A story of an old woman whose violent husband has just died.




Her hopes and expectations of growing as a woman have come back to her life today, but everyone around this old woman with a rough appearance that shows her lack of interest for life are given her compassion. They are trying to help and support her in her grief, but Rosaline is not sad anymore. Instead, the frustration and anger she feels now is product of those tortuous years of marriage, and of course, they are reflected in her very blue and vague crystal eyes and no enthusiastic face. Her memories of the most beautiful years of her life that are gone and will never come back to her join in her fragile heart today. After everyone from her house is gone, this is a perfect moment to feel depressing and lonely in her small wood house that is placed in an isolated place far away from the suburbs, Rosaline says to herself. For a while, she instead sees all the colorful and satisfying days of her life before getting married, after that the only lights she can remember were the moon’s lights during the very dark and cold nights and violent daymares that used to woke up her during the days and years her marriage lasted. For the first time, today, after several years of mistreatment, the night that was dark one day is becoming white and brilliant to her. She can inhale the smell of freedom and her eyes blue and crystal are shinning for first time. All her frustrations and sufferings seem to be reaching to its ending today. The feelings and senses of life which gives pleasure, give happiness are still unknown experiences to her because she feels like a baby exploring a new world and meeting intense emotions. The happiness and peace have decided to visit Rosaline today, and they are advising her to put out all kinds of tensions and stress of marriage away from her mind and body. They seem to be saying “Let yourself be my dear Rosaline”. At the moment, she heard it from her friends, the happiness and peace, there was an explosion in her own inner self and a powerful illumination in her mind and heart. Now, her vision of the world is clearer, and a natural and wonderful landscape is approaching to Rosaline’s imagination. Her life has changed and she sees the present time most opportune for a realization in her nature as a woman and to achieve her life's most important matters like truly love and sex which will not only help her to have a happy life but also allow her to live a peaceful and satisfied life. This new beginning has replenished her empty old spirit, and she sees her new start as a heaven where she can live for herself only. In this heaven or landscape, there is not more personal and social obligation like used to be in that hell, but there is a commitment with “Mr. Freedom” to both live her own life and remain single for the rest of her time in the earth if she wants. Rosaline’s vision today is of two clouds but one is resting along the swan mountain and the other cloud is ready to enjoy the goods of life. She says to herself, this is the moment I had been waiting for, ever since I got married, forty years ago, and the fresh and dry air of the mountains is steaming around me and I can feel the breeze of the rivers across my fatigued body and foot fingers and cheeks. Everything around her was new and perfect over the night. She also sees a purpose and mission in this new paradise where the leaves of the trees of sorrow do not exist anymore but trees of life with abundant health and cero violence are everywhere. In this heaven, the water is pure and crystal and the river that look like tears are of life instead, and they flow reaching the eternal happiness in her weak heart, and Rosaline finally tries to keep her spirit alive to enjoy it. Suddenly, she see herself recovering the years lost and takes this opportunity to bring to the surface her true self.
