Vehicle Ad Chapter 14
Welcome to Chapter 14 of the 'Vehicle Ad' podcast.
Tienyod, at 70 years old, has made a remarkable and
mysterious exchange by selling her spirit to a ghost in exchange for the blue
light necklace she now wears. This spectral transaction, designed to rejuvenate her
essence and impart youth, allows her to project a vibrant and enigmatic aura
despite her age. The
blue light from the necklace symbolizes this supernatural pact, hinting at both
her personal transformation and the eerie connection to the ghostly realm. As she navigates her new
role and interactions, the necklace’s glow serves as a constant, mystical
reminder of the age-defying
bargain she struck.
Tienyod has entered into a unique and solemn pact with a
ghost who, bound by unfinished business from a past life, has tasked her with a
profound duty. The
ghost, yearning to ensure the well-being of a lover from a previous incarnation, has bestowed
upon Tienyod a blue light necklace as a symbol of this commitment. This necklace signifies her
obligation to care for and watch over the ghost’s past lover, intertwining her
present actions with the unresolved emotions of another era. The blue light serves as a
constant reminder of her sacred duty, reflecting the weight and gravity of this
supernatural responsibility she has taken on.
Tienyod, now serving as both the secretary and wife of
Lawyer Soda, faces a poignant moment of duty and personal commitment. As Soda’s secretary, she’s tasked with a seemingly
simple but symbolically significant job: purchasing a birthday gift for Itim. This request, coming from
her husband and boss, intertwines her professional responsibilities with her
personal life, underscoring the complex dynamics of their relationship. Her adherence to Soda's
command reflects her dedication to both her roles, highlighting the balance she
must maintain between professional obligations and her personal connections. The task of buying the gift
carries added weight, representing her support and respect for Soda’s social and business circles
while honoring the ghostly pact she is bound to fulfill.
At the bustling North Thai market, Tienyod navigates the
vibrant stalls with a mix of purpose and curiosity. The market, alive with
colorful produce, fragrant spices, and local crafts, offers a sensory feast
that contrasts with the gravity of her task. As she moves from stall to stall,
her focus is on finding the perfect birthday gift for Itim, a duty assigned by
her husband and boss, Lawyer Soda. The lively market atmosphere provides a rich backdrop for
her search, as she engages with vendors and considers various items, all while
reflecting on the significance of her role in fulfilling both her professional
and personal commitments. The experience of wandering through the market, amidst
the sights and sounds of North Thai culture, adds a layer of depth to her
journey and highlights the intersection of her duties and daily life.
As Tienyod explores the vibrant North Thai market, she is
drawn to a stall showcasing an array of artisanal candles infused with
traditional Thai herbs. Amid the fragrant selection, she selects a Thai herb
aroma candle as the perfect birthday gift for Itim. The candle, crafted with
natural ingredients and imbued with the calming scents of lemongrass, kaffir
lime, and Thai basil, represents a thoughtful and culturally resonant choice. Its aromatic blend captures
the essence of Thai heritage, making it not just a gift, but a meaningful token
of appreciation. The
choice reflects Tienyod’s careful consideration of the significance of the
occasion and her dedication to fulfilling her role in both her personal and
professional life.
Tienyod, having completed her shopping at the North Thai
market, takes the moo ping (pork skewers) she bought for the dog near Soda's law office. As she approaches the
office, she finds the dog waiting eagerly. With a warm smile, she hands over
the skewers, and the dog's tail wags enthusiastically, clearly delighted by the
treat. The
small act of kindness brings a moment of joy to both Tienyod and the grateful
animal. After
the exchange, Tienyod calls a taxi to return to the office, feeling a sense of
satisfaction from her thoughtful gesture and ready to resume her duties as
Lawyer Soda's secretary and wife.
Upon returning to Soda’s law office, Tienyod swiftly
transitions back into her role as secretary. She begins by organizing and
reviewing the day's correspondence and legal documents, ensuring everything is
in order for Soda’s
review. She
schedules appointments, answers phone calls, and manages the office's calendar
with meticulous attention. Tienyod also prepares briefs and reports as needed, all
while maintaining a professional demeanor. Her efficiency and attention to
detail ensure that the office runs smoothly, demonstrating her commitment to
both her professional responsibilities and her role as Soda’s supportive spouse.
