-Tell me something Jerry?
-Hmm?
-When did you learn Kali? You know some may call it Eskrima...
-...Back when I was in college,- Even though his answer was delayed I couldn't find any shallowness there.
-Wow, that's interesting.
-...
-...
-...
-You've covered everything pretty well. I guess it suits you, being the barkeep.
-Thank you Ms. Inspector.
-Reminds me about our first encounter.
-Could you pass the sugar?
-...
-Mix these up, will you?
-...,- He pointed towards a bowl containing few very basic dairy products. "Say, are we doing some baking?"
-Layla, Jane both wanted to have something new. I have been thinking over it.
-Right, then let's get to work; (signs)looks like I have taken someone's place, again, doesn't it?
-She was actually looking forward to your cooking, Jane too. Guess she couldn't tell you huh after all?
-...no I guess.
-So, why not just grant her wish?
-What! Now?
-Surprise is always good after a hard day.
-Yeah that might have been sweet but you see..
-Sweet, right?
-Ugh, I don't think..besides(sighs)..I'm not really flourished with ideas right now.
-Sure you are. And I'm your one and only assistant tonight.
-(Sighs)...I guess we can try. But what about your dish?
-Backup,- He gave me a little smile. It was understandable that it was nothing less than mockery.

-White onions?
-Yeah, there should be some in the refrigerator. I'll go check.
-Thanks.
-Have you thought of your guest?
-...,- Jerry was talking about my new cousin. He was made aware of the whole situation at my apartment by then. The honour was mine unfortunately.
-What are you going to do with him?
-I don't know, maybe I will just report him to Dad.
-Hmm. Well, was he of any help at all? Did you get anything on him?
-Nothing helpful.
-Oh? So, you did find something. Didn't you?
-I wouldn't call it a finding but stupidity.
-Makes you mad?
-Ugh no, not mad. Annoyed.
-I would say it's a decent opportunity. You could try and use his affection towards you as a tool.
-...,- I noticed that he had left a pair of those white onions. They were looking rather fresh despite being a few days old.
-This looks good! Smells tasty too. Great job Sel,- The lid was lifted and the beautiful aroma of chicken curry filled the room. The compliment that came from Jerry put a smile on my face. It had been quite some time since I was actually proud of myself. Although Jerry helped with the measurements the whole recipe was mine.
-Now, let's give it some finishing touches by putting these onions over.
-Wow! Now that's a sight.
-This was one of my mother's favourite. I think, I would love to get back at cooking. Someday.
-You know Sel, I am starting to feel jealous about the guy who's going to have you as his wife.
-Are you now?
-Well I know how it feels. Watching someone you love cooking, running and playing.
-Jerry?
-Yes?
-Thanks.
