Bread, meat, and tofu— A short story

vol 1: eps 1

it was August 1999 when the weather was not so good, it rain  and cold. it wasn’t rainy days actually but that evening was different. heavy rain and cold wind as if it says “stay, dont go home, it’s rain outside.”. 

I wore my brown shirt, white jeans, and my fav shoes. the look was casual and simple to get along with the situation that evening. it was Saturday, first week of august 1999. the night was long but actually it did slip away in a glimpse of time. the song in the car made the evening even more alive and fun in the midst of the cold rain that left me feel like a dandelion. it was cold but somehow it felt warm just like the east wind. *east wind: blows grey mist and sends down cold rains upon the earth. i believe it wasn’t supposed to be raining but maybe the sky was just sending us a sign or a message. maybe we just didn’t know and still don’t know what it was. we were just guessing and will always keep guessing of what might come after. but after all, im just wishing you a happy life and good luck!

we don’t know what the future holds but whatever it is, i hope it is only joy…

notes: see you on some other eps and vol i guess

Cordelia it is

....
"Sometimes I regret it when I being open up to someone, you know?"
"Then why did you?"
"I dont know, maybe I feel like that person can be trusted or maybe deep down I want that person to be someone special whom I can trust??"
"How do you even define someone's trustworthy in the first place?"
"Well I don't know"
"Okay you dont know, that's stupid."
"Maybe I am?"
"You definitely are."
"Have you ever felt like you know a person's about to be someone special to you?"
"Like what?"
"Never mind."
"Ok you weird."
"Thanks, Ok random question, what's your fav season?"
"Winter, you?"
"Fall."
"Why?"
"I dont know, maybe cuz it has something to do with falling in love like love love. You know what I mean?"
"Hm maybe yes maybe no i dont know"
"What's love exactly, anyway?"
"Idk my mama never told me also it's a lie I think"
"Why'd you think like that?"
"Idk cuz people change, feeling fades????"
"Interesting, never thought that way."
"Then how you define about it?"
"Well one thing I know, it's gonna break you at some point."
"Which point?"
"Idk dont ask me."
"Is it like what people said as broken heart?"
"Maybe."
"Idk either."
"Anyway, can someone unlove someone?"
"Maybe yes maybe no, idk."
"Ok."
"Ok."
"But u know u can't forget someone, right?"
"I do."
"Why can't we?"
"Idk maybe cuz memories stay and people don't?"

"So anyway, how do they call you?"
"It's Cordelia. What's your name?"
"I don't have a name."


P.s. it's from Cordelia PoV anyway:) also about the other character's name, it's your guess haha

Hey, it's me, Rocket.

I woke up earlier that day. First day of spring break. I was on my way running and jogging around. I opened the door and I stepped on something, kind of paper(?) I was not sure. I picked up that thing, a letter, apparently. Someone has put in under my dorm door. I have no idea who's that from. I took it, my hands shaking. I stepped back, brought it on to my desk.  A letter sealed neatly with no name on the envelope and no receiver name on it. I started open the letter slowly, so I wont disturb my roomate, my best friend, who's still asleep. I began read the letter which clearly from Mr/Mrs/Ms Anonymous and delivered for me(?) Well I wasnt really read the letter. At first I saw rocket, aurora borealis, celestial, and other astronomy-ish words. The handwriting wasn't so good to be honest yet still neat and read-able(?) This might a random letter about astronomy phenomenon, I thought, since few days ago was a solar eclipse, which was amazing. Here is what the letter says:

"Hey Venus! It's me, Rocket. How are you? Hope you are good. Wonder if I might scared you bc of this odd letter. I just wanna say thank you, for all your support you've given to me. Well, not only me I guess, since you are very kind, nice, and generous to all earthlingers:) it's a pleasure to meet you, a beautiful young woman just like aurora borealis, a rare one with only goodness inside. Im off tomorrow, to my dream place, on my way chasing my greatest desire. Become the first human being to stay in next door planet for awhile, it's not so far away, we're still on the same galaxy, don't worry about me, I'll be okay. Everything's gonna be alright, I promise. I'll send you how's earth actually looks alike from here, must be beautiful. I'll always watch you anyway, just look above you, I'll be right there, on your south side sky from your dorm window. I'll be there, above the sky, well on the same sky:) ...be good, Venus. I'll be back soon and I hope to see you on earth. 

-Rocket-"

My cheeks wet, right after I finished read the letter. He said he's my rocket. I couldn't speak. His words was so sincere. I felt like something hit my chest. I barely breath. All I could say is good bye Rocket, Im gonna be okay, don't worry about me. I hope to see you here. I whispered. I sobbed. I wiped my tears with my hands shaking. Worried I couldn't see him again. But I do believe we will meet again, he has made his promise.

See you, Rocket.

Morning chit chat between a dad and his daughter

Background and location: On one shining morning in the edge of a town, not so far away from the market, a girl sat down in the kitchen with her dad while her mum still busy cooking and prepare breakfast. Dad was enjoying his coffee. His daughter sat on his lap anyway. Daughter drank a cup of tea (sweet tea; for detail). 

"Dad may I ask you something?" She said as she drank her tea

Then her dad answer; "ask away my sweetie, ask away."

"What is 'real world', dad? Is it different from mine? Why do I don't know if there's an other world out there, maybe? Is it nice to live in real world, dad? Does other people know it already, dad, or is it just me who have no idea about the real world?"

"Oh sweetie, such a hard question to answer." Her dad said

"So neither of us know about the real world? i guess." The little girl (about 7 years old) said as she approach her mum that handed her a full plate of toast. 

