Chapter 4: Apology Burger Steak
"H-Hiroshi-kun..." i looked at him right in the eye nervously, "Are you angry at me?"
But Hiroshi just stare back at me with cold eyes and huffed as he looked away. It's been a month ever since i pull out a prank on Ishika that was apparently went on way too far, and she's still in the hospital with a critical condition. And ever since that, Hiroshi never talked or even cared about me.
I sighed and walked away from the class room. Miruku followed me to school for today since he's bored at my room. He peeked into my class and muttered, "I don't think he'll ever talked to you again, Akane."
That word shot my heart out! But Miruku is right, i've gone too far. Even though Ishika always bully me, i don't really like it to have a sweet revenge on her. This isn't about what she done to me, but what she done to Hiroshi. And what i mean by that is, i'm only jealos of her.
"But it can't be helped!" i whined at Miruku and pouted, "If only i can do something to make him forgive me, i'll do anything!"
"Hey Akane." Miruku called me, "I heard Hiroshi likes burger steak, i think you should make one."
"That's a great idea but..." i stares at Miruku with hopeless eyes, "I don't think he wants to be in the hospital for the second time just because of my bad cooking skills."
"You should try it Akane!" Miruku cheered, "Not to worry! I'll judge your cooking! This time, i will be very carefull! You can count on me!"
"Miruku..." I turned my eyes into teary puppy dog eyes, "Thank you. Now let's go!"
Both of us walked home as we talked about the burger steak. All of my sadness are washed away with the rest, and i have finally found a motivation to live again on earth, and it's all thanks to Miruku. I don't know how to say this but, thank you Miruku.
~At home...~
"Yoshi Miruku!" I pulled out a piece of a recipe paper and handed it over to Miruku, "Here's the burger steak's recipe! What do you think?"
Miruku snatched it and read it very carefully.
BURGER STEAK
- 1lb ground beef
- 7 tbsp soy sauce
- 11 tbsp chopped onion
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Freshly pulled off mushrooms from the forest
- 7 tea spoon of sugar
- 3 cup of rice
Miruku drolled, "Such delicious ingredients..."
That's when Miruku snapped and shouted, "THE INGREDIENTS IS VERY VERY BAD! MAKE IT AGAIN AKANE!"
I screamed in terror and do what Miruku commanded me to.
It was already 78 papers of failed ingredients that was laying on the floor, including me and Miruku. We were SO tired that we sleep on the floor. But there is no giving up, one more time!
~A few days later...~
"Hiroshi-kun!"
I shouted. He glanced at me but then ignored me. But i answer it with a s ile as i continued, "I make a burger steak for you!"
"I reject eating a murder's food."
Okay, that was one really harsh words to say to a lady! He should be at least a little bit nicer to me! But i just ignored him and pulled out a lunch box which is exactly the burger steak.
"Please Hiroshi-kun?"
"Don't you know what happened to me in the last time!?" Hiroshi shouted as he glared at me, "I said i will never ever-"
"HIROSHI-KUN!"
Both of us turned silent. Tears are starting to flow down to my cheeks as the regret for almost killing Ishika.
"I don't want us to be fighting and avoiding each other anymore!" i cried, "Please! Accept my apology!"
He hesitated at first. But then sighed, took the lunch box, open it and took a bite. I gulped. I made it with love from the bottom of my heart, so please! Please!
"It's good..."
I blinked away my tears. Is he saying what i hear just now? He took a bite once again, "It... Really is good Akane!"
GOD blessed me! I really thought Hiroshi will be senrpt to the hospital again! But on a second thought, NO!
"T-then would you like me to make some again!?"
Hiroshi glanced at me. He chukled, "Okay then, Akane."
My heart skipped a beat! I was blushing! And HOT! But i brushed it away with my right hand and smiled, "Okay!"
I might not have that really amazing talent on arranging ingredients, but who knows that maybe someday, i'll be good at arranging ingredients! Ooh, i wish that this moment of happiness would last forever.
