Mr. Chocolate Direk
MR. Chocolate Direk 1 Mr. Chocolate Ding ding! The bell rang from the post man’s bicycle at a garden café filled with the scent of blooming flowers and bakery goods as he came to deliver a white envelope. Suddenly, a young girl named Marie who was arranging cakes in front of the baking cabinet rushed out to receive the white envelope she had been waiting for so many days. In front of the cake display case, she bravely decided to open the envelop when she read the medical examination result from the doctor. She went into shock and fell to the ground. While Ginny was sifting cake batter in the kitchen, she heard the sound of someone falling to the floor “Bang” coming from inside the café. She hurriedly ran out in shock. “Marie Marie, What’s wrong with you?” Ginny said. “Marie, concious of her friend Ginny’s voice, stood up sadly and told her the bad news. Ginny, I have dementia. “Sob sob…… TT” My memory would slowly fade away and after that I would be a person who couldn’t remember anything at all. What should I do?” Marie said. “Take it easy, I believe every problem must have a solution.” Ginny said.
MR. Chocolate Direk 2 After that day Marie who dedicated her life to the café she opened with Ginny. From morning until evening she was in front of the oven all day, leaving no time for herself, friends and family. From this bad news, she decided to herself that her life comes only once. A person’s life in uncertain. No one knows the date of their own death. So she thought to herself, She will leave everything behind and find happiness in seeing the outside world, absorbing new experiences and things before she forgets everything about this world. “Ring ring ring ring” In the early morning, she was woken up by the sound of the alarm clock continuously ringing. So she got up from her bed and walked drowsily to open the cafe and worked on recipes in the kitchen all day so that Ginny could continue running the cafe. If she isn't there, the cafe will have cakes, desserts, and drinks to serve customers. At the time, she was creating a recipe for a cake, which was a combination of sweet chocolate, dark pink roses with thick fragrant petals, and cherries from Switzerland. Meanwhile, Marie creates dessert recipes throughout the day. She also had to write down her actions in a small notebook to see what she had done today.
MR. Chocolate Direk 3 Until she had to choose the unique flavor of chocolate from each brand. So she picked up several brands of chocolate to taste them, but then she was stunned by the taste of Kearney's chocolate. Her cafe is a regular customer of Kearney Chocolate. When she orders chocolate from this company, she has to order in large quantities because Kearney Chocolate is considered an important component of her cafe's desserts, cakes, and drinks. The taste of this chocolate is so perfect that it helps her cafe sell well. When she ordered chocolates, she had to wait several months because Kearney Chocolates are made to order in limited quantities. The production time for each production is uncertain. Sometimes production takes 3 months and another 9 months is stopped in order to go out and find important raw materials in different countries. This is probably the reason I ordered so many Kearney Chocolates. Kearney chocolate has a soft texture and is a sweet treat with a delicate flavor and distinctive aroma, and is blended with cod liver oil extract, ground pistachio powder. At that moment, she tasted this perfect taste, causing her to create more and more new recipes for desserts, and what surprised her was that she could recall the events of a moment ago.
MR. Chocolate Direk 4 “Hm Hmmmm!!! The flavor I've been looking for a long time. It has both sweetness and bitterness. The taste is very good.” Marie said. “Ehhh! Why does this chocolate make me create new dessert recipes? Can I try again to make sure this is true?” Marie said. “Ginny Ginny, come help me look. I have found chocolate that has such a wonderful taste. I've tasted it many times and all I get is my memories coming back.” Marie said. “I've figured it out. Her memory loss might have a chance to return to normal.” Ginny said. “Now the problem is that Kearney chocolate is almost out of stock, so I will have to find the owner of the manufacturing company to buy some. Ginny, can you help me find out where the owner of the manufacturing company is now?” Marie said.
