"Ava, you can bring flowers or a garland," Layla spoke through Ava' curse smartphone and the latter nodded. Meanwhile, I was struggling with how to break it to them that they weren't invited. Before I could, Layla asked, "When is the funeral?"
"I will text you the details when everything is set," I said, unable to find the words to break it to them, seeing their earnestness. But I did warn Ava, "You need to behave yourself around the cyborg animals. They are not your pets, but beings with sentience. Otherwise, I will personally kick you out."
"Don't worry, I know what I did wrong. After the funeral, we will be best of friends. Just you see," Ava assured me solemnly but for some reason, something told me that whatever she was planning would blow up in my face.
"Great," I uttered, not wanting to waste breath and let nature take its course. I was done trying to control every little detail. Besides, it was too late now. I should have never caved and invited them to the funeral.
