That's where the feelings begin.
This event occurred on a rainy day. It happened, and from there I knew that Gaia was someone important, and I knew that my life was changing with just one rain.
When preparing breakfast. I went to work like every day, and then to the university, however I wanted to resolve certain points. The main one. Marriage and my love for her.
- Gaia What are you doing today?
-Danna! I have to go out and do some paperwork.
- Okay...Well, I'll be late. Today it will rain. Bring an umbrella just in case.
We don't talk about anything other than that.
When I left for work I assumed it would be an extremely long day.
The first one I was able to find is the idiot Riff who is always talking about his majestic way of handling work with another of Arnold's co-workers. A guy with symptoms of a sociopath. Well I'm exaggerating. My work extends a wide range of strange beings, well my wife too, like my life. -
- Hey!! Jupiter. My favorite planet. – Arnold commented
- Oh. Hello! – And I continued inside.
- Rigel! He's looking for you – He yelled at me giving notice. – Riff said. -
- Rigel? Do you already want to bother so early?
- Thank you - I greeted from behind, raising my left hand. And keeping my other hand in my pocket. Selflessness is my ally in these matters.
Luckily I was able to leave early. So I could spend time walking along the commercial sidewalks. Some coffee wouldn't hurt. I took my cell phone. Of course there were no messages.
When passing by a cafe restaurant I look inside. There was a lady sitting. She took her coffee with both hands, staring at him as if she could reflect something. It's Gaia! Could she surprise him? I thought!! Then a man appeared. He seemed to be coming from the bathroom. He was tall. Silver hair. A little beard. He was wearing a dark colored shirt and a jacket. Dark pants and shoes. He was the prototype of the businessman. Curiosity consumed me. Did Gaia have to go out to meet a man? Who is that? Part of me wanted to get closer and part didn't. I had to contain myself. Be cautious. She spoke at times happy and at times her face fell. Then she seemed to raise her voice and he answered. And she went back to her old coffee cup. They stayed like this for half an hour. Then they both called the waiter and he brought them the bill. They rose from their seats and in synchronization arranged the chairs in order. They were both preparing to leave through another door. I couldn't help but follow them. To a certain extent between people who mixed with them. She looked at him and spoke a few words, and he responded. She lowered her gaze and through the tumult she ran away. He just sighed. I tried to go for her, but the crowd was a tide of waves that lost her like a sinking ship. He could send her a message, but he had to have a clear reason. At night she would talk, wouldn't she? It was better to see our marriage. If she had someone there was no need to continue. It could be that love she mentioned. No. Well yes. I don't know what my head is thinking. It's all a mess. I couldn't take my eyes off that guy. It was possibly what Gaia wanted. In the end this would happen. I went to the university class without any desire for it, imagining
over and over again that moment of both of them. The class had its order, although I was lost
He was willing to discuss the issue with Gaia. The class had paused when the teacher called for a break. It was the anthropology classroom. Matter that, with Gaía, could be made famous. Studying the phases of the natural ecosystem in which man developed is quite tedious, so it is forced to do so. In any case, I was immersed in my work with my hand, elbow and arm, supporting the mentor with a view of the horizon.
-Danna! You are very thoughtful. Are you worried about this marriage?
- It worries you....
- Cupa….Cupa...…. That voice of Gaia.....my mind...
The echo of Gaia resonated in my mind. I shouldn't worry about it. But as a result of dreaming about her every night. She forced me to want to have a relationship so I wouldn't lose her. I fell more and more in love with Gaia. It was like we shared many adventures together. It was not a mere fantasy. A theater to deceive. It was like a reality that only took place in my head.
Would it be beautiful if everything that my mind draws of the two of them were real? Or at least not wake up the next day to find that lie again. Gaia made it clear with hints that she did not want anything. But should she really have feelings for me? And what would happen if another man appeared in her life? It would all be over I guess? Thanks for everything! No!!, Noo!!
When saying a denial. Josefina who was in front of me listened.
- Jupiter, are you in a cloud? Stop dreaming – She turned around.
- Sorry. He was half asleep.
- Surely you dreamed perverse things
- Stop talking nonsense - I kept with a look that denoted stealth. – Besides, my dreams are private. I do what I want.
