May 2003

Keren you kindly announced over the intercom, so obsequious, asking Delilah to get off. The woman looked in the mirror for the umpteenth time, settled the trick and gave a splash of perfume.
He wanted everything to be perfect ... indeed, no doubt it would be.
She went home with a sparkling smile on his lips and breathed the fresh air.
"Good evening, Delilah." Welcomed the him, grabbing his arm. "You're beautiful." He opened the door, like a true knight, and made her sit the passenger seat.
Delilah was excited. And despite the unfortunate events of recent months, for the first time he felt serene. Almost happy.
With Keren, had planned the party for the son's first platinum album for at least a month.
had to be something memorable, something that would return the smile on the lips of Alon.
As scary as he was giving his son the past few months! It was not at all well: he had fallen into a sort of nervous breakdown and for a while 'time was not even able to get out of bed. It seemed that no interest to him nothing but cry.
The doctors had accused the lifestyle too hectic, stress, lack privacy and fragile emotional core that had flared.
was as if, by dint of bending over backwards for others, for not being able to never say 'no' at some point the parts were no longer able to heal.
still remembered the day when Leah took her by the patient, but at the same time the precision with which he used for his patients, he had sat up and said (still remember the exact words, so we was upset): "Stop charging for everything. We also Amos and I when you need it. "As was upset! He almost wanted to scream in the face of his daughter. After all, she then
not much to his son ... is true, since Rachel had found a new companion - now four years ago - Delilah had gradually ceased to ask for it because it seemed right that her friend could enjoy his happiness.
And then his son was close and had endless possibilities in more and he was young ... what harm could it do if you ask him?
Only small things called, after all: to help complete all the paperwork, to choose a good accountant, to give some lift in when needed.
was not much.
And then he was always so kind and helpful, there was never a time when he refused to do her a favor.
is true, sometimes I had saw a little 'too tired, but at his age he recovers quickly.
Actually the second fault she was not to be charged to you or to Alon, the blame was to Ofer.
For some 'time in their relationship there was something terribly unbalanced. How long have not seen his son? At least six months.
As before the two young men were living in symbiosis, was now quite rare to see them together. Ofer was no longer to attend the concert Alon, sometimes not even give him a call when he was abroad. Leah had confided that the two were fighting more or less daily and more than once he had collected the bitter outpourings of his brother.
she never spoke with Alon of these issues, out of pride and revive them for fear of bad memories. His
yeled was just too nice.

The festival was held at the Dolphinarium, between the beach and pier. The mild weather that October to make the air comfortable. Delilah
surprised his two children to talk in the crowd, hugged and kissed Leah Alon cheeks.
"We were late because there was a bit 'of traffic." Apologized. "Love Mom, you're fine." He said, pleased with how well the same dress that she herself had made. Alon
half-smiled, looking more lost than usual: the antidepressants expression gave him a bit 'numb.
"Ofer is not there?"
"may come later." He said, looking at the tip of your shoes and leaning to his sister. "Maybe ... perhaps you'd better go and entertain guests. "he announced in a low voice.
"Even Keren you were looking for." Reminded him. "And those shoulders halyard!" Admonished him, seeing him walk away with a little 'dangling. "But ... is a bit 'better, no? "turned to Leah.
"Mom, I could ask you the courtesy of being a little 'less inappropriate? Alon has not yet in forma.”
“Avrò pure il diritto si sapere.” puntualizzò lei. La giovane sospirò.
“Chiedi a me, allora. Cerchiamo di dargli un minimo di serenità, ok?” la redarguì.

Il party stava riuscendo bene, in fondo. C’era tantissima gente e soprattutto c’erano gli amici più cari di Alon.
Delilah era soddisfatta per quell’opera ben realizzata.
Aveva visto suo figlio sorridere nuovamente mentre parlava con Elyal o con Galya e questo le aveva riempito il cuore di gioia.
“Siamo stati proprio bravi.” rise, appoggiandosi a Keren. Lo spumante le stava dando un po’ alla testa, non era abituata a bere alcol.
Tutto was pleasantly hazy. At one point he noticed
Ofer pass and turned to greet him, with the intention of pointing out the impropriety of being arrived hours late and that, in short, for such an occasion could have brought along with Alon, when he noticed who was busy talking with another young man she did not know.
Forget it, basically it would be rude to him if he had not come to greet him.
" Gveret " Elyal called his attention, the best friend of her son "thought it was cute to make a collective toast to Alon. Keren and you come with me into the microphone. "She smiled, guiding them through the crowd.
Ofer Alon surprises and close to the microphone, they were talking animatedly.
"Maybe it's better to wait a moment." Keren suggested, holding a bit 'at a distance. The music covered the words.
all happened quickly: Ofer took his companion to his neck and kissed him on the lips. He whispered something in her ear the other and walked away. Delilah
naively thought that the situation between the two had been flattened. Elyal advanced, noting first approached his friend and a tear escaped the control.
"He told me not coming home tonight." Choked him. "I knew it would happen, but I did not think I did that bad."
"That bastard has left you? The day of your party? "Delilah yelled and only the patient was able to hold her close to Keren from crying.
"We have not left you, Mom. It is a few months ago we decided not to make our exclusive report. "He mumbled.
"What?" She protested.
"Forget it. You can not understand. "He muttered, turning his back. Delilah yanked him by the wrist.
"And you tell me. I do not think I refused to understand. "Admonished him, hysterical.
"He who goes to bed and I want as well. Nothing more to say. "Sentenced him away, freed from the wall in a move rude, taking Elyal under his arm and walked away. Keren
Delilah looked with dismay and disappointment.
"And that report would be?" He asked. In response, he shrugged. Ultimately he could know that?

