?

Dan: P’Beam! You know I have enough study at school; I don’t want to study at home. It’s so boring.

Beam: It’s not if you have someone to study with. Come with me. We can study together and I can
teach you.

Dan: What?

Beam: Come on! I promise after we study we’ll play together how’s that?

Dan gave smile.

Dan: Really.

Beam nodded.

Dan: Alright then. I’ll take my books.

>>>>>>.

During Tea Time

Bua: Mum can I have that last piece of cake please?

Mrs. Ta: Sure dear. Here have some.

Dan: But mum I haven’t got any of it yet!

Mrs. Ta: Serve you right. Didn’t I told you to come back early?

Dan was really upset, he went into the house while stomping his feet as Bua smiled happily feeling
pleasant. Beam who was having another piece of cake on his plate just look at Dan stomping into the
house.

Mrs. Ta: You want to give some of your cake to Dan?

Mrs. Ta understands Beam really well although he never talks to her. She knew Beam cares a lot
about his stepbrother. Beam looked up to his mother and his mother smiled to him.

Mrs. Ta: Go on if you want to.

Beam smiled back to his mother. He went into the house and into the room they shared with. He looked around but Dan was nowhere to be seen. He went to the balcony and saw Dan sitting down on the floor with his legs covering his face. Beam walked towards Dan. Dan put up his face and saw Beam with his plate and a piece of cake on it.

Dan: For me?

Beam nodded. Dan wiped his tears and took the cake.

Dan: Thanks.

Beam sat beside his brother as Dan finish up his cake

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In school

The other kids were teasing Beam for his quietness. Beam just stood there without saying anything. Dan saw what the kids were doing to his brother. He bravely went towards them to defend his brother although they were older than him.

Dan: Hey! Get away from my brother and stop teasing him!!

Boy 1: Oh look! The rich arrogant boy here has a defender which is a small, stupid kid!!!

Everyone laugh. Dan was angry.

Dan: GO AWAY!! MY brother is NOT ARROGANT!! You are the one who are!!

Beam just starred at how Dan was defending him. Deep in Beams heart, he was glad to have a brother like Dan who is always there to help him although Dan was younger than him.

*End of Flashback*

Tears started to come out from Beam’s eyes.

Beam: Wake up, Dan. Who’s going to study and play with me? Who’s going to save me if I was about
to get crash by a car? Who’s going to defend me in school? Who am I going to share my cake with? [Cry] Who? Who?

Tears roll down Beam’s cheek.

That night, Beam, Bua and their parents went home. The doctor didn’t let them to stay in the hospital as Dan was not awake and it was best for him to stay alone.

Mansion House

Mrs. Ta: Beam, are you okay?

Beam nodded. Mrs. Ta bends down to Beam.

Mrs. Ta: If you’re okay… can I hear you talk again? Please…one word is enough….

Beam looked into his mother’s eyes but he kept quiet and went away. Mrs. Ta was upset she was really happy when Beam talk to Dan.

Mr. Thavid: Don’t worry honey; he must be sad seeing Dan.

Mrs. Ta nodded still hoping that Beam would start to talk more frequently.

That night in Beam’s room he couldn’t go to sleep. He kept staring at Dan’s bed on the other side of the room.

*Flashback*

Every night before they go to sleep, Beam and Dan would play the guitar together and start singing. Sometimes they would come out with a song created by their own too.

Dan: P’Beam have you ever thought of what you’re going to become when you grow up?

Beam stayed silence.

Beam… I don’t know but for sure Dad wants us to take over his company so we might be engineers.

Dan: Engineer…what kind of engineer?

Beam: Electrical I guess.

Dan stayed silent.

Dan: But I don’t think I want to become an engineer.

Beam: Why not?

Dan: Think about it P’Beam both of us has got talents in singing and creating songs. Everyone loves our song when they hear it. Mum, dad, Bua and others. We could become singers. We can create a boy band of our own.

Beam: True. But you know I don’t sing in front of other people except for you and Bua.

Dan kept silent again.

Dan: P’Beam…why don’t you talk to other people other than me and Bua? Is there something
bothering you?

Beam just shook his head.

Dan: Sorry if…

Beam: I just don’t feel like talking to them. I don’t know why but when I’m with other people I feel like I don’t know them at all and so far away from them. It’s just so uncomfortable when I want to start talking to them. So I decide to keep quiet.

Dan: Even with mum and dad?

Beam just let his head down. Dan started to play the guitar again followed by Beam.

*End of Flashback*

Tears started to water Beam’s eyes again. He took his guitar and went to sit on Dan’s bed. He took the song script which Dan and he created. Dan did the melody while Beam wrote the lyrics. They still haven’t had any title for the song as the song is still undone.

Beam

‘I wonder if you still remember about this song Dan and our dreams of having our own boy band.’
Beam started playing the guitar according to the melody Dan created. Bua came in with tears. Beam looked up and saw his little sister at the door.

Beam: Come in.

Bua ran towards his brother and hugged him. She started crying really hard. Beam tried to calm her down.

Bua: It’s all my fault. If I didn’t ask him to take the toy for me he wouldn’t have fall.
Beam wiped his sister’s tears.

Beam: Bua, you can’t blame yourself. I was wrong to. I should have helped you instead of asking Dan.

Bua put her head on Beam’s shoulder while Beam run through his finger between his sister’s hair.

Beam: You want to sing?

Bua nodded.

Beam: Here Dan and I created this song but it’s still unfinished.

Beam and Bua sang together along with the guitar played by Beam as tears started rolling down. They didn’t notice that their parents were peeping through the door hearing and looking at the both of them. It was also the first time they hear Beam singing. Mrs. Ta hugged her husband couldn’t stand the sadness.

The next day…

Bangkok Hospital

All of them went to the hospital to visit Dan. According to the doctor who contacted them last night Dan was already awake and as expected he couldn’t remember anything. They walked into Dan’s room with the doctor. As they went in the room Dan wasn’t on the bed. They searched everywhere in the room but he was nowhere to be seen.

Mrs. Ta: Doctor where’s my son?

Tears started rolling down her eyes. Beam was also worried.

Doctor: Hold on I’ll ask the nurse and guards to search for him. He couldn’t have go out from this hospital our security is very tight here.

Soon the nurses and guards started to search for Dan but he wasn’t found. Mrs. Ta was really upset while Mr. Thavid was angry with the hospital of not taking care of his son. The guards search through the CCTV camera and they finally saw Dan who was walking out from the hospital last night about 2.00 a.m. in the morning. Mrs. Ta was worried if something had happened to Dan. Mr. Thavid reports the incident to the police and he sewed the hospital of not being responsible.

Mrs. Ta was crying really badly while Mr. Thavid was really angry for his son’s lost.
Police Station

Beam sat outside the police station while waiting for his parents reporting it to the police.

Beam

‘Dan where are you?’

Beam was looking around when he saw a stall nearby. He took some money out of his pocket and started counting. He felt thirsty so he walked towards the stall.

Bua: P’Beam! Where are you going?

Beam: Over there. I want to get some water. Want to come with me?

Bua nodded and ran towards his brother. Beam holds his sisters hand and walked towards the stall.

Man: Yes can I help you.

Beam pointed to the lemon juice and shows the number two with his fingers. The man poured the lemon juice into the plastic cup.

Man: Five Baht.

Beam hand over the drinks to his sisters as he took out his money from his pocket.

Man: Do you have smaller amount of money?

Beam shook his head. The man called out to his daughter.

Man: Aum! Can you get my money from the van please!

A pretty girl with her hair tied into a pony tail turned to her father. Beam was stunned for a little while
when he saw the girl.

Aum: Yes Pa.

Beam saw the girl running into the van and took out a small box. She hands over the box to her father but Beam couldn’t stop staring at her.

Man: Here’s the change boy.

Beam nodded and walked back towards the police station.

Aum: Pa, who is he? Why doesn’t he talk? He seemed so quiet.

Man: Don’t bother him. Everyone’s different in their own way.

Aum wasn’t satisfied so she went towards Beam who was drinking the lemon juice outside the police station alone. Bua was already inside the police station with her parents.

Aum: Hey!

Beam looked at Aum and kept quiet.

Aum: Are you deaf or you can’t talk?

Beam just stayed silent still starring at her.

Aum: Do you always look at people like that?

Beam didn’t say a word.

Aum: Okay…

There was silence again.

Aum…well my name is Patcharapa.

Beam looked at Aum blankly.

Aum: What’s yours?

Beam took out his chain around his neck from his shirt with the letter ‘B’ and showed it to Aum. Aum
looked at the chain.

Aum: ‘B’?

Beam nodded.

Aum: Your name is ‘B’?

Beam shook his head. He showed the letter again.

Aum: You mean your name starts with the letter ‘B’?

Beam nodded.

Aum: Well… I’ve got to go now. Nice meeting you by the way. [Smile] Bye!

Beam just looked at Aum walking back towards her dad’s stall. Aum suddenly stopped and turned
back to Beam. She walked back towards Beam.

Aum: Hey sometimes it’s good to stay quiet and not express too much but sometimes you just need
to talk for people to know that you hear and care about what they are talking about besides talking doesn’t takes that much of energy right? Unless you’re really deaf and can’t speak [Smile]

Aum start to walk away again

Beam

‘Patcharapa…Thanks for the advice…Nice meeting you too’

Under a tree in the busy road of Bangkok, a boy was sleeping down there. It was Dan. He had wondered of all night after going out from the hospital. His mind was blank and he couldn’t remember anything.

*Flashback*

The night before…

Doctor: How are you?

Dan: Who are you? Where am I?

Doctor: You’re in the hospital now and I’m your doctor. Now I just want to ask you one thing. What is your name?

Dan…I…My name…I….I don’t remember.

*End of Flashback*

Dan just woke up and he didn’t know where to go to.

Dan
‘Where am I and who am I?’

Part 2

Few months later…

Dan had wondered around for months already. Dan survived by working at restaurants and stall washing the plates and cleaning up the restaurant. He travelled all over places and he didn’t know that he is being searched by his parents. Dan is now really far away from Bangkok. However, Dan managed to survive. He sleeps under bridges and trees everyday just to find a shelter.

Dan: P’ karp is there any work which I can do here?

Woman: I’m sorry boy but you’re too young.

Dan: But I’m sure I can do. Anything.

Woman: Can you wash the plates? There’s a lot behind there. If you’re willing because the pay is not high.

Dan: its okay I can do it.

The woman nodded and brought Dan to the back of the small wooden restaurant. He started washing the plates.

Woman: Can I know your name?

Dan: Erm…Thorn karp.

Woman: Thorn? Where are you from? You don’t seem to be the people here.

Dan: Actually I don’t know. I just went on buses and lorries and finally I end up here.

Woman: Where are your parents?

Dan: They’re…dead…

Woman: I’m sorry to hear that. Where are you living now?

Dan: I don’t know. I change to many places.

Woman: Look, if you want to know you’re now in Chiang Mai in a very small village. I don’t know how
you can end up here because only the people living here will know the way to come here. There’s nothing much here we can’t get any television signals or anything like that, even news about what is happening in the city we don’t know. But if you want to stay here you can. You could as well work at farms and plantation.

Dan: Really?

The woman nodded. Dan was happy because at last he found the right place where he can stay and work at the same time.

Mansion House

After Dan went missing, all the newspaper was printing out his pictures and news all around Thailand but still there were no news about him at all. The house became really quite. Bua wasn’t as cheerful as she used to be while Beam was the same as he was before. Every night Beam would stay up playing the guitar trying to finish up the song which Dan and he created but it just doesn’t seem to work without Dan. Beam couldn’t figure out any more lyrics or melody for the song which really stressed him.

Beam suddenly remembered Aum’s words.

*Flashback*

Aum: Hey sometimes it’s good to stay quiet and not express too much but sometimes you just need to talk for people to know that you hear and care about what they are talking about besides talking doesn’t takes that much of energy right? Unless you’re really deaf and can’t speak. [Smile]

*End of Flashback*

Beam

‘Talk…so that people would know that you hear and care about them…Dan, where are you? It’s been months since you’re gone. Mum and dad are really upset. Bua isn’t as cheerful as she used to be anymore.’

*Flashback*

Dan and Beam were sitting at the balcony that night while playing the guitar and singing. Dan stopped playing at looked at the stars.

Dan: I wonder how is mum.

Beam: You mean Mum Pham?

Dan nodded. Mum Pham is Dan’s mother. Beam and Bua call her by that name.

Dan: Is she still alive or dead?

Beam: Dan…I’m sure she’s alright.

Dan let out a breath out air.

Dan: Hope so…P’Beam if anything happens to me or maybe Mum Pham came and take me with her can you promise that you will make this family happy and cheerful just the way it is?

Beam: What do you mean? Nothing’s going to happen to you Dan.

Dan: Promise me please…

Beam: [sighed] I promise.

Both of them grabbed each other’s palm and did their handshake.

*End of Flashback*

Beam: Don’t worry Dan; I’ll keep to my promise. I’ll make this family just as cheerful as it was when you were here.

*Flashback*

Aum: Hey sometimes it’s good to stay quiet and not express too much but sometimes you just need to talk for people to know that you hear and care about what they are talking about besides talking doesn’t takes that much of energy right? Unless you’re really deaf and can’t speak. [Smile]

*End of Flashback*

Beam went to Bua’s room and saw her sitting on her bed playing with her dolls.

