So, after three months of coming back to the Bank, Cuca thought in getting a better position inside the Office and she started to go at an academy which name was Jorge Juan, the same name that has the street where the academy was situated.
It
was January, winter in Madrid, and the couple (M. Jose and J.
Luis ) thought the same when they were going up the stairs of
Jorge Juan Institute.
It is a good Institute with two hours of teaching, from seven p.m., till nine.p.m., countability, bussines mathematics and some other subjects were teached inside its rooms.
It is a good Institute with two hours of teaching, from seven p.m., till nine.p.m., countability, bussines mathematics and some other subjects were teached inside its rooms.
What
was thinking emiliano by those time?
Where
was he when dear Cuca was at home recovering from her
broken
hip?
How
was his life for that time?
Did
he know something of this girl and her accident in the mountains?
Easy
to remember, emiliano´s life was simple, he knew nothing about the
girl, he listen to some comments his sister said about the accident
as all his family used to go to the mountains and he did the same,
but without relations with the people Cuca was in touch.
This
kind of news, the accident of a young girl who was working in the
Central Office was a subject of lot of conversations, talks and of
course every one was sorry for the kind of accident one of the young
girl has suffered.
There
were some versions of the accident, one was that she has to wait a
lot of time to be helped, that her behaviour was really good, that she
was really bad, and so forth.
Soon,
this kind of news changed and every one of the people were at their
bussines.
Emiliano
didn´t remember anything till the moment he and Cuca talked long and
told each other their own story.
Emiliano
was thinking he has to go to the Spanish army if he wants to be off
from the country.
So
in September same year Cuca´s accident he was mobilised and went to
a city near Madrid to serve as a soldier in the army.
This
was really awful to him, being a peaceful boy that didn´t believe in
the army, flags, wars, weapons, and all these subjects he was very
disappointed with being mobilised but he could not do anything, he
has to go, and point.
Badly
he started his service and after he “swear the flag” he has to
remain in the military camp where he was trained.
That
was really very bad to him, being in that awful place, the military
camp, far away of Madrid he can do nothing. None of his ideas were
possible now, he has to wait a full year to study and get a good
place at the Bank, earn money in Madrid doing extra hours or similar
and have his passport to go...where?, to Canada?.
Yes,
that was his idea that now seems very far.
It
was like impossible to have a destination out from this military
training camp and the future of a year inside it was really bad for
him that dislike so much the place, the army, the soldiers and
everythin in relation with the army.
It
was not his final destination to be there for long, soon came a
superior order from Madrid, The Mayor State, that the soldier
emiliano has to go to Madrid as fast as possible as he has another
destination in this high Department.
Just
incredible, no body goes out from the training camp, how was this be
possible?. No matter how, the fact was that he left the training camp
immediately and phoned the relative that has moved the threads to
make this movement possible.
Now
he was in Madrid, and have enough time to study, to go every place at
the evenings, and just do lot of thing he wanted to do.
Why
was it possible being in the Army?. Well his army service was only in
the mornings, from eight a.m. to three p.m., some days till two only
and he was happy having this incredible free time every day.
However
being happy as he was, with a lot of free time for him quite soon he
started to think in going a place to be teached, countability and
bussines mathematics was his goal, get a higher site in the Bank´s
office was his purposes and afterward save enough money to make true
his dreams.
Jorge
Juan Institute seems a good place to attend and have the opportunity
of pass the Bank´s exam.
February
month was ahead and the two personages of this story were going to
meet very soon.
There we are, Jorge Juan Institute and a new pupil sitting in a desk.
It is Emiliano on his first day of class. To him all is new, there is a long time since the last time he was sitting on a desk watching round him all the people who will be his partners, even the professor it is a new face.
He doesn´t know anybody, no that´s no true, there is a known face he knew from the mountains trips, yes Jesus, a nice boy who shared the
bed room sometimes when they go to the Hispano Club.
That´s good, it is better to have a known face if you are a new comer that goes late, when the course has opened since a month o two ago.
Shake hands, how are you? and they sit together, that´s right.
How long is he going to be here?, till june more or less, when first test at the Bank Office will be, if he pas the first it will be another test may be in September, close near to get his licence from the army that will be in December.
Emiliano´s mind was thinking all these subjects while the professor was reading some writing works about a rubbish strike in New York.
A rubbish strike in New York?, funny, here in Spain strikes are forbidden by the law and it is difficult to imagine something like a rubbish strike, at least we are in winter he thinks.
Pelegrin, the professor, started to read another work and the new comer emiliano stop thinking and put some attention to the new reading.
Nice, a nice work with humor and very good written he thinks, let see who is the author.
No author, the girl who writes it has not come today, who could be? he say to him, I would like to know.
Next day Emiliano was again in the class and take a sit just behind a couple, a young boy and a very young nice girl, really nice he thinks.
He has arrived with Jesus who seems to know the boy and the girl, emiliano was sitting silence watching everything with his eyes looking at the nice girl who was also silence watching the two boys talk.
When the class was over, Jesus and the other boy, Jose Luis, left the class and the girl was alone, just the same like emiliano.
Suddenly she turn her body, relax on the wall, look at him and said:
He, you are a new comer, aren´t you?.
Yes, of course, it is my second day here.
After a while of some talk the new professor comes to the class and gives a paper to her saying it is a good work.
So, it is from you, emiliano says, it is very good, funny and very good written, I like it very much.
How do you know, says her.
Well, yesterday Pelegrín read it and I think it was the best of all.
Thank you very much, ....uhm, your name please?
Emiliano, and yours?
Maria Jose but friends call me Cuca.
Nice to meet you Cuca, just a pleasure.
+++++
Everything about this story started so, Cuca turning her body to the
right, relaxing her back on the wall and greeting emiliano with her
word, he, you are a new comer, aren´t you?.
Why she do such a thing?, there is not any explanation as Cuca was a shy girl that doesn´t speak with people she doesn´t know.
Why for she does such step?.
Along years this couple has been for long thinking what happened to
her to do such a thing so odd in her way of doing.
She has done this gesture for the best, as the story of these two young
persons started just from this moment.
In Spanish could be, Hola, tu eres nuevo, no?.
She knows perfectly well emiliano is a new comer so the real motive for
her could be she wants to talk with this boy.
Is this a mutual crush? a Cupido´s arrow?.
It could be, but we have to wait some months to see it.
Yes, of course, some moths because Cuca is dating with Jose Luis (in fact she was engaged with him) and emiliano is a serious boy that doesn´t want to interfere in a love relation, which ever kind of relation it could be.
That´s not the way of emiliano actions and for him, a serious person, that kind of behaviour could be not ethic.
Silly boy after all, as in love of war there are not rules.
Evidently, he likes the girl, very much endeed, but she was dating another boy, such a problem, but to talk with her or going out with both it is nice for him and he doesn´t think in other subject that following their talking outside the Jorge Juan Institute.
In future he could repeat these actions some times, not very frequently
as he would like to do, but it wasn´t in his will as he doesn´t know the boy or the girl enough to ask them for a walk. It was always the other boy Jesus who likes to talk with Jose Luis about futbol and emiliano has his chance when the two boy where talking ahead walking up till Cuca, yes Cuca, house.
After two months everthing will be finished as Cuca and the boy will change their desks in the class, and emiliano has less opportunities of talking with the girl.
Having this in mind, he goes back the class and watched the couple curiously asking by himself "what have seen this incredible nice girl
in a boy like Jose Luis", it is a mistery for emiliano and he thinks that
the boy is handsome, good looking, and physical attraction was the only motive for her.
Other reasons are unthinkable for emiliano as this boy Jose Luis seems very simple minded for him, but who knows girls?. What is in the soul of a girl?, what is the choice of a girl like this one, Cuca?, only physical attraction?.
I don´t think so, were the thoughts of emiliano, it have to be something more as the girl is inteligent, nice, beautiful, well she has everything I like in a girl and it is sure I WILL BE HAPPY WITH HER FOR EVER, if she choose me and love me as I want, just a pity she is dating already.
I don´t like to suffer it is better to put some distance, was his feelings without being alert about them.
Poor boy Emiliano, he is hard inside his heart about falling in love with the first o second girl he could meet, or the hundred or thousan, that is his way of feeling.
Difficult to find a girl who could like him specially and the one he meets
is engaged?. There is not a reason for that, so many time alone without a loving one, and now.....nothing?.
Walks to Cuca´s house were finishing some time elapses and without any walks chats between the two youngs were also difficult.
Only their chats could continued if Jesus and Jose Luis were out to smoke or to take the air, then Cuca and Emiliano talk about different subjects that the two young could be interested.
They were really interesting about what was happening out their
Spanish world.
Young movements were increasing through the world but the most important subject to be against was Vietnam´s War.
Of couse Emiliano was against the war too, and he read everything that was written about it.
What were doing american soldiers in this country?, he thought, nothing was clear or undestable about the war and to him who rejected all kind of them, this one was specially worst.
By the time many American soldiers were deserting, and even youngs of that country forced to military service and therefore be mobilized was crossing the borders of Sweden, Canada or Australia for not going to that war.
Vietnam War was one of the most most rejected, portrayed, and hated of the wars till that moment. All wars are awful but this one was even more.
There were world movements against the War, even some popular reactions like Hippies in the USA and some more in Europe.
The popular music was full of peacefully songs written and singed by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, John Lenon and some other more that made incredible good songs.
One of the best songs written by Lenon on 1971 was "Imagine"
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
+++++
But even groups as Simon and Garfunkel made Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme
Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather
(War bellows, blazing in scarlet battalions)
Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme
(Generals order their soldiers to kill)
And to gather it all in a bunch of heather
(And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten)
Then she'll be a true love of mine
or The Doors with Jim Morrison in their Album "Wainting for the Sun"
Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older
The unknown soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Unborn living, living, dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
And it's all over
For the unknown soldier
++++++
Like these songs there were other than for Emiliano were like masterpieces written in hard days of Vietnam´s War.
Even songs written following the Hippie movement were famous and emiliano liked so much as to talk about them to his secret loving girl Cuca that was enchated listening to him.
One he likes so much was "San Francisco" Scott Mackencie was the singer, and it was about Hippies movement.
There we are, Jorge Juan Institute and a new pupil sitting in a desk.

