One nervous man came to Baron's, Silvano's father, house. He said that he came to explain the murder of Tommaso. He borrowed Tommaso's money, and after his father's death, he paid everything back. But Tommaso came and threatened him. He said that there was one more man who was indebted to him, and he's the murderer. His name is Gervasio de' Oddini, Silvano's best friend. He said that he killed Tommaso for his wife and wealth. Baron had find out the truth. Isabella visited Anselmo.

Angelica was discussing about her plan with her own father. She told her plan, about marrying Gervasio. His father was worried about her fame because she may be called as a woman who had a lover when her husband was still alive. Angelica got the call and she was shocked. She said that Gervasio was arrested as a murderer of Tommaso. At Silvano's place, he met Brother Valentino at the hill. He was collecting the herbs. Silvano suggested him to go back with him, but Valentino rejected, saying he still has work to do.

Vincenzo and Angelica visited Gervasio, trying to take him out from the jail. They failed but Angelica suggested another option, to try to convince Baron, the one who admitted that he's a murderer. Vincenzo and Angelica went to Baron, beg for his generosity, but Baron was angry about putting his son as a murderer, giving him trouble, exile him from his hometown, separating him from family, and giving great sadness to them.

Chiara saw him leaving, and was really sad. But it's time for her to leave too. Isabella came to her and she told her everything. Also that Umberto has disappeared. Isabella was worried and decided to go to Anselmo's place. Chiara went with her and met Silvano and Anselmo again. Anselmo was recognized as innocent and went back with others. But there was another news that Umberto is dead. Silvano and Anselmo was talking then Fazio came in. Fazio asked for verde azzuro, then Silvano was behind and saw the blade on Fazio's hand. Silvano shouted to Anselmo but he was late. They fought each other. At the end Fazio cried out and the blood was spreading. Anselmo went to Father and admit that he killed Fazio. Silvano explained everything. Then they found Valentino's dead body. Every detail things became evidence that Fazio was the murderer for all the cases in the sanctuary. The case was solved and Chiara need to go back. Silvano told her that he'll go back and see her.
Days later, Chiara was looking out the window then she saw Silvano and his horse. She rubbed her eyes, then they disappeared. She heard knocking so she went down then heard a men's laughter. She saw Brother Anselmo, who is not friary anymore, holding Isabella's waist. Then she saw Silvano. Silvano asked her to believe him and she was willing. Silvano handed her his hand and grabbed it as if he'll never let it go.

Spectator Sport: Café

          The place has strong scent of coffee. Just from the entrance, I can already smell the scent of coffee and hear the sounds of coffee machine. There are chairs and tables arranged neatly in order, and people sitting by groups, having a cup of coffee and having plates of some delicious looking desserts. Waiters were walking around restlessly, taking orders from customers, and yet, still having smiles on their faces. On its wall, there're numerous pictures hanging, and flowers around, giving comfortable feelings and mellow atmosphere.

           The place was not that big or wide and their design was not that fancy but they're quite cute, simple, and nice. Some of their chairs looked like chairs on balcony or antique's chair, imbued with white color. Some looked like a wooden sofa, and some looked like black dinning chair. They had different kinds of appearances, but they all had one same thing. They all had reddish brown cushions on, to let people sit on or to support their sitting from behind. For tables, some surfaces were made out of glass, and were clear and transparent. Some were made out of wood with fabric covering the surface. The fabrics were imbrued with each different colors, red, white, green, turquoise, etc. The pictures hanging on the wall contained numerous people's photos. People in the photos were the café's owner, cooks, waiters, and some customers who frequently visited the café. They were all looking at the camera with a big smile on their faces, big and sparkling eyes, and with all different kinds of poses. There was something else,besides pictures, hanging on the wall, Iit was a house shaped clock. It gave away comfortable feeling whenever I glanced at it. There was white stairway, connected to 2nd floor. It had simple design, and it gave the feeling of expecting what will there be on the second floor. Will it have fancy  or antique sytle furniture? Will there be cute looking dolls with huge eyes sitting nicely, and having big smiles on their faces? Well that can be quite creepy. It gave off the imagination and the feeling of "I WANT TO GO UP AND SEE!".