Beam: Bua…

Bua turned to her brother and smiled at him.

Beam: Do you want to go out with me?

Bua was surprised. Beam had never asked her to go out with him. All this while Dan was the only one
who has been asking her out.

Bua: Are you sure P’Beam?

Beam: Of course I am. Somehow I’ve never been out with you. We’ll go to the playground nearby the basketball court that P’Dan used to bring you to. How’s that?

Bua smiled and nodded. Beam helped her sister to pack up her dolls and bring it along. Beam took Dan’s basketball along with them.

As they walked down the stairs, Beam saw his mother still staring at the phone hoping that someone would just call to inform about Dan and his father was reading the newspaper also regarding Dan. Beam wanted to say something to them but it just didn’t come out from his mouth.

*Flashback*

Dan: Promise me please…

Beam: [sighed] I promise

>>>>>>>>>>>>

Aum: Hey sometimes it’s good to stay quiet and not express too much but sometimes you just need to talk for people to know that you hear and care about what they are talking about besides talking doesn’t takes that much of energy right? Unless you’re really deaf and can’t speak. [Smile]

*End of Flashback*

Beam

‘Beam you can do this. For your brother Dan, you have to change. It’s good to stay quiet and not express too much but sometimes you just need to talk for people to know that you hear and care about what they are talking about besides talking doesn’t takes that much of energy right? Unless you’re really deaf and can’t speak. Patcharapa…’

Beam: Mum, dad!

Both Mr. Thavid and Mrs. Ta were shocked. They turned to Beam as soon as they hear his voice.
Tears started to roll down Mrs. Ta’s cheeks. Bua was also surprised to hear her brother calling out to their parents. Beam smiled to them. He walked towards them and sat on the sofa beside his mother.
Mrs. Ta kissed Beam’ forehead. Bua sat on her father’s lap.

Beam holds his mother’s hand.

Beam: Mum, dad, I’m sorry for all I did to both of you. I’m sorry for not talking to you at all since I
was born. I’m sorry. I don’ know why every time I want to talk to you the word just won’t come out even with my friends except for Bua and Dan. I’m sorry.

Mrs. Ta: It’s okay dear.

Mr. Thavid: Don’t worry Beam we understand.

Beam: There’s one thing that I’ve wanted to tell the both of you for years and I think it’s the right time for me to tell you.

Mrs. Ta: What is it dear?

Beam: Mum, I love you. Dad I love you too.

Mrs. Ta and Mr. Thavid were so touched. Beam had never said those words to them before. Bua was happy that her brother managed to express his feelings. Both his parents hugged him.

Bua

‘If only P’Dan was here, he would be happy too.’

Beam: Mum, dad, I don’t want you to be sad anymore even you Bua. I want to see the old Bua who is always cheerful and happy. I’m sure Dan will come back. If no one is going to send him back I’m sure he’ll come back by his own although the doctor said he had lost his memory…I’m sure he’ll recover. I know Dan really well…he’s a strong boy and he won’t give up easily.

His parents smiled and nodded at him.

Beam: Don’t worry mum, dad. I’m sure Dan will be back. I won’t stop searching for him. But I want our life to go on. We can’t just sit down and wait, we must do something.

Mrs. Ta nodded while kissing his forehead again.

Mr. Thavid: I’m very proud of you, my son.

Mr. Ta: Me too Beam.

Tears started to flow out Mrs. Ta eyes again. Beam’s attitude now somehow reminds them about Dan.

*Flashback*

Everyone was upset when Dan’s mother got divorced with Dan’s father and left Dan.

Dan: Why are you all so quiet?

No one respond to Dan’s question.

Dan: No one has to be sad. Besides mum and dad had made their decision. I’m sure one day she’ll come back to visit me.

Mrs. Ta went to Dan and hugged him.

Dan: Mum, can you take care of me while my mother is not around?

Mrs. Ta nodded with tears. Dan smiled to his stepmother.

*End of Flashback*

Till now Dan’s mother hasn’t come back or even contact Dan. Mrs. Ta had a feeling that Dan won’t come back too after what Beam said which sounds so familiar with what Dan once said about his mother.

Beam: Mum, dad can I take Bua out to play?

Both his parents were surprised and happy at the same time. Both of them nodded. Beam smiled to them. He took his sisters hand and went out to play.

May Ai Village, Chiang Mai, Thailand

A little girl was in the maize plantation. She was collecting the corns. Although she’s very young, she is willing to work. In the morning she would go to school as soon as she got back from school she’ll start to help her father working. At night she will be finishing up her homework and spend time studying. The girl is Aum Patcharapa Chaichue, a pretty young girl of a poor family but very hardworking.

Mr. Chari: Aum, are you done? We need to go now.

Aum carried the basket full of corns. She put down the basket while wiping off her sweat.

Aum: Pa, aren’t we going to Bangkok anymore?

Mr. Chari: I don’t think so dear. Why? I thought you never like going there.

Aum: Nothing just asking.

Aum actually remembered about Beam.

*Flashback*

Aum: Hey!

Beam looked at Aum and kept quiet.

Aum: Are you deaf or you can’t talk?

Beam just stayed silent still starring at her.

Aum: Do you always look at people like that?

Beam didn’t say a word.

Aum: Okay…

There was silence again.

Aum…well my name is Patcharapa.

Beam looked at Aum blankly.

Aum: What’s yours?

Beam took out his chain around his neck from his shirt with the letter ‘B’ and showed it to Aum. Aum looked at the chain.

Aum: ‘B’ ?

Beam nodded.

Aum: Your name is ‘B’?

Beam shook his head. He showed the letter again.

Aum: You mean your name starts with the letter ‘B’?

Beam nodded.

*End of Flashback*

Aum

‘B’…you’re really interesting…haven’t seen anyone as quiet as you.’

Aum smiled by her own then she went onto the lorry which her dad rented. The lorry stopped in front of the stall which Aum’s father had always sold his corns too. The owner came out.

Woman: Mr. Chari, you’re here! [Smile]

Mr. Chari: Yup, I’ve got a lot of corns for you.

Woman: I can see that.

Aum got off from the lorry.

Woman: You brought your daughter along? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her.

Aum smiled to the woman.

Aum: Sawadeeka.

Woman: Sawadeeka. Mr. Chari, you wait here I’ll call my workers.

He nodded and waited. A few of her workers came including a little boy who was Dan came to take
the corns out of the lorry. Aum looked at Dan; his face seems to look like someone she knew.

Woman: Here’s your pay.

Mr. Chari: Thanks Miss. I’m sorry if I ask. Who’s that boy? I’ve never seen him in our village before.

Woman: That one? Even I don’t know where he comes from. He said his name was Thorn and his
parents are dead. He’s working in order to survive.

Mr. Chari: Poor boy. Is he living with you?

Woman: Yes, I’m afraid so but I don’t know how long can I keep him.

Aum walked towards his father.

Aum: Pa…we can send him to Aunty Yam. Besides she had always missed her son. Maybe this boy
could help her forget about her son.

Woman: Aum’s quite right Mr. Chari. Yam is really lonely. She even talks alone sometimes. She can
go crazy anytime. Maybe this boy can somehow replace her son.

Mr. Chari nodded. The woman called out to Dan.

Woman: Thorn! Come here.

Dan walked towards them. Aum still observing his face which reminds her of…

Aum

‘B’…he looks a lot like ‘B’ although he’s is more tanned compared to ‘B’. But they couldn’t be related because ‘B’ seems to be like a rich boy while this boy he’s just like me…’

Woman: This man here is going to bring you to a new home. There you will have a mother.

Dan’s eyes sparkled.

Dan: Mother?

Mr. Chari: Yes. But that also depends on you if…

Dan: Sure. Why not? I’ve always wanted a mother.

Mr. Chari smiled.

Mr. Chari: Well, my name is Mr. Chari and this is my daughter Patcharapa.

Aum smiled to Dan. Dan smiled back to her.

Aum: You can call me Aum.

Mr. Chari: But first I want you to tell me who you really are.

Dan was shocked. He didn’t know what to say as he doesn’t remember anything.

Dan: Actually, my name is not Thorn and I don’t know what happen to my parents. Whether they are still alive or dead. I don’t remember anything. All I remember was I woke up in this big building and I wondered off. I work everywhere to eat and at last I end up here.

Mr. Chari: So, you don’t remember anything at all?

Dan shook his head.

Woman: I guess something must have happened.

Mr. Chari nodded. Dan followed them to meet his new mother.

Basketball court, Bangkok, Thailand

Beam was sweating after about two hours playing the basketball. He still remembers how he and Dan
would play basketball for hours. He turned and saw his sister playing with her dolls on the other side.
He grabbed his basketball and walked toward his sister. Beam sat beside his sister.

Beam: Hey! Having fun?

Bua turned and smiled to her brother.

Bua: P’Beam ka, I’m really glad to see your changes.

Beam: Change?

Bua: Ya, the way you treat me and the way you treat mum and dad.

Beam: Thanks. Dan’s the one who makes me change.

Bua: Really?

Beam nodded.

Bua: If only P’Dan was here, he would be glad.

Beam: I know.

Beam smiled at his sister and put his arm around her neck while Bua leaned on him. Bua felt really happy, it was the first time Beam really showed his love towards her.

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Mr. Chari: Aum, why don’t you go and get Aunty Yam.

Aum: Alright Pa.

Yam lives nearby their house. They have been neighbors for a few years already. No one knows where Yam actually came from. All they know was just that she is really depressed after losing her only son. Dan looked around the village. He felt really relax and peaceful.

Yam’s house

Aum: Aunty Yam! Are you in here?

Aum went into the unlocked house. She looked around and saw Yam on one corner at the small window.

Yam: Don’t worry dear, you will be alright. I’m just going for a while…

Yam was talking by her own. She always does that. Sometimes the villagers’ thinks that she’s crazy but for Aum and her father they think that Yam is just depressed and nothing more than that. Aum walked towards Yam. Aum treated her like her own mother since her mother died when she was still a baby. Yam also treated Aum really well.

Aum: Aunty Yam…

Yam turned with a smile.

Yam: Aum…you’re back…

Aum smiled to her.

Aum: Come on aunty, I’ve got a surprise for you.

Yam: Surprise?

Aum nodded. She took Yam to see Dan.

Mr. Chari: Yam, I would like to introduce to you this boy.

Yam looked into the boy’s eyes so as Dan. Yam and Dan felt as if they have connections. Yam walked nearer towards Dan and touched his cheek.

Yam: Dan…

Mr. Chari: Yam? Are you okay?

Yam looked to Mr. Chari.

Yam: Who is he?

Mr. Chari: I have no idea. Even he himself doesn’t know who he is. I think he used to have an
accident or something because there’s a cut on his forehead on the left.

Yam swiped Dan’s hair and saw the cut.

Mr. Chari: I think he doesn’t remember anything. I thought maybe you would want to take care of him just like your own son.

Yam turned to Dan and lowered down her body, touching his hair and face. Yam smiled to Dan as Dan smiled back to her. Yam saw a chain hung around Dan’s neck. She took out the chain from Dan’s shirt. Aum who was there immediately recognizes the chain.

Aum

‘Isn’t that the same chain ‘B’ was wearing? Except his is the letter ‘D’

Yam observed the chain. She recognized the chain Dan was wearing really well.

*Flashback*

Phayampha had just divorced with her husband Mr. Thavid. She decided to go away from Bangkok and she also decided to leave her son, Dan with her husband.

Mr. Thavid: Are you sure you want to leave Dan with me and Ta?

Pham nodded.

Pham: He will have a better life with the both of you.

Mrs. Ta: But Pham, Dan is still young he needs your love…A true mother’s love...

Pham turned to Mrs. Ta and holds her hand.

Pham: P’Ta, please promise me that you will take care of Dan just like your own son. Love him as
much as you love your children, Beam and Bua. I beg you. Please…

Mrs. Ta: Pham, although you’re divorced with Thavid, you can still live nearby or somewhere so that you can always come and visit Dan.

Pham shook her head.

Pham: No, I don’t want him to see me living in suffer. P’Ta, please promise me that you will take good care of Dan please…

Mrs. Ta nodded with tears. Pham hugged Mrs. Ta.

Pham: Thank you. Thank you so much,

Dan came down from the stairs slowly with Beam. Both of them saw the big luggage with Pham. Dan walked quickly towards his mother.

Dan: Mum, where are you going?

Pham kneeled down in front of Dan and kissed his forehead. She hugged Dan for the last time with tears.

Dan: Mum, why are you crying?

Pham wiped her tears.

Pham: Dan, I’m going to go now. You must promise me that you’ll behave well went you are living with Mum Ta and dad. Okay?

Beam when nearer to Pham but he said nothing. Pham understood Beam’s expression. She kissed Beam’s forehead and hugged him too.

Pham: Beam, I love you and I want you to promise that you will take of Dan just like your own brother okay?

Tears started to water both Dan and Beam’s eyes. Beam nodded. He hugged Pham. Dan soon understood.

Dan: Mum, don’t worry I’ll be a good boy.

Pham smiled to her son. She kissed him for the last time.

Beam: I’ll miss you Mum Pham…

Pham: Here, I’ve got something for the both of you.

Pham gave each of them a chain. Dan received a ‘D’ letter chain while Beam and Bua received a ‘B’ letter chain.

