My Love Is Stupid's

Chapter 37's

"You're almost out of time" he warned.

"You haven't tasted my food yet" Fara said as she thrust her spaghetti plate at Antonio.

Antonio shakes. "I don't have to feel it. I already know your homemade spaghetti isn't worth eating. Admit it, you don't have the talent to be a chef."

 

Fifth day

Fara makes pizza.

Antonio insinuated Fara. "Where did you learn to make pizza? What is from the book on how to make pizza for fools? you have no talent at all."

Slowly Antonio took Fara's pizza and threw it in the trash, without tasting it.

 

Sixth day.

By the sixth day, Fara was already tired, both physically and mentally. Rejection for the rejection of Antonio has broken his spirit. On the sixth day, Fara made the bolognese spaghetti she had made six days earlier. 

Antonio frowned when the spaghetti was in front of him. He took a fork and tasted it. When he put his fork back down, he looked at Fara with dislike. Not long after, the fate of the spaghetti bolognesnya already in the trash.

"Why?" fara protests. "I made it exactly the same as yours. It even feels the same."

"Right," said Antonio unequivocally. "You made it exactly the same as I did. Can you just be a copycat? You don't have creativity. As I said before over and over again, you have no talent. You better give up tomorrow and get your stuff done."

Fortunately, Maya quickly overcame it. He immediately apologized, along with Fara, and gave free food to the customer.

Looking at all that from the kitchen window, Antonio just snorted. As Fara took the next order from the kitchen, Antonio said again, "How can you possibly be a great chef, if you can't do your current job properly?"

Fara apologized.

"Go home!" yelled Antonio, "you'll only add to the mess if you stay here."

Maya sees Fara's pale face out of the kitchen door. He took a deep breath and then approached Fara. "Antonio scolding you again?" Fara nodded.

"But this time he was right. You better get home to rest. You're really exhausted." Maya patted Fara's shoulder slowly. "Fatigured servants cannot work to their full potential. You better not come in this afternoon. You really need a break." Fara nodded.

Before Fara left to change her uniform, Maya said again, “Fara. I want you to know that these few days I fully support you. Never before has anyone dared to go against Antonio like you. So, go home, get some rest, and tomorrow surprise Antonio with your food."

Fara smiled. " Thank you for the support, ma'am."

Upon arriving home, Fara headed for the kitchen. He can't rest. He started cooking again. A few hours later, fifteen dishes that began to feel cold were around. None of the fifteen plates could satisfy his tongue______let alone Antonio.

He sat on the kitchen floor and cried. Body's exhausted. He had no energy to cook anymore. When mom came home the next night, she saw her daughter was fast asleep in her room.

Mama rubbed Fara's forehead gently. She knew her daughter had been working non-stop the past week. His daughter covered him while turning off the room lights.

When Fara woke up again, it was already dark. He saw a wall clock in his room. At 22:00. "Oh no," he lamented in his heart. (i must have fallen asleep)

He rushed to the kitchen and started cooking again. No matter how hard he tried, the results were still not satisfactory.
