Excerpt from the novel:

"For how long have you deceived me?"
"I can't remember" He shaked his head "I can't remmeber anything now. My head is dizzy."
"Good, then! We're over." I pulled out my clothes to fold and put into the bag. But Rerk pulled my hands, so I could see his red and teary eyes.
"You can't go! I won't let you go!" His voice was fierce.
"Come what may! I will go! I will go!" My tears flew down again. "Let me go on my way, so you can be happy with her."
"I've never called that thing that happiness. If it's happiness, it's just temporary. Damn it! What should I say to make you understand?" He pulled my hand and begged me. "I want you to understand that I not only love you, but I also worship you. No matter how many tens more lovers, they can't replace you. I always tell you even until now."
"But I don't want the word "lover". I hate promiscuity like that. I don't want it to tarnish my marriage life. We've not married for a year yet, Khun Rerk. But you make me lose faith in you...lose love, lose respect, lose everything! You coldbloodedly kill me."
"I don't know which satan or ghost made me mistake evil for good."
"It's not any satan or ghost. But it's your deep desire..the old flame that you said it would never be lighted up again. Actually, it's can be. You just pressed it, trying to deceive yourself that you could forget her. I'm too stupid...too crazy to believe you. You may understand yourself now who you really want. Not me, but Jai-Rerng. I'm just a person you found to substitute for the old one you lost. Actually, you don't love me at all."
