Freen saw Becky at the graduation day, she want to talk to Becky for their last interaction. She felt guilty about what she said to her.
But Becky ignored her at any cost after few words.
Her mother is sick for a while, she is more desperate in her life.
Trying to do everything herself. Paying medicine bills and expenditures, going to class, even she doesn’t have spare time.
No one is there to help her, except her friends but they too busy with their lives.
Shop has been closed for a few weeks, so no income.
Even after medication, her mother condition is not better, so she meet the doctor. The doctor said her mother heart need open heart valvuloplasty surgery soon, they asked her to ready for the surgery that cost around 700,000 bhat. That's a big amount, its the costliest surgery.
Now her life is upside down.
There is no money left, her mother saving, her saving it's all gone paying Doctor fees, buying medicine.
Even her friends helped her before, but now what will she do.
Her boyfriend is not much of help. The only things she can do is selling their house.
So she conclude she has to save her mother life, house they can buy later. But in heart she is so sad
"Dad I am so sorry, I couldn't keep the house you made for Mom and me, I am really sorry, but I really need money, I even can't get loan as I don't have steady income, they need gurantee"
She called Tao but he didn't picked up her call.
So she went towards his house, she has been there before. Tao complete building his house, its not big one but, its good.
When she reach the front door, she can hear people shouting.
She doesn't want to pry, but it's too loud not to heard.
"Why you kept my phone in silent"
A male voice said, Freen know it's Tao voice, then she heard a woman voice
"When will you break up with her?"
"I said soon"
"When is soon, its always soon. Now you got your property from your parents, even your house is complete. Till when you will used her as an excuse"
"You should know from first place that my parents doesn’t approved you, they doesn’t want to give me even a penny if I were with you. But now because of her I got my share. I promised my parents that I will be with her not you, so give me some time to think about it"
"So what, are you going to marry her because your parents wants her, I even left my job to be with you.
You know I want to live in Philippines"
"Did I say that I will marry her, my parents approved her, they like her from first moment, so for time being I have to act like we are together and you know there is nothing between us"
"Tao, what if I am pregnant, I don't have much time"
"Don't worry we will see, but let not my parents know for time being and how can I break up with her now, her mother is sick. Its hard for me too, we have been dating for more than 3 years "
"Tao, I don't know what to say, I know nothing is there between you two. But is it good that you keep me like a mistress"
Freen couldn't take it anymore, she can felt her tear on her cheek.
What she heard is the most shocking things.
She knock the door, its open by the woman, then Tao came out
"Ahh Baby"
"Please don't call me that"
Freen said with gritted teeth, she continue
"Becky were right the whole time, even before she told me about you, you put the venomous word in my head that she is jealous of you, threatening you to leave me"
"Freen "
"I ..,, I am the most stupid person ever alive. I lost someone who love me with all her heart, beacuse of your selfishness"
"Please listen, Freen "
"I listen everything, there is no need of further explanation"
Freen cry harder,
"If you have someone in your life, then why you keep promising me that we will get married. I asked you many time after you had fight with Becky, but you keep saying that there is nothing like that and I believe you whatever you said, I believe you blindly"
"Freen, I really am sorry"
"You are saying sorry, how dare you, after ruining my life.
Oh my God, how could I be like this"
Freen is crying her heart out, she is on her knees on the floor, Tao try to reached her
"Stopped there!!, don't touch me, don't touch me"
"Ma" Suddenly she remembered her mother who is at the hospital. Waiting for her surgery. She gathered herself, then looked at Tao
"We are done here"
"Freen wait"
"Now what you want"
"I am really sorry"
Freen just wiped her tears then left the place without a word.
Before she asked Tao to accompanied to go to some real-estate agency. That's why she came here at the first place.
Her heart ache not because of Tao, but for Becky.
She is standing on the side of the road, doesn’t know what to do. Suddenly her phone ring, its Nam.
"Hello Nam"
"Freen come quickly to the hospital"
"Did something happened to Ma?"
"She is ready for surgery"
"But till now, I don't have money Nam"
"Don't worry about money, just come. I will tell you when you reached here"
"OK, I will be there"
After Freen got a taxi and went towards the hospital.
When she reached there, her mother is ready for the surgery. Freen doesn’t know what is happening there. But Nam said she will tell her later.
Surgery start, Nam and she is waiting on the waiting room, there her two friends came too to give her support.
They were sitting in silence, they couldn't see Freen's condition, her eyes is red, she looked thin too without having food at proper time.
"So Nam, how they are ready for surgery, didn't they asked me to deposit money"
"Yes, money is already deposited"
"But how?"
"Uhh, don't be mad. But I meet Becky here"
Nam told the whole story
"P'Nam what are you doing here, are you not well"
"Hi Becky, no I am fine"
"So, do you work here"
"I wished I could"
They exchange smile
"So, you are visiting someone, like me. One of my family friends is admitted here, my grandmother asked me to visit in her place"
"Ahh Becky I am waiting for my friend, her mother is admitted here"
"Who?"
"Ahh Freen's mother"
"Oh I am sorry to hear that, but why you are here not her"
"Becky it's a long story"
"I have time, phi"
"Her mother has been sick for a while, but now she need surgery, it cost a lot, the hospital asked her to deposited the money but, she doesn’t have money in her hand so she went to meet some real-estate agency"
"She is going to sell their house?"
"Becky she need money, even we can't help her"
"What surgery?"
"Its heart valve surgery"
"OK wait, here"
"Becky where are you going?"
