ELLA AND MICHAEL

Don't Run! It's Dangerous!

When Michael turned his head, Marco immediately ran over, so that Michael would not take his book.

“SIAL!”

Deceived Michael immediately ran and followed Marco.

“Stop! Don't sprint. That's very dangerous.”

Michael was able to catch up with Marco as he descended the stairs near his home.

“Give it!”

Michael again asked for the book Marco brought.

“See it!”

Marco pointed to someone who was behind Michael.

“I will not be fooled again. Give it!”

“It.. Jim. That's Jim. There's Jim there.”

Michael turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Jim standing at the end of the stairs, looking at Michael and Marco fighting over books.

Michael also approached Jim, while Marco walked quickly to his house that was close.

Michal and Jim sat down at the bottom of the stairs for a quick chat.

Jim's real reason for coming there, to apologize to Michael, because he could not accompany Marco to come to Ella's book launch event.

“You know my nature, don't you? I can drink a ton of beer and not get drunk. But I'm always drunk every time I drink alone with a woman.”

Michael was silent without answering Jim.

“Say of elders, ‘History will form at night, alcohol and women meet. But it's different from my history. It's pitch-dark. Very dark.”

Jim began to look at the sky and bounced with his words.

“Jim.”

“Ya.”

“It's time you quit.”

“Clearly speak. Stop what?”

“Stop making things difficult for yourself by following me and Marco. Settle down and live comfortably.”

Jim sat up straight and looked into Michael's eyes.

“Move me or not, let me decide for myself, including following you. Why are you suddenly like this?”

“Did something happen to you? You look so moody. God, Shit. This must be because of that damn writer woman!”

“Does that mad woman make trouble again?”

“No.” replied Michael

“Don't lie to me. I'm sure he did something. I know you're lying to me. What was? Quickly tell me!”

Michael took a deep breath, then,

“I thought I ran away, because of my brother. Butterflies or whatever. Continues to escape from invisible objects. I thought it was all because of Marco, my own brother.”

“You mean?” Jim was confused by Michael's words.

“All of a sudden I thought, maybe it was actually me who wanted to escape and forced Marco to follow me.”

“Do not say so.”

“If life becomes very torturous, the easiest solution is to blur.”

Michael smiled and enjoyed the bitterness of life he had been through all this time.

Jim sat closer to Michael, then grabbed him and patted Michael on the shoulder.

As time passed, Michael and Jim returned to their homes.

When Michael arrived at home, he thought about moving, returning to his hometown first.

Michael remembered Jane's remark, that the nursing home hospital where Jane worked, was in need of labor.

Marco is also seen tidying up his book collection on the shelf.

Michael also intends to talk about his intentions to Marco.

“So, do you remember where we lived when we were kids? Where we live with mom.”

“Las Vegas's. City of Las Vegas.” replied Marco who was still busy arranging his book.

“Hmm. Is correct. What if we stay there? If you don't want to.”.

“I want.” replied Marco briefly.

“You sure?”
