In State Lotteries told us that the prize would join us notarized and it would take a few days dispose of it, so Martina, though it was a fair bit of money because they had invested all their savings in the editorial, we made a breakthrough to resolve the issue of false documentation, fines and other ...
The issue of roles was seen and unseen. We arrived at the swanky office of specimen loss and was released the wad of money on the table of shyster and have the papers in his hand almost instantly, which thanked Martina was very nervous because the illegality of the transaction. With our papers in hand, picked up the car and headed to my house on the Avinguda del Tibidabo 29.
- Minerva, what a car!, Is beautiful! Mother, this is a gem, you can not get an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat this car is worth today ... Collector is! - Martina said as he drove the car enjoying every stroke of the wheel.
"I know, I love my car, so I had to recover and outside," I said patting the body with the hand ...
People looked at us and passed first time, I enjoyed ride under that bright sun that flooded Barcelona.
When we arrived, we left the car in the garage and went home. Martina
could not believe what I was seeing ...
- "Pe ... but if this house was abandoned!, was practically in ruins! And the garden?, It was just a pile of weeds! ... God this is unbelievable, "said Martina unable to leave his astonishment.
The garden looked in all its glory. The trees, flowers, hundreds of scents and sounds of birds made it look like a little Eden, and the house had a special glow, seemed new and fresh out of a fairy tale.
By the way, We had stopped to do some grocery shopping, because the truth is that at home and there was a lot of things to put in their mouth. From the day we tried to buy but could not because we asked the damn euros, had been eating some foods from artisans left in the pantry ... While
Rosa, Rita and I put the food in place, Martina turned to look at lots of paintings, furniture and pictures that were in the room.
- Minerva, come here! You have to explain who are the people who appear in this photo, "said Martina thrilled.
- do you see?, Look these are my father and my mother, this is my brother, your grandfather, these are my aunts nuns said ...- pointing to each person who was naming.
- This is my grandfather? "Asked in surprise Martina.
"Yes, this picture made us a few days before our" journey "- I said.
"I'm so impressed, this is a dream for me," Martina said excitedly.
- Come on, I'll show you the house! - I said grabbing her arm.
"You can not even imagine how this house was the last time I saw ... is really beautiful, has something special ... I do not know how my father has been able to put it on sale, "he said as he looked stunned Martina everything around him.
Meanwhile, I was making teaching Host every room in the house and would explain some of the history of everything that was in it ...
"Look, this cabinet Amatller Antoni brought us, a good friend of my father, of China, is the favorite mom. By the way, I saw that his house is as splendid as always in the Passeig de Gracia, "I said pointing to a piece of furniture with oriental designs in polychrome
...- And I continued:" And this sofa
brought him to us especially in Paris, a whim of my father. Here are places to smoke cigars, reading or meditating, "I said pointing to a red velvet sofa.
- Is that picture?, Is a Holiday! - Martina said stunned.
"Oops, I think, we plenty of pictures of Ramon!, is close family. Look at emerging in this picture are my father and my mother I came out with ...- without giving much importance to the issue.
"Well you know it is a highly acclaimed painter ...- Martina said.
- Ramon Casas?, "Our Ramón Casas," I said incredulously.
"Yes, if" your "Ramon Casas," added Martina.
And so we have a good time, Martina discovering and rediscovering myself, all the parts that made my home life. A lot of objects and furniture and decorative items manufactured by craftsmen well known in our time and were part of the narrow circle of friends of my parents, as: Francesc Vidal, Josep Maria Jujol, Alexandre Riquer, Josep Llimona ...
All these wonderful objects now took a new dimension for me. It seemed as if, for some strange reason, was aware of every one of the things that went unnoticed by me for being the most quotidian. Martina
"Look, now I'm taking you to the cellar, that's where we find the cookies and hanging ...- Martina took her arm and led her toward the stairs leading to the cellar.
Opening the door behind which were the stairs a new golden glow filled the house and a delicious aroma flooded our noses with the same force as a delicate perfume. Rosa Rita came running to the kitchen to see what happened.
descended the stairs to the cellar and the showcase, where we found the cookies and the pendant, a golden light shining out that endowed them with supernatural warmth throughout the room. The magical combination of light and aroma made us feel really good, it was as if we had entered another world of calm and harmony.
As we approached we saw that emitted a light that seemed to levitate above the meantime glow. Martina
, showing his impatient nature, put his hand on and without any hesitation took it. The envelope was really beautiful, like everything we had found in the window was not unconventional.
"Let's see what goes down. This is like a Harry Potter movie! - Martina said as he dropped a nervous laugh.
- Harry Potter?, Is an actor known at this time? Charlot whistles I someday protagonizaré a movie with him ... I loved The Gold Rush! "Said Rita daydreaming.
"Girls, what is this," a map? - Martina said, as he turned the sheet containing the envelope, the backwards and forwards ...
- do you see? - I added, while Rita and Rose also came to view the content of the leaf.
-True, a map, but I have no idea where ... Look what it says here: The key pendant will take you to the answer, but first you must find the entrance ... So with this map and the key to hanging "know the answer to why our trip? It gets you moving ... Look at the map to see if something sounds to you, then I showed the map to Rosa and Rita and reviewed from top to bottom looking for something that was familiar but did not seem to recognize anything in it.
"Well, we can start thinking about where he might be among all the input. Write down on paper anything you would think it may have something to do with this map, "said Martina giving one last look. After looked at his watch and said,
- BTW girls, tonight we are invited to a party. Well, I am invited to a party but I'll take you to that you also distraigáis awhile. It's a party that gives a friend of mine to celebrate its advertising agency has won a Gold Lion at Cannes. Attend the cream of Barcelona society, so now you can fix it, and please, you must be very discreet, if someone found out about our "history" would be the end of my reputation as a serious girl ... all the world would think that I lost several screws .... So I recommend you see, hear and shut-
On hearing that we were invited to a party we put like crazy!, there was nothing in the world that we like to go to glamorous parties. Ero fact what they do best, have fun.
- A party! Oh, Martina, perfect! Thanks for taking us! And you say you are going to be cream of Barcelona society, yujuuuuuuu, as in our time! I'm wondering what I'm going to get. Come on girls going to the closet that we have much work ahead, choose our outfits will be a difficult task because we need to be dazzling in our first party at this time, the time it requires. And by the way Martina, do not worry I will be exalted as discrete ...- Le Guin knowingly, a look at Martina.
Rosa and Rita also got excited. They kept laughing, clapping and screaming thinking about the fantastic night we expected.
"Now that I think. It would be better that I leave the clothes, because these outfits, discreet what is said is not going ...- discrete Martina said thoughtfully.
- What? If I have the best wardrobe of Barcelona!, I have always been the envy of all Barcelona. If there is anything that distinguishes me is my good taste, right girls? - I looked at Rita and Rosa nodded at once.
"If Minerva, I doubt not, but these dresses are very ... "20's" said Martina touching transparent sleeve of my beautiful pink dress.
- Of course!, That time want to be! We are a 20's girl! By the way, I saw that our clothes are very fashionable today, in some shop windows side not look out of nothing ... I'm going to wear your clothes horrible, pluck it out of the head .- I sulfur.
- Not me! - Rita said, turning his face.
- And I do not! - Rosa finished sentence.
-Daughters, a stubborn one you will not win. Do what you please, but as I warned!, Much discretion in everything we do or say ...- Martina said giving banal terminating the discussion.
