15 — fish tank
  • 'I've been wondered for a while, why do we have to come here every week?'

    We are at the biggest aquarium in our town, or the owner of this place claimed it to be.

    'You don't know?'

    'How will I know if you don't tell.'

    'Watching these fish swimming gives me peace.'

    'Then aren't there something else that would do the same too? Aren't you getting bored doing the same like a routine.'

    'Doing other things won't give me the same feeling. It's like you go watching Justin Bieber's concert instead of Coldplay's.'

    '...Fine, I will pretend like I understand what you say. I can grasp only a glimpse of it though.'

     'Good.'

    We keep walking through the underwater tunnel. As I mentioned, it makes me calm. Maybe it was the effect of color blue, along with the shadow of rippled water.

    'Another suggestion: what if you buy a fish tank, with real fish of course, and place it in your room. That will make you feel at ease every time right?'

    'It's still not the same you know.'

    'Oh..,' his face fall. I know he's not enjoy to be here with me every week, nevertheless, he comes. I can't help annoyed with his proposal although it's filled with his good intention.

    'Just look around you,' I say. 'Concentrate and erase all of the people around here. Do you feel that they're slowly fading?'

    I continue when he nods, 'look at the floor, doesn't the reflection of the water make you feel like you're in the ocean too—like you're in the place where all the noisy sound couldn't bother you at all. You're under the water, cold and serene. Fish are your friends, seaweeds and coral are your hideout.'

    I can sense that he's with me.

    'And look up, can you see your friends calling for you? You might say maybe later! I have something to do now  to them, or I'll be there in a sec. You can imagine the world as you want it to be.'

    'There, do you get it now?'

    'Wow, you really got me this time. I won't complain next time we're here.'

    'Or we can try out other aquariums.'

    'Sure.'

    'Thanks.'