              When you think  about café, people mostly think about coffee, but coffee's not the only option we can get in the café. It does sell foods which are close to desserts. They usually sell cakes and other kinds of desserts, such as sandwiches, etc. There’s a cheese cake with soft texture, sweet smell, nice yellowish color, and crunchy texture from the brownish crackers below the cheese. There’s also other numerous kinds, such as coffee flavor, having a bitterness but was covered by sweet creams and chocolate, and resulting the nice taste. There’s also vanilla cake, which has sweet taste and scent, and alot more. Still, the chocolate cake is the best. It gave sweet scent just by placing the plate containing the cake on the table. When I put it in my mouth, it just melted and the scent spreaded inside, giving me a sweet scent and taste and have a crunchy texture from cookie, contained inside as if it’s a protective wall for something precious inside. When I cracked the cookies, the chocolate cream flowed out from inside and filled up my mouth with sweet taste. It’s amazing. They have coffees, numerous kinds of teas, such as green tea, milk tea, etc. They also have chocolate drink, and sprite with blue color on the bottom with white color covering on the top as if you can imagine the ocean. Coffee gave off strong scent of bitterness, chocolate gave off sweet scent, and they were neutralized and gave off the best scent ever. Teas’ scents were not strong as theirs but when I have a sip of it, the fresh smell spreaded out in my mouth and gave nice feeling.

               All the customers in the café with various looks and personalities came to relax in the café. All people were waiting for the desserts just like how we, the students wait for the lunch time bell. There was a group of elementary kids sitting on the corners, eating chocolate cakes and laughing out loud with playing the games, the Nintendo DS. They were laughing with showing off their teeth imbued with brown chocolates and their lips were put on brown edible lipstick, the chocolate lipstick. They were not docile. Their laughter was destroying the pacific mood. They were quite unabashed about noises and things they were making. On another table, there was a couple, sitting beside the window, and having cups of coffee with a smile just for each other. They were just like a picture in a magazine.  After finishing up the desserts, I paid and exited from the café. As soon after I exited, I could smell the exhaust fumes from the cars and weird smells outside, which caused me horrible headache. Whenever I smell them, I just miss the comfort and nice scent the café gives, and just want to go back in again.

1 Word To Describe Me.....ORDINARY =)

There are variety kinds of words to describe me since I've got variety kinds of personalities, some may be good, some may be bad. It would be hard to choose only 1 word to describe me, but if I would choose it then I would choose the word "ordinary" to describe me.

I chose the word "ordinary" because first of all, I'm not specialist to something. I like sports, most of them, but I'm not super atheletic to be the no.1 in groups or sport teams and I don't enjoy all of the sports or all the time. I enjoy studying but not all kinds of subjects. I enjoy reading but only novels not other kinds of books, so I would not be a "bookworm". Same for all the other kinds of activities. I just like them how as "ordinary" people would like them.

As for my personalities, I have both good and bad personalities as other people would have. People cannot have only good personality. I could be kind sometimes, but I could be mean, cruel, or bad to some people sometimes. I could be gentle to some specific times but I could be harsh, especially if it's related to study stuffs. I could be playful, noisy, or talkative whenever I feel like sometimes, but I could be calm or quiet just like other people. I would be quiet or calm to new people whom I haven't met before, but will be friendly alot to them if I've got to know them more and become friends with them just as other people.

I don't have much differences with other people. I may have some little differences, but mostly people are ordinary, some specific people may not :P. I'm not veryyy badddd person either veryyy gooodddd person. I'm just normal or ordinary person who has both good and bad personalities.

So...yeah, all of these would be my reasonings. In conclusion, I'm not different person or an only one special person who like specific different things from others which the ordinary people won't like. I'm just same as others.

So..have a nice day and see you on next post :D
