Chapter 15

“The bed is so comfortable…. Lying back on the bed, Pia closed her eyes. And I quickly opened my eyes again. ‘No…’ I looked left and right just in case, but there was no black fog. ‘Yes. It’s a dream. Now let’s get some sleep……’ Only after confirming that it was a dream did Pia comfortably close her eyes. When I close my eyes, I fall asleep quickly. No nightmare, and it was still comfortable to breathe. So the first night at Depodil House has passed.

The second nightmare at Depodil House

It’s been a week since I stayed at the Depodil House. What Pia did in the meantime was to learn the structure of the mansion and memorise the names of the employees. And learning the lifestyle of his employer, Henry Dale, and spending mornings and evenings with Leon, that’s what Pia did for a week.

Although she was hired as a tutor, her job was not just to teach. There was no personal time for Pia from morning until evening when Leon went to sleep because she had to play the role of a nanny as well. During the day, Leon takes an hour-long nap, which was his only personal time until 9 pm. But in this wasteland mansion, there was little to be done after nine o’clock at night. Because it was winter, the garden was full of snow, and the employees were silent, so it was difficult to approach them first. Henry Dale was out for less than an hour during the day. I eat in my room and lie in bed almost all day, so I feel really good.

There was no doubt that he was ill. Still, Pia had fun. Well, it was time to read a book in the library that I enjoyed after 9pm. No one disturbed me, so I monopolised the library and read books for as long as then. It was possible. Of course I didn’t read it  too late  at night. The next day, at least earlier than Leon because I had to get up. Because Leon was still young, he couldn’t be taught much. One of Pia’s jobs was to teach counting and reading and writing because she couldn’t teach history or humanities, and to draw pictures or read a book together, or to walk in a snowy garden in thick clothes.

“We could have a snowball fight in winter too…”
