CHAPTER 101: AN INDIVIDUAL OF BAD INTEREST

"Welcome to my home, Gavin and Isaac!" A giant white smile was lifting Zarkobretch's cheeks up in amusement after seeing the couple. The warm and hot illumination of the inside embraced the boys well. The tall walls covered in dark grey and white metal were [continue later]. "How was your flight?" Zarko locked the door right after they entered. At first, the boys saw about fifteen people chatting around that initial area of the house. None of them noticed their presence, and both wanted to keep that way. Angelina and Benjamin were somewhere over the backyard.

"It was just fine. Very quick, by the way." Gavin said. Isaac was by his side and the shorter one held his bicep while they walked with Zarkobretch. Gavin was wearing a cream colored fluffy sweater that matched Isaac's dark grey one made of the same fabric.

"I said we could exceed the speed limit a bit and no one would notice." Isaac said.

"So that is a privilege I would like to have!" Zarko laughed. "How have you been, gentlemen? It has been a while since we last saw each other." Two weeks in Qorjal felt like forever since the long 36 hours days. They stopped walking and Thrydalliv held his hands together in front of his body.

"We have been busy, Zarko." Gavin crossed his arms and switched glances with Issac, indirectly confirming what he said. "Business days got us real hard."

"Oh, you children. You will get used to it. Oh, Sénya! Come here, my love." He called out for his wife, who was on the other side of the room. She turned her head at the sound of her name and her golden colored hair beautifully flowed in the air. She was a bit smaller than Zarkobretch but still tall. Sénya wore a sparkly silver dress that reached the height of her ankles almost. High heels on the same color sounded in their direction as the black skinned woman excitedly walked. Sénya stood by her husband's side. "Darling, please meet the greatest people of this country. Gavin Brandon Malone and Isaac Bethervan." Zarko liked to exaggerate on the flattering over the boys. That was the way he was. He treated everyone that way, but he liked them in special.

"Oh my Liberator! It is a pleasure to have you in my house Mr. President and finally meet you in person. Zarko talks about you like you were the next galaxy he wants to reach." They giggled at her joke. Sénya's voice was profound, rough but enchanting.

"The pleasure is all mine, Mrs-" She interrupted Gavin.

"Sénya. No misses or misters tonight. Except for you, obviously." She said while smiling.

"We can exclude that on me too." He would be very thankful.

"And look at you." She said to Isaac while holding his face with amusement in voice. "I remember you when you were in the height of my calves and now you are taller than both Zarko and I! Who could have ever imagined that you would be one of the faces of our nation and let me tell you what a face. Dear, you have become a splendid handsome man. I am very happy for you two."

"I appreciate your compliments, Sénya. It has been an insane journey, but I am happy to be where I am today." He glanced at Gavin an squeezed his shoulder weakly.

"Hopefully from now on we will only have reasons to celebrate." She picked up two fancy cups with a transparent liquid in it that looked like water and handed to them. "I hope you have an awesome night with us today, boys." Sénya excused herself and walked to another point in the room to talk with other guests. Zarkobretch remained. There was a reason behind his inviting to the boys besides just their presence.

"Now I would like to introduce you to some people, gentleman." He started walking further in the room and the boys followed, staying a bit behind the man.

"Drink it slowly or else it will burn your throat." Isaac advised his lover already knowing what the cup held inside. The smell was not appealing as well, but it was popular in the entire country.
