(A little love story in Madrid 1968 second...)
Emiliano
is dreaming awake
Emiliano
is dreaming when he is going home, what has happened this afternoon, he ask
himself, is it real, sure? I am not dreaming? I am going to see her tomorrow?
How? Nobody was in the academy? Why? Dozens of questions were in his mind till
the moment he is at home and talk with his mother and sisters.
Nothing
has any importance now, only the fact he is going to see this nice girl Maria
José that seems pleases with the thought they are going to see each other.
Nerves,
Emiliano is nerves thinking what to do, were to go with Cuca, and what is going
to happens tomorrow.
Otherwise
he is happy, it is so incredible to meet her that way, suddenly, without
advise, and what is even the best “she is free of that inappropriate boy” that
was with her. This is the incredible dream of today, free land to be together,
to walk, to talk, to go which ever place they like, and to let his feelings
free to see and love her every moment. Now it is clear to Emiliano he loves
Cuca just from the first moment he saw her in the class room and she said to
him, “he, are you new, aren´t you?” and he said, “yes it is my second day
here”.
Love
at first sight that is what happened to me, is thinking Emiliano as he is going
home. Afterward, alone in his bed he follows thinking in the girl and all the
circumstances of today, finding her alone, in the academy. What has happened
with the feast, where were the other people?, she and me alone in the building
and not anybody inside it?, it was a mistake of Cuca and me to be there
thinking there was a feast?, it is sure that feast will be another day, but I
don´t care anymore, I have find what I was looking for, just her.
It
is nearly a year since the first time he has seen her and Maria Jose has been
always in his heart and mind without allowing that his feelings to her were
out, clear, understandable for him. Now everything is different, the miracle
has been done and the treasure it is at his hand, waiting for him, so his
feelings are outside at last and it is like a dream for this boy.
That
incredible nice beautiful girl has been talking with him all the evening,
sitting close to him like old friends that have a long time they have not seen
each other. Air was magic in the atmosphere that surrounds them inside this
little house tee when they were for nearly two hours talking. How incredible
nice she is, how relaxed he feels beside Maria Jose, how marvelous looks the
world when they are together, it is clear that loves make miracles and this
sceptic boy is funny, amusing, cheerful when he is with the girl he likes so
much. He doesn´t think on anything, just let the time goes on enjoying the
moment, every second, looking her face and listening to every word the girl
says. Is it love? Yes, it must be as any other idea it is incompressible for
him. He has fallen in love since a long time but now it is even more without
any kind of subjection to his feelings.
Life
seems so beautiful to this boy now that the idea of returning back to the bank
the second day of next January it is far away from his thoughts. Today is
twenty of December, so there is some days to be with Maria Jose before he is
again at work free from the army service for ever. It is over, he could do
which ever thing they like with his life, and now what he wants is being with
Maria Jose and don´t spoil anything with her, she needs to feel herself free
and relaxed after her breaking with that boy, don´t press her Emiliano, just
give Cuca time enough to change her mind to your favor. Let her to love you
little by little and don´t go too fast with this sensible girl.
Thinking
about the changes of his life Emiliano fall asleep with nice marvelous hopes to
the following days of Christmas.
To
be continued….
WHAT
ABOUT THE GIRL?
Maria
José doesn´t think the same as the boy, she was just living the moment, without
expecting anything about future or considering nothing about the new chance.
No, her mind is far away all this subjects.
After
breaking with Jose Luis, a relation that has been prolonging for more than a
year, she doesn´t like to think about a new love affair. No, this is not her
way now. She feels herself free to be inside a new compromise.
This
boy Emiliano is really nice, she likes him but she knows nothing about the boy.
He has appeared so unexpected in the empty site that she has not time to think
what has happened or just consider anything more.
She
likes the talk, she feels wellbeing at his side, he is calm, reflexive, and
serious, and he has a good culture conversation about different subjects.
Time
pass without sense it at his side, so why not going with him tomorrow. Sure it
will be a nice evening going for a walk under the Christmas lights.
In
fact has this boy Emiliano something to do with her decision of breaking with
Jose Luis? Somehow was Emiliano responsible, when they were talking so
peacefully, of her thoughts or her real feelings about her boyfriend? Well, who
knows? May be so, she thinks that she was really good at Emiliano´s side,
walking the two by the street or even the last day they were talking alone in
the class room and she, so shy, told him everything about her pass life, her
accident, her pain being at home nearly a year and so forth.
