A CHOLERA IN THE TIMES OF LOVE - L.B.

By Lamorve Bagman Jr.

Titonho liked to send e-mails. From time to time, he invented an address and sent it off, without knowing the recipient and not knowing what was expected in the response. Opportunities for justice, imperial promotions, a job vacancy with 528 candidates already enrolled, health devotional, among others. Until the day a person, who was not legal, he replied. It was Josefina.

Josefina was a daughter of Demerbal, head of the e-mail division of which he worked. He answered and is answered directly to him, without answer to anyone (different from the people who send complaints with regard to the Pope). Hi, boy, what's going on? She was young like him, so as slang are understanding. He replied, "Are you the father's daughter?" She replied, "Yes ...". After another eight e-mails, the Titonho asked Josefina to marry him. She accepted. But Demerbal knew. He is a hacker who may have access to the access history of any e-mail for release.

Demerbal fired Titonho, who worked now in a cartographic company. He now sent letters to Josefina. After the 14th letter, Demerbal discovered everything and sent thugs to the sender to beat Titonho. He ended up going to a hostel, from where he continued with his dream of marrying Josefina, this time sending messages by mail pigeon. What happened? Demerbal had a breeding ground for birds. He sent the pigeon back with hawk and eagles to peck a Titonho's head. He unwittingly gave up his love, tried to morse, sent out a Turkish tent, from which he was deliberately willing to serve his sentence. Demerbal was called Demerbal Morse. And he was a descendant of Turks. In fact, Turkish prisoners. Titonho went down the drain, literally.

After 50 years, Titonho, already with the marks of the age in the face, decided to do what he had never tried and that could represent its end: it made the request of marriage of Josefina, personally, in the presence of Demerbal. Demerbal accepted. He even told Titonho later: "I thought it was fearful, but now I realized that it was not."

That done, they got married. Titonho and Josefina lived happily in a house during the month, until a retirement was suspended by the Minister of Social Security. They, without alternatives, went to live in the house of Demerbal. Demerbal declined. He replied, "After all that did passes, is this how you thank me?" By email.

Do not blame Demerbal. He never got along with the technologies.
