He approached the table, and after having planted all the preparations, he began294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCM3Cw1Cd3
pouring some orangey looking liquid into each of those mugs.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowPBK4Ors3
“There you go.” He said as he finished pouring, “This will do you good.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj5CJ6Lo15
“Thank you.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EROvR0lDw
“You must drink all of it.” He told me as he grabbed hold of one of those mugs.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdZeNT9poN
“Ouch!” I complained, “Too hot.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumeOyeT3qS
“That is how it is served, and how it should be taken.” He went on to sit quite294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdJvGrahmc
comfortably on an old dusty chair across that table. He drank his share in one swift294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8vsbPs94n
gulp, and then he burped as he lit some sort of stick which he then placed in his294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd09jDn0VCC
mouth. He seemed to be sucking on it and every time he did, the timid fire at the end294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4UHdEZUpJ
of it grew for a moment, before fading again. Curiosity was pouring from his eyes and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjnGF1AcoF
lips now, just as that liquid had poured from that metal pot.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXav7FOaNo
“That was the beginning.” I cut off any further insistence...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJgQFUG80G
“The rest is all in here, huh?” He tried to sound uncaring, but I could see right294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSadvAOKJpx
through him.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIPAZ7b111
“You are meant to read it.” I decided to indulge in the insisting game as well, and as294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6ggcPNXvw
I stood up, I fondly gazed at that notebook.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswBL3aDGNQ
“Right.” He grabbed hold of it and placed it upon his lap, “According to you, that ol’294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIe42QtKZM
fool wanted me to...” And then he opened it...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hobye3f8v
I slowly began making my way to the next room, for there was something that294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRmNYVFPzt
easily caught my eye the moment I set foot into his place. “In there you will learn how294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQCD4rlbGx
I made it to where you found me... waiting for you.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrVRWF1ifU
This large box of clean glass filled to the brim with bubbling water, and in it, there294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum1DQcgzoP
were these weird samples of life swimming back and forth. Restlessly.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZs6sZe5mf
They reminded me of all those that I had met; in the way in which they could see294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRJ3aXrWim
the world in its entirety, but always constricted by the invisible walls, we all have294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCNk2iFNRy
around ourselves. They also reminded me... of myself.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot8Y8VMACA
“You know, at my age, this may take a while.” He flipped the first page with his left294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iwH3pBiNh
hand while his right went for a bigger pair of glasses. “Quite a while in fact.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS1jIrtE3N
“You must go through all of it,” I remarked, “and understand.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkT5Xn91Ky
“Wish I had something better than tea to palliate the process though.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCr6uJM6sR
He murmured.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPqAvrF3gW
“I will be in the next room,” I spoke softly.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUGFG7MFwi
“Oh, you like aquariums, do you?”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGECg1ScpP6
“Aquariums...” I murmured...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHcWMDdRN6
“We can talk all about it later; but for now, I think you should grab some rest.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1flKCFghSE
He did not even look at me, his eyes were already too busy scurrying through those294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgW1rNiCUA
first pages.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Vikvz7IP
“There is quite a comfortable couch in there as well. Why don’t you give it a try?294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojVhWJQrOo
Don’t worry, I will call for you when I am done with this.”294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTmoylvkPf
“I just might.”
And with that, I left him to it..
