[Antonio's Prov.]

It's been a long.. Umm time
A lot of stuff has happened, the King gave us a visit, Washington is back and we won the war and all that.
But what the rest of the group dose not know is that I'v been paying visits to the Bodega without a trace. Me, Usnavi and everyone in that little place are friends.  Abuela Couldia is like a mother to me, to everyone. She is sweet. Everyone there is.

~one night there, after the war~
"Coudia, are you okay?"
" paciencia y fe!" She said back to me holding a sack of something.
"What is in the sack?"
"Something for Usnavi"
"May I see it?"
"If you promise you will not tell anyone!"
"I promise! I have not told anyone about me sneaking off out here! Please, I am trustworthy!"
"Alright, Ill show you."

~five days later~
SHE WHAT!!?" I yell as Benny tells me this story.
"Yes! Nina, she dropped out of college! She.. Lost her scholarship as well!"
"Oh my god that is horrible!"
Poor her

~couple days later~
"HER DAD DID WHAT!?"
"Yep he sold the business to pay for her tuition! So now we are out of business!!"
"Kevin sold Rosario's!? No! Wow!"

~few days later~
"HE WHAT!!!" Everyone yelled
"Yes.. John Laurens was shot and killed in South Carolina in the war.."
Everyone took a minute of silence..
"Alabanza.." Ninna said
"Alabanza.." Her and Claudia say.
"Alabanza...
paciencia y fe..  paciencia y fe.. !" Everyone on the block chants as Claudia says those special words that everyone knows and loves.

~back in New York~
Everyone is greaving..
We soon get over it but it- obviously- took some time.