- Libidinous!
Since her comment bothered me, I played along. Although my only thoughts are for Gaia.
- Stop interrupting my pleasures.
-Wow!!... – she remained meditative – Aren't you dreaming of me?
- Huh???
- Ahh..noo!!!..even in your dreams you flirt with me. Noo…!! It can't be done. You know it can't be done. You are married. I am a refined woman. Besides, if that were the case, I would have to be your lover and I wouldn't tolerate it. And not. And well I'm sorry.
- Stop saying stupid things. I have better dreams than that. – I said with arrogance – This woman loves to ramble with nonsense to end up rejecting me in different ways without her having proposed anything – I said to myself with a mocking face.
The class concluded and I said goodbye as I left a terrible downpour fell from the sky. They were tumultuous waters that represented rumblings. Some streets were flooded and impassable. The buses passed by filled with humans, crowding the vehicle like chickens in a cage ready for sacrifice. I decided not to take out my umbrella when I was able to locate one to ascend to. I paid the ticket and positioned myself as a block piece fitting in with the other beings who were looking at unknown horizons. Each to his own.
When defending myself from that one, a puddle of water soaked my feet. I opened the umbrella as best I could, although the wind was very strong. Then he gave in as the minutes passed.
I arrived in the middle of torrential rain to the street closest to the main square. On the way through the extensive streets the cars were driving at speed. There I found a woman in a yellow raincoat. She was in the middle of the intersection going to the park. As the waters entered, they became more intense. The trees in the square roared with the wind that soon succumbed to its eternal blow. It was a rain that soaked in all directions. That woman soon discovered her hair. It was Gaia. She was heading to the park where in the middle of a trellis she approached a statue. I went to where she was located. I tried to run but the downpour was impossible. It was as if the rain spoke and she expressed herself to the falling drops and then returned her gaze to the large statue of a woman with wings. It was the angel. This was her name that was placed between part of her carved marble body. Gaia expressed herself with a thin voice and her petrified figure did not answer her. For moments I chose to believe in a crazy wife whose mind went off. It was strange that she spoke to a cat, and even worse to inanimate objects. I went to her and shouted through the force of the waters to that woman in front of her bust.
When she turned around she looked at me. She had her face soaked. Although I perceived that there was also something in her retinas that escaped her. They were other drops. It was a rain from inside her. Some tears She may have believed that they only existed to blend in with the immediate garua, but no. They could distinguish themselves. The waters within us carry feelings other than those that come from heaven.
- Gaia!!!
-???
- Gaiiaaa!! What do you do in the middle of the rain?
- Danna!! It's you! "She," she told me with a passive tone and a submissive look.
- You're going to catch a cold!!! Look how she is raining. And the park is a quagmire.
Why are you here?
- I'm sorry! She – she lowered her gaze.
- Do you like this statue so much to come at this time?
She kept the answer to herself.
- And aside... well, leave it... - I remained silent. It was better. There was something important to her. It was better to respect him as when she respects the fallen. That's all.
She remained silent and I didn't want to say anything more than that. I stood next to her and we stood firm without saying a single word. I brought the umbrella to cover her.
- Do you want to go back? – She expressed. -
- No. I would like to be here with you. -
- Huh? -
- Yeah. We are a marriage. That's if you want. If you need solitude? Can I leave. Or wait for you? If you need time? I can give it to you. I am that I am will wait for you. Here, at home, or wherever – I felt the need to say these words to him. Not being reciprocated is painful, but we must live with it, however we cannot avoid going again and again to declare our feelings on a flag. Gaia knew what she felt, but her life was somehow predestined. And I was not that being that would live next to her. Just a lab specimen until the problems are fixed. I ran to the side. A little far so as not to disturb.
She smiled. She approached me and hugged me. My heart was beating again. After a few minutes she walked away just a meter.
- You are a fool Danna! You're a fool! - And other tears left her. After half an hour we returned together. She looked at me in a way she had never looked at me before. Her reddish eyes had something.
From there many things happened. He dreamed about her every night as if we were a real marriage. Beautiful and sacred. But despite those dreams. A moment that I have in my memory is this. This one returned home together and hand in hand.
