5 years had passed since that encountered happen. I am in the veranda of my small home holding a cup of my tea while watching those small kids pedaled their bikes for one last round before going back home. While Chiara who is near on my feet, is looking for the diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon. The stillness we both feel somehow reminds us we have a home we can call our own. After that incident that made them trap under our control, their lives had changed. The club that once been their "one good time moment", now becomes been manage as an art and music show. Henry who I put a mark, is actually the owner of the building – even before it became known as The Club. Just in a year, he changes the atmosphere of it. He became hands-on for the reconstruction of the building that it took 6 months to finish it. He even invites us to its ribbon cutting event that we never think twice to come. The Club before is now called as The Gallery Show. A lot of its guests were those been under our spells. Everyone had now their own activities to be busy at, whenever they come in to the building aside from their jobs to the companies they are part of. Some were into music enthusiast where they give opportunity to the aspiring singers to compose, record, and take a music video. There building is located on the 6th and 7th floor. Those who are bookish, they take time to have a library alongside of it is they will accept some books, own written novels, poems and comics from those who would like to be an author, poet and illustrator one day. Their building is located on the 4th and 5th floor. And those who take impart in the world of art, there building is located on the 3rd and 2nd floor where a lot of visitors take photos to the rare, impressive, and unique styles of the eager beaver artist. Also, the visitors can even get the chance to have their own art too. Each will take home their own art paintings as well as they will give the other copy of their arts to the art gallery room.
The 1st floor becomes the one and stop food shop of the building, where the visitors can take their time to have their food shopping. The 8th floor becomes our meeting room, where we will gather from time to time and try to see the progress of the company.
Oscar who become the right-hand of Henry for its management, urges me to become the President of their new starting company. But I refused to their appeals. I told them that there are still things I need to do with as pretending myself being a human. During the ribbon cutting event all who are under our spells know our identity. Good thing is that no one opposes us and no one answer back to let them live the way they were before. The company after 5 years of its operation becomes a successful one-stop educational station just in the heart of the metropolitan where each individual is given the chance to discover their own choice of talents to be well-develop or to see their other sides, aside from the usual intellectual hobby they have.
Through their financial supports, I graduated a foreign language degree. But I end up to my hobby: I act myself as an agriculturist. Where even I'm away from my farm mansion, I planted and develop my skills in cultivating fruit-bearing trees, vegetables and flowers. Through the encouragement of my new formed family, I build now my own farm business. Every guest who come and visit my 5-hectare farm, will have the opportunity to take part in planting: depending on their own choice.
Back in the scene, this day was really a tiring time for us Clara. A certain college student from a nearby institution visit my farm asking my permission and approval to conduct their internship experience. Since it's only me and Clara alone who work and nurture it, I signed their internship paper for them to start by the next week. I told them the daily working activities inside the farm as while as their time schedules. It's close down to 18.00 when Clara stood up and urge me that it's time for us to enter inside the home and prepare our supper. "Ready for your new workmates tomorrow, Clara?", telling Clara who keeps on nodding to the students earlier. "I'm tired looking on their faces. Putting a heavy make-up? Oh! Do they think that they are working as a farmer? Or they think like they are a hotel receptionist?". I laugh on her words that I almost cry on laughing. "You know? have you ever forget to be a teenager at least?". She raised one of her eyebrows and say to me, "And who else here forgets her mission?". I paused for a while then I remember we only have 45 years left starting from now before the big doom comes to us. "Let's get inside now. I will prepare our favorite Valenciana food". Clara's expression turns to frown. "You can't simply change the subject just because you're hungry. And FYI, I'm not in the mood of Valenciana. I prefer to eat stewed meat. And don't forget to add my favorite refreshments".
As I prepare our food in the kitchen, Clara is right. It's such a waste of time for us if we continue our relationship with the humans. I pick up my phone then I saw the missed calls of Oscar. While I'm preparing our food, I called him and he said about the upcoming meeting that I need to attend. "Will it be fine if I can't attend to it? Actually, we really have an important appointment to do with Clara. Tomorrow will be going somewhere far. And I'm not sure if we take days or more than that". Oscar on the other line becomes neutral. "Really? Well, this guy who ask me to see you wants to buy some of your products. He came in just this morning and saw one of your photos here in the shop. What do you think? Are you willing to sell your products or no?". I was about to refuse the offer when I notice Clara is behind me waiting for my response. "I guess…" "What Chiara? What's your final decision?". I put my phone on the table and press the speaker on. "It will be best if he will come and visit my farm by the next week". "Okay, that's great! I will leave him the message anyway". "Thanks, and bye Chiara!". I ended up our call. I waited for Clara to speak up, yet she looks at me with suspensions. "A number of intern students and now a buyer?!". I stroke lightly her head and cheeks and say to her, "We will do our mission. Don't worry I can handle that. Right now, we need to eat our supper. For sure you're hungry for your stewed meat".
