A Love In Dark Times
Chapter 2

“Let the night not break!” shouted a madman who was called pocillo for having only one ear, who faithfully believed that he did not shout this throughout the neighborhood the sky would collapse, perhaps he was right because that night whe he was going to start with his task an ex-insurgent insulted him for insisting on this absurdity, without saying a word pocillo gave him a jug, In the same way, the one who was pardoned but not innocent, who gave himself off as decent, but who thought he was more than the other people and in spite of the fact that he had his own filigree, in spite of the fact that he was not affected at all by the actions of the town crier, in retaliation for the action he took out one of his weapon and broke this “savior of his world” for good. I hope he is caught and tried, that this crime does not go unpunished like t ones he committed when he was an official militant, covered by a false demobilization, which like many noble acts of the government concealed dark economic motives, that I know resembled a beautiful cream of a nauseating cake of which th top leaders took big slices.

The next morning Luis opened his eyes, disoriented he thought for a few seconds that it was a normal day, he would hav to hurry to go to his occupation which was to look for work, something very complicated in these dark times, when he wa about to get up a sharp pain in his chest in addition to the pressure of the bandage that made it difficult for him to breathe, with effort he turned to the edge of his bed, lying face down, he placed his legs on the floor where with great car he got up again to minimize the pain, he looked for his flip-flops, because the cold of the cement floor caused him pain when urinating, This overwhelmed him until he could not stand it and a moan came out, that caused the door to open, revealing beautiful eyes that showed concern, it was Luisa who the eagerness to help made him forget the precaution opening the room by the cry of his savior, she although her face was so upset from crying the tragedy that although he diminished it, it was still a tragedy, He saw her beautiful as if the whole house ran behind her and the landscape became bright blur, highlighting her as a divine apparition, which for a few moments made him forget all his pain. Seconds or perhaps minutes passed where the souls of these young people seemed to merge without even touching each other, the magical silence was interrupted by his brother, who came to help him out to the dining room for breakfast.

At the table were the two parents talking as friends, despite having had some clashes especially for soccer and politics, both mothers were in charge of the kitchen and two girls were waitresses, it was as if everyone was walking in pairs, exce Luis who was helped to walk by his brother who leaned almost all his weight and Linda who, knowing that she was not ve strong, did not lean against him, but he tried to rub against her to feel her warmth.

At breakfast there was an aroma of camaraderie mixed with uncertainty, as expected Don Fabio, Luis’ father, spoke at the head of the dining room:

“1 want to tell you that for me it is a pleasure to be able to help our friends and neighbors, the Monroys, too bad that und these circumstances, my family is very happy to be of great help.

To which the other father, Don Car, naturally responded:

for us itis an honor to be here in your glorious home and we feel infinitely grateful for your great hospitality and I take this opportunity to thank and apologize to young Luis because it was a miracle that he heard my daughter's calls for help and without hesitation he gave us help, I am very sorry that some debris almost killed him, and well although we lost almost everything, we still have the most important thing, which is life and health, plus the best friends and neighbors in the world.

So much lambasting and etiquette together on the part of some people who used to hate each other, but who had been united by a misfortune and soon by a marriage or something similar.

The regent of the drugstore knocked at the door interrupting their breakfast, she arrived to change Luis’ bandages, the ones she had put on the night before, she was surprised how his clothes were torn as if by claws, although luckily he was not seriously injured, however, there was something very strange in the cuts with a greenish tone that reminded her of th miners’ wounds caused by dynamite, Besides, he had a reason for the Monroys, the news of their misfortune had spread like crazy and the Christian church had already arrived to help, where they went, although they were not very devout, sin they said they were Catholics, but they went to that church sometimes when they gave markets or lunches, that's why the pastors knew them very well, I mean why they went and played the suffering ones to get as much help as possible; They hurried to have breakfast almost passing the bread whole and sipping the very hot coffee, they left in a hurry and began their procession of loud cries a few meters before reaching the place where their home used to be and that now was a place of pilgrimage of curious people, but where some foreigners who came from the head office of that church were alsc gathered and who received them with open arms crying with them.

After the show of tears, construction materials began to arrive and from under the rocks came workers to rebuild the ho or better yet, this time to build a sturdy house, collaboration arrived as if by magic thanks to the divine presence of the news.

But wait, old Mike, you said it was very old and now you come out, with what people helped to get on the news. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

-yes itis very old, what happens is that at that time there was also something similar and besides, suddenly your tempor perception is not the same as the one I have, how do you think that people helped just to look for fifteen minutes of fam no, the main thing was the disinterested sense of helping what moved all those hands that did in a few days what was ne done in years, a house made of cement and bricks; Thus turning around the misfortune of the Monroy family, they even received household appliances that they never had and even food to throw away, because they did not know how to eat i clothes and money that the father promised to buy what was missing and he did, but according to him what was missing was liters of beer.

Soon the Monroy’s lived in their new home that was even inaugurated with a mass, Linda's parents promised to be better neighbors and even invite Luis’ parents to lunch often, but this was a promise even more empty than the edge of the galaxy, what did last was the friendship between the young people of reference and did not stop their storm of love.
