The Judgement pg.51-130


During the school vacation,  Fak didn’t have any work to attend , so he looked for a hired job, and he was being hired by the households to do some weird jobs. One day, M’am Songsom was so angry and took off her sarong so Fak was about to tell her to put it on. Suddenly, the villager came and saw thewhat was happening, and they all stop hiring Fak. So he was left alone with no works and he couldn’t go on with his life. He couldn’t sleep and become thinner and thinner.
               
In the New Year day, people came to make a merit, they bring food to the monk, and listening to the chanting. M’am Somsong made a trouble to herself again and got hit by Song for not showing the respect to his ancestor. No matter how hard he tried to tell everybody that he has never once slept together with her, but no one believed him. Everyone would let Fak kept attend and great care of his big lady and that made him even emptier because he’s not allowed to participate in any activity that happened in the village. When the school reopened, Fak got back to his life with his work. There’s a dog behind the school and people suspected that it was a road dog and it might bite one of the students, so the school owner decided to let Fak killed the mad dog. This was the first time that Fak broke one of the 5 rules of being a good person. He has killed that dog although he wasn’t even sure that it was a mad dog. Fak felt sorry for what he did.

Now Fak would like to make a funeral for his dad, and decided to borrow the headmaster money from him. Then, he went to Uncle Khai house to inform him and hire him to help manage the funeral ceremony. Unexpected thing occurred. Uncle Khai believed what Fak said about M’am Somsong that they never have an affair with each other. However, Fak didn’t trust him because Uncle Khai easily believed of what he said or maybe Uncle Khai wanted to make a lot of money. Fak thought that Uncle Khai might have cheated him. Fak spread the invitation around the village, but no one said anything. That’s evening during the funeral, no one came and that’s really disappointed Fak. He even felt sorry for his dad soul. That night, Uncle Khai introduced Fak to the rice wine which would make Fak forgot all about his depression. It is also weird because, later  his only friend introduced Fak to alcoholism which an mean to help him release from stress. However, this leads Fak to his dead. Alcohol give him more pleasure and make Fak to gain more confidence. Fak could easily fell asleep and alcohol helped erase all the suffering. He even considered the alcohol to be his best friend, and every time he would go to Uncle Khai house for a chat. He got addicted to alcohol and every time he would increase the amount until his desire for alcohol increase that the villagers criticized him and couldn’t believe that the young Fak would end up becoming addicted to alcohol.