As Tienyod stands in front of the office mirror, she takes a
moment to admire her reflection. Despite her age, the youthful glow and beauty she exudes
bring a sense of satisfaction and pride. The blue light from her necklace
subtly illuminates her features, enhancing her radiant appearance. She smiles at the sight,
feeling a deep sense of contentment and confidence in her enduring charm. This brief moment of self-reflection allows her to
appreciate the benefits of the supernatural pact she made, affirming her belief
in the renewed vitality and beauty she enjoys.
At lunchtime, knowing Soda’s fondness for khao soi, Tienyod
arranges for a delivery of this beloved North Thai dish. When the fragrant, curry-laden noodles arrive, she
carefully transfers the dish into a traditional North Thai bowl, enhancing the
authentic dining experience. The rich, aromatic khao soi, with its layers of crispy
noodles, tender chicken, and spicy coconut curry, is presented with a touch of
care that reflects Tienyod’s attention to detail and her dedication to providing a
comforting and satisfying meal for Soda. This thoughtful gesture adds a
personal touch to their lunch, celebrating Soda's favorite flavors while
honoring North Thai culinary traditions.
As Tienyod carefully serves the khao soi she has lovingly
prepared for Soda, she looks up with a thoughtful expression and asks, “Do you love me?” The question, tender and
sincere, reflects her desire for affirmation and connection amidst the daily
routine. Her
inquiry seeks reassurance and deepens their emotional bond, highlighting her
need to feel valued and cherished in their relationship, even as she fulfills
her professional duties and personal responsibilities.
When Tienyod asks Soda, “Do you love me?” he responds with a calm, yet
firm, “No,
but I’m
happy to be your husband.” His answer, though not as romantic as Tienyod might have
hoped, reveals a pragmatic acceptance of their relationship. Soda’s response underscores his
contentment with their partnership and his commitment to their life together,
even if it lacks the emotional depth she seeks. This exchange reflects the
complexities of their relationship, balancing the practicalities of their roles
with Tienyod’s
longing for a deeper emotional connection.
After Tienyod’s heartfelt question, Soda, with a curious and slightly
puzzled tone, asks, “Why
did you choose me?” His
inquiry reflects a desire to understand Tienyod’s motivations and feelings behind
their union. This
question opens a space for Tienyod to share her reasons and emotions,
potentially shedding light on her decision to enter into their relationship and
the dynamics of their partnership. Soda’s query underscores a moment of introspection and a search
for clarity about their connection, seeking to comprehend the foundations of
their bond.
In response to Soda’s question, Tienyod explains, “I have a duty to take care of
you, which I exchanged for youth.” She reveals that her commitment to Soda stems from a
supernatural pact she made, trading her spirit for a renewed sense of vitality
and youth. This
duty, bound by her agreement with the ghost, underscores the complexity of her
feelings and responsibilities within their relationship. Tienyod’s explanation provides
insight into her motivations and the unique circumstances surrounding their
partnership, highlighting both her sense of obligation and the mystical
elements that influence her life.
Upon hearing Tienyod’s explanation about her duty being tied
to a supernatural exchange for youth, Soda chuckles, treating her revelation as
if it were a joke. His
laughter, though light-hearted, reveals his surprise and amusement at the
unexpected nature of her response. He interprets her words with a sense of humor, perhaps
finding the concept of a mystical pact both intriguing and amusing. Soda’s reaction adds a playful
dimension to their conversation, balancing the seriousness of Tienyod’s duty with a more relaxed
and jovial response.
As Soda laughs off Tienyod’s explanation of her duty tied to a
supernatural exchange for youth, Tienyod joins in with a laugh of her own,
appreciating the humor in the situation. Their shared laughter lightens the
mood, momentarily bridging the gap between their differing perspectives. Meanwhile, the blue light
from Tienyod’s
necklace begins to shine more intensely, casting an ethereal glow around them. The shimmering light serves
as a subtle reminder of the ghostly pact and adds a touch of magic to their
light-hearted
exchange, blending the mystical with their everyday interactions.
