Serendipitous Love: A Senior's Journey

Prang and her Sweets

Chapter 3- Tutoring

Prang, driven by her desire to foster a closer connection with Warang, approached Thida with a heartfelt request. She saw an opportunity to bring Warang and her close friend Belle together through tutoring sessions. Unbeknownst to Thida, Prang hoped that this would create a chance for her to grow closer to Warang.

Prang: (earnestly) "Thida, I think it would be wonderful if Warang could tutor not just me, but also my close friend Belle. It could be a chance for all of us to learn from her expertise and build stronger connections."

Thida, unaware of Prang's underlying intentions, recognized the potential benefits of bringing them together for tutoring sessions. She also saw an opportunity to keep Warang occupied and help her move past the argument with Gyoza.

Thida: (supportively) "Prang, that's a great idea. I'm actually working on a project with Gyoza, so having Warang tutor you and Belle could be a productive use of her time. Let me talk to Warang and propose this arrangement."

Prang's heart fluttered with anticipation, hopeful that this plan would bring her closer to Warang. She believed that spending time together in a learning environment would provide the perfect opportunity to deepen their connection.

In the following days, Thida approached Warang, presenting the idea of tutoring Prang and Belle. Thida saw it as a chance to keep Warang occupied and foster positive interactions.

Thida: (encouragingly) "Warang, I have a proposition for you. Prang and Belle have expressed a desire for tutoring, and I think you would be the perfect fit. It could be a way to channel your expertise and help mend any lingering tensions."

Thida noticed Warang's hesitation when it came to tutoring Prang and Belle. Sensing Warang's guarded demeanor and desire to be alone, Thida approached her with empathy and understanding.

Thida: (compassionately) "Warang, I understand that you value your solitude, but I believe that helping others can also bring healing to ourselves. By tutoring Prang and Belle, you may find a sense of purpose and distraction from your own thoughts. It could be a way to channel your knowledge and make a positive impact."

Warang looked at Thida, her expression guarded yet contemplative. She had been keeping her emotions at bay, not wanting to reveal her vulnerability.

Warang: (hesitant) "Thida, I appreciate your consideration, but I'm not sure if tutoring Prang and Belle is the right choice for me. I prefer to deal with my own thoughts and emotions in solitude."

Thida remained patient, understanding the walls Warang had built around herself.

Thida: (gently) "I understand your need for solitude, Warang. However, sometimes reaching out and connecting with others can be a pathway to healing. It doesn't have to be a permanent commitment, but it might provide a temporary respite and even an opportunity for personal growth."

Warang's guarded facade softened slightly as she contemplated Thida's words. She realized that isolating herself completely might not be the best approach to healing.

Warang: (reluctantly) "Alright, Thida. I will give it a try. I'll tutor Prang and Belle, but I can't promise that I'll be fully engaged emotionally."

Thida nodded, appreciating Warang's willingness to step out of her comfort zone.

Thida: (supportively) "Thank you, Warang. Just giving it a chance is a positive step forward. Who knows, this tutoring arrangement might bring unexpected connections and personal growth for all of you."

Warang agreed to tutor Prang and Belle, still guarded and uncertain about the impact it would have on her own healing process. But deep down, she acknowledged the possibility that helping others might provide a temporary escape from her own thoughts and offer a chance for personal development.

As Prang and Belle sat together, studying and exchanging occasional giggles, Warang observed their interaction from her seat next to Prang. Suddenly, Prang turned towards Warang, a mischievous smile on her face.

Prang: (playfully) "Warang, I have a little treat for you. I brought some sweets to make our study session more enjoyable. Give it a try!"

Belle, sitting beside Prang, joined in with an amused giggle, excited to witness the sweet moment.

Belle: (giggling) "Come on, Warang! You have to try one. Prang's sweets are always delightful."

Warang, slightly taken aback by the unexpected offer.

As Prang and Belle sat together, studying and exchanging occasional giggles, Prang noticed Warang's hesitation when it came to the sweets she had brought.

Prang: (optimistically) "Warang, I brought some sweets to make our study session more enjoyable. They can provide a quick energy boost and improve our mood. Please, give it a try."

Warang, still reluctant, shook her head.

Warang: (hesitant) "Thank you, Prang, but I really don't have a sweet tooth. I prefer to focus on our studies without any distractions."

Prang remained positive, understanding Warang's preference but not giving up on her attempt to bring a little sweetness to their study session. She gently placed the plate of sweets near Warang's hand.

Prang: (encouragingly) "I understand, Warang. Just in case you change your mind, the sweets are here. No pressure. Let's continue studying."

Warang looked at the star shaped sweets, contemplating Prang's persistence. She appreciated Prang's understanding and decided to leave the option open, even if she wasn't ready to indulge just yet.

On another tutor day, Prang arrived with her usual offering of sweets for Warang, determined to bring a touch of sweetness to their study session. Warang, though initially hesitant, decided to humor Prang and give it another try.

Prang: (excitedly) "Warang, I brought your favorite chocolate bar today! I thought it might help make our study session a little sweeter."

Warang, with a subtle smirk, decided to accept the chocolate bar. She took a small bite, chewing it slowly while maintaining her focus on the task at hand.

Warang: (with a hint of amusement) "Alright, Prang. Let's not forget our main objective here – the tests I've prepared for you."

Prang couldn't help but smile widely, her eyes lighting up with joy at Warang's willingness to try the sweet treat.

Prang: (grinning) "Thank you, Warang! I appreciate your openness. Now, let's dive into these tests and show what we've learned."

As they delved into their studies, Belle couldn't resist teasing Prang in a playful whisper, sensing her excitement.

Belle: (whispering) "Looks like your sweets are working their magic on Warang. You've made her smile again."

Prang blushed, trying to hide her delight at Belle's observation. She refocused her attention on studying, determined to make the most of the session.

Meanwhile, Warang observed the younger students with a sense of satisfaction. She couldn't help but smirk, realizing that even amidst her initial hesitations, the connection and camaraderie they were building were slowly making their mark.

Warang: (to herself) "These juniors have quite the spirit. Perhaps there's more to be gained from this tutoring arrangement than I initially thought."

With renewed determination, Warang dove into the tests, ready to showcase her knowledge and guide Prang and Belle towards success.
