She smiled as they walked.
"This is not a good love story to be curious about. These are the chapters of my life that I wish to forget".
The girl looked at him doubtfully. The man's eyes seemed resentful
"Anyway, what's your name?" She asked to break the awkward silence that developed between them
"Adelmo" the man replied.
She stared at him.
"Yes. I am German." The man said.
"How did you get settled here?" The girl asked.
Adelmo stopped walking. He looked at the girl and said: "Let's sit on that bench and Talk".
She looked at him and replied, "yeah ! of course ".
"you will run late for work"
"No ... There is still time till the office opens". The girl said
Adelmo smiled as if he knew That was a lie
"I lived in with my aunt in the countryside in Germany, I lost my parents at a very young age .i don't even know them and what happened to them, My aunt took care of me ever since she was everything to me she gave me everything she could." He continued "Her husband left her for another woman when he found out that aunt could never give him children .so I was everything for her ".
"We had a flax plantation, cattle, poultry, and some pigs. That was our livelihood. My aunt couldn't work that much so I did most of the work" Adelmo said
"Life was the same each and every day. Deliver milk, Do the household works, take care of the farm "
Adelmo continued "I was fed up of my life when I was just 15 .My aunt compelled me to go to school but I didn't want to so she used to sat down each and every night and teach me and I am grateful to her for that "
Adelmo turned silently. He was staring at the horizon
After a long pause, the girl said
"you forgot to tell about her "
"Sorry .memories of my aunt always make me wander off .she was a mother to me."
