Poor Ela, Bin

After completing dinner, Rie went to help Fya to bring the plate to the kitchen room.

"Ela you don't need to work. You just sit here."

"Aunt please let me help" Rie urged Fya with a smiley face.

"Ok, ok. Come with me." Fya didn't disagree then.

After entering the kitchen, Rie directly asked Fya without any act "Aunt can you teach me how to cook these foods?"

Hearing this, Fya felt sad again. 'Ahh, they didn't even know how to cook this food. how much they struggled.'

Seeing her silent face Aie said again "Ahh, actually we didn't eat this type of food before. So I wanted to learn"

Hearing this, Fya felt like crying 'I had better life than them. Maybe they didn't learn how to cook. They might eat only boiled food. Poor souls.' She heard many people from rural areas only ate boil food for living.

"Of course. You can come and learn. But there is a problem" Fya thought for a moment before replying. "Actually, your aunt work in a sewing shop. So I need to go morning every day. So I cook food in the early morning and evening after returning back. So you can only come morning and evening to learn how to cook."

"It is ok auntie. Don't worry. As long as I can learn." Rie's favorite work is cooking. As long as she can learn a new recipe, she can even give her all except life obviously.

"Ok Ela" Fya smiled. "Ahh, Ela did you think about work?"

"No aunt. I didn't. Why?" Rie actually didn't think about work.

After all, she doesn't lack any money. She can lead a normal life easily with the money she has now.

But Fya thought it wrong. She thought maybe Rie is jobless now. It is normal; after all, they just came today. And they came from afar area what Rie said before.

Both of them don't know, what are they thinking about.

"Why don't you work with your aunt? I can ask my sewing master. They won't pay much but you can pay your monthly rent with this money." Actually, a sewer doesn't get that much money they get 20 copper coins every month. And who are new to work get only 10 coins.

Rie thought for a moment. She can't directly reject it. It would seem bad. And it will be a dubious act.

"But aunt, I can't sew. I have no knowledge related clothes" Rie pursed her lips 'Ahh, how many lies I told today. I will be named as "Goddess of lie" in near future'

"Don't worry. Our master is good. They will teach you, it is not that hard. Don't worry"

'I know too. It is not that hard but'

"But will your master agree? I think you should ask her first" Rie is in a dilemma nor she can't accept nor she can't reject.

"You are right. I will ask tomorrow. Don't worry though. I know master will accept you" saying she patted her. Rie gave a miserable smile.

On the other side,

Fushi was speaking with Bianca.

"Uncle can auntie cook hotchpotch too?"

"Yeah. Why? Do you like it?" Fushi gave a questioning stare.

"Ahh, nothing. It tastes good" Bianca murmured. She was still thinking about food. After all, these are the food she had normally in her past life. The tastes are the same too. It gave her a nostalgic feeling. Ahh, she didn't get to eat this for a long time.

To her, commoner life is heaven.

"Ohh, you are right. I like it too. We eat it when there is nothing to eat." Fushi laughed. "Well, bin, how did you managed to rent here? Isn't it costly?"

Although Fushi is soft-minded, he still has some doubts. Because if bin and Ela were that much poor they wouldn't afford to rent a flat here. Though the flat here is the cheapest, it would be still pricey for Ela and Bin. And their behavior is not like wandering children.

"Well, we saved some money by various wandering work. It took a lot of time. After then, we rented this place. We came here to change our luck actually." Bianca stopped saying more.

Although Bianca said the truth, it was easy for Fushi to misunderstand.

After listening to this, he felt a little pity. They struggle too much. It is good that they have ambition.

"Ohh, it was so hard to save money then. If you face any problem, you can ask us. Think of us as your family. Although we can't help much, we will try. And if you can't pay money you can come and live at our house. Don't worry. Work hard" Fushi grinned.

"Don't worry uncle. I will search for a job. Pray for me so I can get a job quickly" Bianca laughed.

"Umm, job, right?" Fushi touched her hair "Umm I think I can help you. But I am not fully sure. I will tell you tomorrow after being confirmed."

"Ok uncle thanks a lot. You lessened half of my worries." Bianca smiled.

"Ah, no need to say thanks. Treat me as your uncle. As you know, I also had no family. So I know how hard it is to live life." thinking back Fushi got sad for a moment. Then he laughed again "No worries. I and your aunt will help you as much as we can"

"Thanks a lot, uncle." Bianca smiled.

"What are you talking about Mr. Fu" Fya entered the room with Rie.

"Nothing. We were having a small chat." He smiled. Bianca agreed, nodding her head.

"Ahh Ela Bin. You worked a lot. You should take a rest. We can talk tomorrow"

"Aigoo, silly me. Yeah, you should go and take rest. We have a lot of time to talk" Fya soft slap her own forehead.

"Yah uncle, aunt we are going home then," Rie replied. "I will come tomorrow morning aunt. Goodbye aunt, uncle"

Bianca silently bowed to them and followed Rie.

"Such polite kiddos." Fya closed the door.

"Yahh. But where is Aly? She wasn't here after completing dinner"

"She took the packet Ela brought and went to her room"

"Why did they brought food actually? It is already hard for them to live"

"Ahh, I don't know maybe they are shy to eat someone's home. You know they can't even cook simple curry. I wonder how did they eat all the time. Maybe they just boil and eat these. Ahh those poor kiddos. Maybe they would eat those boil foods today too."

"I also wonder. Darling, can you cook hotchpotch tomorrow?"

"Why? Suddenly?"

"Bin was saying, he heard fried brinjal goes well with hotchpotch. So I want him to taste it."

"Ohh. Don't worry. I will cook my best food tomorrow. I really like his sparkling eyes. Did you see how skinny they are?"

"Yahh I felt sad. I was thinking we can just increase a little amount of food so they can also eat with us. It might cost a little. We can save less money for a while. What do you think?" Fushi was thinking they could help Bianca and Rie as much as they can. Both are suffering much.

"I was thinking this too. And I will ask my master to give Ela a job at least they can pay rent fee"

"I will also ask my boss. If Bin can get any job it will be good. They didn't bring that much thingy with them. I can see past myself when I see them."

If Bianca and Rie knew what they are thinking they would vomit air.

On Aly side, she is eating cookies and thinks how can food be yummy. She didn't eat any yummy food like this. She decided to keep some to eat next time.
