18.1 Shattered Hearts
Sirka Village (few months ago)...
"Look!" Serra pointed above. "A bird. Can you see that?"
Haris laughs and stared at the bird-shaped clouds that floats in the sky.
"Yes. Haha. And there!" he pointed beside the bird-shaped cloud. "That's a weird shape. It looks like a dog cut into pieces".
They both laughed.
They were lying down on the grass, watching the infinite blue sky. The tall tree gave them shade and the pleasant sound of the river near them was solemn and placid.
Serra just finished working at the fields and Haris took a quick break from the construction. Mira was in their cabin, resting because she's not feeling well.