Phillips, John Edmund Andrew
So, Emiliano´s mind was always full of these subjects, Vietnam´s war news, movements, songs, the hippies in California, and what is was the rule in Spain then, all the students movements against Franco´s dictorshipment that were growing up inside all the universities of the Nation.
Even in France, German and other European countries student movements were growing up furiously against the social strictly rules that not were accepted by a new young generation.
May of 1968 in Paris was ahead, and everything would be changing since that global movement and incredible protest in the streets of Paris and other European cities.
This couple, Cuca and Emiliano, have such a lot of subjects to talk about that was impossible for them to stop their chatings.
to be continued....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They would like to talk for ever, at least emiliano, but it was complicated for this couple.
After two months Cuca and Jose Luis take their seat at the first row of the class, why?. No body knows, but emiliano are not behind them any more.
There are not more opportunities for Cuca and emiliano to talk one with the other when there is a short in the class.
Finally Emiliano take his seat at the end of the class room in the last row.
From this situation he could watch everything round him and frequently his sight was fix on the back of Maria Jose.
He are thinking nothing, nothing at all as this girl has her boyfriend at her side and there some things it is not possible to change.
Not hoping anything he frequently thinks on her, he thinks that with this girl he could be happy for ever. She is the one, the one he likes absolutely and it is out hand, or out his heart already as this by doesn´t like to suffer.
Why for suffering or thinking impossible goals?.
Litle by little things settle down, feelings start to be cold and every one of the boys attent their lessons onf countability, composition and commercial mathematics. It is necessary to do this if they want to pass the exams at the bank.
There will be two exams at the Bank, the two will be written exams. Firts one of countability, language, mathematics with two or three problems, composition, and even some other tests of general culture.
Once the first exam will be pass for some of the students will be a second one about Bank´s Office themes, and this will be very difficult as it is necessary to learn lot of commercial terms of the own Bank.
First exam will be takeen on first days of June, and the other will be on October in other to give some time to study the Bank´s subjects.
All the candidates that approve the final exam of October will take a place in the Bank offices as first official inside the Bank organization.
That wlll attached a significative increase of the month salary but even
a reward of money for the time this charge of official could be free without being covered.
It could be a lot of money by the difference between the salary of an auxiliar and the official´s salary obliged in that site since a long time.
Emiliano and every one of the candidates want a good exam result and consequenly a good number to take the older official sites, as much time without being covered the official place more money to earn.
So, it was not enough to pass the exam, Emiliano wants a good number to get a nice sum of money.
Why for Emiliano wants the money?, just to save it and get enough savings to go soon to Canada.
It could be twisted but he wants to be official not to work in the Bank in a better place, no, that was not the point. He wants the money to be off from the Bank and from the country.
So, in a short period of time he was thinking all these subjects and fix his attention on the studies, just a good help to keep away his mind from the nice girl who has takeen his heart so strongly.
Meanwhile this boy was doing his military service at the mornings with different people and an absolute strictly atmosphere.
Where is Emiliano doing his service?, that´s good question an it is secret by the moment as he is in the Secrect Military Sevice trying to be invisible over there.
Invisible and without thought, just doing his duty that is tyiping secret documents with the tyipwriter. His mouth is shut, his eyes don´t see anything and his mind is empty.
Being inside a progresists of the left side it is funny that he is in the Secret State sharing secrets of the moment. Listening to the police radio station, taking notes about what is happening in the State, and afterward tyiping them to the colonel who is in charge of the secret Service.
Emiliano doesn´t wear his soldier uniform any more and he is happy about the subject.
Type the documents every morning, give them to the official in charge and he doesn´t think any more.
He is just awaiting to next december to be off from the army for ever.
Nothing to be with this people as in fact they are nice and good educated.
Not any problem disturb him in the office, so days pass fluently and happy thoughts were always in his mind.
Meanwhile what is doing Cuca?. Well, she is working in the head office of the Bank and doing some rehabilitation to her leg. Never she talk about this question with Emiliano the same as he neither talk of his morning work to her or to anybody, it is just secret inside his mind and he likes not to remember anything once he is out the Office.
Difficult to tell what you do´t remember, that is Emiliano´s actitude.
to be continued
Time is passing on and everything reminds the same in the life of this two young people.
Both of them were studing, working in the mornings and going to the academy at evenings.
They don´t speak to much now, being separate in class it is difficult to talk, beside inside Emiliano´s mind there is something similar as being on guard against his inner feelings about the girl.
He likes her a lot, but better not to think too much just the same as he does with his morning work. He types thinking another subjects and hes is at the class room looking at her thinking on his future projects.
Lessons are very easy for him so it not requires a big effort to get everything in his mind.
Emiliano had been a student till the age of 21 years old, he is desighner, and before getting his work at Bank he was studing to be an enginer, so this kind of Bank´s studies are really easy for him.
Not and extra effort is necessary to him so his mind is free to be thinking in his future far away from Spain with his eyes looking to that girl who is seating at the first row of the class room.
Withouth knowing what he does he looks at the girl with pleasure and he is alert to all her movements.
Day after day the class room is full of young people that wanted the same goal that our friends, Cuca, Emiliano, Jose Luis and Jesus.
Nothing remains calm for long and this situation is going to break quite
soon.

