When Senator Onesmo Sanchez found the woman he had waited for all his life, he was still in front of him
Six months and eleven days before you give birth. He had met at Rosal del Ferry,
It was a virtual village, used as a secret harbor for smugglers' ships at night
It was like a useless outlet that leads to the desert, and faces a sea that is not arid
His direction, the village was remote and far from anything, to the extent that no one would have expected it to be
Any human being can change the fate of any individual. So that her name was somewhat laughable
What, because the only rose in that village was put by Senator Unismo
Sanchez in his jacket the afternoon of the day he met Laura Farina.
It was also a mandatory station in the senator's campaign every four years
Years. Carnival cars arrived early in the morning, followed by trucks
Indians who were hired and moved to smaller cities are reduced to increase the number of crowds in
Public celebrations and amplification. Shortly before 11 am, the car arrived
The ministry is similar to the color of the strawberry drink, in addition to the cars that carry
Musicians, fireworks and jeeps carrying footnotes. The senator
Onismo Sanchez, was sitting relaxed in his air-conditioned car, but as soon as he opened the car door,
Until a powerful whiff of flame blew over him, and immediately his silk shirt was wet
Net, and he seemed to have dipped in a light-colored soup, and felt a sense that he grew several
Years, and felt loneliness in a way he had never felt before. In real life, he had reached
He was 42 years old and had graduated from Goettingen University with honors as an engineer
mining. He was an avid reader of classical Latin translated works.
The senator was the husband of a brilliant German woman who gave birth to five children, all of whom lived
Happily in their home, and he was the happiest until they told him, three months ago, that he would die
An eternal dead before the coming Christmas.
While the preparations for the rally were about to be completed, the senator was able to
The self-eviction for an hour in the house they had prepared for him to relax in it. Before it expands
On the bed, put the rose that he kept throughout his journey across the desert in a full cup
With drinking water, and swallowed the grain that he took with him to avoid eating fried pine nuts
She was waiting for him during the day, and he ate several palliative pills before his appointed time for fear of being caught
the pain. Then place the electric fan near the swing and lay naked for fifteen minutes
Under the rose, and made a great effort to keep the idea of death away from him to fall asleep a little. Except
Doctors, no one knew that he had a few days to live, because he decided to keep his secret folded
And not to change anything in his life, not out of pride, but because of shame and shame.
He felt he was in charge when he went out to meet the audience for the second time at three o'clock
That afternoon, he was comfortable and clean, wearing a pair of coarse linen, a blouse,
The anti-pain pills helped him bring some peace of mind to his soul. But
The weariness in which death caused him was more insidious than was thought, for once he ascended to the podium,
So he felt a strange sense of contempt for those who were striving to be honored
Shook hands with him, and did not regret, as before, the masses of Indians who could hardly
They carry the embers of burning potassium nitrate under their bare feet in the small, hollow square.
And with a gesture of his hand he stopped clapping, almost angrily, and began to speak without appearing on his face any
Specific expressions. His eyes were fixed on the sea, which was moaning under the weight of heat.
His deep, weighted voice was like stagnant water, but he knew he was not telling honesty
In the speech that he had memorized by heart, which he had delivered before the crowds many times,
But contradicted the words of Marcos Aurelius of algebraic in his fourth book of meditation.
"We are here to defeat nature," he began his speech contrary to all his convictions. "We will not be cut off
In our country anymore, the orphans of God in the world of thirst and the bad climate, are exiled in the land of our fathers
And our ancestors. But we will be different people, ladies and gentlemen, we will be great people
And happy. "
There was a certain pattern in this circus. While he was delivering his speech, he was his aide
They throw groups of paper birds into the air, giving life to these creatures
Synthetic, flying around the upright platform of wooden planks, flying towards the sea. In
At the same time, other men unloaded and planted some logs from the trucks
In the potassium nitrate soil behind the masses. They had set up a cardboard facade of
Red brick houses with glass windows, and hide behind the real miserable huts.
The senator extended his speech citing two Latin citations to prolong the farce. He promised
The crowd is made up of machines that make rain, with mobile devices to raise table animals, and with oils of happiness
Make the vegetables grow in the potassium nitrate soil, and seedlings of the flowers of the cultivated trinity
In a saucepan. When he saw that he could create his imaginary world, he pointed to it with his hand, and shouted at the top
His voice: "That path will be our path, ladies and gentlemen, look, that path will be ours."
The crowd turned. A ship made of colored paper traversed behind the houses, and was longer than
The highest house in the artificial city. Then the senator noticed that it had been built and lowered
And carried from place to place, the heinous weather charges of the overlapping cartoon town, and almost
Become as bad as the village.
