Bab 240: LEARNING FROM ILYA

THE name of the boy was Ilya and he was a year younger than Janea. He thought that after that day they met, the other would no longer appear in front of him. But surprisingly, he appeared again the next day and the day after. And then five years passed just like that. 

When he first told his mother about Ilya, she had this worried look on her face. It's like she wanted to say something but he forced himself back and only smiled. But somehow, Janea could feel that she only did so because she felt how excited he was telling her about the first friend he made.

He might not know a lot, but he's sensitive enough to feel his mother's emotions. So, he could tell how distress she was the moment he told her about Ilya. The other was probably worried that he would just end up getting hurt because of this unexpected connection. But she also couldn't bear to tell him not to talk to Ilya. Because she probably knew how much he longed for connection for other living beings.
