Story of My Life [Hiatus]

Love? Its just the beginning!

28thFeb, 7.45pm at Home.

Its been for months. No, its just for weeks. Impy always been in a group with all the 7 girls not including myself. From her lips gestures and her eyes that looking me everytime she talk, definitely she talks about me. She's still chatting with An. I don't know what they're talking about but I heard that An treat her just a little sister. Even he called her Sis for Sister. I never treat the boys as my own brother and I don't call them bro.

Good news is An already rare to text with her anymore.

A backstabber. I never backstab you Impy. You're playing a game for us and I don't join it. Thanks, a lot to you Impy.

"Bella? Hey. I want you to choose this. Berry or Fruit?" his text notification ringing my thoughts to be awake.

"Berry. I love berry" Yeap true. However berry here is hard to find. It does exist in my country but only in the specific market and its quite expensive.

"I'm in the market so I think that I want to buy something to you. Thats why I want to ask you. Anything else?" he asked.

"Well. I don't want you to pay more buying for me An. Its okay." I replied while eating chocolate cookies that I've made.

"Alright Bella. I will text you when I returned to home soon. I love you♥" he responded.

"Okay An. I love you too♥" I keep aside my phone and enjoying the taste of my cookies that I've made.

2.00pm at Home.

"Bella. I have to go to the theraphy now. Maybe I will buy for you if you need something" Mom suggest. She's just having theraphy for relaxing her body. Surprisingly, a patient of Stage 3 cancer has freed from the cancer from that theraphy. The cancer is gone and she's normal. I did go to that theraphy. Its cozy and comfortable.

"Well. Buy a chocolate or ice cream for me Mom. If you can, buy a coffee latte from the cafe. I will pay back after you returned Mom." I said while hugging myself, feeling the wool of my sweater.

"Sure Bella. Anything for you." she said and goes outside.

I went to the kitchen because I'm hungry. I open the door of the refrigerator to see anything that I can eat. Nothing. Its just full of groceries. I closed it. I scan around the kitchen. I saw flour, eggs, cocoa powder, butter. Perhaps I can bake something like..cookies!

I switched on my phone and looked up for the chocolate cookie recipes. I found one. I can't scale by cup measurement so I find the grams measurement.

I took out one by one all of the ingredients after I stand my phone onto a green dinosaur phone stand.

All purpose flour. Unsalted butter stick. Eggs. Unsweetened ocoa powder. Bar of c mlik chocolate baking. I don't have a light brown sugar so I use the sugar that Mom always used. Baking powder. And Vanilla extract. I'm ready! Now for the measurements.

"255g of butter?" as I read the recipe one by one again. This butter stick is 250g. I've to find another butter. I found one but its salted butter. Nah just another 5g then its enough, so i took and add the salted butter to the bowl of unsalted butter.

2 eggs. 60g of unsweetened cocoa powder.

200g of Sugar and 215g of light brown sugar.

Hm. I don't wanna ruined my plan so I decide using sugar for 300g. Perhaps science can save this cookies.

I used a teaspoon of vanilla extract and baking powder.

350g of all purpose flour.

Lastly, 340g of milk chocolate chunks.

"Preheat oven to 350°F. Then, line two baking sheets with parchment paper." I walked to the oven and switch on and turn the pointer to 350°F. Then returned to read the next one.

"Add butter and sugars to a large bowl, turn a hand mixer to medium speed and beat until creamy, light and fluffy." Sigh. The mixer. Where I can found it? I search in the somewhere around the kitchen. I found a medium size of mixer so I took it.

"Add one egg, then turn mixer to medium and beat until well incorporated. Add the second egg as well as the vanilla extract and beat until they are well incorporated." I reread again, slowly. I nearly make my eyes crossed when reading this part. As I understand after reading 5times, I finally can follow the instruction.

"In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and the salt with a whisk. Whisk at least 6 to 10 times" I combine all the dry ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk for 2mins. This is easy.

"With the hand mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. The cookie batter will become very thick. You only need to mix until everything has combined." Another long instruction. Well, okay Ma'am.

"Then, use a large knife to chop the chocolate into small chunks. Add the chocolate to the batter then use a spoon or spatula to stir in the chocolate." I take a knife and chop the chocolate. Its hard chopping this milk chocolate. Its take 10mins. Phew.

"Drop cookie dough by rounded tablespoonfulls onto baking sheets (or use a medium cookie scoop). Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until the cookies have puffed a little and the tops are dry. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely."  its takes time for me for this part. 12min to make a shape of a round cookie.

After I done, I pun it in the oven and let the oven continue for the last processs while I'm wash the dishes.

I hear a car engine outside house. Its Mom. I quickly finish washing the dishes before Mom goes inside.

"Bella. Mom is home now. What smell is this?" I hear her voice from the front door as she walks to the kitchen.

"Oh hey Mom. I just bake the cookies." I said truthly. She's setting down my coffee latte on the table.

"Ohh okay. Here, your latte" I took my latte and take a sip. Amazing taste.

"Thanks Mom. Uhh let me know if the cookies is done later." I said before I went to my bedroom.

Gladly, I don't leave a mess in the kitchen just now or I will get scold by Mom.

I continued my night chatting with An until the midnight . Just talking about random stuff like sharing songs, and our favourites and dislikes.

I don't know what's next in the future, but I hope its better than before. My feelings towards him growing bigger and spread wider. Does my heart had found the real one? If it does,..

Will you be the last one for me?
