Chapter 4 Cooking

Chapter 4

"No I ain't got cash. I ain't got cash, but I got you baby. Baby I.. don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight. I love cheap thrills!"

I joined the music while simply dancing while cooking in the kitchen. This is my first record that I woke up at three o'clock.

No one is awake at this time so I am free to make noise and do what I want in the kitchen.

I laughed out loud when I remembered Gov Damuho. It's early, right? I seem to be ahead of him.

With that in mind, I love it more and am able to cook delicious food for children today. Within a day I found out the twins' favorite foods.

I noticed that they don't even eat what I cook. At first I thought it was just because they didn't like me. But just yesterday I found out from Manang Yera that they have some choices that they want to eat.

They don't like the food because my two brothers always like to eat what I cook these past few days. It's because those two aren't good at eating, or maybe because they're just used to what's served, that's all.

Whereas people who are not used to hardship, they still have a choice of what to eat. There is also breakfast, lunch and dinner. While for us, morning is afternoon and evening as well.

So I decided to myself that 'when I graduate from college with the HM course, I will teach them any food. I like to cook a lot for them because the three of us agree on that.

We love food.

With that in mind, I miss both of them even more. I miss them already. How are they now? I honestly don't know either. I haven't had contact with the two yet because if I did, I would miss them even more.

As soon as I'm done with this job, I'll get back to them.

I know the time will come when I will be able to leave here too, ready to leave and forget everything that happened as if it was nothing.

And I can't wait for that to happen.

Coming soon, Vion. So for now, bear with me.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh merciful hell!"

I became Manang Yera for a few seconds, but still mixed with Vion.

I clutched my chest in shock, I almost dropped the spoon. I turned quickly and the rapid beating of my chest slowed down for a moment when I saw the tall man at the kitchen door.

I fell silent and stopped my own way of looking at her bare top. I looked away and turned away from him again to face what I was cooking.

The important thing is that my cooking is also delicious.

I shook my head. What am I thinking?. I should be angry.

"Isn't it obvious?" I block. "I thought you were still asleep. I hope you didn't wake up.." I whispered the last one.

It may be difficult what you should do. Why is he here? If he had even thought to get dressed first, he wouldn't have dragged his body all over the mansion.

"I smell something awful." It's a simple answer.

"Excuse me?" I faced him, not caring even if I could see his body. "Can I cook what you're talking about, Gov?"

I glared at him. Did I say that I should have ignored him, there is no time when we don't fight.

He just raised an eyebrow at me and just walked closer to the refrigerator, just a few feet away without looking at me. I couldn't stop looking at his upper body.

I quickly looked away and peeked again. And teh, slowly. What does this man do every day? He probably carried the whole nation.

I watched him pour water into the glass from the pitcher and followed his every move as he drank. Until the eyes almost met, luckily I looked away faster than a flash.

Stop it, Vion!

I turned my eyes back to the cook and just thought about what he was smelling. Even though I'm sure it's not from me. He only really knows so much.

But I was suddenly nervous when I saw him from the corner of my eye approaching me. Where did he go? He should be there in the direction of the door go straight!

I was about to scream but he just passed me and went to the side of the oven and turned it off. And only then did what he said earlier make sense. Suddenly I smelled something burning.

I bit my lip to keep the pride I still had at this time.

"What an effort." He said and looked at my cooking. "Well, at least you tried."

And left me alone in the kitchen being insulted.

That's the only thing I did wrong..

My fist is clenched. That's right, your little mistake gets noticed more than what you did right.

And do I care if he thinks so.

I'm not doing this just to get attention. I don't need validation from him. That's right. Who is he? He thought it would affect me. Ha! He just thought that.

I frantically removed the burnt bread from the oven cursing.

Yes, I was not really affected.

He just really tried to eat what I cooked.

He can't even touch the tip of a spoon!

"You're really smart, governor. You have a day with me too." I whispered annoyed.

"Wow. This is my fave! You cheat on us, Vion. How do you know this?" Maria complained gruffly as her small arms folded.

"Just don't eat, Sister Maria." His twin said as he chewed my food in his mouth.

I grinned and helped Marcus to his plate. He ate so much that I was happy. This is what a man does not appreciate. Take a look. Marcus looked up and glared at me.

"Don't take this as an advantage. This is just today." And he ate again.

"Hey! Brotha Marc! Are you betraying me? Fine, I'll eat too. You thought you were the only one who ate, me too!"

"Alright, just eat. This is it, oh. Don't stop until you throw up." I was grinning like a fool while watching them.

I will give them now. The only scramble for what I cook is the only criticism I accept from them.

"Oh. There's a miracle happening here."

"Correction, our Lulu. This is just for today."

"You just said it, kids."

Manang Yera looked at me and smiled.

"Let's eat, Mang."

"Thank you Ija, I'll eat later."

"Daddy! Eat with us. Vion had something she cooked for you! She doesn't let us touch it until now."

"Yeah. She's annoying.." Marcus said.

It's up to the kids to decide. I didn't cook for their hard-faced Daddy. Before his ass could even land on the chair, I took the food in front of him and moved it in front of me.

I didn't put it there so he could eat something. I put that to be jealous. I spilled the food as I looked at him angrily.

I will show him what I do as a caring Mommy and him as a busy Daddy. He should not eat, he should only work.

Even though I was distracted by his appearance in his uniform. And I won't admit that it suits him and makes him even more beautiful. Neva!

"You're bad, Vion. Why are you doing that? Daddy here.. You can eat mine."

He just looked at the watch and reached for the water to drink. "Thank you, sweetheart. I can settle with these. I'll be late, just enjoy your breakfast. I'm going.."

He kissed the children on the head and was afraid to leave.

I looked skeptically at his behavior and didn't realize that I had stopped eating. I suddenly..

No you're not going there, Vion..

"For a moment.." My pride was destroyed when I stopped him from leaving. "I'm just kidding. Eat first.."

He ignored me, no reaction to look at me.

"No need. It's fine."

And he left.

He has no shame! He said it's fine but he looks like a eater with the size of the pimple on his face. What right does he have to make me feel guilty!

Disgusted, I stood at the dining table and lost my mood suddenly.

While walking in the living room, I saw him arrogantly coming down the stairs. Why is it that no matter what he does, he doesn't get ugly?

I held the object behind me tightly and didn't look at him because I was still annoyed with him.

When he finally got down, he looked in my direction for a moment. It must be weird for me because I'm here. Well of course I have legs, I can go anywhere I want.

"Sir Lucifer. The car is ready outside." Getting Khairro's attention on the man. He also turned to me when he noticed me with wide eyes "Vion, you're there. Manang told me that you cooked earlier. Do you have anything else?"

I only recently became close with Khairro because we are not far apart in age and he is not difficult to get along with.

"Sorry, it's over, eh. Maybe next time. Can you leave Gov and me for now? We'll just talk."

Although surprised, the latter still followed. I approached a man after he left.

"You're really not going to eat?" I asked rudely.

"I don't repeat anything I've already said."
