7 Grow up and learn

It took 3 months for Gunnar to finally able to sit on his own. When Gunnar able to do this, his new mother sometimes bring Gunnar to veranda, put Gunnar to sit in her laps, enjoying morning sunshine and watching outside views. From veranda, Gunnar can see the surrounding environment near his house. It seems the place he currently live is a village on the mountain slope. Other houses can be seen in 50-100m range. A stone paved road connected his house and other house. A big tree stands tall in his house yard. Chirping birds can be heard from there. Sometimes when enjoying listening the bird's chirping sounds, her mother also singing some songs. Her voice is soft and clear, almost like angelic voice in Gunnar's ears, make him calm and comfort.

'You are the sun in my sky

Even when the stars all die

I'll be your shelter, shelter from the storm

I'll be there when you fall, and there'll be no pain

If you walk a lonely road, know that you're not alone

Cause I'll be your shelter'

When his mother singing, some birds even come alight, perching in veranda fences, as if listening to Gunnar's mother singing.

Gunnar also managed to learn some words since then. Such as his new name, his parents and other people names. His new name was Gunther, his mother's name was Marian, and his father name's was Jones. Two elderly people actually his father's parents, named Mr. Jonah and Mrs. Sylvia. Other young person is his father's brother and sister, named Johan and Sascha. Their family name is Markel, so Gunnar's new name is Gunther Markel.

Gunnar's grandfather seems to be this village chief. Everyday there're always villager that come to visit and talk with Mr. Jonah. When Gunnar (Gunther) was born, they even send many gifts for congratulate him. He is calm and composed person with aura like leader, and every villager see him with respect. He looks like a man in his 40's with black hairs like his sons. Black beards also grow in his chin, giving impression of a strong person. His wife, Gunnar's grandmother, is a woman with small stature, long grayish hair, which she tied into one big braid. She's doing house cores like washing and cleaning, while her daughter in law (Gunnar's mother) handles the cooking parts. In her leisure time, she doing some sewing and make many cute clothes for her grandson.

Gunnar's uncle and aunty looks like their parents in their youth time. His uncle Johan also inherit black hair from his father, meanwhile his aunty Sascha have grayish hair like his mother. Johan is a robust young man with muscular arms. Sometimes he goes out in the morning carrying bow and arrows and brings back some hunting game in the afternoon. Sascha is a vigorous young girl, when her brother out for hunting, she following him while carrying basket that will be full with fruits and mushroom when she return.

It's a harmonious family in which Gunnar somehow feeling lucky to be born in this family.
