Your duty in this house

The sound of something pacing echoed in his ears.

Ravi yawned and reached for his phone but it was not by his side. Habitually, he tried to reach the creases of the mattress but no phone wither. He sighed and burrowed deeper into the covers, he wanted to sleep some more.

Work! Was it time for work? Lateness equals deducting salary. The thought made the rolling Ravi freeze as he instantly opened his eyes.

It was bright outside. The kind of sun that one can only see in the midday. It must be 12 pm or 1 pm.

He was dead. He was dead. He was dead.

He jumped out of the bed and rushed to the door. He must have left his phone downstairs.

Ravi opened the door and his eyes met quiet cornflower blue. The cat.

"Meow."

"Good afternoon."

He did not know what to say to the cat.

"Do you need something?"

The cat shook its head and waited quietly.
