As they sat beneath the tamarind tree, Karson told his best friend Alexandro that he'd pick him up the next morning at precisely 5:30. But who would have thought? Even tamarind trees have ears-and it's not only them; something else was also listenin...

Alexandro and Karson have been best friends for the past two years until now. One day, they were walking back home together after an exhausting day at the university.
"Karson, I need a break; I cannot feel my legs, man!" Alexandro said while walking behind Karson, huffing and puffing. "How come you're walking so fast?"
"Because I'm doing my daily workouts properly, but you're not!" Karson replied as he kept on walking.
"No, man! It's because you stayed at your desk while slacking all day, not doing much... And I was the one who collected the notes while standing and searching among millions of books in the library for our assignment."
"Who said I was slacking? I was also preparing for the assignment!"
"What!? You were literally snoring at your desk when I got back from the library and entered our classroom!"
"No... I wasn't."
"No, you were! I even heard your snores."
"It wasn't mine..."
"Then whose was it in the empty classroom with only you in the evening?"
"It might be some ghosts or spirits."
"Oh, come on, man! Do you think I'll buy that?"
The other just chuckled.
As they both walked further, there was a dense tamarind tree on the way.

"Hey, man, I wasn't joking when I said I need a break. I seriously need to sit down somewhere... My legs are killing me! Can we go sit beneath that tamarind tree for a while?" Alexandro pointed toward the tamarind tree, which was located by the small vacant place at the side of the road. "After taking a small break and drinking some water, we can go home."
"But..." Karson looked at the tree, then around at the surrounding place with a little fright in his eyes.
"But what? Karson, we are not going to stay here for a longer time or anything! I just asked you to sit there for a while, just to drink some water and give my feet a break."
