He approached the table, and after having planted all the preparations, he began377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Oc4ATn8jU
pouring some orangey looking liquid into each of those mugs.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKPj8m11N8
“There you go.” He said as he finished pouring, “This will do you good.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgByPigV4k
“Thank you.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmlUSzsMOj
“You must drink all of it.” He told me as he grabbed hold of one of those mugs.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtclbSWA0QL
“Ouch!” I complained, “Too hot.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJtAYSeXIy
“That is how it is served, and how it should be taken.” He went on to sit quite377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2Dj28Gklt
comfortably on an old dusty chair across that table. He drank his share in one swift377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh4YgEbRIJ
gulp, and then he burped as he lit some sort of stick which he then placed in his377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIbxSGMbhp
mouth. He seemed to be sucking on it and every time he did, the timid fire at the end377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqNayY1yDe
of it grew for a moment, before fading again. Curiosity was pouring from his eyes and377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OmbMjRtfC
lips now, just as that liquid had poured from that metal pot.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd84cWOI3L
“That was the beginning.” I cut off any further insistence...377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OESd5qJ5n
“The rest is all in here, huh?” He tried to sound uncaring, but I could see right377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwMelKVY6z
through him.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq3nre4FHO
“You are meant to read it.” I decided to indulge in the insisting game as well, and as377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIOCCKuJK7
I stood up, I fondly gazed at that notebook.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW1yif6kY2
“Right.” He grabbed hold of it and placed it upon his lap, “According to you, that ol’377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul4vSa0SjF
fool wanted me to...” And then he opened it...377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXA5wwDzQ0
I slowly began making my way to the next room, for there was something that377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIwOHsHaq3
easily caught my eye the moment I set foot into his place. “In there you will learn how377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQC6jTx14f
I made it to where you found me... waiting for you.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRgxNtOY7K
This large box of clean glass filled to the brim with bubbling water, and in it, there377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqSzIEU9wJ
were these weird samples of life swimming back and forth. Restlessly.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWNcXf2e8B
They reminded me of all those that I had met; in the way in which they could see377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ216SN3Ambw
the world in its entirety, but always constricted by the invisible walls, we all have377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXThBqEBS0
around ourselves. They also reminded me... of myself.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHwgcTWCPC
“You know, at my age, this may take a while.” He flipped the first page with his left377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7iboSiOKj
hand while his right went for a bigger pair of glasses. “Quite a while in fact.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdUspvYd9w
“You must go through all of it,” I remarked, “and understand.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmxo9vhKDf
“Wish I had something better than tea to palliate the process though.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeDZmSXtln
He murmured.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCVvN2z9qq
“I will be in the next room,” I spoke softly.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Pb4b2dE4
“Oh, you like aquariums, do you?”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0W5bIVXbz
“Aquariums...” I murmured...377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbshYUDmZAK
“We can talk all about it later; but for now, I think you should grab some rest.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFZHNrnFAa
He did not even look at me, his eyes were already too busy scurrying through those377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxouZyu6ST
first pages.377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIXO6o6Iwu
“There is quite a comfortable couch in there as well. Why don’t you give it a try?377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvxVVs3aVH
Don’t worry, I will call for you when I am done with this.”377Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxIpMtGqwK
“I just might.”
And with that, I left him to it..
