METANOIA, A Wonder Place
Episode 2
This year, and the following year, is the year of Arya and Arie. They might
will be the next prom queen, “you will definitely be very popular
in your new school,” I hope my answer can please “ya, but in the countryside.“
After hearing the answer, I'd rather be quiet, maybe that's what she needs, and better.
Arya and Arie are both popular, but Arya doesn't really care about it, she seems to flow with the atmosphere, and accept what it is.
Arie, she's the most stubborn, probably from a mother, to a child of her age, who's too young, to know what she wants to be, and how to reach it. It was amazing for me, who at this time was even doubtful, how much longer I would be able to survive, with a body like this, but Arie already knew what she wanted.
“Evening” shouted Arya from below, Arie instantly went down without saying anything to me. Dinner this time, there were only the four of us, father and cavi would probably be until tomorrow morning, mother said as I asked about them.
Without a father at the table, mother's cooking is very simple, only spaghetti with meatballs covered in mother-style sausage, and one special Arie drawstring cheese bowl, which is a special dish, it's still good.
Dinner was quiet, with Arie standing still, and mother giving her a bowl of shaved cheese. I guess, he couldn't possibly resist the temptation of the cheese, and sure enough, he ate it right away. It was like being swept away by the waves, his frown was instantly gone, and he ate voraciously, occasionally teseringai with the pleasure of cheese.
That night, I heard my mother talking to Arie, maybe persuading her and giving her some promises. Their conversation was short and very slow, every time I put my ears to try to hear, Arie's voice added slowly, like she knew someone was eavesdropping on their conversation, I finally gave up and fell asleep without realizing it.
In the dream this time, I was standing in the middle of a forest that I did not recognize yet, but it felt very familiar. It's natural that I don't recognize this forest, I'm hardly even a forest-tender who is truly a forest, even though I love nature and the trees. The strange thing is, the feeling as if I knew this forest, has been a long time.
The rough sound of the car woke me up, I looked from the corner of my bedroom window, father and Lavi came out of the dusty mobi, as it has traveled dozens of miles of road without asphalt, so that dust and sand stick to each side and corner.
When I went down to breakfast, I saw Arie, seemed to finish some books that would be packed, his face did not look excited, but he still forced his body to continue.
Lavi sat on the bench beside me, there was sand chips on his face, “you drove all night?” Ask the mother, who saw the faces of the father and Lavi, like not sleeping for a few days. “Bite, then sleep” said, patting his son's shoulder, and switch to give a kiss on dad's cheek.
“other time invite Arya, maybe staying up late will be useful” I guess, I agree with mother's advice this time.
Lavi stood up to leave the table and stroked my head, until my hair fell apart, I saw her trying to stroke Arie's head, but she quickly moved her head away. It's frustrating
sometimes, for some reason he likes to do it, making my hair fall apart, and the flakes of bread and sugar in his hands move my hair.
“we don't need to move, I'll be fine” I said to mom, it doesn't feel good, if we all have to move house just because of me, but she said nothing, and just smiled at my forehead.
“This is for the good of us all” whispered the mother slowly and gently in my ears, I did not understand what she meant, and before I could ask, I did not know, mom left the dining room after dad. “What does it mean?” I asked Arya, who happened to be passing by, while carrying a few more empty boxes to fill.
His face looked confused, so I repeat mother's words, “ said mother, we moved for the good of all of us. What danger will there be, if we don't move?” he put the boxes in his arms, and bribed a large piece of fine sugar-yet-untiled bread from my plate. “You know, I still haven't finished the writing” said with a mouth that is still full “Ya” replied me.
“Father's saving from previous writing, it's almost gone.”
The next time Arya and Arie are accompanying dad, the, even if they're young and don't have a sim yet, I don't think there's gonna be a cop picking you up in the middle of the woods.
Dad told me about dinner, about the house we were going to live in, and the forest not far from the back of the house. Lavi occasionally added, and there was a sense of awe in each of his comments, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
The next time, Arie told a long story, and not just at dinner, even when they had just returned from accompanying dad. It was as if her doubts about moving a few weeks ago had gone away, and were replaced with incredible vigor, yet every now and then I found her speechless, like thinking of something.
“Finally I will have my own room,” exclaimed Arie happily, father chuckled when he heard his words, “you can decorate it as you please later, and you are Arya, you are, I hope not to stay in your new room later.”
During this time Arya and Arie always share a room, because our house that used to feel spacious and large, now
it felt cramped, as we all got bigger. Maybe it was the best decision to move, seen from the faces of all of them, who are very happy about this move.
The house is very large and spacious, in their stories, not even just the house, the yard is very broad. I can't wait to get there, imagining it, I
carried away in a dream. The same dream as before, I was standing in the middle of the forest.
Very beautiful, but this time I feel not alone, can be heard by me, the friction of footsteps in between
the grass, and a large and tall figure seemed to be watching me from behind the trees, was not clearly visible to me.
I woke up with a bang from outside the house, when I looked, saw some officers, were moving some prabotans, and boxes that seemed heavy. Remembering that this was the day I moved, my mother looked over from behind the door, and told me to get ready for breakfast and make a move.
My legs were several times hooked, boxes piled up on the floor, like queuing up to be loaded into a truck. Lavi seems unable to stay still, and continues to help put things into the truck, while Arie he seems to worry about the contents of the box he carries.
“About what it is” I asked mother, who while pouring another pancake of my plate, “maybe, some of the chapped things in her room, she said,” just remembered in my head, if
Arie loved broken display objects, such as ceramic or glass sculptures, and some crystal balls were once seen in his room by me.
Arya passed me, while pushing a very large box, almost as high as her thigh “what is it?” ask me curious, about what he loaded in there, “kaku” tool is just that he replied.
But I can already imagine, how many and various contents, “your strange discovery?“ Lavi asked half-mockingly, while helping her lift the box, and Arya who was just shrugging, without commenting anything.
Finally all the goods can be put in, and it can be concluded, most or at least, one third of the contents of the truck are Aryan goods.
We were preparing to leave, mother had a brief goodbye with some neighbors, and when I stepped out
home, looks Arya and Arie are saying goodbye to some of his friends. From the back they look similar, the matching sky blue shirt, combined with the white shorts they wear, looks very harmonious.
They maintained their resemblance, deliberately wearing matching clothes, almost every time they left the house. Their separation ended with a hug that seemed very tight, and a few drops of tears from his friends.