"I'm visiting Yoseph." Delilah firm announced in the middle of a quiet dinner at the home of Leah in Jerusalem, taking advantage of children, on holiday with her paternal grandparents.
The daughter and son looked at her in disbelief.
"It will not be a journey too strenuous, gveret ?" Asked Amos caring.
"No, absolutely not. And in a few years it will be even more and I will not miss the chance to see the United States. "he said, excited. "And I want to see where and who lives with my son."
Leah sighed, he knew that most of the enthusiasm for the visit to an unknown land, the strongest motivations that had prompted his mother to make that trip were of a different nature: they can intervene in the lives of twin e. .. check once the youngest child.
"And if I know, how come you've decided just now?" Leah asked gently. "Yoseph has invited several times to go." He wanted to force her to politely tell the truth.
"Well, it Obviously I could not face such a trip alone, at my age and going on an airplane for the first time. What's wrong with taking advantage of the tour of my child? "Amos looked Leah ironically, suppressing a smile.
"At least you asked him what he thought before you decide?" He inquired, Leah.
"Sure. I assured him that I did not get in the way whatsoever. Even if he does not think, of course. "In reality the issue was not discussed so peaceful. Alon was not happy to follow him and that his mother had made her promise that it would stay a week in New York by his brother, without hindering the work of him. For the first
Once in a lifetime Alon had used against her the word 'overwhelming'.
"In any case, if Alon should need me, I'll be ready to give him a hand, as usual." She said.
"Mom, does not it seem a little excessive?" The note said Leah. "Alon is not a boy And if he decided to leave, it means that you feel the forces sufficient to do so."
"It behaves more like a child. And you know what I mean. "She asserted, placing the cutlery on the table with some shadow. Delilah would not accept the private behavior of his son. He accepted that he liked men because they had no other choice and because he had to admit, the saw happy. But that life
saddened and unbalanced outside the laws of man and Heaven was not willing to accept it.
"We can not always accept the conduct of all." Debuted Amos, preparing for one of his calm discourse ethics as they could - out of boredom or for persuasion - to appease hearts. "But as long as we talk about private behavior, we can not intervene as long as they do not go to undermine the peace and the rule ..."
Leah was very grateful to her husband for that intervention that allowed her to easily switch to other topics .

"Mom!" Yoseph the received warmly in his arms.
were It's been five years since they had seen. Yoseph was almost unrecognizable: he had become a distinct and forty glasses gave him an intellectual aspect.
"I'm so glad you came." He said, escorted out of the car. "I guess you're tired." His voice was too sweet, as to be almost true.
Yoseph lived in a dark stone building on two floors.
"Finally I can see my house!" He exclaimed enthusiastically. "This is one of the richest neighborhoods in New York. It is very fortunate to live here. "He took her suitcase and bag, then opened the door.
"We have to climb three floors better take the elevator. "he informed. "You'll see, you'll be fine. New York is great, but you get used soon. It only seems very busy. "
" Although it is Tel Aviv. "
" Yeah, sure. "Contented with the patient, while introduced in the house.
"Good morning, Mrs. Gros." Greeted the young woman, barely in his thirties, the freckled skin and long red hair. Delilah looked at her from head to foot, as he was dressed up to be a maid.
"This is my girlfriend, Amanda." Presented the young man, who now seemed just a little girl.
froze.
"Amanda is a writer." He explained, passing in front of and surrounding the arm. "Now we've been together for over three years."
"I do not ever talked." Delilah said, shocked.
"I'd rather that you knew her personally." He smiled. "Otherwise you would be worried unnecessarily. Now come, we'll show you your room, Mom. "Amanda disengaged himself from the companion to go trolling through the other side of the house. Her skimpy purple dress was almost dizzying to be a poor mother.
"There was no need to prepare a room so beautiful. In the end I'll be here for only one week. " pronounced and deliberately rude annoyed when her son showed her the empty closet.
"Oh, do not let you stay with us so little, mother, for once I come to find." Pronunciation spelling Yoseph. "In New York there are so many things to see. And then I deserve a bit 'of attention, too? "He joked.
"But I have to work." Mildly protested.
"I think that your partner can easily get away by myself for a while. It will be sympathetic to a mother who goes to see his son. Been ages since we've seen. "Attempted to convince him.
"We'll see." Piccata said.
"Madam, We can offer you a drink? "said Amanda, with a chirpy voice.
"Of course, Amanda." She said to her son. "You prepare for all of you and bring it into the living room?"
"Certainly, my love." She sang out, going out with waddling gait.
"How old deine Froy ?" Inquired a voice too low Delilah. She does not care if Amanda could hear.
"I knew you would ask me." Yoseph laughed, not at all surprised. "Twenty-nine."
"But it could be your daughter!" Said shocked.
"I'm not exaggerating," he defended himself. "E then what does it matter? The important thing is that we love. "