In a moment of playful candor, Tienyod teases Soda by
calling him a "nerd
boy," a
light-hearted
jab at his somewhat reserved and intellectual demeanor. Despite their marital
status, she clarifies that their relationship remains platonic, with no
physical intimacy between them. This candid remark highlights the unique dynamic of their
marriage, where affection is expressed differently. The comment reflects Tienyod’s straightforwardness and the
unconventional nature of their relationship, blending humor with an honest
portrayal of their bond.
With a hint of vulnerability, Tienyod asks Soda, “Do you think I’m ugly?” Her question, laced with
insecurity, seeks reassurance and validation about her appearance. The query reveals a deeper
need for affirmation, contrasting with her earlier playful teasing and
highlighting her desire for genuine emotional support. By addressing her concerns
about her looks, Tienyod opens up a space for Soda to express his feelings,
potentially reinforcing their connection and offering comfort amid their unique
relationship dynamic.
When Tienyod asks Soda if she is ugly, his response is both
blunt and revealing: “I
love Dang.” This
admission uncovers a complex layer of Soda’s emotions, indicating that his
affections are directed toward Dang, despite the fact that Dang is already
married to Itim. Soda’s declaration sheds light on
the tangled web of relationships within their social circle, where personal
feelings and connections are deeply intertwined and often conflicted. This moment exposes the
intricate dynamics and unspoken tensions that simmer beneath the surface of
their interactions. Soda’s confession introduces a new
layer of complexity to the conversation, underscoring the emotional
entanglements and moral dilemmas faced by each individual as they navigate
their interconnected lives. The revelation not only highlights Soda’s personal struggle but also
adds a poignant element to their relationships, casting a shadow over the
seemingly mundane aspects of their daily interactions.
After revealing his feelings for Dang, Soda shifts his
attention back to Tienyod and asks with genuine concern, “Are you okay?” This question reflects his
recognition of the emotional weight of his earlier confession and his
sensitivity to how it might affect her. By inquiring about her well-being, Soda shows a more
compassionate side, indicating that despite his complex emotions and the
tangled nature of their relationships, he still cares about Tienyod’s feelings and seeks to
ensure she is coping well. His question underscores the duality of their
interactions—where
personal truths and emotional complexities coexist with a fundamental concern
for each other’s
emotional state.
Tienyod responds with a mixture of resolve and satisfaction,
saying, “I’m happy to be your fake wife
with no sex and your secretary.” Her statement reflects her acceptance of their
unconventional arrangement and her contentment with the roles she plays in
Soda's life. Despite
the lack of physical intimacy in their relationship and the complexities that
come with being both a spouse and a professional secretary, Tienyod expresses a
sense of fulfillment in her unique position. This response underscores her
commitment to their arrangement and highlights her ability to find happiness
and purpose within the boundaries of their unconventional partnership.
Tienyod, curious and seeking to understand Soda’s emotions, asks, “What do you feel when you see
Dang and Itim as a couple?” Her question probes into Soda’s feelings about witnessing
the relationship between Dang and Itim, given his own admission of affection
for Dang. This
inquiry aims to uncover Soda’s inner conflict and emotional responses, exploring how he
copes with the presence of Dang’s marriage to Itim while navigating his own complex
feelings. Tienyod’s question reveals her
interest in Soda’s
emotional landscape and provides insight into the broader emotional context of
their intertwined relationships.
Soda responds to Tienyod’s question with a heartfelt
admission, saying, “It
hurts to see Dang and Itim together.” His words reveal the emotional pain
he feels as he observes their relationship, highlighting the personal struggle
and longing he experiences. Despite this, he expresses gratitude towards Tienyod,
acknowledging, “Thank
you for being the reason I got closer to Dang.” Soda’s appreciation underscores that
Tienyod’s
presence and their unique arrangement have, paradoxically, helped him develop a
deeper connection with Dang. This moment of honesty and gratitude reflects Soda’s complex emotional landscape
and the unintended positive outcomes of their unconventional relationship
dynamic.
