35. THE RESISNATION

She had eaten nothing since her departure and did not feel strong enough to drive. She looked for the Auditorium bar. After covering up with her disproportionate sunglasses, she ordered several canapes and a non-alcoholic drink and looked for the furthest place in the room. She had an unpleasant feeling that all these past events would be visible, and his appearance must be horrible. She felt the need to vent her bitterness at her resignation by writing something with her cell phone that expressed his low mood. She titled it “Sing with me.”

“If you are sad and depressed,
if you don't find your way,
if you don't have a friend.
If you have lost hope,
if you lack confidence,
if you think everything threatens you,

sing with me,
and your friends will be,

We are inexperienced, and the elderly tell us what we must do, think, or believe,
but we know we can make the world better, think without evil, and believe in freedom.

If you think you have no future,
if you feel insecure,
If you think you are insignificant.
if you constantly doubt,
if people scare you.
if your future is grim,

sing with me,
and your friends will be,

Older people believe that young people cannot be trusted,
but young people know that we cannot trust older people's trust.

If you feel lost,
if they hurt your heart,
if your dreams have fled.
If in anything you believe,
if it exhausts your mind,
if you think you have reached your last stop,

sing with me,
and your friends will be,

sing with me,
and stay by me,

She thought it could be a good parting gift for Nano. She copied the letter on a napkin and handed it to the bartender, begging to hand it over to Nano if he came to the bar.

“It will surely come, I have four bottles of champagne for the musicians to chill.”

A short time later, the bar filled with concertgoers. Nina felt overwhelmed and feared that she would not be recognized in that her sorry state. She left the Auditorium looking for her car.

Unsurprisingly, she had a fine under the windshield wiper, but Nina did not bother to take it from the windshield wiper. She started her car as if something of her had remained inside that strange building and prepared to retrace the path that had led her to what she believed was her happiness.
