Hidden Heart: A Saga Of Redemption

Agony For Leaving!

Victor: I.. I thought you might like it. (Handed him the remote) You can watch anything you want to.

[She was mesmerized by his childishness moment by moment.]

Amelia: (bit her lips to suppress her smile) No... No... It's okay. I love watching cartoons till now and (whispering) especially Doraemon.

Victor: (rubbing his neck one time) Then please enjoy. Call me if you need anything. I'm in the kitchen.

Amelia: (again tried) But Victor, I can still help you.

[He quickly left the room to avoid further conversation about the same thing which was already decided. She chuckled from behind.]

Amelia: (murmuring to herself) Mr. Vocalno has Doraemon in his playlist. (Shaking her head) Great!

[She properly settled herself on the cozy bed. She glanced around her once. The whole room was dimly lit as sunlight was blocked by the curtains. But still it defines the romantic aestheticism in it least vibrance. The flickering white light from the TV screen fell through the whole floor and it lit up Amelia 's neutral face sometimes. She took one deep breath, pulled the light grey colored blanket and covered her legs till his thighs.]

[She took the remote and adjust the volume at a decent point. Gradually she lost at the comical, nostalgic world of cartoon characters.]

[AT THE KITCHEN]

He took a deep breath and steadied himself while wrapping the apron around his chest to waist. He made ready himself for the better recipe he knew in his entire life. He slided a panel under the right side of the sink. He pulled out a jar and took out noodles from it. He placed a moderate bowl, poured some required water, dropped the noodles and turned on oven for boiling. Then he went to the fridge to take out boneless chickens, eggs and vegetables. He became confused about what amount of vegetables required for serving 2 plates of Noodles and Chillie Chicken.]

[However, he brought depending as per his assuming power. While the noodles were boiling he thought to marinate the chicken with chillie powder, soya sauce, cornflower and 3 eggs. As he broke the 1st egg, he broke it mistakenly and it splattered over the counter.]

Victor: (threw the egg shell haphazardly on the floor in frustration) Damm it VICTOR!! Focus on yourself.

[He took out another egg from the tray. This time he did well for the 3 eggs. He grabbed a tablespoon to mix it well and covered it with a lid and placed it in the freezer.]

[He checked the noodles if they were boiled well or not. As it is not yet he placed the chopping board over the counter and fetch a knife to cut vegetables. He cut them very patiently with no hurry.]

Victor: (muttering to his unconsciousness) I've cut these very nicely so that she might like it.

[He cut potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, bellpapers, onions one by one. After that he peeled the skin of ginger and garlic very carefully. He divided the vegetables in 2 plates. One for noodles and the other one was for chicken. He placed a black granite frying pan over another burner. He poured some olive oil and after heated he slid the vegetables for saute. As he cooked, he couldn't help but thought about how much he enjoyed having her around.]

Victor: (contented in mind) I've never felt this way before. Literally I'm enjoying cooking for her. I want to make her happy. I want her to know how much she means to me.

[On the other hand Amelia was totally true to watching TV. But suddenly she realised that she got pee. She sided the pillow and blanket over her to go outside. She headed to the kitchen and peeped through the entrance.]
