Chapter 5 - THE RUMOURNATOR

---

It seemed like Sam was in shock, so he covered his mouth in disbelief. Then to everyone's surprise he said, "I knew it! You are not the typical cute person. I knew it that you were a ninja auntie

trying to steal my tiffin during recess every day in class. I always had a suspicion about you covering your mouth. You covered it because you are a ninja, not because you were trying to be cute but actually because you were trying to hide yourself drooling over my tiffin."

Sam continued, "I always knew it, so I brought this special necklace that summons 'The Rumournator,' aka Colony Auntie, who will protect my tiffin. She is a well-trained professional colony auntie, proficiently skilled in gathering information like a vacuum cleaner sucking up the last pit of dust and sharing it like a monthly ration notice to every household."

Sam summoned The Rumournator, and she instantly used a special attack called 'Steel Tongue Gossip.' She trapped Chingla in her skill, and both of them started gossiping with a steel tongue that could go on for hours. Chingla tried to defend herself from the Steel Tongue Gossip, but since she was also secretly a colony auntie, she couldn't help but continue gossiping.

The others slowly tried to approach Sam when The Rumournator used her Trump card, 'Colony Connection,' adding a very spicy topic which no one could resist: 'yesterday's neighbor quarrel.' Everyone was affected by this Trump card, and no one could resist discussing this topic.

Everyone wanted to know why the neighbors were fighting. The spicy topic that no one could resist was about a husband slapping his wife, saying, "It is written in the Bible that a woman is made from a rib of a man. Why are you getting over my head?" The woman slapped back, saying, "Then is it written in the Bible that you should slap a woman?" Everyone wanted to know why they were fighting.

Even July Boy seemed to have woken up from this spicy topic. Ah, wait, he's going somewhere. He went near the socket. What's he going to do? He took out his phone and charged it, then went back to sleep again. (He sleeps all day because he plays games all night.) It seems like July Boy has a lot of defense and resistance against the attack, or maybe he's just living in his own world. Sam looked at him in disappointment.

Anyways, back to everyone. Everyone seemed to be really engaged in the topic. They asked the Colony Auntie why the neighbors were fighting yesterday, eagerly ready to hear the reason.

The Colony Auntie paused for a while, using her hidden skill 'Curiosity Killed the Cat.' With this move, she made everyone extra curious about the reason. To add a little more masala, she took out her tobacco container (sada daba) and consumed the tobacco to enter her final form as Colony Auntie-Sada Master. She then opened her mouth and was about to speak. Everyone was very curious, their eyes wide open and ears perked. She said, "Yesterday, the neighbors were fighting because... is... a... conjunction..."

Before she could complete her words, suddenly Roslin came running through the door and said, "Tomorrow is the last day for submitting your assignment!"

Hearing Roslin, Sam got really scared and woke up, sweating buckets. This terrified him more than the rest of the dream because he still hadn't completed the summer assignment, and now it's winter.
