After the fateful day
(Hello Again)
Dede must be miserable. So many people have been knocking on mama’s old house, telling Dede their encounter with us before the accident. For some reason I feel happy; not because Minerva, Patria and I are dead- of course not- but because so many people are feeling remorse from our death. Each and one of the visitors had their own stories. One of the visitors is a little soldier with bad teeth, cracking his knuckles, and says that he had ridden in the car with us over the mountain. Then there was another one with a different story, then another one came, then another one, and visitors just keeps coming.

My dear husband, I am so proud of you for getting out of politics and becoming a big builder in the Capital. You have now remarried! She is even more beautiful. Leandro dear, you deserve a life filled with pure happiness.
My dear sister- Dede, You have encountered Lio, your ultimate crush! Who knew? I hope this is the start of your happy life. You must move on from the past. Minerva, Patria, and I have accomplished our goal, to eliminate Trujillo. Thanks to Lio for reminding Dede what we have truly accomplished: Free election after 31 years, the coast a clutter of clubs and
