          "CALEB, where is he?" agad na tanong ni Gord kay Caleb matapos niyang maayos at mapaliguan ang sarili.

He can already smelled the awful smell coming from the kitchen, where Caleb is. He's a pathetic-trying-hard-to-cook.

"Shit! I burned it again?" halatang iritado ang boses ng kaniyang kaibigang si Caleb habang nakatingin ito sa niluluto nitong nangangamoy sunog na.

Gord came closer to Caleb, just to check it out. Nakagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi upang mapigilan ang sariling ngumiti. Wala siya sa mood ngumiti, there's also no time for that.

The reason behind his smile was because Caleb already burned so many egg dish, were he's trying hard to cook, but failed and failed.

Just a fucking simple, egg dish? Caleb really sucks at cooking!

"Stop cooking, will you?" sambit ni Gord sa kaibigan ng muli na naman itong kukuha ng itlog, and as far as he can see, that's the last egg, Caleb was about to waste.

"Fine!" walang nagawa si Caleb kundi ang umalis na lang sa kaniyang kusina at talagang kung hindi ay baka doon pa siya mag-alburoto. Masunog pa niya ang buong kusina na 'yon.

Ngayon tinatanong niya ang sarili, bakit nga ulit siya nagpalagay ng kusina? What's use for?

"I'll cook for you, just tell me where he is." it sounded like an offer to Caleb or something.

Caleb just blew a loud breath.. Actually, he has no intention to keep that from his bestfriend,Gord. Sasabihin naman niya at ikuk'wento pa nga niya dito ang totoong nangyare, but since nag-offer itong magluto para sa kaniya, then, it's a deal.

"Then cook, i'll tell you later." Caleb said with the smile on her lips.

Napairap na lamang si Gord sa kawalan at sinimulang ipagluto ang kaniyang kaibigan, just to know what was really happening.

Nilinis niya ang mga kinalat ni Caleb sa kusina, pagkatapos ay sinimulan na niyang magluto.

A simple food that can make Caleb sing even a bahay kubo song.

He took 10 minutes or so hanggang sa matapos. Agad niya itong inilagay sa lamesa kung saan naroon si Caleb naghihintay sa darating na pagkain.

"Now talk!" Gord said.

"Let me taste it first." And Caleb taste it.. the moment food enter his tongue, mabilis ang naging pagkunot ng kaniyang noo at nailuwa niya ang pagkain. "Fuck, Gord! What the fuck is that?" hindi maipinta ang mukha ni Caleb na mabilis tumayo at nagtungo sa kusina upang magmumog.

"Why?" tanong ni Gord na hindi maintindihan ang inasal ng kaibigan.

"Why?!" Caleb said sarcastically, "Tinatanong mopa talaga kung bakit? Are you pranking me?" hindi galit si Caleb, talagang iritado lamang siya sa lasa ng pagkaing niluto ni Gord. Imagine, a mouth full pa 'yung sinubo niya, because he is expecting, a good and so delicious food.

Hindi makuha ni Gord ang ibig sabihin ng kaibigan. "Why would i do that, Caleb? Ano bang meron?"

"Taste your food, para malaman mo!"

Malaki parin ang pagkakakunot ng noo ni Gord. Tinikman niya ang niluto.. "masarap naman ito ah," and to his surprise, muntik ng humiwalay ang kaniyang kaluluwa sa sariling katawan. "Oh, shit!"

Just like what Caleb did, he rushed to the kitchen, spitted the food and washed his mouth.

Si Caleb ay natulala na lamang sa kaniyang nasaksihan, napakunot ang kaniyang noo. So, Gord wasn't pranking him? He didn't do it on purpose?
