"I am making a nutritious soup for you." her grandma said, stirring the pot. "I saw it on the television. It's supposed to be very good for your recovery."
Akai chuckled. "Grandma, don't believe everything they say on TV."
Her grandma turned around, a hint of scolding in her voice. "You go and get changed... How many times do I have to tell you not to drink cold water after coming from outside?"
Akai smiled mischievously. "Grandma, see, I have poured only a little amount."
But her grandma was firm. "Go and get changed." she urged, shaking her head.
Akai cleaned the glass and put it back in the cabinet before heading to her room, still smiling to herself.
Akai later came down wearing a comfortable shirt and skirt, her hair tied up in a ponytail. Her grandma was waiting for her on the sofa, and as soon as she noticed Akai, she called out, "Come here."
