Chapter Three

"To best was to capture a man's heart is through is stomach." - Julie (from my friend, my girl)

She feel bad. That's for sure.

So, instead of not doing anything she cooks for something. She may be not the best cooker, but she can still manage to cook a fried rice and fried egg. Barely.

"Hello, my friend! What's this sizzling I'm hearing about?"

Oh, I forgot. Elise is coming for the container.

"Wait, what are you cooking?" Elise asks. She then looked at the fried rice and egg.

"Why are you cooking, Resse?" She asks her friend who's busy cooking.

"My way of saying 'sorry' to someone." She answered while focusing to put the fried egg on top of the fried rice she make on the container.

"What do you think?" Thresse ask. Elise looked over her shoulders and ask.

"Did you taste this things?" Elise ask her friend.

Thresse was dumbfounded.

"I didn't." She says.

Elise shook her head.

"I'm pretty sure that person who eat this will forgive you immediately. Bless his taste buds and soul." Elise prays and Thresse just rolled her eyes. And immediately go outside leaving Elise inside.

She breathe out and ready herself. She then doorbell and waited.

The same that happened last night, the same guy also opens the door. It was Kristian.

"Hello." He greeted with a cold manner.

She gulped but she never back down.

"Hi, its me. The girl last night, my name is Thresse. And about last night, I'm here to give you this to say sorry for offending you, somehow? And also to get the container in return." Thresse said.

She handed the container and a middle age lady came in and brought the container.

"Here it is, iha. It was good, and thank you." She said.

"Ah, you're welcome. Goodbye." Thresse said and head out.

"What a sweet young lady. Let's go inside, Kristian." Manang Josi said when Thresse walk towards her house.

They are on the dining table, and Manang Josi was just putting the contents out of the container that Thresse brought for saying sorry.

She then put the plate with fried rice and fried egg into Kristian's table.

"Eat that, Kristian. Its bad to make the blessing wait." Manang Josi said.

Kristian sigh as he started eating the fried rice along with the fried egg with Manang Josi's help. But, it was salty.

He choked his food immediately, and drink some water.

Manang Josi was laughing. When he finally calm down, he was already swearing on his mind.

"Why did that thing tastes salty?!" He bursted.

Manang Josi who tasted the food was already laughing but she manage to answer.

"For you to forgive her easily. That Trese girl is brilliant! You must be careful, she might cook you another version of sunny side up egg." Then she burst out laughing.

She left Kristian was already swearing.

"I can't believe that girl! Sh!t."

But Cindy's cooking was a bit of like hers. She cannot cook well, even a fried egg.

He smiles as reminisce his ex-girlfriend.

Wait...

That's right. She was his, but in the end she was just his ex.

Why did he ever remember her anyway?

That girl...

Cindy cannot cook egg, this Thresse can. But salty, at least she's better. And she's going to be better.

A smile never faded in his lips, thinking a faceless woman in a white blouse in a sunflower skirt.
