At writer's cafe, there's a bakery attached to the restaurant. I secretly went to the bakery and ordered something.
Then, I silently went to the table and sat there, waiting for the food.
After some time, the food came, and I was searching for her. She was still busy exploring the books.
I stood up from my chair and walked towards her.
"Stella, food vandhuruchu, sapdalama?"
(Stella, the food has come, shall we eat?)
She nodded and kept that book on the shelf and came along with me.
We sat at the table. She started eating Mac and Cheese. I started eating my dish, and it was horrible. The spaghetti had no taste.
"What the heck? It's tasteless," I uttered.
"Ennachu?"
(What happened?)
"Spaghetti la taste he illa. Edho verum boiled noodles sapudra madhiri iruku. I'm gonna complain."
(The spaghetti has no taste. It's like eating just boiled noodles. I'm going to complain.)
"Sphagetti Aglio Olio order pannigala?"
(Did you order Spaghetti Aglio Olio?)
"Yes," I said.
"Adhu Inga epome tasteless huh dhan irukum. Naan saptu iruken."
(That dish is always tasteless here. I've had it before.)
"Ohh... Wait, I'll complain," I said and started searching for a waiter.
"Mathew, idhuku poi edhuku ipdi tension aaguringa? Wait."
(Mathew, why are you getting so worked up over this? Wait.)
She called a waiter and told him to bring oregano and chilli flakes.
She sprinkled the oregano, chilli flakes, and pepper into my spaghetti and started mixing it.
"Ipo saptu paarunga."
(Now taste it.)
I took a bite, and it tasted good.
"Nalla iruku."
(It tastes good.)
"Avlo dhan, idhuku poi edhuku complaint lam pannikitu?"
(That's all it took, why make such a fuss?)
I nodded, and we both started eating.
"Flammkuchen la 8 pieces iruku, you take 4 and I'll take 4."
(There are 8 pieces in the flammkuchen, you take 4, I’ll take 4.)
She nodded.
We finished our lunch.
"Vaa, bakery polama? Anga ice cream kuda iruku."
(Come, shall we go to the bakery? They have ice cream too.)
"Theiryum."
(I know.)
We headed towards the bakery.
"Unnaku enna venum?"
(What do you want?)
"I'll have one ice cream."
"Bakery items?"
"Vendam edhuvum."
(No, I don't want anything.)
"Why?"
"I'm full, actually."
"Paravala, seri which bakery items are your favourite? Donut? Croissant? Cake?"
(Okay, fine. Which bakery items are your favorite?)
"Podhum podhum, motha list ayum solluvinga pola? I usually have blueberry filled donut and black ebony."
(Enough, you're listing everything! I usually have blueberry filled donut and black ebony.)
"Ma'am, which ice cream would you like to have?" the person asked.
"Rose and Lychee," she said.
"Oh, epdi menu parkama order panra?"
(Oh, how come you're ordering without even looking at the menu?)
