[ phone clatter]

[ water sloshing]. as it runs down to my body. Spong squishing and slicking.

" Andrea! your food is getting cold

[door closes]

Mom! as I walk straight to the dinning table. wow! this is expensive, very impressive. how did you do make all of these? the aroma of the food penetrating through the holes of my nostrils.

footsteps coming from the kitchen.

" it is just a delicious tasty and spicy one, with your favorite chocolate smoothies just for you.

- I guess you are calling in for celebration mom.

[chair squeaking, spoons clattering]. "hmm" yummy. this is so delicious mom. (my mouth smacking, tongues licking from the bottom to underneath).

" your dad makes those special recipes during our time. she stated. I can see a light up mood on her face, wearing a smile, eyebrows furrows interlocked.

I just wished you knew him then. she sobs for a while

[Gasps]

- it is fine mom! c'mon. I just thank you for being there for me after all. you are a brave and strong woman. I just wish to have my own man someday
