Beyond The Looking Glass is the second book in the Unseen series, a story that came to me from the other side. A story where I thought I was just the narrator until I heard the Words of the Unseen.
This second story goes beyond time and place and mixes the long ago with the here and now. Because history keeps repeating, until we learn and do something about it.
Beyond The Looking Glass - Words of the Unseen - Chapter 72
Oops there she was, all of a sudden I had a wife, and a few months later we added a child.
The attic was exchanged for an overpriced upstairs apartment in the lovely Vught.
My faithful bicycle became a moped so that I could continue working in Tilburg.
Through rain and snow, I would show.
In six years I did not miss a single night.
The club was always more than just a job, it was a dream and became a refuge. My evenings away from the responsible life...
How I still remember the return trip from my club on January 1, 2006.
It must have been the first time since the birth of my son that I truly partied.
Not that I partied I worked all night, but damn I was drunk.
I can remember how I had to pee but did not want to stop the moped.
How I drove with one hand while holding my wand with the other and weeing to the side.
Deliah was smart enough to not lock me up straight away, we had an understanding. We could kiss others and fool around a little on our nights in the club, she even arranged a threesome for my birthday.
Although with hindsight I think she did so to get one herself, and I was fine with that but it should not include me.
It´s a dream for most guys, for me it was a lot of work. First of all, the girl she added was a friend. A friend with whom I shared benefits in the past.
She and I, that also is an interesting story. Should I tell it? Well by now you know my style.
But I could be selfless as well.
I mean when this girl asked me to take her virginity I told her that I would not until she convinced me otherwise.
She wanted sex without commitments with a guy she liked and trusted. She wanted the experience to be without any pressure, this way she would feel a lot more confident and prepared to have sex with her future boyfriend.
The way she explained it made perfect sense and it was a very nice experience, but I am drifting again so let me take you back to the main story once again.
I guess the question was; Had married life come too soon?
I don't think I asked myself that holding my thingy driving back at 6 AM that night!
Was that the night that I kissed Mirjam?
It could have been, it was around that time of year.
Sorry, you all must go who the freckle is Miriam, is that the girl that lost her virginity a couple of sentences ago?
No, and sorry for making such a mess of this chapter.
Miriam was the sexy barmaid who once served me my first beer in Club Extase?
In all honesty, I felt like such a noob back then and I looked up to that tough bitch behind the bar.
She was so liked by all the cool guys, not my type but she had that X factor and a great behind. Then many years later I was the celebrated DJ of Tilburg, and one night stars aligned and I finally kissed her.
It sealed my club Extase fate, the circle was complete. The noob became the master and a few months later I would announce my departure.
But not before I drove home emptying my bladder in the morning twilight.
How many guardian angels have I not worn out in my life?
My departure?
Was it unexpected?
No, it was just right, I left when I peaked and that still feels so good.
After I left, the club also went under, although I doubt if I could have made a difference.
If I say departure, I don´t mean the final journey...not yet. But it did change everything.
Deliah's mother had gotten married a few months before us, she and her new stepfather moved to Spain.
Then came the request:
Is it not for you and the baby to house-sit here in southern Spain for 3 months?
I don´t think I was included in the original request, but Deliah asked me and my answer was quick and clear.
No, thank you!
I wanted to go there, but three months to find something and leave 3 jobs behind, that was just a crappy offer.
A better one came quickly:
Move into the apartment they would leave, and enough work at their new house to pay the rent, gas, electricity, and water of the apartment.
That income, plus Deliah's disability allowance would be enough to survive there for at least a year.
I wouldn't get any closer to Nicaragua, but that dream had passed with the excommunication of Claudia anyway. So Spain would be the closest I could get to my beloved America Latina.
And so the journey began, a leap of fate.
In a single trip, I went from everything to nothing, I didn't even speak the language.
Of course, I knew that Grandma did this to have her grandchild nearby but I had always known that one day I would leave the Netherlands.
The fact that I by doing so deprived all other grandpas and grandmas of a chance to get to know their grandchild didn't bother me much.
This was the way and I knew it. The way was clear but not the impact on my surroundings.
The way was led by a red Mazda hustled up by Deliahs dad.
Less than five months later we drove into the white village of Valor in the Southern Spanish Alpujarra.
I came with nothing.
Well, almost nothing, a red Mazda 626, a wife, a child that would be a year old soon, and 2800 euros.
Actually, that is quite a bit and a lot of responsibility.
