"I'm sorry, Unni…"
Heeya apologized after making a big mess by making her orange juice inexplicably (for her) explode in her hand, but that was the least of our concerns.
"It's OK, Heeya. It was just a freak accident", Haein assured her with a forced smile, but quickly turned my way after taking another, this time much bigger, gulp of her beer.
"Yui, we need to talk"
"Sure"
We both knew and understood what just happened and what it meant. We did indeed have a thing or two to talk about.
Calling Heeya over, I took out another crumbled banknote from my pocket and handed it over to the little girl. We were really running out of money now.
"Heeya, why don't you go grab another drink? Just be careful now and don't squeeze the can too tight this time, OK?"
"I'm sorry, Yui Unni. And thanks!"
She took the money gratefully and jogged into the shop.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?", I asked Haein.
"Yes"
