Ella in the kitchen was searching for something to cook, she wanted to make something special for breakfast for Cesar.
However, while she was searching, she was deterred, she couldn't find anything to cook even after looking through all the emergency ration cartons, she felt disappointed upon realising that there was nothing to cook in the kitchen, they were out of groceries and other basic commodities and this made Ella disheartened and now she couldn't cook anything for breakfast.
Ella then suddenly remembered about the eggs and wheat bread Cesar brought last night. She directly went to the fridge to see whether or not there were enough eggs and bread slices——opening the fridge, she took a glance inside the almost empty fridge.
Five to six bread slices were left in the packet and then when she searched for eggs she realised that she cooked most of them while keeping the rest in the emergency ration carton.
She only keto two of them in the carton thinking that she will buy more after getting her salary—— and those two eggs were used up in making scrambled eggs last night for Amelia.
She took the packet of bread and closed the fridge disappointingly and now she was thinking about what could she make now from those bread but just as she was closing the door her eyes fell on the bottom of the fridge where she has kept a small box.
Ella hastily picked it up and found that she has managed to save four eggs, two of them were rotten but still ——She was extremely delighted!
She picked up two eggs and decided to make a special omelette for Cesar for the breakfast, she quickly took out black pepper, salt from the shelve and a tomato from the fridge, she beat those two eggs with a fork in the bowl and added black pepper and salt in it, she finely whisked them together, before adding chopped tomato.
As she poured the mix into the pan the sizzling smell spread all over the house. While she was cooking the omelette Amelia woke up from her sleep after smelling the scent of something delicious cooking.
Amelia got up from her bed and followed that smell to the kitchen, when she saw her mother cooking an omelette, Amelia's mouth started to water.
The moment she saw Ella flipping the omelette, Amelia looked at it without even blinking her eyes once. She thought that the omelette was something that her mother was making for her and she felt excited just thinking about it!
While Ella was cooking the omelette her sight caught Amelia standing at the door of the kitchen, staring at her cooking the omelette.
"Oh! Amelia, you woke up? Good Morning," Ella greeted her.
"Good Morning Mum!" Amelia greeted back and then asked, "Well mum the omelette looks delicious but where do you get the eggs I thought that we only had two left that you used up to make scrambled for me last night."
Ella answered, "Yeah you are right at first I also thought that there were no more eggs but when I saw clearly in the fridge there were two eggs down the side of the fridge."
Amelia said, "Well, that's great mum I am so glad to know that there were two eggs left in the fridge if there were no eggs then how could you make this such a delicious omelette for me."
Ella was stunned after she heard that from Amelia, her hands stopped while cooking the omelette. She wasn't expecting this to happen, she was cooking the omelette for Cesar and she felt joyous about it but when she got to know that Amelia was thinking that she had made this omelette for her, her joyous mood turned into a concern.
Ella was confused as she couldn't understand what to do and what to say at that moment. She couldn't tell Amelia that she cooked this omelette for Cesar if she said then, Amelia would be disheartened by it but if she doesn't then she had to give the omelette to Amelia and Ella doesn't want Cesar to stay hungry and go to school with an empty stomach.
"Mum! if the smell is so delicious then how delicious it will taste I am so excited to eat that omelette, just serve me the omelette please, I didn't eat much last night and I am hungry." Amelia expressed her excitement about the omelette and when Ella saw the happiness on her face she couldn't dare to tell that the omelette was not for her
But when she thought about how her son hasn't eaten anything since yesterday, Ella somehow built her courage and decided to tell her daughter, "Amelia this omelette is....." Ella began when Cesar came into the kitchen and before she could even complete her sentence Cesar jumped into the conversation and said, "Amelia I think you don't care about yourself at all."
Amelia then asked with a bemused expression, "And why do you think that?"
Cesar then teased his sister, "Mum cooked this delicious omelette for you and you are going to eat it without brushing your teeth, It's so disgusting, go first brush your teeth, take a bath and then you can enjoy your omelette."
Amelia's face flushed before she answered," Shut up I have already brushed up my teeth."
Cesar raised a brow and then said, "Oh really! but I saw you coming straight from your room, you never went to the bathroom before coming here."
Amelia got irritated when Cesar caught her lies then she scoffed at him."YEAH OK! I NEVER BRUSHED MY TEETH SO?"
When Ella heard Amelia haven't brushed her teeth, she hurriedly sent Amelia to go and brush her teeth and Amelia unwillingly obeyed her mom's order, before going to the bathroom she lightly punched Cesar's left arm and Cesar chuckled at it.
After Amelia went to the bathroom Ella tried to explain the situation she was in with an awkward expression, "Cesar I made this omelette for you but Amelia came here before you and she immediately thought that I made it for her, I am so sorry I couldn't tell her because she was so excited." Ella was explaining everything to Cesar without taking a breath.
Cesar calm her down and said, "Mum! you don't have to be sorry instead you did the right job for not letting her know that this omelette is not for her."
Ella was amazed that her son appreciated her for not telling the truth when Cesar continued, "Mum! I know that you made this omelette for me and I am glad that you made me a tasty omelette but more than me Amelia needs it."
"But this is only one omelette and if I gave this to then what will you eat?" Ella was very concerned about this, if she couldn't even take care of her children what kind of mother will she be?
Cesar said nothing, he picked out a slice of bread from the packet and ate it and then drank a glass of water and said, "Done I had my breakfast and now my stomach is full."
Ella rebuked, "What are you saying? Cesar, do you think I am mad, you had nothing last night and now you are saying eating just one slice of bread and drinking some water is enough for you. How can you spend your whole day?"
"Mum! Mum! not for the whole day when I will return from school you will bring the groceries and make something for dinner until then I will manage you don't worry. Ok, now I am getting late for school I have to leave now. Love you, mom!"
Ella tried to stop Cesar but he left the home without giving her a chance to stop him.
