For weeks, she had been preparing without telling anyone. She timed how long her mother usually took to get home from work. She tested different routes from school, cutting through alleys and hopping fences. When no one was home, she practiced, setting a timer, starting over if she missed it by even a minute.

Her mother\u2019s big day was coming up, and she wanted the food to be ready the moment the door opened.

She left school and didn\u2019t take the usual route home. Instead of the long street with the traffic lights, she cut through the small park, crossed the narrow footbridge and slipped behind the row of garages. It was faster. She had measured it.

She climbed in through the kitchen window, dropped her backpack, and checked the clock. Twenty minutes left.

Rice on first, then tofu cut into sticks with shaking hands. Cornstarch went everywhere, oil dripped on the kitchen floor. She stirred too fast, then slowed down. The tofu crisped and the sauce thickened. She has practiced for this very moment and would not miss a second.

At seventeen minutes, the tofu hit the glaze and turned glossy and sticky. At nineteen, she finished plating the rice. With half a minute left, she wiped her hands on her shirt and just stood there, staring at her finished meal.

The timer rang and at the same moment, the front door opened. Her mother stepped inside to a kitchen dusted in cornstarch, oil splatters on the wall, and a child standing proudly behind a bowl of sticky tofu and rice.

Twenty minutes exactly.<\/pre>\n\n\n