Yes,
she could remember now that her feelings were to remain more time talking with
him and even she felt pain, or disappointed when just their talk was finished and
he had to go home. Even more, she thought he was dating a girl because went out
so fast from the class room with a bye,
see you tomorrow and he did not accompanied her to the subway to continue their
conversation.
Well
that wasn´t her way of acting at the moment at it seems it wasn´t the way of
Emiliano.
But
now, what happens with this boy, is he dating a girl or not? It seems that not,
but is he interested in me? Or he wants to be kind with a girl he has talked
before when he has known the break with her boyfriend.
I
don´t care, says Maria Jose to her, I don’t care, I hope nothing, only to have
a nice talk, a nice time being together free at last without any remorse as
everything about my previous relations is over.
She
is not going to expect nothing and she is not going to say anything to anybody,
in her family or at work, her walks or talks with Emiliano would be for her own
only, that´s clear to Maria Jose when she goes to the bed.
A
DAY LIKE ANOTHER DAY
Twenty
first of December 1968 could be a day like another day for millions but it is
not so for Cuca and Emiliano, because this singular day it is going to be the
first of new relationship that is going to long for decades.
It
is supposed that in the morning Cuca is doing her work as she done it usually.
She works in the head office of Banco Hispano Americano of Madrid. The Bank has
many different offices inside the head office building but Cuca works in
“Informs”, an office where commercial customer´s informs are made to be
references of the companies or people who ask for credits, money, avails, and
all kind of commercial subjects to the Bank.
For
years she has been working in this little site of the head office situated in
Plaza de Canalejas, 1 of Madrid. She works from nine a.m. till five p.m. except
in summer than her work´s hour will be since nine a.m. till three p.m., but in
December she has to work till five in the evening.
Emiliano
is free of going to the secret service office as his army service is over. He
has some days of holidays waiting for the second of January of the next year
that he has to return to the same Bank than Cuca but also the same site of
Plaza de Canalejas , 1 of Madrid.
Being
a large building with thousands of employers it would be nearly impossible to
meet each other inside it. Now things are going to be different as in future
they will meet near de Head Bank´s door to say “good morning” one to the other.
This
will be in a month, not now that they have not enough confidence and Emiliano
is not working yet.
At
the evening the two young persons are going to meet close near to Maria Jose
house. It is seven p.m. and Emiliano is awaiting for the girl in the corner of
Alcala street with Hermosilla street, he look once again his watch because he
is waiting since ten minutes before the hour of their meeting. Should be she
late? Thinks the boy watching again his watch. No, she is not late, five
minutes after seven she appears at the middle of the street coming out from her
house. Emiliano could see her and his heart is beating inside his chest. How
nice gracile figure she has, the boy thinks, but being slender with a long hair
that falls over her back her beauty face with clear eyes it is what Emiliano
loves to see now. Her face and her lovely smile takes the will of this young
man for ever and ever. He doesn´t know
anything about what is happening in future but this girl, her smile, her clear
eyes, and her soul, it is going to held him here in Madrid for the rest of his
life.
He,
Cuca, how are you?
Very
well, Emiliano, thank you
Did
you find the corner soon, Emiliano?
Have
you wait for me very long?
No,
don´t mind, it is a nice place to wait for you and I have been here only for ten
minutes as I was before the hour. It has been easy to find the place following
your instructions of the shop that is just in the corner. Niza, you said me, a
shop of dresses for babies, it is nice to look through the glass of shop the
little children´s dresses and the baby’s things to play and eat, it is a very
nice sight.
So,
now Cuca, where do you like to go?
If
you don´t mind Emiliano, I would like to go to the mail office as I want to
send some Christmas Cards, do you?
Very
good Cuca, let us go then to the mail first as we have all the evening for us.
To
be continued…..
A
SPECIAL PLACE THAT DOESN´T EXIST ANY MORE
What
a nice evening has been the last for Emiliano, even for Cuca has been good, and
accordingly to their real feelings they have dated again for the next day that
is Sunday, today, and all day Emiliano is thinking where to go with the girl.
He wants to please her and is thinking what to do or where to go with Maria
José.
