"LA Rambla"? But where is this "? She asked Linda when Tulio read the name of the town.
"It's just a small problem, where is it?" started Tulio sitting on the couch and frowning his eyebrows. He was still stiff after playing a game that turned out to be difficult.
"The question is why should we go there?" concluded Tulio after a moment of silence. Linda looked surprised, so Tulio decided he had to develop his statement.
"We don't know who that old man was. Maybe he was just lucky why we're here. But I don't know what's in there. How do we know he's just some kind of crazy person?" said Tulio, throwing a roll of cards on the table.
"That's not why I flew all the way to Europe to think I'm being driven by some lunatic! It's too late for that, Tulio... Now I have to find my Blu if you want to go back," said Linda, apparently moved by the whole situation.
"I'm sorry Linda, I didn't mean it..." He wanted to start Tulio, but he felt lost, so he just went silent with remorse.
"Maybe now let's get some sleep, tomorrow we'll go there." Fernando meddled in trying to break the awkward silence that followed.
"Yeah, let's go to sleep. It'll do everybody good." ...and Linda said. And then, without any exchange of opinion, everyone got ready to sleep. But before they fell asleep, Linda asked briefly:
"You're an ornithologist, why don't you care about that?"
Tulio got lost when he heard it.
"Why don't I care?" Tulio kept repeating in his head, wondering about the phrase of the words. It meant a lot to him, but to conclude, he felt a little guilty. With this conclusion, he stopped thinking further and turned to the other side to sleep.
The sun began to rise above the horizon. Unfortunately, some of the sun's rays were effectively blocked by clouds, which on that day were exceptionally massive in the sky. A gentle wind was blowing, which gently moved the leaves of the trees, and was sweeping dust from the roads. At the latest, Linda woke up. She had a dream in which she was with Blu spending time with him as she used to. In the dream they read books, watched movies, ate dinner. She missed it and really wanted it back.
"Linda! Linda!" started telling Tulio to wake her up by hearing her still saying her pet's name.
"It's better if we leave her alone, let her sleep." Fernando said, silencing Tulio.
"So... I'll go downstairs and order breakfast, you stay here if Linda wakes up." said Tulio. He opened the door and left the room. Fernando sat in a chair and looked out the window at nearby buildings at people walking on the sidewalk. They were wearing blouses, so it was not very warm outside. Some had hats on their heads. A few moments later Linda woke up and stopped saying the name of the parrot.
"Good morning Linda" said hello to Fernando.
"Hello" answered Linda looking around to find Tulia, but he was nowhere.
"Where is Tulio?" asked Linda.
"He went to order breakfast... You know you kept saying Blu's name?" asked Fernando with curiosity when he answered Linda's question.
"It's probably because I had a dream about him..." she sighed Linda with thought. At that moment, Tulio came into the room and held the receipt in his hands.
"I managed to... Finally... Hi Linda," said Tulio sitting next to Fernando. Linda replied with a wave of her hand.
"So what are we going to have for breakfast?" asked Linda with curiosity. At that moment the waiter came into the room and served the table with three plates of bacon and eggs. In addition, there was chives and orange juice to drink and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Everything was served on a ceramic tray, which was white with decorative patterns. Linda looked at the food with a big surprise.
"wow... How much did it cost?" asked Linda.
"Don't ask, enjoy it." Tulio said. He still didn't say anything, because he took care of the food. Linda finally stopped asking questions and enjoyed breakfast. After 20 minutes, the food disappeared from the plates and everything was cleaned. The waiter came and took the trays with the plates.
"So we can go now?" asked Linda. Tulio took a piece of paper and laid it out. He looked at it for a while, like he was looking for something in it.
"Yes... We can go there now," confirmed Tulio by nodding his head. Everyone got up from the chair and started preparing to leave. After 15 minutes, everyone was already dressed and ready to leave. They went down to the reception desk, reported in and left the building. Outside, they were immediately greeted by a rather cold wind, which was particularly noticeable on their faces, fortunately it was not as big as it might seem.
"So when I went down to the reception desk, I took the liberty of checking my way. We'll go there for an hour and we have to go straight to the crossroads, then we'll turn left, at 2 crossroads to the right, then we'll go straight and we'll be at the target," Tulio said, and then they started heading towards the target. Most of the road everyone got lost in their thoughts, sometimes they managed to maintain some kind of dialogue, but most often they marched in silence. Linda kept thinking about Blu, she missed him so much, she still missed him and with every moment even more. However, the thought that maybe within a dozen or so days she would manage to regain it added some humour to her. She did not allow herself to think that she could lose him. In her reasoning it was impossible for that to happen. Her subconscious didn't allow it. From time to time Tulio stared at Linde, once she caught him smiling a little.
"Why are you looking at me?" she asked Linda with a light smile.
"Just..." ...and he said, "Tulio's embarrassed. Embarrassed, he didn't look at the girl anymore. Soon, after a walk of about an hour, they found themselves near the target. In front of them there was a plaque with the town.
"So we arrived," Tulio said. He looked into a roll of paper and at the plaque, the names were all right.
"So what are we looking for here?" asked Linda.
"Building number 11," Tulio answered, hiding the card in his pocket.