That evening Yoseph had organized a lil ' welcome party, as he had defined, to celebrate his brother's concert in New York that he himself had organized. In fact, an employee of a theater in the suburbs that was back when he was landed in the Big Apple to study, now the eldest became a real event organizer.
Yoseph was surprised that his mother had understood the first thing was his job.
"See, I am a woman of the world than you realize." She laughed.
Yoseph had invited the party was 'only' a hundred people.
"I preferred something unique. "he explained to his brother. "Now let me introduce some special person among them." She whispered. "And first of all Amanda, both of which I spoke." She smiled, introducing a mate.
"And he took it as a mother?" She whispered once they were removed.
"Mamma is mamma. If the speck does yddish is not happy. "Joked Yoseph.
"I do not talk." Alon said, running a hand over his eyes.
"But you're his katan yeled " I teased, noting that the younger brother had passed a good ten inches. "You grew again last time I saw you?"
"But what do you want to grow! At best, they are thinner, despite eating like a pack of hungry wolves. "Ascertained.
"Obviously my brother is being done." Yoseph shouted.
"Maybe." Alon sighed, thinking that inevitably between the two in the open relationship Ofer what was certainly not wasted time.
"By the way, I wanted to introduce two special people." He said, making him a wink. Alon sighed, we were missing only that his brother was put into his head to combine meetings.
"I would remind you that my English is limited my name is in and little more. "reminded him.
But there was someone in his family not willing to interfere in your private life?
introduced him to a tall and lanky, dressed in garish clothes and another, slightly older, dressed in an anonymous way.
The only thing I was impressed with Alon was too rosy skin and hair clear of the unknown.
"I wanted to introduce you to two very dear friends, Luke Tyler, one of the most original choreographers you can find in New York, and Stephen Halley, promising civil lawyer, in case you ever need it." Yoseph laughed.
"And do not present your wonderful mother to your friends?" intervened in Hebrew Delilah, who had watched the whole scene behind them, smiling. Alon
Yoseph and exchanged a look somewhere between amused and disheartened and Alon shrugged. At the end

Delilah returned to Israel a week after his son, contrary to what had originally planned.
He was surprised that at the Ben Gurion had come to take her children with Amos. Roni Aliza and ran to meet her jubilant.
"Has something happened?" She asked suspiciously. "Why not come to take my son? There has been trouble from Jerusalem. "
" The children were eager to see their grandmother. "Amos is justified, taking them suitcases, but failed to persuade all of the mother-in-law.
"Leah and Alon are waiting for lunch, anyway." Delilah wanted to continue his investigation, but the children beset with a thousand questions and a thousand stories, forcibly caught his attention.
"But where are we going?" Asked not acknowledging that they were walking the streets on the northern outskirts of Tel Aviv. Coasting for a short distance to the Hayarkon that winter seemed like a real river.
They stopped in the parking lot of a large skyscraper.
Delilah still did not understand. Amos
typed on the control panel a combination of numbers and letters that open the door, where a guard Army stopped them to check the usual ritual.
"We are guests of adon Gross." She whispered to the doorman, who made them enter the hall of the lifts.
"Now I demand an explanation, Amos." Premiered her, sounding annoyed.
"still has the patience to wait five minutes and those responsible will explain everything." He stopped at the penultimate floor and Amos came first. Leah and Alon were waiting on the landing. The daughter was wearing a T-shirt and dusty pants for men, also in poor condition, but the expression was that happy ever.
"Welcome home Mom!" The received, kissing her on both cheeks.
Alon was dressed in a tracksuit not really neat, the expression of those who have lost several hours of sleep or you are recovering from a serious illness.
between her legs trotted Eliador scared, the little puppy that Alon had taken a few months earlier.
"Come, do not remain on the landing." Invited them, escaping the embrace of the mother. The children ran behind the dog.
The apartment still smelled of fresh plaster and new. The walls were bare except for a portrait of Ofer Alon who had designed many years ago.
"It went well, the trip, Mom?" Asked Leah. Delilah did not stopped and listened to his son by the wrist.
"Well?" He asked.
"I moved here. Ofer I left when I returned. "She whispered.
"But .." Delilah thought that maybe it was better not to talk for hours and he just tighten your child in an embrace. She felt him shake
, as someone who is crying, but she felt the moisture of tears.
"It will be tough." Plucked up his courage. "But you did the right thing." She whispered.
was the only thing he had learned: Love is not love if he asks for a price too great.

Title The life I never imagined
Prompt is love and love is hard though, But Love is not what are you thinking of @ 5_nowhereland


June 1999

Rachel and Delilah decided to take advantage of the beautiful Saturday in early June, which remained strangely still fresh, go for a walk along the banks Ha -Yarkon.
"It's amazing how this neighborhood is turning quickly. If I came here years ago, as I did, you'd find sand and despair ... and now look, they're turning into one of the most beautiful city. "
" That's how I imagine New York, you know? From the stories of my son, at least. "Rachel smiled softly and took her friend by the arm. Delilah did he avoid contact with most of the people had become more open, more confident.
that occasion he had returned a 'second youth' as she put it, or as a joke at a time when Rachel's friend - increasingly rararamente - felt discouraged. "But think about who has the chance to even live three lives in just one?". The Nordic
could only give reason. Sometimes it was hard to recognize in the mirror. He smiled often, was initially tried to accommodate customers, but eventually discovered that smile was more gratifying than to sulk.
Delilah sing again, his voice hoarse with age, but still singing happy tunes.
had nice clothes, now, put a little 'make-up to go out and get to work. Not infrequently some of the elderly gentleman kindly pointed out what was radiant.
The weakness in the heart, which he brought with him many years, it seemed gone.
"You know, I could not sleep tonight, then I did a sketch for that dress wedding that we have ordered. I occurred to a very modern, with ethnic applications, then you'll see. "
" More than you! I'm just curious. "Delilah consented. "I was thinking of designing something special for the birth of my granddaughter."
"Of course! Leah should end time soon, right? "Delilah replied in the affirmative with a nod.
"I guess then you'll want to be a bit 'of your daughter to help her."
"My Leah is very proud. Dislikes that others intrude into his life. "
" I look like. You are tough people. "Remarked the American. As they venture further
in the park ran into a group of students from nearby universities who were studying in a cool, listening to music from a stereo and tasting citrus in the aroma wafted in the air for a good haul.
" Opening the heart to the sky, there's nothing wrong ... do not hide, free your mind "rustled the radio. Delilah
blushed. The was still strange to hear the recorded voice of his son. Rachel took a slap to.
"How sweet you are." He whispered.
"We can not expect someone to be proud of me most of the successes of my child!" He joked. He was a role, that of mother-supporter, which was at ease: somehow managed to regain its influence over a child and it made her happy. Rachel
often teased for what she called 'Jewish matriarchal authority'. Each time the topic came in the protests were unnecessary Delilah. "You never had children, what do you know?" When the other began one of his ironic symposia on certain models of excessive force almost maternal.
Delilah was delighted by hearing the sweet flow of words and read by Rachel, he felt that his was an educated person and he had studied. Sometimes
still trying to absorb that language, but the strong accent and a natural propensity for bluntness prevented her from imitating the prose workplaces.