What
could be the best site to talk, thinks Emiliano this Sunday morning, we are in
winter, it is cold, it is raining, so it must be a site indoors, near Maria
Jose´s house, as far as a short walk, so look for a place or ask you sister
that knows a lot about nice sites in Madrid.
At
last a place is in his mind, the California 47 Cafeteria that is situated in
Goya Street, it is at ten minutes from Cuca´s house and sure it could be a nice
beautiful place to talk.
At
seven o´clock Emiliano is waiting for Cuca at Niza´s corner like he was
yesterday. Soon Cuca is out from her house and steps up Hermosilla Street where
Emiliano is watching her as she comes to where he is.
Nice
beautiful smart girl he thinks, how much I like her face and her cheerful
smile.
Once
again they are talking like old friends, easy, cheerfully, and with empathy
between them. Empathy is the rule all the time Maria Jose and Emiliano are
together talking, something special are between them as if there is a kind of mental
connection that makes everything so easy all the time that Cuca and Emiliano
are close near one from the other.
It
is like a world exclusively for them, nothing more counts when they are
together, things, noises, people disappear and for Emiliano only Maria Jose
exists, just the same as for the girl that feels Emiliano is close to her
feelings. It is so easy to talk with this boy, thinks Cuca, what a big
difference between him and the other boy I was months before.
Easily
talking they are going down Goya Street till the California 47 cafeteria.
Previously Emiliano has said Cuca if she likes to go in this nice place and she
said, yes, that could be very nice for them.
Sitting
one in front the other with a little table between the two young are talking
about their own life. Emiliano is so absorbed with Cuca´s talk than suddenly he
has hit the glass with his drink and then gin tonic is on his trousers and on
the floor, so clumsy he said, sorry dear I was out of reality listening to you.
Immediately a nice girl carry another drink and dry the trousers of the boy
with some napkin papers.
After
a while they are laughing remembering the incident and the wet trousers of
Emiliano. It is cold he said, very cold indeed, he laughs as touching his upper
leg.
The
two hours they were talking is one of the best time they could remember always.
Their
second date, so incredible nice and with a special air round them, has been
perfect and the two future lovers go up Goya Street absolutely happy. Once they
are again in Niza coners close to Maria Jose house they agree to see each other
the following days. Emiliano asks the girl if she likes to go to see a movie
that is now in Madrid, a famous story about a Russian Pope, and Cuca says yes,
I would like to see it as I have read the book already, it is a novel of Morris
West and I like the book very much.
Very
well Cuca, I will get the tickets to go on Christmas, just the 25th at
seven o´clock, so we need to date sooner.
O.K.,
Emiliano, nice, see you then on 25th to go to the theatre, that is
right? Yes of course, I will phone you once I have get the tickets, o.k.? Good, very good says the girl, I will be looking
forward Christmas, sure the movie has to be beautiful and we can enjoy it.
I´ll
be pleased seeing you Cuca, it is always a great pleasure to me having the
opportunity of being together seeing a movie or going for a walk, see you soon
dear.
To be

FUTURE
Incredible,
how two persons that know nothing about each other could be so pleased being
together, walking, talking or going to a cafeteria. It doesn´t matter what they
do or where they go, it is only the fact of being close, one from the other,
just looking at the eyes, smiling, listening the voice of that person, it is
enough to be happy. Just this is what feels Emiliano being at side of Maria
Jose, but now same feeling is going through the soul of the girl. Who is this
boy to give me so peaceful feelings, why I am so sure being at his side, he has
something that soft my soul and I can open my heart to him, telling lot of
things I don´t tell anybody before. He seems to understand which ever subject I
could tell him, that is new for me, I am so pleased with him that it is better
to enjoy his presence day after day without thinking anything about future.
This are the thoughts of Maria Jose once she is at home and goes to her bed
that night of 23rd of December. The evening at the California 47 has
been perfect to her, nothing to be with the feelings she felt before with Jose
Luis, this is different, and now she is in peace with herself. Nothing to think
about future, only live the moment is her purpose and be relaxed about this new
situation with Emiliano.
Next
day I am going to see him will be Christmas, it is funny that after a year of
talking so short with him now we have full afternoon to be close one from the
other, talking and watching a nice film. He hasn´t take my hand yet, he is so
serious and kind that is a pleasure to be at his side, I feel myself sure being
close to Emiliano, why? I don´t know but it the reality of my feelings, I think
this boy it is just different of the boys I have met before.
