Isabell’s P.OV.
It was tomorrow, the day went fast I had no idea when night has already arrived. It was so near, would I be able to do it? Will I fail? Will I let mom's hand down? Everything scared me. Mom said it will be tomorrow, I don’t even know if I will be able to do it. I wish I could run away, hide from all this thing.
I sat on my bed thinking about everything when I heard a knock on my door. “Come in.” I said. Mom walked in with a smile on her face, the smile wasn’t genuine, she was hiding her worry.
“Hey mom.” I said.
“Are you okay honey?”. My mother asked while sitting close to me.
“I’m fine mom.” I said. Mom didn’t say anything for few seconds she just looked at me.
“Will you join me to make dinner?.” She asked.
“No I’m okay mom.”
“I could tell you stories about your grandma, you always wanted to know about her didn’t you?.” mom asked.
“Yes I do.” I said with a smile on her face, I knew she was looking for a way to cheer me up but Notting would be able to take my fear.
Mom and I walked into the kitchen, she had something already on the stove. Our kitchen was not big neither was it small but it was enough to contain three people. There was a wooden table in the middle of the kitchen with three wooden chairs around it, a wooden cupboard that was hanged around all the room. The walls were painted in brown while the floors were white. A small stove by the side, and a couple of plates were neatly arranged near it, the small window had a brown curtain around it.

“What was grandma like mom?” I asked once I sat down on one of the chairs.
“Grandma, grandma was the best. She loved cooking, she made amazing dishes.”
“Did grandma have any secret or special recipe.” I asked Mom while chopping the carrots into small cubes.
“Yes, She has a special sauce for spaghetti and meatballs.” Mom said, one could sense the happiness in her voice.
“I thought that was your special sauce mom.”
“No! It was Grandma’s, she was just like you Isa, sweet, nice, a smile that light up the room. She had dreams and loved her children a lot, you know if she saw you she will be really happy you turned out the way she wanted.” Mom said while giving me some vegetables to help her cut.
“Children, I thought you were the only child mom.”
“ummmm. Yes I was but I guess that slipped out of my mouth.” She said while covering it with a laugh. “Are you done chopping the Vegas.” Mom asked, she was trying to change the topic.
“Yes I’m done mom.” I said, I stood up from the chair and washed my hands.
Mom looked worried more worried than she was when she walked into my room, I went back and sat on the chair. I wanted to ask mom more about grandma but she looked like she wasn’t comfortable. Today was the first time she spoke about grandma, usually she will avoid the conversation and walk away.
“Mom are you okay? You look worried.” I said.
“No honey I’m fine, I’m just a bit tired. You can go call your father for dinner I will soon be done.”
“Alright mom.”
I could hear the distress in her voice, I decided to let her be. I walked into my parents room, Dad was sited on the bed.
“Good evening father.” I said.
“You forgot to knock.” He said harshly.
“Lo siento (I’m sorry).” I said while looking down.
“You need something.” He asked.
“Mom said I should call you for dinner.” I said.
“Alright, I am coming.” Dad said.
I quickly walked out of the room to avoid any more conversation, I walked into the dining room, a delicious aroma hit my nostril. Whatever mom cooked had a beautiful aroma. Mom walked out of the kitchen with a tray that had salad on it, everything was arranged properly.
“What did you prepare ?”. I asked when she worked into the room.
“I made spaghetti and special sauce, with a chicken salad and we get ice- cream for dessert.” Mom said.
"What's the occasion mom?." I asked because usually she didn't make this much food.
"No occasion honey, just wanted to cook something special for you." She said with a smile on her face.
“Did you make grandma’s special sauce.” I said with a smile on my face.
“Yes. I made it exactly the way she did, you know grandma..” Mom was about to continue speaking when Dad walked in, He looked at us both and took a sit without saying a word.
Mom served us the food and took her own seat.
“Isa say the prayer before we begin.” Mom said while holding my hand.
“ Father Lord! I pray for my family, friends, thank you for providing us with this meal tonight, I thank you for everything, for happiness and peace, I pray we will overcome all over fears, protect me and my family from the evil eye of the world. Oh Lord! Protect us from the evil and give me strength for tomorrow. Thank you Lord for the food and for family” I said while opening my eyes.
“Amen..”
