6 Lunch Break

The two of them walked at corridor and Cris happily chatting about his day to her. She listened to him and answered him whe he asked.

They arrived at the vacant table and bench under the shed of the old mahogany trees. Many students was eating and chatting their but they all halted when they saw the devil approaches the most unexpected part was she was with someone and they were talking and smiling.

Cindy seated properly and putted down her belongings while Cris was so busy preparing their lunch.

A bunch of homemade simple dishes were in the table. A tamarind porridge fish dish, a fried noodle dish, and a boiled river spinach with a sautéed fish paste. She was utterly shocked and he saw her reaction and he felt so dejected.

"Sorry Ms. Cindy if this are the only dishes I can prepare. I will-"

"No, it's fine. This is a good foods. Actually, I love this. We occasionally eat this type of food in our house because my parents don't want us to be ignorant" she explained.

He was now relieved and his energetic self went back. He diligently attended Cindy's needs and honestly it made her flustered and embarrassed. She was so used to being served to and she felt superior by that, well not in their own house because they had given tasked by their mom and no one can escaped that.

This time she felt her heart was doing abnormal things when his taking care of her. By his actions he made her realized that to felt like a princess from a far away land can't be a bad thing.

-Why could be a gigantic guy be so affordable?- she can't helped but asked herself.

She liked all the dishes presented thus it made her ate more that what she usually takes. Cindy was surprised by her appetite she can't stopped herself from munching the whole thing.

Cris was overwhelmed by her. He didn't expected that she will liked all of the food he had made. His efforts was paid tenfold by seeing her loved it and eating so well. It made him gathered more inspiration in pursuing his princess, his muse.

As she finished her stuff she felt an intense staring from her front, as she looked up she found him staring at her blissfully. She was taken back by this sight.

Her embarrassed was showing in her cheeks.

-Will he felt disappointed by seeing me acting like a starve person?- she asked herself.

"I so glad you eat well Ms. Cindy!" Cris happily pointed it out. He was truly delighted.

"I can't help it. It was so delicious" she answered in embarrassed tone.

"I well take and keep that as a compliment. Don't worry this isn't will be the last time that you will taste my delicious cooking" he proudly claimed.

"You cooked this?" she asked with amazement.

"Ye-yeah" he meekly answered.

"You got a talent, unlike me who is always forbidden to come near the kitchen. I'm a disaster in that department" she revealed.

After hearing her complaining about herself he can't help but grinned. "You don't have to cook Ms. Cindy. I can do that for you, all the time" he said with a promising eyes.

Cindy could only gulped down by his sudden attacked. 'Damned this guy! I'm tempted you know' she thought.

Cris looked at his old watch to see the current time. "Crap! I have to go Ms. Cindy, lunch break will be ending soon. I try to catched you later. I'll just message you. Have fun in your next class" he said.

"Don't worry, I will. You too" she replied.

While literally hopping away, he was waving his hands to her and he keeps on doing this until he entered a corner. She just awkwardly smiled to his silly behavior. Though it gaves a good and light emotion in her system.

She just smile of this thoughts.

She was so astonished yet so grateful of this new things she experienced because of him. It was liked she gained something wonderful that she can't pinned point by now.

He didn't blame his father for experiencing this hardships because his father did everything he can to provide for them but unfortunately his owned body betrayed him. The Sawyers who was his father's employer helped them overcome the problem but it can't be enough to let them start up a new beginnings.

They suggested that he can be a part timer at the factory so that he can had a fixed-income. He grabbed this opportunity and do all he can to be best in his job.

He got two younger siblings who were both in high school. And her mother was doing a small snack business for a additional income for the family.

Because he always got home late his mother was waiting for him.

"I'm here!" he greeted her mother.

"Good heavens! Put your bag their and just here and eat your dinner" her mother instructed.

He obediently did what she said. He happily eat his dinner her mom otherwise did got the eco bag and bought it in the sink to inspect. She was fully surprised by the clean state of the containers. It didn't had any leftovers.

"Son, this girl you liked did really ate the food you made?" she wanted to made sure.

"Yes mom. She loved it some much" he proudly answered.

She can't believed it. A lady from a high class family loved a simple dishes? But her son didn't knew how to lie so it might be possible.

While his mother was on the deep thought about something he ate his dinner and started to thought of dishes he might cooked for tomorrow.

' I'm so excited for tomorrow' he gleefully thought.
