The brown door was like a gate to hell for Antonio today, after the events that took place at Kościuszko Mound, everything was different, but one thing remained the same, when Antonio dressed in a blue suit went out to meet his old friend, the object of his infatuation, his mother Carmen was simply jumping on larks, she wanted her son to be associated with a person like Vera, to grab the world in his hands and above all money, because Vera came from a wealthy family and had a lot of money in her account, but that went to waste, and now Antonio, a young man with gray hair and slightly trembling green eyes was looking tensely at the brown door thinking what he would say, what he would do, and of course how his mother would react to the sewn-in.
- This will be the hardest thing today. Antonio said reluctantly raising a finger to the door to knock.
- Oh, come on, Antonio, I'll talk if anything, I'll solve the problem with your stupid mother, if anything I'll defend you. She said Sisi, a white Absol with a blue horn, face, ruby-turquoise eyes that when directed at the door showed determination and anger, but when Sisi directed her eyes at the nervous Antonio in her eyes you could see concern and hope.
- Sisi, please this is not the time, today I have to face my mother alone, this is my fight, and I thank you for everything Sisi, without you, if not for you, I thank you. Said Antonio then hugged the happy Absol, who happily waved her red fluffy tail with red tips, another remnant of Zoroark's father.
Suddenly the door opened by itself, in the threshold of the apartment stood a black-haired woman in a red dress and those focused, full of anger brown eyes that already said a lot from the very beginning.
Carmen sees her son alone, what's worse with Sisi again clenched her teeth tightly, looked angrily at her son and waved her hand at him showing him a place in the corridor between his room and the bathroom.
- come in, we have something to talk about. She said Carmen, and her tone was already breaking a lot at the beginning.
Antonio, full of anxiety, went inside and stood on the threshold of his room, Sisi stood in the corridor in front of the closed exit door, he watched as Carmen suddenly listened to everything her son had to say.
- that, that was crazy, I asked, I said that it didn't make sense, I understood it when Vera wrote to me, I wanted to tell her that what happened was only concern for the younger sister that I didn't have, Vera went crazy, she wanted to kill me, either me and her, or no other, she went crazy, if it weren't for Sisi I don't know if I would have come back home. Antonio said in a voice full of extreme emotions, his mother hearing every word suddenly pressed her lips together tightly, and slapped her son in the face.
- you idiot, such a party, so much money flew under your nose and it was all because of you!. Screamed furious Carmen directing all her anger at Sisi and she, lit up with power, showing to take a fighting position.
- How can you say that, how can you raise your hand to your child, you monster in a skirt!. Sisi screamed at the top of her lungs, furious Carmen filled with great anger screamed with equal force.
- It's all because of you, monster, because you are the monster here, I'll show you, you bastard, aaaa!. Screamed Carmen leading her hand to strike, but suddenly Sisi's eyes trembled because what she saw was more shocking than she could believe, see, dream in her wildest dreams.
Antonio, standing with a reddened right cheek, suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed his mother's right open hand with an iron grip, and pulled it as far away from Sisi as possible, Carmen looked at her son full of anger and fury.
- How dare you. Carmen hissed through clenched teeth.
- Try raising your filthy hand at Sisi again a. said Antonio before Carmen interrupted him loudly.
- What! What will you do to me. Carmen asked through clenched teeth.
- Use your imagination if you can!. Antonio shouted and with all his strength pulling his mother by the right hand, threw her into the guest room where his father Nikodem stood in the threshold of the open door.
Sisi gasped again because she hadn't expected this even in her wildest dreams, not so much resistance from Antonio against his own mother, whom he was very afraid of, but now her eyes twitched even more because she understood that Antonio had stood up to his mother to protect her, this once again gave her great hope in her rapidly beating heart, while Carmen in total shock lay on the wooden floor in front of the red carpet for a long time, Sisi also looked at the silent Nikodem who was dressed in a blue suit standing in front of his son and wife, twisting his nose and black beard, his brown eyes scanning both Carmen, Antonio and Sisi for whom his son had fought with his own mother.
Nikodem didn't really say anything, all he did was show his modest smile, showing that he accepted what he saw, it's not known if it suited him, if it was nice, if he liked it, but Nikodem didn't say a single word, instead he turned his head in silence looking only at his shocked wife, Carmen with wide open eyes trembled slightly looking in shock at Sisi standing next to Antonio, looking with equal intensity at her son who opening the door to his room let Sisi enter first and then without a word he disappeared from the sight of both parents and the last three hours were truly silent apart from Antonio and Sisi who sitting in his room exchanged the last words.
