"Do you know how to cook, Kean?" Sasha asked as she was cleaning the pot she'll use.
"Not really, sorry... i might not be helpful when it comes to this."
"It's fine, i can teach you."
"Really?!" I feel kind of excited. I've always wanted to try cooking but my brother won't let me since we already have our own nanny to do all the household chores for us. "Yeah, you should clean up those hands so we can get started."
"Awesome!" I quickly washed my hand on her sink. When i got back, she prepared some knife, chopping table, and a few potatoes for me. "I'll teach you how to peel vegatables first."
"Oh, we're gonna peel this potatoes." I told myself.
She grabbed herself a knife and showed me how. "First, we slice off one end of the potato."
I tried to mimic what she was doing. The first step was successful!
"Next, we stand the potato up with the sliced end on the bottom. Then we peel one section of the potato at a time." She started at the top of the potato and peeled off the skin until her knife reaches the bottom of the potato.
I've done the best i can, but i think i may have chopped off the potatoes' flesh too much. "Nice try! You can do it more properly with more practice, you go and peel off the other potatoes now."
Then she left me to prepare the rest for our lunch.
After minutes, Sasha came back finding me almost finished with peeling the potatoes. "I'm impressed! You learn so quick, Kean!"
"Thanks, haha." Yeah, i tried showing off my skills to her. I really wanted to impress her, so i did my best. "Let's mix this potatoes in the beef stew now."
"Beef stew!? That makes me more hungrier!" And my stomach is literally begging for food.
Once she mixed in the potatoes, we waited for a few minutes to let the stew cook. When it was done, Sasha and I set up the table and served ourselves our lunch. "This is so good!" Never thought homemade meals can be this delicious.
"Of course it is, we both made this." She said while eating.
"But i just peeled potatoes."
"Yeah, what's important is that you helped me make this food. So let's enjoy this 'til were full!"
After the satisfying meal, my belly was big enough to make me feel so lazy to move an inch. Seems like it was the same for Sasha, she ate two bowls of stew after all. "That was a feast." I joked.
She laughed. "I think i won't be having dinner, i ate too much."
"Same here *burps loudly*, oh excuse me."
"Hahaha! That was one loud burp."
"Can't help it, lunch was great." We just laughed it off.
While we were chatting, i began to feel sleepy. "Do you want to rest, Kean?" Sasha asked.
I just nodded, she then led me to the guest room. Once i got myself on the bed, she said. "Sweet dreams."
I smiled at her then closed my eyes.
I woke up from a very terrible feeling, my body aches like hell. When i looked at the wall clock, it was already afternoon. Shit, i wasn't able to take my pain reliever pills on time.
My stomach also growled, i guess i slept for too long and skipped lunch.
But the dream, it was all worth it.
