"s.p.a.ce." I needed it, George said." What?" Albrecht heavily put the empty bamboo mug on the table.
" And then... how long is that s.p.a.ce for this s.p.a.cious world? I could really feel that this isn"t just your decision, maybe something had happened." Albrecht murmured.
" Its okay, I already have a heavy heart, don"t put too much weight over this b.u.mpy situation, it choked me." George whispered with his exhausted eyes out of a sleepless night.
" Have you done something wrong?"
" Yes. I"m guilty."
" What is it?" Albrecht curiously asked.
" I stole twice."
" What? haha!" Albrecht laughed while Baldur just pulled a seat beside the table.
" You stole. What is it, bro, so that we can help a.n.a.lyze whether you"ll return it or not." Baldur seriously reiterated.
George pulled the baby shirt from his bag and showed it to them.
"What is it?" Then Albrecht tried to hold it but George twisted his arm a little.
" Ah! ah! heyyy! what you"re doing to me!" Albrecht complained.
" Your hands are dirty, give that to Baldur who"s now washing his hands."
Baldur properly wiped his hands and took the mysterious cloth. He rotated it twice and had a perfect view of it, at last.
" Wow! its a cute baby shirt." He smirked.
" She sewed it and kept it away from me but I stole it before we proceeded to station one, prior to the attack. I like it very much, so this is my first sin. Until now she"s doubting that I stole it. Secondly, I was curious if why she"d ripped some of the journals" pages, so I stole those but she caught me using my footsteps marked on the flour powder scattered on the floor. She really ordered me to lift my hands and searched the ripped pages - then she found them in my pocket." He was so haggard watching to the fire from the stove.
There was silence. Albrecht became serious and sat down filling his mug with hot water, put some "salabat" and a little sugar.
" Brother, what do you think is the best thing to do. Do you feel of returning it or you still wanted to keep it." Albrecht said.
" Hmm...its a treasured thing for her. Imagine she allowed you to kick out yourself just to test you whether you"ll surrender that cute shirt. You should have asked it from her instead. Ah no! hmm, of course we have to understand you dreaming of a baby with her. Yes, I think this is a proper mindset Albrecht that we should empathized his views over stealing. It isn"t really stealing I guess. You"re married, its your bedroom, her thing is your thing as well...." Baldur stopped when George intervened.
" She put a demarcation and boundary to where I can only walk by inside. If I get inside the room when she"s asleep, the number of months being this way is extended and yes, I already got a top up month just because of what I have done." George bowed and shook his head.
" So before you returned the ripped pages, have you read it? what were the secrets written inside? Sr. Sibal was a worst writer. That was also the reason if why I thought I"d like to reap one page of it because he write there, " Albrecht was naughty during his p.u.b.erty stage. He scooped his fart and ran to throw it to Baldur. Baldur cried the hardest and Edward whipped the older boy. I laughed a lot with these kids." See that." Albrecht ended.
" Good that you did not rip it because its true." Baldur smiled.
" But did you receive any from my farts, ha? Its all gone when reaches to you, you all terrible." Albrecht smiled.
" Shh....the problem here is the baby shirt and not the fart from the last decade. If I return it, its too difficult. I said I would stay here for a while, huh!" He shook his head again.
" What if I will secretly return it." Albrecht offered.
" But I don"t feel of returning it, no!"
" ...and why we"re discussing of returning it, Yes! we"ll nothing return the baby shirt. You"re the father, yes, you are." Albrecht appeared to be like an angry father.
" Haha!" The two laughed at him as George threw him a ribonette lemongra.s.s.
" Hmm...at least I"m getting obssessed over this baby shirt. That"s just my feeling, I don"t know but maybe, I"m just excited. Hah! whatever happens, I"ll never return this. Here, I"ll gonna make a letter. I"ll accept that I stole it then will ask this from her."
" Wow! that"s a good idea, bro." Baldur commented.