Leah's apartment had been a sort of invasion of her family that Friday afternoon after the birth of second daughter, Aliza.
Mother and daughter had returned home only three days and had failed to escape the visit of the whole family.
Delilah was almost a bit 'offended because the family's son had gone to first find the mother, despite her and Alon had gone to the hospital the night of the birth.
"But my beautiful niece" said Delilah again, taking in the small arm. "Beautiful, beautiful! My princess! "
" I I am a prince, though! "Roni protested, taking the cotton dress to the hem of her grandmother.
"Let peace in your grandmother up, you big baby." Admonished him Rachel.
"Of course you're a prince." Caressed Alon. "Like all the principles you the rider in front of your sister Aliza."
"But who cares!" Protested the child. "So she did not even consider me. No one considers me. And my mother did not love me any more. I throw away in a basket like Moses. "
" Come, do not be silly. "Rachel hit the baby's head slightly. "What you do not feel your poor mother, imagine the sorrow that you give. "
" Rachel, do not scare. "Ofer whispered, holding the child by the arm. "These women do not understand us." Roni looked at him.
Leah sat in the chair, the sweltering heat did not help her recover from childbirth. And yet she smiled happy that heat.
Amos did not miss the attention, he had traded shifts at work to stay home the night with her.
He was happy for the birth, finally, a little girl.
His mother and Rachel, then, we were keen to get her the necessary care of the child. Even his brothers had not forgotten her: Yoseph had telephoned her, saying that the had sent gifts, information on the condition of the newborn and those of his brother, promising to call her soon.
corner of the room next to her towered a bouquet of red roses, that Alon had delivered the hospital, making it almost feel ashamed for what clearly excessive pomp.
"I need to do some 'expense." Leah whispered.
"Can we go and I Ofer." Rachel is proposed. "So we leave you time for a small family reunion."
"Mom, can I go with Ofer uncle and Aunt Rachel?" Leah smiled good-naturedly, looking Alon.
"Only if you do not mind at Ofer, Roni." Ruled Delilah. Ofer looked at his companion, half frightened, half amused.
"You're monopolizing the niece, Mom!" Joked Alon, once the merry party had left for the mission cost.
Leah laughed.
"Mom, you look younger than twenty years. You're so sweet with Aliza in her arms. "Said the young woman.
"Why do not you let Ofer you face one of his portraits? He would definitely happy. "Alon suggested. Delilah laughed.
"I'm not so fine as to be photographed." But the idea had the pleasure, however. "I hope to keep this wax, and this fighting spirit even when I may face your father for the divorce. "
" It is in ten days, right? "asked Leah. "I'll try to do everything possible to come."
"You're quiet and rest, sister. Can I accompany my mother. "

Delilah strictly forbade his daughter to come to Tel Aviv for the divorce, he wanted to spare her the trip in the summer heat and especially having to painstakingly divide between her and Shmueli.
Delilah's lawyer, a combative Gerosolomitano, his high school classmate of Amos, tried to reassure her.
And then he could count on a large group of 'supporters': his son with his partner, Rachel, which had closed for the occasion the shop, even Adi, who had fallen the night before from Bar Am
As she felt the old friend, now!
And how far it seemed that world closed in the green hills of Galilee.
"The world where we grew up is crumbling before our eyes." Adi told her that night. So
had told her the changes that had taken place even in their village, the introduction of private property phasing out of almost all activities. With a sleepy late, the world had entered politics as an infiltration of water into the walls completely demolishing the Zionist-socialist utopia. Oddly
had not proved nostalgia at the thought that all he had supported for years was gone forever.
"The city life is not bad." He said. "You know, we often go to the theater with Rachel. And we long walks to see the shops. "
He experienced how difficult it was included in the word of his new life.
"But you do not feel alone," asked her friend.
"Not much. I have some trusted friend, just enough to not be alone. And then I have my children, whatever their needs are. "He explained, but read incomprehension in the face of Adi. How much distance separated them now.
But in the end had somehow reconciled, Gripping that night.
And now her friend was beside her, trying to inspire courage.
Shmueli not approached her, not even look at her and she was grateful. He needed to feel distant to avoid being attack again by doubts and regrets. The
notice the hurt look of resentment that rushed Shmueli and Alon, as if they were father and son, but two longtime enemies.
lived the moments before the judge suspended as a cloud, unable to realize what is happening around them. It was only when the lawyer pressed her hand gently and was struck by the warmth of his family that he understood to be free.
truly free, perhaps for the first time in his life.
looking around, almost unconsciously, the ex-husband, but it must have already left the classroom.

