He approached the table, and after having planted all the preparations, he began656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ffdRRZiDA
pouring some orangey looking liquid into each of those mugs.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXlD1bBz50
“There you go.” He said as he finished pouring, “This will do you good.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBtdvW9vIZ
“Thank you.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3b7kUoBda
“You must drink all of it.” He told me as he grabbed hold of one of those mugs.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtem5pn9X4
“Ouch!” I complained, “Too hot.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezdmPLyDuh
“That is how it is served, and how it should be taken.” He went on to sit quite656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30mSgUYaE5
comfortably on an old dusty chair across that table. He drank his share in one swift656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy5U6NalkC
gulp, and then he burped as he lit some sort of stick which he then placed in his656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zJjUbQu3e
mouth. He seemed to be sucking on it and every time he did, the timid fire at the end656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4qM2zjxi2
of it grew for a moment, before fading again. Curiosity was pouring from his eyes and656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CcuG7tLSi
lips now, just as that liquid had poured from that metal pot.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugITOMy4pn
“That was the beginning.” I cut off any further insistence...656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhOG5utaeE
“The rest is all in here, huh?” He tried to sound uncaring, but I could see right656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnXmPnoDvx
through him.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvbh2RUijM
“You are meant to read it.” I decided to indulge in the insisting game as well, and as656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTtljU2Zxd
I stood up, I fondly gazed at that notebook.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMj9EMflzV
“Right.” He grabbed hold of it and placed it upon his lap, “According to you, that ol’656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYceUqE3Qc
fool wanted me to...” And then he opened it...656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFPXeNUjSs
I slowly began making my way to the next room, for there was something that656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPpi8PFhzb
easily caught my eye the moment I set foot into his place. “In there you will learn how656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq04EAV8vNz
I made it to where you found me... waiting for you.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ108gWYa5tw
This large box of clean glass filled to the brim with bubbling water, and in it, there656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUjtcia9RZ
were these weird samples of life swimming back and forth. Restlessly.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHldiJgsWhd
They reminded me of all those that I had met; in the way in which they could see656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUbCiQfwWC
the world in its entirety, but always constricted by the invisible walls, we all have656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7de7OXq6L
around ourselves. They also reminded me... of myself.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7zNxhuozN
“You know, at my age, this may take a while.” He flipped the first page with his left656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZV84VskdW
hand while his right went for a bigger pair of glasses. “Quite a while in fact.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tUTO9xuFY
“You must go through all of it,” I remarked, “and understand.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J2SSlXYfh
“Wish I had something better than tea to palliate the process though.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIykkE8abfc
He murmured.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqZiSsfj7D
“I will be in the next room,” I spoke softly.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDF3upj2u8
“Oh, you like aquariums, do you?”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRFwUmFcZh
“Aquariums...” I murmured...656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5a3Gby4hS
“We can talk all about it later; but for now, I think you should grab some rest.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEPdrXHh5s
He did not even look at me, his eyes were already too busy scurrying through those656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9tXjsdtO5
first pages.656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlCfS9LKvU
“There is quite a comfortable couch in there as well. Why don’t you give it a try?656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Yt9RJiWl
Don’t worry, I will call for you when I am done with this.”656Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tUdw0NiRA
“I just might.”
And with that, I left him to it..
