WATERMELON

Ren lives with his poor grandma after his parents passing. One evening after returning from school he cook rice and boiled potato for both of them. His grandma collects bottles for their daily living so he help out at home. After he is done he open his notebook to study. Then his eyes falls on the scribble drawing of a watermelon 🍉 he scribbled once. His little mind feels with overjoy.

WHY?

Because his grandma promised that she will bring watermelon today. In this summar when it's common for other boys to eat whatever however it's not the case for Ren and his grandma. They just manage to go by their day somehow.

Afterwhile sudden storm arises. Whole sky covered with black clouds. It's going to heavy rain soon.

Ren got worried. "WHEN WILL GRANDMA COME?"

*Knock knock*

 "Ren"

Ren ran to door after getting his grandma's voice. He opens the door seeing his grandma with her hair unsettled due to the heavy storm. And in one hand 'WATERMELON'. He overjoyed.

'Grandma, you bought watermelon?'

She smiles 'Of course. My Ren first time wanted something from this poor old woman'

'You are the best grandma in the world'

She passed the watermelon to him. 'Grandma, I have already cooked'

'Then let's go, eat quickly'

'You eat, I'll eat after studying'

AFTER FEW MINUTES

'Ren, give me some more food.'

Ren goes to give more food noticing the food is almost finished.

Grandma - Hurry up, I'm very hungry.'

Ren feels her behaviour unusual

(Did she work more today?)

Ren -'Ok' (I'll just eat the watermelon if I feel hungry)

He give the rest to his Grandma.

'Maybe she is really hungry today'.

Then he returns to study.

*Knock knock*

'Anyone is home?' A person said from outside.

Ren opens the door and see police. He gets worried.

'Yes?'

'Child, is any adult is at home?'

'My grandma. But she is eating.'

'What! Your grandma?'

'Yes'

'But how is this possible?'

As he said that another officer brings the thing with him

A WATERMELON 🍉

'This is the thing your grandma want to handover to you before passing away'

Ren's eyes got bigger

'How is it possible? My grandma is inside. What passing away?'

'She got into an accident while crossing road and when suddenly the storm begins. She couldn't see the red light'

'NONSENSE'

Ren runs to the place she was eating

THERE WAS NO ONE EXCEPT THE PLATE WITH HALF EATEN RICE.

Police inspector comes to the boy and see the boy is hysterically crying on the floor.

"GRANDMA" the child's heartwrenching cry fills up the air.

"I won't want to watermelon anymore, grandma. Please come back to me."

"I don't need watermelon, I need you only, Argh"

The officer couldn't help but feel sorry for the boy and caress his back.

Inspector thought in his mind - (MAYBE HER SOUL CAME TO SEE HIM FOR LAST TIME)
