Chapter 30 - Chosens!
John left his room and headed downstairs.
Today, he plan to go to the library to read about some books as he is still not attending school.
While Sophia will be managing the newly bought building to make it into a restaurant that they hope one day will become a famous and respected restaurant in the whole Town of Pirey.
After having the usual delicious breakfast cooked by Sophia. John, stand up and walk to the door.
"Mom, I'll be going to the library!" said John as he head outside the house.
"Okay, take care, son!" answered his Mom as she clean up and wiped the table.
"Good morning, John!" greeat by an uncle by the butcher shop.
"Oh, good morning, John, you're still as cute as always!" tease by the auntie selling vegetables at the side.
"Oi John! Wher' are ya' goin'?" asked the drunk looking bearded Old Man sitting on a stool on one of the houses here.
"Good morning everyone!" greet John back with a smile on his face, then he turn to look at the drunk Old Man,
"I'm going to the library Grandpa Bas. By the way, I told you to stop drinking last time, it's not good for your health!" nagged John,
"Aiyaaa, Just let me be, drinking is my only happiness!" said the Grandpa while letting out a smile making is uneven teeths show out.
*Sigh...*
Hearing what the old man said, John sigh with exasperation.
This Old Man is a known drunkard around here, but although it's like that, he is not hated or anything, instead people actually like him. It is for no other reason than he is a good man... but always drunk.
He will help anyone that actually need his helps, because of that, many people have favorable impression of him.
John look straight into the eyes of the old man and said,
"You should at least reduce your drinking Grandpa Bass! Your body is not young anymore you know!" he pause, then he continue, "Don't tell me that I did not warn you when the time comes that you got sick because of drinking alcohol and can't move your body anymore!"
"Aishaa! Hahaha, thi' body of mine is still strong ya' kno'!" chuckles the Old Man as he flex his lanky and thin looking arms.
"*Sighs* Anyways, I'll be going to the Library now Grandpa Bass, you should get a rest soon."
"Go go' this old man will rest when it's time to rest!" said the old man following a light chuckle to it.
John continued walking while shaking his head lightly.
John walk around the neighborhood leisurely, looking at the people going about their own ways and sometimes greeting those that he knows.
And after walking for 15 minutes, he arrives at the library in the middle of the town.
The library doesn't look anything grand, it's just a plain white building with pure white walls and everything.
John proceeds to enter the library, he went to the counter where the librarian is sitting and reading a book silently.
"Excuse me."
John called out to the librarian with a small voice.
"How may I help you?"
"I want to read some books."
The librarian stares at John for a while, then she said,
"Aren't you too young to be reading alone? Where is your guardian?"
She said with a curious and inquiring look.
"My mom is currently working, and I can read properly!"
"Do you even have money to enter the library?"
"I have money!" he said and took out a pouch that seems full of money inside. But he immediately brought it back inside his pocket and look at the librarian.
John stares back at the librarian as he answer her.
But after a minutes, the librarian let out a sigh.
"Sigh... Well, if you say that you can read, then go on. Give me your status card for me to put you on the record and 2 silver coins as entrance fee."
John gave her the status card which have his name and age as the only thing that is visible to others.
He also gave two silver coins from his pocket.
After writing down a few things on the notebook beside her, the librarian gave back John's status card.
"Your entry is already recorded. You can go and start reading books that you want to read. And remember to take care of the books that you will be reading, each one of the books here is expensive." warn the librarian to John.
John nodded his head back and said, "Yes, I will take care of the books!"
He waved his hands to the librarian before he started walking around.
The librarian looks at the back of John for a while before she shakes her head a few times and let a sigh again before grabbing back her book from the desk.
He picked a few books about history and decided to look for a place to sit down.
*Bonk!*
But before he even start taking a step, he stopped again as a thick book covered in dust fell on his head from the top of the bookshelf.
"Ouch ouch!" cry out John, a single tear even escape from his eyes as he closed his eyes tightly.
Then he sat down on the ground and started massaging the top of his head.
After feeling that the pain subsided for a bit, John opened up his eyes and look at the book that fell on his head.
"What is this?"
He picked up the book and dusted with his hands making the dust on the book float in the air.
And inadvertently, he inhaled a few dust and started coughing.
"Cough, cough! Thi, This is too dirty!"
Because of his loud coughing, the librarian heard him and look at him.
"Ssssshhhhhhhh!"
The librarian gestures to him to be silent.
He immediately made a sorry face and bowed his head.
Then he saw the title on the book on his hand.
"The Chosens!"
