What I think about life.

Run

She was still in her sportswear when she wakes up from her morning nap. That was a really good run. Cat, volunteer as the company representative, sign up for a marathon to support a good cause. She never really interested in marathon because it takes too much preparation. This time it is different because she wants to give out to the community and she doesn't mind the experience at all.

Unlike before, where she only run on the weekends, she has to do her best to do it everyday which makes it much more harder. She notices that she eat a lot more than usual. Just yesterday she ate an entire pizza and a small tub chocolate Häagen-Dazs ice cream herself. Her baby Hope is sitting next to her and obviously waiting for her to wake up. Cat smile and kiss her. Her beautiful calico fur feels nice against her skin. Just when Cat fall back to sleep again with Hope in her arms, she receive a text from Azhar.

Ever since their first date, they had a few more after that. They also run together now - another excuse to meet with each other. It started when Cat mentioned that she is participating for a marathon on one of their dates. He is ecstatic when he found out that she loves sport as much as he is. They talked for hours on sports that day. She never knew that talking about sport can be interesting before. She only enjoys sports but she never seems interested talking about them with others before.

She open the text message revealing a photo of them this morning together; he was wearing a white shirt, a black pair of shorts with a pair of blue running shoes and she was wearing a pastel blue tracksuit with a pair of white running shoes.  The photo comes with a message. A message that Cat will never be tired of - 'I had a great time with you. I can't wait to see you soon. Love, A.' Though they never confessed their true feelings to each other but it is obvious to everyone that they are smitten with each other. She reply the text with a heart emoticon and head to shower leaving Hope alone with her phone.

After the long cold shower, she head downstairs to make some lunch. She deliberately wear the comfiest outfit. She wear her oversized white care bear t-shirt with a pair of black leggings. Her hair is put in a bun. She enter the kitchen; the beautiful mid-century style kitchen with blue ornate tiles on the wall and a wooden floor is decorated with trinkets they got from traveling and the antique stores. The kitchen is facing a forest area making the place looks like a dream. She still live with her parents who inherited the house and she loves it here. It reminds her of her grandparents.

Cat take some of the ingredients from their fridge and build-in pantry. She cut, slice and prepare some of the ingredients before cooking. She likes to prep all her ingredients beforehand and she likes her system. She see cooking as a therapeutic thing rather than a chore. That is why she loves to take her time rather than doing it in a chaotic manner. She want to try some new recipes today. She want to cook a full middle eastern meal for her family. With a satisfied look seeing all the ingredients ready on the table, she put her pink le crueset pot on a stove and start cooking.