Emiliano
doesn´t think, he only feels, he feels what happiness is, he doesn´t feel alone
now. At last he has found a girl that please him all the ways, the one that he
feels could be for him absolutely, the one to respect, to love, to be his/her
friend for long, it is so clear that this boy doesn´t need to think about it.
His feelings are up his skin as soon as he is beside Cuca, even if he could
imagine her so close as to touch her face, her lips, her eyes, her nice little
ears, her small hands. Everything about Maria Jose likes to this boy, not now
it has been always so but he has not allowed himself to dream with her. Now he
is dreaming awake the full day.
To
be continued….
The Shoes
of the Fisherman
Once
again Emiliano is going to meet Maria Jose by the subway, it takes forty
minutes to go from his house till his girl house. But who care, he not of
course, time goes fast being in the high spirit form he is now. He has taken
the tickets yesterday morning after an hour in the row as this movie is the one
now in Madrid´s theaters.
Everybody wants to see “The Shoes of the Fisherman”
with Anthony Quinn in the body of the Pope Kiril who is going to make an
important role in the “Cold War” that in those times the world is suffering.
All
is fiction by it is taken from the reality fights of The URSS and The EE.UU.,
this cold war could finally conduct to a nuclear war and The Pope Kiril has to
go to Russia to talk with the Russian President Kamenev searching for an
agreement.
Cuca
is telling Emiliano the plot while they are walking to the subway station of
Goya, after a while inside the train the get off in Bilbao Station. Close to
this subway station there is the Paz Cinema where the film is exhibited. It is
a long film, near to 170 minutes, so it is necessary to be early at the
entrance.
Maria
Jose is absolute interested in the movie, it is a spectacular film where you
may see The Vatican city, the incredible Basilica of St. Peters, the Pope
rooms, and all the cardinals with their purple garments.
She is enjoying the
film, even more than Emiliano that is watching her by the corner of his eye
sighs. She is at his right and the boy could see his face so gorgeous and
quiet. She is really nice thinks Emiliano looking at her and he is conscious of
her ears adorned with two earrings hanging two or three centimeter.
The
earrings are beautiful and fix with splendor Cuca face, so without thinking
they are in the Cinema he says Maria Jose that she looks beauty with that
earrings so brilliant and nice hanging from her ears.
That
is all but enough to the girl to realize that she likes to emiliano, now is
clear for her only with this phrase of him she knows that Emiliano is not only
a friend, he wants to be something more for her
Well she is pleased with the
idea, so he has been so silence all this time when in fact he looks me with
loving eyes, that´s very good indeed, this boy is like a box of secrets to me,
he is not boring, what could be inside his soul so serious, quiet, calm and
attend with me. Yes, nice, he is really nice with me and to me, I am looking
him with good eyes from this moment.
After
that day everything between Maria Jose and Emilliano starts to change. There is
another feeling coming beside friendship little by little love is opening his
way inside their minds a hearts. In less than two months they are really in
love one with the other, being also like the best friends to talk with every
day, at mornings and at evenings.
Let
stop the story in this Christmas day of 1968 as events since now between Maria
Jose and Emiliano nill be going very fast.
to
be continued…..
WINTER
IN MADRID
It
is the second of January, Emiliano comes back to his work in the Bank. Now he
is first official and get more money in his salary.
The
first and second part of his plans are going on, he has done the army service,
he can get his passport, he is getting more money and can save to make true his
dreams of going out from the country and establish himself in Canada. In a year
and a half he will be five years in the Bank and should be possible for him to
ask for his cessation for three years on
the job.
Everything
seems to go on, accordingly with his previous ideas, but now a person is in his
life that was not previously considered in all his thoughts of going out far
away from Madrid.
Of
course, it is very soon to have any idea about what is going to happen but
there is a real new subject in his life that before was not. What is this new
subject? Love, and love changes everything in the life of people. Love is the
force that moves situations or ideas of humans, the force that changes the mind
of people.
Now
having Cuca in his life everything could be possible and she could be his let
motive to stay, to go, to work and to live.
In
few weeks Cuca and Emiliano are dating every day, there is not any evening that
they don´t see each other. Since the last days of January the two lovers are
seen each other also in the morning. Ten minutes before the hour of being
inside the office they date under the watch of a building in Alcala Street.
