Kapitel 25: Chapter 25: Pancakes (Viewpoint 2)
Fahami's POV:
A sweet smell invaded my nose as I was tossing and turning on my bed. It was a smell of milk boiling and I could hear egg beating. I sat up on my bed and stretched my body.
' I forgot Taesung is here. He must be making breakfast.'
I went to kitchen to investigate what was he cooking. He sensed my presence and turned. He observed me for few seconds and chuckled, "Good morning, Noona."
"Umm, Good morning." My voice sounded like I had a frog in my throat.
He looked amused, "Why don't you fresh up? The breakfast will be ready within few minutes."
Since my childhood, Papa called me penguin because he thought I walked like a penguin in the morning, which was still unbelievable to me. I knew I walked a bit weirdly after waking up. The mischievous smile on Taesung's lips confirmed me that he found my wired walking very amusing.
I didn't care about his amusement and asked, "What are you making?"
"Pancakes." This time he smiled genuinely.
I was still feeling like sleeping. I tried to shush my disturbing sleepiness by rubbing my eyes. Taesung was making my favorite morning dish. "I love pancakes." I yawned.
He chuckled and said, "Hurry up, Noona."
"Hmm." I walked out of the kitchen and went straight to washroom.
When I freshen up and came to kitchen, I found my dining table decorated with pancakes, fruits and warm milk. He pulled a chair for me. I smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
After taking my seat, I grabbed my plate and took bite of pancake, "Umm, it's wonderful." It was too good that I couldn't stop moaning.
I tried to tease him, "You are really a little chef, aren't you? Your wife will be so lucky." But my tease didn't sound sarcastic because my mouth was stuffed with food.
He chuckled and murmured something like cute.
"Huhh? Did you say something?" I asked to confirm my suspicion.
He smiled at me and waved his hand, "Nothing. And I don't know if I will ever have a wife."
I frowned, "Why not?" Why would he think it?
He chuckled, "Why would a girl intertwine herself with a broken person? I don't have money, I dropped out from school, I don't have family. I don't have anything."
It was absolutely ridiculous thought. I scoffed, "No, you are wrong. Any girl would be lucky to be your wife. You are caring, good-looking. You know how to fight and protect. Most importantly, you know how to cook."
He has the ideal qualities.
He laughed and said, "Is that how you measure the good qualities of a man?"
I thought for a moment. Not all girl would want same qualities. Even I looked for something more. I clicked my tongue and said, "No. That's not all still these are some required qualities. But, what I prefer most is loyalty."
"If I believe what you said then would you marry a guy like me?"
I was a little surprised as I didn't expect anything like this from him. Then I thought about his question and I would. "Of course. You are a good person. If we were same aged or if I didn't consider you as my younger brother and you would propose me, I would have said yes."
' Dang it! This boy truly makes me shy.'
Heat rushed to my cheeks, so I tried to avoid eye contact.
I tried to brighten the mood "Besides, the men who cook, are the hottest men on the earth. You should be confident." It was true. I liked the chefs and good looks with cooking skill was a bomb, rare to find.
And my mission succeeded as Taesung laughed loudly. His laughter always made me smile.
I was so hungry, I felt I could munch the whole pancakes. "You know Taesung, I was expecting eggshells in the cake. But I should have known better. Your dishes are fucking amazing." When I looked up, our eyes met. He was staring at my face.
' Oh God! He was noticing how I was eating like an ogre.'
I was blushing again.
"I am glad that you are enjoying the food." He smiled at me. "Umm, Noona? I was wondering something."
I took another bite, "What is it?"
"What happened that night after I left?" He carefully asked me.
I stopped chewing and looked at him in the eyes, "I thought you will never ask." I leaned back on the chair.
I was expecting him to ask me about that night, but he never asked.
He cleared his voice, "I am extremely sorry. I wasn't thinking properly when I left you."
What did he mean? "Why did you leave?"
He licked his bottom lip. I wondered if Taesung knew he had a habit of licking his bottom lip whenever he was nervous.
"I was scared."
I frowned, "Scared? Of what?"
He glanced at me, "I was scared that you would hate me. That, you will think I am a bad person."
' Ironic.'
I chuckled, "Why would I?"
He looked puzzled, "You wouldn't?"
I confidently told him. "Of course, not."
"What did you do? I was expecting police would come to investigate, but they never came."
I was worried of his reaction, " I took the knife with me."
"What?" He sounded surprised.
"After you left, I checked their pulse to see if they were alive. The one you had beaten brutally," I looked up at him cautiously, "I used his cellphone to call emergency number. I tricked them.
He frowned, "How did you trick them?"
"I changed my voice."
"And?"
"Later I buried the knife. Police didn't come to investigate because those bastards were wanted. Besides, police didn't find any evidence against the criminal." I hesitated to call him criminal. It sounded like mumbling.
"I checked around but didn't see any CC camera."
He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Noona, do you realize what have you done? Police could arrest you."
Did he think I didn't know that possibility? I did it for him, "I am not a kid Taesung. I knew damn well what could have happened and that's what I wanted to happen."
He looked bewildered, "What do you mean?"
I took a deep breath, "I wanted to drive them to me. I didn't want them to arrest you and I would have found a way to solve the problem."
Taesung looked angry, "How would you do that?"
I was getting irritated. "I would tell them that I did everything to save myself. It was an act of self-defense."
"Without thinking about your safety? Noona, I don't understand. How can you be so stupid?" His voice was profound, I could sense his rage.
I considered him as my brother but that didn't give him the right to call me stupid. I looked at him sternly, "So, What was I supposed to do after you ran off like a cowered and left the mess for me to clean? What did you expect me to do?"
He flinched. I realized my mistake. I unintentionally insulted him. He looked hurt. I felt sad for him." Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you."
He shook his head, "No, I am sorry. I should have known. Still, it doesn't make sense. Why did you risk your safety? Police could arrest you."
He looked desperate. I gave him a consoling smile to ease his desperation, "You see, just the way your biggest priority is me, my biggest priority is you. I already lost Nabil, I don't want to lose you too." I held his left hand and gently squeezed.
That moment he looked like happy and grateful. I wanted to capture that moment but couldn't.
He got up from the chair and knelt down and took my both hands as he looked at me in the eyes, "I am sorry for yelling at you. It's just, I am over protective of you. I don't want to imagine what could have happened to you."
' It's impossible to stay mad at you.'
I smiled at him and messed his hair. I cupped his left cheek with my right palm, "I know. I feel the same for you."