THE SUN SHINES ONCE AGAIN....cuca/emiliano´s story
Spring has came, Emilano´s blood is hotter in this beautiful season
in Madrid city.
Something good is going to happens that could change the life of these young persons.
Cuca and Emiliano are not aware of what destinity has reserved them, may be "God ways are inscrutable" and it was not said the last word about the relationship of them.
A day of April the girl has came alone to the class room and she is waiting the teacher siting on her desk in the firs row as always, even Emiliano is sitting on his desk looking at her.
When she looks to him it was like a flash, Emiliano gets up and goes
ahead to where she is alone, and greets her friendly.
How are you Cuca?
Well, I am very well.
Are you alone?
Yes, Jose Luis can´t today and I have came alone.
Great, it is good not to lost a single lesson.
Yes, I think the same.
They start to talk about the lessons and how the weather was, it is always easy to talk about the weather when it is a long time without
having a conversation.
Nevertheless they soon started to have their friendly talk of ever but this time more frankly.
The teacher is delayed and they take their sit one in front the other
close enough to talk low, only for them, as a point they forget where
they were and everything disappear round them.
For him there is only her and for the girl there is only him, so calm, so
easy to talk with that she started to tell him her story.
She tell Emiliano her fall on the snow, how bad it was as to break her
hip, the long time she has been without moving, and all the subjects
about her life that Emiliano doesn´t know.
The air is magic for them, spring is outdoors and the time pass without
being perceived by these girl and boy.
Nearly an hour and half they were talking without any hurry, and the teacher doesn´t appear.
They were nearly alone as lot of other young has leaving already.
Finally another teacher appears and say to the few people who still were in the class that the professor couldn´t come so they could left
and go out if they want.
So Cuca and Emiliano, goes to take their things and left the class room
with great pain. It has last so brief than now they are in the street again and Emiliano said good by to Cuca as they are taken different ways.
Something has been removed inside them, in their souls, but it has
been like a flash and it is finished again.
What incredible nice girl thinks Emiliano when he is going home by the underground, she is so beautiful and our conversation is quiete, soft,
amusing, we laugh as we know each other for a long time.
It seem we are very good friends after all and we feel very confortable together, it seems for me she is the in the same form like me, thinks the boy but could he be sure about this?. Why is dating this incredible girl with that boy?. It has been great tha he hasn´t came today, thinks
Emiliano, reviving their conversation once and again.
What is thinking Cuca when she is going home?
Well, the girl thinks about the different talk she has with that boy Emiliano than with Jose Luis, her fiance, it is different.
With the boy who has been in the class room till now she could talk about everything, even she has told him her life along the last two years and he seems really interested.
Little by little the old idea she has that her situation is not good with Jose Luis take shape in her mind, she can´t talk with her boyfriend the same way she talks with Emiliano, is it natural?, no it is not a good life for future, just to be the wife of a man that she can´t talk with.
She has not confidence to speak with him the way she has done with Emiliano and this is absolutely fundamental to Cuca.
To have confidence with your couple is essential to her, talk with him, relax on him, stand by him too, and nothing of these are happening now. Even a boy that she doesn´t know well awake inside her a nice unknown feeling of pleasure and friendship.
This is unusual she was thinking, what I know about Emiliano?. Where is he going now?, may be, is he going to see his girlfriend?, Who knows?. He is always in a hurry, as he has to go another place after here, beside it is a nice looking boy and sure he is dating already. But, what I am thinking, I don´t care about his life, what I care is that I can talk with him too much better than with Jose Luis, even I have been telling him lot of things that usually I didn´t like to say any body, but with Emiliano it seems so easy to say him what happened to me in Navacerrada mountains, my year being at home without moving and so may things, it is absolutely surprising to me this incredible behaviour with a boy so serious like Emiliano.
But he is soft for me, I think we could talk for hours without being tired of this long talk, eve he is so attentive to my story.
Every moment I am thinking that was a mistake to say Jose Luis I was going to be his girl friend, he is nice and a good boy, his behaviour with me was really good when I need friendship but I can´t be married only because I am so grateful with him, I think it is necesary to feel he is my boy for ever, the one with I like to be everymoment, who listen to me the way this other boy, Emiliano, has been.
I think it is not Jose Luis, he is good, it is me that I am not so confident to talk with him, I really can´t it is a feeling that he doesn´t understand me at all.
Maria Jose´s mind was full of ideas about her boy friend, herself, their relation, and even about the boy she has been talking so well, creating round them an atmosphere so nice, pleasant, soft, so much confidence and the feeling of been understood for Emiliano was present for her, now and then, in fact always they have been talking.
Coming home she stopped her thoughts, but they are going to remind
for long, it has been like this night being along with that boy a veil had fallen from her eyes and mind for ever, and the ideas she was thinking months before now there were more clear.
At last she said for herself, this relation has little future, it is better to cut it as soon as possible without hurting Jose Luis that has been so good friend to me.
Emiliano is coming home like in a cloud, he was happy, he was thinking in Cuca all the way back, how nice girl she was, how much has she suffering with her broken hip, how good conversation they had, it is such a pity she is dating already.
Why when he find a girl like Cuca, so unique, she is dating already?.
Are he going to do anything?, well it is not my style, if she is dating it has to be because she likes Jose Luis, it can not be other reason and he, Emiliano, am not going to do anything. She has all my respect he was thinking, there is not way to do nothing diffierent with this girl, she is fair and good, she is not going to change one boy for other, it is clear for Emiliano, beside why do you think Emiliano, she could likes you?.
Awake boy, don´t dream any more, Cuca is engaged already, she is not for you boy.
Despite this alert Emiliano was happy, he has been so delighted with her that nothing matter, he has to live the moment and don´t think in future.
Once he is at home, he likes to tell his sister Esther something about the girl and her story, but even he is talking with his mother about the nice girl who fall in Guadarrama mountains and has to be in bed nearly a year.
Yes, that girl of the bank that we listened about her accident, don´t you remember mom?, yes said his father, yes said his other sister Paquita, I remember her very well, it was comented for weeks among the friends in the Bank.
It is funny that Emiliano´s father and his older sister Paquita are working in Banco Hispano Americano too, the same like him.
May be is it a family tradiction to work in the same Bank?.

