Albert stared in disbelief at the man who was smiling broadly at him. A few minutes ago, Will managed to make Albert speechless with an admiring mouth. I can't believe it feels like they've met again after all these years. It's only natural that Albert forgot the figure of Williams.
Williams's current appearance makes people think that she is an artist. Athletic strapping body with a sideburn that is left slightly elongated and fine fur around the jaw. The glasses that framed his two sharp eyes shot out like the eyes of an eagle.
Never would have believed Will had not brought up his broken bike problem the last time they could have spent playing together. Because after the event he did not dare to come out just playing. Will no longer wants to create something that could cause problems to his parents back.
Albert hugged Williams' tall body tightly. They laugh together and Will can also witness how mistress Carlotta smiles watching the two.
Albert works at a cafe just a short distance from where they live. For the past two years, Albert has lived alone with his mother. When he works, there will be someone who takes care of the mother later. His wife left Albert because he could not stand the fast paced life. And Albert couldn't prevent it. Until the second year of his departure the wife returned with a divorce papers for him.
For the second time Albert could do nothing. Until the court verdict was completely out and they officially parted ways. Albert continued to live his day and took care of his mother who at that time was very sick. Albert's patience was again tested when doctors said that there was a nerve in the head of mistress Carlotta who experienced a problem and needed surgery.
But economic limitations made him delay the operation to date. And cause the mother can no longer speak, even just a light movement. The day of the two is still the same and they both strengthen each other when mistress Carlotta can already accept her condition.
Williams feeds mistress Carlotta. He still remembered how the woman who was staring and taking a bribe from him had once loved him a long time ago. Maybe the mouth of mistress Carlotta is spicy but the woman also has a loving attitude. And Will felt that.
"Mama has reminded me? he's Williams, Al's friend who used to come here." Albert was moved to see how Will gently fed his mother.
There is no answer of course, because Mrs Carlotta had trouble speaking. She simply blinked her eyes and smiled with lips that seemed to say "yes, mama remembers it."
"Why not stay here? why stay in a hotel?" Albert grumbled as if reluctant to part with Will.
There are a lot of things he wants to talk about with his best friend. Time doesn't allow them, at least for now.
"Tomorrow, the night I have to go to Oma Feli's house. And maybe stay there until it's time to get back to my place. Maybe later before I come back I'll take the time to come back for a visit."
"alright. Let me know whenever you have time." A soft pat on Williams' shoulder with Albert smiling warmly. Even Mrs Carlotta was seen crying when Will said goodbye to her earlier.
