A Sinful Pleasure (Island Of Sin #2)

5

Hindi ko alam kung anong ang gagawin. I spend my time this fast few days about the things I need to do so that Raven will forgive me. That's why I call my friend in Manila. She's already twenty and she's more mature than my other friends.

"Shian, ano ba ang gagawin 'pag galit ang isang lalaki?"

"April, ikaw ba talaga 'to? Kailan kapa nag-isip kung ano ang gagawin kapag galit ang isang lalaki?" Shian laugh like I did something impossible.

"Shut up, Shian! Just answer me."

"I just can't believe this. Bilhan mo ng damit, ng sapatos o relo bilang peace offering. Things like that."

Thinking about what she suggest, I shook my head. I don't think Raven will like that. He's not like that. And I think that he has already has that things. Sobrang yaman nila. At baka mas magalit 'yon. .

"Aside from that."

"Bakit, hindi ba 'yon pwede? Alangan naman bulaklak diba. But mostly nilalambing lang but in your case, bilhan mo nalang ng gamit."

"No Shian. He's already... Uhmmm... mature. I don't think he like such things as peace offering."

"Sino ba kasi 'yan? Mukhang espesyal na espesyal ng dating. Bagong boyfriend mo 'yan?"

"Of course not! Just suggest another!" medyo tumaas ang boses ko. Imagining Raven as my boyfriend is a big sin. He's going to be brother... Basta. It's a sin!

"If he's mature, you can cook him. Siguro ay mas magugustuhan niya 'yon."

What she suggest is more impossible. I think that Raven will like that. But the problem is that I don't know how to cook. Wala akong alam sa kusina.

And dad didn't let me do things like that. And I don't like that, too.

Shian just suggested that I'll just search in internet. Mas marami daw videos doon. But I think first what should I cook. Kaya ang naisip ko ay gumawa lang na Maja blanca.

When I search how to do it, simple and easy. I think I can do it rightly. Para kasing walang kahirap hirap gawin. Tumayo ako at pumunta sa kusina. Mabuti nalang at mayroon silang mga sangkap.

At mas maganda daw kung ang gagamitin ay fresh coconut milk. That's why I commanded one of their worker to get me one.

"Ito mo ma'am. Sakto na po ba 'to?"

The worker show me the coconut fruit. I just nodded at him.

"Uhmm. Nakita niyo po ba si... Raven?"

"Umalis po kanina. Siguro ay iicheck ang negosyo nila."

"Thanks," the worker just smile.

Mas okay 'yon para makapaghanda ako ng mas matagal. At para pagdating niya ay tapos ko ng gawin. I smile while looking at the ingredients. Everything is ready.

I'm confident that Raven will like what I will make. Siguro naman ay talagang maiimpress na siya sa akin nito. Maybe after he will taste this, he will forgive me. Plus he will be impress because I can make a tasty Maja Blanca.

I mix the coconut cream and cornstarch together with the creamed corn in a saucepan. I added three cups of sugar. I think that the sweeter, the tastier. I'm smiling while stirring it. The video said that I'll do it continuesky until it thickens.

"Miss April, ano po Ang ginagawa niyo?" Lily asked. She come closer and watch I'm doing.

I smile at her proudly.

"I'm making a simple Maja Blanca, Lily."

Para siyang hindi makapakali habang nakatingin sa akin.
