Sira sneezed a few times, rubbing her runny nose."Oh my god. Is it possible that someone is talking about me in the back," muttered Sira still rubbing her nose."You don't seem to be feeling well?" asked Roy who handed her a bottle of mineral water.The sweat on Sira's forehead was clearly visible, Roy immediately took a handkerchief without hesitation to wipe Sira's sweat. The girl reflexively backed away, she was not ready for Roy's sudden touch."Sorry. I was quite surprised," said Sira smiling awkwardly. Roy was forced to pull back his hand cow and smiled wryly."Yes, I understand that." Roy looked around the training ground. He used to study at this place to hone his martial arts skills."Do you feel comfortable here?" Roy asked, he couldn't force it if Sira felt uncomfortable."I think I can adapt quickly. Thank you again for helping me." Sira gave him a sweet smile."But, if you feel uncomfortable. Tell me immediately, of course I will find the best place and make you comforta
The next day, Sira couldn't stop thinking about her nightmare, although she felt much better after talking to her mother. While she was playing in the yard, Sira saw a small bird flying and landing on a tree branch. The bird seemed to be struggling, one of its wings looked injured.Sira approached the bird carefully. She remembered her mother's message to always be gentle with small creatures. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you," she whispered as she held out her hand.The little bird seemed hesitant for a moment, but finally let Sira approach. Sira slowly lifted the bird into her palm. It was then that she realized that the bird was probably lost or had fallen out of its nest. With great care, Sira brought it into the house."Mom! Look at this!" called Sira as she entered the house with the bird in her hand.Her mother, who was in the kitchen, immediately came and saw the little bird. "Oh, dear, what a pity for this bird. It looks like it hurt its wing," said her mother in a lovi
Sira was once again startled when she heard her alarm go off loudly. She immediately sat up and reflexively turned off her alarm in a hurry."I'm dreaming of being a kid again," Sira muttered, looking to her right and left. Finding her still in her room, the place and arrangement were still the same.Once again Sira felt confused, she was still in a daze after waking up. Unconsciously she daydreamed, her gaze was blank but instead her mind traveled to the dream she had just had."Does that include childhood memories? But they don't appear when I'm awake, just when I'm asleep, they often appear without being prevented," Sira muttered as if talking to someone, even though she was alone.Sira was really faced with a complicated reality. She rarely dreamed about being a child with an intact family. Suddenly Sira's tears welled up, for some reason she felt like she was deliberately connecting with her dream."Do I want to have an intact family too much? Maybe this is part of my childhood w
Her busy schedule in the kitchen made Sira instantly forget about Damian. Cooking kept her focused and her deft hands were constantly mixing and swinging the spatula. If you look closely, Sira is actually more suitable as a cook than a dishwasher. But whatever it is, Sira is grateful for it. She didn't expect more to become a chef, because she realized her skills were still below standard compared to chef Brian."Take a break first." Roy suddenly came and handed her a bottle of water. But because Sira's hands were busy, she did not immediately welcome Roy's gift."Of course. Put it on the table, I'll drink it later. Thank you in advance," Sira replied only glancing briefly at Roy and refocused on her work.Roy shook his head slightly, "Maybe soon you will be like chef Brian," Roy said approaching Sira.Sira just smiled slightly, "That's still far from my mind, and even now I don't know how my cooking tastes." Sira remained focused on cooking, because there were still some food orders
Sira flipped through the recipe notes written down by Chef Brian several times. Then she scratched her head, which was not itchy, but felt confused.Sira turned down the volume of the music drumming in her ears, "Really? I just heard of this dish," Sira muttered with her eyes flicking several times to the recipe and order notes."Penne Arrabbiata?" Sira murmured once more, ka tried and understood the recipe written down by chef Brian with such a well-organized explanation."Penne Arrabiata recipe:""Penne Arrabiata is a pasta dish that is famous for its appetizing spicy flavor." Here is how to cook Penne Arrabiata:Ingredients:250 grams of penne pasta. 2 tbsp olive oil. 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped. 1/2 onion, finely chopped. 400 grams canned tomatoes (or fresh diced tomatoes). 1-2 tsp red chili powder (to taste).

As Roy said, before they visited chef Brian and his daughter. Roy took Sira first to a fruit center. There were various types of various hand fruits that were neatly arranged, from small to large."I didn't know there was a place like this," muttered Sira, amazed and astonished at the place she was stepping on now."Of course there is. We're not in the stone age, there's no way a place like this doesn't exist," Roy replied quickly and then shook his head.Sira didn't respond anymore to what Roy said, she gave some souvenirs then immediately paid for them, so did Roy who followed Sira."What did you buy?" asked Sira casually as they waited for the taxi to arrive."Not much," Roy replied showing a plastic bag that was quite full of goods."You should play first, I'm sure you must be tired," Sira said pausing."No need. Let's get going," Roy said walking first. Roy then deliberately took Sira's hand.Among the brightly shining stars, Love grew in the silence of the night. In the gentle
