- The problem asks me to find the area of the triangle whose vertices the focus of the parabola and the points of intersection between the straight line passing through the origin and slope four and the parable itself. Humm .. Andrea I think I've figured out how to solve the exercise. -
- Good, solve the latter problem, and then I'll take you to
training. -
Dominic was just brought in mathematics , it was a pleasure to help with homework , the boy was very cute and smart. We had built a good relationship, she was born a spontaneous sympathy , we spent much time together . It was integrated into the group on Sunday, often came with me and Serena, or we find ourselves together at his house watching all three of dvd . Now that I helped him in math there was not a day that we do not frequentasse . It was entered in confidence with me , told me of his days at school , his relationship with the girl, often wanted advice on how to deal with her, talked to me of his relatives , I was confident as he suffered the loss of their parents. He had been through a lot , and was very fond of his sister .
I got up and walked over to the balcony and watched the busy street by passers-by, the sky was overcast , turned his gaze to the desk, Dominic was concentrated in its calculations, next door had the bag that bore the logo of his school football. I turned back toward the road , I thought back to Saturday and Sunday just passed . The chance encounter with Tommasini , had given us the certainty that something was not right , that the bond between the two people killed and the engineer was there. On the one hand we wanted to end this story , tear up the picture , and forget about everything , and it was definitely the best choice .. though .. But there was that damned curiosity , the desire to go all the way . We had spent the day before to decide on what to do . To consider all the pros and cons, ie assess all risks. And in this story , there were only risks. The last person in the photo was Ciro Lo Vecchio .
Maybe he would have given us the explanations we were looking for , or maybe we would have saved him from danger . " Maybe we can save a life " this phrase uttered Serena made her laugh , laugh that was contagious , "Of course now we become heroes."
In the end we decided to do the last step. After completing the tasks I accompanied Dominic football, then I would pass on the faculty from Serena, who finished the six lessons and we would have gone to engineering , where we tried Lo Vecchio . What would we have done if we had found it still did not know.
Dominic had finished exercising , put in your backpack books. We were ready to go out.
Andrea - I ask you something ? -
- Yeah sure , tell me as well. -
- Before you take me to football, we move from the parish? From the church of Santa Rita. Should I talk with a second father Tusa , regarding my confirmation, I should tell him the name of the
godfather. -
- There are no problems , we pass immediately . -
- Here I also wanted to ask you, if .. in short, you were pleased to be my godfather. -
The boy was visibly embarrassed .
- I'd love to , but do not think that there are other people , maybe a relative who could fill this role ? -
- No, that is .. I am attached to you, in short, in this period have helped me in so many things , you gave me lots of advice , I spoke with my sister and is happy with the choice , in short, would you do me a nice gift accepting .. -
In my heart I was happy , it was something totally unexpected , it was a nice boy .
- I agree, and thank you for choosing me . It's something that makes me very happy . -
We arrived in front of the courtyard of the church , there were many kids younger than Dominic, running , joking , waving and clear folders that contained books and notebooks , sitting on the steps of the church to smoke a cigarette, there was a man in his fifties with thick curly hair and a black beard that was on the gray , wore thick glasses and gaze lost in thought .
- Come on Andrew, he is the father Tusa . -
We approached the priest, who became aware of our presence , stubbed out his cigarette , stood up and came against us smiling.
- Father, I present what will be my godfather . Andrea Restivo . -
He shook my hand with energy, this man was a real rock.
- I am pleased to meet you, she is not real parishioner of this area ? I've never noticed a mass. -
"Nice godfather was chosen Domenico " I was not a good Catholic , I was not very observant, I would go to church for Easter, and the last time I confessed that I went back to the Punic wars .
- Well, yeah , I'm not a Catholic model . - I admitted with a little ' embarrassment.
- I still wonder if there is this Catholic model . - He said, smiling . We were a little ' chat, then calling all the kids , excused himself by explaining that now he had to teach catechism to children.
- You see the face every now and then to mass, it can not hurt . -
Dominic left the football and went to college. The appointment was for the five and a half in front of the bar of engineering. Serena showed up with a little 'late , we had no time even for a coffee, it was already a fortune if we'd be able to meet Lo Vecchio . We walked along the arcades of the faculty now deserted , there was no natural light and a cold wind was blowing . We entered in the department of mechanical engineering, we run into the janitor , it was all wrapped up by a long woolen scarf , put all his attention to a week puzzles . We asked the professor Ciro Lo Vecchio .
- It seems to me that there is still , however , you have to go up to the second floor, there is his studio . - Said in a bored voice . Just served its purpose , isolated himself in his hobby .
We climbed to the second floor and found ourselves in a large room that looked out over several rooms , the doors had a tag with the name of the professor who occupied it .
Here's the knock - room engineer ? -
This time we had no plan , we had not prepared speeches, we did not know how to address the meeting .
I was about to knock, when the door opened and out came a man who could not show more than sixty years , and still going strong .
Good evening professor , sorry if .. - Serena was interrupted immediately .
- Guys gotta run , I'm sorry , if you have something to ask the engineer 's Grapes may help you. - That said, without even look the engineer disappeared down the stairs.
From the same room he had just left the professor came out a much younger man engineer.
- Guys do you need? -
- No, no thanks engineer , we had to talk to the professor . -
- As you wish, but remember that the professor , the department will return next week for exams. Good evening. -
He closed the door , you could see that he was irritated by the fact that we wanted to reach out only to the professor.
- Good thing we have to do tests with him, if it would be linked to the finger. -
We sat in the car , fortunately before it started to rain , the city was blocked for the shower the traffic was crazy. We were silent , both lost in their own thoughts . I was the one to break the silence .
- Serena, your brother asked me to be his godfather confirmation, I was very pleased . -
Yes, he wanted so much , now sees you as a guide, and I am very happy with this relationship that has developed between you. He could not make a better choice . -
The rain continued to fall plentiful and we were stuck in traffic.
- This city is unlivable - snorted .
- Yes . But it is also so beautiful , I still remember the beautiful walk we did on Saturday . - His face lit up suddenly laughed. - Each city receives its form from the desert it opposes . Do you know who said that? -
- No . - answered
- Italo Calvino , my friend. Score one for myself, eat with us tonight . Dominic will be returned home . -
He gave me a kiss on the cheek and began to hum a song that was giving the radio.
At home in front of the door , sheltered by an umbrella , we found Ms. Rose .
- Serena, is that Ms. Rose , the woman who lives with the engineer Tommasini . -
Amazed , the meeting went . She was pale and cold , who knows how long I was waiting for . We went inside to the front desk .
Mr. Andrea - I must speak , it is rather important. -
I noticed that her hands were shaking , he was scared. I did not know what to say.
Serena stepped - We go to my house, Mrs. follow us . -