Exactly one week after the divorce, he received a phone call from Delilah Shmueli.
What were those first seven days and flew as she felt good and strong!
Rachel had noticed how many times he had to sing while working or surprise as it had been courteous to customers.
The two women were also given a night off for a while 'shopping and a dinner out to celebrate.
Delilah had bought a coral lipstick and a sophisticated fragrance, to be combined with a nice black dress that was sewn specially to go to a concert of his child.
was a practice adopted willingly when commitments allowed him, accompanied him.
In some ways it was a bit 'as if he were returned to small, needed her to have courage and show himself in public and what was more gratifying than to be useful to his son? Leah
sometimes the teasing, reminding her that she had two more children for a few hours and she felt a little 'guilty, but then, when reflected in a clear mind, he knew perfectly well that the good-natured scolding his eldest daughter were only small pinpricks because she forbade her to take care of their grandchildren more than once a week.
When the phone rang, answered, joyfully, convinced that it was Leah. His voice made her jump.
"In the end you got what you wanted." Apostrophe Shmueli, with more fatigue than with anger. "Are you satisfied?"
"Yes," she proclaimed, feeling strong, enjoying a certain freedom. What fun he had! And what was the heady feeling of your own life.
"Now you can finally tell the truth. Is there another? "
" No. There was never another. "
" Liar. "
" It's the truth. I do not need another man, bemet "
" You do not know how to live alone. Froy, you're weak. "Laughed cynically, as if laughter were the last bastion of defense he had left. "I love to have other people's eyes on him, right? I saw you on TV the other day. "
" Our child needs support. "He said, hiding a spontaneous movement of pride.
" Dein Sohn is not able to move a step without his mother-monster?"
"It is also your son."
"No, I have created a reverse. I would have to play louder as a boy, so maybe he would straighten. "
Delilah did not want to embark in yet discussion with Shmueli. In meetings before the hearings each time reproached the conduct of his son, as if it was his fault. Shmueli and Alon was well were not in the same room otherwise, did not doubt, would surely come to blows, and it was a scene that she could not bear.
"Love is love." Uttered.
"What do you know about love, Froy ? The only one I'd have thrown to the wind. "
" Do not call lieben the terrible thing I've done live. Amos and Leah are in love, and Ofer Alon ... "
" Do not try to name that other fag! If I could, shoot a bullet in the forehead. "proclaimed a low voice.
"Our granddaughter is beautiful." Interrupted him.
"Yes, it is. It's a shame he can not see his grandparents together. "
" It is fortunate that we do not see him fight and get us the dishes. "She said.
"Well, I guess this is a farewell call."
"I hope so." He hung up the phone and felt like fainting, my heart went crazy in the chest. Yet now he was strong, felt strong ...
on the couch and slid off the couch to the floor with a thud.
Rachel, frightened by the noise, ran and lifted.
"Is everything okay? Do you want me to call the doctor? "He whispered, stroking her hair.
"Hug." Churches. Only the arms welcoming the friend managed to burst into tears in torrents, with hysterical cries of which would soon regret.

"Do you mind if tonight is a friend to sleep here?" Rachel asked for a late afternoon, and helped her prepare.
"No, not at all. I'll be back very late. "She smiled. "Alon's concert starts at half past ten."
"Thanks." For the first time the friend Delilah noticed embarrassment on her face. "You know, I met a special person." Delilah
instinctively smiled and drove in his heart a bit of envy or jealousy perhaps.
"I'm happy for you." He said, stroking his cheek workplaces.
"It's nice to have a new bit 'of the company after so long." Rachel muttered. "I am convinced that sooner or later be able to find someone too."
"in my life I do not think there is room for another man. Sometimes it is already so full that I can not seem to have more time for me. "
" Well, now you also have a second job as office manager. "He laughed.
"What if it ends in a little while to get ready 'will later. And I would avoid giving a pretext for my son to get excited. "
" It seems to me that Alon was born excited. "Delilah laughed.
"You're right."

