He approached the table, and after having planted all the preparations, he began319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RTzdMcMSv
pouring some orangey looking liquid into each of those mugs.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoZZMmoQNZ
“There you go.” He said as he finished pouring, “This will do you good.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLfdUKDKBD
“Thank you.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCQUMxmPIy
“You must drink all of it.” He told me as he grabbed hold of one of those mugs.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr7djit0mJ
“Ouch!” I complained, “Too hot.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIWt6uVOi5
“That is how it is served, and how it should be taken.” He went on to sit quite319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPriFkpOUZB
comfortably on an old dusty chair across that table. He drank his share in one swift319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal360LyNnR
gulp, and then he burped as he lit some sort of stick which he then placed in his319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht4u9T39VI
mouth. He seemed to be sucking on it and every time he did, the timid fire at the end319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkaZnp0rZ2
of it grew for a moment, before fading again. Curiosity was pouring from his eyes and319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjqoQWlDTD
lips now, just as that liquid had poured from that metal pot.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFB69AnFrE
“That was the beginning.” I cut off any further insistence...319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZr86iRQdQs
“The rest is all in here, huh?” He tried to sound uncaring, but I could see right319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMIUXzNB7G
through him.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ItPbhHHQu
“You are meant to read it.” I decided to indulge in the insisting game as well, and as319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva9Qe4l77j
I stood up, I fondly gazed at that notebook.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMXUStSiov
“Right.” He grabbed hold of it and placed it upon his lap, “According to you, that ol’319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hs1NVGQkL
fool wanted me to...” And then he opened it...319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewTsJPDasC
I slowly began making my way to the next room, for there was something that319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGYwiv8HyV
easily caught my eye the moment I set foot into his place. “In there you will learn how319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dj0G4z75Q
I made it to where you found me... waiting for you.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZHAyFl2Q6
This large box of clean glass filled to the brim with bubbling water, and in it, there319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdRYv65xGi
were these weird samples of life swimming back and forth. Restlessly.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oBvRJMZxf
They reminded me of all those that I had met; in the way in which they could see319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RxhwvWCmo
the world in its entirety, but always constricted by the invisible walls, we all have319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DoKMvsC3y
around ourselves. They also reminded me... of myself.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLnb8uYBrt
“You know, at my age, this may take a while.” He flipped the first page with his left319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHreHY2ei5
hand while his right went for a bigger pair of glasses. “Quite a while in fact.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b6wjSleHd
“You must go through all of it,” I remarked, “and understand.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhED4hxI0k
“Wish I had something better than tea to palliate the process though.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGHSWg4AIE
He murmured.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljycIcM9Cj
“I will be in the next room,” I spoke softly.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nCdgoqoih
“Oh, you like aquariums, do you?”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjVr7VaSlw
“Aquariums...” I murmured...319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNtZuHcsen
“We can talk all about it later; but for now, I think you should grab some rest.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysUyU3YWFS
He did not even look at me, his eyes were already too busy scurrying through those319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5pB5hWdZH
first pages.319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTxQEOlHWv
“There is quite a comfortable couch in there as well. Why don’t you give it a try?319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW9ZHQsj9c
Don’t worry, I will call for you when I am done with this.”319Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh66Ic3r9Sk
“I just might.”
And with that, I left him to it..
