[EN-ES] Susy and the Answer Box | Susy y la Caja de respuestas
-I don't think you should do that -Marcus slipped his hands into his khaki pants and moved his pupils from left to right.
Susy, without turning around, held the mysterious silver key, walking the human phalanx key ring between her fingers.
The gloomy atmosphere of the ruined house did not help Marcus' confidence; standing with his back to the blonde teenager, one foot toward her and one toward the door.
-Creo que no deberías hacerlo -Marcus metió sus manos en el pantalon de caqui y movió sus pupilas de izquierda a derecha.
Susy sin voltear sostenía la misteriosa llave plateada, paseando entre sus dedos el llavero de falange humana.
El ambiente lúgubre de la casa en ruinas, no ayudaba a la confianza de Marcus; parado a espaldas de la rubia adolescente, con un pié hacia ella y uno hacia la puerta.

-What do you think it is? -In a deep voice, the almost still girl raised the key, placing it between her face and the gold engraved box.
-I'm not sure -he said with a grim look on his face- but such a pretty box and such a sinister key in an abandoned place don't bode well.
The mossy walls emitted a sticky humidity, and on one of the walls, written with some charcoal point, read "The remains are the chest that keeps the soul".
-We'd better leave -she smiled and put the key in her pocket- I'll keep it so that no one opens it, lest this be Pandora's box.
He took her by the hand, he didn't think he knew her just a couple of hours in the corner bakery. He was enjoying his coffee and a bagete, when she stumbled across his table and spilled coffee on his pants.
She lived on the opposite corner from the bakery, in her school uniform she still told him she would pay for the laundry, if he would accompany her to see a treasure in the abandoned house nearby.
-¿Que crees que sea? -con una voz grave, la casi niña aún, levantó la llave colocándola entre su rostro y la caja con grabados dorados.
-No estoy seguro -dijo él con el semblante adusto- pero una caja tan bonita y una llave tan siniestra ennun sitio abandonado no creo que sean signo de buen augurio.
Las paredes llenas de musgo, emitían una humedad pegostosa, en uno de los muros, escrito con alguna punta de carbón se leía "Los restos son el cofre que guarda el alma".
-Mejor largarnos -ella sonrió y guardó la llave en su bolsillo- la guardaré para que nadie la abra, no sea que está sea la caja de Pandora.
Él la tomó de la mano, no creía que la conocía apenas un par de horas en la panadería de la esquina. Estaba disfrutando su café y un bagete, cuando ella tropezó su mesa y le derramó el café en el pantalón.
Ella vivía en la esquina contraria de la panadería, con su uniforme de escolar aún le dijo que pagaría la lavandería, si la acompañaba a ver un tesoro en la casa abandonada cerca de allí.
The girl's aura and the enthusiasm with which she made the proposal, was the reason why he followed her to the gloomy place.
-Did I tell you how I found this key? -*she asked".
He was already on the sidewalk relieved to be out of that place. With his head he made a gesture of denial without further interest in the matter.
-A sorceress gave it to me, she told me that I should go to someone older and that I would find the answers I was looking for inside it -she said, staring at him.
-And in the middle of the 21st century you still believe in that nonsense? -He looked at her disapprovingly -And what were you asking anyway?
She started walking down the sidewalk, balancing on the edge, her arms outstretched as if she were on a tightrope.
-Stuff -she laughed -girl stuff.
Marcus looked up and remembered he had a heavy report to deliver to his boss.
-Well, I've delivered, you don't need to pay me anything, the coffee has already dried -he started walking in the opposite direction to her.
For a moment, they were at the distance of a lamppost with the old house in between them. They turned, looked into each other's brown eyes, then she smiled, tilted her face a little and raised her hand with a sign of peace and said goodbye.
He raised his hand and for a moment felt deeply inspired and confused with the slender new acquaintance.
As he started to walk, Marcus heard footsteps behind him; at a run, Susy returned to where he was.
-I don't need to open the box -she said, smiling - I already know the answer.
Surprised, he just said, "And what is it?
-It's you -she blushed a little and ran back the other way.
-And what's the question? -shouted the boy as he watched the girl walk away.
-I'll tell you this afternoon at the bakery -he heard in the distance, while the girl vanished like a mirage.
Marcus stopped thoughtfully, believing that they were playing a juvenile joke on him, then he looked at his watch and remembered the report, he hurried his pace.
The intrigue of knowing what the question was, as well as the mystery of the box and key, was enough to accept the appointment at the bakery.
To be continued...
El aura de la chica y el entusiasmo con qué realizó la propuesta, fue la razón por la cual el la siguió al lúgubre lugar.
-¿Te conté como hallé está llave? -pregunto ella.
El estaba ya en la acera aliviado de haber salido de aquel lugar. Con su cabeza hizo un gesto de negación sin mayor interés en el asunto.
-Me la dió una hechicera, me dijo que debía ir con alguien mayor y que encontraría las respuestas que buscaba adentro de ella -contó ella mirándolo fijamente.
-¿Y en pleno siglo XXI sigues creyendo en esas tonterías? -la miró con desaprobación- y a todas estas ¿Que preguntabas?
Ella arrancó a caminar por la acera, haciendo equilibrio por la orilla, con los brazos abiertos como si estuviese en una cuerda floja.
-Cosas -se rió- cosas de chicas.
Marcus miró hacia arriba y recordó que debía entregar un pesado informe a su jefe.
-Bueno he cumplido, no necesitas pagarme nada, ya se ha secado el café -Empezo a caminar en dirección contraria a ella.
Por un momento, estaban a la distancia de un poste de alumbrado con la casa antigua en medio de ambos. Se giraron, miraron sus ojos castaños, luego ella sonrió, ladeó un poco su rostro y levantando su mano connuna señal de paz se despidió.
El levantó su mano y por un momento se sintió profundamente inspirado y confundido con la delgada recién conocida.
Cuando empezaba a caminar, Marcus, oyó pasos a su espalda; a la carrera, Susy regresó hasta donde el estaba.
-No necesito abrir la caja -dijo ella sonriendo- ya se la respuesta.
Sorprendido, el solo dijo "¿Y cual es?".
-Eres tu -se ruborizó un poco los pómulos y regresó corriendo en sentido contrario.
-¿Y cuál es la pregunta? -gritó el muchacho viendo alejarse a la chica.
-Te lo diré esta tarde en la panadería -se oyó en la distancia, mientras la chica como espejismo se esfumaba.
Marcus, se detuvo pensativo, creyendo que le estaban jugando una broma juvenil, luego miró el reloj y recordó el informe, apuró el paso.
La intriga de saber cuál era la pregunta, así como el misterio de la caja y llave, eran suficiente para aceptar la cita en la panadería.