Delilah reached the meeting place as the only taxi in modernity that no one had managed to convince her it was taking driver's license.
passed opposite the main entrance of the room, already crowded.
smiled, as if she was the protagonist of the event.
It did leave at the entrance of the artists on the back. The security man, the gun right to view his belt, he would not pass it.
"Go call Alon Gross, then." Soon we missed the guard was laughing in the face.
"If I had to pass all the people telling me so, Gveret , we would row on this side of the room at that." He explained, as is done to children or madmen.
"Then call or adon Witz adon Cohen. And do not make me nervous. "Proclaimed, trying to sound stern.
"Excuse me, but if you are a journalist because it has a card?" Inquired the guardian of order. Was never a quiet old lady who turns out to be a terrorist. You never know what to expect at this time.
"I never said to be a journalist!" was furious, almost on the verge of saying a word. He took the discomfort, that man really did not want to pass it?
Another worker came out from the door of the room and said a few words softly to the man armed.
"Gveret, what's the problem?" He asked, with a persuasive voice to Delilah.
"The problem is that you do not want me to go and I'm running late! My son will not be at all happy when I refer, "he yelled. This could be a good card to play. "It is indecent to treat me this way!" Screamed louder.
"Imma ?" Flashed the familiar voice from the hallway and reassuring of his son. Delilah smiled, anticipating the rematch.
"Adon Gross, there's this woman who is causing us some problems." Said the man arrived for a second, even more mellifluous voice and shy. "But now we solve at once."
"The gveret there is giving any problem." Uttered in a voice resentful. "It is my mother has my permission to be here. And there I had explicitly said. "Alon went out of the shadows, surpassing a stride with the two men embracing and Delilah with sudden start.
His son seemed for a moment a figure out of a school book of the sixties, his shirt open white on the chest and that, severely.
"All right, Imma ? Come, let's go. "He took her arm. "I was worried that you were delaying it so much." He pushed her into the hallway, then turned to the two.
"What a thing does not happen again. I sincerely hope that you have not been disrespectful. "Then he again took his arm.
"I'm scared." Confessed, he stroked her hair.
"I am very sorry. If I had not had an interview just before you'd come for. Next time we'll make sure you come with me. "Decided.
"It would be better, thanks." she pointed out, advancing down the hallway. Politely greeted the staff and particularly managers, Keren Cohen, who had taken a liking to.
Keren was then nearly sixty-five, was now about to retire, but he was fond of 'chance' of that young boy too shy to be on stage.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, gveret Gross, are mortified." He said. "And yes we had warned them of your arrival."
"Do not worry, adon Cohen." Delilah blinked.
"Good evening, Delilah. Care for something? "Ofer asked, exiting a room with a sandwich hand and a glass of juice.
"No, thanks. I was wondering where you were kicked out. "He joked. Ofer Alon reached for the sandwich, then sliding a close and stroking her cheek.
"Then after the concert we go to eat something." He whispered, kissing him on the temple.
"But it will not hurt to eat a little before the concert?" Took care Delilah.
"No. If not, then I can not, you know that I have a fast metabolism. "He explained, smiling. "How many minutes are missing," he asked.
"About ten." Keren told him.
"Then you come with me." Ofer whispered, taking a wrist and secure it with Alone in the dressing room.
Delilah smiled, it was already accustomed to their outpourings and not put more embarrassed. In most know that Alon had someone you can count on, even when she did not there would be more reassured.
Of all his children, Alon had always been more in need of pampering and attention. The twins, however, had taken over his father's character and eschews schmaltz.
After ten minutes, Keren knocked on the door of the dressing room. The two young men went out, holding hands. Ofer Alon kissed her, then her mother and disappeared into the stage.
Delilah felt a pang.

Alon After the military did not attend college, but began to work on time full.
Delilah, whose standard of living was greatly improved, sometimes inviting him out to eat on the boardwalk or the old port. It was amazing
whenever the voracity with which the child ate the food.
"But you eat at home? Are you sure you do not need money? "He politely shook his head.
"No, Mom, I'm fine." Delilah is vented with him of her fears for her husband for divorce that he should have asked a little later. And how that perspective would have been difficult and at the same time to lift the rock that was suffocating.
not worry too much diAdonai the proceedings, which after all has to to love his people, was more concerned about the possible reaction of Shmueli, so that she could be violent, helping them to forget, but it could also be compassionate. Of pity that he had felt fear, he did not want a small bud of tenderness for this man to grow again in his chest.
"Why do not you ever invite me to your house?" Asked for the umpteenth time. "I understand that you and your friend will be busy, but I have also the right to see where my son lives."
"House is very small There's nothing to see. I do not think you would be so pleased. "He repeated for the umpteenth time.
"It 's obvious that I'm glad! Eventually I'll have to introduce me rudely to raid. "I threatened her.
"Well ... I would be fine on Tuesday?" he mediated.
"Perfect!" Exclaimed enthusiastically, by turning the couple who sat beside them. "In fact, if there is anything I can do .. do not ever want to help you in anything."
"You could cook something?" So he asked, lowering her eyes.
"Willingly. How many did you say that you are at home? "He asked again.
"Two, Mom, just two. I and Ofer. "He stammered, becoming all red." He has a few years older than me, we made the military together. "He let out, as he stood up awkwardly, his chair screeching.
"Then I will prepare something good. You have no idea what I have made happy. "Alon embraced her close to say goodbye and she got up and kissed him on the lips, stroking her hair.
"If you need, do not hesitate to tell me."

One Monday afternoon, Rachel and Delilah had a new visit to the store.
entered, in fact, a gentleman in a suit and tie and a beautiful woman in her thirties. This looked at the inside of the store with a sufficient degree, then went directly to the two women. A
Delilah, who especially loved watching the entertainment in the evening, it took little to recognize the young presenter of Channel Ten, Galya Anja.
"Good evening, ma'am. How can I help, "asked Rachel mellifluous voice.
"I need a dress for a special evening. Something that is perfectly fine to me and that is also very special. "The man behind her nodded." In the shop I found nothing that was not trivial or awkward, if I had time I would go to Paris .. but I have only ten days is too little. "
" Fine, gveret . The we can see our models, if you devote just a little 'patience, and from there we can apply some variants to make her head even more unique. "Promptly replied the lady." Delilah, please take the collection of our models? "
"Now." Answered the woman, whose fingers trembled a little.
"So is she Delilah Gross." He spoke in a voice squillande Galya, mischievous smile, beautiful eyelashes flapping. "I was curious to know her, her son has told me so much about her."

