The Murder

7th Chapter

7

One day, we were I, Juliana and the children, Dahlia and John in Madeira Mamoré Square, visiting the Museum of the Madeira Mamoré railway, and when we had an ice cream, waiting for the boat that would take us for a ride on the Madeira River, we find the Eva.

She came from the Museum where he had made a visit to the curator and left an edition of his latest book, the battle of the railroad, which of course, was a success, with sales up abroad.

She saw the children and was soon asking:

- Well, well, who are these beautiful children? Asked smiling.

- They are Dalia and John, from the House of Assistance Saint Rose. I responded indicating Dahlia who made signs for John.

John smiled as big as the whole world and that captivated Eva definitely. Then told the story of the children, the problems, and the deficiency of John. Eva listened to everything carefully and was appreciative.

The children were already adults and had grandchildren, when I wasn't with her grandchildren was writing and so the books are that now your company always.

And seeing that she could do without the affection for John and dahlia, I could tell that she missed it. At this point John was with ten years and Clement with thirteen. Both were very intelligent and at school can make a difference already Dahlia. Definitely would have a promising future.

From this date whenever we could walk with children Eva was invited and joined the troupe. She was so much that happened also to help with donations to House of Assistance Saint Rose.

Juliana was who else was delighted with all this, because she loved his work in the House and support with donations to House would and could continue helping the needy, especially children.

- Douglas, meet Eva was the best thing that could have happened, of course, to support that was a blast. I was already worried. Sister Catherine told me that every night when I go to sleep pray a lot to God for a miracle to happen and apparently Eva was this miracle.

- I know my love, Eva is a sweet person, I was sure that she wouldn't be insensitive to it. And you can be sure that if she can help more, she will.

John and Dahlia was as much part of our lives that we even made plans to leave our wedding to stick a couple of brothers. But destiny sometimes interferes in a way that we can't predict.

A few days later call me saying that Juliana sister Catherine wanted to see me, because I had a very important matter to talk to us.

I was puzzled, wondering what would be this important subject. Does the House of Assistance Saint Rose was again in need of help? Any child with problems beyond the expected? Or worse, will be that someone had committed a crime there?

Only when I got to the site is that I heard and the news was actually a bomb. For Juliana and I. But great for children.

A person had appeared at Saint Rose and expressed interest in adopting John and dahlia, because I really liked them and wanted to provide a home for those children so adorable.

Until then there was no problem, after all, a couple of times this happened and was a general party, much joy by adoption and sadness for what some would go too far and would no longer be seen. But it all ended in a farewell party.

But when Sister Catherine spoke the name of the person concerned in adopting me almost fell backwards. Eva Machado.

Yes. Eva. Our dear friend.

Had compassionate children and loved them as their own children. Create a bond of love in these few months with them and wanted to keep this loop forever. Was a woman alone and for sure these kids would give joy to an empty House for some time.

Although stunned at first, I and Juliana were very cheerful. There could be no better person to adopt John and Dahlia. Documentation, including, was already initiated and lacked only the Ok of the judge. And with the fame of Eva that wouldn't be any impediment.

Leaving there, we went directly to the home of Eva and she when she saw us realized that we already knew and opened the biggest smile in the world.

So you already know. Sister Catherine told? Asked Eva.

- Yes, she did. Said Juliana and came here to thank his love for children. They deserve a loving family and I so much as we're sure they Douglas already found.

We hugged the three together in an emotion there. Crying a shared joy.

Eva said that of course we always invited to attend at his home to visit children and emphasized that even was an invitation and a subpoena, making an allusion to my work.

We Agree. Of course.

We loved those children as if they were our children, and as Eva acted faster adoption, anything we do, we should still love them.

The destination was acting. The facts that came next were devastating, but I'm not going to precipitate.
