Before Veera boarded the plane, Kasem still wanted to hold on and talk to make sure everything would be okay.
-Kasem: Veera, are you sure nothing terrible will happen?
-Veera: At first, even if it's wrong, it's still just a reminder and re-training to be more strict with yourself. Now I've been in the profession for a long time and like I told you, I haven't made a mistake yet so I don't know what the punishment will be. But I don't have to worry too much about that.
-Kasem: You must promise to return safely and without any injuries. (Kasem said in a worried voice)
-Veera: Called punishment, there must be injuries but I won't let myself get hurt too badly to bother you to take care of me. (Veera smiles happily)
-Kasem: Yes, it would be troublesome if I had to take care of you, so absolutely don't put yourself in danger.
At Kasem's nagging, Veera didn't feel tired, but on the contrary found it adorable. Veera approached and kissed Kasem's forehead as a reassurance and a promise to Kasem.
-Kasem: How long will you be gone? (Kasem asked softly)
-Veera: Just a day or two. Please wait for me, I'll be back soon.
Kasem hugged Veera with nostalgia. Veera gently separated Kasem from himself, then boarded a private plane and flew to France to meet Khan. As soon as he arrived in France, Veera went directly to Khan's office but unfortunately Khan was not there. Waited a whole day Khan still did not have time to meet Veera, at the end of the day Veera was only informed that he would meet Khan the next day at noon.
-Khan: This time give me an explanation.
-Veera: It was my negligence, killing weeds does not kill the root. Hotel papers here.
-Khan: That hotel, please accept it and trade it for use as a place to deal with important customers.
-Veera: I will stop working here, I want to withdraw from this world.
-Khan: Has there been an obstacle to your development? Was it because of that, that he was so negligent. Normally he works very carefully, handling everything neatly.
-Veera: I had a reason to move away from these dangers. If I stay, Kasem will always be in danger.
-Khan: That's why I always tell you not to have a weakness. He has become your weak point, get rid of it.
-Veera: I'm only human, so when I'm shaken, it's not easy to stop.
Khan: My time with you is over. Before our next meeting, I hope we don't have to talk about this again. The story about the hotel is considered finished. Don't let me down, you can come back now.
-Veera: No matter what, I will still withdraw from this world.
Although he has not received approval from Khan, Veera has absolutely not given up on leaving the industry. From the moment Veera decided not to be another Mafia, he also knew that there was no rush and hurry, Veera would fight to the end. Knowing that Veera was on a flight back to Thailand, Kasem's heart was restless. Ever since the afternoon, he had been standing at the gate waiting for Veera. Veera's figure appeared, Kasem ran over and hugged Veera. Kasem Khiens Veera's actions were both surprising and joyful.
-Kasem: You weren't hurt anywhere, right?
-Veera: Kasem calm down. I don't, you can rest assured. This time I was not hurt at all. Merely…
-Kasem: Just how? Don't stop like that, I'm scared.
-Veera: It's just that Khan can't accept me leaving this world right now. So please wait a little longer, I absolutely won't let anyone touch you and put you in danger.
-Kasem: That's okay. Give Mr Khan time to accept. You are safe. (Kasem said as if he wanted to cry out of fear)
-Veera: Are you still eating enough these two days? Why do I look so skinny?
-Kasem: I still eat enough, you don't need to worry. You're tired from walking, go to your room to rest. I'll wake you up when dinner's ready.
-Veera: Okay, it's been hard for me.
At the end of dinner, Veera called Karawek, Lop, Kit and Rui into the office.
-Karawek: The boss called us.
-Veera: I originally bought that hotel and would transfer the name to Mr. Khan but he refused and gave it back to me. He wants us to use that hotel for commercial business, besides also as a secret place to meet customers to do business.
-Rui: So what do you intend to do with that hotel?
-Veera: I plan to retire from the industry, so if I used the hotel for normal business, I could do it but that would only accomplish half of Khan's wish. Right now, I can't disobey his orders.
-Kit: Are you planning to retire from the industry? So what will the job be?
-Veera: I will meet you guys to explain more when I have a detailed and thorough plan. But now I want you to know the situation in advance and be prepared. Whatever you decide, I'll allow it.