The night came quickly, Antonio was just lying on the bed dressed in cream pajamas and looking at the ceiling, while Sisi at first lay silently on the green carpet between the bed and the red and black desk, finally Absol got up and looked at the one lying under the colorful geometrically shaped duvet and pillows, Sisi felt so many emotions, she felt that today she had a real chance to say everything, but at the same moment a cunning smile appeared on her face, Sisi wanted to first probe and pull Antonio's tongue and she had a few ideas here, and when she saw how Antonio was fighting for her with his own terrifying mother, it really was something that made her believe that Antonio felt something for her, something bigger than just friendship.
Sisi jumped onto the bed, got under the blanket and settled herself in the next spot, laying down with her back to Antonio, and he, exhaling deeply, looked at her, clenching his hands tightly, because he himself did not know how to start, what to say at the beginning, how to break the ice of this moment, but it was Sisi who finally spoke first, still lying with her back to Antonio.
- Antonio, you know, I don't understand why you didn't see the truth years ago, why you pretended to be a false image of love, because of that Vera could have killed you. Sisi asked, and hearing her question Antonio closed his eyes, knowing so much today and feeling so much guilt.
- I know, today I see it well, in those days I made many mistakes, now I see all too well, I was too stupid, too young, but I have no chance to justify myself, I don't, it was because of me that Vera went crazy, it should have been different, Sisi I thank you and not only for that, I thank you, I understood so much, if it weren't for you. Antonio said with a frown, Sisi, who was still lying on her back, was about to scream at the top of her lungs, to reveal the secrets of her heart and what she felt for him, but another crazy idea crossed her mind and she decided to use it.
- you know Antonio you impressed me today. She said Sisi and Antonio choked on his own saliva.
- what, what could I impress you with, it was my fault Vera went crazy, I can only hope that she will keep what she saw to herself. Antonio said.
- that's not what this is about, I mean how you stood up to your own mother, now I see that you are a real man, brave, courageous and I am no longer needed here, I can move on. She said Sisi and when she heard silence for a moment she suddenly felt a great sense of guilt because what she said was too sharp, too sudden and terrifying, because suddenly Antonio jumped up from his sitting position and looked at Absol who was constantly lying with her back to him.
- Sisi please don't even say that, I, I can't cope without you, you gave me strength, courage, hope, you showed me a new path.
- and now you can move on alone. She said Sisi, even though her heart screamed not to do it, she kept going.
- Sisi please, don't scare me like that, I, please don't leave me, I, I have to tell you something. Antonio said, Sisi's eyes trembled when she heard what could decide her fate in this world, whether Antonio would tell her what she wanted to hear or just want her to be his friend.
- what do you want to tell me, go ahead, you're brave. She said Sisi, but she froze and choked on her own saliva when Antonio placed his hand on her left side and shouted what shook her world to its foundations.
- I love you Sisi, I love you, with all my heart, with all my being, me, me. Antonio said and when he suddenly withdrew his hand, Sisi feeling that she had done too much, had brought Antonio to the edge too much turned on her back and looked into his trembling green eyes.
- you love me. Sisi asked and Antonio closed his eyes feeling guilty again.
- yes I love you, but I know that I can't force you to do anything, Sisi listen, I don't know what you feel about me, but whatever you decide I will respect your decision, even if you decided to leave, I will respect your decision, if you want us to be friends I will respect that too, but you will always have my heart, because my heart belongs to you. Antonio said now looking with tears in his eyes at Sisi and she, even squealed throwing herself at her beloved and pulling the colorful blanket aside.
- Antonio, I love you, I love you, I love you, from the moment I met you, when you gave me the gift of life and many times, I love you!. Sisi screamed, hugging her beloved with such great strength that Antonio swelled up slightly, but when Sisi withdrew her dangerous embrace Antonio looked at her tenderly, also gently hugging her with great strength and tenderness.
- Sisi, me, is this, am I dreaming?. Antonio asked looking into Sisi's big eyes and she gave him a big smile of joy kissed him thus showing him that this was not a dream, and what she said and did was from her very heart, hers, it was a moment when their beating hearts found a common rhythm and both kissing and hugging tightly felt each other, their hearts beating with the same rhythm, breaths almost equal to each other.
