"Where had you been? What took you so long?" I heard a familiar voice spoke.
I looked away so as not to be caught eavesdropping. Even if looking away I continued to listen.
"I apologize for taking so long outside Miss Asmia," Cyrus bowed his head, "the cold wind outside is good".
His guardian – who now has her hands on her waist looking displeased – said sternly, "don't do that ever again. You have been warned."
Oh no, he was given a warning, he should be more careful from now on. In this place, children that misbehave and do not abide by the adult's instructions are given a warning. These warnings are not to be taken lightly because once a child receives three warnings, they would be taken away by three muscular men. I stayed in this place long enough to have witnessed a child being taken away after a final warning. I wasn't able to see that child ever again after that incident.
