Chapter 4: Weekend
Saturday mornings are considered the beginning of weekends. Most people tend to sleep soundly in their comfort zone, yet...
"Shu! Shu!" There was this woman in front of Ray, with a dusting broom in her hands and trying to flee Ray from Meloni's room, while Ray just sat on the edge of the window and looked at her with a sigh.
"Aih! Lemon, why do you keep bringing birds in the house, you know crows are bad omens- Chii~Shu!" She was Meloni's aunt and had a habit of calling Meloni by her nickname, Lemon.
Meloni, on the other hand, was in the washroom. "Nana, it's not a crow!" She shouted from inside, prolly taking a shit.
'You hear that woman? I'm not a crow, I'm a falcon and one of the fastest breeds at that!' Ray thought because it'd become more awkward if he spoke up.
"Black birds are bad omens, Lemoni!" Her nana replied.
'That sounds racist somehow?' Ray thought.
Meloni finally came out of the washroom and spoke up, "Nana! Stop it! Look, it's injured, it was on the verge of dying! How can it be a bad omen? Saving lives is a good karma."
'Exactly!' Ray thought. Apparently, Meloni's aunt believes in omens, spirits, and karma a lot.
"Aih! I get it-I get it!" Nana backed off and went back to dusting, but it just worsened the situation.
"You've grown now, huh? Now, why would you listen to your Nana? I get it~" She kept murmuring while dusting her room.