MR. Chocolate Direk 5 Meanwhile, Ginny went to the area to investigate, looking for information about the person on social media, but she couldn't find any clues. Until she met a strange uncle who was a delivery driver for this company. So she went to ask Uncle. “Uncle, I have an urgent matter that I need to help a friend with, so please answer me truthfully.” Ginny said. “Of course I will help you, but if I don't tell you too much about my company's secrets, my boss Mr. Keetan will be scolded.” Uncle said. “Uncle, the latest chocolate flavor with crushed pistachios is really delicious. Ehhhhhhh! where did the chocolate ingredients come from? I forget.” Ginny said. “Errrr!! Last time, I wasn't sure of the country. You could try looking it up, but I received some very delicious souvenirs from him: Gaz sweets and barberry fruit.” Uncle said. “I know the previous ingredient came from Iran, right? So where would he go to find the ingredients this time?” Ginny said.
MR. Chocolate Direk 6 Uncle looked as if my answer was correct, but he didn't dare tell me where Mr. Keetan was. No matter what she said, Uncle wouldn't tell her the secret. Until finally, she tried to tell the story of Marie, whose memory was gradually fading, until the uncle told the truth: “I can tell you because I feel sorry for your friend, but you have to keep it a secret and only the two of you know. I can tell you because I feel sorry for your friend, but you have to keep it a secret and only the two of you know. Mr. Keetan is in Switzerland but I don't know what the ingredients are. I will know when the chocolate is finished” Uncle said. When Ginny had all the information she hurried to tell Marie. Marie, who has been waiting all this time for information, once she found out. So she decides to go to Switzerland to find Mr. Keetan and the mysterious ingredient. “Then you take care of the cafe for me, Ginny. But while I'm there, I'll take some Kearney chocolates with me.” Marie said. “Don't worry, while you're away I'll make another dessert recipe instead. You can trust me.” Ginny said.
MR. Chocolate Direk 7 Marie then headed for Switzerland and upon reaching Switzerland. She is fascinated by nature and does activities in this country that she has never done before. However, while she is doing activities and searching for important ingredients in this country, She also doesn't forget to keep a record of her behavior during the day. She even takes photos and video clips of herself to record her memories. She heads to the must-see highlight of this trip, the Lindt Home of Chocolate by famous Swiss architects Christ & Gantenbein. She was dazzled by the huge hall that contained the world's tallest floating chocolate fountain. She toured the chocolate museum. Then she was very surprised by the history of chocolate from one bean to one chocolate bar. What's more, she can taste unlimited chocolate!! So she secretly took some chocolate from the museum and put it in her bag. After a long day of tiring, she went to find a restaurant to eat and rest for a bit, but she had a feeling that while she ate the chocolate in the museum, she became forgetful several times. Until she accidentally asked about the history of this place with the museum administrator many times. She realized this because she read her own behavior which she wrote down in the notebook she asked the museum attendant about
MR. Chocolate Direk 8 3 times. When she realized that she had asked so many times while in the museum. So she took Kearney's chocolate and ate it to make her conscious and aware. “Papet Vaudois and Cheese Fondue are now served. Enjoy your meal, Madame.” The waiter said. As she was eating with gusto, her ears heard a low, gentle, and resonant sound. The two men at the table behind her were talking about chocolate and pistachios and she felt certain that this was Mr. Keetan. “Mr. Keetan, tomorrow in the afternoon you have an appointment with Mr. Gregson to visit and check the quality of the fruit in the orchard.” Quinn said. Her excitement combined with the emotion that she wanted to get to know that person so much caused her to show off her behavior until he realized it. she spilled the cheese she had dipped in fondue on his suit. he turned his eyes to look at her with sharp and hard eyes. Marie suddenly said, “Sorry, I didn't mean to mess up your suit. So, can I have your contact information? I'll buy you a new suit. Along with giving him a business card from her cafe.” Marie said. So he pretended to answer her,
