And her reply amusing, in her understanding that the reptile was out just to cool off due to the heat, hence, it was beside the tap to source for some water and not to harm anyone. Right or wrong, but with Bettino, this is unheard of. But the reality is that, the dam reptile did not have to worm itself in Bettino’s compound to defy his order. He tends to soliloquized to himself, as he reflects to ask why on earth it has to choose this very cottage to cool off. He thanked his neighbor of what he comes to view as two mode of reasoning in his partial acceptance of the presence of the dark reptile. The next time he sighted it, it was behind one of the window where a the tap was install newly , a sort of making a frantic effort, to drink some water, irrespective of the danger this may pose. With this scenario, Bettino was getting convinced it actually was thirsting for water as long as it was constantly being seen beside the tap. As Bettino was never in the mood of killing it, he was prepared just only to drive it off the compound, and with time, as the winter drawn very close, it finally disappears from the scene and was never to be s seen again.

However, Bettino has been at work, when suddenly he decides to resigned himself for a reason best known to him, which reality was due in part of environmental intolerance. And when he finally opts to redundancy, he eventually fell into what looks like a depressive state of mind. And this was to last for a very long time. A situation that almost consume the best of him, as he decided to isolate himself completely from everyone and from everything. The truth could not be ascertained, as to whether he was truly aware of his state of being at the period as he fell into complete passivity. Only very few people tends to care of what he was going through or did not even understand he was going through any kind of situation. Bettino, had never come to know a lot of friends, hence, during this particular period, the only few friends he had known could not even come around to ask what was wrong with him. But he was contented, in his isolation, and was never prepared to see anyone, even though they send some emissary to verify the authenticity and motive of his recluse, but all in incognito.

However, he could not disclose his reason to anyone, as he assumed that they knew why he did what he did to resigned his job that eventually lead to what look an acute depression unknown anyone. Even his immediate neighbor, were not left out of his incognito depression and never cares to have anything to do with him. He was at this time, completely in his own world, be it cold or hot he would never talk to anyone, even if there was need for such communication. He would sleep late listening to American FM stations that play a great deal of musical of the sort of country music and he tends to get all the consolation he crave for at any point in time. He does it with equanimity, as if the deejay at the other end of the divide seems to know what he was going through. Because, most of the country -music tends to blend and interpret his very state of feelings. And this he was often very delighted about as it absorb and squeeze out of him some of the congeal depression that defy his logic to understand. Although, he was well aware, that recognizing his predicament enables him to trust more of his logic than the imagination when it all matter most.

It is during the winter that the beauty of the environment with snow fall becomes so fascinating. And it is always extraordinary as it lack adequate word to express the nature’s generosity and ingenuity at this time. It becomes a sight of extraordinary structure behind the mountain, unique in its way with a compelling attraction and embodiment of various elements; any contemporary culture has ever been exposed to have witnessed. Within the vicinity of this cottage are other cottages of equidistant apart. In one of this unique cottage resides this old middle age man of average height with fair color who seems to have migrated from Latin American country side. According to reliable information, he was said to be around this part of the enclave - coli-village for just a couple of years back. And was not having difficulty getting to know everyone around due to his friendly nature.

Often, he gave an impression of one who knew the environment beyond what is expected of him and others do not know. Such that he is not quite an ignorant, in being exposed to the fascination of collie –Eugenie kind of stuff. He looks like a man who has traveled a great deal, not without a unique experience as such. He was also said to be very lucky to be in the cottage he has just packed into a couple of weeks ago. Before then a bunch of travelers have always wished they could get the cottage rented, and if nothing else for their summer holiday. Unfortunately their dreams never sail through to the reality of getting the cottage. With the providence on the part of Bettino, he got the place on a Plata gold in an enviable manner and quite unexpected. Although, he was unaware of the providential hand and the level of connections at play in his favors. Nevertheless, due to what looks like an intrinsic connection, unknown to Bettino, his friend who collaborated to make it possible, spearheaded the initial maintenance of the cottages. At the end of it all, Bettino was expecting he would ask for some token of payment to have carried out the maintenance but to his unimaginable surprise , his friend was so adamant in asking for any recompense.
The truth of it all is that, the level of appreciation was not measurable compared with the level of assistance given. Although, Bettino, in his passiveness, never really say more than “thank-you “whenever such good is done for him. This gesture did tends to remind him of his past of which he was always been forced to say these words due to their importance. And he was reared in what looks like a staunch –conservative environment, of which what seems to count when an offense is committed against any one is just to say “Iam sorry” or when any good is done- you simply say “thank you” and that end it. But the level of excitement compared with most liberal attitude could be regarded as insufficient appreciation in is estimation.
