Sweet Situation: Escape from Love to You

Prologue

She shouldn't have loved him...

The young lady said to herself, her sad face and eyes staring at the tree. And the sky in front of her, no matter how beautiful the sunset horizon, doesn't make her feel any better. The feelings in her heart were tortured to the point where she was almost helpless. Her eyes rounded, looking at the orange sky where the sun was setting down. Before moving up from the chair, she wandered.

"You... help me buy some."

The young woman glanced back before turning to look at the snacks that were lined up in the basket

"Do you want Rose-Layer Sweet Cake?"

"Not better. I saw a rose, and I didn't feel well."

An old woman looked up and smiled with a warm smile.

"Sweet Stuffed Dough," she said after a long silence. "And Toddy Palm Cake."

"Do you work in the area?"

"No," she replied in a low tone. "I just come and take a walk."

"Thirty baht."

She paid and reached out to take a bag of snacks from the vendor.

"Er... Wait a minute. This is your first time coming to this park, right?"

"Ah... Yeah!"

"I have a good story to tell..." Grandma Selling Snacks, spaces out quietly before continuing, "I heard that the court next to this garden is very sacred, especially about love and marriage."

The young woman smiled and not believe the grandmother's words.

"My granddaughter used to make wishes and wishful thinking."

"I think..."

"Some people say that if you pray intensely enough, your wishes will come true."

"Oh, well, I'll come and try it." When she finished speaking, she decamped. Until she walked far enough away. So, she stopped because her confused heart was restless.

In her heart, is it hoping? Is it too absurd?

The young lady took a deep breath, holding back the tears that were flowing down her cheeks once more.

"Damn..." she said to herself. As she walked out of the garden. When she looked up from the floor, she looked straight ahead. Then she stopped. Is this the shrine that Grandma Selling Snacks is talking about, right?

A medium-sized shrine is located directly opposite a large tree. There are several flowers and garlands that people bring to worship. The young woman raised her hand and rubbed her upper arm as a wind blew through, as if something had come and gone. She didn't walk in but stood there staring to decide what to do next.

But in the end, she could make a wish until...

The young lady sighed as she walked away from the shrine. She stopped walking and turned around to investigate the distance before slowly moving on. She believed little of what Grandma selling snacks had said. If whatever she was asking had to be true.

It's beyond belief!

That's when the phone rang, and she was jolted out of her daydream. Pick up the phone and peek at the other end of the line before pressing and accept the call.

[Read the message yet? Don't forget the appointment.]

"Hmm..." the young lady replied in a low tone. While looking at the road ahead, that was not so far away.

[Is something wrong? The sound seems...]

The last question did not even make it into the auditory nerve. She is drawn to events in front of the screams and sees the commotion caused by nearby adolescents' fights for dominance. In the end, she didn't give a shit about it and stood there in shock for a long time. Until she glimpsed the sword as it flew at her. She looked up in shock as it soared towards her face.

The young woman had been conscious and survived. Soon, several shots were heard. Everyone either stooped down or ran away. Among the other teenagers without guns, they ran and dodged, but threw something close to them. Until the person holding the gun turned around, raised his hand, and aimed.

She looked at the incident in a perplexed manner. Her legs and body were unresponsive, as if in shock. Until the sound of another gunshot brings them back to consciousness. The young lady looked at the boy as he fell to the ground in shock. Before hearing several shots fired. The nearby villagers ran away in fear.

The young woman hurriedly tried to get as far away as possible, but she suddenly felt a pain in the back of her chest and then slowly fell to the ground. She also hits the ground hard against something solid.

Red blood flowed all around. She did not even have the strength to cry out for help right now. Blurred eyes looked towards the fence of the park. She saw a faint shadow of the person she was looking at, who wasn't too far away. Her eyes were closed, and she was unconscious.

She is going to die...

'The wish you have been requested; I will accept it.'

A hoarse voice came from somewhere. At this moment, she did not have the strength to turn to look at the source of the voice.

Her desire?

The young lady just lay there without moving. In front of her was darkness without light, but suddenly a white light appeared, so bright that it dazzled her eyes.

What happened?

