"Riza! Have you seen my journal? I can't find it! It has all the patients records!" Isaiah yelled to me from the bedroom. I was in the kitchen fixing breakfast which was something that I was still learning how to do, and Isaiah was learning how to eat. I shifted my Ishvarlan style dress, as the sleeves that were overly large often tried to get in the food.
"I haven't seen any of your medical records! Now hurry up or your going to be late!" I called back up the stairs. It wasn't my responsibility to keep up with the records, after all, even if they were sitting on the kitchen table. I then felt lips against my neck as he told me that he found it, I turned my head to the side as he did that. Though I elbowed him in the ribs, told him that I was cooking, well burning, breakfast.
"Go, Go, Go! sit, before, your breakfast catches on fire." I commanded him in a playful voice. He laughed but obeyed. When I finally finished breakfast, I sat it down in front of him and he ate it. Grudgingly at first but realizing which was better, bad food, or sleeping on the couch. He ate it and rather quickly because he was running late. He kissed my cheek grabbed his journal and bag and ran out the door, I smiled and went back to washing dishes. I put on my sari and walked out the door after grabbing my wallet, we needed groceries. I went to the market, and I ran into one of the other women who I had befriended in the last three months.
"Akira! It is good to see you again!" I greeted her as I walked up the steps into the market.
"Yes Riza it is good to see you again as well. How is your husband?" Akira responded.
"He is fine, his medical practice is coming along nicely, and he is even learning to eat my food." I added jokingly, Akira, taught me how to make some of the traditional foods for the area, she has been very helpful to me. She to has just been married. Her husband is a temple official and he is barely home. They were an arranged marriage, and they rather, dislike each other.
"Riza, what did you burn this time?" She laughed.
"Nothing," feigning innocence. She laughed at this too,
"So what are you here for today? I may be able to help you cook it." She joked. I laughed just like always. We walked further into the market and bought want we needed, we walked to my house and she was going to show me how to make, what she called jalebi, which is sweet fried batter. However she giggled and said
"I will only teach you to make this if you teach me how to make, what you called, spaghetti." We agreed and she went and showed me how to cook the sweet batter.
"I got it! Now let me show you how to make my specialty. Spaghetti" She giggled once again and agreed. When we were done doing that and cleaning up she took the Spaghetti home and I kept the jalebi. When Isaiah came home he looked at me, finishing the kitchen cleaning, he smiled.
"So, what of your wonderful meals did you fix tonight." Trying to sound truthful about the cooking.
"Akira, came by, she taught me how to fix what was it called? Oh that's right, jalebi?"
"That is always good. I can make that you know,"
"Hey don't get smart with me Mr. Riaka or you are so sleeping on the couch." I laughed pointing a spoon at him. He smiled and grabbed my hips, pulled me closer, and whispered,
"Is that so?" Smirked and kissed me. He picked me up, bridal style, and took me to the bedroom and shut the door.
