Ch. 58IN THE KITCHEN


Amelie and I were asked by mom to wait in the family room. While she's cooking for dinner.

"Where is Sebastian? I haven't seen him?"I'm trying to find Sebastian figure that turns nosy and ignorant brother.

"I don't know, El, Where Is he? "Amelie followed me, looking for her brother," i think it's better he was not here, it's feel so calm, safe and peace ..."she said and laughed.

I think it's only natural that Amelie feels that way, it's clear that she and Sebastian see each other almost every day. Unlike me, who met Sebastian only because there is a need for something. Although his figure is nosy and annoying, I can see that Sebastian is an older brother who loves his sister and mother very much.

"Amelie ..."I called slowly.

Amelie, who was busy sitting lying down while eating chips that had been brought by one of the household assistants, turned her head.

"Yes, El?"

"Can I go to the kitchen?"I asked.

Amelie looked at me in surprise."What in the earth, you looking at the kitchen?"

"Um, that ... I actually like cooking. So, I was wondering what's the thing your mom would cook. Can I?"

Amelie then patted her forehead,"Oh my Gosh! Isn't that wrong, El? You look like kind of fashionable and stylish, and you've got interested at cooking? Seriously?"

"Seriously, what does cooking have to do with my appearance? I've been living alone for a long time and I learn how to cook by myself. Maybe that's one of the reasons I love to cook."

Amelie listened to my explanation while continuing not to stop eating,"oooh, so it turns out, the reason. Okay then, if you really want to see my mother while cooking, you just go out of the hallway on the right," Amelie pointed to the hallway on the right side of the room,"then you just walk straight until you get at the end. Well, at the end there are two lanes,you just turn to the left. There is a main kitchen that is used for cooking."

I nodded and smiled. Can't wait to get to the kitchen soon.

"Oh yeah, El ... if Mom ask about what I'm doing, please don't tell her what I'm doing right now. Okay El? Just tell her, i've been busy studying."

"Uhm, okay. I'll tell your mother, just as you asked. Well then ... I'll go to the kitchen, now."

"Be careful not to get upset if you are asked to help cook. Don't blame me! I gave you a warning."Amelie laughed.

"Ha ha ha, yes, it doesn't matter, it's my goal to help your mother cook."
I laughed along.

Walking into the kitchen alone made me freely observe every detail of the interior design of Amelie and Sebastian's House. Their house is large enough to accommodate a family with two children.

My steps stopped at a picture frame mounted on the wall of the hallway that I was browsing. The family photo has a fairly large size, with a gold frame that seems luxurious. The picture frame also looks filled with spiral-shaped carvings of various twisted flowers are very beautiful. Makes me tempted to stop and observe who the figure is in that fancy frame. Apparently, it was a family photo. There was his mother and also his father. It must be the complete arrangement of Sebastian and Amelie's big family formation.

I carefully observed the details of the figure in the frame. Sebastian looks very handsome and charming with a neat suit. Amelie and her mother are no less charming. Then, my eyes stopped on one person, he was a big master figure who became one of the regular customers in Wonderland. Honestly, this is my first time seeing that figure. In all this time, I have never met him in person.

Now I know, where did Sebastian get such a proportional body shape. Apparently, it was a blend of his father's body shape and his mother's charming facial lines.

My focus on the family photo was split as I breathed in the fragrant aroma of spices from the direction of the kitchen.

Oh, my God, I almost forgot what I was walking down this hallway for. I'm going to the kitchen. Why stay here. I continued walking towards the kitchen.

Soon it seemed like I was about to arrive in the kitchen, I could be sure that I was not mistaken or stray into another room. Because in front of me, I could hear the sound of various kitchen utensils clashing with each other. Plus, I can smell the delicious food.

"Excuse me ..."I knocked on the door of a wide open room. Some of the people inside immediately turned their heads, "is there anything i can help you with?"one of the maids came up to me, who I'm sure was a kitchen assistant, she walked quickly up to me.

"I'm looking for Amelie's Mother," I said kindly.

"Who are you looking for? Miss Amelie's mother? Great lady?" She even asked again.

I put on a sweet smile again, "that's right. Is she busy?"I asked, looking around the kitchen.

"Yes, you right, she is cooking."

"Who is it?"ask a voice, which I already know, it must have been Amelie's mother. "Ooh? El? Why Are You Here, El?"SHe said as she walked towards me.

"Um, that ... I'm trying to help you for cooking, can i?"I asked timidly.

"Oh my God El ... you're a guest, you shouldn't have to bother following the help."

"No, it's okay, I really like to cook. Um, that's one of my hobbies ..." I put my smile sincerely.

The middle-aged woman standing in front of me was stunned for a moment," your hobby is Cook?" then a quiet laugh rolled from her lips, " oh my Gosh, this is the first time I've met Amelie's friend who has a hobby of cooking! Usually what I know, Friends of Amelie's age, if not a hobby of watching movie, shoping, clubing or sitting sweetly while playing cellphone .."

"Ehm, actually thats my hobby too anyway, but my hobby of cooking that I like the most," I said again.

"Really? Would you like to help with the cooking? Are you sure you want to help me here?"

"This is not coercion. I'm the one who want to helped cook. It's okay, don't worry."I started to walk after Sebastian's mother who walked back to the middle of the kitchen room.

"Well, then, first thing you must know, El. This is the kitchen assistant who usually helps me cook. This is Lilian and This Is Jane."Mrs. Sebastian pointed to two women who were busy with some containers containing vegetables and various spices.

"Hello, My Name Is Jane," she is the one who greeted me at the door.

"Nice to meet you, Jane. Glad to know you."I welcome her helping hand.

"I'm Lilian. Nice to meet you, miss. It's nice to be able to help cook with such a beautiful lady."Lilian looked at my face fixedly. Makes me tickle myself.

"So El, the plan I want to cook Sebastian's favorite menu. He is a big fan of dishes that taste a bit spicy, unfortunately Amelie is not allowed to eat spicy food, for that we will cook a menu for Amelie separately."Sebastian's mother explained briefly.

Hmm, if only, her mother knew, that Amelie sometimes still loves to eat spicy food when she outside.
