July 08 7 / 42 / TO SOLVE THE CRYPTIC SPEECHES OF ADULTS... There were some people who are living on the bottom floor like them. Their doors were mutual. They had come from a small place too. They were a childless husband and wife. But the woman was fat, the man was slim this time. The slim guy was always looking for a job. Some fighting noise was rising from their house all the time. One day, the slim guy left the house, the fat woman stood alone. When Gabi and Sabi went to visit her, Seven joined them. But her mother faced Seven and opened her eyes a bit more. Seven said "I will keep quiet". Or did she do it not to join them? Before entering the house, Seven removed her slippers like her mother and walked in barefoot. The fat woman was scratching constantly. She cried continually as whining. While they were drinking their tea, she sighed deeply and mused. Then she grumbled again... Then she scratched again... Then she stripped to the buff and showed where she was scratched on her body. Whenever she showed the places she scratched on her body, she scratched again. Whenever she scratched, she complained. While she was dressing, her big body was moving ceaselessly in the murky room. She was scratching like to have suffering an attack of the bees. She was like a crazy... Gabi looked at her pityingly. To solve the cryptic speeches of adults was not difficult always. When Gabi was mentioning about the fat man, she was sayig "Adam". Seven was thinking that Adam had an important role in their lives in Nekanury. But even if it was, he had no hubris, he didn't act high and mighty. When he doesn't eat something, he was looking around with compassionate glances. One time, when the lonely fat woman was in Gabi's house, Adam came too. Gabi took the food packages from his hand and put aside. But when she came back and saw that they were looking at one another, she got very nervous. She didn't say anything, but when she was correcting the clasp on her bun, the angry flames were gushing from her eyes. Immediately after that day, Gabi began to search a house in a flurry. She didn't want to live in Adam's house anymore. When they moved into the new house in a few days, Gabi and Adam were like in peace again.
Adam's workers removed their few furnitures. The bundles which were taken with a hand truck from the ground floor to the new house at the end of the street, looked very old in the eyes of Seven for the first time. The pots and pans in the bags sounded with a rude clatter and Seven was ashamed of it. She went away from the hand truck and began to walk separately. Sometimes she took surreptitious glances toward the back. When her mother smiled as if she understood her "play", she hung her head with hastiness. One of her mother's incidors was glowing yellow like slim woman's bracelets. She had never been noticed before that much. Happily, the size of her mother's skirt was like people in this city. Happily her mother was not dressing in layers like her grandmother. Happily she was wearing a wristwatch.
She looked at the children on the street. they were alike apparently though but they were very comfortable between them. They were not timid and retiring like Seven. And one more thing, their eyes were both the same color. People like Seven were unusual here. Seven wished to see a child who has different color eyes, but no... The children were playing aloud in the gardens of the apartment buildings, they had lost themselves nearly. As soon as Seven saw the ball which runs to the street, she took it and threw them back. The children took the ball without looking at her even one moment and went on their play. Seven felt her mother beside of her sometime. Her mother held her hand tightly and dressed her down: "Don't jump up the street like that!" She opened an iron garden gate with her other hand and pushed Seven in. So was this building. When they pass by the big garden, Seven looked at only a few weak trees. Alas, there was no any poplar tree here. There were just a few trees and they were too feeble.
The pompons on her socks were bouncing up and down, while she was walking. She loved to watch them. While she was watching the pompons, she and her mother ascended the stairs of the second apartment in Nekanury; one floor, two floors, three floors, till the last seventh floor. She got used to apartments anymore.
