Love Amidst the Flames

Chap 80

The weekend passed in a bustling and hectic atmosphere. Engfa spent the two days helping Charlotte and Marima organize tasks at the café, handing everything over to Tuni and Ani, who would continue to manage while the two owners returned to Bangkok. The work seemed never-ending, but amid all the busyness, there was also a warmth, like a perfect punctuation mark for a new chapter. Everyone worked hard, but with love and understanding, as if these steps were not just tasks, but a part of life.

Today, Charlotte received a special gift from Engfa, which made her heart flutter. It was a beautiful handmade bracelet made from sparkling gemstones. The bracelet fit perfectly on Charlotte's wrist, as a reminder that Engfa would always be by her side, no matter the distance. Along with the bracelet was a bouquet of bright red roses, releasing a sweet fragrance into the air, symbolizing the deep and passionate love Engfa had for her.

Charlotte opened the small card attached to the bouquet, and her eyes sparkled as she read the hurriedly written yet heartfelt words:

"My dearest,

Today, I give you this bracelet, not just as a gift, but as a piece of me. Each stone on this bracelet represents the memories we've created together. I hope that whenever you wear it, you'll feel the love I have for you.

The red roses symbolize the burning love I have for you. I want you to know that no matter how the world changes, my love for you will never change. You are my joy, the reason I always smile.

Wishing you a wonderful day, my love!

Your sister."

Charlotte felt as if her heart was melting. This gift wasn't just an object, it was love, precious memories, and a confirmation that Engfa would always be by her side, no matter the distance. Charlotte smiled as she put the bracelet on her wrist, feeling its warmth spreading through her heart.

At the same time, Wan had arranged his work to transfer to Bangkok. He kindly helped Marima with everything, so she didn't have to worry. Despite their busy work, they still shared sweet gestures and affectionate glances. They quietly supported each other, no need for many words, but enough to understand that love and care were the most important things for them.

That day, when everything was finally arranged, it was time to rest. As evening came, the café closed early to host a cozy BBQ party at Charlotte and Marima's house to celebrate the new beginning and also bid farewell to their friends in Samui. The party was filled with joy and warmth, with Engfa, Charlotte, Marima, Wan, Tuni, and Ani all present.

Everyone chatted happily, shared memories, and laughed, raising their glasses to celebrate what they had built together. Charlotte and Marima thanked Tuni and Ani for always being reliable companions, helping and overcoming the ups and downs with them.

"When we leave, you both take good care of the café. It's not just a job, it's our family, thank you for being with us," Marima said, her voice full of emotion.

Tuni and Ani were moved, nodding and promising to do their best. They knew that what they were doing wasn't just managing the café, but preserving the values and emotions that Marima and Charlotte had built.

The atmosphere of the party was warm and cozy. Although they weren't a real family, they felt close and intimate, as if they had known each other for a long time. Everyone raised their glasses, talking about future plans, the joys, and the sorrows they would share together. The twinkling lights and the sound of laughter filled the space, making the party a memorable moment.

That evening, when the party ended, everyone stood up, feeling a deep connection. Even though each person had their own path to take, in their hearts, friendship and love would always remain.