MR. Chocolate Direk 9 “It's okay, this incident was not your intention. But I have a lot of suits and I wouldn't mind burdening you.” Keetan said. After finishing his words, he got up and left with his secretary holding her business card in his hand. Marie hearing this was very angry at his arrogance and wanted to take all the ingredients he wanted as her own. Amidst the green valley Keetan went into Mr. Gregson's garden to inspect the cherries for a more effective ingredient in Kearney's chocolate. As he was inspecting the cherries, his eyes caught Marie tasting the cherries on the tree and eating his chocolate. This made him wonder if Marie was secretly following him or not. “Are you secretly following me?” Keetan said. “I haven't followed you at all. I'm going to find the ingredients to make it myself when you won't help me.” Marie said. Marie ignored him and went to talk to Mr. Gregson. Keetan sees this and orders Quinn to keep an eye on her to see if she poses a threat to him. Quinn then went to talk to Marie about what was wrong with her and why she was interested in Kearney chocolate. Quinn then went to talk to Marie about what was wrong
MR. Chocolate Direk 10 with her and why she was interested in Kearney chocolate. So he got to know her personality and most importantly, he sympathized with Marie very much, so he told Keetan that. “Boss, Boss, you have to help Marie. I feel so sorry for her. She has dementia and I believe that Chocolate Boss can help her.” Quinn said. Deep in his heart, Keetan felt sympathy for her and wanted to help, but was stubborn and didn't dare to speak, so he went to talk to Mr. Gregson about the ingredients and formula to get her attention and came to ask him first. When Marie saw Keatan, she ignored him. But when she heard him talk about ingredients and formulas, She secretly had a little hope and walked over to ask him for help. “Mr. Keetan, can you help me? Look, your chocolate helped me a lot and it's about to run out.” Marie said. “Do you think I'm going to help you easily? There has to be an exchange.” Keetan said. “To be honest, I had never heard of my chocolate having such a flavor that everyone who tasted it was surprised and had no idea that its properties would be so useful. Then now that I have plans to make a new
MR. Chocolate Direk 11 chocolate recipe, you must be my test agent.” Keetan said. “Huhhhhhh! what do you say? I have to be the representative to test your new formula. If something happens to me, who will be responsible?” Marie said. “Well, it's up to you. I can't force you. If you want to get better, do it. If you don't want to get better, you don't have to do it.” Keetan said. Marie looked at the remaining chocolate in her bag and called Ginny to ask at the café. She's almost out of chocolate. So she reluctantly agreed to his offer in exchange for more chocolate. “Then I agree to your terms, but we have to make a pact that if anything happens to me, you will find me that chocolate recipe.” Marie said. “Quinn went and drafted an agreement for her and me to sign. And while I'm away, you produce the new formula and give it to her to taste and take care of her to see how she's doing each day. And you must always report to me about her.” Keetan said. “Understood, Boss.” Quinn said. “While I'm gone, I'll let Quinn take care of you and don't mess with my formula.” Keetan said.
MR. Chocolate Direk 12 “I know who would want to mess with your recipe.” Marie said. While Keetan goes out to buy more ingredients, Quinn reports Marie's condition to Keetan, saying that if she eats the original chocolate recipe, Her condition will improve. But one day, the original chocolate recipe ran out and the new recipe was ready. Quin gave Marie a try and he noticed that Marie's condition was getting worse. Marie initially had hope that she would recover, but as her symptoms worsened she became stressed and she returned to her old behavior of keeping a record of what she did each day. But then she scolded Keetan to Quinn. “Why is your boss' new formula making me like this? Is he teasing me? You go find him and come back to help me.” Marie said.
