Endless Affection ( In the end , love always finds a way )

( 29) The Unspoken Past and Present Bonds

(City Hospital, Bangkok)

(Siya's uncle comes to the hospital to meet her. He goes to her, places a hand on her head, sits beside her, and asks about her well-being )

Uncle: How are you, dear?

Siya : I'm fine, uncle. How are you?

Uncle: I'm also fine, dear. Have you taken your medicine?

Siya : Yes, uncle. The nurse gave me the medicine.

Uncle: Good, dear. Get well soon, and then we'll go home.

(Siya smiles and sits quietly. She is thinking about why her Warin didn't come to visit her today, even though she had promised to.)

Uncle: What are you thinking, dear?

Siya : Nothing, uncle.

Uncle: If there's something on your mind, please discuss it with me.

Siya : Uncle aa...."mam" didn't come to the hospital today.

Uncle: Are you missing her?

Siya : No, uncle, I'm not missing her. I just asked because she had said she would keep coming to meet me. It's not a big deal.

Uncle: So, our little princess is missing her teacher?

Siya : No, uncle, it's not like that. I told you she had mentioned it, so I asked.

Uncle: Okay, if you say so, I'll call her and say that our little daughter is thinking of her and asks if she'll come to visit.

Siya : No, uncle, please don't do that. I'm not missing her.

(Uncle takes out his phone to call her , but Siya takes the phone from his hand )

Siya : I told you, uncle, please don't do that.

Uncle: Alright, alright, I won't make the call. Give me my phone back now.

Siya : Hmm.

(She says this and hands the phone back to her uncle.)

Siya : By the way, uncle, where did you get her number from?

Uncle: I got it from her. If there's ever an urgent matter or if our dear Siya wants to reach out, at least we can contact her.

(He says this with a smile.)

Siya : Uncle, you always tease me.

Uncle: Alright, dear, I won't bother you. Now, smile, because you look angry, and your nose is turning red.

( Siya smiles.)

Uncle: If you ever want her number, you can take it.

Siya : No, uncle, what would I do with her number? I don't want her number.

Uncle: Are you sure?

Siya : Yes, uncle, I'm sure.

Uncle: Alright, dear... By the way, this teacher- Warin of yours, is she the new teacher?

Siya : Hmm.

(Just then, uncle's phone rings.)

Uncle: Let me take this call and come back, dear.

(Uncle goes outside to answer the call. After the call, he returns to Siya )

Uncle: I have to go now, dear. There's something urgent.

Siya : Okay, uncle, you can go.

Uncle: Take care, dear.

Siya : Hmm.
