WHAT IF?

"What are you doing?" Hikaru questions Marianna who was pouring so much chilies in the food they were preparing. "Marianna?, Marianna?" She yells out her name, bringing her back to reality.

"Huh?" Marianna was startled at the way she called her name. "Did you say something?"

"You already destroyed the food we are making by pouring so much chilies in it," Hikaru motions with her eyes to the pot. Marianna looks inside the pot and gasped at the amount of chilies she already wasted in there. "What's wrong? You seemed lost these days, the other time you almost got your dress burnt while ironing."

Marianna lets out a deep breath and returned her gaze to the pot. "I don't know, I just can't tell. I feel like I don't know who I am anymore, my identity."

Hikaru stared at her for a long time before letting out a laugh to the astonishment of Marianna. "Are you okay?" Hikaru laid her hand on her forehead. "Did you have so much to drink last night?"
