Chapter 48: Making grape wine
By the time the two of them reached home, it was almost two p.m. Ravi started to unload the things in the cart as the cat watched him awkwardly by the door of the pantry.
"Go and watch TV in the living room, you are distracting me." He said after five minutes. Each time, he carried the things he would be careful not to hit the little black and white lump at the door.
The moment they had reached home, the cat had returned to its previous larger kitten look. Ravi wondered what would happen when the cat returned to its human form. As a police officer and a responsible human being, he would have to report it to the police bureau, just in case there is a family that is terribly missing their child, and if there is not, at least report to child services for them to look for a more responsible home for the child, with a family.
He needed school and his age mates to be around. He looked in the direction where the cat was watching an animated movie, his whole focus on the television.
Let him not think about that right now.
He put the meat and other frozen goods in the freezer and arranged the snacks in the lower drawer in the kitchen. He took the juice boxes and other snacks to the child’s room. After keeping it in the drawers there, he looked outside the window. The grapes were already ready, they were even a little overripe. It was not just the grapes in the orchard, the vegetables in the backyard next to the strawberry bush also caught his eye.
The tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes were all very fat and looking at him begging to be harvested. The corn too. His gas grill. He wanted to eat some grilled corn and roasted pears.
That 10 grams of sugar might have already been sold the gas grill to another person. He picked up his phone and sent a message before he read some of his colleagues’ messages, a smile dancing on his lips.
Tom was very reasonable, asking him to take a long rest before returning as they do not have any bug cases.
