METANOIA, A Wonder Place

Episode 7's

            Arya came out of the kitchen with a large bowl of mashed potatoes that had been camped with vegetables and other nuts, behind him Arie followed him by carrying a glass teapot containing lemon juice and passion fruit in it, must feel fresh and delicious.

            Mom makes a special warm porridge for kake, she looks happy to gather and eat with her family, like this. Kake did not even look as quiet as I had thought before, he chatted with us at the dinner table, and occasionally told us about his experiences, and some funny jokes I've never heard before.

            Maybe our voices were heard up to the top floor, Lavi appeared in the doorway, in the middle of the story massalu tense kake, “you did not call me?” his voice made us speechless, and sure enough we did forget, kake story very dear left the goods for a moment.

             “Lavi!” Uncle's voice happily approached and hugged him tightly, Lavi hugged him back, between us I think only his eyes showed no confusion at all to the reaction of the man, “un Gray, I think, long time no see.”

            “You've grown very big.” Uncle let go of his embrace, but each embraced his shoulders, stroked his head, made his hair and the small dust that clung to flying.

            “It feels like last we met your teeth are still dated in the middle, now look at you, very handsome.” My great uncle's laughing voice sounded like Santa Klaus to me, and his laughter was contagious, making me laugh.

            “Surely there will be many girls chasing you here.” The temptation of the uncle who still did not end as well, while patting him on the shoulder, and telling him to sit beside him, Lavi only chuckled in response.

            “What are you doing up there?” Uncle began to ask, glancing at the box that had been carried by Lavi.

            “Just replace some light bulbs.”

            “This house does need a lot of repairs, if you want I can help you.”

            “No, it is not necessary, we have enough trouble you.” Dad immediately replied when the uncle offered his help.

            “You are not at all troublesome, after all we are family.” On the back of his brother with

the laughter that accompanies.

             “After all, I will also need your help”

he said with a gentle smile to father and Lavi.

            “Our family used to have farmland, quite large, but because now I live alone, who live in a small town almost like this village, I can't take care of it anymore. Maybe, if we are together we can restore its glory again.” Uncle spoke in a soft voice like a plea, his eyes like while imagining a very beautiful past.

            “I think it's worth trying,” said Lavi who gave the spirit of uncle's eyes.

             “I don't know but it looks like, good too.” Dad smiled warmly, and made uncle even more excited.

            And that's how this long lunch ended, after which it all split up, doing its own thing. Dad went with the kake, it looks like to the front porch, Lavi and uncle went around the house, maybe they will do an overhaul, Arya and Arie I don't know where they are, where they are, they disappeared as soon as lunch was over, such as deliberately avoiding the task of washing dishes, and the last I left was cleaning up the remnants of this food, while mom washed the dishes.

            Mother was silent, either my feelings or my mother looked more reserved today. His gaze slipped into the dark forest before him, even until I finished cleaning everything up and saying goodbye, mother just smiled and said thanks, slowly and gently slid from her lips.

            I don't know what I did afterwards, maybe going around the house would be good, but I said the other one, I felt like I wanted to feel the cool breeze of the countryside, and without realizing I had reached the second floor, right in front of the great grandmother's painting again, for a long time it felt like the woman's eyes were looking at me, making me shudder if I saw her for a long time.

            There's a circular staircase across my side, at the end of the hall, maybe it was dark so I didn't

realizing earlier, now that the staircase was bathed in the sunlight that pierced through from the window beside it, my footsteps squeaked even louder as I approached the stairs.

            The handle was a little dusty, leaving a trail like no one had ever passed it before, it might just be Lavi, I thought. I rode it, carefully, each staircase sounding different and sometimes swaying, the wood was beautiful with carvings on the handle, and some of it was hollowed out either by termites or broken.

            Finally I got to the top safely, without letting any of the steps escape, I breathed a sigh of relief in the new hallway I saw, this hallway is full of doors that go somewhere, some of them are locked, and some can open easily, while most of them are very difficult to push the door open.

            Some of them were just empty rooms and some contained mattresses complete with cabinets and tables, but simpler than the ones in my room or Arie. Maybe it used to be for the guest room or the maid's room, I walked through the hallway, until I reached the middle of the room with a circular staircase right in the middle, I do not know where the stairs will take me, on it there is a circular door, like the door of my old tree house, but this is a circle, as I remember this house there are only three floors, there are only three floors, and right now it feels like I'm on the third floor, what that door leads to the attic, I don't know .

            Just as I was about to step foot up, Arya and Arie walked out of the room in front of me, “what are you doing there?”

            “What are you doing?” sahut Arie right as I asked.

            “We just browsed” Arya replied while approaching me.

            “about what is above?” he said without hesitation stepping foot onto the screeching rungs of the stairs, I followed after a few steps behind him.

            The wind hit me when I reached the end of the stairs, there was a small terrace with seating around it, Arya I saw she had taken a position to sit down and let the wind blow her hair, she seemed to enjoy it a lot.

            I am still fixated on seeing this beautiful scenery, this house is completely surrounded by forest, from up here I can see a bit of tree-covered village houses, Arie caught up with us, his lamb in the wind as his head passed through the small door, making him have trouble looking around.

            He immediately took a seat beside Arya, while still trying to tidy up his messy red hair in the wind. My gaze was fixed on the faint mountain range in front of me, only to realize, it turned out that this place was also close to the mountain, maybe I could climb occasionally, the forest below also looked friendly, even seen from up here, it must be harmless to explore it alone.

            Arie has just been able to enjoy this beautiful and peaceful scenery, he was carried by the wind into daydreams, along with Arya, and seemed to start getting sleepy. I sat down across them, a silly thought that made me curious flashed through my mind, did the twins also imagine the same thing.

            Thinking about it made me laugh a little, as little as possible so as not to get caught by them and make them angry, it didn't hurt to get swept away in the imagination this time.
