Chirping birds were returning to their nests, making the evening alive. The sound of birds chirping, children playing in the park, slow and peaceful breeze made the evening even more lively. Until it ended with a complaint.
"Why didn't I get any weapon?" LiXifeng complained.
"Cause you're the referee." Kevin said, handing over a bow and arrow to Clera.
"Why made me the referee? I don't wanna be one." He complained again.
Kevin had endured these types of conversation for years, so it shouldn't piss him for sure... Not this time.
"Look, referee are important for every game except few, and this game-more like fight, requires a referee." He explained as he took out his phone from his black trouser's pocket. "What if the opponent cheats and win, that won't be fun anymore. Therefore, we had decided to make you the referee. Understand?" Kevin finished explaining and went to make a call, not bothering to hear an answer from him.
Li Xifeng made a quiet sigh and sat on the grass.
Clera was most probably sitting quietly on a chair, slowly arranging the winner's reward on the table. Food- lots of food as reward. Lobsters, fish, octopus, chicken wings, beef, bread, pastries, beer, and some crispy looking goose meat which was neatly arranged and decorated with some spices.
Li Xifeng had lay down on the grass, his hands worked as pillow. He was admiring the magnificent nature, gazing at the orange-yellow sky, floating cream coloured clouds and flying birds.
I let out a sigh and sat on the grass beside him-ready to zone out.
"GUYSSS! I'm goin to call them myself." He shouted and dashed towards their homes. Excitement was clearly written on his face... but something about his excitement didn't felt right. As if, something big is coming, as if, his one of the biggest dream... or goal was going to come true.
The sudden arrival of Clera made it even more mysterious, especially the way she looks at me, as if, she already knows me from ages that I can't count. She too was mysterious... but strangely interesting. Her quiet and calm composure, mature look with sharp eyes which may detect any lie, her androgynous attitude and body language was enough to make her look more dangerous.
It was enough to make me interested in her, in a way I can't ignore no matter what I do. Her presence was enough- enough to make someone interested or feel like a prey.