Delilah hesitantly entered the small stable shabby. Delilah thought that maybe it was becoming too serious.
He climbed the stairs to the narrow and dimly lit third floor and rang the door half-broken. The plate of the bell reads:


Ofer Alon Gross Witz

"Mom!" The Alon received, he wore tight pants and a shirt yellow.
"I'm sorry, I did not even have time to change me, you're ahead. I prepared the sweet honey that you taught me to do you, do you remember what you like so much? "She hugged him, slamming his legs between the bags full of food. Alon took the envelope and brought it home.
"Ofer will come in a moment, you take a shower." Delilah smiled and his son had never seemed so good. "Come." Passed by the narrow corridor to a kitchen-living room furnished with the sixties, covered with stickers and photos, magnets and trinkets, but otherwise clean and tidy.
'E' .. he's cute. "He felt compelled to tell Delilah leaning on the Formica table the bags and pulling out different containers.
"You could say so at the Rachel ... is so nice." Alon smiled, rubbing his hands on his legs.
"It was busy tonight." Delilah Memphis, surprised by that observation.
"Good evening." Ofer appeared at the door.
He was a handsome tall and muscular, dark blond hair and large dark green eyes.
The skin of the face and neck, which shines through the open shirt, gently tanned. He
aggressive expression, accentuated by bushy eyebrows and mustache and a defiant posture.
In some ways the opposite of insecurity and the apparent physical frailty of Alon.

"Hello, nice Delilah!" Presents himself to the young man giving a kiss on both cheeks bristling. "I have brought a bit 'of little things to eat, so tomorrow you will not need to cook." Ofer looked at her with mock impatience and sat at the table.
"Well, I do not see the rest of the house?" Alon took her hand and crossed the hall again shabby. The boy turned on the light in another room, smaller than the first with a double bed, a closet covered with posters and photographs, some shelf with books and tapes and a battered desk. In the only free corner lay beside a tripod, a bag for photo gear, a guitar and violin Alon.
"It 's beautiful your bedroom. Look at all the posters ... and how neat! I did not know you liked to take pictures .. "she said enthusiastically.
"That is the stuff of Ofer. This is our room. We sleep together he and I, Mom. "He explained, unable to look at her face.
"But you could tell me! I can help you to buy another bed, boys! "He suggested, without understanding. Alon deep breath and kissed her on the mouth.
"Mommy, Ofer is my boy." The dry announced, shaking and trying to sound reassuring at the same time.
Delilah looked puzzled, incredulous and perhaps frightened.
"I like men, mom. And I'm happy with him. "He whispered, hugging her." Happy as they have ever been in my life. "
Delilah was somehow dragged by the sweetness of him, had not seen him so bright he was a child.
And after she has experienced several times the negation of all love, how can criticize that shape?
In those fields as your child did the same fate that has befallen his parents ..
A vise squeezed her stomach and a tear escaped from his eyes.
"Do not cry Mom, there's nothing to cry." He embraced her again, misinterpreted the pain of her. "Ani Ohev Otac ."
"I love you, my child. A lot. "Alon took her hand and led her back into the kitchen, where Ofer waiting for them against the wall. Alon kissed her on the head before taking his friend by the hand, holding the palm of Ofer in his, as if to protect him.
Delilah felt tenderness for those two young adults and saw his own eyes during the war. Shortness of breath.
"My Children" muttered in a choked voice, "We have dinner or will be too late."
Delilah helped them set the table with old-fashioned dishes and occasionally looked at them with curiosity. Despite the embarrassment palpable, they were so close and tender.
"I have brought hummus, salads and roast meat." He said, opening the plastic containers.
"You cooked stuff for a week, Gveret " said Ofer, with a sly smile.
"I hope you enjoy it." She smiled. "Maybe now my son will allow me to cook for both of you more often."
"Thank you, Imma ." Alon smiled, looking at the tip of your shoes.
"Alon told me that you met during military service." He began the woman, and had dinner.
"I was his superior." He said Ofer, watching her boyfriend with a provocative air. "So do not worry, I'm used to take care of him." Seriously, Alon giving a kiss on the cheek. "I am almost three years we are together."
"Why did not you ever say, "asked Delilah to her son. That is why the wall, from time to reserve. He was so afraid her baby deserved a lie?
"You .. you've never asked if I was her boyfriend. And I was afraid to tell you. I was ashamed. I was afraid of losing you, Mom. "He explained the truth, taking her hand." Do not tell Dad, please. "Please. Delilah
closed his eyes, he dared not think how he would react Shmueli. He would have beaten up. He would have beaten both her and him.
He wanted to ask them many things, but she was afraid of and responses to sound too harsh or too Incandenza with the two boys.
"You do that by trade, Ofer?" A question that seemed neutral enough.
"I am a visual artist. I make pictures and then took out pictures or graphics. "Enlighten, spelling out the plan and accompanying explanation with large hand gestures.
"Soon will be an exhibition center for contemporary art." Alon announced, leaked all the pride he felt, his eyes became more large. Delilah felt jealous and happy together. "Ofer, why do not you see my mom works you've done for me," asked a voice in adoration. That "mom" so intimate filled her with joy. Ofer
shook his head and shoulders as if to say "whatever."
Alon went to get a folder labeled "Projects" in a neat handwriting and drew a pair of black and white plates.
One was particularly beautiful, depicted in terms of chiaroscuro child asleep in a sort of sweet sleep and happy. The design was something intimate and delicate.
"That vain Alon would like to see the cover of her first album." Joked Ofer.
"If ever one I will." Replied the other, arching his back and getting all red.
"Stupid." Ofer warned him, looking at him askance. "Gveret, but your son has already announced that a contract signed?"
"Alon, my chick is real?" She asked, already excited. When he confirmed the news, Delilah felt the tears down her cheeks. "It 's wonderful, my child!"
"Vo ... I wanted to be a surprise. We have started working recently e.. "Trembling" I did not want worry about me. "
" But I do not care at all. Your mother always wants to stay by your side because you want so much, my little one. "The tender names her. "My little genius." Involuntarily escaped Ofer
For a laugh.

