Violet the Wallflower | COMPLETED

Chapter 12

"My lady, Lady Iris have arrived", sabi saakin ni Georgina. Napangiti naman ako. Ngayon araw ko na kasi tuturuan si Iris na mag-bake ng sugar cookie.

Though, she already learned the basic, but what we are going to do is the decorating. Tinulungan ako ni Georgina na isuot yung apron, kahit na pinatali ko lang naman sa likod ko.

"Good day, Lady Iris. Are you ready?"

"Good day to you too, Lady Violet. Yes, I am ready", bati ni Iris na naka-apron na rin. Binuksan na ni Georgina yung pintuan papuntang kusina namin.

What we're about to do is against the decorum of being a noble lady of Merriole Kingdom. That is why we are doing this in secret here on our estate.

"It's an honor to share this kitchen with you, Lady Iris and Lady Violet. All the ingredients have been prepped", ani ni Chef Seff na all-around chef slash pâtissier ng Glyn family.

"Good job, Chef", sabi ko nang mapansin kong naka-prepare na lahat ng gagamitin namin at napansin ko ring sobrang kintab ng kusina.

Chika saakin ni Georgina, naglinis daw ng bongga dito sa kusina. 

"For now, let's start making the cookie dough", since we do not have mixers here, kami nalang ang nagwi-whisk. Feeling ko magkaka-muscle ako nito. Although, tinutulungan naman kami nila chef at Georgina. 

Flour, butter, white sugar na dala ni Iris, egg, vanilla extract na hindi ko alam kung saan nakuha ni chef at ammonium bicarbonate na dapat baking soda.Since hindi pa available dito ang baking soda, nagpahanap ako kay Chef Seff na alternative for leavening. Hindi na ako nagtanong kung saan niya nakuha but chika ulit saakin ni Georgina, marami daw siyang connections. Tsaka dating mercenary si Chef Seff, kaya alam an.

"Iris, how are you doing?", tinignan ko si Iris na energetic pa rin. Hindi na nga nagpatulong sa pagwhisk eh. Where is her energy coming from? Samantalang ako, nag-give up kakawhisk kaya ipinasa ko kay Georgina.

"I'm doing fine. We already made the dough, what's next?"

"Ah! Let's cover it up with cloth for now to firms up".Ilang saglit din ay itinuloy na namin yung pag-roll dun sa dough. 

"Iris, look at this molders", ipinakita ko kay Iris yung mga pinagawa kong molders. May mga iba't iba itong mga shape. 

"You can choose any of this to cut out your cookies".

"Oooh, they're cute. I think I'll go with the heart shape and this one...", nagtaka naman ako sa kinuhang isa ni Iris. It's a big circle. May plina-plano nanaman siguro ito.

"Then, I'll just go with the star shape and flower shape", we started cutting out our cookies and placed them in to the baking pan.Inilagay naman na ni Chef Seff yung cookies namin sa stone oven since wala naman oven dito, yung tulad sa past life ko. Tsaka wala namang kuryente dito noh. Si chef na ang magbabantay doon sa cookies para hindi masunog.
