Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 17 - Questions
...***...
Elvina stepped over to William and Rei who were on the back porch. After finishing dinner, they decided to chat for a while while staring at the gathering of stars in the sky.
Elvina approached the chair made of rattan, sat leaning back and began busying herself struggling with the screen of her laptop.
Because of her annoying boss, Elvina inevitably has to repeat all the reports.
While Elvina sat in a rattan chair, William and Rei sat by the pool and enjoyed a quiet night.
Rei sat looking at the shining stars. Dotted adorn the night sky. The moon shines beautifully, making the dark night brighter.
"I still feel like this isn't real. I thought, we'll never see each other again for good" William said. Rei looked at him.
Elvina who was busy struggling, then fell silent to stop her activities. He looked at William and Rei who were sitting by the pool.
Elvina put her laptop on the glass table. He walked up to the two men and sat down near them.
"I also did not expect that what I had hoped for all this time, would turn out to be true. God still gives us a chance to be together. After a year of separation, we can finally meet and regroup like we used to." Elvina smiled knot. William nodded in agreement.
"We used to think you were dead. Especially after people gave up looking for you, and declared you dead with an undiscovered body." William lowered his head.
"But, even so, we both always hope and pray that you live and are always under God's protection." Elvina added.
Rei had been listening silently since. He was happy because it seemed, the arrival of Rei to this place was the right thing. Because what he's been looking for is here. What has been a question mark, it seems, will slowly be answered little by little.
"But may I ask you another question?"
"What do you want to ask?" Elvina.
"Ask me. We'll answer everything." William chimed.
"You have told me many things about being with you, long ago. But, you guys are not talking about my family at all. Do I have any family besides the two of you?" ask Rei.
Elvina and William suddenly fell silent. Both of them seem confused as to how to explain it.
"Why are you quiet? Does that mean I have no other family than the two of you?"
Rei made Elvina and William aware of his daydream. The two of them looked at each other and then before long looked at each other.
"You have a family" replied Elvina.
"really?" Rei smiled hearing that. He was happy when he found out that he did not live alone in this world. He has a family, just like everyone else he has met.
"But..why do you guys seem to have trouble answering questions, just now? Does anything make it difficult for you to explain?" The look on Rei's face turned confused.
