12. Never bring topic about him

Before entering into the car, Singto says, "Okay! Keep in mind never bring up a topic about him. Call me tomorrow. I will come along with you to meet that girl. It is not safe to meet a girl who is chased by thugs."

Gammon says with a smile, "Okay Bro! I will call you tomorrow." His heart feels light at having Singto forgive him and even lighter at knowing that he will see Emma again. They both go to their respective houses.

************

Jack wakes up when the clock flashes at 8 P.M. He wakes Sophia and looks at his phone to discern whether or not he received any call from Emma. As his phone is dead, he leaves it to charge.

Sophia says, "Day by day we are becoming older and older. See how we sleep when Emma is in danger?"

Jack says, "Uhmm! We may be sleeping because we are so used to sleeping in New York time." They refresh and order for a meal.

************

In the oddly named Love Nest Mansion where Singto resided. Singto reaches his house and he smells a nice aroma of Tom Yum Goong(Thai soup). He smiles and goes to the kitchen. He sees his mom is cooking his favorite soup.

He hugs her and says, " Mae! When did you reach home?"

His mother hugs him back and greets, "How are you, my Son? "

"Mae! I am good. How has been your world trip?"

"It is good. Thank you, son, for fulfilling my wish to go on my world tour. It would be more fun if you also come along with us," said his mother while kissing Singto's forehead.

"Mae! Now my whole concentration is on my business. If everything goes well, in 3 years I am going to beat Mr. Sutalick," said Singto by looking into his mother's eyes. He held that ambition fiercely in his heart.

"How many times do I have to say there is no need to compete with him. You are already 27 years old. When are you going to enjoy your life? Stop all these business things and start courting a lady," said his mother with concern.

Singto doesn't like marriage topics. He decides to excuse himself by saying "I am going to refresh."

While he is going to his room, Alex comes and hugs his brother by saying, "I miss you Bro! How are you?"

Singto hugs him more tightly and says, " I too missed you. Did you enjoy the world trip?"

Alex says with an exciting voice "Bro! I enjoyed it a lot. Every country is good in its unique way.I came to know different cultures and different food."

Singto says,"It is good to hear that you enjoyed it. Your exams are preponed. You have exams within a week. Today you take rest. From tomorrow onwards start your preparation for studies."

Alex feels disappointed. He thought to share all his world tour experience. But his brother is firm and talking about studies only. He thinks why Singto acts like a father figure to him. He wants Singto to chill with him and share their thoughts.

While Alex is in his thoughts, Singto says that he will go and refresh. Alex nods. After sometime they gather at the dining table and eat their dinner by talking about different countries.

After eating the dinner he goes to his room and stands on the balcony. The sky is looking so bright with the sparkling stars and Singto is looking at the moon and remembers Chut-Thai girl. He thinks 'Why is that girl not leaving my mind? What spell did she cast on me?'

Alex is in his room and starts dialing to his friends. Because it is night all his friends are sleeping and no one lifts the phone. He is feeling lonely and bored. He is thinking when will the house be cheerful and happy. There is a love word in their building but there is no love in this house. Though he knows his mother and brother loves him, he feels they are not loving him adequate. His brother is always busy in expanding business and her mother is busy with charity works. He is praying to God that this house will be cheerful and the three of them share all the burdens and happy moments equally.

**********

Gammon too is in his house. His gaze is on the stars and thinking, 'When this night is going to be over?' When it is going to be sunrise and meet his Chingu? He lays on the bed. He tries to put himself to sleep...but in vain! He was toppling and turning in bed. His brows frown and he is thinking about her. After some time his brows calmed. With the hope that he is going to see her again, he sleeps soundly.

***************

Emma went to a movie, took her lunch, and then went to another movie. She spends her time idling away like that until 9 p.m.

Emma switched on the phone. She saw many missed calls from "Bro" and "Rose".

She thought, "Should I call these two people and say the phone is with me?" The train of thought stopped when she remembered Jack was waiting for her.

She calls Jack's personal number and shares her location. Jack is relieved that she is safe. He stores away detailed memories of what Emma tells him. She waits for Jack in a hotel while buying two more chicken buckets.

****

After ending the call, Jack sees he got 3 missed calls from Khun Da. After he booked the cab, he forgot to call her back. His mind was too busy with thoughts of keeping Emma safe.

After some time Jack comes and takes Emma to an international hotel by a cab. When she sits in the cab she immediately falls asleep. The day's events have taken a toll on her. All she wants is to forget about it. Gammon's phone slips off from her pocket to the cab.

Jack woke up Emma as they reached the hotel. Emma goes into the hotel with sleepy eyes. Gammon's phone remains in the backseat, waiting.
