The cat crossed the street and sat wagging its tail on the steps of
the house just opposite to us as though it was mocking at me.
Gayathri, my mother began slapping her cheeks with both her hands,
looked up to the sky and began praying as foolishly as she has always
remained. I knew it is going to take a few more minutes before I can
finally leave for college, which is a couple of miles away from my
house.
What a bad omen! my mother panted as she rushed inside the house and
returned with a glass of water.
Take a few sips of water while I will keep an eye on the street, She
began looking out for any more cats; widows; people who never had
issues; anything which she considered as a bad omen if they came
across me while I stepped down from the house. It was then that some
of my classmates went past our house looking at me standing on the
steps, glancing at the cat which was still sitting in the opposite
direction and smiled as they knew what was going on.
I am getting late, I groaned at my mom impatiently.
Wait, She replied without even bothering to look at me. It is your
annual examinations; I don't want you to take any risks.
