Ch25: The next goal

he noise that came from the floor below woke me up, I looked around and found that I was in an empty room, next to me I could see the futon where Tamamo had slept was now empty as well, but later the noise that had been below he told me where she was.

"No, wait, don't add water the hot oil!"

"It caught fire help !!"
"Help!"

"Put the lid on the pot that will put out the fire!"

It was my mother and Tamamo, it seemed that they were trying to cook something, the place was lively without a doubt. It seemed like I had traveled back in time, when I was younger and I was preparing to go to school. My mother preparing breakfast, while my father got ready to go to work, and my younger brother trying to watch his favorite TV show. Memories of when my life was simpler. But even if I didn't want to get up and stay here doing nothing, I had to, because I'm starving.So I went down the stairs and went to the dining room.

"Good morning!" I said

From the kitchen door I could see Tama's head poking out.

"Darling!"
"I'm almost done making breakfast"
"Give me a moment and I'll be ready to serve"

"Wait Tamamo making the fire bigger won't make it ready sooner!"
"You have to wait!" I could hear my mom talking also in the kitchen.

"You don't have any problem right?"
"Do you know how a modern kitchen works?" I ask.

"Calm" My mother replied.
"I am teaching her to do it"
"It is necessary for someone to cook in a couple"
"And Tama asked me early if I could teach her"
"She was so moved by her resolve that she may have taken me to the light that she knew nothing about the modern world"
"But I think she's getting better now with her third try"

"Third?"

"Also, if I taught her to cook well and how to serve customers, I could also ask her to work in the coffee shop!"
"Very well"
"It is ready to serve!"

Both Tama and my mother came out of the kitchen with a plate and a couple of cups of coffee. When they put it on the table I could finally see what they were trying to do. They were only sandwiches, while about three were well made, another three, well let's just say that you could tell at a glance which ones Tama made. But no matter that I had to eat the two that she did I was happy for the food.

"It is quite simple but really rich!"
"You were right"
"Trying food like this again is better with the family!"

"You're crying?" asked Tama.

"And how do you want me not to?"
"Maybe this is very simple"
"But to be back in a place that I can call home"
"With homemade food"
"With my family!"
"It's the only thing I've wanted all this time"
"The only thing I've endured so long"

"Come here!"
"At times like this, the best thing is a hug! my wife replied"

She approached me and did exactly that, hugging me and taking me in her arms for a moment. After which my mother returned to speak.

"It would be even better if we can meet with others"
"With Maria for example"
"But we'll talk about that shortly"
"We have things we have to do first" My mom said with a serious face.
"..."
"Right now I imagine you two don't have any kind of identification"
"And that in an era as modern as this is a big problem"
"Just yesterday I made a couple of calls and coordinate everything to get them"
"But first we must agree with several data"

"What time did you call them and why did someone answer you?"
"You never waste time right?" I told.

"Time is always vital in my work"
"It is a work habit to try to do everything as soon as possible"
"As there is hardly ever time for anything, you must be quick in everything"
"I never waste time like others who just went to bed and sleep with his wife without doing anything despite having a room alone"
