Sleepysoul

Prologue

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. I sense unfamiliarity, but I still cannot think straight about this feeling that makes me so uneasy. 

Who I am? Where am I? After the moment had passed, I got up from the bed and saw everything in a daze. I was in a single bed that was made from wood and a thin mattress. 

The smells of burning wood lingering and I saw a fireplace in the room. There are no memories in my head. 

I shake my head as hard as I can and hope that things will get back in place. And then I saw a piece of paper that crumbled at my hand.
 
“Dear Vierra, as you wish I erased your memory from your old life and granted you the cooking skills that will help you in this new world. And let the memory of your recipe from passed life remain. I Hope your new life will give you a better life. From me who cannot be named.”

I let out a heavy sigh. Is this some lame joke? There is a sling bag under the tiny table beside the bed. I found a diary with a name written in front of it. 

“Vierra Maverick”

World of Lost and Found

"I wonder if there will be something I can do to eat with it. I didn't see rice in this place, I wonder if I could get it in the near future. Or at least I should make a sauce for it. If there is ketchup" 


I mumbled alone, letting out a heavy sigh. 


I should make some research for ingredients of this world. 


I place my hand at the table and my fingers tapping playing frustrated rhythm while I'm thinking hard. 


"I need something sour yet it has a bit of sweetness in it. I wonder if there are tomatoes in this world" 


I closed my eyes and suddenly I felt something touch my hand. I saw a few fruits rolled out from the magic bean bag. 


"Berry? Grape?"  I took one of them and looked closer. It was the size of a grape. I took the bean bag and saw a bundle of vines. I take one and put it into my mouth. 


"It tasted like tomatoes but looked like grapes. Is it possible?" 


Tomatoes have a light taste of MSG other than it is sour and a little bit sweet. I felt like crying and grateful that this tomato in grape shape does exist. 


"So we washed it, and we put all of it in the bowl. using a big wood spoon, crashed all of it. Then finely chop the onion and carrot to make a small cubes. Then heat the pan, put some oil. Let it heat in a minute, pour the onion" 


I can hear the sizzling sound when the onion meets the oil in the pan. 


When the onion turns brownish I pour the carrot. 


Toss a few minutes then pour the fruit that has the tomato taste. I put salt and sugar, while stirring it until It get thick. 


"It's almost done, we can… eat together later"


I turn around and fall to silence as no one is around me. Did I just hear things? But it is obviously people's voice. I held the wood spoon tied while blinking my eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with my sight.


"V… Is everything ready? It's gonna be dinner time soon" 


I look at Madame Anne with some questions in my head. But as I think there was more important stuff to finish I brush that away from my head.


"It's almost done. I just need to get the bread" 


I wish I could eat the omelette with rice. It is a shame but I didn't find any rice but for now I will enjoy it with the bread.


I smile as I remember the homemade bread of Madame Anne. It is soft and light. 


I really love her bread, and imagine I can eat the omelette mushroom with the sauce that I made. This is totally gonna make me cry.


Madame Anne looked so amazed with the taste in her mouth. 


She tried to eat it just like I did and she smiled beautifully. 


"This is amazing Vierra… How that tiny body make this wonderful food… haha"


"Thank you… I just really realy like to cook and food always make me feel happy"


Look at how they like the food. I have a chance to get more time in the kitchen after this. I am so happy that I could cry.
