:Lunch Boxes

Aixela's Pov:

"Ahhh," I yawned as soon as I wake up. I held my neck and rotated my head. I didn't notice I fell asleep.

"Huh?" I saw a pillow on the table. I looked at his room and smiled.

When I sorted out my clutter, I immediately went to the kitchen. While I was cooking, Officer Dy left his room and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

"Ta-da!" I greeted him while showing him the food on the table.

"Thanks, but I won't eat anymore," he said and was about to walk, but I held him and sat him down.

"For the brain to be full, the stomach must first be full," I told him and gave him a spoon.

"I'll just take a quick shower. Stay there and eat. Eat all that, ok?" I said while taking my towel.

Before I finally entered the bathroom, I faced him and put both hands on my waist. "If you don't finish that and you leave me, you won't pass the test," I threatened him and went inside the bathroom hurriedly.

I hastened to take a shower, and when I came out, I could no longer see him on the table. Argh!

He's so mean!

"Hurry up there! I don't want to be late".

"You're still here!" I smiled. "Ok, I'm almost done."

When I had arranged myself, I took the food I had prepared for him.

"Here, eat it at your break time. It's dark chocolate with nuts. It's good for the brain. I also made you a yogurt, and of course, you have water too. There are also bananas here. They are said to be good to eat before taking the exam. Also, remember, you have to pray before you take the exam, ok?" I said. "Ok, let's go."

"Wait, aren't you going to eat?", He asked.

"We don't have time. You're going to be late".

"You said earlier the stomach needs to be full."

"I'm not the one to take the test. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Besides, I've had enough to taste before while cooking. So let's go", I told Officer Dy and pulled him out.

When we arrived, we saw Officer Yzerman waiting there. She was also holding a lunchbox, and he was happily waving at Officer Dy.

"Officer Dy, this is the day you have been waiting for. You can do it! I believe in you", she cheered.

Officer Dy smiled.

"Before I forget, here, I made you food. I hope you like it", she said.

Officer Dy showed the lunch box he was carrying. "Just give that to her. She hasn't eaten yet", he pointed at me.

I saw that Officer Yzerman looked sad, so I just took the lunch box that Officer Dy was carrying, and replaced it with Officer Yzerman's. Finally, she smiled.

Officer Dy said goodbye to us. But before he could finally enter, he stopped when Officer Yzerman shouted. "Good luck Officer Dy! Fighting!" she cheered. Officer Dy waved before finally entering.

I remember I put a cartolina in my pocket to cheer him up before he went inside. Sadly I wasn't able to use it, but it's okay. Officer Yzerman is here to cheer him up.

"Are you the one who prepared that?", she asked which I nodded.

"Thank you for getting that and giving what I prepared for him instead," she smiled. I just showed her a ring gesture.

"He said you haven't eaten yet. Just eat that, so you don't starve. For sure, it's delicious because you made it", she smiled.

"The exam is a bit long, can you wait here alone? I can't wait with you because I still have work".

[Don't worry, I already know self-defense techniques, and I'm wearing an emergency pager. So I can take care of myself.] I showed her my note.

"All right then, I'll go first. Please just tell Officer Dy to call me when he comes out. Thank you," She said. I just smiled and nodded.

"Take care," She waved goodbye. I just also waved her goodbye.

Ok, so, instead of just staring at it while waiting for him, I'll just eat it.

I already opened the lunchbox. I got shaken when I noticed I was frowning.

Xela, you silly. Why are you frowning? You must be happy because you will eat the delicious food you have cooked.

Ok, it's time to eat. I'm hungry too.

I started eating what I had prepared, but Officer Dy keeps running in my mind. How is he? I hope the notes I made last night helped. I hope Officer Yzerman also put chocolate and bananas in the lunchbox she made so that Officer Dy would not be sleepy. Hays! Why am I thinking of him?

Whatever. I'm just going to eat.

I finished eating and tidying up the clutter, but he still didn't come out. I get tired of watching people pass by. What can be good to do?

Carrying the lunchbox, I first walked around until I found a church. There weren't many people, but it was open. So I went in. I first put the lunchbox on the sit and then knelt to pray.

Lord, thank you for this adventure You have given me. I know You have plans. I hope You continue to guide me and give me strength until this case comes to an end. Also, I am thankful to You for giving me Officer Dy as my companion in this journey. I hope he would pass this test. Bless him, Lord, and may he achieve what he deserves.

After I prayed, I sat down for a while to meditate. When I came out, I met Officer Dy.

"You're just here. Did you know I've been looking for you--" Officer Dy stopped speaking when I put my index finger on my mouth to sign him to keep quiet and realize to stop.

[I'm sorry. I was just praying.] I typed on my phone. [Ok, let's go now.]

"Wait," He said and entered the church. I just followed him and watched him pray as well. I found myself smiling at him.