Pham: I want you to keep and wear this chain every time. If anything happens to you, you will still have this chain with you. Dan started crying. Pham stood up and walked away leaving her son behind. Beam pulled Dan and hugged him.

*End of Flashback*

Yam

‘He’s my son ‘Dan’…I know he is…he has this chain…the same chain I gave to my son, my stepson and my stepdaughter…Dan..it’s you…’

Yam hugged Dan as tight as she can. She even kissed him on his forehead.

Yam: I’ll take care of him and I’ll call him… Dan…

Mr. Chari nodded with a smile while Aum was still curious about the boy ‘B’ she knows and this Dan boy she just met. Yam decided not to tell anyone Dan was her real son. She keeps it as her secret.

Yam: Dan, are you really sure you can’t remember anything?

Dan looked up to Yam without any answers.

*Flashback*

Dan was hurt after he fell down when he playing basketball with Beam.

Beam: Are you okay?

Dan: My feet…it hurts…

Beam: Hold on, I’m going to go home and…

Dan: No! Don’t tell mum and dad about this. They’ll be mad.

Beam: [sigh] did I say I was going to tell them? I’m going to go home and get the safety aid kit.

Beam was about to go when Dan hold his hand.

Dan: What if they saw? What are you going to say?

Beam: Don’t worry. Everything’s going to be fine. I know what to do.

>>>>>>>>

Beam started to bandaged Dan’s feet. While Dan shouted in pain. Beam started to laugh looking at
his brother’s expression.

Dan: P’…why are you laughing?! I’m in pain you know?!!

Beam: [laugh] Sorry, but you just seem to be tough every time but all of a sudden I see you crying
just because of a small injury.

Dan beat Beam’s shoulder.

Beam: What was that for?

Dan: For laughing at me.

Beam: Alright then I’ll let go off your feet.

Dan: No…No… I’m sorry, sorry…

Both of them laughed together.

*End of Flashback*

Dan

‘P’….’

Mansion House

Beam was sitting at the garden outside his house while holding the guitar thinking about Dan. He was
trying to figure out the lyrics and melody for the song but nothing seems to work at all. Beam sighed. It’s been months since he tries to figure out the song and finish it but nothing is working. Mrs. Ta saw his son sitting alone outside so she decided to join him.

Mrs. Ta: Hey…what are you doing?

Mrs. Ta smiled to her son while holding his shoulders. Beam smiled back to his mother.

Beam: Nothing mum, just relaxing and enjoying the scenery.

Mrs. Ta saw the song scripts.

Mrs. Ta: You create this?

Beam: Not only me…Dan too, but it’s still unfinished. I don’t know why but since Dan wasn’t around I
just can’t figure out how to end up this song.

Mrs. Ta: Maybe it needs two people who first started it and the same two people to finish it.

Beam looked at her mother and put his guitar aside. He turned to his mother and holds her hands.

Beam: Mum…do you think Dan will come back?

Mrs. Ta: What are you talking about Beam?

Beam: I’m sorry mum but I had a dream that Dan now has a new family and he doesn’t remember
anything anymore and…

Mrs. Ta put her finger at Beam’s lips. She touched his cheek.

Mrs. Ta: Beam, if there’s a will there will be a way. I’m sure Dan will be back.

Beam smiled to his mother and hugged her.

started working at the farms and plantation. Dan also learns how to do village work. Everyday Dan
and Aum would go to school together and work together. They became really close friends. Without
them knowing, both had fell in love with each other although they were still young.

Dan: Aum, aren’t you tired?

Aum turned to Dan with a curious face.

Aum: Why should I?

Dan: Well, you’re a girl but you’re doing an adult man’s work.

Aum laughed.

Aum: I’m used to it already. Unlike you. Are you really sure you don’t remember anything at all? I
mean it’s just weird of all of a sudden you forget everything.

Dan: I don’t know…sometimes I do remember and dream about a boy and a girl in my dream and
two adults but it isn’t so clear.

Aum washed her feet which were covered with mud.

Aum: Let’s go.

Dan: Where?

Aum: Where? Hello it’s Thursday, there’ll be a carnival today just nearby our village. Come on!

Dan: Carnival? What carnival?

Aum shook her head. She took Dan’s hand and pull him towards her bicycle.

Aum: Hop on I’ll cycle.

Dan just starred at Aum hoping onto her bicycle.

Aum: What are you looking at? Don’t tell me you even forget on how to ride a bicycle?

Dan: No…of course not. But don’t you think it’s weird a guy sitting at the back and…

Aum: Oh, come on there’s nothing wrong if it’s here in the village no one bother’s…

Dan sat behind Aum on the bicycle and they went to the carnival. They had so much fun in the
carnival. They eat and played together.

The next morning…

It was holiday; Yam was walking toward the plantation to start working when she saw Aum already in
the farm taking care of the cows. She called out to Aum.

Yam: Aum!!

Twelve years later…

A young woman with her face covered by her cloth and a big hat on her head turned as soon as she heard her name was called. Her beautiful eyes were shined by the beautiful morning sunlight. She took off the cloth which was covering her face. There you can see a beautiful looking young woman with a sweet smile.

Aum: Yes Aunty Yam!!!

Yam was already having grey hairs now but she is still working.

Yam: Aum! Can you wake Dan up! He’s still not awake!!

Aum: Okay!!

Aum was happy; it was already her daily routine of waking Dan up every morning. She cycled to Dan’s wooden house. She put her bicycle aside. She walked slowly into the house trying not to wake Dan up. She went into his room carefully and preparing to shout but as soon as she got in Dan wasn’t on the bed.

Aum: Where is he?

Aum went out to the living room but he wasn’t anywhere. Suddenly, someone hold her waist from behind and shout.

Dan: GOOD MORNING!!

Aum: ARGHHHH!!!!

Aum was shocked so she shouted and beat Dan with her elbow without realizing it was Dan. Dan shouted in pain while Aum released herself from him. She turned and saw Dan. Aum was shocked to see Dan. Dan was holding her stomach in pain with his head down. Aum took off her hat and cloth a around her neck.

Aum kneeled down in front of Dan while holding his hands.

Aum: Dan…I’m sorry…so sorry…I thought it was someone who wants to take advantage on me or something…

Dan was still holding his stomach with his head down.

Aum: Dan…

Aum was really worried. Dan put up his face with a smile with his two dimples on each cheek. His handsome looks with a smile always melts a woman’s heart.

Aum: Why are you smiling?

Dan: Because you’re sad when you see me in pain.

Dan started laughing. Aum beat Dan.

Aum: You lied!

Dan: Ooi, why are you beating me again?!!

Aum: You know I was so worried that you might be in a serious pain and all of sudden you laugh…

Dan laughs and holds both of her hands. Dan smiled to her.

Dan: Sorry. I don’t mean to make you worry just want to see your expression. Just want to see if you really care about me.

Aum blushed. Aum let go of her hands from Dan and took her hat and cloth.

Aum: Whatever Dan, your mum asked me to wake you up and start working.

Dan hold Aum’s waist from behind again. Dan put his head on her shoulder. Dan whispered to Aum’s ear.

Dan: You look really beautiful today.

Aum smiled.

Aum: Thanks.

Dan kissed Aum’s cheek as Aum blushed. Both of them looked at each other’s eyes. They knew they were in love which other but neither had ever expressed it. Aum took off Dan’s hands from her waist.
Aum: I need to go now. There’s still so much work.

She smiled and was about to walk away when Dan hold on to one of her hand. Aum turned and Dan smiled to her.

Dan: I’ll pick you up from the plantation today in the evening. I want to bring you somewhere.

Aum nodded. Aum wanted to walk away but Dan holds on to her hand.

Dan: You forgot to say something?

Aum: What?

Dan shrugged his shoulders.

Aum: Dan ka…you look so charming today

Both of them smiled at each other. Dan let go off Aum’s hand. Aum walked out of the house. While Dan smiled by his own.

Dan

‘Don’t worry Aum…I’ll make sure that I say those word tonight and also propose you to marry me’
Dan smiled by his own so in love with Aum.

The alarm clock rings. A hand reached out to off it. He took off his blanket covering him and fit his
feet into his slippers. He went into the bathroom got showered choose a suitable wear to get ready
for work. He wore his white long sleeve with a black pants and a black coat. He took his briefcase and when down the stairs.

Mrs. Ta smiled as soon as she saw her son Beam. Beam is now all grown up as a handsome young
man. He’s now working as an engineer in his father’s company. Beam smiled to his parents as he walked down the stairs. He kissed his mum’s cheek.

Mrs. Ta: Come on, sit down and have breakfast.

Beam sat down beside his father while his mother sat on the other side.

Beam: Mum, where Nong Bua?

Mrs. Ta: She must be still in bed.

Beam: I’ll go and wake her up.

Mrs. Ta: Beam…

Beam walked upstairs ignoring his mother.

Mrs. Ta just shook her head.

Mr. Thavid: He is just concern about his sister.

Beam walked up and knocked on his sister’s door room but there was no answer. He went and his
sister wasn’t on the bed. Suddenly someone hop on to his shoulders from behind

Bua: good morning P’Beam!!

Beam turned to his shoulder and smiled to his younger sister.

Beam: You’re early today.

Bua let go off her brother’s shoulder and spin around with her school uniform.

Beam: Come on let’s go and have breakfast.

Bua faced turned sad.

Beam: Now, what’s wrong?

Bua: P’Beam ka…my legs hurts so much; I don’t think I have the energy to walk down.

Beam smiled to his sister. Bua had been really pampered by Beam after Dan left.

Beam: Alright…

Beam carried her sister.

Beam: Are you feeling happy now princess?

Bua smiled to her brother.

Bua: Very pleasant my charming brother. I love you so much!!

Bua kissed his brother’s cheek with her hands around his neck.

Beam: I love you too.

Beam carried Bua downstairs as Mrs. Ta watches them.

Mrs. Ta: Bua…how many times must I tell you not to burden you brother like that!!

Beam put Bua down. Bua just look down. Beam walked toward his mother.

Beam: Mum, I ‘m used to it. Besides, I don’t think there’s anything wrong because nowadays I’m
really busy and I don’t really get the chance to see Bua every day.

Mr. Thavid: Beam, your mother is just jealous that you treat your sister better than you treat her.

Mrs. Ta starred at her husband. Beam smiled and hugged his mother around her neck from behind.

Beam: Mum, in this world there’s five people I love most. You, dad, Dan, Bua and someone special.

Bua smiled and sat beside her mother. Bua hugged her mother.

Bua: Hear that mum? I’m 4th on his list!

Beam: What number you are doesn’t matters because my love towards all of you is the same.

All of them hugged each other. Mrs. Ta kissed both her children. Mr. Thavid was really happy to see
his family happy.

Bua: P’Beam ka, you said the last one was someone special. Who is it? [Smirk]

Beam looked at both his mother and sister

Beam: I don’t know yet but for now…

Bua: Let me guess…it must be P’Kwan right?

Beam smiled by his own not answering his sister.

Rangsit University

Beam opens his car door for his sister. Bua smiled to her brother as she steps out from the car.

Bua: P’Beam kha…

Beam: What more do you want princess? [Smile]

Bua smiled to her brother again and hold his arm. She put her head on Beam’s shoulder and look up
to him while Beam turned and look at his sister’s face with a smile.

Bua: P’Beam…can you comfort mum, so that she give me permission to go to the exchange program
in Korea?

Beam: Why me? You’re the one whom should comfort her not me.

Bua: I did! But she doesn’t want me to. She said that I’m not matured enough. How unfair is that?
When you were at my age, she gave you the permission to go to that exchange program in Japan.
Why can’t I go?

Bua bit her lower lip feeling upset. Beam smiled looking at his sister.

Beam: Well…I think what mum said is true, you’re immature… [smile]

Bua: P’Beam…

Bua crossed her arms with her back facing Beam feeling angry. Beam sighed as he shook his head.
Beam brought his head nearer towards his sister face behind her shoulder.

Beam: Why do you want me to comfort mum? You could do it again by yourself right?

Bua turned around to her brother.

Bua: I know…but I also know that it would work out. Mum really loves you and she’ll always listens to
you. So, I thought maybe if you talk to her, she would reconsider it.

Beam sighed as he put both of his hands in his pocket.

Bua: Please P’Beam…please…

Beam nodded with a smile. Bua kissed Beam on his cheek.

Bua: Thanks.

Beam pinched Bua’s cheek.

Beam: You’re being pampered too much you know?

Bua: I know and most of it comes from you. [Smile]

Beam smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

Beam: I got to go now. Study smart! [Smile]

Bua nodded and waved to her brother as Beam drove away.

Bua: Yes! Korea…I’m coming!!

fiancée.

Beam: So what’s up?

Kwan: What’s up? Beam…

‘’Bua: P’Beam kha can you pick me up during lunch at one? It’s been long since we had lunch
together…besides my friends wants to get to know you. You haven’t met any of my friends yet since I studied here.’’

Beam: Sure Bua why not. I’ll be there. Send me a message for a reminder 15 minutes before one

‘’Bua: Sure! Love you!’’

Beam: I love you too. Bye!

Beam hung up while Kwan showed her upset face with her arms cross.

Kwan: What does she wants more? Can she just get away from you?!!

Beam: Kwan, please…she’s my only sister and I’m her only brother.

Kwan: So you care more about your sister than your future wife?

Beam: Kwan it’s not like that.

