Fragment

One day I left An Bang Beach and rode on my bicycle on a parallel road along the beachfront in the direction of the house of Mr. Kai. I was surprised to see some flags - even de Danish one - hanging at the front of his property and got the idea that maybe family or friends were over to visit him. When I arrived at the gate I saw it was open which was very unusually. Most of the time their car was on the ramp and their dogs would ‘welcome’ me. Suddenly the wife from Mr. Kai came out of the house and beckoned at me. When she came, closer I asked if Mr. Kai was at home. It was surreal to hear that he just had passed away that night. He was already laid out, his coffin in the middle of the living room surrounded by symbols, candles and incent sticks that spread their sent throughout the room.
She asked me to come father but I felt very uncomfortable because I still was only wearing my wet swimming trouser and a shirt. But she kept insisting so at last I got up the steps to the porch from where I entered the front room. I took of my slippers and barefoot I walked aside the coffin to see Mr. Kai. He still was as he always was and he looked peaceful in his yellow decorated resting place. I got handed an incent stick which I lighted and after having made a bow put it in a vase in front of the coffin. It was a surrealistic situation me standing in front of a deceased person, lighting an incent stick while from time to time water drips were falling on my foot from my still wet swimming trouser. Mr. Kai would not mind. He was a broad-minded person and sure he would smile at the situation if he still could. Maybe he was? ×
