50 The World (1/2)

”Big brother! Let's go to the other house now. They will be waiting for us!” Shizuka intervenes between Mark and his mom, while holding his arm tightly

Her eyes gleam in excitement, thinking about the other house she spoke of.

”Haha, yes, let's go.” Mark gets up. He grabs the snacks he bought with him and goes outside guided by his little sister.

While walking on the road, Mark pulls his sister to his other side, the one that is not exposed to the road. He doesn't want his sister to walk on the road exposing herself to the accident-prone side, with speeding vehicles. He puts himself on the accident-prone side and places his sister in between him and the shops.

Shizuka giggles at the love her brother has for her. They both soon reached a house. The house is painted in white, with a royal blue roof and a huge black gate.

The building is 10-15 feet ahead from the gate, with small plants on either side of the path.

”Ahhh, it's Markos and Shizuka! Our little grandkids are here.” An old man in his 60's shouts, on sighting Mark and Shizuka and welcomes them with a warm hug.

”Ohhh ohh! Speak of the devil! We were just talking about you, Marky, and here you are.”

”Yay, it's our Mark and Shizu! Let's have a party!”

”You just want a reason to throw a party and get drunk, don't you?”

The old people living in the retirement house come out to give a warm welcome to Mark and Shizuka.

Markos's face lights up and smiles very brightly at the voices he heard. He stretched his arms to his front trying to hold the people coming his way.

Mark and Shizuka love to spend time with old people, who have been abandoned or have lost their family. This is the only place where Mark smiles, and that is when he's with all these people. They don't fake their love or concern. Some of them even act like kids to play with Shizu, and the whole building is filled with laughter when they visit.

Also, a blind old man too happened to live there in the house. He doesn't move from his spot, and doesn't speak at all. He just listens to the laughter, with Mark sitting beside him, and laughs along with him.

”Ahhh, Shizuka here come the nobles... Are you readyyy? I'm coming in 1...2...3!” One of the grandpas says playfully, while he frowns and runs towards Shizuka on the count of 3. Shizuka bursts out laughing and starts to run.