Something was in the air that propiciate lot of changes, youngs at the universities were all days in strike, they were agains the dictatorshipment, agains the lack of liberty, they all want a new society to express themselves with more freedom.
Vietnam´s war was a let motive to be agains all kind of weapons, all kind of wars, to agaist the army of all countries, agains the societe of that time that was so constricted to the old rules.
After more than trwenty years since the end of the second war the new generation want to change everything.
Spain was one of the countries were the protests were increasing day after day.
In EE.UU., happens the same, in West Germany and all west European countries were happening the same.
The world have been at the edge of be destroyed by the missiles crisis in Cuba.
A red telephone was created between Moscou and Washington to elude
another crisis like that.
Even Holliwood has made a film by Stanley Kubrick where this nuclear crisis was pariodied in one of his great movies.
The world has takeen off its breath waiting for the bombs, but thanks God nothing happened in this called:
The Cuban missile crisis—known as the October crisis or The Missile Scare (Spanish: Crisis de octubre) in Cuba and the Caribbean crisis (Russian: Карибский кризис, tr. Karibskiy krizis) in the former USSR—was a 13-day confrontation in October 1962 between the Soviet Union and Cuba on one side and the United States on the other side. The crisis is generally regarded as the moment in which the Cold War came closest to turning into a nuclear conflict[1] and is also the first documented instance of mutual assured destruction (MAD) being discussed as a determining factor in a major international arms greement.

