In this kingdom one fine day, Sir Aeron asked Sir Benito, “Do you think she likes me?”
“Who?” His trusted comrade could not believe his ears.
“Why, Lady Charm from the main land!”
Lady Charm from the main land was a bubbly maiden whose smile enraptures people, but Sir Benito knew that rejection lay ahead. He said no more in hopes that the short-lived flame will extinguished with time.
O! Lady Charm’s birthday was around the corner, and Sir Aeron was determined to ask her the simple question that could change both of their lives!
Seeking some of the lady’s friends, he confided in them.
“Lady Mariam,” he asked, “I will give a gift to Lady Charm, and ask her a question which burdens my heart so. Do you think she likes me?”
“No,” Lady Mariam answered. “She is one of religious devotion. I see she cares for you no more than a friend.”
“Lady Wendy,” he asked, “I will give a gift to Lady Charm, and ask her a question which burdens my heart so. Do you think she likes me?”
“No,” Lady Wendy answered. “She has yet to open her heart to courtship. I see she cares for you no more than a friend.”
“Lady Ray,” he asked, “I will give a gift to Lady Charm, and ask her a question which burdens my heart so. Do you think she likes me?”
“No,” Lady Ray answered. “She is still young a maiden. I see she cares for you no more than a friend.”
While slightly disheartened, Sir Aeron decided to push aside the discouragements, for O! Lady Charm’s birthday was around the corner, and he was determined to ask her the simple question that could change both of their lives!
Sir Benito, Lady Mariam, Lady Wendy, and Lady Ray were afraid of the great gloom that was bound to come. They decided that a warning must be given, and that Lady Ray, who lived just next door of Lady Charm, would be able to do so.
“Lady Charm,” said Lady Ray, “If someone should confess to you, what would you do?”
“I’ll tell him I’m sorry, and say no. I’m not ready.”
“Pray think about such a situation, IF something like that happens...”
Discussing the issue without mentioning what is to come, they took it as a warning given.
The day came. Sir Aeron arrived at Lady Charm’s doorstep with a gift in his hands. All eyes turned towards them, as he wished her, “Happy Birthday.”
“I want to ask you a question which burdens my heart so. Do you like me?”
Silence.
Finding her voice, Lady Charm answered, “As a friend, yes…”
“Nothing more?”
“As a brother, yes…” Her voice seemed to shake as she spoke.
“Nothing more?”
“What do you mean by more?” Her heart must have dropped.
He turned away. “Please open the gift.” Said he.
“I hope I didn’t give you the wrong idea…”
“Please.”
Opening the gift, she stared into its contents. Speechlessness.
The four friends of the duo stared into its contents. Speechlessness.
“So, do you like MEE?”
In the box was a packet of MEE.
This is what happened
They laughed over the issue (but he did get choked by each of them). And in the Kingdom of Angsana the fellow friends lived happily ever after. For now.
THE END
