The Murder

Epilogue

EPILOGUE

As I had predicted, the news fell like a bomb in the press. The population before threw stones for children now wanted the head of Jorge. "How could a son kill mother in cold blood?" that is what they said.

Finally John and Dahlia were free, nobody else accused of anything. But I didn't want to think if I hadn't been able to find the culprit. Our society was still very hypocritical, susceptible and easily conducted by who had more voice.

By Eva's Testament, John and Dahlia would not need to worry about for a long time, and John soon could use that device for deafness that Dahlia had commented to me, which probably would help him a lot. It would not be an outcast of society.

Jorge, for being the author of this abominable crime was shit-canned by his family and had no right to his share in inheritance. Was the punishment he deserved?

By the way, Jorge had a jury accompanied across the State and finally was sentenced to a penalty of 25 years in prison starting in closed regime. The only mitigating circumstance was that decided to confess at trial. Could have taken more than 30 years. He could not escape the evidence that were overwhelming against him.

The most exciting was Eva's family have asked forgiveness from John and Dalia and finally accepted the brothers within the family. Until Geraldo, which before did not accept under any circumstances the new brothers has been consistent and apologized for any offense that made them.

But for consideration and even logic, John and Dahlia preferred to buy a House and live together. After all, she already had 18 years and could be the guardian of his brother. Just asked me to help administer what they had gained from Eva, by Testament.

Exactly on this day is completing ten years of crime that has shaken Porto Velho.

Dahlia now has 28 years and has a degree in law, and as a lawyer helps those people who cannot afford to a fair defense, made tender for a public defender and fight every day for their constituents. She is married to a lawyer who gives any support to her and they both have a little girl of three years. The most beautiful thing. Sure, that Juliana and I are godparents to Maria Vittoria.

John went on to use the instrument when complete 18 years ago and never left, today, at the age of 25, requires no more than use sign language with us, but he still uses for his students, teaching them everything you have learned. He graduated in pedagogy and specialization in deaf-mutes. Not married yet, but has a steady girlfriend for two years.

Juliana and I have our kids and we always say that John and Dahlia were our first children and love them as if they were even ours. Are still in the family. Never ceased to be.

After going to church early, as we do every Sunday, we took John and Dalia and we went to visit the tomb of Eve, in the cemetery of the innocents, which is practically in the center of the city, an old cemetery and that only uses plots of family. The plot was well taken care of and after a brief prayer in favor of Eve. We look inside and near the photo in which Eva was smiling there was a White Dove, which I am sure was not there seconds ago. I am sure she was telling us everything was fine and that she was happy, wherever you are. Before I could warn the others of the pigeon, he flapped his wings and flew to the sky, disappearing then.

The day was beautiful, blue skies and a hot wind, rare thing in Porto Velho.
