Chapter 36

General POV

Oona arrived. It was her first day, her first after-noon actually. Nonny smiled for once when he saw Oona walking down the street to his house. He was happy to have her. Oona knew Nonnys parents good, so she didn't fell awkward with them. "Hi miss. Thank you for letting me come." Oona said politely. "Oh Oona, we must thank you for coming. And please, call us Wendy and Winston." Nonnys mother said. Wendy was Nonnys mothers name and Winston was Nonnys fathers name.

Oona entered the living room. Winston was reading a newspaper. He noticed Oona. "Hello Oona, welcome!" He said very enthusiastically. "Hi mister Winston." Oona said. "Ow come, let that mister fall, you're my step-daughter after all." Winston said. "Hahaha, not yet." Oona said laughing. "Not yet... We'll talk about it in maybe 5 years." Winston said joking.

"Nonny, honey. Oona has arrived." Wendy said loudly from downstairs. Nonny came downstairs too. His sister followed him too. (In chapter 4 I mentioned that Nonny had a sister. Completely forgot that xD) Nonny smiled, the first time since he searched for aid. "I'm happy to have you here." He said. The 2 hugged. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" Nonnys sister said. "Valery, don't do that." Wendy said to her daughter. Valery is the name of Nonnys sister. She was 5 years younger than him, around 10. "Is Oona gonna stay?" Valery asked. Everyone nodded. "Yeaay!" Valery shouted. She run to Oona and hugged her. "We will have so much fun." Oona lifter her shoulders while looking at the rest of the family. Valery didn't understand the situation, Oona wasn't here for fun. "I can take care of 2 persons at once." Oona said smiling. Nonnys parents laughed. Nonny smiled a little.

"I must do things with him that he likes." Oona thought. After being released by Valery, Oona went to the kitchen to talk with Wendy. "You will not be disappointed Oona. I made some delicious lasagna." Wendy said. "It smells great." There was a bit of silence. "Uhm Wendy?" "Yes Oona?" "Can I ask you something?" "Of course you can." "Well, to help Nonny I need to do things with him that he likes. I might be his girlfriend but I'm sure you as his mother know a lot more of what he likes." Wendy was thinking. "Nonny likes drawing, watching documentaries, he likes reading books oh and board games." "Okay thank you. I will start with that." Oona said and exited the kitchen.

Nonnys want of medicines increased. He was looking down, silently. His right hand was shacking a bit. "Time to act." Oona said silently. "Do it." Winston said. Oona smiled. "Hey Nonny, I'm here. Stay strong, it will only decrease. Don't think about it. What do you want to do?" Oona said. "I don't know... I feel so bad. It's helpless..." Oona stood up. She was searching for the TV remote control. She turned on the TV. A nature documentary about the jungles of Thailand. "Look. Look how beautiful that is." Oona said. Nonny looked up. "But I liked that other sunset we saw, you remember? With the forest and the mountains?" Nonny smiled a bit.

Nonny's father and sister joined the 2. "After this crisis we must make a trip. Last time I exited this country was 20 years ago." Winston said. "And where did you all went?" "Hoho, at the time I didn't meet Wendy. It was with a group of friends. We hired a boat and navigated around the Caribbean Sea. Visiting several islands. It was beautiful." "Imagine Nonny." Oona said. "What do you see?" She added. "An ocean... An island... with beautiful nature. And seagulls." "That was exactly how that adventure looked like." Winston said. "Where do you want to go Nonny?" Winston added. "A place where its calm." "I know a place. In Japan, Ise Jingu. I heard it's very tranquil." "Maybe..." "Or Lake Louise in Canada. I saw a picture once, beautiful blue lake with mountains all around it." "We saw that in a documentary once, if I remember." Nonny said. "Yeah I remember too now." "It looked calm..." "I think we'll go there after the crisis." Nonny smiled a bit more.

The documentary was over, directly after that everyone gathered to play a board game. It was Monopoly. Nonny was an expert. After a few rounds Wendy got bankrupt. "No, my last street!" "Hehe, what unfortunate." Winston said. "Get him Nonny, you can do it." Wendy winked at Nonny who smiled back a bit. Wendy went back to the kitchen to check the food. "Hehehe, here let's build some hotels." Winston said. "Valery don't cheat!" Nonny said. He saw his sister trying to take some money. "Those who are not strong must be smart." Oona said giggling. "Hehehe exactly." Winston said. "But are you strong enough to survive my hotels?" Nonny said when his father was throwing the dices. "Oush, that's a big part of my budget." Nonny was winning. Not much after, Valery got bankrupt. "Not fair!" She said. "The world is unfair, you'll understand that later." Nonny said while looking at his streets. "He's very smart huh? Good catch." Winston said poking Oona with his elbow. Oona giggled. Oona got a lot of visitors on her streets. This allowed her to build more houses. Not long after, Winston and Nonny were bankrupt. Oona had won. "Good game everyone." "Not that fast, I want a revenge." Nonny said. Oona and Winston winked. "Good progress." Oona thought.

Time for the family to eat. There was a nice, calming atmosphere. Even Nonny participated in the conversations. This made his parents happy. Nonny forgot about his addiction, at least for that moment.

After that, they did the dishes, the family looked at a comedy movie altogether. After that, it was pretty late. Nonny and his sister got separated rooms recently. That meant there was enough place for Oona. "Sleep well you 2." Wendy said to the couple. "Keep an eye on him." Winston added with a wink. Oona and Nonny went upstairs.

Several hours later.

Oona woke up. Normally, she never woke up in the middle of the night, something was different. The moon was big and lighting up the bedroom. Was that the reason? No, Oona felt that something was wrong. She looked around, nothing was strange except... "Nonny?" She said. He wasn't in his bed. "Oh no." She quickly got out of her bed. First she looked around the room, no Nonny. She then remembers... "The balcony." Oona looked at the little balcony. She saw a dark silhouette, probably Nonny."

"N...Nonny?" Oona said. "I can't continue Oona, I'm not strong enough. I need it now." He said looking down. "Nonny, the worse is already behind us, don't give up. In a couple of days it will be over, please..." "I can't, Oona..." "Yes you can, together we can. I know you very well Nonny. We'll get through this." Nonny remained silent. He wasn't crying, but tears appeared. They just rolled over his cheeks. Not one cry, not one sob, nothing. Oona gently wrapped her arms around his chest. She rested her head on his back. "I'm here for you Nonny. I will always be there for you." Nonny was silent. He then put one of his hands on Oonas ones. "I... Me too." He said.

The 2 had a very special moment. They never felt as close as they were now. "You have to sleep Nonny, it's important." "I can't, I have nightmares, hallucinations..." "Dear God." Oona was thinking. "I might have an idea, to change your mind." The 2 went back into the bedroom.