Kwan stood up and turned her back to him. Beam stood up and hugged her from behind.

Beam: I’m sorry. Why don’t tonight I’ll pick you up at about nine and we’ll go for dinner. Just the two
of us.

Kwan smiled and turned to Beam.

Kwan: Really?

Beam: Yes.

Kwan: Just the two of us?

Beam nodded.

Kwan: Promise?

Beam: I promise.

Kwan hugged Beam and gave him a quick kiss on his lips.

Part 4

Both Aum and Dan cycled to a stall nearby for lunch. They ordered their food and waited.

Aum: Dan, you said you were going to bring me somewhere today. Where are you bringing me?

Dan smiled to Aum with his two dimples.

Dan: I guess you just have to wait and see.

Aum: Okay…but can’t you bring me now? I can’t wait for it!

Dan: Patience. Besides that place looks nicer at night.

Aum: Huh?

Dan started whistling to a tune of music.

Aum: Nice tune. Created a new one?

Dan: Huh? No, it just came up to my mind.

Dan started whistling the song again when Dan remembered something in his past.

*Flashback*

Dan: P’Beam come here!

Beam sat down on Dan’s bed.

Dan: I’ve created some melody for our new song but it still not done. I was thinking if you want to
write out the lyrics.

Beam nodded. He took a pencil and a paper. Beam listened to Dan playing the guitar while Beam
tries to write out the lyrics.

*End of Flashback*

Aum: Dan! Dan…Dan!

Dan was shocked.

Dan: Huh?

Aum: Are you day dreaming?

Dan: No…I just remembered something.

Aum: About what?

Dan: I’m not so sure. I saw a boy with me in a big room full of toys…

Aum: What more did you remember?

Dan: I was playing the music that I whistle just now and I asked the boy who’s with me to write out
the lyrics but he didn’t say a word…he just wrote it out…

Aum: Do you remember the boy’s name?

Dan: ……I don’t remember I did call his name but I…

Aum holds one of Dan’s hands.

Aum: Don’t push yourself too much it might affect you.

Dan nodded with a slight smile

Rangsit University

Bua and her friends were walking out of their university building and were waiting for Beam to come
along and fetch them.

Amy: Bua, I’m so jealous of you. From your story about your brother, I really wish to have you
brother. Unlike my brother Lift, he never cares about me. Most of the time he’ll be disturbing me with
all his stupid looks.

Bua giggled.

Fang: You are really lucky Bua. Even I wish I could have a brother like that.

Anne: Of course everyone would want a brother like that I mean according to Bua he’s really, really
cute, handsome, kind, rich…what more does a woman want in a guy? If it was me, I wouldn’t want him to be my brother but maybe my boyfriend.

Bua smiled while shooking her head.

Bua: Relax, don’t be so jealous but I have to admit he’s a really great brother.

Anne: What’s his name again?

Bua: Beam, Beam Kawee. You can call him P’Beam once his here.

Tangmo: I bet he must be really cute if not Bua won’t ask us to meet her brother right.

Everyone laugh.

Anne: Hey Bua, introduce me first to your brother. Who knows I might be able to become your future
sister in law? Besides I’m the prettiest among our gang right?

Everyone shook their head while laughing.

Anne: What?

Bua: [smile] I don’t think you’ll have the chance Anne because you see my brother is already engaged.

Amy: Engage? You never told us that?

Bua: Well none of you asked?

Fang: If your brother is really handsome he must be engaged with a really beautiful lady right?

Anne: Who is he engaged to?

Bua: You know the famous supermodel in Thailand who won the title ‘Miss Thailand’ two years ago?

Amy: You mean Kwan Usamnee?

Bua nodded.

Bua: Yes, my brother’s engaged with her Kwan Usamnee.

Fang: He is sure one lucky guy to have ‘Miss Thailand’ as his fiancée.

Anne: But I don’t think it’ll last long…

Everyone turned to Anne.

Amy: And why is that?

Anne: Because I’m going to take her place.

Everyone started laughing.

Anne: What? Can’t I have dreams? Besides who knows it’ll come true.

Bua: Not a chance! My brother loves Kwan very very much and she’s very important to him.
Sometimes I even think that he loves his fiancée more than he loves me but doesn’t matter so much

as Kwan is going to be his wife.

Suddenly three guys came and waved at them. It was Oil, Por and Cee.


Oil: Hey girls! Hey Bua!

Bua smiled to Oil. Oil and Bua had dated and became couple but it didn’t last long when Bua decided

to end up the relationship.

Por: Hey Anne!

Anne rolled her eyes. Por was in love with Anne. He proposed her so many times but every time he
did that he’ll be embarrassed by Anne to the whole university but Por never bother about it.

Cee: Hey baby!

Amy: Hi…

Cee and Amy had been coupling for almost six months from now and they’re doing great.

Oil, Por and Cee has actually been studying in this university for almost most more than five years
already but they never graduated as they don’t do well in their exams. A few minutes later while they were talking to each other, Beam came with his Mercedes Benz. Everyone was stunned.

Oil: Who is this?

Bua: My brother.

The boys looked at the car shocked. Beam went out of the car. The girls were all attracted to Beam’s
charming and handsome look. Beam smile to all of them. Bua walked towards her brother and she
kissed her brother on his cheek. Her friends were jealous, especially the boys. Beam hold Bua’s
waist.

Beam: So are they all your friends?

Bua nodded.

Bua: Let me introduce to you this is Amy, Fang, Tangmo and Anne. The guys here are Oil, Por and
Cee. They are my seniors. Guys, this is my brother P’Beam.

Beam smiled to the girls and shakes the guys’ hands. The guys were starring at Beam really seriously.

Beam: Nice meeting all of you. So who’s going to have lunch with us? All of them?

Bua: No, only the girls. The guys are going somewhere else right?

The guys were silent still observing Beam from top to his toe.

Bua: Guys…?

The guys nodded and started to act cool. Beam whispered to Bua’s ear.

Beam: Why are they starring at me like that?

Bua: You mean the girls or the guys?

Beam: I don’t mind the girls but the guys…are they gay or something.

Bua giggled.

Bua: They’re just jealous of you. For your info they’re actually older than you P’Beam.

Beam look curiously to his sister. Bua nodded.

Beam: Erm…alright then let’s not waste time and get going for our lunches now don’t we? [Smile]

Then Oil started making sounds.

Oil: Erm…sorry Beam…Beam right?

Beam nodded.

Oil: I was wondering if the three of us could join to but we’re not going on your car, we’ll follow your
car.

Beam: Well, I’ve no problem with that if Bua doesn’t mind.

Beam looked at Bua.

Bua: I don’t mind. Why not?

Anne: What? But Bua you said it was only…

Amy: I don’t mind too. Besides it’ll be more fun right?

HILTON HOTEL, Bangkok

Beam brought them to Hilton Hotel, a five star hotel to get their lunch. All of them were startled, they
didn’t expect Beam to bring them there even Bua was surprise.

Bua: P’Beam, you didn’t tell me you were…

Beam: Why? Is it not okay with you?

Bua: No of course not. I just didn’t…

Beam: Actually I’m having a meeting with a client here after lunch so my driver’s going to come and

fetch all of you back to the university okay?

Bua stopped and turned to his brother.

Bua: Can’t you send us back?

Beam holds her sisters hand.

Beam: I’m sorry but I won’t have time to. Alright?

Bua nodded. Oil was jealous.

Oil: Look at him. What kind of brother is he? He treats his own sister just like his wife!

Cee: I think its normal right?

Por: Normal?? What do you mean by that? Hello…? Didn’t you see how your girlfriend’s brother treats
her? No brother will treat their sister like that.

Cee: Really?

Oil: There’s something weird about him…

Cee: I think he’s in love with his own sister as in love love.

Por: Or maybe they are actually not siblings. Both Cee and Oil looked at Por.

Por: What? It is possible.

Oil: But they look so alike.

Cee: I think what Por said is true. Have you heard that people used to say if your face is about the
same that means you might be having a chance to live with her or in other words she’s your life
partner?

Oil was actually just jealous seeing Bua so closed to each other although he knows the fact that they
are really siblings.

They had a good lunch together. Everyone ordered a lot of food especially Por and Cee since they
knew Beam was paying for it. They talked and laughed together but Oil was playing with his food still jealous seeing how close Beam and Bua was.

Bua: Oil? Are you okay?

Oil looked and smiled at her while nodding.

Bua: You don’t seem to be okay? Isn’t the food tasty?

Beam: If there’s something wrong with the food we could ask them to change it if you want to.

Oil: No, it’s okay. I’m fine. I’m going to the washroom for a while. Excuse me.

All of them watched Oil went as they continue talking and eating.

Beam: Is there something wrong with him? Or am I bothering him?

Bua shrugged her shoulders while continue eating ignoring Oil’s reaction.

Por: Beam, if you want to know Oil is actually in love with your sister Bua and he’s jealous to see the
both of you so close to each other.

Bua accidentally chocked and started coughing when she heard Por said it.

Beam: Are you okay?

Bua drank up some water as she nodded.

Por: See Beam? It’s true right? Even Bua got chocked to hear it.

Bua starred at Por with an angry face.

Por: What?

Bua: P’Beam kha, just ignore whatever he’s saying. He’s just…

Cee: What? It is true Bua. He is in love with you. You don’t know how much Oil loves you.
Beam looked at Bua.

Beam: You never told me about this.

Bua…Well, I admit he likes me but I don’t. I’ve explained to him hundred thousand times but he just won’t give up.

Beam stood up as Bua held her brother’s hand.

Bua: Where are you going?

Beam: I’m going to see Oil.

Bua: What? Why?

Beam just went away without answering.

Por: Is that a bad sign or a good sign?

Cee: Is he going to kill Oil or is he asking Oil to ask for your hand in marriage?

Bua rolled her eyes.

Amy: Bua, what is your brother up to?

Anne: What else? It must be something to do with Oil? Doesn’t he get the fact that Bua doesn’t like
him?

Tangmo: Oh my gosh! When is he going to understand?

Fang: Bua, what is your brother doing to Oil?

Bua turned to Fang.

Bua: I don’t know. I have no idea. I never told him about Oil.

Cee: AT ALL? How sad…

Amy: Does he know that you use to date Oil then only you break up with him?

Bua shook her head.

Anne: Ouch! You’re sure in a big trouble if he finds out the truth.

Fang: Your parents allow you to date?

Bua: Actually no…not without their acknowledgement especially my brother.

Anne: You sure are in trouble once your brother find out.

Por: Hey, this is great. I mean it’s like a drama… [Laugh]

Everyone starred at Por. Por smiled.

Por: Maybe it’s not funny…

Anne: Trust me, not at all.

Bua sighed.

By the river, Chiang Mai

Aum and Dan were at the river trying to catch some fish. Aum catch the fishes with a fish cage made
up of woods, while Dan just catch the fish with her bare hands as he is very used to it. Aum watches
Dan trying to catch the fish.

Aum
‘Dan…do you love me? If you do…why don’t you express it? How long must I wait?’

Dan finally caught two fishes. He turned to Aum with a smile and a fish in each of his hand. Aum smiled back to him. Dan walked through the river water towards Aum who was standing by the side of the river.

Dan: I’ve got two! I’ll have one and another for you.

Aum shook her head.

Aum: It’s okay. I can catch other fish by my own. Besides you need more than one.

Dan: No, you can have one of this. It’s only me and my mum. We don’t eat that much.

Aum: But you can keep it for the next few days’ right?

Dan kept silent. Aum held up his face.

Aum: What if you keep the two fish for you and your mum and help me get some more fish for me and my dad. I know you want to help me right?

Dan smiled. Both of them went into the river again and started catching more fish.

Washroom in Hotel, Bangkok

Beam went into the washroom and saw Oil leaning on the corner of the washroom. Beam walked towards Oil.

Beam: We need to talk.

Oil followed Beam outside.

Beam: Tell me everything about you and my sister, Bua.

Oil: Didn’t she tell you?

Beam shook his head.

Beam: She never talks about this to me neither my parents.

Oil started telling Beam all the things that happened between him and Bua.

Beam: Do you still love my sister?

Oil nodded.

Beam: Does she still love you?

Oil: I don’t know…

Beam: Find out then. Ask her out for a date and talk to her. I’m sure I don’t need to teach you right?

Besides I’m younger than you. But if you are about to be my sister’s choice, I’m going to be your elder brother and as an elder brother I’m giving you an advice.

Oil: Are you sure? Won’t your parents be mad if they find out I asked Bua out on a date?

Beam: They won’t unless you’re the person telling them. In this love matter involving my sister, I can’t tell you much because we’ve never talked about this; all I know is that when Bua loves someone, no matter how much she hates that person her love towards that person won’t vanish. Now your task is just to find out does she really loves you or not.
Oil nodded.

Beam: One last thing. If she really loves you, I want you to graduate as soon as you can and as soon as the both of you graduate, propose her to be your wife. If she really doesn’t love you anymore…I want you to leave her alone and never meet her again. Understand?

Oil nodded. Beam walked away as Oil followed from behind. Everyone saw Oil and Beam came.

Por: They don’t seem like they had a fight.

Cee: Not at all.

Anne: Bua, I think you’re safe. Looks like Oil didn’t tell him.

