The day of Nok, a teenager girl, left her widow mom, Dang, to live on her own way. II. Nok life's in the real world without guiding line from her widow mom during five years period. III. ...please follow up on next time... "Red Tear..." Part II Five years have gone by very quick, but until Today, everything seem slow as unusual, there is not much business going on, Nok is waiting for her guesses to come by. Inside her room, it is full filled with neon rainbow color light with off and on. Nok is walking across the room back and forth, while lighting up one after another cigarettes until no more. Then, she changes her direction toward the window and open it up wide for fresh air and softly windy are slowly rushing into the window as blowing dark long hair of Nok out of her face in the direction of the wind. In her mind, "Yes, Mr. Wind, please carry me away from this place...just me and you". Her nose seem very well cooperate with the fresh air as she is breathing in as much as she can take into her lung that she hardly has this oppotunity to do this. Today, she doesn't give a t...anymore for this f... rule for opening the window as she had signed on her contract when she had started working in this place. Today is her last day to get out of this place, even she doesn't know where is she really going anyway that depend on one of her guess will pick her up and go on to work another place for better money. All of her friends are tearing down when they heard that she is leaving them. Nok is always there to protect the weakness among of her co-workers. Nok is known to her friends as "nok noy pik ki nou" ( Small bird tiny red peper). One of her story, she had beat up one her co-worker, known as Maii Seau Jet Dow (Mother of tiger with seven star), who always take advantage of the weakness. Maii Seau who alway succeed to pick up the right bait, but this time she picked up the wrong bait, a tiny red pepper, ...oop. No more Maii Seau Jet Dow, all of her co-worker are not paying some extra bonus to this Maii Seou anymore. Maii Seou was transfered out of this place to somewhere else. For Nok, no sorrow and no pity, when the time is to go, she will go just like a bird when winter is comming, it will be heading to the warm place. Even before she got to this place she was living on the street for a year after her boyfriend, a gang member, was arrested last four years ago with charging on selling illegal drug. Nok was beaten up and down with all kinds of obstacle of life that she never encounter before she left her widow mom, Dang. She was raped and beaten up utill unconciously that they thought she was dead by the headgangster and their member after they are finding out that she was trying to steal their money to bail out her boyfriend. She was throwed into the river, but fortunately her life was not end, yet she was awake after the touch of the cool water. She tried to fight back very hard to get out of the river as getting away from her enemy sight. As she was seeing them are leaving as she heard one of them said "let's go...she dead for sure by now...". In the dark of midnight in jungle, only tiny star light from her dark eye that was reflecting with the light of the full moon, as she could see from looking down into the river surface. She tried to pull her head up as to look up into the sky direct to where the full moon was shining to her bruise face. She could feel that inside of her mind that the moon was telling her "get up, Nok, get up" that the only energy from the moon would cure her pain while dragging herself out of the chilly water. "Whenever you want to come back, you are welcome and good luck to you" one of her friend says to her. She replies "thanks...and good luck to you, once I know the place then I will contact you and let you know". "ding dong...ding dong ..." the bell is ringing. "Oh, must be my friend...see you" as Nok says to her friends. ...............Please follow up Part III next time........................
