Confession [2]
Around 7 pm today, I heard some knocking on my door. I opened it and it was my next door pregnant neighbour (she was, I think, in her 7th or 8th month). She was holding a small plate in her hand. In a very shy voice, she asked me if I can give her some of what ever I was cooking because she liked the smell. I think pregnant women sometimes have strong cravings and they can not resist it.
Anyway, She was shy and apologised a lot for her request since we don’t know each other. I laughed and told her it is ok. I was cooking a traditional meal from my country and the recipe has olive oil, garlic, jalapeños and some spices. I think the smell was nice. I gave her some of my dinner then she left.
I watched her walking home like a cute little penguin who’s happy with her successful little hunting. I felt really happy too for some reason.
