The Story of Mukbang
05: Little Happiness

Kaysie breezed confidently into one of the shopping centers in downtown S. Her legs are wrapped in a beautiful stiletto from the famous fashion house C.L, the stiletto is as high as 12 centi with silver color combined with gold. Kaysie's appearance today shows an impression full of arrogance, high self-esteem and beauty. Do not forget a handbag from the G brand that does not need to be asked again how much it costs because it will make people who hear it a headache.

The woman walked into one of the clothing stores and then looked through the entire collection there. Kaysie doesn't want to remember the pain of Adrian. Today he is determined to be happy with whatever he wants to do, no matter if he has to spend thousands of dollars which is important his heart can be a little better. Hopefully.

Kaysie continued to walk around the store but none of the items attracted her interest, she then moved to another store. Surrounding one store and other stores that in fact did not make Kaysie carry a single paper bag.

The woman instead of feeling happy to be upset herself, she came out of the last store while stomping her legs in annoyance and then sat in one of the chairs available in the shopping center.

"Capek" he complained directly while kneading his legs which now feels stiff because it runs too long with the high stiletto.

Kaysie just sits there looking around, as usual the shopping center will be crowded even during the weekends. His brain again thought about what else he wanted to do to spend the rest of the day.

Kaysie's adventurous eyes then stopped right at a meat restaurant. It was just a traditional meat restaurant, he had once eaten there and it didn't taste bad.

"OK eat it"

The decision was made immediately after he felt interested in the traditional meat restaurant. Kaysie would put the money there instead of spending it on buying things she didn't seem to need.

Do not be fooled by traditional labels, the restaurant includes the ranks of luxury restaurants in this shopping center. The decoration is very traditional with wooden ornaments and dining tables that are arranged in a buffet with a pillowcase to sit on but look at what the nominal price in the menu book that makes one look also know if this it's a fancy restaurant.

Kaysie who had entered decided to occupy a table near the window, he wanted to eat quietly while watching the car passing into the parking lot.

The menu book on the table was opened by Kaysie. The menu there in the top three sections, appetizers with light menus that are perfect for appetizers then the second part there is a main cost and the last is a dessert with a variety of menu options.

As Kaysie chose the menu, there came a waitress with a friendly smile to take note of the menu that Kaysie would order.

"Beef salad original, hainan chicken, beef BBQ, steam boat tom yum, matcha cake and strawberry smoothies" Kaysie mentioned the food she wanted to eat today while flipping through the menu book.

"For two Miss ?" ask the maid while noting it in the booking paper.

Kaysie closed her menu book then smiled a little "One person, everything is for me" she replied without hesitation. Kaysie knew that in a moment the waiter would say that he was greedy, but let it all be as if it were a cure for her heartbreak.

The waiter stopped taking notes for a moment after hearing Kaysie's answer, she thought this woman could spend all the food alone ? moreover, it seems that the customer is typical of the ladies who are very concerned about their weight.

"Excuse me" Kaysie flicked her hand at the maid as she looked dreamy.

The maid sucked a little, she lowered her head in an apology and finished her work to record Kaysie's order.

"Is there anything else you want to add Miss ?"

"Add mineral water 1, that's it"

Kaysie finished saying her order, the shadow of the food she ordered was clearly carried inside her head. Today Kaysie will eat without any burden, forget the scales for a moment and eat happily that was Kaysie's goal today.

The maid then passed away after saying goodbye politely, saying that Kaysie's order would be ready soon.

While waiting for the food came Kaysie saw the car and then with eyes that looked like he was thinking, he even propped up his chin with one of his hands.

"How to reply Adrian" he suddenly said what he was thinking.

Kaysie for two days was busy returning the strength of her heart even though in fact her heart condition was still broken apart but resentment began to make her heart slowly strengthen, even though it was still broken, he intends to avenge the evil treatment of his former fiancee in a way that can not be imagined.

Adrian will beg for mercy at his feet, that is his goal but what is now so the problem is how to make a plan for that goal to be achieved. Until now, Kaysie still can not see Adrian, it feels his heart still sore just by looking at the man's face how can he revenge if it was like that.

A heavy sigh rang out from Kaysie's mouth, his thinking session finding no way out. There was no one way he could take his revenge on Adrian.

"Miss, here's your order"

Kaysie averted her eyes, next to her already came a male servant carrying her order. Beef salad is available first along with one bottle of mineral water. Kaysie invited the waiter to arrange the food on her desk "Thank you" she said kindly while not forgetting a small smile.