They have time enough to a kiss, to a short walk till the door of the Bank and
says bye my dear, see you soon.
In
the evenings they use to go for a long walk in Retiro Park, it is a nice winter
to walk and to be alone despite the cold days of Madrid. They don´t feel the
rain, the cold, or even the snow that this winter is falling in Madrid. Nothing
disturb their walks through the Park or their long talks together.
At nigh they
could go into a cafeteria or little bar to drink a coffee or a tea, but before
10 p.m. Cuca has to be at home because her mother is firm about the hour a
single girl has to be at home, and it is ten o´clock at night, not a minute
later.
The
Emiliano´s life and projects are in stand bye, he don´t think anything about
what is going to do in future. All depends of this incredible girl who which he
is falling in love day after day.
To
be continue….
SPRING HAS CAME AGAIN
Happiness
on earth, that is the world of Maria Jose and Emiliano when they walk together
through The Retiro´s Park in Madrid, spring is coming and the park is full of
roses, there is specially a site called “La Rosaleda” where hundreds or roses
of different colors are opening every day filling the air with their nice odor
brighten by the sunset.
The
love to walk and taking a seat they could be talking for hours, time pass
without sense of anything more that their presence and voices. Cuca is a shy
girl than doesn´t want any physical care outside as some body could be
watching, she says, so Emiliano is quiet with his hand holding hers being
really close to his girl.
Everything
has changed in their life and them can´t see future without being together.
Retiro´s Park is their site, it is close to Cuca´s house and they could be
hours walking or sitting among the large trees of the park.
It
could be a time of social movements in Spain but the dictatorship doesn´t
allowed anything like strikes, meetings, political parties, an so forth.
In
the Bank they were asking for salary increase but the Banks Corporation offers
very few benefits and a low salary increase. Workers would like to be in strike
but it was not possible as strikes in Spain were forbidden by law. So, instead
of strikes workers do which ever other thing they could done. Some days close
the office´s door and not customers were allowed to enter as there is not any
kind of work inside. Other time workers start to shout or to make noise with
their hands clapping them or hitting the table strongly at the same time they
shout “Collective Agreement” once and again.
Inside
the Head Office there were two thousands of workers, may be more, and they all
go to courtyard of Bank operations and make as much noise as possible shouting
and clapping their hands too. They make the noise for ten minutes, three of
five times along the morning, and afterward they go to work very slowly.
Strikes were forbidden but the results of doing these movements and manifestations
were nearly the same. People joining together to fight against the Bank
Corporations looking for a better agreement.
Maria
Jose and Emiliano participates also in these turmoil that give them lot of
excitement. Even some day the little turmoil’s have been in Alcalá Street and
the police have begun to hit the people and detain them for doing that. Hard time for the dictatorship after last May
of 1968.
To
be continued…..
LEARNING
A LANGUAGE
Emiliano
follows with his English class, his mind is not in going to Canada now, but he
like to learn English as much as possible, first because he likes the language
and second because in could be interesting to learn a language in the site he
is working in the Bank. Cuca likes French instead, so the two young are going
to their class every evening.
The
two academies are closed one from the other, five or seven minutes walking and
now the two have only an hour of lessons. Emiliano thinks in getting the “Lower
Certificate of Cambridge” and he has to go to the University to make the necessary
test.
It
will be also and exam in the Bank where he is working, passing the exam he
could also get an increase in his month salary using the English language in
his work. He does he thinks now of going to Canada? Nothing in fact, he is in
stand bye, he has told Cuca about his idea thinking she could go with him but
this is really difficult, Cuca mother is a widow and Maria Jose thinks that her
responsibility is taking care of her mom and she can´t now go away from Spain
leaving her mom alone.
So
having this in mind Emiliano doesn´t think any more in going out for the
moment. No, his place is to be with his loved girl and other subjects are out
of consideration now. Loves changes everything inside the soul of humans, and
this boy is human after all.
Yes,
he feels like a lover now, and the most important thing in the world is Cuca
now, thinking in losing her it is insupportable for him already. Everything has
changed round the boy, there is not any project without his dear loving Cuca, and
such is life, that is love in the life of a young man.