Bua just look at both of them approaching towards their table with a worried face. She bit her lower lips feeling uncomfortable

Beam: I think everyone’s done right? If you’re not done better do it quick. I’m going to pay now. So once you’re done, go outside the hotel and my driver will be there to fetch you back to your university okay?

Fang: Aren’t you sending us back P’Beam?

Beam: No, I’m having a meeting in 20 minutes from now here, so I don’t think I can send you back.
Everyone nodded. Beam kissed his sister’s head and was about to go when Bua hold on to Beam’s hand.

Bua: P’Beam…

Beam turned to his sister.

Beam: We need to talk once I’m back from work okay?

Beam smiled to his sister while Bua forced her smile as she knew her brother knows everything between her and Oil.

Oil: Bua?

Bua looked up to Oil without saying a word.

Bua: I’ll wait for all of you outside the hotel. I’m going now.

They just watched Bua went away.

8.30 p.m. – Hilton Hotel

Beam was still having his meeting with his client from New York.

Mr. Anderson: I’m very pleasant and satisfied with your company’s co-operation with our company. The proposal which you’ve send us a few years ago was a brilliant idea and we had gained a lot of profit after we did the project. Your new proposal is just more brilliant than before. Of course we will accept this offer.

Beam smiled.

Beam: Thank you very much Sir for trusting my company. You can come to our company anytime within this week to sign the contract.

Mr. Anderson: Well then, I’ll be there tomorrow in the afternoon maybe? I’ll ask my secretary to inform yours.

Beam: Okay then.

Both of them shake their hands. Mr. Anderson brought out some papers and forms.

Mr. Anderson: Mr. Kawee, we would to offer you to work in our new branch company in New York as the CEO. I’ve talked among the board of directors of our company and they agreed on giving you an offer to work there as the CEO. This is also due to all your hard work and brilliant ideas and contribution to our company. We’ve also seen your company’s achievement during your establishment. You have made great profit for your company.

Beam took the papers and went through it.

Beam: I have to look through this carefully first Mr. Anderson and discuss this with my family.

Mr. Anderson: Take your time Mr. Kawee. You have three more months until you made the decision.
The contract is a minimum of three years working as a CEO there. If the board of director would want to continue you being the CEO they have the right if they don’t want to continue, they also have the right. And after the three years contract, you also have the right of not continuing if you want to.
Beam: I think it’s a great opportunity for me Mr. Anderson but I’m not sure about it since no one is going to replace me here in my company. It’s going to take some time to search for a new temporary CEO in my company.

Mr. Anderson: Mr. Kawee, you don’t have to worry about that at all. Our company has prepared
several qualified people to replace you temporarily. You can choose them for yourself.

Beam: I’ll reconsider it.

11.50 p.m. - On top of a mountain. Chiang Mai

Dan brought up Aum on top of a mountain with her eyes covered with a black cloth.

Aum: Dan, where are we? Can you be fast? I’m getting a little dizzy now.

Dan slowly opened the cloth which was covering her eyes. As Aum open her eyes, she saw candles
light up everywhere and there were rose petals covering the grass. Aum smiled and turned behind but Dan wasn’t seen anywhere. Suddenly she heard someone singing a happy birthday song. Aum turned and saw Dan holding a small cake with candles on it while singing the happy birthday song.

Aum: Dan, it’s not my birthday yet. My birthday’s tomorrow.

Dan smiled and showed her his watch. It was 11.59.

Dan: In 60 seconds it’s going to be twelve and as soon as it strikes twelve you’re going to blow your birthday candles. [Smile]

Aum blew the candles as it strikes 12 midnight. Dan smiled and cut a small piece out from the cake. Aum ate the cake with Dan on top of the mountain. They sat on the grass covered with red roses and watch the moon glows while the candle burns.

Aum: Dan, why do you this?

Dan turned to Aum as he didn’t understand her.

Aum: I mean, you’ve never done anything like this before during my birthday. Usually you would get me new clothes or go fishing and you would always be the last person to wish me happy birthday. But today…

Dan: Today’s a special day for me.

Aum: Special?

Dan nodded.

Dan: I remembered everything…everything about my past…

Aum was shocked.

Aum: You mean you know who you really are and…

Dan nodded.

Aum: But how?

Dan: Remember when I told you to wait for me at your house after we finished working at the farm?

Aum nodded.

Dan: Well, I was helping my mum to put the boxes on the cupboard when…

>>>>>>> A few hours back <<<<<<<<<<<<

Dan was busily helping his mother to put up the empty boxes on top of the cupboard when suddenly the stool which he was standing on felt shaky. He tried to balanced himself but it was too late as he fell down. His head knocked really hard on the wooden floor as blood flow out…

Dan
‘P’Beam…Bua…mum,dad…’

Part 5

>>>>>>>>>>> The Present <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

5 YEARS LATER… New York City

Beam and Aum were sleeping on their bed. Beam was hugging Aum as the alarm clock ring. Aum took out her hand and reached the alarm clock with her eyes closed. She off the alarm clock and start opening her eyes trying to look at the time. Beam started to wake up too still hugging Aum.

Beam: What time is it honey?

Aum: No worries, it’s only nine…

Both were silent…Aum woke up with her eyes widely opened and the alarm clock in her hands.

Aum: Oh no…

Beam: What’s wrong?

Aum: I’m LATE!!!

Beam: It’s okay…

Aum: No it’s not I’m not like you Beam. You have your own company.

Aum took off Beam’s arms around her waist and went into the toilet in a rush. Beam opened his eyes while rubbing it. He stretches his arms.

Beam: [sigh] that was a nice night. [Smile]

Aum shouted from the toilet.

Aum: Honey!! Can you help me get ready my clothes please!!!

Beam: Alright Baby!!!

Beam stood up and when into the closet room. He took Aum’s clothes, shoes, handbag, her make-up
tools, her files and documents, hand phones and not to forget her doctor tools. She can’t go to work
without them. Beam leaned himself onto the toilet door.

Beam: Everything’s done dear…

Aum: Thanks!

Beam took his hand phone on the side table and called his office.

Secretary: Good morning, CEO Department of LC Communication Company. I’m Rebecca Stewarts.
May I help you?

Beam: Good morning Rebecca it’s me Mr. Kawee.

Rebecca: Good morning, Mr. Kawee. Is there anything I can help you with?

Benz: Okay.

Beam: Hello Benz?

Benz: Yup it’s me here.

Beam: Can you hold up a meeting at my department for a while? Just to collect the files regarding
the proposal we’ve send to Mr. Anderson a few months before.

Benz: Has he accepted it?

Beam: It seems like he does. I’m having a meeting with his this afternoon.

Benz: Alright then no problem.

Beam hung up as Aum went out of the bathroom. Beam smiled at Aum.

Aum: Why are you smiling like that?

Beam: Why? Can’t I Just smile looking at one of the most beautiful…?

Aum: Alright, alright I get it.

Beam took his towel and went into the bathroom to get washed up while Aum get dressed up. Their
house phone rang as Aum pick up.

Aum: Hello, Patcharapa speaking.

Nurse: Hello Doctor Patcharapa? It’s me Hannah. Just to inform you that many patients are waiting
for you now in the hospital.

Aum: Erm, can you send them to Doctor Weir first please because I’m going to be a little late today.
I’ll inform him about it just connect me to his room phone please.

Weir: Hello Doctor Sukkolawat on the line.


Aum: Hello Weir, it’s me Aum. Can you handle some of my patients for a while? I’m a bit of late
today.

Weir: Okay, that’s unusual. You’re always early but today…

Aum: I’m late. Can you handle them for me till I get there please?

Weir: I’ll try best because my site is also flooding with patients.

Aum: Thanks.

Weir: You’re welcome. Tell Beam I said hi.

Aum: Sure. Bye.

Aum started combing her hair and ties it up into a bun with her fringe flowing down on one side.
Then, Beam’s phone rang.

Aum: Hello, may I know who’s on the line?

There was silence.

Aum: Hello?

Bua: Hello…

Aum: Hello…may I know who’s on the line?

Bua: Erm…I’m Bua Sonchai, sister of Beam Kawee?

Aum was shocked when Bua called.

Bua: Hello…isn’t this Beam Kawee’s phone number?

Aum didn’t know what to say.

Aum: Erm, I think you’ve got the wrong number sorry.

Aum hung up as Beam walked out of the toilet.


Aum: Beam, you sister just called.

Beam: What?

Aum: Bua called and ask about you but I said she got the wrong number.

Beam: How did she find out my phone number?

Beam sat down beside Aum.

Aum: Beam…aren’t you…I mean don’t you miss your mum, your dad and you sister. You used to tell
me that you love them very much.

Beam: I do. Until now I still love them. But after what Dan…

Aum turned her face away.

Beam: I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to say his name in front of you.

Aum: It’s okay. Dan’s just my past…

Beam: And my past too…although we were real close, I can’t accept the fact of what he did to you

Aum: Are you sure? I mean the both of you were so closed. You don’t have to make him as your past just because of what he did to me. It’s got nothing to do with you Beam.

Beam: [sigh] I love you Aum…and whoever destroys your life or hurt you…they’re doing it to me too.
Just like how Dan did. I won’t forgive that person even if he’s my own brother.

Tears started to roll down Beam’s eyes. Aum hugged Beam.

Aum: I love you too Beam. Thank for everything.

Bangkok, Thailand

11.45 p.m. – Dan’s Concert

Dan was having his Concert of the year. The crowds were cheering so loudly every time Dan
appears. They were also very supportive as they sing along the song Dan was singing.

Dan: Now I would like to invite a special guest. Someone who is really important in my life. None
other than my most beautiful and kind sister Bua Sonchai!!

Bua came out with a smile and waved at everyone as the crowds cheer. Dan holds Bua’s hand with a
smile. Bua then whispered to Dan.

Bua: I called P’Beam just now.



Dan just looked at Bua feeling startled. Dan ignored and started singing a song together with Bua
entitled ‘ying rak ther’. Dan has become a very popular singer in Thailand. While Bua takes a part time job in Beam’s company which he left in Thailand a few years ago as she works as a fashion designer in her own boutique. Now the company is under their father’s management although he’s already old.

The concert ended at 1.30 am in the morning. Dan went to the back stage after he finished his last song. He saw Bua was sitting on one side holding her hand phone. He took a mineral water and drinks it. He took another bottle and sat down beside his sister. He hand over the bottle as Bua took it.

Dan: What did he say?

Bua turned to Dan, as she didn’t believe Dan asking about Beam after what happened to the both of them three years ago.

Bua: You…

Dan: I just want to know what he said.

Bua: Nothing.

Dan: Nothing?

Bua: He didn’t answer but a woman did.

Dan: A woman? Who was it?

Bua shrugged her shoulders

Bua: I don’t know. I didn’t manage to ask. I guess it was P’Aum…sounds like her…

Dan just turns around without saying anything.

New York Hospital, New York City

Aum: I think there is some infection in his lungs, which causes him to have asthma. Because if you
want me to look at your family’s history you don’t have anyone related to you which have asthma
right?

Her patient nodded.

Aum: Alright then, you can wait outside. One of the nurses will call you and we’re going to have an x-
ray on your son’s lungs to see whether there is any infection.

Patient: Thank you doctor.

Aum: You’re welcome. [Smile]

Aum wrote the notes on the patient’s card and gave it to her nurse.

Aum: Next.

Nurse: There are no more patients Doctor. All the patients are done except for the one’s which went
for x-ray examination and blood test. And you’ll have about three appointments. First one will be in
an hour from now with Mr. Kent, 80 years old, going on his chemotherapy caused by his lung cancer.
Second is at 4.00 p.m. just a monthly check up on Mr. Brooke on his lungs and last is with Paula’s
parents, the girl which is suspected to have lung cancer this evening at 7.00 p.m.

Aum: Have you got the results from the lab regarding Paula?

Nurse: Not yet doctor. I went early this morning but it wasn’t out yet it’ll be out maybe at about 5.00
p.m. this afternoon.

Aum: Okay then. When my patients are done with their examinations come and see me. Then when
you’ve fetch the results from the lab, let me have a look at it first. Call me if I’m not around.

Nurse: Yes, doctor. One more thing is that you have to go on a general check up on your patients in
the children site. The elder’s site will be tonight.

Aum: Okay thanks.

The nurse nodded and went outside. Aum wrote some report on her patients in the computer when
Weir came in.

Weir: Hey Aum!

Aum turned to Weir and rolled her eyes.

Aum: How many times must I tell you to knock the door?

Weir ignored as he came in and sat down in front of her.

Weir: Seems like there’s no more patients around.

Aum: Ya, but I’ve got just an hour. I’m having appointment later. Why are you here?

Weir: Are you busy?

Aum: And why are you asking?

Weir: No, you see my mum is always complaining about a pain in her chest. I did some check up on
her and I’m suspecting that it might have something to do with her lungs.

Aum: Has she got any asthma signs?

Weir nodded.

Weir: Ya, I gave her the inhaler and stuff. But it just doesn’t seem to work. So I though it’s worst
than asthma.

Aum: You’re telling me that you suspect she’s having lung problem?

Weir nodded.

Weir: You know I only take care of this asthma thing but not further than that unlike you. So I was
wondering if you could spend a little bit of your time to check on my mum.

Aum: Well, I’ve no problem with that but I don’t think I can make it today because my schedule is
really full. I haven’t even started my general check up on patients yet. Why don’t you bring your
mum tomorrow to my house since it’s a public holiday? I won’t be that busy.

