...2pm: lunch break
liz: " finally food....here I come...let me try something new in the cafeteria...come on Tara let's go"...
( mind voice: whenever I am tensed, confused or upset...I end up eating junk food...what can I do?...old habits die hard)
tara:" manager han, join us!..."
Liz: " what the hell are you doing,Tara.?"
Han: " ah it's nice to see you here..."
Tara whispers: "Fixing things for you Liz....I think it's time for you to accept what's waiting for you"
Liz: " don't do anything stupid....!!!"
...
Han: " I suppose if you are ok to have me Liz....."
Liz: " huh, what..."
Han( embarrassed) :" I mean to have lunch together...all 3 of us.."
Liz: " oh yes, sure...
why not?( looking towards Tara)"
...
Han( mind voice): " she hasn't changed...she still eats fish and chips...as usual...but forgot garlic bread..."
" I wonder if I should ever tell her the truth about me.....but would she trust me? ...
Definitely not after what happened that day...15 years ago...."
Tara( mind voice): " awe, Manager Han is looking at Liz....but she is looking only at her food....i wonder how big is her appetite....I need to engage them in a conversation..and break this eternal silence..."
Tara:" Mr. Han, both you and Liz have similar tastes....I mean since you both brought continental food...."
Liz looks up
Liz( mind voice): steak?? and chips....that looks yummy and with garlic bread....I guess we do have similar taste...
Han:" yes indeed. miss Liz, would you like some garlic bread?"
Tara: " of course she will...."
Tara takes and puts on Liz's plate....
Liz:" Tara, manager Han simply asked it out of courtesy....what are you doing?..."
Han: "no , miss Liz . I meant it....please do try some. fish and chips with garlic bread is an amazing combination"
Liz: what did you say just now? How did you know ....that ? ...
Han:" about what? the garlic bread? that's just something I had in my childhood days....anything wrong?"
Liz:" no nothing. i am sorry Mr.Han...I thought I have heard this somewhere before...!
Han( mind voice) : did she remember?
