The Spirit Of Verona -Page 32

THE SPIRIT OF VERONA
Author: E. Verna Turner
Page 32

The young ones, teens and kids walked away from the elders. Jameson murmured as he walked away from Grandma Olivia. The reason why he was asking the Keeping's it's because he wants to present his new found project for Physics. He was seen going up the stairs above the tree house and continued his self study about theoretical particles.

The other kids and teens moved to a shady shelter under  coconut grove and they chatter for quite a while. They were curious about the Keeping's. But then knowing they are University professors their curiousity stop there and then have their jolly conversation about issues that please their attention. Teenage dreams, hobbies and ambition. What really their goals are once they finally moved out from the island. When the elders are finished with their meal, Tamara and Mila helped Amelia and Stephano cleaned the dishes, pots, pans and utensils. In between clean-up the two girls asked if Amelia is their aunt or just a servant. They were asked to call her aunt but she does all the cleaning and cooking in their household since they were toddlers.

Amelia quipped, "I'm just helping your family." "Nobody eats when nobody cook. No one will clean except me."

"What do you mean?" Mila asked again. She was confused.

Bianca and Amelia are sisters. It's just that Amelia is more responsible. She knows how to run the household while the sister works and study. Her work as a doctor is a constant studying. Doctors always have to update and upgrade their knowledge.

"You mean you are our real aunt?" Mila asked with much curiousity. Amelia didn't answer as if she was hard of hearing.

Rosalee and Eric gathered firewood. Melinda and Joseph cleaned the table and throw the garbage in the bin provided for non-food waste and food waste in a compost located farther away from the kitchen. Thirty feet away from their camp so that the smell or flies wont hamper their food supply. They make sure that cleanliness and orderliness is established so that the whole compound or site is not harmed. Everything should be well balanced in accordance with the surrounding.

Hours passed by. Then night time falls...

It was past 12 midnight when the Russo family was awakened by a loud scream. Once again the noise was coming from the Keeping's household.

"The war is over! The war is overrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" Josephine and Arthur shouted at everyone. Trying to wake them up, Arthur rung the bell a lot of times.

Louder and louder the bell rings )))))))))))))))))))

Arthur screamed and shouted, running and knocking at the doors of Bianca and her family, to the door of Olivia and Gustavo, door of Amelia and Stephano. Loud screaming of happiness can be heard in their area. The kids were surprised.

"How did you know that the war is over?" Mila asked them. Jameson and Joselito questioned the Keeping's how they know that the war is over?

"We heard the news on the radio!!!!!!" Arthur told them, his face filled with much happiness. The same happy feeling that Josephine shows on her beautiful face.

Long pause. Long silence. Different facial reactions gloom on the young ones' face. Hearing the word "radio" they could at least asked for help rescue them from the island. They are not happy. Not that kind of reaction they have nor the elders' reaction could have changed whatever inside their  mind. Surely young ones Vs. Old ones? They have different opinion that suits their own identity which is vital for their growth and strength.

  1. REMINDER: THE SPIRIT OF VERONA is a novel in FICTION! It has nothing to do with the real fascist movement during the Mussolini's and has nothing to do with World War II. It is a STORY BASED >> ON FICTION.
