The Talk Part 2
Wednesday, April 08, 2021
It was the last day of work for the week. In normal situations, this is one of the holidays in the Philippines that Filipinos await because it is one of the longest holidays. This is the time when all terminals everywhere are filled with travellers be it airport, seaport, bus terminals among others. It is a chance for family and friends to have their reunion or for students and employees to relax and unwind, go to the beach to recharge. It is unfortunate that it is not possible at present. Maan cannot help but think of their province. If she is there right now, she is sure that she will be by the beach with her whole family any day this week to bond. She thought of calling her brother later. For now, she busied herself in notifying their customers in GilYan’s Kitchen social media accounts that they can start placing their orders again starting next week.
She was busy cleaning the house when she heard her phone r
As of writing, the Philippines is still under community quarantine (granular lockdown on selected areas)

Thursday, April 09, 2020It’s the start of a very long weekend. Rest day for all employees. Gil will not report for work starting today. They plan to buy the things they need for Sunday’s orders after lunch. She started cleaning the house and then worked on her list of expenses and revenues of GilYan’s Kitchen for more than two weeks of operation. She was able to earn a considerable amount of money and was able to save up for herself because she is not spending much lately. Gil prohibits her from sharing in household expenditures. More often, he buys even her personal stuff for her even if he told him not to. Gil saw her in that situation.“Good morning, love!” he greeted her.“Good morning! You woke up late today.” Maan observed.“Yeah. It’s okay there’s no work today anyway so I stayed up late last night. What are you doing? “ he asked.“I am just fixing the lis

Friday, April 10,2020 It was Good Friday. Maan thought of making a native delicacy. In their province,during Holy Week her mother would make different kinds of native delicacies like sticky rice or cassava wrapped in banana leaf, rice cake or a variety of fruits cooked in coconut milk. Now, she decided to make sticky rice cooked in coconut milk but instead of wrapping it in banana leaves since it is not available she will just put it in containers. Once cooked, she placed it on the table to let it cool down before placing it inside the refrigerator. She saw the ripe mangoes on the table and decided to slice it and put it on top of the sticky rice. She was delighted to see the finished product because it added color to the food. She was cleaning up the kitchen when she saw Gil going down from the stairs. It was past nine in the morning and since she knew that there is no work for this week, she just let him sleep late and wake up late. Maan used to wake up earl

She went outside to check and saw the couple John and Angel. “Good morning, ma’am Maan! John greeted her while she opened the gate for them. “Good morning to the both of you! She greeted them back. “Ma’am Maan, I would like you to meet my wife, Angel. Did we arrive too early?” John asked. “Hi, Angel! I am pleased to meet you. You just came right on time. Gil is still sleeping. Let’s get inside. “ Maan said, then ushered them inside the house. “Have you eaten your breakfast? Come and have some coffee.” Maan invited them in the kitchen. “We’re good Ma’am. We had our breakfast before we left the house. “ Angel answered.

She moved slightly from lying sideways to lying on her back and removed the heavy burden on her body when she felt an arm around her waist that gently pulled her closer to body beside her. She heard a soft groan from Gil beside her. Then she remembered what happened last night. Flashback After doing their respective nightly ritual before going to sleep, Maan went to Gil’s bedroom carrying her own pillow and blanket. She saw him fixing the bed. Gil sat on the bed when he saw her coming in. “Why do you have your own pillow and blanket?” Gil asked, surprised. “Of course, I don’t want to fight with you over a pillow and a blanket when I have my own.” Maan replied and went to the other side of the bed. “If you don’t want to share my blanket with you then I will be the one to share wih your blanket.

Monday, April 20, 2020 Days passed and it’s been a week since John and Angel went to work for GilYan’s Kitchen. The orders keep on growing enough to pay for their salary and make the business afloat. The couple are hard workers and good companions. Maan thought she found a new friend in John and Angel. Both Gil and Maan’s parents never fail to give them a call in a week to check on them. They are happy that their business is doing well and their relationship is going strong. There were also some establishments that requested for them to deliver food regularly just like the local grocery store nearby which ordered 10 solo orders of Maja Blanca and sticky rice with mangoes every week. Maan also did not fail to notice Angel’s cravings and she’s happy with John’s thoughtfulness and caring ways to give in to his wife’s needs. Maan thought if Gil would be like John if she gets pregnant with their child. She quickly dismissed the thought and silently scolded herself for thi

Angel and John are both hardworking and dedicated working for GilYan’s Kitchen. There was only one day when they requested to leave for work and that was the day of Maan’s pre-natal check up. One week before the scheduled check up, they already informed them and John even looked for a temporary replacement for him which Maan thought to be very considerate of him. Angel also has a visible baby bump now to which Maan was very fond of. She usually touches it every morning and considers it a lucky charm.

Sunday May 03, 2020 It was almost eleven in the morning when Gil and Maan left for Las Pinas. Just like what Joan requested they brought with them two large disposable food containers of sticky rice with mangoes and maja blanca. It took them 30 minutes to reach a spacious lot where a modern two-storey house stood fenced with a black gate and a well- manicured lawn. Gil honked his car and after a short while a smiling Joan opened the gate to let the car in. Right when the car stopped, Maan did not wait for Gil to open the car door for her and she excitedly went out to hug Joan. “Couz! Maan and Joan both exclaimed. “Aren’t you going to greet me too? I am also your cousin. “ Gil said, faking offense. “OMG! Couz! Are these my requests?” Joan burst upon seeing the food containers Gil carried. “It seems that you are more excited with the food we brought than to see your handsome cousin!” Gil smirked. “Don’t feel bad couz Gil you are st
