The book is called: 'MIND.'
Penn has been reading it for months.
His mother bought it for him the previous Christmas.
He doesn't know the author.
Sometimes he reads the same chapter twice.
He does not ever want the book to end.
If only it really happened.
If only the room 'Ron' were true.
Penn has never been to Singapore, a great city.
For now, Sydney will do.
The book's pages are all falling apart.
Penn tries reading; he is at the tenth chapter.
There is silence in chaos.
He would have loved to meet Gita.
If only his mother had a funeral like Naan.
Iris is just like Julius.
The problem is that Penn is alone.
'Silence is won after the chaos of the day.'
This makes Penn chuckle loudly.
The book is there to amuse him.
If only his mother had left him a clue.
He turns to his phone.
He now knows the letter by heart.
Then he gets an idea: could it be true?
Alanda might be a nickname.
Someone she grew up with or hated.
It could even be someone from her university days.
Penn tries to read again.
Why did his mother buy this book?
She never gave presents she did not like herself.
The Mind; Penn must think.
The answer could be in the title.
His mother knows that he struggles to read books.
He had barely finished school.
Drawings and pictures are much more convenient.
Penn wishes he had more answers to her death.
His big glass of wine is empty.
Again, Penn looks at the title: 'MIND.'
As if his mother's asking him if he cares.
'I do mind,' Penn speaks.
He is so close to the end.
Two more chapters, then he will have a conclusion.
Then he gets the hint.
The room 'Ron' is just like heaven.
He'll only find it once he plays the game.
His mother is no more.
He will do everything she taught him.
It is now time to go back to Moscow.
Leave his depression behind him.
He will also stop drinking, be sober.
When he gets home, he will clean his place.
Today Penn makes a change.
He wants to be a better person.
Go out into the streets and just be righteous.
Maybe live a worthy life.
His mother did not die for nothing.
'The Naked Lady' is the beginning of his masterpiece.
Penn will use his talent.
He'll once more be a famous artist.
He will draw his mother a thousand times over.