They would like to talk for ever, at least emiliano, but it was complicated for this couple.
After two months Cuca and Jose Luis take their seat at the first row of the class, why?. No body knows, but emiliano are not behind them any more.
There are not more opportunities for Cuca and emiliano to talk one with the other when there is a short in the class.
Finally Emiliano take his seat at the end of the class room in the last row.
From this situation he could watch everything round him and frequently his sight was fix on the back of Maria Jose.
He are thinking nothing, nothing at all as this girl has her boyfriend at her side and there some things it is not possible to change.
Not hoping anything he frequently thinks on her, he thinks that with this girl he could be happy for ever. She is the one, the one he likes absolutely and it is out hand, or out his heart already as this by doesn´t like to suffer.
Why for suffering or thinking impossible goals?.
Litle by little things settle down, feelings start to be cold and every one of the boys attent their lessons onf countability, composition and commercial mathematics. It is necessary to do this if they want to pass the exams at the bank.
There will be two exams at the Bank, the two will be written exams. Firts one of countability, language, mathematics with two or three problems, composition, and even some other tests of general culture.
Once the first exam will be pass for some of the students will be a second one about Bank´s Office themes, and this will be very difficult as it is necessary to learn lot of commercial terms of the own Bank.
First exam will be takeen on first days of June, and the other will be on October in other to give some time to study the Bank´s subjects.
All the candidates that approve the final exam of October will take a place in the Bank offices as first official inside the Bank organization.
That wlll attached a significative increase of the month salary but even
a reward of money for the time this charge of official could be free without being covered.
It could be a lot of money by the difference between the salary of an auxiliar and the official´s salary obliged in that site since a long time.
Emiliano and every one of the candidates want a good exam result and consequenly a good number to take the older official sites, as much time without being covered the official place more money to earn.
So, it was not enough to pass the exam, Emiliano wants a good number to get a nice sum of money.
Why for Emiliano wants the money?, just to save it and get enough savings to go soon to Canada.
It could be twisted but he wants to be official not to work in the Bank in a better place, no, that was not the point. He wants the money to be off from the Bank and from the country.
So, in a short period of time he was thinking all these subjects and fix his attention on the studies, just a good help to keep away his mind from the nice girl who has takeen his heart so strongly.
Meanwhile this boy was doing his military service at the mornings with different people and an absolute strictly atmosphere.
Where is Emiliano doing his service?, that´s good question an it is secret by the moment as he is in the Secrect Military Sevice trying to be invisible over there.
Invisible and without thought, just doing his duty that is tyiping secret documents with the tyipwriter. His mouth is shut, his eyes don´t see anything and his mind is empty.
Being inside a progresists of the left side it is funny that he is in the Secret State sharing secrets of the moment. Listening to the police radio station, taking notes about what is happening in the State, and afterward tyiping them to the colonel who is in charge of the secret Service.
Emiliano doesn´t wear his soldier uniform any more and he is happy about the subject.
Type the documents every morning, give them to the official in charge and he doesn´t think any more.
He is just awaiting to next december to be off from the army for ever.
Nothing to be with this people as in fact they are nice and good educated.
Not any problem disturb him in the office, so days pass fluently and happy thoughts were always in his mind.
Meanwhile what is doing Cuca?. Well, she is working in the head office of the Bank and doing some rehabilitation to her leg. Never she talk about this question with Emiliano the same as he neither talk of his morning work to her or to anybody, it is just secret inside his mind and he likes not to remember anything once he is out the Office.
Difficult to tell what you do´t remember, that is Emiliano´s actitude.
to be continued
Time is passing on and everything reminds the same in the life of this two young people.
Both of them were studing, working in the mornings and going to the academy at evenings.
They don´t speak to much now, being separate in class it is difficult to talk, beside inside Emiliano´s mind there is something similar as being on guard against his inner feelings about the girl.
He likes her a lot, but better not to think too much just the same as he does with his morning work. He types thinking another subjects and hes is at the class room looking at her thinking on his future projects.
Lessons are very easy for him so it not requires a big effort to get everything in his mind.
Emiliano had been a student till the age of 21 years old, he is desighner, and before getting his work at Bank he was studing to be an enginer, so this kind of Bank´s studies are really easy for him.
Not and extra effort is necessary to him so his mind is free to be thinking in his future far away from Spain with his eyes looking to that girl who is seating at the first row of the class room.
Withouth knowing what he does he looks at the girl with pleasure and he is alert to all her movements.
Day after day the class room is full of young people that wanted the same goal that our friends, Cuca, Emiliano, Jose Luis and Jesus.
Nothing remains calm for long and this situation is going to break quite
soon.

THE SUN SHINES ONCE AGAIN....cuca/emiliano´s story
Spring has came, Emilano´s blood is hotter in this beautiful season
in Madrid city.
Something good is going to happens that could change the life of these young persons.
Cuca and Emiliano are not aware of what destinity has reserved them, may be "God ways are inscrutable" and it was not said the last word about the relationship of them.
A day of April the girl has came alone to the class room and she is waiting the teacher siting on her desk in the firs row as always, even Emiliano is sitting on his desk looking at her.
When she looks to him it was like a flash, Emiliano gets up and goes
ahead to where she is alone, and greets her friendly.
How are you Cuca?
Well, I am very well.
Are you alone?
Yes, Jose Luis can´t today and I have came alone.
Great, it is good not to lost a single lesson.
Yes, I think the same.
They start to talk about the lessons and how the weather was, it is always easy to talk about the weather when it is a long time without
having a conversation.
Nevertheless they soon started to have their friendly talk of ever but this time more frankly.
The teacher is delayed and they take their sit one in front the other
close enough to talk low, only for them, as a point they forget where

For him there is only her and for the girl there is only him, so calm, so

She tell Emiliano her fall on the snow, how bad it was as to break her
hip, the long time she has been without moving, and all the subjects
about her life that Emiliano doesn´t know.
The air is magic for them, spring is outdoors and the time pass without