"There are a lot of folks who want to make their desires come true. Even at the cost of what I love the most. But with you, just allow him to be happy.''

The implicit meaning sounded enough for the young woman to guess what it was... her desire.

"I really shouldn't have loved him..." said the young woman in a barely audible voice. The rim of the eye was filled with clear water droplets. Let it flow with a broken heart. It's good like this too. She also didn't want to be there if she had to recognize and endure seeing his face every day after this.

The mysterious man's laughter rang out several times in satisfaction. Few have asked for such a thing. If it's love, they often ask to come back to loving each other as usual. Or you might request that your boyfriend cease his connection with the woman with whom he is now involved. The woman in front of him is interesting.

"Well!"

Round eyes tried to look at the body and face of the owner of the voice. But it's not effective when there is a white light obscuring it.

'Until the ninth month's fifteenth declining moon returns. There was a time to start a relationship that went wrong. If everything changes, you will lead a normal life with this body. But if everything remains the same, you will die and fade from everyone's mind forever.'

The young woman could not understand the meaning of what was heard. The body was suffering more than the brain could think of. She just closed her eyes and didn't feel anything anymore.

"Oh bad, I erased the old memories." A mysterious voice rang out in shock, but it was too late. When sending the young lady's soul back to start over, "Then let's start all over again."

Light illuminates the drapes in the morning. The alarm clock sounded annoyingly loud. The woman under the blanket moved her hands to cover up the sound before continuing to lie down. Soon, there were several knocks on the door in succession. She had to get up from the bed and walk to unlock the door.

"When will you wake up? Sleep till the sun rises," Tharatchanan's stinging eardrum voice said, looking up at her sister, rubbing her hair with an annoyed expression.

"Today is a holiday. Can you let me sleep?" Ladapha responded in a sleepy tone. Both eyes were just partially awake.

"Yeah! Holiday, but you don't think you want to wake up to exercise. Going for a walk other than lying in the room sluggish?!"

The listener exhaled. Before attempting to shut the door, she saw her elder sister had stopped the door and glanced at her with a displeased face.

"Sleep is an important factor. Do you know that? It doesn't get old quickly."

Tharatchanan rolled his eyes as soon as the term 'old' entered his mind.

"Hurry and take a shower and come down," said her elder sister, looking at her before turning around and walking away as Ladapha looked and shrugged indifferently before shutting the room door. She walked back into the room, sighing. Look at the bedside table where the clock is located.

It's not yet noon...

She went to the bathroom, brushed her teeth, and washed her face. Before styling, apply powder on both cheeks. And returned to sitting at the desk as usual. Just as he was about to open the notebook, shouts from downstairs rang out again. Causing her to get up and walk out of the room immediately.

"Why haven't you taken a shower yet?" Tharatchanan's high-pitched voice said with much displeasure when he saw her sister refuse to take a shower and change clothes even though she was told that this weekend they must go out to the mall to buy things.

"I didn't go anywhere. Why are you taking a shower?" Said the young woman as she sat down on the opposite side. She was staring at breakfast in front of her. She had planned to skip breakfast today, hoping the weight she had gained during this period would be reduced. But when she sees her favorite menu in front of her... let her change her mind.

"You don't have to eat if you haven't showered yet," said the sister as she took out the bowl of porridge.

Ladapha looked at her elder sister with great regret but refused to get up and follow suit.

"No," she says, pouting. Put the spoon down on the table and stand up.

"Go take a shower now." Her elder sister's stern voice ordered, the young woman to look at her elder sister with displeasure, "Okay, if you don't go this month. You don't have to eat at home; supplies, sanitary napkins, facial soap, cream..."

"Take a shower! Immediately, Ladapha rushed up the steps. She leaned forward and said, "Pay me, too!" before vanishing abruptly.

Tharatchanan looked up and shook his head, saying nothing, already knowing that he had to pay. Of course, Ladapha would never let the amount of money in her account go down. It's also good to help with the housework and go shopping.

"Let's go eat hot pot!" Ladapha turned to Tharatchanan as she parked the car.