Without wasting any more time Kaysie lifted the spoon and fork, soaked her throat with mineral water first then began to enjoy the appetizer. His hands carefully mixed the beef salad so that the whole sauce can smear the vegetables and meat.

Feeling completely mixed and then Kaysie took a piece of meat and some vegetables and then directed into his mouth, both eyes closed to enjoy the delicious taste that spoils his senses. Beef salad has a mild taste but is very refreshing because it uses fresh vegetable ingredients.

"Enak" exclaimed Kaysie honestly assessing the food she was enjoying right now.

Kaysie may be no stranger to this food menu because at any time she can ask the chef at home to make it but this is the first time Kaysie has eaten without any burden, his heart felt better and his face looked radiant.

The next meal then came, Kaysie arranged her table so that the food could be arranged neatly. This time the hainan chicken and steam boat tom yum with smoke that looks billowing sign the food has just ripened.

"Will Miss do a mukbang broadcast ?" the waitress asked as she arranged the food at Kaysie's table.

The waiter's question left Kaysie puzzled "What is mukbang ?" askalanya. This is a new term that he never heard of at all, what is the latest trend ? but why did he just hear it ? though Kaysie always follow the development of the current trend.

"Mukbang is broadcast online Miss, so later people who eat will be recorded and later uploaded to social media or YouTube channel"

Kaysie listened carefully to the maid's explanation, it was fitting that Kaysie did not know because it was a term that was trending in the food industry while she was more often up-to-date for the fashion world.

"Ah like that" Kaysie's short response, maybe after this he will look more clearly for this mukbang trend.

The female servant nodded in understanding then she passed away to prepare Kaysie's next order.

Kaysie saw the plate and the mangkung which contained two different menus that had been calling her since. Hainan chicken that looks pale but has a very fragrant aroma while steam tom yum placed on a white bowl looks to have a more contrasting broth color that is red compared to the menu hainan chicken is pale white.

The spoon is ready, Kaysie takes a little broth from hainan chicken. The broth water gives a fresh taste especially this is a very healthy menu until it tastes very rich.

"euaah is so refreshing" Kaysie exclaimed with pleasure as she had just tasted the broth from the menu.

A feeling of spirit instantly filled his heart. Kaysie returned to enjoying the meal with joy, her face more radiant with a smile that did not fade from her lips. It was like getting a fresh breeze in the middle of a fierce storm that these few days had continued to disturb the calmness of his heart and soul.

Kaysie continued to enjoy the food, the spoon was not even put down because she was still eager to finish the meal. At first a little hesitation approached Kaysie when ordering the food, he used to eat only small portions because of his diet but today Kaysie seems able to spend it all because his heart is very happy to enjoy the food.

"Bodo is very much the same diet" he commented briefly after he momentarily realized that this time he ate more than the portion set by his personal nutrition doctor.

As Kaysie enjoys her meal, the final menu comes along with a dessert as well as her order strawberry smoothies. Kaysie then placed the spoon for a moment and tidied the table so that the remaining food could get a place on the medium-sized table.

"How's Miss ? what suits your taste ?" the waiter who dropped off the last menu politely asked Kaysie.

Kaysie rubbed her lips for a moment with a food tissue and then looked at the waitress "Yes, it's good please say my regards to the chef who made it" he said.

The lady-servant smiled kindly "Well Miss I will say, sorry I had noticed Miss's very happy face while enjoying our meal"

"really ?" kaysie asked hesitantly, she was very happy with the food she was ordering but was it clearly visible on her face ?

"Sure, Miss's face is radiant and makes Miss look even more beautiful"

The compliments the maid gave Kaysie a shy smile, she gave a small nod while saying her thanks.

"Please enjoy back Miss, if there is any need to be able to call me there" the maid continued her words again while pointing her hand towards the front door where she would stand there.

Kaysie nodded in understanding, the female servant went to her place and Kaysie was seen thinking about the words from the female servant earlier. Does he doubt ? does he really look happy ? though at this time his heart was trying desperately to calm the terrible storm but is it really only because of the food he became happier ?

As if in disbelief, Kaysie picked up a small mirror from inside her bag. He saw his reflection in the mirror, there was no look of sadness on his face at this moment was drastically different from the previous days.

Kaysie looked at the food she had on the table "Is it because of you that I'm happy ?" the question is monologuing as if talking to the food.

It is not expected that happiness can be obtained easily with small things, such as when eating like that.
