María Eugenia was withdrawing money and the cashier swallowed her bills. "I noticed some eyes fixed on the back of my neck" ―María Eugenia said―. I'm going to call the bank. ―María Eugenia continued

― Hello friend, sorry the ATM did not give me the money that I would take out, I was going to the bank to look for a friend who works there to help me, seeing that the same thing was happening to you, I decided to let you know to see If we both go to solve the problem. - Monica intervened an unknown girl who was in the place.

― Ok, excuse what I'm going to tell you, but I don't usually trust people I don't know, but I'm going to trust what you say and if it's not like that, I'll start screaming for help. —Replied Maria Eugenia

― Don't worry, I'm also suspicious of people I don't know, but I'm going to make an exception with you because I'm noticing that you're very worried, let's talk to my friend to solve the problem for us.

So the girls entered the bank and asked the guard for Ulises Cienfuegos, who is the manager of the banking agency.

"Good morning, Mr. Watchman, did Ulises the Manager arrive?" Monica asked.

"Good morning, ladies, if Mr. Ulises has just arrived and is having breakfast, what do you want?" Manuel the Warden of the bank answered.

― We are going to make a claim because the ATM has withheld our money and we could not get it out. He knows me, my name is Mónica.

― Ok young people, at this moment I warn you. —Manuel answered courteously going to the manager's office.

― Good morning, Ulises, how are you? Enjoy.

"Good morning, Manuel, well thank God, tell me what is offered to you?" Ulises answered.

"Two young girls are waiting for you, they want to talk to you because they were withdrawing money from the ATM and the machine withheld their bills, and by the way one of them is called Monica and she said you know her.

- Oh! If I know her, she's my best friend, a sister of hers studied with me in high school, tell her to wait for me five minutes and I'll take care of her.

"Okay, I'll tell you. —Manuel answered and then turned to the girls.

"Well, young people, Mr. Ulises will attend to you in five minutes.

"Okay, thanks, we'll wait." Monica replied.

― Hey, let's go in with the manager to solve the problem and I don't know who you are. —Maria Eugenia said.

― Excuse me, I approached you out there and I didn't introduce myself, my name is Mónica López, I live with my mother and my brothers, we have been living in this beautiful town of San Casimiro for 10 years in a community called San Jacinto, my father died two years ago years, not long ago I finished my high school, and I am opting for a place in the university which I am waiting for the registration dates to continue my university studies.

― My name is María Eugenia Bracamonte, I lived in Caracas and I am just arrived in this town with my family, we have been living here for six months now, I live with my father and my two brothers and my mother left us because of her work in a private clinic and public hospital, she goes out of her way more for her work than for us her children, but we don't live together, because my father got tired of her not paying attention to us and he doesn't like that and they reached a mutual agreement to live separately and we their children to live with my father, in any case, for some moment or circumstance, we want to spend time with her, that is up to the three of us, my father is not the man who speaks ill of his mother to his children, on the contrary, he tells us that we are free to decide who we want to be with.

At this moment when the girls are talking, the guard signals them to come in with the manager, and they also thank him for the attention with signs.

― Hello Ulises Good morning, how are you? Monica said.

"Hi little friend, good and how are you?" What brings you and your friend here? How can I help you? —Replied Ulises in a cordial tone.

After greeting each other with a kiss on the cheek, they begin to talk about their problem.

- Well the situation is the following. That we were withdrawing cash from the ATM, and the machine did not give us the money. - Monica continued.

― Hello, my friend, my father sent me to get cash from the ATM that he needs for his ticket and other expenses and since they do not grant him permission to do this, he sent me with his debit card to withdraw it and then this problem arises, and My friend here is also helping me to talk to you and to be able to solve it since the same thing happened to her, so she advised me and here we are talking to you. —Added Maria Eugenia.

― Well girls, I shouldn't help you because you are minors and secondly, the ones who have to come to complain are your parents, but I'm going to make an exception with you, but if you don't get used to it, it's not for nothing bad, but rather Supervision from the main offices in Caracas comes to carry out inspections and the head that is going to roll is mine, ok now one by one the account holders give me the information of their parents to give them a prompt solution and response. Ulysses answered.