Suddenly Antonio felt uneasy when he heard Sisi's quiet muffled cry, he looked into her eyes but he did not see sadness or despair in them, it was an image of true happiness that nothing could compete with today, nothing.
- Sisi did something happen, why are you crying?. Antonio asked, Sisi hearing the questions of her beloved rubbed her head against her beloved's face, looked again with eyes full of tears and joy, at the same moment placing her stronger paws on the man's hands in a delicate and tender way.
- it's from happiness, I was hurt twice, rejected twice, once by a fool, the second time by a man who loved another, after that I was so torn, now you understand that you gave me life and that several times, and I don't mean saving me when I was hurt and sore, you gave me so much today, I don't know if I could survive another break, if my heart would endure it, I don't know, but thanks to you, oh Antonio. She said Sisi again kissing her beloved and her heart was truly happy, Antonio looking at her with big eyes knew how much he had done today, not only did he stand up to his mother, not only did he say a big NO to his former crush Vera Kaminsky, now he gave something more than just his heart, he also gave the gift of life because if it were otherwise Sisi would have surprised her earthly journey forever.
- Sisi please, don't even tell me, I, I could have led you to the brink of destruction!, please just not this, Sisi, remember whatever the future brings I will never stop loving you, I know that from the moment I met you, when I learned your truth, Sisi you don't have to be afraid anymore. Antonio said and Sisi again felt more tears of happiness flowing from her eyes.
- thank you Antonio, thank you all, without you my life would be so empty, it would have no meaning, thank you. She said Sisi holding Antonio under her front paws, and hugging him tightly, until suddenly something in her crazy mind sparkled, a certain crazy idea that made her blue cheeks shine a strange pink color.
- Sisi is something wrong?. Antonio asked, Sisi let out a few words in his left ear and ran her tongue along his neck, Antonio even trembled slightly when embarrassed and also reddened in the face, Antonio looked at Sisi who now began to run her paws over his chest and unbutton the buttons of his cream pajamas.
- Sisi, me. said Antonio and his breathing became much more rapid.
- shh, me too, let this be the most beautiful moment of our lives. She said Sisi then kissed Antonio straight on the lips and the darkness of the night was their best cover at the moment.
Meanwhile in the next room suddenly Carmen, a woman in pink pajamas suddenly jumped to her feet when she heard a strange moan from behind the wall and after it another one, Carmen was shocked again, and despite the darkness she looked without problems at the ajar door of their room leading to the large guest room, Carmen looked at her husband sleeping next to her in blue pajamas and waved him a few times waking him up in the middle of the night.
- what's up, Carmen, what's all the fuss about?. Nikodem asked. Carmen grabbed him by the face, pointing her finger at the wall through which she could barely hear something that shouldn't be happening in her opinion.
- don't you hear what a squeak, no, I don't allow it aaaa. Carmen screamed when suddenly a strong hand grabbed her by the ear and pulled her into bed.
- leave them alone, if you know, then please, since Antonio chose her then let it be, who are we to forbid them. Nikodem asked, holding his wife's hand with a strong, almost iron grip, and another slightly audible squeak pierced through the wall.
- you're a lunatic, where's your fatherly responsibility, you've gone mad!, after all, this is a being from another world, this is madness, end and period, I'm going there. She said Carmen after she tore herself away from her husband's embrace.
- if you want to lose your son forever, go. Said Nikodem and laid his head on the pillow, Carmen looked in shock at her husband not knowing what to do, what to say.
- What are you talking about, Nikodem, she's been taking our son away from us for a long time now, don't you see that. She said Carmen, her right hand tightly gripping the cast iron door handle.
- no, I don't see it that way, she's not taking him away from us, it was never her plan, understand this, it's just about your sick image of the world, remember how you treated Vera at first, even though she was from a rich family, you were against it!, and now when Sisi, that creature, stood in your son's way, you suddenly fell into some real phobia, and suddenly what am I hearing here, Vera, your sweet Vera is coming from London, she's a great match, and what would you do if Vera wanted to take our son to London, well, what did you do, you see, do nothing or you'll lose your son forever, because if you keep interfering with your ideas here, your son will disown you, he'll never come back here and he'll never call you mother, and if you continue like this, believe me, a tragedy will happen here. Nikodem said firmly, Carmen clenched her teeth, her rage was on the verge but suddenly it burst, Carmen looked at her husband hidden in the darkness and fell to her knees against the wall between the open doors, closing her brown eyes.
