"Take a seat, guys." Naomi went forward and pulled the stool out. Before sitting, "Come on," and sat down on the stool. 

"Sigh. Fine. take a seat. I will make food for you,"

"I knew it." Naomi grinned at Aman.

Aman pulled out an apron from a drawer, put it on. He pulled out two menu cards from the drawer.

"Menus or would you like me to cook my special?" he held the three cards in his hand.

"What will be the cuisine of your special?" Ryan asked.

"Varma."

"....what cuisine is that?" Ryan frowned, "Never heard of,"

"Oh, you should have heard about it. It is my cuisine. I have created it."

"...no, sir, really, what is the cuisine?" Gwen asked too.

"Mix, lady. I do not look at cuisines when I cook."

Gwen nodded, Aman was not someone she could trust at the moment. So she decided to go for the menu. Aman handed Gwen the menu.

"Anybody else?" And asked.

"I have not tasted Japanese food, and I do not want food to go waste so-" Devon replied, he did not want to take a risk by ordering Aman's special Varma cuisine 

"Yeah, I would not allow that," 

"Right, I do not want to…"

"I will squeeze that food down your throat but will not allow you to leave anything on your dish." that warning scared the shit out of Devon. 

'Vampires these days…' Aman shook his head.

"So you will take the menu?"

"Thank you," Devon leaned forward and got the menu. He opened it and started reading the menu.

Aman still held the menu in his hand, he moved it in front of Ryan, "You?"

"Naomi?" Ryan turned his eyes to Naomi. She was staring at him since the time they sat down.

"I trust him. I would take his Varma special."

Ryan nodded, "Do not poison me though."

"Haha," he laughed it off, he threw the menus away as he turned around. 

"I would like this," Gwen pointed at a thing she found interesting in the menu, "I do not know what it is but I want to try,"

"The Varma Twister?" Aman read the thing listed on the menu, "Good choice!" He went to his fridge and took out some vegies, food, meat, eggs, bread, etc. He was super fast. He took a few knives of different blades out of nowhere.

Ryan took a closer look to know where he took those knives out from. He realized there was a scabbard hanging against his waist. It was a big scabbard, big enough to fit three knives at once. 

"What about you vampy boy?"

"Vampy?" Gwen questioned.

"Vampy boy, haha! You still have a strange sense of humor uncle." Naomi started laughing.

But Ryan. and Devon. More than Ryan, Devon started getting even more scared. He could feel his body burn up. Same with Ryan, his heart was beating hard.

Aman was facing the other side, he was doing something with his knives, cutting some vegetables maybe. 

"Blood," Devon replied. Ryan's eyes went wide.

"What are you saying, Devon?"

"You want blood?" 

"You are bleeding."

"Hah?" Aman was already looking down at his fingers, one of which was bleeding, "Ah~ you are right." He turned around. 

"Oh my god, how? How did you cut yourself?" Naomi exaggerated the cut. 

"Do not know, maybe someone wanted me to bleed." Aman looked at Devon from the corner of his eye with a smile.

"Do not be ridiculous, get it treated right now."

"It is okay, it will heal on its own in a minute."

"It will? Is that cut really small?"

"Yep. Just a scratch." a drop of blood dropped on the floor. Aman looked at Devon then at the blood dripping from his finger.

"If you say so," Naomi sat back in his seat.

"I am surprised, how did you know I was bleeding? Even I did not sense it!" Aman smiled at Devon. He held his finger in front of him. 

"He is doing it deliberately," Ryan murmured. But Ryan could not do anything, he could only wish for Devon to stay under control. 

"Please suck it, sir. You will make your kitchen dirty," Devon replied.

'I guess the last night's misunderstanding was not for nothing. Naomi and Gwen would have found about me if I had not killed those innocent humans.' Devon sighed in relief. 

Because he had not killed the humans last night, he would not have got enough blood with him. And seeing blood right now would have only made him crave for more.

"Ah, it is nothing."

"Please suck it," Devon repeated.

'He does not know I do not need a lot of blood as a Hybrid Vampire.'

He did not see any changes in Devon's behavior, he decided to suck the blood.

"I will take Teriyaki," Devon told Aman his order.

"Roger." Aman turned around.

'He has control over his thirst. Cool.' He laughed inside his mind. 

"So, tell me more about yourselves." Aman proposed. No one answered him though, "Okay, I will tell you about myself first."

He talked as he continued doing his preparations for making food. He lit up the stove and put a big pot over it. He pulled out a griddle pan and placed it over his workplace.

"My name is Aman Varma. Aman is the first name, it is pronounced as A-mAan, not A-Man. My last name is pronounced as Var-Ma."

"Aman Varma… sir," Gwen added.

"I am Indian, as you might have already guessed. Full Indian, but my citizenship is Japanese. I was born and raised in India for a while. I came to Japan for an Academy education. Japan and USA were the only top countries peaking in their development in both financial, and geographical after the 2021 pandemic.

"We were middle-class Indian family, we could not afford the USA although the market was down and all. So Japan it was. Believe me, India still is not the best country for the Trait education." Aman turned around and shook his head.

"Then I met Naomi-chan's father, Satoru. We became friends, we both fell for the same woman–"

"Wait. what?" Naomi frowned and turned her eyes to Aman, "You- you? You were used to like my mother? Seriously?"

"Hahaha!" he laughed again.

Everyone in the room was surprised to hear that. They all had seen Satoru and now Aman too. If they had to compare then Aman was the best choice possible. He was the best out of the two.

"But no one told me that!" 

Sizzle! 

A loud sizzling sound came as Aman did something on the hot griddle pan. Smoke started coming out from the pan.

"I know, 'cause I never told anyone." 

"You did not?" Naomi leaned back, "Argh, I can not believe it! You and my mother? No way!"

"Haha, I had to give up on Satomi and walk away. I realized she was out of the league, and even if she was in my league, Satoru was someone who meant more to me than that girl with bitch attitude. I hope you do not mind,"

"I do not. She is a real fucking bitch,"

"Spicy,"

"Hah?"

"Would you like it spicy or medium, Ryan-Kun?" 

"Medium will do it," Ryan nodded. 

Naomi calmed down, "So do you still…?" 

"I would have killed Satoru if that was the case. And I would not be standing here making food for you guys. Satomi would have been mine and…" Aman leaned closer to Naomi, "Naomi-chan, you would have been my daughter."

"...."

"But that is not the case. Two years later, when my business was booming, it still is, those two came in. when I thought she is out of my life once and for all… they came in as couples!"

"Ouch." Gwen sighed.

"I felt envious and jealous, sad, upset, depressed, thinking, I would have been sitting by her side instead of Satoru… for just a minute. I saw how bossy Satomi had become over the period of two years, I saw how she was ordering Satoru around, and how she was using him to get her shit done… I was grateful to god. Thank god! I am not sitting by her side!"

"Why are you telling us this? Your private life…" Ryan asked.

"It is not private. It is just some shitty memories I want someone to hear about." He threw some batter over the gribble pan and spread it evenly, forming an oval shape.

"Anyway, what about you?"

"How many languages do you speak?" Ryan asked.

"Born in India, I speak two Indian languages. Marathi and Hindi. Moved to Japan, I learned Japanese. And I knew English way before I was even born! Hahaha!"

'Strange humor..'

"Tell me about you, what happened to your eye?" Aman then added something over the oval-shaped batter. The sizzling sound continued.