-Karawek: Boss, now that the hotel has been built, it can enter the business stage. Even if we want to use it as a place of transaction, we need to let the hotel go into stability. So the boss should proceed for the right business activities in its industry first.
-Veera: Okay, you and Rui take care of that. The recruitment of staff is left to Lop and Kit.
-Karawek, Rui, Lop, Kit: Yes sir.
After completing other stable jobs and handling the work at the hotel to prepare to go into operation, Veera took everyone on a trip to Phuket, fulfilling Thany's wish.
-Veera: Thany, have you chosen where to stay and the places you want to go in Phuket?
-Thany: I just want to go there to see the scenery and swim, so I don't have a choice of many other fun places.
-Kasem: Thany do you like to drop lanterns?
-Thany: I haven't been able to participate before so I want to know how it goes.
-Kasem: So at this time, there is both the Loy Krathong Lantern Festival and the Yi Peng Festival.
-Thany: That's great, so I'll remember you there.
Veera assigned Karawek to check and choose accommodation for the group. When everything was done, everyone moved together to Phuket.
-Veera: Do you like this place? If something isn't right, tell me to change it. I see you're a little worried.
-Kasem: You don't have to worry too much, just relax. However, can I make a condition with you?
-Veera: What's wrong?
-Kasem: Can you turn off the phone for a day to be with me without having to worry about work?
-Veera: Okay, everyone listen to me.
On the first day of arrival in Phuket, everyone looks for places to visit and enjoy local specialties. In the afternoon, Karawek and Thany's group went scuba diving to see the corals and fishes deep in the sea, while Veera and Kasem went to Old Town Phuket to admire Chinese architecture. On the first night, they attended the Yi Peng . festival together
-Kasem: Do you want to make a wish while dropping the lanterns with me?
-Veera: If it's a wish, how can you say it?
-Thany: Can you make a wish when you release the lights?
-Kasem: Yes, so make a wish, Thany.
In the dark night, lanterns are released like small candles lighting up the sky. The people who released the lanterns made a wish together and looked at the shining sky.
The next day at noon, they held a barbecue party by the pool. Aunt Nahm and Atid and Karawek make barbecue while the rest of them play in the pool. No one can think of them as strangers because living under the same roof has become a family. Thany ran over and pulled Kasem into the pool, even though I refused many times Thany still pulled Kasem near the edge of the pool. Kasem asked permission to stop near the pool to watch everyone so as not to ruin the fun atmosphere. But unexpectedly, someone accidentally touched him, causing Kasem to lose his balance and fall into the water.
-Kasem: Help with…help with…
-Veera: Kasem!!!
Fear came, Kasem could only struggle to wait for someone to save him. Seeing that, Veera quickly jumped down and pulled Kasem ashore. Kasem's whole body trembled.
-Thany: Mr. Kasem, are you okay? You shouldn't have brought me near the pool if you knew this was happening. I'm really sorry.
-Atid: Mr. Kasem, I didn't mean to push you down.
-Kasem: I'm fine, you two don't need to blame yourself, both of you didn't mean it. (Kasem said while his body was still shaking)
Veera motioned for everyone to continue the game comfortably while taking Kasem back to his room. After changing, Veera helped Kasem warm up and calmed Kasem down.
-Veera: How are you, are you better? Why are you so afraid of water, struggling so much?
-Kasem: When I was young, I was so busy playing that I slipped and fell into the lake. While there was no one around, I was struggling to cry for help alone there. When I was almost exhausted, I felt someone grabbed me and pulled me ashore. Even though she was saved, every time she looked at the water, fear came and made her become empty and reflexively could only struggle.
-Veera: When and where did you save?
-Kasem: Ho Nong Han, when I was sixteen years old… Why are you smiling? Is there something interesting about your story?
-Veera: Then I will tell you a story when I was little. I was led by Khan to Nong Han Lake, at that time Mr. Khan had a business to discuss and I was walking around there. While walking, I saw a boy struggling in the water. I ran to save him, but the boy's strength was quite strong, causing me to hit a sharp object and leave a scar. Luckily the boy was okay.
-Kasem: You mean…
-Veera: Do you believe in fate? The boy I saved that year is now by my side.
Kasem: I don't know either. Is that why you have a tattoo of water on your chest?