"Phi please believe me, I will be back"
After like 30 min, Becky came towards Nam
"Phi, its done, I paid whatever money the hospital need, no need to worry about money and give this to Miss"
Becky handed, an envelope and the hospital bill receive to Nam's hand
"What should I tell her"
"Just tell the truth, nothing to hide. I never hide anything from her. This is the only things I can do for her, even she hate me"
"Becky, I am so sorry about my friend, she is so stupid"
Nam is crying
"Hey Phi, why are you crying, its not your fault, its not anyone fault. This is my life's story"
Nam crying hugging Becky . Becky just calm her down
"OK, the surgery will be start in few hours, please call Miss, she is the family, she should be here, Doctors will need her, most importantly Aunty will need her"
"OK Becky"
"Phi, thank you, I wished everyone a happy life, that include Miss too.
It's late my grandmother is waiting for me"
"OK take care, Nong"
Freen is sobbing on the floor, her friends try to calm her down but it doesn't work.
"I want to see her" Freen try to stood up
"Freen just calm down, do you want to leave your mother like this"
"But I need to see her, please let me"
"You will see her, but first your mother need you"
"Didn't you take her number"
"I am sorry Freen, I couldn't asked her"
After like 6 hours, the surgery is successfully finished.
Freen can calm a little. She asked her friends to go home, as it's already late. They had been there for long.
She is staying at her mother side, waiting to gain conscious.
She couldn't sleep properly, eat properly.
She remembered Becky words again and again
'I wished you never missed me when I am gone.
I wished you never felt sorry for me when you know the truth.'
Now, Freen is exactly fall on Becky words, she missed her with all her heart.
She remembered the moments they spend together, Becky made her happy every moment.
She missed Becky's smile, her dimple, her bluntness, her simplicity, most important her love.
Freen tears fall silently, she doesn’t care if anyone see her, what Becky did today was out of the world.
Freen couldn't get a chance to thank her. She suddenly remembered the envelope gave by Nam, she move towards her bag, then hold it, she slowly opened it, its money.
There she found a piece of paper folded at middle, she took and opened it
'Even you doesn’t accept my heart, please accept this. I wish aunty to get well soon'
Freen cry harder.
After 4 days, her mother can move a little, but she is so weak. Freen never leave her mother side.
Her mother asked her how she got money for surgery, but Freen said she will tell later, Her mother agreed.
She call Nam to be with her mother as she is about to meet Irin.
Freen meet Irin at a cafe.
"P'Freen, is there anything you want to say as you call me to meet you"
"Uhh, Irin can you helped me"
"For what?"
"I really need to meet Becky, can you help me"
Irin sight, she looking her side, its like she doesn't want to help her at any cost
"I know, I am not in right position to see her, but atleast I want to thank her for her helped "
"P'Freen, its late for that"
"What you saying?"
"She already left the country 2 days ago"
"Where, when will she come back?"
"USA, she will continue her study there, So I don't know maybe 2 years, 3 years I don't know"
Freen closed her eyes, she is late, she is too late.
She doesn't know what to do with the information. They are sitting in silent.
Irin clear her throat
"Uhh, P'Freen, this is not my place to say, but I think it's better, I don't want to see my friend cry because of you, she fall for you from the first moment at the bridge, even before you start tutoring us.
You know, After that day, she went to the bridge every single day, hoping to see you, we joined her, even we don't know how you look"
Irin smile, remembering those days.
"She was happy, when you are with her"
"Irin please, Atleast I want to thank her" Freen is begging
"That's not necessary P'Freen, she helped other people too, she love to help people without any expectations. Maybe she doesn’t mind for a thank you."
Freen really want to cry. Even she is in public place, she couldn't stopped her tears, Irin felt pity.
"She make me promised not to give her number to anyone, sorry. Please let her be"
"Uhh, I understand"
Freen said wiping her tears
"Uhh, Today I am going visit somewhere as she asked me to do on behalf of her. Do you want to join?"
"What is that Irin?"
"Come, I will saw you"
They were standing infront two tombstone with writing on it 'Richard Armstrong ' and 'Siripon Armstrong'
Irin put bouquet of daisies on each of it.
"They are her parents, every Sunday she came her, Sometime I accompanied her, or Non.
Phi, her parents died at car accident when she was 1 year old. Her grandparents raised her, they love her and they let her do anything she want, they love to pampers her very much. That's why she is sometime act like a child, but her heart is pure"
Freen silently cry standing next to Irin. Now, she know the reason why Becky always said she has work on Sunday.
"Today is Sunday, she live across half of the world, so she asked me to visit her parents on behalf of her, she is such a real pain in the ass, even she is not here, she gave me work"
Irin said with a smile on her face
"And we have one more destination to visit" Irin said.
After they give respect to Becky's parents, they left the place. Freen just followed Irin, she didn't question her
They went towards an orphanage home, there some girl is running here and there
One of a the girl came running towards them
"Hello P'Irin, where is P'Becky"
The girl is looking around for Becky
"Hey Fah, P'Becky won't come for while, but she asked me to give you and your friends this"
Irin said bringing out a chocolate box from the carry bag she has been carring.
The girl ran away, calling her friends.
Before Irin buy lots of food, like chocolate, cookies, milk etc from store
"The Armstrong family donate, provide money for the girls here for education, Becky came here every Sunday after visiting her parents, saying the girls are like her, who are not so lucky to meet their parents"
Irin told Freen
Some of girls running towards them, one of girl look at Freen
"Oh I know you"
"Mew, how you know her?" Irin asked
"P'Becky show me her on the phone, saying she has a beautiful friend. Oh really you are beautiful Phi"
"Oh Thank you, sweetheart" Freen smile
After spending time with the girls, they came back. Freen thank Irin for the day.
Freen agreed with Irin, thinking Becky deserve someone who is better than her. She think the girl is too good for her.
Even she start falling for Becky, she let her feeling kept aside.
She looked up the night sky and wishper through the wind
'I am sorry, I love you Beck'
