30.

" Becky!"

Becky turned around with fear on her face. Sweat drops forming on her forehead on the evening of December. Becky felt her heart coming out of her chest.

The sun has already set but a bit of sun ray was still scattered around there. Enough for her to see the person who caught her was nop.

" Nop!"

" Where are you going?" Nop asked as he came closer to becky.

" I was... Umm...." Becky was unable to speak.

" Is it about your obsession with the castle?" Nop wiped becky's forehead with his handkerchief. " Is that where you are going? " Nop whispered as he wiped and fixed becky's hair.

" Hummm. It's just umm.. since I returned I am having some dreams about the castle. I can't sleep eat or anything. I don't know how I can relax after marrying you. If I don't see for myself what's in that castle." Becky tried to explain.

" You can't go there?" Nop said with a serious expression.

Becky got tensed and pressed his lips together and looked at nop with hope.

Then nop slowly smiled and said...,
" You can't go there on foot. You need a car. " Nop said. Then he looked in the back in the front porch where his car was parked. A track perfect for the hilly roads.
" I can understand. You have been obsessed with that castle for your whole life. You can't just change suddenly when you been so close to that castle recently. All you have to do is say and I'll walk with you to the end of the world and beyond." Nop said with a smile.

" Nop! Are you..?" Said becky. Becky looked at him. He gave a agreeing smile.

With this becky and nop jumped in the car and nop started the engine.

But Becky's brother richie came out when he heard the noise.

" Becky, nop where are you guys going? Richie with a worried expression.

" We are..."
Nop stopped becky and said," Becky and I are going on a date. Becky seems agitated since she returned so I am taking her to the a date out of this town so she can relax. It might take two days. We are going to bangkok. We need some documents too." Nop explained.

Becky smiled proudly her friend is so good at lieing. Her friend? Her fiance!

" Ooh! But you should hurry. Your wedding is in two days. And you should hurry before the full moon. Or else enter this town after full moon." Said richie with a wired face.

" Don't worry richie. I am going to take care of your sister. We won't be back before the full moon." Said nop assuring richie.

He started the car as soon as richie stepped back.

With a loud noise nop's jeep left. Richie waved them bye and then went back to his house. The street lights turned on.

.....

As they reached the forest area after two hours the nop got cold feeted.

" Becky! Do you have some food?" Asked nop while driving.

" Humm! I got some granola bars. You want some?" Becky looked through her bag pack to find a granola bar.

Nop then finally turned left leaving the road that goes to the city away. The left road that leads towards the castle is very bad. Although very few cars rans on this road but the road is in bad condition. Pot wholes every where in this  road. Mosty rain erosion and work of wild animals made the road even worse for a car. But after some time surprisingly they entered a very smooth road. This means this road haven't been used in years. Nop remembers these roads because he had been here. When they came to search for becky. They roamed through this streets over five times before they finally gave up.

Becky looked through the roads since she never seen these roads. First she was taken in a black van so she wasn't able to see anything. And when she left she was so scared of the strom.

Becky looked carefully through the forest and tried to take up as much details as she can.

Becky saw some deers and foxes and some wild hares. But then she finally saw someone in a black dress in a distance.

" Nop!" Becky screamed suddenly.

Nop some how lost control for a moment but then regained his control and stopped the car.

" What?" Nop asked.

" Umm.... someone is there! Look." Becky pointed at distance. As tomorrow was full moon the nights are clear and shinny.

Becky can see at far someone was in lieing on the ground. Looked like she fell from the sky and like an angel she was shining.

Becky and nop both stepped out of the car. Becky turned on flash light of her phone although it was already bright outside but still she wanted to look carefully. Nop on the other hand picked up a baseball bat on his hand and he put in up high ready to strike anyone or anything dangerous.

Becky was curious but nop was cautious.

Becky with determination went near the person who was lieing on the leafy ground of the forest.

With rustle and crunches becky and nop step by step reached the person.

By now they knew that person was a she and she was wearing a very traditional black thai attire like princesses did in the thai serials.

" Becky careful! Let me check." Said nop. But then he thought if this is a trap and he bent down to look at the woman someone can attack them from behind. So he then said," no you look. I will keep a eye."

Becky nodded. Even though her heart was pounding superfast Becky bent down and turned the woman around. It turns out to be a very beautiful woman. May be most beautiful woman she ever seen.

" Wow!" Even nop couldn't help but compliment her beauty when he glanced at the woman on the ground.

She was on the ground still the dust seemed to refused to touch her face. Her face shone under the moonlight without any imperfections. Becky could only stare at the celestial beauty of the woman in front of her.

Becky seemed to remember something. A smiling face, a rose plant, a gothic castle, a old room, a kitchen table, a small window through which a view of the town can be seen , a perfect day with flowers everywhere she can see. With the rose plant in the middle the whole castle filled with different seasonal flowers. And in the middle someone standing with a bouquet of white tulip flower. That someone from her dream seemed to have the same face as this woman.

What kind of attraction she have for this woman. Becky's eyes started to get teary a tear drop fell on the face of the woman lieing on Becky's lap.

The tear drop seemed to disturb her sleep. The woman crooked her eyebrows and slowly opened her eyes.

" Who are you?" Asked the woman. ..

" I am Becky! Who are you? " Becky and nop both looked at the woman with curiosity.

" I am..." The woman looked around then looked at becky and nop and with hesitation said," I am faye!"
