The alarm clock rang when the digital clock hit 6am in the morning. It was a cold, chilly, Saturday morning with a bit of rain when she looked out the window of her apartment. Gets out of bed, brushes her teeth, do a couple stretches and she heads down to the kitchen.
Standing at the entrance of the house kitchen, Meg rolls up her sleeve, takes a deep breath and start rummaging the kitchen for all the ingredients she bought a couple of days ago to bake a cheese cake. Meg had been reading up on baking books for the past few weeks for this day. The day she would bake a cake for the guy she secretly had feelings for.
Meg was anxious but all excited about it. She wanted to do something different for him this year compared to the typical birthday gifts. She wanted to make this year's birthday gift a memorable one for Ryan.
It took Meg a good 5 hours to bake the cake. She really put her heart and soul into it. From her heart, her feelings for Ryan flowed into her soft, tender hands and flowed into the cake she baked. It was no ordinary cake though, it was in the shape of Sponge Bob Square Pants! Meg had something for Sponge Bob Square Pants.......... she always felt he was cute and so bubbly.
At the birthday party Meg, presented the cake to Ryan. There was a moment of silences from everyone when they saw the cake. They were attracted to the cake, the fine touches of the cake, the nice curves. No one expected a home baked cake to have been so professionally done.
Ryan was impressed and that was all that mattered to Meg. In the crowd, she could only see Ryan and everyone else were like grey matter to her. Despite impressing Ryan, there was undeniable fact Meg couldn't turn a blind eye to - the fact that Ryan is taken. To make matters worse, Ryan's girlfriend is Meg's house mate and class mate. The truth can be ugly at times I guess.........
Sometimes she wished that she never fell in love with Ryan. It's simply painful knowing that she loves someone she probably can never be with. Every time Meg saw Ryan with her house mate, she felt happy for Ryan yet painful.
As a bystander, there are times when I feel she should let Ryan go. It sometimes seems so painful for her going on with this. But at the same time, I'd want to encourage her to push on as someday I hope Ryan will see how much Meg loves him. Love knows no boundaries and this is a first hand experience for me seeing love being professed through the hands of Meg in the cake she baked............. The birthday cake was no ordinary cake, it was a cake celebrating love, a cake that contained patience, a cake that was made with love, a cake professing sincerity...........
