Chapter 23 Ayia
Chapter 23 Ayia
Later that day, Theo was in bed searching for cooking classes on his laptop after a movie session with Aurora.
When he saw an advertisement that said Chef Pierre, a renowned overseas chef, is coming to town and that he opened a surprise class for 20 young students to study about cooking techniques.
Theo became instantly passionate to take this class.
'It is only 20 spots. I have to take one' he thought speedily.
Theo clicked the link and he saw it only had 5 spots left. He hurriedly started to apply for a spot and when he saw it cost 100k, he paid without hesitation.
He heaved a sigh of relief after he saw the confirmation of his spot.
The course would last 5 days, starting the day after tomorrow, and it was 5 hours daily.
Theo was looking forward to increasing his cooking techniques.
As he looked at other news, he saw that an orphanage in the city needed donations and help to take care of the children.
Theo remembered his last life in the orphanage when many times he would go to sleep hungry so that the little ones could get something to eat.
Now that he had some money in this life, he decided to start helping these children.
The next day, Sunday.
Theo and Aurora were having breakfast in the morning after they trained when he asked her.
"Hey, sis, what do you think of coming with me to help the children of an orphanage?"
Aurora was stunned by his question. She didn't expect her brother to ask such a question.
'He is such a gentle soul…' she dreamed in her mind.
But when she remembered they were orphans too and that it wasn't for Theo working all day to provide for them, she would end up in an orphanage again.
She didn't remember much of when she was in an orphanage, as she was too small, but she remembered the feeling of hunger.
She wanted to go with him to bring happiness to the little ones.
"I would love to" she sweetly said.
They didn't talk anymore as they both understood each other's feelings.
They dressed up in simple clothes and got out of the apartment. When Theo walked to his G3 Jeep and entered, Aurora was shocked that her brother had such a luxurious car.
"You bought this car, brother?" she asked.
"Someone gave it to me" he said shaking his head.
She wondered who would give such an expensive car but accepted his explanation.
They first went to buy daily necessities like toilet paper, toothbrushes and pastes, diapers, and other little things. They put everything in the trunk of the car, which was enormous. And after, they went to buy food for the children.
Aurora was in the car waiting for him and Theo was exiting the store carrying many bags of food when suddenly someone bumped into him, making him drop most of the bags and spilling food everywhere.
"Oh my god. I am so sorry!!" Theo heard a female voice say in desperation.
Theo was a bit upset. This food was for the children and he didn't like to waste food.
Theo turned around to look at the idiot that didn't look where she walked.
It was then that he saw one of the prettiest girls, he had ever seen in his two lifetimes.
She was tall for a girl, 1,78m. She had beautiful purple shoulder-length hair. Golden eyes that were beyond pretty, they seemed like she had paid for someone to paint her eyes. White skin with little freckles that made her look cute. And a face that seemed sculpted by the gods, full red lips, white perfect teeth, blushed cheeks. A goddess walking on earth.
Theo froze as looked at her. But at the same time, she froze too. Because Theo was the most handsome guy, she ever saw too.
He looked exactly like the man of her dreams.
'So handsome…' she dreamed.
But although Theo was also stunned, at the sight of her, he came to himself faster as he remembered the wasted food.
Theo wasn't someone that looked too much at beautiful girls. He didn't like when someone stared too much at him so he thought he should do the same with beautiful girls to not make them uncomfortable.
"Hey, lady, don't you see where you walk?" Theo said while frowning.
"Brother, what happened?" Aurora asked after getting out of the car.
"This lady bumped into me and made me drop the bags" Theo said while pointing at the ground.
The lady in question instantly blushed as she heard the siblings talking.
"I am so sorry for wasting your food! I can buy more food as compensation, please!" she said while giving a ninety-degree bow.
Theo and Aurora were surprised at her antics but seeing she truly apologetic they forgave her in their minds.
"Well, if you want to. But please, stop bowing first" Theo said gently. He didn't like people bowing to him, much less a super beautiful girl.
"Thank you!!!" she shouted relieved that they forgave her.
She stood up and Theo for the first time saw her clothes. She wore pants that looked she had painted them, it had various images on them. She also wore a museum shirt, that he assumed she visited. She looked like an art student taking a stroll.
"My name is Ayia. I am sorry again for bumping into you" Ayia said with an apologetic smile.
"Don't worry about it. We already forgave you. My name is Theo" he said with a reassuring smile.
"And I am Aurora, Theo's sister" Aurora said also smiling.
They entered the store again and Ayia ordered the food as her compensation.
While they were waiting for the food they started talking.
"So, if you don't mind me asking. Why are you getting so much food?" Ayia asked.
"We are taking it to an orphanage in the city. We are going there afterwards to spend time with children to bring some happiness for them"
Theo and Aurora smiled as if they were truly happy about being able to make the children smile.
Ayia was touched when she saw their smile. It was difficult to find someone in her friends' circle, who would smile while talking about helping others.
