Chapter 144.

Ultraviolet Ultraviolet: of electromagnetic radiation, having a wavelength shorter than that of the violet end of the visible spectrum but longer than that of X-rays. You cannot see ultraviolet rays at first glance. THE DAUGHTER Csar resumed in a bad mood once she told me she has a brother that left home very young.

And once more he ended the story at that point like if the rest was obvious. Im not risking a theory because... I began to say. You think her brother is Ritas father Froiln did risk a conclusion. Yes, I do He didnt say a thing more. And, what does your grandfathers trunk have to do with all this? I asked. Nothing, it doesnt have anything to do, it just reminded me her brother had left Csar didnt clarified. I see, and the story of the hotel? I insisted. Oh, nothing, importance. just an experiment He dropped not attaching

An experiment Froiln repeated with some kind of sarcasm. Sure He put an end not giving any explanation more.

Insisting didnt seem to make him willing to give more details about what he called an experiment, so I went down to his place with the intention of leaving, I still didnt know to where but finding out my father could be the unruly brother of some Csars former girlfriend didnt help me at all either. If you want I can introduce him to you Csar yelled behind me.

I kept on up to his place, I was looking forward to meet my alleged father, but I had show myself anxious too many times and too many times I never got to it. Im serious, I know where he lives Csar hurried up. Really? And how is that if fifteen minutes ago you didnt remember that guy had told you about him? Froiln also hurried up.

Csar didnt even took a look at him. Sure hes at home, do you want to go? He insisted.

I must admit I enjoyed the moment, seeing a cold and unperturbed Csar almost begging after me was to enjoy it. But I also have to admit that I took long to answer because I didnt know what to say, I didnt know

if losing the little pride I had left and tell him I would; or if keeping it and tell him I wont. Look, why dont you stop wasting our time, what the hell do you want from us? If you dont tell us the truth, we leave Froiln set the limits.

Csar ignored him and sat down next to me. Its not far He insisted. Fine I gave in lets go.

He didnt haggle, he took the jacket and left down stairs making sure we followed him. His workshop is just two streets far, we lived there then He explained looking back as if he was pulling us.

Froiln and I looked at each other. There was a catch. I stopped dead, I needed a few seconds to take a deep breath, swallowed the pride and restrained the keen to smash his face into the street lamp. She knows Ramiro yet, she doesnt need the introductions, wed better go on our way Froiln spoke in my behalf. But he can tell us where his son is Csar insisted like a little kid. The way you spoke it seemed they didnt keep in touch I fell again like a fool.

Csar noticed it and resumed his steps not answering, if I were paying attention I would see clearly I was right; but even Froilns eyebrow got to keep my feet on the ground only to follow Csars steps. He didnt lie about the distance at least. Ramiros house was quite similar to Csars, a high ceiling garage on the ground floor, an aluminium door with small squares glass, a buzzer on one side. Csar didnt doubt, when we reached the door he was just going up stairs. On the strairs we could hear a peaceful music, a clinking on the door and lauder music. Hi Ramiro Csar greeted. Hi kid I felt a stabbing pain in my heart when I heard my grandpas voice not that tired, not that sad Whats up? No, nothing, dont worry Ramiro, I was at home with some friends and she told she liked the puzzles and I remembered you make these things and we thought about coming Csar explained not bothered at all, like if he had it prepared. Well My grandfather said moving aside to let a Csar he hadnt talked to for long show his toys to a complete foreigner come in, come in.

Inside, sat on an armchair was knitting the one that should be my grandmother, she was looking at us over her glasses with a funny smile.

This is a mess, I started with a toy I imagined at night Ramiro apologized. Dont believe him, its always like this, at least I get to keep him away from upstairs, I dont let him take anything out of here She got up while she was speaking Ive been searching for my glasses for hours, I left them on this table yesterday in the evening and, do you see them? Shes wearing them Froiln said in a hurry on my ear half laughing, half not wanting to say she was stupid. Not these ones, kid She took off her glasses to see them these are the old ones, thank goodness I always keep everything, but these dont filter the ultraviolet rays and I like to sew next to the window. Do you want to have anything to drink? Sit down please, sit down everywhere you want.
