Quiet, the house is too quiet.
I opened my eyes and heard nothing. By now Aurora would have begun cooking and the house will be filled with sounds of her running around with pots and pans.
I slipped out of my bed and made my way to the kitchen, slowly and carefully. But it was empty.
"What do you think happened?" I asked Kefi.
"Like I know. I wasn't here with her."
"What's wrong? You're more cranky than usual." I walked around the house to her room.
Still not there.
Where could she be?
"Cranky? What am I, an old lady?"
"Given your age, yes."
"You're such an annoying kid."
"Better an annoying kid than a cranky grandmother. So what happened? Sleepless night?"
Kefi sighed and replied, "Something like that. You see, there are times of the month where I feel extremely groggy and tired waking up if I didn't eat the night before. Though, the medicine she gave me helped a lot with my hunger. Otherwise, I would have gone on a rampage last night."
