Is it love

I still can't believe that the person whom I love was living with me.

Even in my wildest dreams I never imagined that it was a surprise at first but then somehow I made myself believe that reality.

Not only I was living with her, but on the first day, I had to cook for her.

I asked Ana for dinner, firstly she rejected but then somehow she agreed.

I never knew she was wobbly, I guess after living with her I will get to know more about her.

Maybe I'll get to know about her unseen side, thinking that I went to buy the groceries for dinner.

I rushed to the market, in my mind I thought I would make something fancy but then I remembered she said don't over do it so I thought I would make something which is easy and quick to cook but is well balanced in nutrition and will taste good.

In my mind, it was clear that I would make Sesame Chicken with Broccoli rice.

Every part of the green cruciferous vegetable — from stem to florets — gets used in this protein-packed chicken and broccoli dish. The stems become no-carb rice, and florets are gently steamed.

So I searched all the grocery stores in the neighborhood for some fresh chicken breasts and broccoli for the dish.

When I returned back home I immediately started the preparation for cooking.

I washed the veggies thoroughly and cooked chicken. For that, I rubbed the chicken with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and placed it over medium heat skillet. I then garnished it with sesame seeds.

It was a simple and fast way to cook chicken breast, I then put nicely cooked and juicy chicken breast over broccoli rice.

The dinner was ready and I was excited to take Ana's review over this.

I called Ana and Sally for dinner because it was already 8:00.

They came downstairs and sat on the chair, Sally was really excited and she said,

" Big Bro do you know how to cook?

I thought boys don't know how to cook, and girls always do all cooking."

I replied, " No Sally, anyone can learn to do anything they want, it's not like cooking is for girls and boxing is for boys."

She then said, " Okay bro, but can you teach sis Ana how to cook, because your dish looks very tasty and she is very bad at cooking.

When mom says sis Ana to cook, she always burns the food.

Hehehe"

"What are you saying Sally, eat the food.

And don't talk while eating "

Ana said that in embarrassment.

I started laughing hearing that and when Ana saw me she got a little mad, she pouted and turned her face away from me.

I then said, "Ana why don't you eat dinner, it's getting cold."

She was still pouting but then she took the spoon, cut a perfect size chicken piece for the spoon with some rice and took her first bite.

Sally also took her first bite.

With each bite juices of the perfectly cooked chicken exploded in their mouth.

The crispy texture of broccoli and juicy taste of chicken together created a savory and sensual taste experience.

" It's really good, " both of them said that in unison.

" I never expected this to taste that good," she said that while one hand on her face while closing her eyes and savoring the flavor.

It was not gourmet food but they still liked the food so I was relieved.

After eating the food, Ana took Sally in her room to sleep. She then came down and said I'll help you with cleaning dishes.

I said to her, there is no need but she then said it was nothing compared to what your family is doing for us.

She helped me in washing dishes and we were all alone in the kitchen.

I was started getting nervous again.

I didn't know why I always got nervous when we were alone.

But then she suddenly said,

" Can you teach me cooking, after eating that I can tell how bad cook I am."

I was happy that she liked my cooking,

" Don't worry I'll teach you cooking, we together can cook on weekends and I'll guide you, next week we can cook fish and chips. " I replied her.

"That's great," she said that and somehow she looked very happy.

She then went to her room.

I also cleaned the kitchen and went back to my room.

Our mother came back at 10:30 and all of us were sleeping. My mom had a spare key for the house, so she and Mrs. Ema didn't disturb us and went straight to bed.

At midnight I woke up for the loo, I went to the toilet relived myself and as I was coming back I heard noise coming from the kitchen.

I was seriously terrified, I thought mom might be in the kitchen so I went to the kitchen there what I saw paralyzed me for a few seconds. I was petrified and shouted

" Aaaaaa...

green ghost! green ghost!"

But then that thin green ghost arranged his hair and said

" It's me you idiot.

Don't shout, our moms are sleeping. "

She was Ana, she was wearing some kind of green face mask. From sleeping her hair was tangled and when I saw all these features in dark I thought she was some kind of ghost.

She fixed her hair and washed her face mask, now I could easily see her glowing skin in dark.

She said " You are such a coward, you always act all high and mighty in college but at home, you are just little kid who gets afraid of the dark. "

Her tone was bossy, l think she was mad because I called her Green Ghost.

" You are the same, at college you look so sophisticated and aesthetic but at home, you just try to scare others by wearing a weird green mask."

She was blushing but was a little mad at the same time, she then ran towards her room saying

" You are an Idiot!"

I never knew she was like that, maybe girls take care of their face by applying these things but I never imagined Ana would be like that. Yet again I got to see her hidden side, I was happy and went to sleep thinking about her .
