Rak Tong Oum / Embrace With Love

Ruk Tong Oom Carried with Love

Sipa steal the ball!

Hey! Calm down, Ai Lan!

You two as soon as you get to this school, you turn into naughty kids causing trouble.

Just a little bit, Coach. We're trying to make it worth the trip.

-Hurry, hurry, hurry! Stay strong! -Is your grandma doing well?

She's doing well and still just as fierce.

Tell her that the kids she has supported financially

have been asking for her.

And they miss her out of respect, including me too.

Ok. Grandma will probably be very happy.

Because grandma always says that she wants the kids from her hometown to have a good future.

Come on! One try!

Oh, that was awesome!

Hey! Ai Sipa, you're playing with your juniors.

Didn't you go overboard?

I forgot myself, Coach. Whenever I come back here

I think of the time when I was a kid.

Gosh, your sweat. Go wash your face.

Over there. The kids' water. Take it.

I'll take some. Kids I'm taking some of your water.

Come on, come on.

-Do it carefully, Lan. Is it hot? -Why would it be hot?

She's helping him wash his face. They're so cute.

I want to have a boyfriend like this. I'm shy now.

You guys.

-You're out of time. Go, get to your classes. -Aww!

And you two, how could you be so...the kids are embarrassed now.

You're quiet as usual, Coach.

Being a coach is like this.

-Goodbye -Goodbye -Goodbye, goodbye.

Go, go, go! Get to your classes!

-When you have to go learn, it's different from when you're playing. -Khun Lan!

Khun Lan! Are you hungry yet?

A little.

Ai Kob! I'm standing here. Don't you think to greet me at all?

-How's it going? -Geez!

Let's go. You're probably hungry by now.

And where are we going afterwards?

Ah, there's another mountain left.

Oh, great.

Come on, come on so we have enough time.

-Let's go. -Let's go. -Hey! I'm here, Ai Kob!

Get my purse, Sipa.

-Pat, here hold it. It's Lan's. -What?

Here help me carry this too.

Four sets please.

Saleslady, If I come pray with my boyfriend, will we really break up?

They call it coming to pray for your fortune.

If you and your boyfriend are not soul mates, you'll break up pretty soon.

But if you come pray with someone you secretly like,

you think well of each other and treat each other well, you'll end up getting married.

Oh right. You should invite P'Num to come pray so it can come true.

Give me two sets please.

-Sure -Hurry!

Ok!

Wait!

Ai Lan

This is yours.

Here.

You give it to Pat. She doesn't have one.

Come on. Let's go pray.

Hurry. Let's go pray.

What is this?

Ok

Give it to me.

Gosh.

Ai Kob

They don't let three people pray at the same time here.

Why?

There's a condition to this stuff?

Yeah, you get up first. Wait to pray with Pat.

Aren't you taking this too seriously?

Ai Lan, I take this seriously.

You wait and pray with Pat.

Yeah, Sipa's household takes this seriously. His chi is not good.

-Get up and pray with me. -It's just going to be a second.

Pray

Concentrate.

Why are you smiling?

-I didn't smile. -Stick the incense in. -Yeah, I'm about to.

Hey, you.

Didn't you want to pray? So pray.

Ouch!

I'm going to take pictures

in front.

Wait

Take some for me too.

Gather information too.

Yeah, I know.

An orphanage?

It's a shame

I didn't bring anything with me.

That matter

don't worry about it.

Thanks so much, Sipa

for having Nuea deliver the gifts.

Why did you come here, Khun Lan?

Are you doing good deeds for my birthday??

I was born here.

I was left here when I was less than a month old

and grandma Malai came to adopt me.

-I'm sorry. -Oh, it's all right, Khun Kob. Don't worry.

I've stopped being sad about my life a long time ago.

I'm happy instead that I got to meet grandma Malai

got to meet Sipa

got to meet Ai Pat and many more friends.

If I could choose again

I want to be born as the same Lantha like this.

Nong Fah, don't fight over it.

Give it here!

Give it, it's mine.

It's mine!

It's not yours, Fah. It's his.

It's mine!

Fah's gift is over here.

May I?

Come here. Come here.

Ally wants something too.

Here.

Oh, a little dog, Bubuey.

Do you see? I have a red bow for you too.

Tie it around this doggie Bubuey right here.

Tie it around his neck

so that you know that this one is yours.

And it will become

a beautiful bow. Do you see?

Thank you.

Hug it and smile pretty.

I like grandma Malai's way of thinking.

It's lovable.

Yes

When grandma saw me here, I had

a red ribbon bow tied on me.

A red ribbon is

the mark of a valuable gift.

Grandma Malai said that I was her gift.

Grandma liked to teach me to think positively.

I never thought of it was an inferiority complex.

I'm happy that I was the person who both gave and received a gift that time.

If receiving

makes people this happy

I want to make everybody I meet happy.

Like dried flowers, we can make it a beautiful gift.

It just depends if we can see it's beauty.

Sipa

Manao

-Ai Kob is probably going to work for a little bit longer. -Yeah

Then let's go get something to eat.

I feel tired and sleepy.

Before we get there, I"ll be knocked out.

Want some coffee?

-Sounds good. -What do you want?

-Americano, with no sugar. -"Amoricane", you got it.

Thanks

I'll take 2 Americanos with no sugar.

Sipa

Manao

We have not seen each other in a long time, right?

Since we broke up.

At that time it was our third year, second semester.

It's has really been a long time.

Manao, you've gotten prettier.

It's according to the work.

But some things are still the same. It's never changed.

Thank you.

Here, Americano, no sugar.

-Manao. -Lantha, we haven't met in awhile.

You two still look close.

Eh or are you dating now?

Hey, are you crazy? No way.

We will always be friends, right?

Yeah

You're still friends, Sipa?

Don't misunderstand me yet. I was thinking that you have been close for a long time

so I thought you decided to date already.

If we're boyfriend/girlfriend and breakup then we'll become other people, right?

But if we're friends, we'll always be friends.

-Right, Sipa? -Right

It's true. It's good that you and Sipa are just friends.

The old issues have also ended.

We can start anew, right Sipa?

-I'll leave first so you two can talk. -Wait, wait, Ai Lan.

Let's go together. Ai Kob is probably finished by now.

See you, Manao.

Go. Let's go.

We will definitely see each other again.

-Walk, walk, walk. -Hey, Sipa, wait, wait.

What's wrong with you?

Don't tell me that you're running from Manao.

-Running from what? -Sipa is running from Manao.

Manao?

Don't tell me it's that Manao Daoborihan or whatever.

Yeah, that person.

What Manao?

Oh, Sipa's ex-girlfriend from college.

-Hey, but you... -Enough, enough! It doesn't matter which Manao. Where did you park the car, Kob?

Let's hurry before it gets dark. Come on. Come on. Come on.

-Hey! -He's acting strange. -Why?

It looks like he's hurt maybe.