Weir: Doesn’t Beam mind?

Aum: He’s okay with it don’t worry.

Weir: Alright then I’ll bring her tomorrow. Somewhere around two o’clock?

Aum: [nodded] Sound good to me.

The nurse knocked on the door and enters Aum’s room.

Nurse: Doctor, this is the x-ray result regarding the lung infection.

Aum looked at the x-ray result in the light.

Weir: Looks like it does have a lot of infections.

Aum: Yup but not serious enough for me.

Aum turned to Weir.
Aum: I’ll hand it this patient to you alright?

Weir: I don’t mind.

Aum: Nurse, hand this result and the patient’s report to Doctor Weir. Ask them to see him.

Weir: In an hour please.

Aum: Give the child some dose of nebulizer and let them rest in the temporary ward.

Nurse: Do they need to stay here overnight?

Aum looked at Weir.

Weir: The infection seems to be a lot. Take the child’s blood to the lab and bring them into the normal
ward after the nebulizer.

The nurse nodded and went outside.

Weir: Since I’ve got an hour and you’ve got an hour let’s grab some breakfast at the canteen first
don’t we?

Aum: Weir…you haven’t had your breakfast yet?

Weir: Oh come on…it’s not like you have…Have you?

Weir pulled Aum’s hand as Aum followed him.

Bungalow House, New York

Beam got dressed up after Aum went to work. He went to their child’s room to wake him up.

Beam and Aum had been married for three years already and now they have a child of their own.
Their son was about three years old.

Beam: Ken, wake up! Daddy’s going to work already.

Ken rubbed his eyes as he woke up.

Ken: Where’s Mummy?

Beam: Mummy got to go to work early. Come on, I’m sending you to Nanny’s house.

Beam carried up his son as he took his son’s bag. Ken fell asleep on Beam’s shoulder once again.
Beam put his son in his sit in the car when his phone rang.

Beam: Hello?

Aum: Beam, where are you?

Beam: I’m still at home. Getting ready to send Ken to his Nanny’s house.

Aum: Alright then. Just calling to ask. Anyhow I’m coming back late today because I’m also having a
night shift so I’m not so sure I can cook dinner tonight.

Beam: It’s okay dear. I’ll handle everything. Love you.

Aum: I love you too. Bye!

Beam hung up as he drove towards his son’s Nanny’s house.

Nanny’s house

Beam carried Ken out from his car as his nanny was already waiting for Ken. Nanny is actually the
guardian of Ken. She has been taking care of Ken since he was born when Aum and Beam goes to
work.

Nanny is an American old woman whose late husband was a Thai. She is about 50-60 years old
already by now.

Nanny: Oh…he’s still asleep.

Beam smiled to her. Nanny was already old but she is still strong enough to take care of kids as she
loves them very much. She treats Aum and Beam just like her own children and Ken just like her
own grandson as she lives alone without any family.

Beam: Nanny, today I’m going to come back home a bit late so I’m not really sure what time I’m
going to pick him up.

Nanny: How about Aum?

Beam: She’s coming back lat probably later than me. I hope you don’t mind.

Nanny: It’s okay Beam. Besides Ken is already used to me.

Beam: Thanks Nanny.

Beam gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and went to work. Beam had always treat Nanny like his
own mother after he left his parents in Thailand.

LC Company

Beam was in his office looking through the files when there was a knock on his door,

Beam: Come in!

Benz comes in with a file. She sat down in front of Beam and hand over the file to him.

Benz: I just got this file after you called and yup Mr. Anderson accepted our proposal again. [Smile]

Beam smile to Benz.

Beam: That’s one great news. Isn’t it?

Benz: Ya, so what time are you having meeting with him?

Beam: Erm…in the afternoon. I’m going to have a personal meeting with him for about an hour than
we’ll have the board meeting with him.

Benz: Okay then. And here…

Benz hand over an invitation card to Beam.

Benz: It’s an invitation card from the IPTS Company. Mr. Hampton is handing over his company to
his son. So it’s sort of a farewell party. You weren’t around this morning so I took your card.

Beam: Thanks!

Benz: So, meet you during the meeting.

Beam nodded as Benz stood up when she was about to go when she stopped and turn to Beam.

Benz bend down looked at Beam into his eyes. She said in a low toned of voice.

Benz: We’ve been friends for five years…the only woman that I know you’re in love with is Aum
Patcharapa Chaichue…You never told me that you have another girl…

Beam: Whoa…wait a minute…what are you talking about? I have no other girl?!!

Benz stood up again while holding her waist with one hand and the other on the table. She rose up
one of her eyebrows.

Benz: Really? Than who’s that?

Benz turned towards the door when a beautiful woman came in.

Bee: Beam! [Smile]

Beam was really shocked to see Bee. Bee is a friend of his when he first came to New York. Bee had
fallen in love with him but Beam never cares about it.

Beam: Bee??!

Benz turned back to Beam.

Benz: So, you don’t know her huh?

Beam was speechless.

New York Hospital

After having breakfast with Weir, Aum started her routine of going to her patients’ rooms for general
check up. When she walking out to get back to her room she met Weir on the way.

Weir: Hey! Just finished you rooms?

Aum nodded. Both of them went into the same lift.

Weir: Hey, I just found out Dan’s doing a world tour concert.
Aum turned to Weir with a serious face. Weir turned to Aum.

Weir: I…I’m sorry…I didn’t mean too…

Aum: Is he coming to New York?

Weir: huh?

Aum: I’m asking you is Dan coming to New York?

Weir: I’m not so sure but maybe…

The lift door opened. Aum was about to walk away when Weir stopped her.

Weir: Wait! Sorry if I ask why do you want to know?

Aum: You know what he did to me, Weir.

Weir: So? Aum, you must know something about that although it has been three years you must
know that Dan’s actually…

Aum: Weir please! I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Please…I’m happy now living with Beam and
our son, and I don’t want to lose this happiness. I was just hoping that Dan wouldn’t come here. After
all New York isn’t that big. I might just bump into him anytime. At least if I know when he’s coming I could avoid him.

Weir: Sorry.

Aum: It’s okay.

Aum walked away as Weir let out a breathe of air as a sign of relieve.

Weir: Really hate it when her blood pressure comes high up…luckily she didn’t burst out of madness
just now… [Sigh]

LC Company

Bee came into Beam’s office with a smile. She immediately went to Beam and hugged him. Beam
was really shocked. It has been years since he met Bee. Benz rolled her eyes as she was about to
walk away when Beam stopped her.

Beam: Benz wait!

Benz turned to Beam. Beam let off Bee’s arm around him.

Beam: Bee what are you doing here?

Bee: Beam, where’s our engagement ring why aren’t you wearing it?

Benz was shocked to hear about it.

Benz: Engagement ring? Whoa…you sure are in trouble Beam. I’m so going to tell Aum about this.

Beam: What? Why? I mean…No!

Bee: Who’s Aum?

Benz: Beam! Why are you doing this to Aum? I though you loved her! She’s my best friend so there’s
nothing you can do from stopping me to do this.

Bee: What? Love? Beam, who is Aum?

Beam was stuck in between the conversation.

Benz: So, you want to know who Aum is.

Beam: Benz…please I can explain it to her you…

Benz: Just shut your mouth Beam. I can’t believe you would do this to my best friend. No way am I
letting you hurt her. Listen here you b*tch!!

Bee: What?!! What did you call me?

Benz: Just listen here. Aum is my best friend. And my best friend, Aum is Beam’s WIFE!

Beam was getting confused and speechless.

Bee: Wife?

Bee was speechless.

Benz: Let me tell you one more thing that my just open your eyes woman. Your so called fiancée
here is now living happily together with my best friend Aum. And do you know how long they’ve been
living together in one house, one room and sleeping in one bed, sharing the same bathroom? Three
years my dear, there years and now they’ve already have a son of their own whose name is Ken Tanjararak.

Bee was shocked her heart was somehow filled with pain when she hears Benz explaining it while

Beam was stunned.

Bee: Is this true? What she said?

Beam nodded.

Bee: So, you don’t love me anymore.

Beam: Bee, I’ve always told you that I treat you just as a friend and not more than that.

Bee: You haven’t answered my question. You don’t love me anymore?

Beam: Never. Not even a second…

Bee started crying.

Beam: Bee…

Beam was about to hold her hand when Bee went away from him.

Bee runs out of the office. Beam was about to chase her when Benz get hold of his arm.

Benz: Where are you going?

Beam: Benz, you shouldn’t have said that to her. She doesn’t know anything…

Benz: Well, if I don’t tell her now…you’re never going to tell her about this right? I know you so well

Beam. You wouldn’t want to hurt a woman’s feeling.

Beam: But you should have told her in a nice way. She’s a very kind woman.

Benz: Oh, I see. So, you’re choosing her over Aum?

Beam: What? No!

Benz: Whatever Beam. Now that she’s gone. Let her be.

Beam sighed as he felt bad hurting Bee’s feeling as she had been really kind to him.

Part 6

Nanny’s House

10.00 p.m.

Beam reached Nanny’s house to fetch his son. Beam rang the doorbell and then a young woman opened it. Beam didn’t recognize the woman. He had never seen her in Nanny’s house before.

Yui: Who are you?

Beam: Erm…I’m Beam. Beam Kawee.

Yui: You’re Thai.

Beam nodded.

Yui: Well, I’m Thai too.

Beam: Erm, is Nanny in? I’m here to fetch my son, Ken.

Yui: So, you’re Ken’s father.

Beam nodded.

Yui: Come in they’re inside.

Beam went into the house without realizing Yui was getting attracted to him.

Nanny: Beam, you’re here

Beam smiled to Nanny and gave her a hug.

Nanny: Where’s Aum? She’s not here?

Beam shook her head.

Beam: She’s still working. She might come back from the hospital early in the morning tomorrow.

Nanny: It must be really hard for her to divide her time between her carrier, husband and son right?

Beam just smiled.

Nanny: Ken is already asleep in the room. Have you eaten?

Beam shook his head.

Nanny: Why didn’t you tell so, I’ve still got some food. Come on let’s eat first. You seem really tired.

Beam: No it’s okay Nanny…

Nanny: Beam, I’ve never had any children. You, Aum and Ken are like my own family. So, I don’t want you to be shy with me. Come on; let’s eat besides Aum isn’t around right? She won’t be able to cook for you.

Beam followed Nanny to the dining table.

Nanny: Beam, let me introduce to you, this is my niece from Thailand. Her name is Yui Jiranan.

Beam smiled to her as Yui smiled shyly to Beam. Yui was falling in love with Beam.

Nanny: Yui this is Beam. He’s just like my own son. Go and prepare the food in the kitchen for Beam.

Yui nodded and went into the kitchen. At the same time, she was also trying to hear what Beam and Nanny were talking about.

Nanny: Yui is here just to accompany me while she looks for work. She just graduated from her university in Thailand and decided to work here.

Beam: What course did she graduate in?

Nanny: Law. Do you know any company which hires new lawyer?

Beam: I’m not really sure about that because in New York, the people here don’t actually hire lawyers from outside countries, unless they really trust that person. But I’ll try asking my friends who might just be interesting in hiring a Thai lawyer.

Nanny nodded.

Nanny: So, how are you and Aum?

Beam: We’re doing fine, happy as always although we do fight really frequent these days.

Nanny: Fight? Regarding what?

Beam: Just some small issue. Nothing serious.

Yui was really interested in knowing Beam’s life.

After having a light dinner Beam took Ken home.

Bungalow House, New York

Beam carried his son out from the car as he saw Aum’s car driving in. Aum went out of her car with a smile. She walked towards her husband and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek. She runs through her fingers in her son’s hair.

Beam: You’re early, I though you’ll be back early in the morning.

Aum: [smile] I finished earlier than expected. Have you eaten?

Beam nodded.

Beam: Yup at Nanny’s house. Her niece cooks for me.

Aum: Niece? I didn’t know she has a niece.

Beam: She said her niece just got back from Thailand and trying to search for work here regarding law.

Aum: Really? What’s her name?

Beam: If I’m not mistaken it was Yui.

Aum: Alright then let go in. It’s kind of cool out here.

Both of them when into their house with their son.

Beam – Aum Room

Aum put her head on Beam’s arm as she holds his waist.

Aum: How was your day?

Beam: Something sort of happen today.

Aum looked up to her husband.

Beam: Remember Bee? An old friend of mine?

Aum nodded.

Beam: She came to my office today.

Aum: She came to your office? I though she’s in Thailand?

Beam: Same with me.

Aum: Did you tell her?

Beam: Not me. Benz did.

Aum: Benz?

Beam: She though Bee was my girlfriend and I was having another relationship behind you. You know how much she cares about you right?

Aum: I know…what happens next?

Beam: She ran out with tears.

Aum: You didn’t run after her?

Beam: I wanted to but Benz didn’t allow me.

Aum: [sigh] she must be really upset.

Beam: I hope not. So how was yours?

Aum: Busy but Weir told me that…Dan…

Beam: Dan?

Aum nodded.

Aum: Dan…He’s coming to New York for a concert.

Beam: Oh…He must be really popular now. It has been always his dream to become a singer.

Aum: Yours too isn’t it?

Beam: It was…but I have to take care of my dad’s feeling too right?

Aum: Beam…

Beam: Let’s just not talk anything about my family okay?

