Fake Relationship

"Goodmorning class, ready na ba ang inyong mga ingredients? We'll start in a few minutes." Sabi ni Chef Marie.

Isa akong Culinary Arts Student. Mahilig ako magluto ng kung ano-ano, gusto ko rin kasi maging chef someday. I just wanted to know how to make and I needed someone to teach me how. So here I was.

Chef Marie looked at the board and picked up the piece that she had marked on it earlier this morning, with a smile.

"This is Chicken Parmesan." She said, pointing to the chicken in question. "You could start by making it into an omelette, if you like. I'm going to go back and see if anyone has any ideas for what kind of dish you might use for it." He walked away to the other side of the kitchen.

"Pwede na kayong magsimula." Chef Marie said.

Inilagay ko ang aking kamay sa ilalim ng manok at nagsimulang magmasa. Making sure to keep eye contact with everyone who came in to check our progress during the process. I heard Chef Marie yell out to a student near the front door.

Nagce-cellphone pa rin kasi kahit lesson, napagalitan tuloy.

Pagkatapos kong masahiin ang manok ay tinimplahan ko na ito ng asin at paminta. Binudbod ko ang manok sa harina, pagkatapos ay isinawsaw ko sa itlog. Pagkatapos ay binudbod ko ulit ang manok sa bread cramps.

Pagkatapos ay inilagay ko ang mantika sa isang kawali at hinintay uminit hanggang sa umusok. Nagdagdag ako ng Chicken Breast sa pan and cook until golden brown on both sides. About 2 minutes per sides.

Habang hinihintay ko ang manok na maluto ay niluto ko muna ang tomato sauce.

Pinainit ko ang olive oil sa isang medium saucepan over medium heat. Nilagay ko an sibuyas at bawang hanggang sa maluto. Inilagay ko na rin ang purong kamatis kasama ang katas, durog na kamatis, tomato paste, isang tasa ng tubig, bay leaf, perehil, cubanno pepper, at pinakuluan.

Pagkatapos ay tinimplahan ko ito ayon sa aking panlasa. Nilagyan ko ng asin at paminta. Ni-low ko ang lutuan at niluto hanggang sa lumapot. Mahigit 30 minutes ng maluto ang tomato sauce.

Inilipat ko ang manok sa isang baking sheet at nilagyan ng tomato sauce. Naghiwa rin ako ng mozzarella cheese at binudbod. Nagbudbod rin ulit ako ng asin, paminta, at isang kutsara ng permasan. Pagkatapos ay inilagay ko sa oven at niluto ang manok hanggang sa matunaw ang cheese. Limang minuto ang nakalipas, inalis ko na ang manok sa oven at inilagay sa table, pagtapos ay binudburan ko ng basil at parsley leaves.

Naglagay ako ng chicken permasan sa isang plato. Nagdecorate pa ako bago ko tawagin si Chef Marie.

"Chef Marie, I'm done." Taas noo kong saad. Napatingin naman sa'kin ang iba. Lumapit naman sa'kin si Chef Marie. Inabot ko sakanya ang tinidor, at kinuha niya naman. Kinakabahan ako habang nina-namnam ni Chef ang luto ko. Napapadasal pa ako kay papa god na sana magustuhan niya.

After five minutes, she finally finished eating everything that was on the plate. She smiled at me.

"You did a good job." Her voice was calm, unlike mine.

"Thank you, ma'am." I replied.

"You can rest now." She told me.

"Thankyou, ma'am." I said. My legs were starting to hurt from standing so much. Mabilis kong kinuha ang phone ko at chinat si Zero.

Tanya Zielle

Zero, omg!! I have something to tell you. Nauna akong natapos magluto and nagustuhan ni Chef Marie waaaah!

Delivered.

Hinintay ko na magchat si Zero at nang magchat ay dali-dali kong kinuha ang phone ko at tinignan.

Zero Cadman

Really? That's a good news! Pag naging chef ka ikaw magluto ng handa sa kasal namin ni Alara ha? ahahahahaha joke feeling ko ampota.

Kasama ko si Alara ngayon, nasa coffee shop ulit kami ni Felicity. Gusto mo pumunta?

Zero sent a photo.

Just now.

My smiles now disappeared just because of the picture he sent. He and Alara were holding hands, and the painful part... Alara kissed Zero again which made Zero very happy in the picture. He smiled widely, so it looks like he was kissing her back, but not really. They look happy together though they weren't exactly dating each other yet. My heart hurt.

"Why do you keep on sending these pictures?" I whispered. "You two have no idea what you're doing." I whispered again as I tried to stop my tears from falling. I looked down trying to prevent myself to get anymore angrier than I already am.

Tumunog ang phone ko kaya tinignan ko ulit. Mas lalo akong nasaktan. Napapansin na ng iba ang luhang dumadaloy sa mukha ko kaya napapatingin sila.

Zero Cadman

Sent a photo.

Just now

He and Alara was smiling and laughing, he had his arm around her waist while Alara has both her arms wrapped around his neck. It looks like they are hugging each other. I don't know why but seeing this is killing me inside. Why didn't I have any happiness with the guy I love the most? Why can't we Zero and I be happy together? I should be the one with the smile on my face right now, not someone crying while seeing this photos.

"Hey Tanya, you okay?" Nag-a-alalang tanong ni Chef Marie. Ngumiti naman ako.

"I'm okay Chef. Tears of Joy lang po, kasi nagcongrats yung paborito kong tao." Pilit kong pinipigilan ang pagluha ko ngunit hindi ko magawa. Patuloy pa rin na tumutulo ang mga luha ko.

My phone started to ring and I quickly grabbed it. Zero's name appeared on my screen and I accepted immediately.

"Chef, someone's calling. Sagutin ko lang po baka emergency." Tumango si Chef Marie kaya agad akong lumabas ng room at tumakbo sa kung saan walang makakakita sa'kin.

I felt how my eyes became wetter again while listening to his voice.

"Hey! What are you doing right now?" He asked.

"Nothing! Kakatapos ko lang magluto, patapos na rin kami." I answered while sniffling.

"You sound sad..." he whispered sadly.

"Yeah... I miss you." I sobbed while still keeping eye contact with the phone. Pinipigilan na hindi ako mapaiyak.

"I'll come to see you later today if that's okay? I miss you too." I nodded without saying anything.
"Silent means yes. Love you!" My tears started to fall. I could hear the smile in his voice after those words.

"See you later." I said with that I hung up. Tears fell like crazy as I stared at my phone. It doesn't even bother me if anyone saw me crying, wala naman masiyado makakakita dahil kaunti lang ang tumatambay dito. I wanted to cry because of the pain in my chest but there was nothing that I could do. Nothing at all.
