“ Kin, are you sick ? “ asked Sonia Robert with a feeling of worry.
“ I'm fine Sonia, “ reply Kin.
The two of them were sitting next to each other in the bar stool of the basement of Dhananjaya Guest House.
“ Do I look like I'm sick ? “ asked Kin, while pointing at his face.
“ No. Only you are more silent today, “ reply Sonia.
“ Kin, “ call Gavin from the sofa which is in the middle of the basement. He sat next to Cassandra.
Kin turned his chair towards Gavin.
“ Relax, Leta is coming, “ Gavin said with a smile.
Kin laughed at Gavin's words. “ Gavin, You sound like Sonia, “ reply Kin.
“ You can doubt my prediction, but what about the woman next to me ? “ asked Gavin while pointing at Cassandra with her thumb.
Kin flinched, his laughter gone and his face flushed red. He looked at Cassandra who was smiling at him.
“ Cassandra, you can't get into my mind and tell everyone the contents, “ Kin said.
Cassandra laughed at Kin's words. “ Quiet Kin, only we know about it, “ reply.
Then Kin turned his gaze towards Sonia. “ Sonia, promise to keep your mouth, “ he said.
“ You know, I'm not a typical person who cares about other people's business. So you can forget if I know the heartbreaking feeling you're feeling, “ Sonia replied, then She downed red wine right out of the bottle.
“ Wrenching ? Am I that sad ? “ ask Kin.
Sonia put her bottle on the table. Then he rubbed his lips with his arm. “ You are pathetic and apprehensive simultaneously Kin. What is Aries effect ? “ says Sonia.
Kin laughed while shaking his head.
“ Hey Sonia. To me you are one of the most beautiful women in this city. Can you drink wine with a glass ?. You look like a pirate, “ said Gavin.
Sonia turned her seat facing towards Gavin. “ You know Buffalo. Being a pirate is my dream, “ he said.
Gavin turned his face towards Cassandra who was laughing beside him. “ You see, He always has an answer, “ said Gavin.
“ But I'm a fan, “ said Cassandra.
“ What do you bring ? “ Sonia said to Nicko, staring at the white plastic bag in Nicko's hand.
Nicko stopped his steps and looked towards Sonia. “ I recorded the key points of the book I read and wrote it on paper, “ Nicko replied while showing the plastic bag He was carrying.
“ Nick, if it matters. At least you brought it in a bag, “ said Sonia.
“ Yes. But, I'd rather use a plastic bag, “ Nicko replied.
“ You know Nick. First, plastic bags are waste. Second, you look like you're carrying a vomit bag, “ continued Sonia.
Kin, Gavin and Cassandra laughed at Sonia Robert, as did Nicko.
“ Yes, I will remember it, “ Nicko said later.
“ Then, what have you learned Nick ? “ ask Gavin.
Nicko walked towards the bookshelf. Then he sat cross-legged on the floor facing right at Gavin and slipped his back into the bookshelf.
“ In this room, there are many books or writings written by the late Father Kin. So to make my job easier. I started to focus on looking for something only related to Ostheaven, “ Nicko said.
Then he pulled out a piece of paper from the plastic bag he had placed on his lap. “ There was one story that gave me goosebumps when I read it. There Kin's father wrote about the undead army, “ Nicko continued.
