One Cold Night
10: Compliment
Vera Alette's POV
It was four in the morning and here I was... watching a tutorial on how to cook chicken curry, I was planning to cook something for Victor, pambawi ko doon sa time na hindi siya nakapaglunch because he chose to stay by my side and comfort me.
I already asked him earlier about what he wanted to eat or something that he's been craving... and he said curry daw. Syempre gusto ko talaga siyang bawian kaya hindi ako tumanggi kahit alam ko sa sarili ko na mahihirapan ako sa pagluluto dahil hindi ko pa naman nasusubukan! I have cooked some dish, like adobo, sinigang, and some sort of dish... except for chicken curry!
I got up from bed after half an hour of watching over and over again, I grabbed my hair tie, walked towards the light switch, and turned it on. The skies are still sleeping but I have no plans to dream with them.
I tied my hair into a simple bun. I looked at myself in the mirror and hyped myself up, because... I need it!
Do your best and give your all... you don't want to disappoint Victor, that's a big no-no! so... follow the damn instructions, are we clear Vera?!
I breathed deeply before going to the kitchen, I bought the ingredients yesterday before I went home, sinamahan pa ako ni Victor para bumili.
I prepared and cleaned the ingredients first and proceeded with the usual preparations. I was so careful about cutting the chicken, potatoes, carrots, and other ingredients, I didn't want to get another scratch from a knife while cooking.
I was humming as I was doing my thing, and by the time I was done with the cleaning and cutting, I stared at my workplace and let out a sigh of relief, feeling proud... The cuts look good...
I guess... I did a pretty good job. But! we're not done yet, dahil sasabak pa lamang ako sa tunay na laban, ang pagluluto ng mismo curry! I hope that I'll do things right.
I washed my hands and wiped them on my shorts before grabbing my laptop. I want to use a bigger screen to read the instructions.
I was very careful about positioning my laptop on the countertop, afraid that it might fall, inilayo ko rin iyon sa sink para hindi iyon mabasa. Of course, I would die if that happens!
Once I was convinced that my laptop wouldn't fall, I started grabbing a small pot and a ladle that I could use.
"Put some... oil..." I said as I did what I said.