Nearly an hour and half they were talking without any hurry, and the teacher doesn´t appear.
They were nearly alone as lot of other young has leaving already.
Finally another teacher appears and say to the few people who still were in the class that the professor couldn´t come so they could left

So Cuca and Emiliano, goes to take their things and left the class room
with great pain. It has last so brief than now they are in the street again and Emiliano said good by to Cuca as they are taken different ways.
Something has been removed inside them, in their souls, but it has

Despite this alert Emiliano was happy, he has been so delighted with her that nothing matter, he has to live the moment and don´t think in future.
Once he is at home, he likes to tell his sister Esther something about the girl and her story, but even he is talking with his mother about the nice girl who fall in Guadarrama mountains and has to be in bed nearly a year.
Yes, that girl of the bank that we listened about her accident, don´t you remember mom?, yes said his father, yes said his other sister Paquita, I remember her very well, it was comented for weeks among the friends in the Bank.
It is funny that Emiliano´s father and his older sister Paquita are working in Banco Hispano Americano too, the same like him.
May be is it a family tradiction to work in the same Bank?.
After some years Kennedy was assesinated, and Khrushchev on October 14, 1964, the Presidium and the Central Committee each voted to accept Khrushchev's "voluntary" retirement from his offices for reasons of "advanced age and ill health."
Even so the world is more or less the same, the Vietnam´s war follows and young people are really tired of their Goverments.
On first and second of May 1968 all this anger explodes on the streets of Parish. May of 1968 has been initiated and things are going to change for long.
Strikes, barricades, coctels molotov, soldiers, fights, were again on Paris and millions of workers and students started to move all over France and its cities.
The strikes were incesant, all has been stoped, no body works and the French society is ashtonished. Rest of Europe and USA were looking these youngs and wokers, this French societe that was moviing.
Like on the French Revolution of july 1789 people were again on the streets, and as they can´t take off the head of the King they propiciate the fall of the Presiden Charles de Gaulle, and everything started to change in France and the rest of the Europe and inside the mentality of the new generations.

A day of April the girl has came alone to the class room and she is waiting the teacher siting on her desk in the firs row as always, even Emiliano is sitting on his desk looking at her.
When she looks to him it was like a flash, Emiliano gets up and goes
ahead to where she is alone, and greets her friendly.
How are you Cuca?
Well, I am very well.
Are you alone?
Yes, Jose Luis can´t today and I have came alone.
Great, it is good not to lost a single lesson.
Yes, I think the same.
They start to talk about the lessons and how the weather was, it is always easy to talk about the weather when it is a long time without
having a conversation.
Nevertheless they soon started to have their friendly talk of ever but this time more frankly.
The teacher is delayed and they take their sit one in front the other
close enough to talk low, only for them, as a point they forget where
they were and everything disappear round them.
For him there is only her and for the girl there is only him, so calm, so
easy to talk with that she started to tell him her story.
She tell Emiliano her fall on the snow, how bad it was as to break her
hip, the long time she has been without moving, and all the subjects
about her life that Emiliano doesn´t know.
The air is magic for them, spring is outdoors and the time pass without
being perceived by these girl and boy.
Nearly an hour and half they were talking without any hurry, and the teacher doesn´t appear.
They were nearly alone as lot of other young has leaving already.
Finally another teacher appears and say to the few people who still were in the class that the professor couldn´t come so they could left
and go out if they want.
So Cuca and Emiliano, goes to take their things and left the class room
with great pain. It has last so brief than now they are in the street again and Emiliano said good by to Cuca as they are taken different ways.
Something has been removed inside them, in their souls, but it has
been like a flash and it is finished again.
What incredible nice girl thinks Emiliano when he is going home by the underground, she is so beautiful and our conversation is quiete, soft,
amusing, we laugh as we know each other for a long time.
It seem we are very good friends after all and we feel very confortable together, it seems for me she is the in the same form like me, thinks the boy but could he be sure about this?. Why is dating this incredible girl with that boy?. It has been great tha he hasn´t came today, thinks
Emiliano, reviving their conversation once and again.
What is thinking Cuca when she is going home?
Well, the girl thinks about the different talk she has with that boy Emiliano than with Jose Luis, her fiance, it is different.
With the boy who has been in the class room till now she could talk about everything, even she has told him her life along the last two years and he seems really interested.
Little by little the old idea she has that her situation is not good with Jose Luis take shape in her mind, she can´t talk with her boyfriend the same way she talks with Emiliano, is it natural?, no it is not a good life for future, just to be the wife of a man that she can´t talk with.
She has not confidence to speak with him the way she has done with Emiliano and this is absolutely fundamental to Cuca.
To have confidence with your couple is essential to her, talk with him, relax on him, stand by him too, and nothing of these are happening now. Even a boy that she doesn´t know well awake inside her a nice unknown feeling of pleasure and friendship.
This is unusual she was thinking, what I know about Emiliano?. Where is he going now?, may be, is he going to see his girlfriend?, Who knows?. He is always in a hurry, as he has to go another place after here, beside it is a nice looking boy and sure he is dating already. But, what I am thinking, I don´t care about his life, what I care is that I can talk with him too much better than with Jose Luis, even I have been telling him lot of things that usually I didn´t like to say any body, but with Emiliano it seems so easy to say him what happened to me in Navacerrada mountains, my year being at home without moving and so may things, it is absolutely surprising to me this incredible behaviour with a boy so serious like Emiliano.
But he is soft for me, I think we could talk for hours without being tired of this long talk, eve he is so attentive to my story.
Every moment I am thinking that was a mistake to say Jose Luis I was going to be his girl friend, he is nice and a good boy, his behaviour with me was really good when I need friendship but I can´t be married only because I am so grateful with him, I think it is necesary to feel he is my boy for ever, the one with I like to be everymoment, who listen to me the way this other boy, Emiliano, has been.
I think it is not Jose Luis, he is good, it is me that I am not so confident to talk with him, I really can´t it is a feeling that he doesn´t understand me at all.
Maria Jose´s mind was full of ideas about her boy friend, herself, their relation, and even about the boy she has been talking so well, creating round them an atmosphere so nice, pleasant, soft, so much confidence and the feeling of been understood for Emiliano was present for her, now and then, in fact always they have been talking.
Coming home she stopped her thoughts, but they are going to remind
for long, it has been like this night being along with that boy a veil had fallen from her eyes and mind for ever, and the ideas she was thinking months before now there were more clear.
At last she said for herself, this relation has little future, it is better to cut it as soon as possible without hurting Jose Luis that has been so good friend to me.
Emiliano come home like in a cloud, he was happy, he was thinking in Cuca all the way back, how nice girl she was, how much has she suffering with her broken hip, how good conversation they had, it is such a pity she is dating already.
Why when he find a girl like Cuca, so unique, she is dating already?.
Are he going to do anything?, well it is not my style, if she is dating it has to be because she likes Jose Luis, it can not be other reason and he, Emiliano, am not going to do anything. She has all my respect he was thinking, there is not way to do nothing diffierent with this girl, she is fair and good, she is not going to change one boy for other, it is clear for Emiliano, beside why do you think Emiliano, she could likes you?.
Awake boy, don´t dream any more, Cuca is engaged already, she is not for you boy.
Despite this alert Emiliano was happy, he has been so delighted with her that nothing matter, he has to live the moment and don´t think in future.
Once he is at home, he likes to tell his sister Esther something about the girl and her story, but even he is talking with his mother about the nice girl who fall in Guadarrama mountains and has to be in bed nearly a year.
Yes, that girl of the bank that we listened about her accident, don´t you remember mom?, yes said his father, yes said his other sister Paquita, I remember her very well, it was comented for weeks among the friends in the Bank.
It is funny that Emiliano´s father and his older sister Paquita are working in Banco Hispano Americano too, the same like him.
May be is it a family tradiction to work in the same Bank?.

