How my brother LEON BROUGHT HOME A WIFE
Storyboard Text
- She stepped down from the Carretela of Ca Celin with quick, delicate grace. She was lovely. She was tall. She looked up to my brother with a smile, and her forehead was on a level with his mouth.
- You are Baldo.
- She said and placed her right hand on my shoulder. Her nails were long but they were not painted. She was fragrant like a morning when papayas are in bloom.
- Who told you to drive through the fields tonight?
- I did not look at him nor speak with him until we were at the rocky bottom of the waig.
- Father, he told me to follow the waig instead of the Camino Real.
- The first words that fell from his lips after he had kissed mother's hand were:
- I did not hear anything more because I had to go back to the cart to unhitch Labang. But I hardly tied him to the barn when I heard father calling me.
- Father...where is he?
- He is in his room upstairs, his leg is bothering him again.
- As I passed through the kitchen, There were mother and my sister Aurelia and Maria and it seemed to me they were crying,
- All of them.
- There was no light in Father's room. There was no movement. He sat in the big armchair by the western window, and a star shown directly through it. He was silent again. The door opened and my brother Leon and Maria came in.
- I looked at Maria and she was lovely. She was tall. Beside my brother Leon, she was tall and very still. Then I went out, and in the darkened hall the fragrance of her was like morning when papayas are in bloom.
- He was yet resting under the barn.
- It is time you watered him, my son
- Have you watered Labang?