Aum: Okay…well, Weir is coming with his mother tomorrow.

Beam: Weir?

Aum: Honey…I know you don’t really like him being around but he has been my friend since we were in Chiang Mai I can’t just…

Beam: Why is he coming with his mother?

Aum: His mother’s ill and he doesn’t know what’s wrong so he asked me to have a checkup. I can’t do it at the hospital since I’m busy so I though it’ll be okay if he just bring her here. It’s okay with you right?

Beam: Sure why not. By the way I’m having my annual company dinner in two weeks time.

Aum: Really?

Mansion House, Bangkok, Thailand

In the morning…

Both Dan and Bua were already awake as they are having a photo shoot today for Dan’s new album. They walked down the stairs talking and laughing. Bua gave a quick kiss on her father’s cheek.

Bua: Morning dad!

Dan: Morning dad!

Dan and Bua sat beside their father. Dan looked around as Bua prepared the breakfast.

Dan: Dad where’s mum?

Mr. Thavid: She’s still in her room. Not sure what she’s doing. By the way Bua, are you free in the afternoon?

Bua: Yup, why?

Mr. Thavid: We’re having a board meeting. Hope to see you there.

Bua: Sure why not.

Dan: Erm…I’m going to check on mum.

Bua and Mr. Thavid nodded as they had their breakfast.

Dan knocked on his mother’s room door and opens it slowly. He saw his mother by the window sitting without realizing Dan coming in. Dan walked towards his mother when he realized there were tears rolling down her cheeks. Dan sat opposite his mother.

Dan: Mum…are you okay?

Mrs. Ta turned to Dan and hugged him. Dan saw Beam’s photo on the frame she was holding.

Dan: P’Beam…

Mrs. Ta let go off Dan as he look at the photo and touch it.

Mrs. Ta: It has been three years since he left. He never called or come back. Did I hurt him that much? I miss him. I miss Beam.

Tears were rolling down again.

Dan: Mum, if it wasn’t because of me this wouldn’t have happened.

Mrs. Ta shook her head.

Mrs. Ta: No it’s not because of you Dan. It’s not even because of Beam. It’s me. I shouldn’t have done that to him.

Dan: Mum…don’t worry, I’m sure P’Beam will come back. He loves you very much.

Dan holds his mother’s hand as he wiped away her tears. Dan reminds her of Beam when he Dan wasn’t around.

*Flashback*

Mrs. Ta was sitting on the crouch with tears while holding Dan’s picture when he was a kid. Beam approached his mother and kneeled down in front of her.

Beam: Are you okay mum?

Beam saw Dan’s picture. Beam hold his mother’s hand and wiped her tears.

Beam: Don’t worry mum, Dan will come back…I’m sure of that.

Beam hugged his mother

*End of Flashback*

Mrs. Ta: Dan, you want to know something? When you weren’t around, Beam was always the one who would come to me and say ‘don’t worry mum, Dan will come back…I’m sure of that’. But now…you’re the one saying that to me. One thing Beam never told me was that he’s the one leaving the house after you come back…

Dan: Mum…

Mrs. Ta holds Dan’s hands tightly.

Mrs. Ta: Dan promise me just promise me that you will never ever leave this house anymore, no matter whether Beam is back or not. Promise me…

Dan nodded.

Dan: I promise mum…

Photo Shoot Session

Dan and Bua were having a photo shoot for Dan’s album promotion.

Cameraman: Dan smile! Alright…One two three… Great! Next outfit…

Dan wasn’t in the mood of taking photos. Bua sat beside her brother.

Bua: {sigh] something wrong? You don’t seem to be in the mood.

Dan turned to her sister and face towards her.

Dan: You know where is P’Beam living now?

Bua was startled with Dan’s question.

Bua: Well, all I know is that he’s living in New York and he’s working in a company called LC Company. Why?

Dan: My tour concert will start in New York maybe when we get there we can spend a little of our time to find him.

Bua: Huh?

Dan: Ya…

Bua: You’ve forgiven him?

Dan: He didn’t do anything wrong. It was me. P’Beam…I’m just worried about mum.

Bua: Mum…

Dan: Ya, maybe we didn’t realized it but she has been crying a lot lately and she missed P’Beam…

Bua: I miss him too.

Bua put her head on Dan’s shoulder as Dan pat her head.

Bungalow House, New York City

Beam couldn’t sleep that night. He woke up and saw Aum sleeping comfortably.

Beam

‘You must be really tired’

Beam kissed his wife’s forehead and went outside to the balcony. Breathing the night breeze.

Beam: Mum…I miss you, Dad…Bua…

*Flashback*

Beam walked up and knocked on his sister’s door room but there was no answer. He went and his sister wasn’t on the bed. Suddenly someone hop on to his shoulders from behind

Bua: good morning P’Beam!!

Beam turned to his shoulder and smiled to his younger sister.

Beam: You’re early today.

Bua let go off her brother’s shoulder and spin around with her school uniform.

Beam: Come on let’s go and have breakfast.

Bua faced turned sad.

Beam: Now, what’s wrong?

Bua: P’Beam ka…my legs hurts so much; I don’t think I have the energy to walk down.

Beam smiled to his sister. Bua had been really pampered by Beam after Dan left.

Beam: Alright…

Beam carried her sister.

Beam: Are you feeling happy now princess?

Bua smiled to her brother.

Bua: Very pleasant my charming brother. I love you so much!!

Bua kissed his brother’s cheek with her hands around his neck.

Beam: I love you too.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Beam carried Bua downstairs as Mrs. Ta watches them.

Mrs. Ta: Bua…how many times must I tell you not to burden you brother like that!!

Beam put Bua down. Bua just look down. Beam walked toward his mother.

Beam: Mum, I ‘m used to it. Besides, I don’t think there’s anything wrong because nowadays I’m really busy and I don’t really get the chance to see Bua every day.

Mr. Thavid: Beam, your mother is just jealous that you treat your sister better than you treat her.

Mrs. Ta starred at her husband. Beam smiled and hugged his mother around her neck from behind.

Beam: Mum, in this world there’s five people I love the most. You, dad, Dan and Bua!

Bua smiled and sat beside her mother. Bua hugged her mother.

Bua: Hear that mum? I’m 4th on his list!

Beam: What number you are doesn’t matters because my love towards all of you is the same.

All of them hugged each other. Mrs. Ta kissed both her children. Mr. Thavid was really happy to see his family happy.

*End of Flashback*

Beam starred at the stars as his eyes were watery.

*Flashback*

Dan: P’Beam has you ever thought of what you’re going to become when you grow up?

Beam stayed silence.

Beam… I don’t know but for sure Dad wants us to take over his company so we might be engineers.

Dan: Engineer…what kind of engineer?

Beam: Electrical I guess.

Dan stayed silent.

Dan: But I don’t think I want to become an engineer.

Beam: Why not?

Dan: Think about it P’Beam both of us has got talents in singing and creating songs. Everyone loves our song when they hear it. Mum, dad, Bua and others. We could become singers. We can create a boy band of our own.

*End of Flashback*

Beam

‘Dan…why am I still thinking of you after what you did to Aum…which even effect me? Why? Even mum….because of you but I’m still thinking of you…Why?’

Beam closed his hand tightly. Aum saw Beam at the balcony. She went to hugged him from behind.

Beam turned to his wife.

Beam: Did I wake you up?

Aum shook her head.

Aum: I just felt that you weren’t there so I came here…I can’t sleep without my hubby… [Smile]

Beam smiled as he carries Aum up.

Beam: Let’s go to sleep.

Both of them smiled at each other.

The next morning….

Aum woke up early to prepare breakfast. Beam was still sleeping on his bed when his phone rang. He picks up and talked in a sleepy voice.

Beam: Hello…

Bua: …P’Beam…

Beam’s eyes were bright opened feeling shocked. He recognized the voice.

Beam: Bua…

Bua’s eyes were turning red.

Bua: P’Beam…

Beam didn’t know what to say so he hung up. He didn’t want Bua to know where he is now although he has been dying to talk to her.

Bua: P’Beam! Don’t hang up! P’Beam!!

[aumoilfan]

Part 7

Mansion House, Bangkok, Thailand

Bua was sitting on the chair at the balcony with the soft night breeze blowing her long straight black hair. Dan enters her room quietly starring at his sister. Bua was still holding her hand phone. Dan walked towards her and sat on the floor next to her chair.

Dan: You miss him right?

Bua turned and saw her brother, Dan sitting down on the floor looking at the dark sky. She leaned her head on the chair and put her legs up onto the chair.

Bua: You know something P’Dan, when we were kids you’ve always been the one who cares about me. At that time P’Beam was so quiet. Although I knew he cares about me but I don’t feel it at all. Then, when you went missing P’Beam changed. His attitude was so different. He became so funny, caring and kind. When you’re not around he’s the one who took care and be with me at all times. Sometimes I have to admit that he makes me feel that I have only one brother which is him.

Dan turned to his sister, a little bit of shocked.

Bua: Twelve years, P’Beam was with me. We became so close. When you came back everyone was surprise and happy at the same time. Especially P’Beam. I’ve never seen him so happy in his life other than meeting you again P’Dan. But his heart broke after he finds out that you and P’Aum were in love.

Dan: What?

Bua: He doesn’t have to tell me even a single word. I can see it for myself every time you and P’Aum were together P’Dan. In his eyes you can truly see his sadness and pain although he seemed to be happy outside.

Dan kept quiet.

Bua: Remember the song which you and P’Beam had created? When you were not around…he spends his time late at night trying to finish it but it didn’t work. After you came he tried to but you were too busy spending time with P’Aum. So he tried to finish it by himself and again it didn’t work. He gave up.

Dan’s eyes were turning red and were flooding with tears but he was forcing them not to come out.

Dan: Bua…can we not talk about this? I know everything already. You don’t have to repeat it.

Bua: I’m not repeating P’Dan…I’m just remembering those last moments of us with P’Beam and P’Aum. What you did to P’Aum was terrible although you weren’t really yourself at that time. And how strong P’Beam’s love towards P’Aum that he rather break the relationship of his own brother…and how mum loves you so much that she’s willing to let go of her own real son for her stepson…Three years…I still remember everything…so clearly

Not only Bua but even Dan couldn’t forget what happened three years ago but it all begins not only three years before but five years before….

>>>>>>>>>>> The PAST <<<<<<<<<<<<<<

5 YEARS BEFORE…

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Dan told Aum everything he remembered about his past.

Aum: So you’re telling me that Aunty Yam is your real mother?

Dan nodded.

Aum: But why didn’t she say so or she didn’t know?

Dan: I don’t know why didn’t she tell me but I know she knows that I’m her son because I was still wearing the chain she gave me and my stepsiblings.

Aum: Chain…

Aum just stares at Dan. Dan sighed.

Dan: I wonder how they are now. Do they still remember me?

Dan shook his head and turned to Aum.

Dan: I have something for you. Dan took out a small box from his pocket.

Dan: Open it.

Aum opened the box and saw two silver rings. Aum was shocked as she looked up to Dan.

Dan: Read what does it says on each of the ring.

Aum: Dan…Aum…

Dan took the rings.

Dan: The one with my name on it is yours while the one with your name on it is mine. I want you to wear it at all times so that you won’t forget me and I won’t forget you.

Dan took Aum’s hand and put the ring through her finger. Aum was really happy. Dan wore the other ring.

Aum: Dan…

Dan put his finger to her lips.

Dan: I want to tell you something. I’ve always wanted to tell you about this but…the words just…

Aum: What is it Dan?

Dan: I…I…I…

Aum: Dan, tell me. Say it.

Dan: I…I…

Aum was waiting for Dan to say those words.

Dan: I…

Aum: I WHAT??!!

Dan: I just wanted to tell you that your dad is a very nice person!!

Aum: Huh?

Dan: Ya that was what I wanted to tell you.

Aum: oh….

Aum was silent.

Dan
‘Dan what are you doing? You’re supposed to tell her that you love her not... Burgh…’

Dan turned his face away from Aum feeling ashamed. Aum was feeling a bit hurt after all her hopes.

Aum
‘Maybe he never loves me at all…Maybe he treats me just like his sister or just a friend…’

Bangkok, Thailand

Kwan’s House

Beam opens his car door for his fiancée with a smile.

Kwan: Thanks for the wonderful dinner. [Smile]

Kwan kissed Beam’s cheek and was about to walk away when Beam grabbed hold of her hand.

Beam: Wait! I have something for you.

Kwan turned with a smile as Beam took something out of his coat. It was a heart shaped box. Beam opens it and there was a diamond ring. Kwan was shocked.

Beam: Will you marry me?

Kwan was stunned as smile appeared in her face. Kwan nodded as Beam smiled. He took the ring and put it through her finger. Beam kissed Kwan’s hand.

Beam: I love you.

Kwan hugged Beam.

Beam: My parents are coming tomorrow to meet your parents if you don’t mind. I told them to arrange for our marriage.

Kwan nodded and smiled.

Kwan’s Room

Kwan threw her handbag down as she threw herself on the bed. She looks at the ring Beam gave her.

Kwan: Beam…I’m sorry…I’m sorry I had to lie…We can’t get married…We just can’t…

Kwan took off the ring with a sigh. Kwan’s phone rang.

Kwan: Hello.

Vee: Hey baby!

Kwan: Hi! I miss you Vee. But we’ve got an issue here.

Vee: Issue?

