3 days later

at Nuengphirom mansion... the maid went to get some mails to the mailbox. there were a couple of letters and big brown envelop. some of the letters has address on it but the big brown envelop, there's no address. but still the maid brought it into the mansion so that Rissa's father can check on it.

meanwhile at the Ruenreng's mansion, the mom was at the garden. she was watering the plants when she told their maid to get some of the new mails and bring it into her husband's study room.

when Ney's father got home from the office, he went straight to his study room. then the mom went inside there.

Ney's mom: why dont you eat dinner first... i prepared your favorite dish tonight...
Ney's Father: ok... i'll just follow, its just that im looking for something... its for the office tomorrow.
Ney's mom: i see... by the way, i put all the mails there so you could check it later...

then Ney's parents went to the dining room to have dinner first.


Rissa's father is at his cinema room, late at night... watching some tv. after he got home from work he forgot ask the maid to bring the mails, when he called the maid to ask where are the mails, the maid hurriedly get the mails. then he notice the big brown envelop right away, as he opened it... it was a tape. he wonder why there's someone mailed a tape, so he hurriedly put the tape on and press the play.

***shocking moment***


Ney's parents were chatting around, when suddenly phone rang. Ney's father answered the phone and the mother noticed that her husband is in a moment of shock like he doesnt want to believe in something, so he went hurriedly to his study room where all the mails that came today has something to about it. he found the big brown envelop and when he played the tape... Ney's mom and dad were in state of shock.

both parents didnt know what to react, both fathers were fighting and discussing about the anonymous tape. then they end up... calling their son and daughter to tell them that they have to go home because its urgent.

--------------
at the small village, Ney was over the phone talking his dad.

Ney: dad, i still have to-....... but dad.... i wanted to know why its urgent........... but why are you sound so enrage????....... ok, ok... fine! just relax!

he turned off the phone, he was still wondering why his father has gone mad at him. he did make sure that before he went to the village, all the paper works has been approved already and he even had meeting...

--------------
at Greece, Rissa cant stand her father who's been over reacting and gone mad to her something. she settled everything and they even had a nice little chitchat before she left for a vacation. its only been three days since she came in Greece but her father wants her to get home already because there is something urgent...

Rissa: i havent even toured around here.... but, dad!.... why dont we settle it after i get back.... ok, tell me then first why its so urgent?......... you can tell me over the phone.... why? why you cant tell me....... (she ended up followed to her father's wish to go back as soon as possible) fine! i'll fix my flight schedule and then go back there....


the two were so clueless, they didnt know what's happening already after their parents had gone mad to them. they have to get home as soon as possible, because they might done something wrong.... or did their parents already discover of what happened to them???