MR. Chocolate Direk 13 Quinn was stressed about the formula he had been given to make and whether there was a mistake or not, so he quickly called Boss to report the formula and tell Boss about Marie's condition that Marie's condition was getting worse every day. At the airport, in the middle of the passenger building. There was a tall, slender man with white skin that was very pale. His sharp eyes concealed mystery and charm, and his lips were thin and touching. He carried several pieces of luggage with him in a hurry to return to Mr. Gregson's garden. “Quinn, you hurry and drive. Who is she with now? How are her symptoms?” Keetan said. “Now her condition is much worse. She could only remember the faces of those closest to her. But while the boss was away, I kept trying to adjust the formula. While improving the formula, I kept giving her a taste test, but her condition got progressively worse.” Quinn said. “I brought the ingredients of the original formula from Iran, so let's try developing the formula one more time to see if her symptoms will improve.” Keetan said. At Uncle Gregson's cherry orchard with a small chocolate factory inside. When Keetan saw Marie he
MR. Chocolate Direk 14 felt a great deal of pity because he found that she no longer recognized him. In the meantime, he tried to help her to revive her memories again, but no matter what, she couldn't remember him, so he tried to come up with a new formula with Quinn and Mr. Gregson every day. This recipe takes some ingredients from the original recipe and mixes them with a new recipe. When he finished this formula, she began to remember, but it was only a short-term memory, and Keetan was happy because she began to remember him. Keetan felt pressure every day to develop the formula because he felt he had a duty to help her permanently recover from her dementia. He developed the formula with Quinn and Mr. Gregson, but the results was not as good as expected even though he had used the best ingredients from Mr. Gregson's garden. Marie thinks that if she wants to be permanently cured of her amnesia, she must help Keetan figure out the formula. If she and he could come up with a formula that would benefit everyone suffering from the disease. “Keetan, let's work together to make the world's most amazing chocolate that no one has ever invented.” Marie said.
MR. Chocolate Direk 15 “I also want to think of the most amazing magic in the world to permanently cure her of her memory loss. Let's work together.” Keetan said. Together, he and she developed the world's most incredible chocolate recipe. That could help people with dementia like Marie, and they decided to come up with a different formula. Keetan developed an original formula. And Marie developed a new recipe using ingredients from Mr. Gregson's garden. They thought and prayed every day that their formula would be successful as they hoped, but the formula they and she had thought of could not help Marie. Until one day, they got an idea that they needed to combine the original chocolate recipe and a new one. The strange events of her dementia and the challenges they face every day while creating the chocolate recipe. It makes them understand and get to know each other even more. Is this called the bond of love created by the taste of chocolate? Throughout the development of the formula, Keetan spent time close to Marie. Day by day, he got to know Marie more and more, from not wanting to help that day to becoming more and more pity, until he felt pity and connection to the point that he began to fall in love with her a little more each day. When Marie got close to Keetan every
MR. Chocolate Direk 16 day, she felt at ease every time he was beside her. He lets her be herself and feel confident in his presence. “Keetan, I figured out that we need to mix ingredients from both recipes between the original recipe and the new recipe.” Marie said. “Why did I overlook this? You're really talented. So let's try producing one more time.” Keetan said. When they combined the formula and produced it again, the results showed that when Marie was tested, Marie was permanently cured of her dementia. She was so happy that she could not put into words how she wanted to thank him. After all, everyone knows that Marie is permanently cured of dementia. Everyone congratulated her. Marie and Keetan decide to produce unlimited quantities of their magical Kearney chocolate recipe together.
MR. Chocolate Direk 17 The two brought the amazing chocolate back to Marie's cafe in England. Quinn and Mr. Gregson brought fresh produce from the garden for Marie to use in the cafe. When Ginny saw Marie after months of not seeing each other, they hugged and Ginny thanked Keetan profusely for taking care of her friend. During Marie's time at the café she used her amazing chocolate and fresh fruit from Mr. Gregson's garden to make sweets, cakes and drinks for everyone and her customers to enjoy. Marie always told Keetan: “She had no doubt that it was love at first sight, just like how she fell in love with his chocolate the first time she tried it.” From closeness and compassion, beautiful love is born. Their relationship is like the taste of chocolate, both sweet and bitter as they face obstacles that prove their love. They intend to help people who suffer from dementia recover and are committed to helping their loved ones. This pity blossomed into love Keetan and Marie decided to spend the rest of their lives together. And will spend every day developing their love to blossom like the chocolate recipe they helped develop until it became the sweetest love. - The End -
