Part 3/8:

Adjacent to Akma’s thriving business was another soup seller, Mama N, who had dedicated over two decades to the trade. Sadly, her shop stood empty as the customers flocked to Akma’s location, leaving Mama N in profound sadness and confusion. She could not comprehend why people who once cherished her soup were now ignoring it for Akma’s offerings.

One evening, as Mama N sat alone in her shop, she reflected on the sudden turn of events. Despite her attempts to adjust her recipes and even lower her prices, nothing succeeded in attracting the customers back. The sights of her empty shop and the sight of Akma’s bustling line filled her with despair. Yet, she held on to hope and began to suspect something unusual was at play, particularly after noting an unidentifiable sweetness in Akma’s soup.
