He approached the table, and after having planted all the preparations, he began334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS07PxmkyLI
pouring some orangey looking liquid into each of those mugs.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNdbGito3K
“There you go.” He said as he finished pouring, “This will do you good.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdswziiGtW
“Thank you.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwEQoFlmCs
“You must drink all of it.” He told me as he grabbed hold of one of those mugs.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV75Espnrs
“Ouch!” I complained, “Too hot.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz3xnNZyWO
“That is how it is served, and how it should be taken.” He went on to sit quite334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuSDiIMLze
comfortably on an old dusty chair across that table. He drank his share in one swift334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9JW1u1BWP
gulp, and then he burped as he lit some sort of stick which he then placed in his334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmqqe4yoec
mouth. He seemed to be sucking on it and every time he did, the timid fire at the end334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ18ZviICH
of it grew for a moment, before fading again. Curiosity was pouring from his eyes and334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEjomRYtnV
lips now, just as that liquid had poured from that metal pot.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDtxEnHVjn
“That was the beginning.” I cut off any further insistence...334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGHZbTSne6
“The rest is all in here, huh?” He tried to sound uncaring, but I could see right334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7wYTjEudt
through him.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxumFmQgwL
“You are meant to read it.” I decided to indulge in the insisting game as well, and as334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeGyaffZTj
I stood up, I fondly gazed at that notebook.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQablh6mEkV
“Right.” He grabbed hold of it and placed it upon his lap, “According to you, that ol’334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFSo4aN4Zj
fool wanted me to...” And then he opened it...334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HhWwhYlNV
I slowly began making my way to the next room, for there was something that334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS0zVfjOR9
easily caught my eye the moment I set foot into his place. “In there you will learn how334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOUMhURsup
I made it to where you found me... waiting for you.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz29I5hiC8
This large box of clean glass filled to the brim with bubbling water, and in it, there334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsh8vjH4Y8
were these weird samples of life swimming back and forth. Restlessly.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEpv3h344q
They reminded me of all those that I had met; in the way in which they could see334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngKaKQ0O5w
the world in its entirety, but always constricted by the invisible walls, we all have334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Fk80NxzR
around ourselves. They also reminded me... of myself.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTWdVwqEUM
“You know, at my age, this may take a while.” He flipped the first page with his left334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1XgZo4Vvf
hand while his right went for a bigger pair of glasses. “Quite a while in fact.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZirFz7ph3K
“You must go through all of it,” I remarked, “and understand.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DQMH2pdYa
“Wish I had something better than tea to palliate the process though.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo58gsBRIy
He murmured.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwgKKbC0UG
“I will be in the next room,” I spoke softly.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl6zAgBMYB
“Oh, you like aquariums, do you?”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYjKunYEeq
“Aquariums...” I murmured...334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SuhJBsvBl
“We can talk all about it later; but for now, I think you should grab some rest.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNk1mNDNc3
He did not even look at me, his eyes were already too busy scurrying through those334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vk1oKOcP2
first pages.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F5j9PZyxG
“There is quite a comfortable couch in there as well. Why don’t you give it a try?334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3KnGS01FK
Don’t worry, I will call for you when I am done with this.”334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DEHgTp5Wx
“I just might.”
And with that, I left him to it..
