It is almost dinner time when Frieze woke up. Seeing the clock next to her. she pouts at the timings. She is lazy to cook and decides to eat whatever is left over in the fridge from today's lunch that Rose prepared. She yawns again and her stomach growls. She feels the hunger instantly. She drags herself out of the bed and irritatingly walks up to the kitchen frowning at her stomach growls. Seeing Idri in the kitchen, she jolts back. He sensed his wife has woken up from deep sleep, he turns to look at her with a warm smile. She is shocked to see Idri wearing her new apron that she has not even used yet and to top it all, he is cooking. She never saw him cooking. She remembered him telling her that he is a great cook but she never believed him thinking he is trying to impress her. But, now that she can smell some yummy food and the aura is ever intoxicating.
Her stomach is noisy again with that smell. She scolds herself for drooling and wipes her face right in front. Idri looks at her expression and he could guess she is hungry. He turns back to his cooking and concentrates while he adds some oregano to the noodles he was preparing. Frieze comes back to her senses and coldly asks, "What are you doing in my house? Were you not supposed to leave with your parents?"
His grip tightens on the spoon he is holding and feels disappointed hearing her speak like as if he is a stranger. He keeps himself calm and turns to look at her. He clears his throat to speak, "When my wife is sick, it is my duty to take care of her."
"I am not your wife anymore. Just cut it. You can leave after eating. This is not your mansion that you can decide over things. I am so done with you." She waves her hand in the air and sits on the dining table.
Idri brings the noodles and Manchurian to the table while continuosly looking at her. She does not care and checks out several emails that she received over these days. He served her on a plate and interrupted her business with her phone, "Eat first." She did not respond and continued looking at her phone. He still waits but yet she does not care his presence. She is ignoring him like he does not exists. He sits opposite her, takes her phone away from her hand and pushes the bowl of noodles towards her. She looks at him angrily. "Rose and David wants me to stay here for a few days until you get better. I am here because of their request. We are not officially divorced yet and this means you are still my responsibility. If you don't believe me, you can call my parents and ask. You can even call Alex after dinner. But, you need to eat first. You look like a dead fish."
