The South Page #2

---

the day before my first communion

two women arrived from the south.

The Seagull! There it is!

Do you see it?

Where?

On top of that house,

it seems like it's flying for real!

Milagros, I don't see anything.

Pepe! Hit the brakes!

It has to right here.

Are you sure, Milagros?

If we're wrong...

I said to stop, you untrustful...

(horn honks)

I think they're here.

Run. Go to open up.

What a racket you're making, woman.

I'm coming!

Mom!

They're here!

Now I hope you behave

And where's your father?

Dad!

DAD!

Come here a moment, Estrella.

What for?

I'm going to comb your hair a little.

But I'm fine!

Please.

Come on.

Does Don Agustin Arenas live here?

Yes, we've been waiting for you.

Pepe, go ahead and unload the trunks.

I don't... I don't like it parted on that side!

That's how you always wear it.

But it looks terrible!

Its prettier with your hair up out of your face,

stop fidgeting.

When you see your grandmother, don't forget to give her a kiss.

Okay...

Okay...

I'm telling you because I know you.

Agustin.

Agustin. Agustin, my boy!

How many years it's been...

and such a shame for all of us.

You've changed so much.

Are you content?

Yes.

You're not just saying that?

How's my mother?

She's in the car

She's so-so

she had a bit of colic four days ago.

What a misfortune,

we almost had to stay home.

Go on... Go and find her.

Estrellita?

You are Estrella, right?

Yes. And you're Milagros.

That's right!

Hello, son.

How are you?

A little weak, but good.

And Estrella?

She's grown a lot, you won't recognize her.

This beard...

makes you look so old.

Get rid of it.

And your wife?

Good, good.

Come on, let's go into the house.

Yes, let's go.

I cant believe how far away this place is,

I thought we'd never arrive.

Good afternoon, Miss.

What's your name, dear?

Casilda.

Look, can you do me a favor

and grab my cane, it's in there.

"The Seagull. "

Did you give it that name?

No, it was here when we arrived.

Estrella!

Do you remember me?

It's your granddmother...

The last time I saw you

you were just born.

Julia.

How are you?

So-so, dear.

Just so-so.

But I wanted to see my granddaughter

on the day of her first communion

and here I am!

You must be tired and its getting chilly.

Let's go in.

Here is Miss' cane...

Help Pepe with the luggage.

You know who I'm remembering right now?

Who?

Your father.

If only he were here.

Milagros was the woman who took care of my father

since he was a boy.

She had a way about her

that seemed incredible to me.

Different from everyone

I'd known up to that point.

That night we had to sleep in the same room.

When does it start to get warm here, my girl?
