KIA The Ishii ResidenceI am currently at Miaree’s house, spending time together since it’s Saturday and I don’t have anything to do in the house. Ares left the house early, and he just left breakfast and money for lunch with a note. He really is a responsible husband. I would be thankful to God that I met him.“Marcy is always busy... I wish he wouldn’t be the next president in the next school year so that we could spend time together." Miaree mumbled while lying down. We are currently painting a portrait of a girl while we are on the floor. There are no other people here since her parents are busy with their business in Japan. I have known Miaree for the longest time of all of my friends. When Miaree joined our class as a new student in high school, it is when we first became friends. At first, neither of us wanted to talk to the other, but with time, we grew close. The first time I spoke to Miaree, she rolled her eyes and said she didn't see the point and that we wouldn't get alo
KIAHe didn't really speak to me or ask how my day was when we came home, and he hardly even looked at me. What issue might he have? Maybe I really need to talk to him since it's bothering me a lot. But first, I need to take a shower. I felt like Vincent's hands were still in my body. I immediately went to the bathroom and did my thing.While taking a shower, my mind was filled with random thoughts. They kept on running in my head even though I really didn't intentionally think about them. I also have a lot of questions in my mind. I was wondering why the people you love will destroy your trust and crave to gain your trust again when you are already healed or making progress with your life. Do they really enjoy destroying someone's peace of mind? How can they say that they love the person if they didn't even think about the things that would hurt them? Or maybe he really didn't love me but he loved to make me suffer and didn't want me to see someone else. I don't know... there are a
Ares didn't have time to prepare a meal this evening, so he and Kianna made the decision to eat dinner outside. The restaurant had lovely green and red neon lighting that was visible from the outside. As soon as they entered, a young hostess with a smile who was stylishly attired in all black greeted them and directed them to the table they had reserved. Their appetites are immediately whetted by the aroma of freshly prepared meals cooking in the kitchen. It was packed with people, and you could tell that it was bustling by the way the servers were interacting with the customers. To accommodate and gratify everyone in the greatest way must have been a really challenging task for them.“Hon, this restaurant costs a fortune!” Kianna whispered at Ares as they were walking.“Don’t worry. I just received a bonus. Let’s just enjoy this night, so don’t think about the bill.” Ares answered.The room was filled with laughter as families enjoyed one another's company. As they took their seats,
KIAI got out of bed and walked into the kitchen, where I could smell the aroma of freshly prepared coffee, just like every other day. Early in the morning, my husband was up making breakfast. Even though I'm not a morning person, the aroma of that coffee easily roused me this morning. I wouldn't have woken up so quickly if it had been any other day. This day didn't really feel like any other day for some reason. Perhaps because Ares will finally meet my dad, my annoying stepmother, and my half-sister on this day.Ares stood in front of the stove with his left hand on his hip, his right hand holding a spatula. Golden batter bubbled on the griddle. I stood to his right, leaning against a cabinet. He watched me watch him.Although I now eat browned pancakes, knowing that the color delivers taste, I craved golden pancakes. I couldn’t stomach a touch of darkness. The front pancakes on the griddle would stay yellow, but each pair leading to the back carried a tan hint. My husband stacked t
The next day, Kianna decided to have lunch with Miaree. They decided to go out to dine at a restaurant close to the city. It is a thirty-minute walk, which is why Kianna chose to take a taxi going there. When Kianna got off the taxi a beggar immediately approach her and asked her for some money. "Hey, Miss! Can you spare some change? the kid asked.Kianna stopped, “How about food? I am heading to that restaurant, do you want to come with me? I will buy you food instead." "I can't... I don't want to disturb their lunch. I am so dirty and smelly, they surely dislike me..." the kid said with sadness on his face.Kianna looked at the boy with pity in her eyes. She nodded as she grabbed her wallet inside her bag. "Alright, I will give you money instead but promise me that you will buy food using this money, okay? Don't use it buying some useless things."The boy smiled with joy while Kianna is handing him money. "Thank you so much! I promise I will buy food using your money!""Alright,
KIAI was walking home after a long and tiring day. The sultry air and dimming light from the sunset seemed to perfect the unostentatious feel of our small town. While walking I passed by a market, and that is when I remember that we were out of fresh milk in the refrigerator. As I entered the supermarket the guard welcomed me with a big smile. I smiled at him and walk toward the fresh milk section. I grabbed two since it is a buy one take one. I was about to pay when I suddenly notice some bread in the corner. I grabbed a shopping cart and placed my two fresh milk. While roaming around the market I didn't notice that my shopping cart is almost full. I scratched my head as I walked toward the cashier. After paying all of it I decided to ride a tricycle all the way to our house. When I arrived in front of our home, I sighed heavily, pushing past the screen door and entering our small house. When I suddenly felt dizzy, I immediately grabbed the door handle and said, “Oh, I am maxed ou
KIAAlthough being Ares' wife was nice, I was oblivious to the true meaning of marriage outside of our shared love and commitment. I had such bad feelings. What were our roles? What exactly does "being a wife" logically mean? Then it hit me: being a wife can be anything I want it to be.Something about the institution's conventions was giving me trouble, but I knew Ares and I would decide on our marriage as we went through life together. Are we going to open a joint checking account? purchase a home? adopt an infant? But our relationship has only lasted two years. It's too late now; four months have gone by.This night, over chicken adobo, I paused from eating, put my spoon and fork down, and looked at him across the table.“You know, this is absolutely lovely, but you don’t have to do this every time,” I said. “It’s not something I’d ever expect. I can always heat up a frozen pizza or cook for us too.”“What do you mean?” he asked curiously.“Don’t you see? You are always the one who
KIAI made sure to wake up early to prepare lunch for Ares. I’m still a bit nervous, but I think I can do it. I just hope that he will like the taste of the meal that I will cook for him. I went to the kitchen, and the first thing I did was wash my hands. I decided to cook my favorite meal for today’s lunch. I grabbed my phone and played “Sometimes by Britney Spears” and started cooking. While the aroma of the food being cooked kept my nose engrossed. When I finished cooking, I cleaned the lunchbox and set it on the table. First I prepared fried rice, and then when the oven beeped, a sign that roasted chicken was cooked. I brought it out and started slicing it. The rice was well cooked but wasn't too oily, and the chicken was roasted brown, a bit overdone, just the way I preferred. I prepare the meal in the lunch box. Both looked delicious. I hadn’t eaten anything this morning, so without wasting any more time, I took some rice and grabbed a large chicken drumstick on my plate. I to
