-40- Day 6

[Day 6]

Freen' pov

It's morning. Sunlight streams in through the window. I'm making my coffee, humming to myself. Becky enters the kitchen, looking tired.

" Oh, good morning, Freen. You're up early. " she said and yawned. 

" Good morning, Becky. I was just making coffee. Want some? " I asked lifting my cup. 

" Yes, please. I need it. I had a late night studying. " She agreed. 

" You're always studying. Don't you ever get tired? " I asked as I gave her the cup. 

" I'll get there eventually. But for now, I have to keep up. " she replied coldly. 

" You know, you could take a break. Maybe a little trip? " I suggested. 

" A trip? Where? " 

" My hometown. It's a beautiful place. We could go for a day trip. " I said and smiled at her. 

" Your hometown? I've never been. What's it like? " She asked as she sips the coffee. 

"  It's amazing. There's a beautiful river, a big market with all sorts of delicious food, and a temple with the most stunning views. What do you think? " I answered. 

" That sounds lovely. But I don't know... I have so much to do, plus don't invite me like we're friends and we're fine, because we're not. " She responded that makes my smile fade. 

" Come on, Becky. It'll be fun. We can relax, eat good food, and just enjoy each other's company. " I tried to sue her.

"  I don't know. I really should be studying. " she said. 

"  One day won't hurt. Besides, you can study while you're there. I'll bring my laptop. We can even work on a project together. " I tried to convince her and still smile after the scenario earlier. 

" You're really good at convincing me. Okay, I'll go. " she said.

Third person's pov 

A train station. Freen and Becky are waiting for their train.

" This is so different from Bangkok. It's so quiet and peaceful. " becky stated. 

"  I know, right? It's my favorite thing about it. " freen responded. 

" care to tell me more about your hometown. What's your favorite thing to do here? " she asked. 

"  Hmm, that's tough. I love going for walks by the river, especially in the evening. The sunset is beautiful. " Freen said. 

" And of course, there's the market. It's a bit chaotic, but the food is amazing. " she added pointing at the market. Becky's eyes widened and ran fastly. 

" I can't wait to try it! " she yelled while running. Freen chuckled and ran after becky. How cute. Freen thought. 

 ++++

They're now in the market.  Freen and Becky are browsing through the stalls, trying different foods.

"  Wow, this is incredible! I've never seen so much food in one place. " becky stated. 

" Welcome to my world! " Freen stated and laughed a bit. 

" This is delicious! What is it? " she said after eating the food. 

"  It's Moo Ping, grilled pork with a sweet and savory sauce. " freen chuckled. 

" I'll have to remember that. " 

" And over there, they have the best Pad See Ew in the whole town. " Freen pointed at the stall. 

" Let's try it! "

By the river, evening. Freen and Becky are sitting on a bench, watching the sunset.

" This is so relaxing. I haven't felt this peaceful in ages. " becky said swinging her feet. 

"  I'm glad you're enjoying it. " freen said. 

" Thank you for bringing me here. It's been a really special day. But please do remember, i'm not up for any of these always.  I know what you're doing. " Becky said and looked Freen's eyes. 

" You're welcome, Becky. I'm glad we could spend it together. And yes I know. " Freen said and looked down.

They're now in Freen's childhood home, evening. The house is cozy and filled with the aroma of home-cooked food. Freen and Becky are sitting at the dining table, enjoying a meal prepared by Freen's helper. 

"  This is amazing! Your nanny is an incredible cook. " becky said. 

"  She makes the best Pad See Ew in the whole world. " freen chuckled. 

" This house is so charming. It's like stepping back in time. " becky complimented the house by looking around. 

" It's where I grew up. It holds a lot of memories. " Freen responded. 

 Later that night, Freen and Becky are sitting on the porch swing, watching the stars.

" This is so peaceful. I could get used to this. " becky said and freen smiled.

" You know, I've never really seen this side of you. You're so different in your hometown. " becky said looking at the stars. 

" I guess I'm more relaxed here. It's where I feel most at home. " Freen replied. 

"  I like this side of you. You're so genuine and kind. " becky said honestly. 

" And you're beautiful, both inside and out. " Freen replied looking at becky. 

"  Freen... " 

" ' I never brought any girl here. Not my friends, or Prim. And Im glad I brought you here. " Freen stated and it leaves Becky speechless, for real.

 The next day, Freen and Becky are walking to the train station.

" I'm going to miss this place. " becky said and looked around. 

The train came and it's gliding through the countryside, the setting sun casting a warm glow through the windows. Freen and Becky are seated together, their shoulders brushing. Becky is looking out the window, lost in thought.

"  You seem quiet. Is everything alright? " freen asked. 

" Oh, I'm just thinking. Yesterday has been so… magical. " becky replied. 

" I know, right? It feels like a dreaam.  Becky. It's been… the best day trip ever. " Freen responded holding becky's hand. 

"  You know, I’ve been thinking… " freen stopped when becky immediately removed her hand from freen's grip. 

" Thinking what? " 

" I wouldn’t mind doing this again, maybe… even more often. " she continued. 

"  I think we’d have a lot of fun together. " she added. 

 I know we would — someday.

They share a long, lingering look, the unspoken words hanging in the air between them. The sunset paints a warm glow on their faces, illuminating their shared moment of connection and unspoken feelings. 

This scene and time just faded out as the train continues its journey, carrying Freen and Becky towards home, their hearts filled with the promise of more shared adventures and the sweet anticipation of what their future might hold. 

Freen hopes there's more. 

Becky hopes Freen doesn't stop hoping.
