Short history

The guitar

Rosenildo, Stela e Selma

A couple were about to complete three years of marriage, Márcia, the wife, was feeling sad due to the fact that her husband Carlos was spending more time playing his guitar than with her. Day after day she felt that the guitar was taking her place.
One day when she arrived home, Carlos was playing the guitar, she called him three times: “Carlos, Carlos, Carlos!”. But he didn’t say any word and even looked at her. At that moment she noticed that his guitar was more important than her. She still insisted for some time to get his attention, but the attention that she desired was giving to the guitar. While she was there, standing and waiting for a piece of attention she was thinking: ”He´ll never hold me as he holds that guitar. Has not touched me that way in years. I´ll get inside the guitar to be in his arms again.” She left the room thinking about the idea.
The following day when they were celebrating their wedding anniversary, her husband left home early saying that he would come back with a surprise to her. She got really excited, she spent all day, sacrificing her shape, voice, because she wanted to be the guitar to her husband. Finally, she waited for him, mude, just like a guitar, waiting to be held and played.
Some hours later she heard steps, her husband had arrived, he got home saying: “Honey, I´m home! I bought a new guitar!”.
She wondered shouted: “Another?”
Then her husband gave the guitar to her and said: “Of course my dear, some days ago you were standing in front of me while I was playing it, and then I realized that I could teach you how to play the guitar and we could play together, so this is my wedding anniversary gift to you!”
She couldn´t believe what she had just heard from him, but she was so happy to see that her husband was still thinking of her and they could spend more time together again, that she hadn´t even cared to agree and play that fool instrument.