Something was in the air that propiciate lot of changes, youngs at the universities were all days in strike, they were agains the dictatorshipment, agains the lack of liberty, they all want a new society to express themselves with more freedom.
Vietnam´s war was a let motive to be agains all kind of weapons, all kind of wars, to agaist the army of all countries, agains the societe of that time that was so constricted to the old rules.
After more than trwenty years since the end of the second war the new generation want to change everything.
Spain was one of the countries were the protests were increasing day after day.
In EE.UU., happens the same, in West Germany and all west European countries were happening the same.
The world have been at the edge of be destroyed by the missiles crisis in Cuba.
A red telephone was created between Moscou and Washington to elude
another crisis like that.
Even Holliwood has made a film by Stanley Kubrick where this nuclear crisis was pariodied in one of his great movies.
The world has takeen off its breath waiting for the bombs, but thanks God nothing happened in this called:
The Cuban missile crisis—known as the October crisis or The Missile Scare (Spanish: Crisis de octubre) in Cuba and the Caribbean crisis (Russian: Карибский кризис, tr. Karibskiy krizis) in the former USSR—was a 13-day confrontation in October 1962 between the Soviet Union and Cuba on one side and the United States on the other side. The crisis is generally regarded as the moment in which the Cold War came closest to turning into a nuclear conflict[1] and is also the first documented instance of mutual assured destruction (MAD) being discussed as a determining factor in a major international arms greement.
To avoid another similar situation the two presidents, Khrushchev and Kennedy, created "the red telephone" between its nations, as I said above, doing so it seems we were more secured.
Even the Kubrick´s movie was like a nuclear joke destrution of the world, but it was very realist after all.
Dr. Strangelove: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
An insane general triggers a path to nuclear holocaust that a war room
full of politicians and generals frantically try to stop.
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Writers:Stanley Kubrick (screenplay), Terry Southern (screenplay), 2 more credits »

After some years Kennedy was assesinated, and Khrushchev on October 14, 1964, the Presidium and the Central Committee each voted to accept Khrushchev's "voluntary" retirement from his offices for reasons of "advanced age and ill health."
Even so the world is more or less the same, the Vietnam´s war follows and young people are really tired of their Goverments.
On first and second of May 1968 all this anger explodes on the streets of Parish. May of 1968 has been initiated and things are going to change for long.
Strikes, barricades, coctels molotov, soldiers, fights, were again on Paris and millions of workers and students started to move all over France and its cities.
The strikes were incesant, all has been stoped, no body works and the French society is ashtonished. Rest of Europe and USA were looking these youngs and wokers, this French societe that was moviing.
Like on the French Revolution of july 1789 people were again on the streets, and as they can´t take off the head of the King they propiciate the fall of the Presiden Charles de Gaulle, and everything started to change in France and the rest of the Europe and inside the mentality of the new generations.
Charles de Gaulle
resigned the presidency at noon, 28 April 1969, following the rejection
of his proposed reform of the Senate and local governments in a nationwide referendum.
De Gaulle vowed that if the referendum failed, he would resign his
office. Despite an eight-minute-long speech by de Gaulle, the referendum
failed and he duly resigned. Two months later Georges Pompidou was elected as his successor.

