The Missing Melon
What is the first thing you wish to see in the morning?

Well… I begun my day with a rather unusual and very unpleasant
conversation with my mum.

“Where is the melon I bought yesterday?”

This question did not elicit any change of expression in my morning face. I continued walking towards the washroom. She charged at me,

“It is in the bills! They charged forty-seven rupees and I can’t find it anywhere”

I stared at her with an expression that says, ‘I want to talk, but I don’t know what to say’.

“I bet it is that boy. I specifically told him to put it in my car. I knew that
moment, he’s going to mess it up.”

I intervened,
“Did you check all the bags, covers...”
“Yes! Yes! Did you see any melon?”
“Umm… I can’t recollect anything now.”
