It was one warm winter afternoon. In the province of Chiang Rai, somewhere in northern Thailand, stand a cozy resort, hotel at the popular places for tourists.

The cozy resort was own by Bhuwakul family. The business was doing profits enough for the family to live comfortably up to these days.

Kunpimook Bhuwakul, was enjoying the winter wind in room up in the highest floor of his own resort, at the balcony. It was good winter in Thailand hardly go under 10°C. Just then he heard a knock at the door. As much as, Kunpimook was disappointed from getting interrupted from cherishing his favourite weather, he went to open the door.

It was the hotel manager.

"Master Kunpimook...umm...umm...!"

"Yes... Master Somchai...!"

Kunpimook looked his hotel manager.

Finally, Somchai said..."There is one difficult Chinese customer whom complaint all about our services here and there...and..one of our waitress in lobby restaurant pilled a juice on him...he seemed very mad about it.... and he said he must see you. I was so surprised that he knew your name ..yet he said that if you don't go and clear the matter with him yourself, he said he will make our resort get very bad reputation. ...

Ah...but master he all do best on our services .... "

"Bad reputation..!" Kunpimook said.

Then the young man laugh. But the middle aged manager seemed still upset.

They were still standing in front of Kunpimook room.

Finally, Kunpimook said., "No worry..I will go meet this weirdo right now....!"

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

Kunpimook Bhuwakul came downstairs to the lobby of the hotel.

He saw a man, dressed up quite causal with his temporary clothing hotel worker shirt and Jeans,sitting comfortably on sofa and reading an English newspaper. He did not seem to be worrying anything.

"It's him!"

Manager Somchai said.

"Mister....!"

Kunpimook began.

The man put down his newspaper and looked at the young master.

Kunpimook's mouth just opened and fell with surprised..

"Mark.....big brother...how come you are here..!"

"I come to visit you.!"

Mark look around the hotel ..and said...

"Your resort is really comfortable and cozy. The services are great here..Yep I'm enjoying Thailand.!"

Somchai was definitely very confused now.

The two men went to hug each other and went away from the Somchai's sight. They seemed to be very happy.

Kunpimook turned to Somchai, his manager.

"I'm really sorry Somchai. But this is my friend from Taiwan. Dong Yi Eun!"

Somchai was still shocked.

"Hello," Mark said..."I'm really sorry making all the fuss here. I was just wanting to try out Kunpimook's business place. It's was actually really nice. You really managed here well"

"Thank you!"

It was all the poor manager could say.

"And sorry Kunpimook for ..I might really have scared you all here..!"

He was looking at the manager.

After that then... Kunpimook and Yi Eun went away from the lobby.

"Whatever is happening!" Somchai told himself standing still there.

*********

"I just know that your family such a cool resort..It's really better than your family house in Bangkok!"

Mark told his junior friend.

"But why you tell me that you are coming...so..I can prepare..and what if I happened not to be here?"

Kunpimook said.

"Well...it wouldn't be surprised then...and I don't worry because you are here...!"

"Oh ok...Man...!"

The two young men were walking in the garden of "Dok Kaew Resort" (Orange Jasmine Flower Resort) own by Kunpimook's family.

Thailand is in the southern part of Asia. And it was a tropical country. Even in winter it isn't so cold. Mark or also known as Dong Yi Eun liked it very much but it was his first time to the northern part of the country. Mark and Bam Bam( Kunpimook's nickname) had been friends while they were studying abroad (in Switzerland) at the same University and same major although different year. Although, Bam Bam was younger than Mark... they came to get along and became friends very easily. Mark was a senior who always helped Bam Bam and his other friend of same class..called Kim Yug Gyeom, their Korean friend.

After all the studies had been done and they all graduated. Bam Bam didn't get to see much of his friends. Everyone was busy with either farther study or family work. He especially missed Dong Yi Eun whom he admired as a real big brother back then. Although they only had been friends for one or two years before Mark finished his studies there, their bonds was quite strong.

"You look even more manly and mature now....big bro...!"

Bam Bam said. They were still walking.

Mark nodded at Bam Bam 's remark.

"Yep....and maybe that's because I'm near to engage!"

This shocked Bam Bam....

"Wait...Wha...Wh...what...How come... we met every year and yet... you always exclaimed you are single...and who was she...do I know her...?"

Mark still was trying to make easy going manner.

"Hmm....I don't think you know her because I even not know her yet..

"WHAT!"

"Yes...! I actually told I was betrothed since young by my father and mother before they passed away years. I was forgetting it as I grow old...and my memory was awakened by my uncle not so long ago."

Bam Bam shook his head.

"So you are getting married to unknown lady?"

Mark nodded.

"But how come you don't know her..if your families are friendly then...you should have met her already."

"Hmm...Maybe because after my parents death, I was only a kid... and mostly abroad ...my uncle look after all family business....and I was never interested in my fiance or her family.. never get to meet them... almost forget about it !"

"Arrange marriage is something..... indeed...."

"Yep...I know. I sometimes also think why parents would arrange such things. Why don't they let us go with our own destiny...!"

Bam Bam looked at his senior friend. "Hmm..I never know you were engaged..hehee..I see why you were not interested in any ladies at all at university..I hope you and your fiance fall in love... please introduce me to her too..I bet she must be very beautiful."

"I don't know.. love is something..I have no clue of it..well..I will go see her myself first !"

Bam Bam nodded.

Then the young man looked at his senior with joyful eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that!"

"I am just happy... your aura is shining even though you wearing our workers' uniform."

"Am I...." Mark seemed to be satisfied by it and it seemed Mark was thinking about something or planning about something.

Bam Bam seemed to guess about Mark's thinking.

"You must be planning something about your fiance right?."

"Maybe.."

"How will you do it?"

"Can't tell!"

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

The next morning came. Mark slept in the same room with Bam Bam.

The sunlight shown straight to Mark eyes. He woke up and open his eyes. Bam Bam was still sleeping.

Mark got up and went to balcony.

The weather was sunny although the cold wind flew by.

Mark noticed that there was a beautiful grape farm not so very far from the hotel. Somehow, Mark seemed to be interested in it.

Bam Bam now wake up and came to balcony. He was still sleepy.

"I just know there is a beautiful grape plantations near your resort.!"

"Oh.. that one... Yep it's great one there. If you still have time I can take you to there. I am friendly with the owners!"

"Next time when I come. But now need prepare to flew to Macau . My uncle's waiting there."

In the dining room, a chief housekeeper lady was preparing meal with other maids.

After preparation, she went to the living room where her master was sitting.

Dong Min Si was enjoying looking at his tablet screen.

"Master, the meal is ready..!"

The middle aged man about 40 looked at his housekeeper.

"We will wait for my nephew. We need to talk a lot about his engagement and wife to be....!"

"Master Min Si...do you think young master will fall for Miss Tyuzu."

"He must be! She's very adorable."

Dong Min Si looked at his tablet screen again to a beautiful lady who was holding her gold medal which she won from her arrow shooting sports at her university.

"I mean she is not only beautiful but also smart and generous."

"Master is saying like you have already known her!"

"Yes...I have met her before...my brother had some good friends who will such adorable daughter. Mark is lucky!"
