"So what do you decide now?" asked Fernando.
"I think it's easy," said Linda. Fernando opened his eyes wider. He didn't understand. Linda pointed her finger at Barcelona, which was a red dot on a big map.
"Get ready, Fernando, we're going to Barcelona," said Linda a moment later.
"Wait... We?" repeated the surprised Fernando.
"Do you have another way out? Remember, it's your fault they're not there, you don't want to feel guilty, do you? Linda answered. Fernando lowered his head down. As you can see, Linda decoded him quite quickly, because he knew he had to go with her... To calm her conscience.
"Okay... And Tulio? Will he stay here?" the boy asked.
"I don't really care, we'll find two of them," said Linda. She opened the old wooden door and left. Fernando followed her slowly, closing the already falling apart door.
"All right, but what now?" Fernando asked.
"I think it's easy... We go to the airport and fly... But first I have to take my suitcase from the hotel," answered the woman. They both moved towards the city.
Meanwhile, Blu and Jewel were looking at a huge villa in front of them. She was beautiful, at least according to Blu.
"It's beautiful," commented Blu. Jewel did not answer. She was not audible all the time.
"If it was a normal frame, we could get out..." answered Blu.
"Well done... Only now did you come up with this in your head?!" said Jewel, upset.
"I told you I can't open the cage. My claw is too short and that's not the way I'm going to do it. And there's nothing useful here," said Blu.
"Great, so we're waiting!" said Jewel. At the same time, the door opened and every man got out of the car. The merchant who bought both birds took them with him, but did not hug the cage to himself, but kept it at a distance from the side. They headed straight for the front door, where two people stood. The businessman probably predicted that Jewel would try to bite him, so he kept the cage far apart. Jewel pulled her head out of the cage and tried to bite him. The man when he saw it laughed shortly after seeing a small wild animal. The limousine most probably drove to the parking lot, which stood behind the huge flat. Soon they arrived to the door, which was opened by servants.
"Welcome, Mr. Sergio," they said together, opening the door. The man answered with a short smile. From the very beginning, Blu saw that Mr. Sergio did not bother his servants. In many of the films he had seen, it was like that. The better bypassed the worse. Here the contrast between the film and real life was visible. They walked through a richly decorated corridor and then came to a huge hall, which was made of gold. For Blu the first thing that caught his attention was the red carpets, which were almost everywhere on the floor. There was a chandelier hanging on the ceiling, most probably made of diamonds. In front of them there were stairs that led to the top. As befits a rich staircase, there was also a red carpet. Mr. Sergio turned into a corridor that was to the right.
"Where do you think we're going?" asked Jewel at the time. She also looked around observing everything, but she felt terrified.
"I don't know, but we should find out soon," said Blu looking around. He saw a lot of pictures, hand-painted, made on canvas. Soon they went from a huge room to a smaller one and then stopped there. Mr. Sergio put the cage down.
"I have something for you," he cried out and then went in the same direction. Blu and Jewel were in a cage, standing on a wooden table and waiting for someone to show up. Soon afterwards, sounds started to come from above. Blu and Jewel began to observe the stairs, which were also in this room. A moment later he started to descend from the stairs... A child. Blu was even more surprised. They were bought... For a child? Generally it was more of a teenager, as Blu came closer. He had short brown hair, brown eyes, and he was tall. He was about 16-17 years old. He was dressed in a suit, which was carefully trimmed, as if it were for him. Soon the boy reached the cage and bent down gently to watch Blu and Jewel.
"Hi" said Blu waving to him. He was immediately hit by Jewel.
"Your girlfriend what" laughed the boy taking a cage and walking further down the hall.
"I waited a very long time for you. Practically it's several years. I was waiting for a sucker to find you. Many people didn't believe that your species was alive, but I still believed that you were somewhere. I was sure of it. I myself once flew to Brazil to find you, but you didn't show up... But in the end I have you, and this is your new home," said the boy. Soon he stopped by the glass door. Jewel immediately walked up to the wall of the cage to see the thing she lost many years ago. A thing that gives motivation to live.
"My home..." She whispered Jewel.
Fernando and Linda were in the hotel at the time, Linda was taking her things she left behind.
"Let's go, I think that's all," said Linda. They took the elevator back (they couldn't before because it was busy). When they had already gone downstairs, there was still a taxi waiting for them, the same one they had arrived at the hotel. Linda packed her suitcase in the trunk and got into the vehicle.
"Where are we going now?" asked the driver.
"Linda answered, "To the airport. A moment later, the taxi moved on and they were heading towards the airport. Fernando stabbed his face in the window and watched all the vehicles pass at a surprisingly fast pace. One by one, the vehicle was a single streak on the windscreen. Fernando finally broke away from the window and saw Linde, who had come up with the idea. He decided to talk to her in any way he could.
"Have you ever been to Spain?" Fernando asked.
"No, it will be my first time, I've never been to Europe," replied Linda, and then she went back into her mind again.
"A very hot country, it's almost as warm there as it is here. But when it comes to the movement itself, there really is a difference. I wish there was such a traffic in our country too. You don't have to brake there, there are still some traffic jams and every journey is annoying. The driver interfered with the conversation.
"Were you there? " asked Linda.
"Yes, a few years ago "the driver replied. The rest of the way was quiet. Fernando got stuck in the window again and watched the cars pass by one by one, passing by faster and faster. From time to time he looked at Linde, who would occasionally pull the phone out of her pocket. He admired her for sacrificing so much for the bird. He understood that Blu was more than just an animal to her. It was not an hour before the airport was in front of them. The sound of airplanes was carried in the distance.
"We are here," the driver announced.
