Chapter 5 - October's solar lights

The sun was setting as soon as we advanced through the buildings of the city, with the wind blowing through the car we headed back home.

I watch the sun illuminate the car windows, illuminate the road where we pass at a low speed and I could admire the view of the city.

My thoughts went against the songs of the birds that flew over the way.

- That was very confusing and extremely strange, don't you think? - asked Lilian

- Yes so far I can't fit the missing pieces of this newest unsolved mystery - said Andrew

- The beginning to unveil the veil of mysterious time, there is and requires patience every step is essential to understand the meaning of existing - said Liam

- How deep Liam - said Natasha

- Sometimes I like to think that I was a great poet in another life, Shakespeare style

- I think you would make a great novelist - said Natasha

"And more for horror tales," said Andrew

- Ha ha, very funny . You should be a comedian - said Liam sarcastically

We set off on the Seattle highways, ready to take on an adventure of epic proportions, with an outcome worthy of cinema films.

We stopped at a bookstore known as Andrew, where there was a cafeteria, went in to have fun.

Arriving we realized that they were selling some interesting items, Lilian became interested in a necklace made of sunflower pendants made of silver.

Natasha became interested in a book of mysteries, which caught her attention due to the beautiful cover and plot that provided it.

Liam was intrigued by a bracelet made of skull, rather a brooch made in the shape.

Andrew, unlike the rest, was enchanted by a 90s superhero comic .

It was a fun ride, we took a tour of the city exploring history. Certainly Lilian found it richly interesting to know the aspects of the place.

Time passed quickly, we bought pizzas for dinner and a chocolate mousse and vanilla flakes for desserts.

To seize the moment, we turned on the television and put on a really fun show and started watching.

Around midnight everyone was awake, so we went to buy a board game to pass the time.

- Let's start? - asked Lilian

- Yes, who wants to be first? - asked Andrew

- Natasha can start - asked Liam

- Me? It could be - said Natasha

We roll the dice, and we start the game.

After a few hours the scores were high, Lilian in the front, Andrew in second, Natasha in third and Liam last.

"I can't believe I'm going to lose," said Liam.

- You never know, the game is unpredictable and the winner can be any of us - said Lilian

- You are right. Come on benzinh send me a good number - said Liam

With the end, the winner was Liam, everyone was surprised because he was losing and had no chance of winning.

- That man, the last ones will be the first ones! - exclaimed Liam

- Less Liam, much less - said Andrew - Do not be a bad winner.

Natasha had a brilliant idea, to make a celebration cake. When they went to the market, she secretly bought all the materials.

- A surprise, for days I was thinking about making something for dessert, something that someone really likes - said Natasha

- And what would it be? - asked Lilian

- A cake, remember that we made it almost every Wednesday . As soon as mom and dad left at Aunt Suzana's house? asked Natasha

- I remember, I miss your aunt - said Lilian

- Yeah , we haven't seen her in a long time - said Natasha

- Our parents are always busy . We hardly see the family - said Lilian

"Too bad, but you didn't say what they do," said Andrew

- They are surgeons, they work in the same hospital not far from home, they spend more time there than with us - said Natasha

- True, but this is the gift that made them the best at what they do - said Lilian

- Now let's make ta l cake - said Natasha

- Can I help you? - asked Lilian excitedly

- Of course you can, you are my favorite helper - said Natasha

Lilian opens a big smile.

In the kitchen Natasha puts the ingredients in a silver bowl and Lilian breaks the eggs, but the milk is missing.

"We're going to buy it," said Liam.

- No need , we know how to make it homemade - said Natasha

- Suzana is a great cook. We learned a lot from her. - said Lilian

- Would you have a glass jar or something that we can put in? - asked Natasha

"Yes, we have it in the pantry," said Liam

"I can get it for you," said Andrew.

We did and asked them to taste it. Lilian is always looking forward to cooking.

- What did you think? - asked Lilian

- It's wonderful, you managed to capture the essence of normal milk only better - said Andrew

- It was very good, after pass the recipe to us - said Liam

- It's very simple, anyone can do it - said Lilian

We made the cake and hoped it would be ready, when suddenly we were sitting listening to music in the living room, we heard a peculiar sound.

An explosion from the street, we were scared but we didn't go out to see it, we didn't know what it was about and even more that it was already past one in the morning.

- I'm sure it was nothing, tomorrow we see what happened or ask the neighbors - said Andrew

We went back to the kitchen and the cake was ready.

- No beli scar the cake, it's still hot - said Natasha

- You and your silly rules Natalie - said Lilian laughing

- And you and your stubbornness Lily - said Natasha shrugging and raising her hands

Those few moments were the ones that meant the most to me, every detail matters, every laugh fills me with joy and hope, that we will have many difficulties with life, it is never easy to deal with but with effort, struggle, companionship and love any drop rain can be turned into a drink for the soul.

- I am very happy to know that I have you in my life Natalie - said Lilian

- You really want to make me cry my little girl - said Natasha

- On the contrary I want to hear your spontaneous laugh that fills me with happiness - said Lilian

- Always together and together. Forever - said Natasha

- Always for eternity. - said Lilian

- What a remarkable and beautiful moment, group hugs? - asked Liam

- Don't ruin that moment, you big ass. said Andrew smiling and hugging Liam

On the clock it was after three in the morning, we decided to sleep and leave the cake for tomorrow.

- Good night everyone - said Lilian

"Good night and sweet dreams, " said Andrew

The next day, just after dawn, Andrew went to observe what had happened the night before.

A light pole had fallen on his car, luckily it hadn't broken anything.

- How crazy, I'm glad you didn't break my friend. said Andrew

- What are you talking about? - asked Liam

- What a fright! - said Andrew

- What happened around here? - asked Liam

- I do not know. Something must have dropped - Andrew replied

In the room Natasha and Lilian were sleeping, Andrew knew the stairs and called them to have coffee.

- We lost the time - said Natasha

- Last night was the best of our lives - said Lilian

- It was fun - said Natasha

- Come on, let's have coffee - said Lilian - I'm dying to eat that cake.

The day was beautiful, we went down the stairs. Lilian took the lead and then I went to accompany them .

To start the day I always went to the bathroom, doing the usual fix my hair and taking care of my skin, washing my face with cold water.

And combing my ponytail to be perfectly aligned, that for me was starting the day well.
