He approached the table, and after having planted all the preparations, he began396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83kojnhlOx
pouring some orangey looking liquid into each of those mugs.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf70eNS8Pp
“There you go.” He said as he finished pouring, “This will do you good.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoikoe1Ly42
“Thank you.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUCGWReMd6
“You must drink all of it.” He told me as he grabbed hold of one of those mugs.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNlx7z3eBA
“Ouch!” I complained, “Too hot.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms34DecODu
“That is how it is served, and how it should be taken.” He went on to sit quite396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkarENHHdNC
comfortably on an old dusty chair across that table. He drank his share in one swift396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNrMq4fB3j
gulp, and then he burped as he lit some sort of stick which he then placed in his396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9xhCDRLgH
mouth. He seemed to be sucking on it and every time he did, the timid fire at the end396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS1rfNzfSD
of it grew for a moment, before fading again. Curiosity was pouring from his eyes and396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQzkcWSvNT
lips now, just as that liquid had poured from that metal pot.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc428XJBH3A
“That was the beginning.” I cut off any further insistence...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv77WOaWUm
“The rest is all in here, huh?” He tried to sound uncaring, but I could see right396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJKVmNEKJm
through him.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjjjwnpkk5
“You are meant to read it.” I decided to indulge in the insisting game as well, and as396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUxT0Rbtwo
I stood up, I fondly gazed at that notebook.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HTUpOLPt2
“Right.” He grabbed hold of it and placed it upon his lap, “According to you, that ol’396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn2y8JRarF
fool wanted me to...” And then he opened it...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3M5Hat3uD
I slowly began making my way to the next room, for there was something that396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2q53WRHuk
easily caught my eye the moment I set foot into his place. “In there you will learn how396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJl9Sfulka
I made it to where you found me... waiting for you.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuk8BojPaL
This large box of clean glass filled to the brim with bubbling water, and in it, there396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH20mz3NaCa
were these weird samples of life swimming back and forth. Restlessly.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHScBsQvu7
They reminded me of all those that I had met; in the way in which they could see396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKK6MintLe
the world in its entirety, but always constricted by the invisible walls, we all have396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUbQJpHBxA
around ourselves. They also reminded me... of myself.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7NnQz0ApL
“You know, at my age, this may take a while.” He flipped the first page with his left396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif3N4IG0y7
hand while his right went for a bigger pair of glasses. “Quite a while in fact.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYVnpqri3P
“You must go through all of it,” I remarked, “and understand.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dE68fKQuB
“Wish I had something better than tea to palliate the process though.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIXteJVoWD
He murmured.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj8DwilXWr
“I will be in the next room,” I spoke softly.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZrF4Y39my
“Oh, you like aquariums, do you?”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7tTmTIH75
“Aquariums...” I murmured...396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeIoHPm5J5
“We can talk all about it later; but for now, I think you should grab some rest.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFx7w7lPii
He did not even look at me, his eyes were already too busy scurrying through those396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOFpwxzolI
first pages.396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kq0JVQszu
“There is quite a comfortable couch in there as well. Why don’t you give it a try?396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvt3DjXO6s
Don’t worry, I will call for you when I am done with this.”396Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsKfm5s9Rp
“I just might.”
And with that, I left him to it..
