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

(35). The Cupcake Gesture

( Siya goes to the bathroom and comes out, then Freen enters the bathroom. Siya isn't paying attention, and they almost collide. They end up very close to each other and stare at each other. Freen starts to have thoughts about Siya)

Why does this often happen?
Whenever you are close,
There's a unique feeling,
I can't quite understand,
Is this love, or have I felt something?

This time, Siya is conscious and apologizes to Freen for not paying attention.

She hurriedly leaves, and Freen is about to say something to her but thinks that hearing "sorry" from Siya is very different.

Outside the bathroom, siya thinks about how to give Freen a thank-you gift. She's unsure and heads home with her friends when college is over. Juhu asks siya if she'll join them for a restaurant visit, but siya declines, citing her health.

(Night, 8:00 pm)

( Siya paces her room, wondering what gift to give Freen and how to do it. She finally decides to make cupcakes for Freen but doesn't know how. She then thinks of asking Miss Daral for help.

{Next Morning, 7:00 am}
(siya's home, Bangkok)

(Siya goes to the kitchen to gather ingredients to make cupcakes but still doesn't know how to make them. She calls Miss Daral for help.)

Siya: Miss Daral! (Miss Daral hears her and comes to the kitchen.)

Miss Daral: "What's the matter, dear? And why are you in the kitchen so early? If you need something, ask the servants; that's what they're here for.

Siya: "No, Miss Daral... I was trying to make cupcakes myself.

Miss Daral: "But, dear, if you want cupcakes, I can make them for you.

Siya: No, Miss Daral, I want to cook for myself.

Miss Daral: But you've never cooked for yourself before. Why start today? Let the servants handle it. You don't have the habit, and you might burn your hand.

Siya: I've never cooked before, that's why I want to cook today, and my hand won't burn,
Miss Daral. Please help me.

Miss Daral: "Alright, dear, but are you really cooking for yourself?

Siya: Yes, Miss Daral. Please help me quickly; I need to get ready for college.

Miss Daral: Okay, dear.

(Miss Daral gives siya the recipe, and she starts making cupcakes. After baking, siya burns her hand while taking them out of the oven. She screams, and Miss Daral rushes to her
side.)

Miss Daral: Does it hurt a lot, dear?

Siya: No, Miss Daral, I'm fine. It's just a little burning.

Miss Daral: You shouldn't have cooked, dear. It's not your habit. You won't go to the kitchen from now on.

Siya: Alright, Miss Daral. Please apply some ointment so I can leave.

Miss Daral: Okay, dear.

(Siya goes to the kitchen, packs the cupcakes in a container, and Miss Daral watches her. Miss Daral asks why she's packing them. Siya replies that she's planning to share them with her friends in college. Miss Daral is pleased and wants to taste one, but siya stops her)

Siya: No, Miss Daral, I'll make it for you another time. Please don't lie.

Miss Daral: Dear, I'm not lying. I'm just taking one cupcake from it.

Siya: (siya packs the box and holds it) This is not for you, so you can't eat it.

(And saying this, she leaves. Miss Daral wonders what's going on with Siya today, as she usually doesn't do all this for her friends.)