Changes will be seen quite soon in Spain too, and the two boys could see the changes of their life with the seventy years coming to enlight a new decade.
Their life will turn a way that they can´t imagine on May of 1968.

cont....MAY 1968
What these young people, Cuca and Emiliano, were doing on may 1968?.
Cuca have taken her holidays at the work and she has gone to a city in the Malaga´s coast, Torreblanca it is the name of the beach little city and Cuca is in a little hotel with her mather for the first fifteen days of May.
She wants to relax from everything, and the best form of be relaxed it is to go to the beach.
Cuca talked with Emiliano some other days after their talk in April, and she is feeling that with this boy she is pleased, she likes to be with him and touch different subjects that with her boyfriend it is not possible.
A nice conversation is one of the things in life she likes more, and being with this boy it is easy, he is a good listener and carrys the conversation the way she likes.
Cuca has been thinking a lot after the day both of them were alone in the class room. She thinks Emiliano has a girl friend waiting for him when he is coming home just because he seems to be in a hurry when they go out from the Institute. Now the four youngs are not going walking to her house any more, Emiliano says till tomorrow and disapear immediately from the class room.
Now that she is going to the beach, emiliano has said to her that is not a prudent actitude to go to the beach now if she wants to pass her exam in the bank.
But she needs the beach, so here is she with her mother going to take Sun´s baths every day close near the sea side.
While she is in Torreblanca, the world out Spain seems to burst, in France and other countries of Europe strikes and students fights were the rule day after day, France was stoped by so many strikes and the police hits thousand o people that was in the streets of Paris and other France big cities, but these news does not come where Cuca is resting.
By the contrary Emiliano is up to all these news, working as a soldier who has to write events of this nature, he has a lot of work. News come to Spain every moment and the dictatorship was alert, Secret Service where there was the soldier Emiliano was taking notes of everything, listening to the police radio stations (this was another work to the soldier Emiliano) and having all the police agents inside the universities of Madrid and other Spanish capitals.
In the Spanish country it seems that nothing was happening, dictatorship try to no inform about these events, and the Spanish life was going on waiting for summer, holidays, beaches, swiming pools and easy life, nevertheless the world was changing very fast outside the border of this country.
At the end the De Gaulle have to convocate elections in France that he lost, and things in France for its people start to be different.
In Spain there are persons that wants a change, but nothing hapens and life seems to be the same as before May 1968.
Cuca has returned from her holidays and the exams in the Bank were ahead to be done in June.
The lessons in the Jorge Juan Institute were finishing and the girl and the boy Emiliano sead each other "be lucky" I hope to see you after the exams having good news at that moment.
Emiliano is alone again, without talking with this girl he likes so much but his head is thinking in Canada, where soon he thinks could be working after less than two years. His future life was ahead in this cold country where he wants to go, out his country, out from the dictatorship he dislike so much, out some other rules in the Spanish societe of that time he also dislike.
Cuca is with Jose Luis, not very sure about her future and what is she going to do with the problem she had. She didn´t love this boy but it is difficult to say him go, I don´t like you any more, what to do?. Just wait some time to no hurt him?. In fact she doesn´t think in Emiliano as for her this boy has to be dating another girl as he never has told her loving words or he hadn´t do nothing in the way of dating her. For her Emiliano is a very nice young boy, serious and very good talking and listener, she felt at his side incredible good but what can she do about the subject?, nothing.
She is a serious girl that have already a boyfriend and being dating with him it is inimaginable to date another boy, Emiliano or which ever one who wanted to date her, that´s certain in her mid while she is with Jose Luis. She has felt herself very confortable talking with the boy, Emiliano, that she is not going to see more as they never has done anything inappropriate. Good for him and for her, their friendship has ben clear and absolutely fair, that´s good and gives her a nice feeling to think about it.

cont....
It is summer of 1968, Cuca has taken her holidays has, made her exam at the Bank and now she wants to study the second test to get the goal of bein official at the Banco Hispano Americano.
She has aproved the first test that seems the most difficult and now she needs to memorize a lot of themes relative to the Bank´s commercial administration,
It will be necessary for her to study two or three hours by day all the commercial subjets necessary to be in one of the Bank different sites, like cash, foreign exchange, commercial credits of import and export, contability, and so forth till October, that will be the second test.
Jose Luis her boy friend has failed his exam and for him is very frustrating to see his girl friend studing so many hours, he wants to go out and day after day is telling Cuca he wants to walk, to go to the theatre, to the swiming pool or to the park. It is so boring for him to be indoors looking at her studing. Cuca is thinking that this boy doesn´t understand she has to study, to study very hard as she wants to pass her exam.
It is tiresom for her to be fighting with a frustrated boy that have not past his exam and finaly she decided to be in doors that summer studing hard every day.
Emiliano is doing the same, every evening of this summer he is studing the same exam than her, even he is thinking about Cuca, has her past the exam or not?. He knows nothing about the girl as he is still not working in the Bank and he doesn´t know anybody who could tell him about the girl.
At the morning Emiliano goes to the office where he is doing his service in the army looking to the end of his time in the Spanish Army Forces that will be next December if all goes the right way to him.
Summer in Madrid use to be very hot, no body goes to the streets if it is not necessary till seven p.m., or even later, as the sun burns. It is better to have a nap indoors after lunch and await till late to go for a walk.
Soon will be July, the hottest month, it take a big effort to study so many items that soon, once next exam in October will be over, shall be forgotten by the majority of these candidates.
Some of the army officials that are working in the S.S. are taken their holidays, so Emiliano has in mind to ask for fifteen days of liberty to be with his sister in the mountains near Madrid. He has the idea that the colonel could give him these days if there is a good reason for that. To loof after his sister in her holidays could be a good reason for this official and surprisedly it happens and he has fifteen days of holidays to rest in the mountains close to Madrid but also to study full day the Bank´s themes.
Nice holidays indeed, he has lot of ideas inside his mind without beind aware that none of them will be accomplish in future.
Softly the summer is going on and October will be soon ahead anouncing some changes in the life of Cuca and Emiliano.
Autumn is the best season in Madrid, hot is finished and people likes to walk through Retiro´s Park where there is a sinfony of colours every where. It is a nice place to take a seat in the middle of the park and start to read one again the themes it is necessary to remember for at least another week, just enough to take the exam and be free to forget whic ever subject you don´t need to remember.
It is not going to happens that Cuca and Emiliano meet each other in the exam, too many candidates have passed first exam and it will be a good chance for them to meet each other doing their exams.
The results will be in November and finishing the proof Cuca and Emiliano were happy of doing a good test.