- what did I do, but, no, no!, no!, why, she takes so much from me, me, me, I need help, me. She said Carmen looking at their hands and it was then that her husband's hands landed on hers.
- yes you need help, we'll go where we need to, to a psychologist, where we need to. Nikodem said, it was then that Carmen squeezed his hands tightly and looked into his brown eyes through the darkness of the night.
- a psychologist is not enough, a psychiatrist would be better, please help me, what did I do, what could I have done. She said Carmen hugging her husband.
Meanwhile, when silence fell over Krakow, not far from the underground shaft, where a few paralyzed people lay, three Lombax in yellow suits were walking, two twin brothers, Edar and Faxus, both white and with yellow stripes in their eyes, both were following their sister, waving their tails, and their blue sister with yellow spots, waving her tail and ears, waving her green eyes, continued along the corridor full of rocks and salt, leading her brothers to their destination, Nest had in her hands a power sensor that had been given to her by Mandulin, with a built-in sensor that they used to spy on the city of Krakow.
Nest waved her tail as she walked through the main shaft leading her brothers and her eyes watched the underground shaft this handheld device resembling a Tablet, her right hand was constantly ready to shoot holding it close to her belt and the pistol with paralyzing charges which she had already used several times in the salt mine, finally when her brothers talked again about girls, especially nurses, Nest shook her head and entered the large hall with a sculpture of a holy woman made of pure salt standing nearby.
- Do you see this, what is it?. Nest asked looking in shock at the image of a beautiful chamber carved with statues of pure salt, grooves in the walls and shining chandeliers.
- This is amazing, and it's all in salt, whether people do it out of boredom or passion. Faxus asked walking in front of his sister.
- I don't know why they do it but it's amazing, for the first time I see something more beautiful than the girls from the hospital and that's something. Said Edar looking at the sculptures of people made of pure salt.
- Nest, how are the readings, where is the source of power that Mandulin asked for?. Fedar asked, Nest looking at the scanning device went to the most beautiful salt figure carved of pure salt, but the signal still indicated that she would go ahead.
- I'm lucky, whatever it is it is not in this sculpture, it is probably Saint Kinga, I read a bit about this place, people from this world have a deep understanding of faith, It would be a shame to destroy it, it really is a shame. Said Nest avoiding the sculpture of Saint Kinga.
Nest went to the wall and pulled out her pistol, turned on the intense pulse bullets and shot once at the wall, which immediately dropped a strange stone, but at the very beginning it was not the Golden Token, Nest immediately turned on the receiver on her searchlight and showed the strange stone to Mandulin himself.
- Mr. Mandulin we found something strange but something different, please look. She said Nest pointing at a strange blue and white stone that was well known in the Pokemon world as Absolit.
- Absolit, this is a mega stone that Absol uses for mega evolution, let the chicken peck it, it's not a Golden Token, nor any source of power, we are still in a vacuum, Nest, but this is a chance, bring me the Mega Stone to me, and I will use it. Mandulin said looking at the blue and white stone that differed from its originals only in the black pearl placed in the heart.
It doesn't change one thing, Mandulin turned off and Nest was about to put the mega stone in her pocket, but suddenly two agents in black suits rushed out of the long corridor, the black Agent M, directing her brown angry eyes at Nest and her weapon designed to paralyze aliens, and her slightly sticking out black hair, and of course the taller Agent H standing next to her, who was also aiming his weapon and blue eyes, twirling his dark beard from right to left.
Two brothers, Faxus and Edar pulled out their pistols and aimed them at the two agents but I'm proud no one shot, surprisingly everyone who entered the beautiful chamber full of salt monuments was truly disenchanted and at the same time no one wanted to make a mess here.
- I have an idea, I see that you and we care about this place, we want to decide this, let's go upstairs, but don't mess around, we understand each other. Edar said, lowering his hands and holding the pistol.
- basically, not bad, but you first, I don't trust you, especially her. She said Agent M, pointing her weapon at Nest.
- M, maybe we'll make a gesture of good will and, you know. Agent H said, now looking only at M, and she gritted her teeth and kept aiming at Nest who was holding a deactivated searchlight and a mega evolution stone in her hands.
- please, I'll make a gesture of good will, but she's going before me. She said M, Nest didn't have to wait long for her reaction because she put the mega stone in the pocket of her yellow suit and looked at her, challenging her.
- if you're so brave, please, go first, I'll wait, don't be afraid. She said Nest, and M jumped with rage.
