Chapter 2: Grandfather's gift
Part 3
Ali decided to go to an antique store to find out the cost of her grandfather's autographed guitar, she went to a store in her locality, from time to time she liked to pass by there out of curiosity, there were stamps, coins from other paisas, old pens, records... The gentleman who owned the store had inherited the place from his parents, it was a family business, he was an eccentric man with a huge beard.

Upon entering the store the girl could not help but sneeze there was a lot of dust in the place, the place was very dirty since the previous employee quit, it was to be imagined that the girl would do that, having to clean such a big place, full of many things must have been a stress. Although she covered her face to avoid breathing in the dust it was inevitable not to breathe it in, it also smelled musty, she definitely wouldn't last long in that place she wouldn't want the mold to get into her lungs. Ali approached the counter where the bearded man was checking some old coins.
-Hello, good afternoon, I would like to know the value of this guitar, it is signed by a Canadian musician Jk Brown Red," said the girl leaving the guitar on the counter.
The man examined the guitar with his instruments observing the details and stopping at the signature to see if it was real.
-The signature of the musician increases the value of the guitar, Jk Brown Red was very famous in the eighties and the guitar remains intact, despite the years. The value of the guitar is in the $2000 range.

Ali tried to suppress her surprise, it was more than she expected, with that money it was enough to pay for her stay while she got a job. The girl took a breath without conveying any emotion because she could not be so soft in front of a merchant could lower the price, she thanked the man, put it in the case and left.
With this guitar I have enough money, wait I can't do that, it's a family treasure, my grandfather gave it to me, of all his grandchildren he decided to give the guitar to me, it would be very cruel to sell it, may he rest in peace I can't do that to him. But I don't have much choice and there is only a week left for the trip.
Ali went to the nearest bakery and sat down on one of the chairs outside, took the guitar out of the case and looked at it. His grandfather loved music, he said it was a family gift, Ali had never been interested in learning to play a musical instrument, however, his grandfather had taught him to play just one song. He took the guitar and began to play it, he did it with ease as if he had a kind of musical memory, maybe it was true what his grandfather said, while he played the beautiful melody some tears escaped from his eyes and spilled on the guitar.

His grandfather's dream was always music, but he was gone, her heart told her that his grandfather would want her to do the same of continuing her own dreams. When she finished the tune, she cleaned the guitar, put it back in the case and headed for the antique store. In life you have to take risks and sometimes make tough decisions. She had to follow her dreams, whatever the cost.

Chapter 2: Grandfather's gift
Part 3
Ali decidió ir a una tienda de antigüedad para averiguar el costo de la guitarra autografiada de su abuelo, fue a una tienda en su localidad, de vez en cuando le gustaba pasar por ahí de curiosidad, había estampillas, monedas de otros paisas, bolígrafos antiguos, discos… El señor que era dueño de la tienda había heredado el lugar de sus padres, era un negocio familiar, era un hombre excéntrico con una enorme barba.

Al entrar en la tienda la chica no pudo evitar estornudar había mucho polvo en el sitio, el lugar estaba muy sucio desde que la anterior empleada renunciara, era de imaginarse que la chica haría eso, tener que limpiar ese lugar tan grande, lleno de muchas cosas debió ser un estrés. Aunque se tapó el rostro para no aspirar el polvo era inevitable no aspirarlo, también olía a humedad, definitivamente no duraría mucho tiempo en ese lugar no querría que el moho le llegara a los pulmones. Ali se acercó al mostrador donde estaba el hombre barbudo revisando unas monedas viejas.
-Hola buenas tardes quisiera saber el valor de esta guitarra, está firmada por un músico Canadiense Jk Brown Red- dijo la muchacha dejando la guitarra en el mostrador.
El hombre examinó la guitarra con sus instrumentos observando los detalles y deteniéndose en la firma a ver si era real.
-La firma del músico hace que su valor aumente el valor de la guitarra, Jk Brown Red fue muy famoso en los años ochenta y la guitarra se mantiene está intacta, a pesar de los años. El valor de la guitarra está entre 2000 dólares.

Ali intentó reprimir su sorpresa, era más de lo que esperaba, con ese dinero era suficiente para pagar su estadía mientras conseguía algún trabajo. La chica tomó un respiro sin transmitir ninguna emoción porque no podía estar tan blanda frente a un comerciante podría bajarle el precio, le dio las gracias al hombre, la guardó en el estuche y se retiró.
Con esta guitarra tengo el dinero suficiente, espera no puedo hacerlo es un tesoro familiar, me la regaló mi abuelo a mí, de todos sus nietos decidió darme la guitarra a mí, sería muy cruel venderlo, que en paz descanse no puedo hacerle eso. Pero no tengo muchas opciones y tan solo queda una semana para el viaje.
Alí fue hasta la panadería más cercana y se sentó en unos de las sillas que estaban afuera, sacó la guitarra del estuche y la observó. Su abuelo amaba la música, él decía que era un don de familia, Alí nunca le había llamado la atención aprender a tocar un instrumento musical, sin embargo, su abuela le había enseñado a tocar una sola canción. Tomó la guitarra y comenzó a tocarla, lo hacía con facilidad como si tuviera una especie de memoria musical, tal vez era cierto lo que su abuelo decía, mientras tocaba la hermosa melodía unas lágrimas escaparon de sus ojos y se derramaron en la guitarra

El sueño de su abuelo fue siempre la música, pero él ya no estaba, su corazón le decía que su abuelo querría que ella hiciera lo mismo de continuar sus propios sueños. Al terminar la melodía, limpió la guitarra, la guardó en el estuche y se dirigió a la tienda de antigüedades. En la vida hay que tomar riesgos y a veces tomar decisiones difíciles. Ella debía seguir sus sueños, cueste lo que cueste.
