I stared at her. I talk to long from that long explanation and still she doesn’t get it. “Let’s have a break first.” I said. “You’re just hungry, snacks time was the last meal we ate.” I said. I’m annoyed but I have to prolong my patience, this is just hunger. I looked at the wallclock. “It’s already 8 o’clock.” I commented. “I’ll just cook our food for dinner, you study that.” I said then left and didn’t turn to look at her. Number eight. 8 o’clock. I shook my head. “She should have said that she’s hungry.” I whispered onto myself.

“Are you not done?” she asks.

“Come here.” I commanded. I won’t go there to serve her, she have to come here and the food won’t come to her.

“You made me come here but the food isn’t ready.” She unkindly commented.

“It’s about to. How about helping me? Go and get some rice for the both of us, you’ll never know after you put the plates on the table this is done.”

“What do you cook?” she asks.

I looked at my phone where I search the recipe. “It says here Tinola.” I replied.

“Really?” she said excitedly. I just nod then look at what I’m doing. What’s the taste of Tinola? It looks delicious even though I haven’t had a taste of it. I let her taste it first so I will know if it’s delicious and if not, I’ll put it on the trash. Her nose had wrinkles after she taste it then frown, I immediately stood up so I can put it in the trash.