-Veera: You were destined to be mine, Kasem.
Just like that, Veera placed a kiss on Kasem's lips and hugged Kasem tighter before falling asleep. After dinner, everyone invited each other to continue to participate in the Loy Krathong Lantern Festival.
-Veera: Kasem, you should stand a little further away. Otherwise fall into the water.
-Thany: What's wrong with Kasem? Is it because I fell in the pool this afternoon, so I'm afraid of water? (Thany is worried hearing Veera's warning)
-Kasem: I'm okay, when I was a kid, I fell into the water and almost drowned, so I was still scared.
- Atid: Then let me help you release the lanterns.
Looking at the bright water with colorful lanterns, bringing the wish for peace to flow quietly and smoothly.
A new day has begun, the sunrise here is beautiful and poetic. There is nothing better than seeing the whole big family eating together at the same table. If in the past, everyone waited for Veera to finish eating before starting to eat, from today, he let everyone sit together.
After breakfast, Kasem and Veera went for a walk. What a surprise when Kasem asked Veera
-Kasem: Mr. Veera, what is your specific job?
-Veera: I own two casinos, one of which has a debt collection business; two bars; a real estate company and besides the arms business. Now there are more hotels.
-Kasem: You don't deal in drugs or kill people, right?
-Veera: These things I don't want to do, won't be good even though money is abundant.
-Kasem: Fortunately, you can still be saved. But… it will still be difficult to withdraw from this world, I hope you will persevere.
-Veera: I never thought of it before even though Thany mentioned it. She said doing this job was too dangerous and brought me many enemies. However, Mr. Khan is someone I am very grateful to, so as long as Mr. Khan wants me to do it, I will do it. Ever since you came, I've had to think about giving them up.
-Kasem: I think it's good that you can think about it. I don't want you to be in such danger anymore. Maybe not for me or Thany but please respect your life.
-Veera: This is also what my father mentioned to keep me safe.
-Kasem: Your father? Your father suggested it when you met me last time.
Leaving behind Kasem's question, Veera quietly walked beside Kasem like that until it was time for lunch. When the sunset covered the sky, despite being afraid of water, Kasem still went to the sea with everyone, but Kasem always stood far away to watch. After that everyone returned to change their clothes and only Kasem was still sitting on the sand and looking around.
-Thany: Mr. Veera, will it be okay for him to stay there alone?
-Veera: As long as she doesn't go near the water, there won't be any problems.
-Thany: So you're not afraid that Kasem will be robbed by someone else?
-Veera: So now I'm marking ownership here.
Everyone laughed at Veera's words. Together, they planned to organize a marriage proposal for Veera. Everyone was busy running backwards and forwards to keep up with the time.
Suddenly in the sky Kasem saw streaks of light and fireworks shot off one by one. The scene in front of my eyes appeared shimmering. Without a sound, Veera hugged Kasem from behind and slowly turned Kasem around in front of Veera and knelt in front of Kasem with a bunch of white roses. Kasem couldn't hold back the tears, drop by drop rolling down his face. This is a happy tear, Kasem is surprised to be proposed by Veera.
-Veera: Will you accept to be my life partner for the rest of the way?
-Kasem: Since when did you prepare? Why don't you agree?
Veera wipes Kasem's tears and puts a ring on Kasem's finger, the ring that binds them together.
-Veera: Kasem, about that. I will definitely do it, to protect you and Thany. Both me and Thany have suffered a lot because of you.
-Kasem: Don't just for me or Thany, be for me too.
-Veera: Do you want to have a proper wedding? Today, he just had time to prepare like that. If you need it, I'll do it for you.
-Lop: Boss, we also need to follow the order.
-Veera: Just tell me about the wedding I'm going to do.
-Thany: I already have more family members! Mr. Kasem is Mr. Veera's destiny. (Thany said while winking at Kasem)
-Kasem: Yes or no doesn't matter to me. Because we have an organization but the law has not been passed, it is not legal. So just having you by my side is enough. (Kasem becomes shy)
In the cheers of everyone right after Kasem's reply, Veera lightly kissed Kasem's forehead. Just like that, the romantic, happy scene on the beach when night falls becomes as beautiful as a picture. A memory that never fades in every person present.