"Well, my dear. Real world is just same as our, dear, the earth. It's always nice regardless where we live or who we are, as long as we can enjoy our life, no matter where we live, we could always be happy as well. Listen, sweetie, sometimes things are hard and far away from our expectation and sometimes thing disapoint us. That's life, my dear. Maybe you can relate it when you are older or above 17 I guess, but it's okay to learn about life earlier *smile*. There will come a moment when you feel sad, fail, afraid, fall, and many more things that lead us to giving up in any way. The key is always find a new hope and dream, sweetie, never ever giving up! no matter how hard your life is. Indeed, life is hard basically. But we have to face it, struggle, keep trying, and one more thing, live your life and be grateful." Her dad said

"My dear, people has their own challenge. So, if you have difficulties on your way, don't worry, there's people who might facing harder challenge. Good luck honey!" Her dad said

P.S not so interesting post I guess:(

A letter

Dear Hermione

When you read this letter, I hope you won't hex or crucio me. Umm i can't say much, but for merlin's sake i think you'd better know one thing before  we at least leave hogwarts after the war and find our own way.

I love you, granger.

Although i've broke your feelin for many times due to my dumb assness to call u a mudblood and any else worse thing. I love you, granger. I never admit it to anyone else even my self, i had been denying it for years. I was wondering about my feeling these years about you honestly. I kept asking my self do I really love you or I just randomly think about you. Then I tell my mother about it, eventually. Of course she didn't approve but all she want is me to be happy, so my mother told me to write you a letter just in case to say sorry after all i've done. I hope you would accept my appologize though i know you wouldn't that easy.

Now, you dont need to be worry about me, im okay if i have none who would stand beside me. We might could be a friend (did i just propose you to be my friend? Damn, but apparently yes. Would u granger?) Well okay, never mind, i just out of my line. Besides, i know you already have weasel and saint potter. You deserve them, they're all good meanwhile me, i just a villain and brainless. Anyway i hope best for u and weasel.

Just hoping that one day i could be as lucky as weasel... to find someone who will love me no matter who I am. Yet Im afraid of losing but i know im a coward  and i deserve nothing. After what my family and I have done in the war, i  realize i even don't deserve to live. To be honest granger, i never ever want to stay in the dark side but i just had no choice. My father kept forcing me to be the dumb dark lord's servant. Once I was thinking to defect into your side but apparently im a coward, i had no bravery in my hell blood. I promise to my self that if one day i have kids i'll raise them in peace and love so that there wouldn't any other savage malfoy who insult muggle born witch. And it would be nice if you're the mother of my kids. Oh what the  hell granger, did i just say about future? 

I know granger, this letter would mean nothing for you. 

Stay well, granger. Im praying to salazar for your best. Oh...um, one more thing -im happy about you and weasel. And I do really mean it. 

Sincerely yours,

Draco

A short acquainted

In the delightful evening she got the train, her eyes gazing around, staring into people. She like the way people are people with their unique personality. She took a sit and play on the music from her phone as she put on her head phone. She enjoyed solitude she made herself and open her book instead. That girl loved books so much, she would spend her whole day just to read and read. Knowledge made her free as well, feed her brain as she gathered into books. With a book she was regardless of time. She was just an ordinary girl but she let her thought dream whatever it want. She said, dream kept her alive.

Those girl didn't realize there's a guy staring at her, in the train, everyday. The guy felt impressed with the girl. He like the way she put on her headphone, the way she opened her book, the way she looked stylish, he  liked her sharp dark brown eyes the most [his was blue].  He would always think about the girl he met on the train whenever he get  home and open his book. He clearly remember how beautiful she was, she would look more beautiful when she simply open her book. He really enjoyed staring at the girl along his way. He was so admired  on her. Once, he thought to make a short acquainted with the girl, but he wasn't that easy to start a word, beside that was a girl. Therefore he couldn't make an acquainted with stranger he met on the train. Ridiculous.

Upon my honour, I never met with so many pleasant smart girls in my life as I have this evening. He thought. He brace his self to make a talk as he just realize that the girl was reading his favourite book. It couldn't help him to standing still. "Sorry, umm did u read that book?" He asked hasitantly.
"Hah?" The girl shocked, she currently enjoy her solitude as she gave more attention into the words of her book.
"I love that book you're reading. Im sorry, well umm I just asking." His face getting red.
"Yeah, sorry umm Im a bit shocked." She said as she put off her headphone onto her lap.
"How can u hear me, with the headphone on?" He tried to  calm  his self.
"*chuckle* haha I didn't play on the music, I just yea put on my headphone without play the music. Umm u know, the crowded was..... a  bit freak me out. Well, not really."  She felt embarrassed. "Oh ok, I know. So, do u like that book you  read?" He asked as he take a sit beside the girl.
"Yea, I do. Its my friend recommendation but already on my book to read list, before they asked me." She said in low tone.
" so, I think it is almost everyday we got the same train." He said.
"We are? But I think I never saw you." She said curiously.
"Oh? Well, I like took a sit in the corner, next to the window. I liked the view. Umm anyway, Im Andrea, and you are?" He lock his eyes right into the girl's.
"Im Venus, just call me Ve." She felt blushy.
"So, Ve? How do u think about that book? Its been my favourite all along." "I love this book so much, it has a really great influence, and so inspiring me." The girl regarded the guy with cold eyes.
"Indeed, I felt amazed with the author too.

Anyway, Im gonna stop the next one station. So, uum...can I..can I get ur phone number?" He looked uncertain and shy. "A what? Um, sure." She write down her phone number into the guy's phone, and named it with Ve. "I gotta go, um I'll text u later, we might talk more about that book. See ya!" He step out to the edge of the train and fade into crowded.
