Frozen Soul Trapped In Box Of Love

"How possible I can cook good food despite I have no memories of the past? Maybe I was a chef in my previous life. Or maybe I have my own restaurant"

Aya hand is dancing while put the ingredient inside the pan. Its been awhile since the last time she using the stove.

"Or maybe you just a crazy woman who like talking by herself"

Aya take a glance to the man that crossed his arm while staring at me. He was currently leaning his body at the door and talking to her with his sarcastic tone.

"I am preparing food for the guest of honour?"

Leaning your body to the door while talking to me with sarcastic tone doesn't make you cool. But that sentence was only rephrase inside her head. She still need to keep her manner at least.

"Uncle tell me that you are very... nice young lady"

"Well I have a power of a mirror, I reflect the human in front of me"

For a person that talk with a sarcasm tone to someone he just meet? He suppose to be understand this sarcasm language. Aya turn the heat to the lower heat for her stew and take some mushroom and put into the pot.

"Ummm... I am probably to tall for you"

He put his hand inside his jeans pocket and he turn to walk away from the kitchen.

"That sharp tongue could really kill people just in one stabs"

After half an hour has passed, the meal for lunch is finally ready. Aya just staring at the food and wondering either to go and tell the foul-mouthed guy that the food was ready or maybe she could just left the food at the kitchen and run home.

"You know that staring at the food will never give you the answer"

His voice somehow ringing in Aya small ears. She was trying to not look at his face and just keep her straight face looking at the food.

"At least staring at food will not irritating my eyes"

She try to not answer with rude words, well at least it is not directly rude to his face.

"But it does make the stomach angry. Take everything to outside. I wanna eat at the balcony"

He left after that sarcastic tone. Aya stare at the man's back with empty mind before she finally let out a soft chuckle and talk with dry throat.

"Seriously, he could just ask it without that sarcastic tone. Why should he pick a fight? Where are we? At the boxing ring?"

Aya take the plate and walk to the balcony and put the empty plate in front of the unknown guest of honour of her today. He silently take some rice, and the spicy stew. He take a bite and then clear his throat.

"Well it is surprisingly to taste the food become like this..."

Aya rather to not look at his face, his voice alone already give her headache.

"Just eat it... Good or bad it only food to keep us alive"

"Well this food doesn't taste as nasty as your temper. So I assume it is a good to eat..."

Aya crossed her arm at her c.h.e.s.t. she watch the guy eating slowly. No expression to read and no emotion to feel. And those who hurt deeply inside will be too hard to be read. It is because they was worn out by the emotion and finally letting go everything about emotion to make sure the body survive in this world. That's why, those who deeply hurt would like a living body with no soul inside.

"Shorty... Do you know before serve the food you have to give the water first?"

And now she was wondering, this guys is too arrogant to become the 'living soulless body', maybe she was wrong. He is just some troublesome guy. Aya just nodded to her own thought but cannot stop her mouth from spit some words.

"Have you heard? Manner maketh man"

Aya walk to the kitchen, open the wood cabinet and take out the glass. She open the fridge and there was many different kind of beverage, there juices and coke. Then she realize she don't know what he want.

"I forgot to ask what water"

Aya turn around too fast, suddenly her leg felt light and the room is spinning around. Her body felt heavy and cold sweats running down at her neck. She grabbed the nearest thing her hand can touch. Surprisingly, the thing has reach her back and pulled her body closer.

"You should stop falling around like this"

Hearing his voice, Aya regained her strength and slowly push him to have a gap between their body. She shouldn't let him see her weak like this. He is gonna tease her like forever.

"Human will fall sick sometimes and weak unless you have super power like heroes does"

She want to get his nerves but her head was spinning like crazy.

"Have you notice, that I am older than you"

He still gripped her hand, firm but not to strong just enough strength to make sure her tiny body did not gonna fall again.

"Did I break any laws by not knowing that?"

Felt like her head being turned upside down and there is cold sweat running at her neck. Without any expression he let go Aya hand and take the glass, and get another one. He take out plain water from the fridge, pour into the glass and take Aya hand to his shoulder.

"It's not the law that's being offended but the manner"

He walk slowly, and Aya walk beside him. Insideher head, she was wonder why shoulder, he can put her hand at his arm. Didn't he realize she was shorter and smaller.

"If you fall, my arm can reflexes faster to hold you back"

He can read mind? Aya didn't reply to his words, but just walk beside him in silent.

"Sit, and drink this. And eat."

He take a plate from the kitchen, put the fried rice and salad into the plate. He place it in front of me. Without saying anything, I start to eat, we both eating silently while the sea waves become the background music.
