Morning sun rises over the HDB blocks as Nuha and Anas follow Ummi to the bustling wet market-bright, busy, and full of smells, colours, and friendly faces.
Today, the siblings have an important job:
take care of the family's blue basket.
Nuha nods proudly, and Anas pats the handle: Team!.
But markets are lively places.
There are puddles to dodge, stall owners to greet, leafy greens and red chillies to admire, and shiny fish scales that sparkle like tiny mirrors.
And in one distracted moment-
the blue basket disappears.
Gone. Just like that.
Nuha's tummy sinks. Anas's hands feel small. Together with Ummi, they must retrace their steps, ask for help, and search every familiar corner of the market.
