On that very hot day, Riki smiled as he watched the children and workers who came to enjoy the drinks he had made especially for them.
Even though he had used up a lot of avocados, young coconuts, and jackfruit, seeing their smiles made it all worth it.
"It's a shame that so many coffee trees need to be cut down, Riki. They all have some kind of disease, which the professionals say is due to too much fertilization, an overdose," said Evan, who had just arrived, carrying a plastic cup filled with drink and a plastic spoon.
"All of them?" asked Riki.
Evan shook his head, "No, only some of them. By the way, is he feeling better?" asked Evan, pointing at Anton with his chin.
Riki hadn't told Evan what had happened to Anton, so Evan only knew that Anton was sick.
"A lot has happened. He's better now, but he needs some time alone," said Riki.
"Then why did he come here?" asked Evan, finally sitting down next to Riki.