It
is pouring, rain has been falling since early in the morning but Cuca hasn´t
get an umbrella when she went out home. Emiliano is waiting for her and her
mind is not thinking about anything more, he is out waiting, come on girl she
says to herself. Now she is in the French class and is finishing it already, in
a hurry she goes out through the entrance and steps fast up the street to meet
his loved boy as soon as possible. It has not any sense to wait for him and losing
some precious minutes of their time together, so for her doesn´t matter some
drops of water on her hair or overcoat, go fast and see him girl, she says in
her mind.
At
the same time Emiliano is still in the class room, the teacher looks through
the window and she is not anxious to finish her class. It is pouring furiously,
who cares to prolong five or six minutes more the teaching and wait some
minutes to see if the rain is not so heavy. It is waiting in vain as the rain
doesn´t stop a bit and Emiliano is really nerves looking his wring watch and
thinking Cuca has not umbrella to be safe of such a lot of water pouring
furiously.
He
is stepping down the stairs thinking in the girl, but once Emiliano is in the
street just in front the academy door is Maria Jose looking at him, smiling and
absolutely soaked by the rain.
He,
my dear, you are soaked, why don´t you have been waiting for me at your
academy´s door, my girl? It has been my fault not to be there to cover my love
with the umbrella.
Don´t
worry my dear, I was looking forward seeing you immediately, I don´t care to be
soaked it is only water and don´t want to delay a second the sight of my loved Emiliano,
just a bit of water is not going to stop me of seeing you as soon as possible.
He
has not words, that is so incredible from a girl like this, so nice and beautiful, being so modest as
declaring her love for him this way. He can´t say anything, only try to dry her
hair with his handkerchief and cover her with his umbrella hoping she don´t get
a cold doing such a crazy thing. But what can he says to her, she has gone
under the heavy rain because she doesn´t want to lose a second waiting for him,
this is a real proof of her love for him, thinks Emiliano and he is really
happy.
April
in Madrid it is a beautiful month, everybody is waiting for the heart of the
spring with its colors and long days to walk through the parks.
This
couple walks and walks through Retiro Park and they are really happy closely
taken one from the arm of the other walking under the trees till the night.
To be
continued….
MAY
IS COMING
Days
are so long that Cuca and Emiliano have lot of hours to talk and to know each
other in a short period of time. Every day they are together since five or six
o´clock till ten p.m., the hour Cuca has to be at home.
Feeling
themselves so closed they know what the other thinks or feel without words.
Sometimes they are going to say just the same word simultaneously and that
subject gives them a lot of funny situations. It seems one reads the mind of
the other and it happens frequently, they are so syntonised that it could be
true.
The
Retiro Park is splendid in May, the couple enjoy the park absolutely, it is one
of their sites.
Frequently
Emiliano wants to know how Cuca is feeling about her pain in the hip, yes,
because he is now conscious the girl is not as good as it could seems. The rule
is that when they have been for a long time sitting in the armchair of the
theatre her can´t get up herself without a great effort.
Her
leg is not strong as to impulse her up from the chair fast enough to be
immediately prepared to go. Usually she
feels pain along her leg and she can´t walk properly yet. May be in future she thinks
could have problems with her hip and she has told Emiliano about the subject,
even Cuca is afraid that could have some difficult to her in the moment of
giving life to a baby as she can´t opened her legs completely to let him or her
their way in the world that his waiting for the new recent born baby.
That´s
no problem says Emiliano, everything is possible now and if there is a problem
there are other methods of giving birth to a baby, we are not in middle ages.
As
much she could suffer as much Emiliano love the girl being always alert to help
her every moment.
Life
is beautiful in Madrid´s spring, the weather is nice, the days are long, the
blood is running fast inside Cuca and Emiliano hearts, love is under their skin
all the moments they are living and they would want to be completely together
soon, why they have to wait?, asks Emiliano to himself, why don´t you come with
me Cuca and run away from Spain just in this moment. We can go to everyplace
you like, Canada, England, France, or even here in Spain far away your house,
mine, and everybody. You and me alone the one for the other for life. These ideas are running inside Emiliano´s
mind but he says nothing yet.
To be
continued…..
