"Go on try it.It'll taste good.I promise."

I put on my best face and braved a bite out of the soup she had spent hours on making.What kind of soup takes hours to make exactly..?

I really didn't want to burn my taste buds at the beginning meal of the day.I glowered at Sekra who shrugged innocently. Well she could have shrugged just delicately when she was egging Ma on trying this new recipe.Traitor.It's not like she had to taste it and all.

I took a small bite and closed my eyes immediately.The bitter taste swarmed my tongue.It stayed there because I couldn’t force myself to swallow it down.Ma's watching.Ma's watching.With great haste I gulped it all inside.Opening my eyes instantly I smiled huge and brightly."It's great Ma."

Ma looked at me suspiciously but not getting any other emotion on my face smiled huge herself."Really.?It's good.You are not just lying to make me feel good..?"
