( still Around 12 Am, At "The Wong's hospital" :;)
( Still Outside Siri's mom's Office )":
...Siri's mom looked up from Khun Araya's departure and smiled warmly at Yot. "What brings you here, sweetie? Don't you have piano class today?" she asked, her voice filled with affection.
Yot nodded, "Yes, Mae, I do. But we wanted to bring you lunch. We didn't want you to get hungry." He gestured to the beautifully crafted wooden box in Siri's hands.
Siri's mom's gaze followed Yot's gesture, and her eyes landed on the box. She looked at Siri, her expression calm and neutral, before returning her attention to Yot. "Thank you, darling. That's so thoughtful of you."
As she spoke, her tone and smile softened slightly when looking at Yot, but her gaze lingered on Siri with a hint of detachment.
Siri's mom then calmly took the lunch box from Siri and smiled warmly at Yot. "Thank you, darling. I'm sure I'll enjoy it."
Siri's mom then noticed the half -drunk Thai iced tea in Yot's hand. "What's that you've got there, sweetie? Is it good?" She asked calmly,
Yot nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, Mom. P' got it for me. It's really sweet. Do you want some?" His tone fullied with excitement
Siri's mom's gaze turned to Siri, her expression disapproving. "No, thank you, sweetie. It's too early for sweet drinks." She calmly rejected Yot's offer,
Her tone was polite, but her gaze lingered on Siri, implying that she disapproved of Siri giving Yot sweet drinks so early in the morning.
Yot looked down his face falling slightly "Okay, Mom. I'll save it for later then."
Siri's mom said with a warm, teasing smile "You're almost done, might as well finish it, huh?" Her tone was lighthearted and playful.
Yot's face lit up with a genuine smile "Really , thanks Mae!" His voice fullied with joy
Then, she smiled warmly at Yot and said to Siri, "You can drop him off at his piano class." Her voice was gentle yet lacks affection
Siri nodded curtly, her expression neutral. "Okay, Mae . Have a nice day." Her tone was polite but detached, with a hint of finality.
Siri's mom then gently touched Yot's hair, her eyes softening with affection. "Off you go, sweetie. Have a good class." Her voice was warm and nurturing, a stark contrast to her interaction with Siri.
As Siri and Yot walked down the corridor towards the executive lift, they passed by the same sleek, polished doors with a discreet keycard reader that they had used earlier to access the floor. Yot was still sipping on his Thai iced tea, while Siri carried the nylon bag.
When they reached the lift, Siri's mom was standing outside, smiling and waving at Yot. "Have a great piano class, sweetie!" she said, her voice warm and cheerful.
Yot waved back enthusiastically, and Siri politely bowed to her mom. Her mom's smile faltered slightly as she met Siri's gaze, but she still managed a gentle nod.
Siri pressed the lift button, and the doors slid open. "Let's go, Yot," she said, stepping inside. Yot followed, still waving at their mom as thedoor closes.
As the elevator doors closed with a soft whoosh, the lift lurched into motion, Yot looked up at Siri with big, pleading eyes.
"P, can you please pick me up after my piano class? Pleeease?" he asked, his voice dripping with sweetness.
Siri raised an eyebrow, with mild curiosity, "Why...what's wrong?"
"Nothing serious, I want you to meet my new friend! " Excited Yot replies politely,
Siri gave Yot a gentle "Ohhhh," her tone warm but not overly enthusiastic.
Yot's face lit up with excitement. " He's really nice, and I think you'll like him. Plus, it'll be fun! Please, P' ?"
Siri chuckled, amused by Yot's persistence. "Okay, I'll think about it."
Yot's eyes grew wide with worry. "P' , please don't be late! If you're late, you might not get to meet them! Please try to be there early, okay? I really want you to meet my friend!"
Siri smiled, touched by Yot's enthusiasm. "Okay, I have heard, don't worry." Her voice calm
Yot's eyes crinkled at the corners as he beamed with delight. " Pinky promise?"
He held out his pinky finger, his eyes sparkling with anticipation,
Siri chuckled and wrapped her pinky around his, " Fine,Pinky promise, little one. I'll be there."
Yot grinned, looking satisfied, and shook her pinky gently before letting go.
As the elevator's gentle hum softened to a whisper and the floor indicator chimed softly to signal their arrival on the Ground Floor, Yot grinned, satisfied. "Thanks, P'Siri! You're the best!" The doors slid open with a gentle whoosh,
With the doors open, Yot and Siri stepped out of the elevator, merging into the flow of people in the lobby.....