THEIR
FIRST ARGUE
Here
they are watching to a film called “The Graduate” with Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft,
the songs are from Paul Simon, and it is one of the first movies where Cuca and
Emiliano find the good actor Dustin Hoffman.The
plot is about a Graduate young, Dustin Hoffman, that start loving affairs with
a married woman, Anne Bancroft, when he returns home and are looking for an
University to study or to work. Mrs. Robinson, the woman is the wife of his
father´s law partner, and try to seduce Bejamin once he drives her home.
She
invites Benjamin inside and removes her clothes to seduce him and says she
finds him attractive and wants him to know that she is available to him anytime
he wants.
Once
the film is over Cuca and Emiliano walks up Gran Via Street and talks about the
movie’s plot as they have time enough till tenth hours at nigh, today they have
gone on the first hour to the theater to enjoy the film and a walk later.
Cuca
doesn´t like to movie, doesn´t like the plot, doesn´t like Benjamin attitude
even less Mrs. Robinson’s behavior but Emiliano likes the movie and he says he
understand Benjamin´s behavior if he is not engaged with any girl, afterward
when he starts to date Mrs. Robinson´s daughter he stops his sexual relations
with the woman and that is right. Even so Cuca doesn´t agree and after a while
it seems to Emiliano that Cuca´s mind is not so free as him self’s mind. That
phrase is enough to have their first argument after four months dating. Just a
silly argument, but before getting Cuca´s house they are again more in love
than before their argument.
It
is so beautiful to have a loving soul beside you that the two lovers are happy
and life seems their own heaven in that moments they are going up Gran Via
Street towers Cuca´s home.
Tomorrow
will be another good they for them.
To be
continued….
APRIL
1969 IN MADRID
It´s
coming May and Maria Jose has her holidays in her work. She is thinking in
going to the beach with her mom, she thinks in going to Salou, a little village
in the Mediterranean coast.
At the end of April the two lovers want to say each
other good bye and have long walks through the Retiro Park, but today they are
waking down Castellana Promenade in Madrid, one of the most beautiful
promenades of downtown the Spanish capital.
After a long walk they seat in an
open bar in the middle of the promenade, it is hot and they take a seat under
the promenade´s trees and talk peacefully.
They
are very close touching one to the other with their sights. Emilliano asks
Maria Jose how is she feeling close to him, how has ben these four months going
with him and what does she thinks of their relationship?, in fact three
questions in one that more or less he knows her answer but he wants to listen
it from her dear lips.
She
says to him, I feel really very good close to you, in fact I would like to be
closer, the four months have been like a dream for her, and she thinks their
relation is going absolutely well.
Why
do you ask me so, Emiliano? Easy to reply you my dear, because I want to ask
you if you like to marry me.
Yes
Emiliano, I do, I´ll will be with you for the time you want. But let us live
the present because I feel myself happy, very happy. I love you so much that I
want to be your spouse for the rest of my life.
Thank
you so much my love, I love you as you cannot imagine Cuca, it is such an
incredible dream what I am living that it seems like impossible to me. Yes, my
dreams come to be reality, I will love you forever, I will care you till my
last breath of life my dear love. Thanks so much, never will you regret saying
me you love me so.
Emiliano,
we have nothing, no house, no furniture, our family doesn´t know anything, it
is so fast that result like incredible to me.
That´s
the same to me dear, but it doesn´t matter, the way is ahead of us, we have all
our life to walk for it, always together and never will we be in a hurry for
anything.
When
you return from your holidays, next summer we will look for our house and all
what we need will come after the house. Enough to live together without
luxuries as to me the luxury will be to have you close me every day, every
night, all the time my dear love.
It
is so good, we have promised and nobody knows anything, not your family, not my
mother, not my sister or brother.
Yes,
that is true Cuca, but we have time enough to let them know about our love, my
family has confidence on me and they know I am dating a nice, very nice girl,
so it will be not a big surprise for them.
Be
sure Emiliano that for my mother and brothers will be a great surprise, never
they ask me anything about you my love. I don´t know why, but it doesn´t matter
for me. I love you my dear.
I
love you too, so much, you can´t imagine how great it has been my love just
from the first moment I saw you in the academy sitting in front of me. Do you
remember?.
Yes,
of course, I do perfectly well Emiliano. Never I could forget how brave I was
asking you so.
Talking
so, the couple spend the evening, close one to the other, thinking on their
life together just from this day of the end of April 1969 in Madrid.
Just the end till now.
