Gavino clutched firmly the collar of the shirt worn by George. But he kept his voice down, so as not to be heard outside the house.
"Hi! You think I'm that kind of person? If I intend to harm you, I've been seeing you since the beginning I shot you in the neck!" George won't lose. He also tried to escape Gavino's pressure.
"Well!"
Finally Gavino took off the collar of the shirt he pulled. Then step towards the door of the house, to lurk outside the house.
"Do you want what they are?" muttered Gavino asked, upon seeing the five people out there. It's circling his car.
"Maybe they think that, this rickety house can't possibly have such a car." Gavino turned his head quickly, as George answered his murmur that was asking.
"It has. Don't look at me like that" George said again, with a sneering smile.
Gavino's eyes glared in shock, upon hearing the words spoken by George.
"Cihhah! Narcissistic."
"Shuttt!"
George placed his index finger in front of his mouth. Asking Gavino not to speak anymore. Especially with a word that grieves.
"Look! They approached" George's great-grandson, as the five men out there began to walk toward the door.
The two of them, looked at each other with a watchful attitude. Even George took out his firearm, which he always kept around his waist, covered with his shirt.
Anticipate if something happens to himself, which incidentally is a hunt king mafia.
Tok tok!
"Is there someone inside?"
Tok tok!
The door is knocked from the outside, with the sound of people asking the residents of the house.
"How's it?" ask George Gavino.
The one asked looked at the conditions of the people outside.
"Just open the door. Maybe they just happened to pass by, and look for lodging. But there's nothing around here."
"Now it is entering winter. Maybe they're scared, if it suddenly snows on the way."
Gavino nodded. Because right now, the weather is uncertain. Change of summer to winter.
Tok tok!
Before Gavino opened the door, there was another knock.
Kriett...
The door opened Gavino from the inside.
Lina looks like an adult of almost the same age, in front of Gavino's house.
"Excuse Me, Sir. Are we allowed to stay tonight?"
"According to the weather forecast, tonight will snow for the first time. So, we can't possibly continue on our far-away journey."
"We didn't find any lodging along the way near here. That's why we tried to knock on this door."
One of them, speaking of their intentions and purpose came to this house. Because outside conditions are much more dangerous with unpredictable weather.
"But this house is not as good as you might imagine" said Gavino, giving an explanation of the state of this house.
The person notices how the condition of Gavino's house at a glance. Then he said, "it's okay, sir. Importantly, it's much better than us continuing on our way."
Finally, Gavino allowed the five of them to enter the house.
George was silent, behind Gavino. He noticed how the people who had come to join him spent the night in this house. Tonight.
"Please sit. But, we have nothing for the banquet. While we also just arrived this afternoon, after a long time left the house." Gavino gave an explanation to the guests who came.
After saying so, the man sent one of his friends. To go outside the house. Take the things he mentioned earlier, which were in the car.
George revived the fireplace, to warm the bodies of his guests. Because the fireplace was extinguished, before they went to sleep.
Shortly after, the person who had left the house came back in. He also brought two boxes. Which most likely contains food and wine.
But it seems George remains vigilant. He slipped his hand into his waist, ready with a firearm just in case.
And so is Gavino. With the ability of the mafia system he had, he analyzed the people who were in front of him this time. Together with the two boxes that are now on the table.
(Ting )
'Who are they really?'
(These people are just ordinary good father travelers. They were all on their way to Rome. Their lifespan ranges from 30 to 35 years)
'Then, what's the contents of the two boxes they brought?'
(Ting )
(Food and drink)
(But they also have weapons, which are used just in case. If something had happened )
'What's harmless, if they stay in this house?'
(Ting )
(It doesn't seem. There's George who will be ready to protect your good father )
'Hemmm.. okay.'
(Ting )
Gavino breathed a sigh of relief. He did not need to worry, with the people in his house this time.
George looked at Gavino with his eyes narrowed. And he nodded his head as Gavino gave the code. If it's safe.
"This is the food and wine we brought. Come on, enjoy it. As our introduction. I am Robert myself. And this..."
Robert introduced one by one of the four of them, who turned out to be his friends.
The five of them wanted to come to the city of Rome, and it turned out that they were also not of us this Monte Isola. But from the next town, which is near the border of the country.
*****
At nine in the morning, Gavino had just woken up. George woke up earlier than he did. While Robert and his friends, still sleeping soundly in the front room.
They sleep by rolling out old carpets in this house. Then on top of it in the title again some carpet supplies that carried them on the way.
"It seems like they are really exhausted," muttered Gavino paying attention to how they were sleeping.
George just nodded his head, hearing the muttering of a gavino that was not actually aimed at him.
Kriett...
Door opens. Gavino saw a thin snowfall in front of the house. Because apparently, last night it was snowing. Although not accompanied by strong winds.
Cold air goes straight into the house. Making the air inside also felt cold. Robert and his friends wake up.
"It's real snowing."
Robert immediately said so, as his eyes looked out. Because it seems clear, if the car parked in front of the door, covered with snow. Although it is not perfectly closed.
Now all of them, including Gavino and George, are sitting in front of the fireplace again.
Enjoy the drinks Gavino provides. That's warm tea without sugar, with leftovers last night. Because he couldn't go anywhere, in the winter this first time.
"We enjoy what's available."