The older sister turned to skew her mouth to look at Ladapha. "Okay, let's go buy some things first," she said with more annoyance. Because Ladapha moved to work in the capital, her mother and brother said, 'Take care of your sister.' She had never entered the city before. But who was the source of such stinginess? If it weren't for her salary being enough to take care of her younger sister, she would not have agreed.

"Yay! The young lady instantly screamed. Since practically all this month's money has been spent on nonsense, "Having an elder like this is quite beneficial."

Ladapha turned around and picked up the bag in the back seat while Tharatchanan opened the door and waited outside. The young woman shut the door and walked around to her sister, clinging to her arms and pleading. "Don't forget hot pot."

Tharatchanan could only sigh and look at the younger sister's face as she walked through the door into the department store. When they walked in, the voices of the people were unceasingly loud, including the shouting of the staff in front of the store. Ladapha is uninterested in the voice of a couple conversing. In contrast to her elder sister, who made an annoyed expression.

"After going shopping, we went to eat hot pot. And then continue with some sweets, shall we?"

"No," Tharatchanan replied in a slightly annoyed tone. It makes it easy for the listener to guess from this fluctuating mood. Of course, it's not something to watch sweet couples walk hand in hand. But her older sister has been past number three for many years and still has no hope of marriage. Her boyfriend never mentioned this matter.

"Even if you don't shout out, 'I want to get married,' your face is obvious."

Tharatchanan turned around and looked at her with anger in his eyes.

"Today, finish shopping and go home!"

Ladapha stood confused for a moment before hurriedly following her sister.

She's just telling the truth. You can act like you're angry!

It took almost three hours to finish buying all the shopping bags. She didn't think her hands would be this full. Ladapha looked at the item in her hand and hurriedly walked it into the dessert shop. Putting things down, she beckoned her older sister to come in as well.

"You treat."

"Heartless," Ladapha said with a disappointed expression. Before turning, order your favorite menu from the staff without having to open the menu to see it.

Even though she understands her sister, this pouting face doesn't know what happened. Even though she is irritable, he's not coming to propose now.

"Who will be like you? The age has not yet been reached. You don't understand the heart of a woman who wants to have a family."

She doesn't know whether to laugh or pity her sister. Because the habit of being irritated about matters that are not an issue makes her not like it, she isn't surprised at all that they haven't gotten married yet.

"Why are you going to care? If you're not married, just stay single. I also intend to stay single forever," Ladapha said with a cheerful expression, unlike Tharatchanan, who made a face of gratitude and disapproval.

"Who would think like you?"

It might be true that she doesn't understand.

Because she never cared about having a lover at all. More than that, it's about having complete freedom without being tied down.

Ladapha forced a smile before lowering her head and picking up her cell phone to play with it.

"Did you know that women, when the time comes, want to have a family?"

Sigh... The young woman sighed and shook her head, glancing at her older sister, who kept saying something.

"Now women can live without having to depend on men. I have money."

"Who would think like you?"

Ladapha looked on and shrugged nonchalantly. As the staff walked in and served the desserts she had ordered,

The young woman focused on the dessert in front of her. But it was too late because Tharatchanan picked up the spoon and scooped it into his mouth first.

"You said you wouldn't eat it," she said, looking up.

"I said I didn't pay. But I didn't say that I wouldn't eat."

"Ash!" The young woman pursed her lips in annoyance. Before taking a spoon and scooping ice topped with strawberries into his mouth.

Enough time had passed until the bowl in front of him was empty. Ladapha turned eyes to follow Tharatchanan's sister outside.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing," Tharatchanan said. After sitting quietly for a long time, she said, "Just looking at a handsome man is a treat for the eyes."

"Who?" She continued to look at him with curiosity.

"That tall man in the black shirt," Tharatchanan pointed out randomly, because her eyes weren't looking as she said. Her eyes rolled back in confusion. And she thought that just now, it confused her; When saw her boyfriend walking hand in hand with another woman.

Ladapha focused her eyes again on the goal her sister had described. A wry smile appeared on his full lips, and he turned to look at his sister before speaking. "You already have a boyfriend."

She stared at her sister, who stared at the man for a long time until he disappeared. So, they moved to get up, picked up the things, and walked out of the store.

