The silence of the strings..

part 28

"28"

Arberdo is speaking, and everyone - Teresa, George, Lina, and also Julian - is listening to Arberdo.....

......Back to the past...

In the middle of the night, it was freezing cold and pitch dark. In a hotel in Milan.
Stephanie is sitting drinking wine and crying, but suddenly there is a knock on the door. Stephanie gets up in horror, grabs a knife, then slowly opens the door, pulls the man out, and raises the knife in his face, but she finds it is Arberdo.
Then Stephanie spoke angrily: Oh, what do you want from me? Is there anyone who can come to someone at this time? So she throws the knife on the ground and throws herself on the bed and continues what she said boredly. Tell me what brings you here, you idiot.

Arberdo looks angrily at him and says: Because the matter concerns you, me, and your sister, Maria. He sits down and completes a statement. Elias learned of Maria's betrayal of him, and I do not know how he knew, and now he is so angry that he ordered me to kill Maria and to kill you, unless he could, and I do not know what I know. Help me, please. Then he bursts into crying.
Stephanie gets up lazily, takes a cigarette, lights it, blows on Arberdo's face, and says coldly: "I know," because I was the one who told him about the relationship between my sister, Maria, and George.
Arberdo looks in amazement and says to him angrily. "But how did you do this? I can't believe it. Are you crazy?" Stephanie stands in annoyance and says coldly. "I know that I did make a grave mistake, but I was angry with him at that time when I told him about my sister Maria's betrayal." Arberdo replied angrily. "Were you angry with him or your sister, you bastard?" Stephanie approaches him, looks at him angrily and says. " Who is the bottom between us, me or you, who loves his friend's lover and brother George, who he trusts even more than himself." Arberdo replied while looking at the window and blowing angrily and saying. "Well, I am a bastard and a contemptible person, and you are the angel who does not make mistakes."
He remains silent and angrily at her, then completes his statement. "Have you rested now? Now tell me how we can get out of the predicament you put me and your sister Maria in."
Then Stephanie sat on the edge of the bed and said to her as she put out the cigarette. "There is only one solution, which is to you take Maria and run away with her outside the country, and leave it to me. I will solve the problem with Elias and George." Then she was silent, looked at him sharply, and continued what she said boredly. " We agreed " . Arberdo replied, looking thoughtfully. " Ok, Deal " . So Stephanie leans on the bed and says. "Nice, now go to George and tell him to come to me, and you do what I told you." Then Arberdo goes silently..

.....Back to the present.......

Arberdo looks at Teresa with remorse and continues, "Then I came to you and found Maria giving birth, and you asked me to help you take Maria to the hospital so she could give birth. After we arrived,i meet to Elias there and he told me what he was going to do for you while I was here. i was Happy and sad for you, happy that I had the chance to be closer to Maria, and sad that you were my brother."

He was silent crying for a while and continued saying. "Before the German army arrested you, I went to Maria and told her that Elias had killed George and that he would kill you, so you must escape with me. After that, I became weak and told her about my feelings for her. After she gave birth, and named Theresa after me " Theresa Arberdo"..., and I went to sign the papers. I heard the sound of gunfire and People were running here and there. I was overcome with fear and ran to Maria's room. I found nothing but blood smeared on Maria's bed and that Elias had been killed and stabbed in the room. From here, I do not know anything about Maria except that she had committed suicide and had thrown herself from the Alps. As for Stephanie I don't know anything about her except that she got married to an American and is now living with him in Washington. And that's all I have. and I ask you and Teresa to forgive me ." He bursts into tears and blames himself...

Everyone looks at Teresa with regret and asks her to forgive , but Teresa silently leaves the workshop... George and Julian follow her, but Lina holds the hand of each of them and asks that they leave her alone for a while...
Teresa walks with heavy steps, her soul drowning in the seas of her pouring tears and the silent screams of lightning accompanying the mysterious ashes of her clouds, like a hateful winter that runs through her ribs, cooling her bitter fear and her appendages about..

.**About what is going on, who knows what is being said, what is being said in this question, and who is the idiot in this situation? Who from whom I don't know. I feel like I'm stuck in the storms of the past. And I am terrified by the lightning of the present, absent, and unjust person in a dream. The hurricane of terror contrasts between joy and sorrow. Should I be angry with Arberdo? Who raised me and gave me love that I would not have had it not been for him. Or joys in the presence of my father, whom I have not seen since my mother gave birth to me, about whom I have only known a melody that soothes my calm and boredom. What's wrong with me is that I don't find myself in text messages linking to the unknown. I am satisfied with the stunned silence. And the hoarse, wounded voice...***
