Chapter 10
For the sake
We worked a lot on advertising and everything that we needed for the auction and the day had come. I saw many people arrive, some were known in the city. I emptied the glass cabinets and shop windows did put the chairs in the middle of the room. Verter and I were at the counter. I gave him directions. Verter is recommended with Stephanie, who was there for the entire brochure Ele. I felt suspend the buzz and started doing the presentation helped me with some notes I had prepared.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, dear friends, have welcomed with enthusiasm the invitation to come in my beautiful Bologna and I feel overcome by such participation. Among you there are people who will find perhaps rather unusual that the jeweler Silvio Rhodes banning auction. I want to reassure you, I assure you that are not on the verge of bankruptcy. I am the last descendant of a family of jewelers and I had a passion for my work, but more for diamonds.
Over the years I have conquered these precious fragments of eternity that always attracted me from Ulysses as the song of the siren. I was lucky. I thank you all for having intervened, and in particular I thank the surgeon Verter Blacks for the occasion is as an auctioneer. With Verter I made years a strong bond of friendship. To him I owe a big thank you for helping me reason for our meeting and means to make concrete my great desire.
Now I like to think that you have in front of friendly people who will want to share with me this circumstance. The timing is critical for the establishment of the Foundation. As you know the name diamond is derived from the Greek Adams which means invincible and so it feels to own them. Set in jewelry, are gems of light. As time passes and become more beautiful. Still fills me with enthusiasm to tell you about this gem shining like my first time that I had them in my hands.
Because carbon, gives substance to diamonds and is in living beings, I leave to you to decide what capacity carbon prioritize in your scale of values, but now, with this auction for charity, it is equivalent. Soon you will express your offer and at the end of this day we will become better people. I am sure that the interest with which wait for the opening of the auction is the premise of a generous donation.
The rainbow that sometimes graces the sky; there are also the facets of a cut diamond to art as Ele. It is a loner by carat weight of seventeen, with brilliant cut drop and pure colorless. This gem is close to perfection in shape and transparency. And ' colorless for the accuracy and fluorescence is nothing. Illuminated by the warm light of Ele, revives our enthusiasm. He is divine.
And something divine repent in our find, in fact, in this momentary "auction house" in the place where it all began. Exactly, being waiting for this event, I gathered my thoughts. I revisited all gone. It is certainly not my intention to tell you my whole life, but you know how the idea of the Foundation Escape.
For the first and only time I want to put part of the story of my wife Eleana, his father the watchmaker Victor and his nephew Eriberto. This story has become mine and I was changed, and now join us for the charity auction. You'll see how your contribution will be important and what its purpose." I summed up everything and are about to start the auction. I extracted the precious Ele custody and I rose up.
I said: "The cutter has to shape the stone so that the light enters from the top, is reflected in, and get out again from above." This had happened; the light had dug deep in our love and went out with a desire to do something for others.
Ele the spotlight blinded me and I looked away, I placed it at the entrance and here I saw her appear and do not know how at that moment I had a stroke.
Eleana I came near and said:
"It's the best decision you could make."