After shopping and stopping for dinner, by the time they got home, it was almost 8 p.m. The two young women helped each other carry things from the trunk of the car and put them on the kitchen table.

"Next month, the company has a long holiday; will you go home?" Tharatchanan asked as she put away things.

"Ahh... The long holiday starts today and continues until I can find a new job," the woman replied, taking out the things she bought and putting them in the refrigerator.

"Don't tell me you can't get along with your co-workers."

"No, all my co-workers are good. But travel far. The work is hard, and the money is little," the woman said, letting out a loud sigh. "When you work late, you know that even on holidays, sometimes you still must go in and collect the results of the experiments that you have left over. It's tiring, and I would like to work in a higher position."

"Have you told your mother yet?"

Ladapha immediately shook her head. "I guarantee they will order me home."

Tharatchanan smiled and laughed when he heard the answer. Of course, she knows the personality of her younger sister, who doesn't like going back to work at a resort in her hometown. Because she must deal with unpredictable guests, including her.

"But you can't just sit and sleep like this without finding a job."

Ladapha looked up and smiled with pleading eyes.

"OK, I promise you I'll find a new job quickly."

Sigh... Tharatchanan's sigh sounded again. She squinted at his younger sister, who blinked at her.

"Oh, my savings will run out because of you."

"So cute!" she said sweetly. She walked in and hugged her elder sister tightly. Before loosening her arms and giving a sweet smile. Tharatchanan looked at her sister and shook his head before walking out of the kitchen. Only Ladapha stood there, smiling with happiness and relief. At least I won't be home for a while.

She wants to go completely crazy.

Ladapha cursed inwardly as she leaned back on the back of the chair. After waiting for several days for emails from various companies, as of now, there is still no response. She raised her hand and ruffled her shoulder-length brown hair. One hand reached out and picked up the snack that was on the table and ate it because she was still waiting for the email. But she cannot leave it unemployed for several months. Because her sister might chase you home for sure.

The young woman sighed as she scrolled through posts and updates, including the wistful ramblings of her old classmates. With a reluctant resolve, she pushed herself up from the computer screen. It seemed unlikely that a reply from the companies she had applied to would arrive anytime soon.

Ladapha stepped out of her bedroom and into the kitchen to find a snack. Yet, her sighs echoed at least ten times as she walked back to her seat in front of the computer, resuming her previous spot. Suddenly, the sound of an email notification broke through the silence. Without hesitation, she clicked to open it. As her eyes scanned the content, the once sullen expression on her beautiful face melted into a bright smile.

Ladapha stepped out of her bedroom and into the kitchen to grab a snack, letting out a series of sights at least ten of them-before returning to her computer desk. Just as she settled back in her seat, the notification chime of an incoming email broke the monotony. Without a second thought, she opened it immediately. As her eyes scanned the message, a glowing smile replaced the somber look on her beautiful face.

"Yes! Finally!" she exclaimed in excitement, jumping up and dancing as though she had just won the lottery. Although the email wasn't a job offer yet, the invitation to interview at such a prestigious company was a cause for celebration. It was a major firm with an impressive marketing reach both domestically and internationally, and its employee benefits were exceptional.

Heaven has finally smiled upon me!

Overwhelmed with joy, Ladapha spent several moments basking in her happiness before dashing toward her wardrobe. She eagerly began inspecting outfits suitable for her interview scheduled for next Tuesday. Ten minutes passed and her entire closet had been emptied, yet she still couldn't find the perfect outfit. Frustrated, she sighed and started putting everything back in its place.

"I'll just buy a new one. Maybe it'll bring me good luck for this job," she muttered to herself, grabbing a fresh set of clothes and hurrying into the bathroom.

After finishing her shower, the sound of her phone ringing drew her attention. She picked it up, glanced at the caller ID, and promptly answered the call.

"What's up, sis?" Ladapha answered cheerfully.

"I'll be home late today. Planning to have dinner with Art," her sister replied on the other end.

"Perfect timing! I was about to head out to buy a few things anyway," Ladapha said.

"Alright then, just make sure you lock the door."

"Got it!" she replied in a sing-song tone before hanging up.

Ladapha set her phone aside, quickly applied some makeup, grabbed her bag, and left her room in a rush.
