Forbidden (OneShot)

(English)

POV Philai

I gave my condolences to Khun Nueng and tried not to show any weakness, but when I returned home I collapsed, Anueng told me that she would sleep again later, that she wanted to go check on her tutor, I needed that time for myself to grieve, so I simply didn't oppose it, my love was no longer here and it was the only thing I could think about.

Our love was forbidden, they separated us and we learned to accept it, they forced me to get married and she was forced to get pregnant, I was never happy and I know she wasn't neither. My husband died after getting sick, but it was too late for us.

The last memory of us that I have is when I approached her with the intention of resuming our relationship years after my husband died to escape together, since my parents and hers were no longer there, but she closed the door on my face and told me that a relationship between us would never be possible, from that day she changed and now she looked at me as if I was unworthy and at the events of my daughter and her granddaughter, I was the one who come up to greet her, she never came down from that cloud of superiority and today that she is no longer here I regret not having tried a little more, I gave up and did it for my daughter, for society. When Piengfah got pregnant so young, the only thing I could do to avoid embarrassment was to send her as far away as possible, but I'm not going to lie, I also wanted to have someone to take care of, to get ML Sipakorn, the royal woman who knew how to make me crazy, out of my head.

***40 years ago****

-I will work for the Sipakorns and as a thank you gift, they gave us their recommendation, so that our daughter can go to the best university.

-Our daughter in a university, that is the best thing that could have happened to us this year.

-They will take care of everything, this weekend we will go to the palace, they invited us to eat.

-Dad, my grades are not the best...

-That is why the Sipakorn daughter will help you, she has already finished her degree but since they have lots of money left over, she does not want to work, so she will be your tutor.

-But..

-No ifs, you will go and end of the conversation!

When they arrived at the Sipakorn palace Philai could not help but be amazed at the great place, these people of royal blood sure knew how to waste money and it was something that someone from the middle class would find incredible, the woman had been raised without luxuries and to see all that it seemed to her, that this was how her life should have been, she struggled to fit in, she always had a weak personality, since growing up in a middle-class family was like being a “nobody.”

The man of the house received them and the whole family bowed their heads cordially, Philai's father was just another employee and this was actually a great honor.
Once at the table of dimensions never seen before for the youngster, the first thing she saw was M.L Khaekai sitting with an unfriendly face, her father seemed very strict and she, like a rebel without a cause.

-Daughter, show your respects, you will have to help her.

-Dad, I already told you, I don't want to work!

-You will do it and that's it.

The dinner went very cordially and when it was over, the adults stayed talking while Khaekai was asked to go and discuss the topics she should prepare so that the other girl could have better grades to enter the prestigious university, to which she would be recommended.

-So... I need help in calculus and...

-Look, I do this only because they force me, so don't get too comfortable in my room, in my palace and in my life!
