PART II

Him

I search for you, now, full of sadness.

And I can’t find you.

Mozart, Lied

23.

The odor.

A hospital odor.

Miller…the operation.

With difficulty, and in a thick fog, Claudio extended his hand.

“Laura.”

Emptiness.

“Laura?”

This time he had shouted, but the sound hadn’t come out. The wall was too high to clear.

He raised his hand with pain and grazed the bandage over his eye. He didn’t feel bad; it was just an annoyance.

“Laura.”

Someone entered the room and a hand took his; a large, thick hand, not Laura’s hand.

“Everything’s fine, sir. You had an operation. You’re in your room,” said a female voice.

“Laura.”

“The young lady is not here. She’s going to come back. Don’t upset yourself like that. Everything went well.”

She’s going to come back…

The woman made a telephone call. He heard, “Quick! Quick!” He lifted his left eyelid: whiteness. The door opened again and quick steps came toward his bed.

“Mr. Roman. All is well. Very, very well. The operation succeeded perfectly.”

This time, it was the anesthesiologist’s voice. A Japanese voice. He had mimicked it and Laura had laughed. God, he was tired, groggy.

“What time is it?”

“Twelve-thirty.”

“Where is Laura?”

“I don’t know, sir, but Dr. Miller will tell you. Miss Vincent saw him after the operation.”

Miss Vincent saw him…Laura liked Dr. Miller a lot. She trusted him.

Another step. Dr. Miller’s hand, fine, nervous, on his.

“Claudio…” Miller called him Claudio now? “Everything went perfectly. We’ll remove your bandage early tomorrow.”

Tomorrow?

“I want Laura,” he shouted. “Immediately! Go get her for me.”
