(34) Unraveling Emotions and Jealousy

(At Freen's place)

Somsak goes to Freen, who is sitting in one place, holding her head in her hands, with tears in her eyes.

Somsak: *sits beside her* What's wrong? You don't usually react like this, and you never get angry at students for such small things. Why the sudden anger?

Somsak gives Freen a side hug and asks her to share what's bothering her. Freen tells Somsak that Siya was admitted to the hospital and explained the whole incident. Somsak asks why Siya isn't coming to college, and Freen reveals that Siya's uncle told her to keep it a secret. She also advises Somsak not to tell anyone about it.

Somsak reassures Freen that he won't share the secret but asks why she's stressed now. Freen admits that she can't get what happened yesterday out of her mind, and she doesn't know why she's so angry. She's never been this angry before.

Somsak asks if she's thinking about Siya, and Freen says she doesn't want to, but Siya's thoughts keep intruding into her mind. Somsak suggests that maybe Freen has started to like Siya, but Freen denies it, saying it's impossible. Somsak explains that when we like someone, we tend to think about them a lot, and it takes time to understand our feelings.

He tells her that if she truly likes Siya, she will figure it out on her own. But if it's just stress from yesterday, it will pass in a day or two, and everything will be back to normal.

Freen asks about Somsak's experiences, and he admits that he used to think about Freen a lot when they first met because he was falling in love with her. Somsak suggests that one way to know if you truly like someone is if their thoughts keep coming to you the most at night, causing sleepless nights and missing them intensely even when you don't meet or talk to them.

Freen says, "Okay."
Somsak tells her not to worry, saying he'll always support her in whatever she chooses. He encourages her to get in a better mood and suggests they leave for now. Freen thanks Somsak, and they both head off.

(At Siya's home in Bangkok)
Siya's uncle arrives at her house. Siya is lost in her thoughts, and she doesn't notice him until he calls her.

Siya : When did you arrive, Uncle?
Uncle: I just arrived when you were lost in your thoughts.

Siya : I'm sorry, Uncle. I didn't notice.

Uncle: It's okay. By the way, can I know what you were thinking about?

Siya : No one in particular, Uncle.

Uncle: Alright, forget about that. Did you take your medicine?

Siya : Yes, Uncle.

Uncle: Are you happy, dear?

Siya : Why, Uncle? Why are you suddenly asking this?

Uncle: Well, I can read the silence on your face.

Siya : I am happy, Uncle. I'm just feeling a bit lonely.

Uncle: Okay, then tell me, what should we do about that?

Siya : Uncle, I want to go back to college from tomorrow.

Uncle: But dear, you should fully recover first.

Siya : Uncle, I'm completely fine now. Look, even the injury on my head has healed. If I keep sitting at home like this, I'll only get sicker. Going to college, meeting my friends, and being with them will help me recover mentally and physically. You've always said you want to see me well in both aspects, so I want to go to college for my mental well-being.

Uncle: Alright, dear. If you want to go to college from tomorrow, you can. But I have one condition.

Siya : What's the condition, Uncle?