Ulises told his secretary to please bring coffee to the girls who are in his office, while he began to make his adjustments, solving the problem on his computer, later he called one of his technicians to check the ticket vending machine and He will fix the bug as soon as possible, after half an hour, he returns to his office where the girls are waiting for him.

― Girls, it's ready, sorry for the delay, you can go use the ATM to make your transactions. says Ulysses.

― Thank you very much, and really what efficiency you have in the bank, I have never been treated so well. — Maria Eugenia responded.

― We strive to give the client timely and satisfactory information about their accounts and products is one of the factors that they value best, that they feel trust with us, that is, Clarity, confidence, relationship, proximity, comfort, solidity... These are some of the values ​​that define the way to understand and give prompt solutions so that customers are not disappointed and come back soon. Ulysses added.

― Ulysses, thank you very much for your attention. —said Monica

― You're welcome, friend. We are here for whatever you need, assist you and help you in whatever way we can and is within our reach, it's also a pleasure to meet your friend and send my regards to your sister.

― Nice to meet you and thank you very much for the help. —María Eugenia said.

― I also thank you very much for the help provided and if I send your message to my sister, see you soon. —Monica said as she said goodbye to Ulises.

After settling the banking issue, and having successfully withdrawn the cash from the ATM, the young women went to have coffee together. A cafe that, recalls a 44-year-old Galician woman, in her premises states that the owner of the premises "lasted three hours". He emphasizes that since then they have been inseparable, when the girls drink their coffee they continue the conversation on the bench while they wait.

― Well, as I was telling you at the bank, I live with my father and my two brothers, we have already spent six months in this town that seems excellent to me and I thank God that they gave my father a five-year contract in a construction company, he is a masonry teacher and directs the other workers to carry out the entire process of mixing the concrete, gluing the blocks and all those things, my father receives orders from the engineers and architects and he directs the others to execute them. friend, I think you mentioned that you have lived in the community called San Jacinto for 10 years, and that is the community where we moved, and in these six months that I have lived there I have not seen you, in what part of the community do you live? ― asks María Eugenia ―

― How interesting what you tell me about your family; And let me also tell you that we happen to be neighbors, which is cool, I'm glad and I think it's very excellent because apart from being neighbors I think we'll also be best friends, and well, answering your question, this community is very large, as you may have noticed, and therefore Both are subdivided into 4 sectors. I live in sector two near a school called Libertad. Where do you live? What is your reference? For me to locate myself and tell you if we live so close or so far. Monica replies. ―

― I also live near a school but it doesn't have the same name, that school is called: San José. ― says Maria Eugenia. ―

― Friend, that school is in sector four and we live about ten minutes away between the two, I'm already imagining visiting almost every day. ― Monica continues.

― This is crazy, thinking that friendships arise in the most diverse ways. In the school stage, these are based on shared time and space. In adulthood, on the other hand, affinities and common interests become more important. "The fact of thinking in a similar way, sharing values, ways of understanding life and hobbies favors the consolidation of friendship", ― explains: María Eugenia―

― Listen to me, María Eugenia, normally, in that first meeting or first conscious interaction we cannot know if we share something with that stranger. Sometimes it is the situation that prompts you to initiate contact, like what happened to us today at the ATM. Sometimes it is something more abstract.

― And I tell you that I love reading various stories of any subject, be it a novel, children's stories, paranormal stories, etc., and you made me remember an article that I read, which says that: In 2009, Christopher Gaziello was collaborating in the filming of a short in Madrid. The shoot was being a chaos and he, in a moment of anger, decided to sit and do nothing. "It was at that moment that he noticed that there was another person nearby who wasn't doing much either," a 35-year-old canary remembers the statue very well. That person's attitude, "calm and calm," gave him enough confidence to be honest. So he jumped into the pool. "This is crap, don't you think?" he told her. After "a very long second," the stranger smiled and admitted that yes, it was a total mess. That's how she met Edgar, so Christopher (left) and Edgar met on a set. And from there I got the idea that we as human beings know each other in a very crazy and strange way, and at that moment when you approached me in the bank I was going to knock you out because I thought you were going to rob me.
