I told this to Arel, and he suddenly looked up, and I saw in his eyes some glimmers of interest!
“And the deliverance has come!” he said suddenly.
“Yes! How do you know this!” I was immensely surprised.
“His God came down from heaven and struck him with a sword as a warrior,” said Arel …
I stood stunned:
“You … did you hear that story too?” – I asked, and he laughed, laughed badly, I always get scared when he laughs like that …
“I made it,” he said.
And I saw his eyes … Terrible eyes … Totally insane. I could not look into them, could not bear this look … He looks at you and as if through you. As if you are not, or you are transparent. His mother had the same look, and I wanted to leave as soon as possible … In the end, Arel has long been no matter what happens around …
“He took me through again, however … as always,” Arel said, probably to himself, because I did not understand his words … – Wil! – He called me.
And when I approached him again, he said:
“Wil, when I die, take the portrait of my mother off the wall, you know
… in my room … in the bedroom.” Take it off and open the cache, it is not locked … for a long time. There is a box … Take the letter, it will lie at the top … I put it on top of all the other documents and it is written in large letters Vil Luven … Do you understand what I'm saying?
“I understand, don't chew everything on me like that,” I said. – But why all this? What do you mean, you will not be? What kind of stupid thoughts do you have? “Shut up!” he said it harshly, in his command style, and for a moment it was the same Arel, and I belted up …
“Listen to me! Listen carefully! Take care of people, take care! People, the mass that everyone needs, while you do it, you will be useful.
Because someone who would do this work is needed. This is your chance to stay. Stay helpful!”
And it said Arel! Who has always been spat on people! I did not believe my ears! He told me to take good care of people! What happens to him? I would have been glad if he had said that before … But now … Now, it frightened me even more than his insane look!
Where? Where is the brilliant combination of mind, strength and feeling? Where is the power that terrified anyone who saw him … Who heard his voice … Who watched how simple he was holding, while still remaining inaccessible … Where is everything that I loved so much and why did I forgive everything?! Nothing left! He seemed sucked.