- I'm scared? I'm not scared, you half-dwarf, it's better for you to show off your courage and show what you're made of. She said M, hearing this Nest even flapped her ears clenching her hands, M did the same, hiding her gun and pulling out her fists ready to fight.
- Em girls maybe. Faxis said stepping out between two furious girls but at the same moment he suddenly received a powerful right and left from his sister and a taller agent that hit him in the face and knocked him to the ground with a bang.
- gosh, this is getting weirder and weirder Faxus, you better not interfere with this because, I'm afraid of my sister and your friend now, it's so weird, like two furious cats competing for a boy. Edar said, Agent H looked at him surprised no more than two furious opponents leading their fists.
Suddenly, both Nest and the taller Agent M struck with all their might, hitting each other in the head, both suddenly fell on their backs and the falling Nest even knocked down one of the supports that held a large block of rock brought here especially by the miners, Nest squealed as the salty block of rock fell on her, and M suddenly screamed watching her friend again doing what was incomprehensible and downright irritating to her.
At the last moment, Agent H jumped forward and grabbed Nest by her trembling right hand and both of them made a few turns until they were in the middle of the chamber looking each other in the eye, Nest sitting on the agent clenched her jaws tightly again, her hand quickly grabbed the weapon but after H saved her again she surrendered to him which shocked everyone, not more than the brothers after M herself, but most of all H who looked at her wanting to surrender.
- Well, what are you waiting for, I've had enough of your pity. She said Nest waiting for H to arrest her.
- I won't do it, and now run away, come on, M, don't get in the way, they didn't find anything important here anyway, go ahead, run away, come on. Agent H said in unison and Nest, pressing her lips tightly together, shouted in his face, asking for the same thing again.
- Enough, please, enough of your pity!, you don't want to hear it, I've had enough of this, leave me alone, be a real tough agent and arrest me, please!. Nest shouted, still furious at Agent H, but he smiled at her and shook his head.
- I don't intend to because I can see it well, neither you nor your brothers are bad here, and I have to say it straight, your eyes are so magical. H said, winking at Nest and she suddenly gasped, looked to the right at the furious M with spiky hair who suddenly started screaming.
- Not for the dog, sausage, H what are you talking about, just don't tell me you like her. M shouted spitefully.
- and you wonder why you have no chance with him, it's not worth talking about, come here my agent. She said Nest and again in front of everyone she kissed H, her two brothers, until they looked at each other with their tails and ears fluttered.
- well that's nice, our sister must have finally fallen into the trap. Faxus said after which he and his brother Edar started to slowly retreat to the exit.
- it looks like it. Edar whispered and threw a luminous device at the people of the chamber and a strong flash shocked everyone for a moment, when the muffled darkness reigned again in the middle of the chamber there was no longer any of the aliens, only Agent M and the slowly getting up Agent H who looked at his friend and smiled stupidly.
- what. Agent H asked, wiping traces of green lipstick from his lips.
- I'll tell you what, your insubordination has already cost us too much today, what are you playing at, what was that supposed to be, letting them go, you're crazy. Agent M asked, shouting.
- you're not the only one with your female intuition, we guys have our own hunch, and I know that Nest is not our enemy here, he's not, besides, what good is a Pokemon mega stone to them, nothing and I didn't want to use force against Nest, I mean, that. Agent H said and his friend grabbed him by the nose and pulled him to the exit, furious at him and even more at Nest.
The relationship between Agent M and Agent H was usually rather friendly and collegial, but there was something else here, and now that a real opponent appeared on the horizon, Agent M could finally understand more, much more in her behavior and actions, see that she cared much more about her friend, but what H was doing was difficult for her to understand, but for now Nest was the first to strike, she was the one who was ahead of her at every moment, and now that was about to change, when H brushed the salt off his jacket suddenly M pulled him, bent him back and kissed him, and when she was done she let him fall to the ground, leaving him in complete shock.
- Now you know what my lips say to that. She said M and calmly left the chamber walking down a long corridor, Agent H had trouble keeping his balance when he stood up again.
- Oh boy, I think I'll need a vacation. Agent H said to himself and then he too disappeared into the darkness of the Wieliczka salt mine corridor.
L
Everyone would like, including me, for this to be the end, Antonio and Sisi found themselves in the human world, their hearts were bound together, and Mandulin, and Men In Black let go, but it is never so beautiful, Men In Black, and even more so Mandulin, they will not let go.
