"Aww....."
...Henry woke up while crying out loud, and if anyone would have looked at him currently, one could easily observe his gloomy face with a pained expression.
Henry did not care about his surroundings for about 10 minutes as he still found his body burning.
When Henry came back to his senses
he immediately recalled the unbelievable things that happened to him along with his sister's naughtiness, the smiling face of his grandma, the happy days he spent on earth, the elders of him who had great expectations on him for being next Einstein.
Especially when he thought about his sister, her cheerfulness, her smile, his time with her, tears began to roll down from his eyes.
After a few minutes, Henry hardened his heart and looked around, he found himself inside a room usually made up of wood. When Henry looked up he saw a ceiling made up of a bunch of dried grass.
When Henry was still looking around
"Thud"
The door opened,
"meow"
A cat ran into the room.
"Hey kitty, this not fair" while uttering the words a child walked in.
Henry who was looking around the room turned his vision towards the door, and saw a boy who looked around 6 years old standing there, Henry looked into his eyes and similarly, the child looked back into Henry's eyes
"Grandpa
Grandpa"
The child yelled.
"wooosh
wooosh"
" What happened?"
an old man rushed inside the room as fast as possible while breathing heavily.
Henry saw the old man, the old man saw Henry. Both of them were staring at each other very seriously. Henry observed that the clothes of the old man and the child are a little bit ancient, He took notice that they are not shirts instead their clothes are just plain with no buttons looked more like a t-shirt.
The atmosphere remained silent, no one uttered a word for a while before the old man broke it with the
sentence
"So, you are awake".
Henry nodded his head,
"Thank you, Senior" with a thanks
he bowed to the old man, expressed the gratitude he felt from his heart with the bow.
Seeing the respectful gesture of the kid in front of him, the old man's face lit up with a smile.
The old man all smiles as he said
"Good, good, I am only doing which a true human needed to do, you don't need to be too courteous".
Henry who caught the eccentric nature of the old man, with an intention of getting more information
questioned
"Senior, you are such a good human being, Senior if you don't mind, please tell me how did you find me ?" .
"Stop flattering grandpa, we found you in red forest nakedly lying on the ground,
who knows what actually you were doing"..
The old man was about to open his mouth to clear the doubts of Henry but got interrupted by the kid.
Henry did not mind the child, but he couldn't help check his own body, his cheeks turned red as he found himself wearing absolutely nothing, he was fully naked, he thanked the blanket for hiding his body.
With a face full of questions, he looked at the old man.
"Uhu.....
uhu....."
Understanding Henry, the old man coughed then the following words flowed out from his mouth
"As you know this old man is poor, this poor soul was unable to afford to lent you a set of clothes".
Can't Afford clothes? Do you take me to a fool? or a blind guy? What are those things lying at the corner?, Aren't they clothes?
Henry had his own thoughts.
Seeing Henry's gaze towards the clothes lying in the corner
"Stop dreaming about those clothes you lecher"
the kid shouted.
At the same time
"meow"
The cat raised its head from the clothes looked Henry, then at the kid and lastly, it took a look at the old man.
"Meow-meow, meow meow"
it picked up a dress in the mouth, the gaze of the cat returned on Henry's figure before It ran outside passing from in between the legs of the old man.
When the cat touched the clothes, the old man who was smiling had his expressions interchanged with anger, With a red-coloured face he shouted
"Stop! stop!"."
But the cat ignored the shouts and soon disappeared from the sight.
"Awww... ", the angry old man turned towards Henry with a shout "Isn't it your cat?".
Henry was flabbergasted due to a sudden turn of the events as he was still thinking that the old man would give him guidance about his current place, elderly teachings like things that usually happen in the novels, but things were not going in the way as he assumed.
"Go, get me back the clothes"
Possessed by anger, the old man gripped Henry's neck, lifted him and kicked him out of the door.
"Pat"
The door has been shut down.
"WTF"
Henry cursed inwardly, but he did not forget to pull the blanket along with him to the outside.
"Haha at least I am not naked"
Hugging the blanket, Henry celebrated the moment in his heart.
But the minute happiness did not last long
"Thud"
the door opened again.
"You lecher, I am taking back my blanket"
The kid pulled the blanket in the next instant
"Thud"
the door closed,
"fuuuuuuuuuu"
the wind blew, Henry felt chills before he realized his current predicament, He was standing fully naked in front of the door of a small wooden house among a sea of the people.
Wherever Henry passed, the people whispered something, often Henry used to look at them, but they avoided Henry's eyes whenever he took a look.
"You old man, I won't forgive you, wait till I bring back the clothes, and teach you guys a lesson"
Henry was naturally angry but the old man did help him, so he could not repay him by stealing his things, so he decided to bring the clothes stolen by the cat back to the old man.
Technically, Henry did not do anything wrong but the cat did, It did not matter whether the cat belongs to him or not, as the cat came along with him after the destruction of the earth. In his heart, Henry was responsible for the actions of the cat as a fellow earthling.
Henry started walking, as he walked he realized that he was probably in a small village based on the things he saw till now including wells, calves, e.t.c
"Mommy look at that guy, haahaaa...."
occasionally a kid used to laugh at him.
"shut up Bintu, Don't get close to that guy, he is a pervert "
The adults would close the eyes of the Kids, and tell them to avoid Henry.
Henry did not mind as he continued to explore the village, he faced it many times and probably habituated to it.
"Stop"
A familiar voice was heard,
Henry stopped his steps and looked back, he found 5 kids holding 5m long sticks each, one of them was the one Henry knew well.
"You can fool Grandpa Luo, but not us"
"Attack"
The familiar kid shouted.
The kids moved forward and began to beat up Henry with sticks,
Henry could not let them beat him nor he wanted to hurt them so he tried to catch and hold the sticks.
"phat"
"phat"
sticks landed on his body, Henry was able to hold 3 sticks, but could not avoid them all as two landed on his body one at the back and other at the front at his weakest part.
Henry crouched in pain.
"meow"
a shadow brushed past,
When Henry saw this shadow,
his anger skyrocketed he couldn't contain it any longer, forgetting his pain he began chasing after the shadow.
"Chase him"
The hateful kid shouted.
The children followed Henry.
"Meow, meow"
The cat entered a forest while carrying clothes in its mouth.
"meow,meow"
it climbed up a tree and jumped on to the other.
"Damn Cat, wait"
A naked silhouette could be seen chasing after the cat, he climbed the tree, when he put his hand on a particular branch of the tree, he felt like he touched something soft.
"Zee zeee....."
when he heard the sounds,
Henry had an ominous feeling about it, followed by the sounds, a pack of bees appeared in front of him.
"fucking cat"
Henry cursed, took a random root to run.
After running away from the bees for a while, Henry saw a lake
"tuff"
Without thinking much, Henry dived into it. After waiting for some time when he found no bee was around he came back to the surface.
"Damn Cat"
Henry roared.
"meow"
Not far away from Henry, The cat was looking at Henry with a mocking expression.
"you"
Henry ran towards it, the cat began to run again
.
.
.
.
After some time of chasing
a black coloured figure appeared outside a cave
"That bastard cat went inside the cave. Once I catch you, I will skin you alive"
Henry entered the cave while cursing the cat.
At the same time, a kid appeared outside the cave and shouted
"Boss boss boss"
4 more kids appeared.
"What happened Redlap?"
"I saw him entering into the cave"
"Are you afraid?" the kid who is supposed to be boss asked
"No"
others answered.
"Then let's go"
Following the voice, everyone entered the cave.