Kwan: Yup, Beam just proposed me to marry him and I accept it.

Vee: What? Why did you accept? You could deny it!

Kwan: I can’t help it! You know how Beam treats me. He’s just to kind and nice to me. I can’t hurt his feeling.

Vee: Why don’t you just tell him that you don’t love him anymore?

Kwan: I can’t. Beam is a really nice guy and I don’t think I can see him hurt…

Vee: So, what are we going to do now?

Kwan: Whatever it is we must tell him the truth about us. He’s bringing his parents along tomorrow and I want you to be there with me and tell him the truth about us.

Vee: I have no problem with that.

Kwan: I’ll wait for you. I love you Vee.

Bangkok City

Beam was driving his car with a smile. Feeling really happy after proposing Kwan to be his wife and how Kwan accepted it. He on the radio really loud feeling excited at the same time. When he was about to turn into a corner, a little boy cross the road. Beam stopped the car with a shocked. He went out to help the boy.

Beam: Nong, are you okay?

The boy stood up and looks up to Beam. The boy was tanned and he reminds Beam of Dan when he was a kid.

Beam: Dan…

Woman: Pho! Are you okay?

The woman came and hugged her son.

Beam: Erm…I’m sorry aunty I didn’t mean to…

Woman: It’s okay it wasn’t your fault.

The woman walked away with her son as Beam watched them.

As he was driving he remembered about Dan.

*Flashback*

Beam stood there still in shocked. He walked slowly towards Dan and kneels down. He touched his forehead. Both of his parents looked up at Beam.

Beam: Dan…wake up. You must be strong. Wake up…

His parents were startled. They had never heard him talk before. They knew he only talk to Dan and Bua but Beam had never talked to them in front of his parent. Mrs. Ta was happy to hear Beam talk. That was the first time his parents hear him talking. She touched Beams cheek with tears rolling down.

Beam looked up to his mother in silence,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Doctor: Dan is alright. He’s stable already and we just have to wait for him to wake up in about a few more hours since we gave him a sleeping pill for him to get some rest. But there’s something you need to know.

Mr. Thavid: What is it doctor?

Mrs. Ta: There’s nothing wrong with my son right?

Doctor: I’m afraid so.

The doctor shows the x-ray result of Dan’s head.

Doctor: as you can see here, Dan’s head had a really hard knock and since he is still a small kid his head is easily injured. We did some test on him and we found out that he might have lost his memory.
Mrs. Ta started to cry while Mr. Thavid tried to comfort her. Beam was shocked. He went out from the doctor’s room and run towards his brother’s room. He opened the door slowly and walked slowly into the room towards Dan’s bed. He was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed and wires all over. Beam sat down beside his bed.

Beam: Dan…wake up. I’m sure you’ll still remember me right?

Beam’s eyes turned red.

*End of Flashback*

Beam
‘Dan where are you? Twelve years had passed but you’re still not at home. When are you coming back? When? I’m getting married soon…Dan, are you still alive? If you are why aren’t you back yet?’

Mansion House, Bangkok

Beam locked his car and went into his house. As he enters the living room he saw his mother on the crouch holding Dan’s picture. He went and sat beside his mother. Mrs. Ta smiled when he saw Beam. Beam kissed his mum’s cheek.

Beam: Why aren’t you asleep yet? It’s past midnight already.

Mrs. Ta: And why are you so late?

Beam: [Smile] I proposed Kwan to marry me and…she accept it.

Mrs. Ta smiled to her son and she rubbed his hair.

Mrs. Ta: I’m proud of you.

Tears were rolling down her cheeks.

Beam: Mum, why are you crying?

Mrs. Ta: I’m just…I feel like I’m losing one more son…

Beam: Mum, what are you talking about? You won’t lose me even if I’m married. I’m staying here with you mum.

Mrs. Ta nodded as she hugs Beam. Beam was getting worried seeing his mother’s condition. He knew Mrs. Ta missed Dan very much.

Mrs. Ta: Beam, thank you. Thank you for always being with me. Although Dan’s not around, at least I still have you. Remember how Dan always makes fun and cheer all of us up?

Beam nodded. Mrs. Ta started talking about Dan as Beam listen. Beam was never tired listening to his mum although she always talks about Dan.

Beam – Dan’s Room

Beam enters his room and on the lights when he saw Bua sleeping on his bed with a book. Beam shook his head looking at his sister’s attitude. He took the blanket and covers her up as he didn’t want to wake her up. He put the book aside and sat beside her as he swipe her hair from her face.

Beam
‘You would always wait for me when I say we need to talk right? Sorry I’m home late today. Shouldn’t have make you wait.’

Beam kissed his sisters forehead and went to change into his pyjamas. Beam decided to sleep on Dan’s bed which was on the other side of the room. Beam sat on Dan’s bed which reminds him a lot about Dan. He saw the papers of song lyrics which Dan had created and left.

Beam: Dan…do you still remember me? Mum? Dad? Bua? [Sigh]

The next day…

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Aum as usual was working at the plantation collecting corns when Aunty Yam came.

Yam: Aum, have you seen Dan?

Aum: Dan? Isn’t he at home sleeping?

Yam: No, he hasn’t come home yesterday.

Aum: What? Why? I mean after we met yesterday he’s the one whom send me home.

Yam: Did anything happen last night?

Aum: Erm…we just celebrate my birthday.

Yam: Really? Can you help me search for him I’m getting worried.

Aum: Aunty Yam, can I ask you something?

Yam: Sure. What is it my dear?

Aum: Your full name is Phayampha and you used to get married with Mr. Thavid….

Yam was startled when she heard Aum

Aum: And later on you got divorced…you left your son Dan Worawech together with your stepchildren Beam Kawee and Bua Sonchai. You even gave them a chain each with their name letters. Am I right?

Yam: How did you know all this?

Aum: [gulp] Well last night, Dan told me that he remembered everything including you. He told me everything.

Yam was shocked as she kept silent.

Aum: Aunty Yam, you did know that the boy Dan you’re living now is your son right, because he still wore the chain you gave him but why didn’t you told us the truth from the beginning?

Yam was speechless.

Yam: How did Dan remember all this?

Aum: He said, he fell off the stool when he was helping you to put up the boxes on top of a cupboard. He knocked his head on the floor and his memory came back.

Yam: Looks like there’s no reason for me to hide it anymore if Dan already knows about it.

Aum: But...why did you hide it from us?

Yam: I…I just wanted to stay with my son and grow him up…

Aum: But why did you left Dan with his father when you were divorced?

Yam: I have my own reasons Aum. It’ll take a long time to explain. What’s important now is we need to search for Dan. He’s missing.

Aum nodded. Aum and Yam went to search for Dan. They even asked for the villagers help. Aum went to their best friend’s house.

Aum: Weir! Are you in there!

Weir’s sister Nong Cha came out.

Aum: Cha, can you call your brother for me?

Cha: Sure P’Aum!

Weir came out in his short pant with mud all over his shirt.

Aum: Whoa, what happen to you?

Weir: I just got back from the farm. The cows were horrible.

Aum: Whatever. Have you seen Dan?

Weir: Dan? Isn’t he with you?

Aum: No, he’s not. Aunty Yam said that he didn’t go home last night.

Weir: Wait a minute. Did he tell you something last night?

Aum: Tell something? Tell what? That he remembered everything?

Weir: No! Not that! I mean did he tell you something else?

Aum: Oh…well, he told me that my dad was nice person?

Weir hit his head with his hand.

Weir: Stupid guy why is he so afraid of telling her that he likes her! [Mumbling]

Aum: Huh?

Weir smiled to Aum.

Weir: Nothing. Erm…why don’t I help you search for him?

Aum nodded as Weir came out from his house and start searching for Dan

Kwan’s Mansion House

Beam’s parents came along with Beam to meet Kwan’s parents to talk about their marriage. Bua came along as it was a public holiday.

Mr. Vaitha: We don’t have any problem as long as Kwan agrees.

Mrs. Vaitha: That’s true. Besides, I’ll be really glad to have a son in law like Beam.

Everyone was smiling when Kwan came in the house with Vee holding her hand. Everyone look at them. Beam stood up with a smile and walked towards Kwan. He took her hands from Vee.

Beam: Let’s have a seat. Our parents are talking about our marriage. All of them had agreed.

Kwan pulls her hands off Beam’s. Beam couldn’t understand Kwan’s reaction.

Kwan: There’s something that everyone needs to know.

Beam: Kwan what is it? Who is he?

Vee: I’m Kwan’s future husband, Vee Veeraparb.

Beam and everyone were shocked. Beam turned to Kwan but Kwan put her face down not daring to look at Beam’s face.

Beam: Kwan…what’s happening? I want to hear it from you…

Vee: You don’t have to. She doesn’t love you. She loves me.

Beam was even more shocked. Beam punched Vee on his face. Everyone in the house was shocked. Bua ran towards her brother and stopped him.

Bua: P’Beam stop!

Kwan helped Vee.

Kwan: Are you alright?

Beam was surprised to see Kwan’s reaction. Beam got mad. He pulls off his arm from Bua’s hand and started punching Vee even worst. Everyone was panicked.

Bua: P’Beam!

Beam’s parents: Beam! Stop it!

Kwan’s parents: Beam! Calm down!

Beam ignored them as he punched Vee. Tears were rolling down Kwan’s cheek. Beam grabbed hold of Vee’s collar.

Beam: Don’t ever talk nonsense if you don’t know anything. Kwan loves me just as much as I love her and nothing can change that. She’s my fiancée and we’ll be married soon. So, I’m the one who’s going to be her husband NOT YOU!

Beam punched Vee again as Vee started laughing.

Vee: Dream on stupid!

Beam was about to punch him again when Kwan came in front of Vee defending him. Beam was totally shocked.

Kwan: Stop it Beam! Stop it!

Tears were running down her cheeks.

Beam: Kwan?

Kwan: You want to hear the truth from me? I’ll tell you and everyone here. Beam…I don’t love you anymore! Not anymore!

Beam’s heart was clashing like broken glass.

Kwan: Face the truth Beam! I don’t love you anymore! I did love you when we were at university together but later on when I met Vee, I realized that I don’t love you anymore. I love Vee.

Beam was speechless.

Kwan: I...I wanted to tell you. But the way you treat me…I just can’t…I didn’t want to hurt you but when you ask me for your hand in marriage I can’t let it be because I’m not in love with you anymore.

Bua: If you didn’t love him why did you engaged with him?

Bua was getting furious with Kwan. She used to like Kwan very much because she’s a really nice woman.

Kwan: I didn’t want to hurt him. I don’t want t hurt you Beam. The way you treat me…Never in my life has a guy treat me that way…so kind and understanding…but the fact is that I love Vee and not you. I’m sorry…You’re just like a big brother to me now…

Everyone was in silence. Bua walked towards Kwan and slapped her face. Everyone was shocked especially Beam.

Bua: You’re evil! You’ve hurt my brother more. If you’ve told him earlier, he won’t hurt this much. I hate you. Whoever hurts my brother’s feeling hurts mine to.

Kwan let her face down. Beam couldn’t stop his tears from flowing, he loved Kwan so much. He walked pass them as he grab Bua’s hand walking out from the house.

Kwan: Wait!

Beam and Bua stop. Kwan walked towards Beam and hand over the ring Beam gave him. Beam turned and saw the ring. He took it slowly and looks at Kwan’s face. Not with hatred but with love. Kwan knew Beam would never be mad with her because she knew how much he loved her. Tears flow down his cheek. Kwan turned away as she’s not willing to see Beam’s tears.

Beam let go off Bua’s hand and walked closer towards Kwan. He holds her hands. Kwan looked up to Beam with tears.

Beam: I love you. I don’t mind if you don’t. I just hope that you’ve made the right choice and I hope you and Vee will live happily together. Thanks for telling the truth. If you really treat me as your brother now…as a brother I hope you are happy with your decision.

Bua was shocked with Beam’s words. She didn’t understand why her brother wasn’t mad at her at all. Beam kissed Kwan’s hand and forehead for the last time. As tears flow down their eyes.

Beam: I love you.

Kwan nodded and hugs him.

Kwan: Thanks for understanding. I’m sorry for everything I did.

Beam let go off Kwan and took Bua’s hand as they walked out together followed by their parents.
Beam sat in the car by the window looking outside with tears. Bua sat closer to her brother and laid her head on his shoulder while holding his arm.

Beam turned to Bua as she smiled to him. Beam patted her head as he looks out the window. Everyone was worried about Beam as he loves Kwan very much and what Kwan did to him was unacceptable.

*Flashback*

Beam and Kwan were lying down on Beam’s car while starring at the stars.

Beam: Kwan…

Kwan turned to Beam.

Beam: Thanks.

Kwan: Thanks?

Beam: Thanks for loving me just like how I love you.

Kwan smiled to Beam and kissed him on the cheek. She pinched his nose with a smile.

Kwan: How can I not love a handsome and understanding guy like you?

Beam smiled to her as Kwan lay her head in his arms.

*End of Flashback*

Tears flow down Beam’s cheek. He took out his phone and dialed a number. Bua and their parents just watched.

Beam: Hello, cancel all my meetings for this week. Hand everything to my assistant I won’t be coming to the office for this week.

Bua and her parents were startled

Mr. Thavid: Beam, why aren’t you going to your office?

Beam stayed silent not answering his father.
