“Wala ba talagang cook book sa bahay niyo?”
medyo napapraning na tanong ko kay Ally habang pinagchachagaan yung lumang cook book na nakita ko lang na nakatambak dito sa apartment ni Gab.
“Wala nga. Di na kailangan ng cook book ni Yaya Bening noh.” Sabi ni Ally nang nilalaro niya si Gabbie.
“Ba’t kasi kailangan pang pagluluto ang naisipan mong gawin? E hindi ka naman marunong magluto. Binilhan mo na lang sana ng something si Gab. Maappreciate naman niya yun.”
“material ba yung mga ginagawa ni Gab para sakin? Di naman diba? This is the least I could do for him.” Nagbuntong hininga lang si Ally habang bumalik naman ako sa pagluluto kuno ko.
Ok, the deal is…
Naisipan kong bumawi sa lahat ng tulong, sakripisyo, pag-aalaga at kung anu-anu pang ginawa ni Gab para samin ni Gabbie.
He has been there for us for a year now pero kahit once di ko man lang siya napagsilbihan, naipaglaba o naipagluto.
I mean, he always acted as a husband to me and a father to Gabbie. But I have never acted as a wife to him. Kung kaya kong maging ina kay Gabbie, I’m sure I can be a wife to Gab. And I think its about time.
Kaya kahit hindi ako marunong magluto e sisikapin ko. HEHE.
“Hay naku. Good luck na lang sayo.” At tumawa pa ng mapang-asar si Ally. Wow ah, ang supportive ni best friend ko. Hehe.
Haay…
Culinary was never a good choice for me. HEHE.
“Its been a long time since you attempted to cook.” She said, trying to reminisce the old days. Ako, hindi ko na sinubukang alalahanin pa. Masyadong madugo ang cooking days ko noon. HAHA.
“As I remember, the last time you tried to cook for someone was nung first anniversary niyo ni Cian kaya lang—“ I cut her sentence off bago pa man niya matapos.
“Ally, didn’t we agreed to forget unnecessary things?” and its been a long time since I heard his name nor have I seen his face, smelled his perfume, touched his skin…
WAKE UP NIOBE!
Remember: Gab. Gabgabgabgabgab.
I don’t know how many tries I did just to make one dish for Gab.
Basta ang alam ko, hindi lang isang beses nor dalawa nor sampu… HEHE.
Andami ko atang nasayang na ingredients, paulit ulit kasi ako.
Siyempre, practice makes perfect nga diba?