"Mom!" Yoseph races against, covering an inelegant jog distance that separated them. Delilah felt sad in a big hug and male.
What had changed her baby! Actually, it does not even seem to have more right to call it "child" Yoseph was just a man. He wore an elegant dark suit that made him look professional, the graying hair and beard made him look like a businessman, like the ones you see in soap operas.
"You came alone?" She asked, trying to discern signs of a possible companion.
"Yes, Mom, I have come for you, right?" No Delilah took the sweet irony in that sentence and smiled, at peace.
"I'm so happy to have you here, I miss you so much." Yoseph smiled, pleased, suggesting to her mother that yes, his eldest son had just become an adult, angular and reserved, but basically sweet. He felt
realized, once again, before the work admirable of her belly.


Delilah let go, pampered by his sons, inspiring her own perfume. A minute would
Shmueli got there, Leah's house in Jerusalem, and she would have asked for a divorce.
"Mom, you'll be fine." Console Leah. "Dad is not bad, you'll see, will understand that you had no other choice." Alon bit her lips mute.
"In the U.S. people divorce almost every day and does nothing serious." Informs Yoseph. "You'll see it will be more painless than you think."
"With him nothing is painless."
"You are unjust, Alon. It 'still our father. "Yoseph addressed him.
"Yeah, but you left before we see with that undid me slap my face. From one that takes beating his wife and children we can expect something quiet, right. "answered the child, sarcastic.
"Our educational systems were different from those now .." Delilah whispered, a faint voice.
"But you, Mom, you never raised your hands on any of us." Alon pointed out, taking her hand.
"Your father is a man."
"I am. And I would not dream of taking your hands on a woman or a child. Even at Ofer. And I'm not willing to accept the Holocaust as an excuse for unacceptable behavior. "Attacked the musician.
"Alon" Delilah yelled that he could not stand that word sound. The doorbell rang, interrupting
croaking their skirmish.
Delilah stood up to open the protective instincts towards their children that took over. Shmueli the
you appeared before him, even more emaciated than I remembered. He had grown his hair and beard, looked even older.
She closed her eyes, she was afraid of how his voice had thundered against her once again.
But that voice came out hard and controlled.
" Abend, Delilah." She did pass with a nod.
"Hello, Dad." I said goodbye and Leah Yoseph, hugging him.
"Hello." Alon said, approaching and just trying to give the voice usually gently asleep, awake and martial tone.
Leah offered a chair to his father and served a tea for all. During that kind of ceremonial preparation, they heard only the voice of the eldest son who told his American adventures.
"Maybe now is the chance that leave you talking to yourself." Said the young woman, making sure that all guests have finished drinking. He got up, immediately imitated by the two brothers.

"Live here with Leah?" Asked Shmueli.
"No." she replied dry. "In Tel Aviv, I had already said. Work there. "
" Oh really? And would you ever work? "again inquired the husband with a smile of derision. Delilah felt as if the police the same question for a murder charge.
He was afraid. He could not look bright eyes and red of her husband.
"The dressmaker." The upper lip trembled involuntarily.
"And you had to run down there to do?" The taunt each other, without looking at her face.
"I have not run away." Dared to defend themselves. "I left."
"I've abandoned. Have you abandoned your family. "He pointed out, becoming bad.
"I know."
"That 's what you have taught your poor parents? Do you think that would be proud of yourself? "Grumbled as you would an unruly child. He always used that tone with her, and usually introduces the barrel.
"And you have been taught to beat your wife and your own children?" Delilah would not have taken this time, she was determined.
"Our kinderlekh have nothing to do with this, Froy "
"They got to do and how. Now that I no longer need to protect them. "
" Protect them from what? You can not protect them from the world, you should know. The world has always been cruel, it will be with them too. It 'full of bad people. "
"Nobody wants to kill them here, no. You're preventing them from living, "the Polish became angry, turning pain into anger.
"Ah, no? But do not read newspapers? Do not watch TV or listen to the radio? All it takes dead! And you have made them grow like softened, unable to everything, just like you! "
" I no longer want to be your wife. I want a divorce. "She proclaimed." Do not stand it anymore. "
" You shall not force myself what to do, Froy. Marriage is a contract in front of the Sky. "
" To you in Heaven has never cared about. You just afraid of getting hurt in your pride, stupid big head "was furious, as he had not ever angry." I'm never coming under your roof .- I want a divorce, I ask. "
" We'll see. "Shmueli got angry, slammed the chair." Leah! " shouted. "Leah, I'm leaving!" The woman appeared at the door and embraced her father with a rush.
"I'll call you soon, Dad." The two children greeted him with just a nod.
When the old man walked out the door in the room all resumed breathing. Delilah
burst into tears in torrents, Alon ran to support her, hugging her close.
"Why are you always so hard on your father?" Sobbed her for the umpteenth time.
"I act like you should do well with him." He replied, casting a stern look to his sister. Yoseph passed a handkerchief to his mother.
"Leah, I can make a phone call?" Asks Alon. His sister showed him the machine in the hallway.
"I have really done so badly?" The woman asked again, sniffling.
"You do not have anything wrong, Mom." Console Yoseph. Leah shook it hard.
"We are on your side."
"Mommy, Ofer picks me up early tomorrow because I have things to do in town." He announced his youngest son returning from the call. Lathes with us? "
The woman agreed.
"I stay here with us." He said Leah. "You know that Amos glad you stay here."
"I have to work too, my child. And I do not like to leave Rachel alone for too long. "Before taking leave, Leah made by Alon.
"You are so nice to take care of Mom."
"You will not leave her alone. You and your husband would not do the same? "
