Finally, the most wonderful thing has happened. Tita and I have become one, and now I know nothing can stop us from being together. My wife has become quite uncomely, Tita's betrothed is away, and Mama Elena is dead, gone forever. Now that Tita and I have shared our love, I feel the fire inside of me, that had been struggling to stay lit, reignited. So, with that joy, I went out to celebrate with Juan and some of his men to have some drinks. The next part is a little fuzzy, but somehow I ended up underneath Tita's window, pouring out my love for her in song. Juan may have been there too, and Gertrudis, and some other rebel soldiers. I must have sounded wonderful, because Tita came to her window, and at some point her fire for me flew out the window like fireworks and combined with my own, and soon our love was ablaze in all its glory. Again, this was all fuzzy, but the fire of our love must have gotten too strong, and it started to burn me. I was running across the grass in passion, and there were others there, Gertrudis and Rosaura I think. All I wanted was Tita; I needed Tita. I was crying, yelling for her. Once she was there, beside me, I needed her to stay there. It was the most wonderful, most painful, and most fiery moment of my existence. I have never experienced anything like it. It proves to me that Tita and I are meant for each other, and that we will be together.

ReplyDeleteYour love for Tita may be very strong but it was not your love that started the fire. When I found out that you and Tita were having an affair, I began to haunt her to make sure she knew that what she did was wrong. I tried to make her regret what she had done to herself, Rosaura, and John. The night that you had been burned by the firecracker Tita and I had gotten into and argument and we were yelling at each other. Since I was the one that made her think she was pregnant, the physical pain was not enough suffering for her. Instead of physical suffering, I decided to make her emotionally suffer. The moment she told me she hated me was the moment her suffering changed. I threw the firecracker so that you would be burned. My ghost will keep haunting you as long as you and Tita still show love for each other. I may have died but you will never escape me.
Pedro,
ReplyDeleteAs romantic as this idea of yours that your and Tita's love created fire, it is not realistic. In reality, someone who was celebrating the same night as you were made a mistake when lighting the firework which caused it to spin out of control and as a result it caused destruction to a lamp and eventually to you. As thankful as you must be for having such a wonderful woman by your side while you are recovering, do not forget your wife. You should feel fortunate that Tita is by your side because Rosaura has no one with her while she is also suffering but with serious digestive problems. Just be mindful that you do have a wife who is a couple rooms down from you suffering badly as well.
