METANOIA, A Wonder Place

Episode 19's

            “In addition to the time of the opening of new attractions, this lake” said uncle, “it should be a happy day for everyone, he said, and our business should be successful thanks to the event” uncle added, while referring to the fishing gear, which is neatly arranged on the wall.

            It seems like uncle will open a fishing shop in the past, considering the place is close to the lake, it is not a bad idea for a business, it is clear that the shop will be crowded.

            “They are like revenge, going to happen a few decades before, when they were expelled” Mama continued, his face looks lost someone valuable in the incident.

            “They drowned everyone?” Ask me carefully.

            “Not all, there are some who managed to survive” replied Uncle Milo.

            Mama walked inside, and came back with a photo in her hand, “ini David, she's my other son” Mama showed me her picture, the man looks the same age as Lavi, maybe one or two years older.

            “What happened to him?” i asked.

            “She disappeared when incidentebut” said Mama, her face sad, but still trying to smile.

            “Disappeared?” I asked, I thought he was drowned too.

            “All the flames disappeared, no bodies were found, the lake is like swallowing everything” uncle Milo answered my question.

            “How can it?” Ask me again, I still don't think through, and try to digest all the stories.

            “No one knows, sometimes you will find their clothes stuck, or floating in the lake, but no corpse” Mama jabbed me, “all who disappeared that day were pronounced dead” continued mama, and stroked my head gently.

            “We cannot bury them properly, so once a year there will be a ceremony, on this lake to remember those who disappeared” Mama explained.

            “But every year, people come less and less,” Mama tells me.

            “At first quite a lot inhabited this place, but one by one of us chose to move, some want to forget, start a new beginning, and, and some more can not let go of his family who disappeared just like that, until finally we are left who survive. Some old neighbors who inhabit the cottage next door, and only we also always attend the ceremony every year with a routine.” Clear

Mamma.

            “It is too heavy to leave this place, although it is dangerous here” said uncle Milo.

            It doesn't feel like it's getting dark, I want to go back before dinner, “I have to go back”.

            “Calm down, Milo will deliver you”

            “It's not necessary, I've had a lot

kusong”.

            “Omong is empty, Milo brought you here, that means he also has to take you home” said Mama did not accept my refusal.

            But actually I came here myself, and just happened to meet Uncle Milo, “where is your home?” Ask uncle Milo.

            “At the end of Crimson street”.

            And again the faces of these two people were silent in shock, just like the face of Uncle Liam when he heard my answer, maybe I really should find out, he said, what caused this expression of their confusion.

            “You stay at Crimson House?” Mama asked.

            Mama took a very long breath, until her voice sounded so clear, “finally they are back!” yell mama, “I didn't expect to meet any of them in my own home” Mama stood up, glaring at me so loud, I'm really confused right now.

            His reaction was slightly different from the others, and far from what I had imagined, I did not expect at all this, from behind the huge body of Mama, I could see the face of Uncle Milo, who was looking at me with pity, my face was grinding for help, fortunately Uncle Milo immediately understood it, and helped me.

            At the pat of Mama's lap, who then let go of her tight embrace, I could finally breathe again.

            “Come I'll drive you” Uncle Milo walks in front of me.

            I say a short goodbye to Mama, be careful not to be hugged again, “I will visit again later”

            “Yes, come here often, we will always welcome you” said Mama with pleasure.

            I caught up with Uncle Milo, passing by the wooden board, from between which I could see the black water of the swamp that seemed to be very deep, and when I raised my face, I could see the black water of the swamp, the golden light of the sun shone down on the surface of the lake, its black water reflecting a gleam of white light, which danced over the calm surface of the water.

            Uncle told me to get into his big car, which when I was in it, smelled a very strong fish, “open the window” uncle ordered, “you will not be strong during the trip with this scent, and I do not want to clean your vomit.”

            I immediately obeyed his orders with pleasure, when the window opened the car now feels better, he said,

“this is how the smell of the car carrying fish” explained uncle Milo, and then start the car that began to drive. The rocky road made the car sway, fortunately I did not have to pass it again on foot, I forgot this road was far enough for the walker, thankfully uncle Milo delivered me.

            “What do you think?” Uncle Milo asked, seeing me daze.

            “No”, “what is the story true, I mean about the women who drowned it?” Ask me again, I was a little curious whether it was true or just a rumor circulating.

            “True or not it depends on how you respond,” said Uncle Milo, “ at that time the incident was very chaotic, everyone panicked, everyone panicked, so I didn't pay much attention to what really happened.”

            “Those horrible women are really back? Or just someone who does mischief?” Ask me again, “ya, although ignorant late” connect me.

            Uncle glanced at me for a moment, and back watching the road, “if you're really curious, you can find the tau in the library” said Uncle Milo, then continued “the obvious, that day I lost my sister, I let my guard down and let her join the group on board.”

            “I'm sorry” I said, hearing the story of Uncle Milo who lost his sister, I feel guilty for asking.

            We reached the end of the road, and just a small turn, we arrived at the front of the house, only a few minutes, Lavi and Uncle Gray to catch up with us.

            “Where have you been?” Lavi asked, and seeing the foreign man who delivered me, “this uncle Milo” I introduced him with Lavi, who then shook his hand.

            “I just delivered him” replied Uncle Milo.

            “Milo!” uncle Gray got out of the car and said hello, “what are you doing here?” Uncle Gray asked Milo.

            “Thank you for delivering me” I told him.

            “Milo this is my friend, we used to fish together,” uncle introduced him again, and invited him to come in, join us for dinner.

            Uncle Milo tried to resist him, but Uncle Gray cleaned up hard, finally gave up on him, and now sat down with us all at the dinner table.

            Dinner now seems more crowded, and my cuisine looks more special today, “from anywhere

ye? It seems like all day this is not home,” mom asked me at dinner.
