October 1942
The day proved being so tiring and long for everyone who regretted the loss, it was painful to say goodbye to Thereza... After all, we are born and we already know our destiny. No one lives forever if we are sinners in the eyes of God. Already with Thereza buried, I left the last white rose in his coffin and soon left the place. At home, I saw my mother in the air of sadness, sat in her red velvet armchair, crossed her legs and lightly landed her fingers on her forehead. I wish I could use it as a consolation, but we know how much she hates interruption! Finally, it is our moment of mourning that will be respected the silence will come to take over. When I went up to Thereza's room, the memories passed and there I found her old picture, she was beautiful as a porcelain doll, she used to be a sweet person to us, we loved to hear her sing all the time to cheer us up. I sat in his favorite armchair that was in front of the window, the sun would illuminate the room, the wind traveled and made my hair hover in the air, and the radio played her favorite songs, whether of love or sadness. Nothing else mattered; your image and your name will always be remembered.
December 1942
It was the day of Ava's solo performance, before she started, Ava was showing the air of nervousness. What artist wasn't got nervous before the performance? I volunteered to do her makeup and choose the best and most expensive dress. Ava looked at each other in the mirror and her hands shuddered. — "I really can't, Audrey. I can't do it alone." —
—"Don't say you can't and you won't be alone. I'll be there and no matter what else, be yourself and rock! Do what your heart says, put out all your feelings. In case it's a media disaster at least you tried, you did your part, you did better... Go out there and sing! Be brave and let them know who you are. Now put on a better dress and go." — I held it in her hands as I gave advice, I could see that I could calm her down.
Why do we talk with our eyes as we sit across the table?
And why do we walk arm in arm whenever we are able?
Feet on the ground, 'round, spinning 'round
Please tell me why my happy heart keeps repeating that it's so.
No, don't tell me, don't say you're mine
Don't tell me, it's just a lie
Why whisper words I have never known
Or speak your heart whenever we're alone?
No, don't tell me, it isn't fair
For I'm foolish, I'll start to care
Why are angels singin' high above?
No, don't tell me I'm in love.
Her long black dress highlighted her curves making her glow on stage, really Ava shone delighting everyone with her sweet and angelical voice, made the audience thrill and applaud standing up. Ava had deserved everything for her courage, emotion, bravery, strength and confidence. Her image was the cover of magazines and newspapers; it was there that a star was born!
