While Michael and Mom Mj were still talking, suddenly a phone on the table near Michael rang. It was KM's phone ringing. Michael happened to be able to glance on the name and picture of the caller and it's from a guy named Rain. At this knowing that KM has other suitors, he felt a little hurt in his heart. Hurt... Is he jealous? Hmm that needs to be discovered yet. Hiding his hurt feelings, and since Mj was busy talking with him, he then touched Mj's forearm to catch her attention and said, "Auntie, I think KM got a call." pointing his lips on the phone at the table.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't noticed it since I was focus on what we were talking. Anyway, I'll hand it over to her and please excuse me." smiled Mj and at the same time, she took the phone with her and went to the kitchen where KM was cooking. Michael just nodded in smile and waited.
Noticing that her Mom Mj was approaching to her, she exclaimed, "Mom, what's up?"
"You got a call here. From the guy named Rain. I figured you wanna answer him?" Mj gave the phone to KM.
"Okay I'll get it but only quick then. Thanks Mom."
Mj then nodded and left the kitchen. she then went back to Michael.
KM tapped her phone and answered the videocall.
"Hi Rain, what's up?"
"Hi, KM, how are you? Are you busy?"
"Oh, I'm fine thanks. Right now I'm a little bit busy since I'm finishing up my cooking for our lunch."
"Oh, sorry, my bad. I'm disrupting you. Bad timing..." pouted Rain.
"Oh no, you're not disrupting me. I'm about to be finished cooking and it will be served soon. Would you wanna watch?" smiled KM.
"Yeah, why not? What are you cooking then?" smiled Rain.
"Chicken cordon blue, crab & corn soup, and beef tenderloin tips. Here, let me show you." KM aimed her phone at the dishes she's cooking and about to finish.
"Wow, it must taste good. As I see it looks good. I think you're going to be a good cook." Rain continued to smile.
"No, I'm just a newbie here. But I'm learning," humbled KM.
"Hmm, I can't wait to taste it all watching you cooking makes me hungry. hehehehe," laughed Rain.
"Yeah. By the way, why have you called? Anything important?"
"Hmm I was wondering if we could have a date?" Rain, direct to the point.
"A date? You're countries away from me, you know," pouted KM.
"So what? I can travel there to your country if you'd like, or we can travel together to a certain country you would like to go, or we could meet up? Which one would you like?"
Stunned at his persistency, KM replied, "Hmm let me think about it. Ask me again tomorrow at this time okay?"
"Okay then. I'll be waiting for your answer," smiled Rain.
"Okay Rain, I have to end this call as we are getting ready for our lunch. Thanks for the call," KM waved her goodbyes and Rain responded waving his hand too.
They both ended their call.
Little did she knew that Michael have overheard almost the last half of her videocall with Rain.
For Michael volunteered to help, after he was informed by Mj that the cooking was almost done. And upon hearing their conversations of Rain asking KM for a date, Michael once again felt hurt in his heart but tried to hide it himself and forced himself to smile, even if he's hurt deep inside.
"I am not giving up on you KM. I am not!" Michael told himself in his mind with a stern look in his face that KM noticed.
Upon noticing Michael's presence in the kitchen and his stern look face, KM was taken a back, and asked him,
"How long have you been here in the kitchen? And what's that kind of look in your face?"
"Oh. Not long." Michael tried to compulse himself and adjusted his facial expression into a calmer one.
"My facial expression is nothing. I'm just wondering what kind of dishes did you cooked? That's all!" Michael shrugged his shoulders then.
"Oh okay. Just taste it when we eat our lunch and tell me honestly whether you like it or not afterwards." KM felt relieved. She didn't want Michael to hear her conversations with other men as she don't want him to get jealous of them. Somehow, she felt that way of concern towards what could Michael possibly feel.
"Okay then, since you're done cooking, let me help you prepare the dishes to be served in the table," volunteered Michael.
"No, the maids can do that. You are our guest, you don't need to help serve it." KM attempted to stop Michael from serving the dishes.
"No. I can do it. And I insist to do it," Michael persisted.
"Okay, since you insisted, fine, help me. Here... be careful it's hot!" at the same time KM passed a big serving bowl filled with crab & corn soup...
