Chapter 29: Memories of Helder and the Woman He Loves
After the Montpellier match, the whole team was on a day off.
Helder decided to visit the city to get to know the city better.
He took his shower.
He tidied up his room.
He wore his suit.
Yes, Helder was not dressing very well for the new generation.
He always felt comfortable in a suit.
He thought of combing his hair, but he didn't care much about his hair.
His only life outside of football was his desire to see new places.
And this is where the woman he fell in love with his previous life was born.
How did he meet that woman?
Yes, he did. How could he forget anyway?
They met in an away game of Bayern Munich in the 1960s.
He fell in love with his yellow hair and blue eyes at first.
Her tiny nose and curly hair reaching up to his waist shocked Helder at that moment.
"Anyway…" Helder said.
"Now is not the time to think about these."
He went out of the facilities.
It was the first time he had been visiting the city since he had arrived.
"I wonder if I take a taxi?" he thought.
But then he gave up.
If you want to explore a city, you can best explore it on foot.
"Where should I go first?" he thought.
He decided to go to the famous Tanguy Tower.
It was one of the landmarks of the city of Brest.
He wanted to walk around the city comfortably.
But unfortunately, this was impossible.
Because he was well known for his huge size and being the new transfer of the Brest club.
Many fans stopped Helder and took pictures.
Helder was a gentleman.
He did not refuse any of them.
But he was a little overwhelmed with attention.
"I wonder if I went out for a ride at the wrong time?" he thought with a smile.
"So let's leave the exploration of the city later for now. I guess there is only one place where I wouldn't be disturbed. "
He went to a flower shop.
He looked at the flowers.
"I hope you have what I'm looking for here." he thought.
"Here what did you want?" said the florist.
"Can I have a pink gladiolus?" Helder asked.
"Oh sure, I'm preparing a curl right away." said the florist.
After a few minutes, the flower he wanted was ready.
He went there calmly.

"So this is where she sleeps?" he thought.
He was moving slowly.
He was looking at the names.
"There were many people, more than I expected ..."
"Yes, I finally found it ..."
"Carine Garcia…"
Helder was in a cemetery.
He knew that the woman he loved was here, but he never dared to come.
Even though he wanted to come into his previous life, he never succeeded.
He was scared then.
He left the flowers in his hands on his grave.
Pink gladiolus was Carine's favorite flower.
"I brought you your favorite flower in the world."
"I am with you after years. Do you see me? Do you feel me? I'm here, Carine, I'm here. "
"I am here with all my soul, with all my heart."
Helder bowed.
He took the soil from his grave and smelled it ...
He could not hold back his tears.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm telling you, are you okay?"
A female voice?
Helder turned away. He looked at the person asking the question.
And it seemed to swallow his tongue.
He could not believe what he was seeing.
Carine was against it…
Carine also had a pink gladiolus.
He still couldn't believe it.
Those blue eyes and blonde curly hair.
"Carine ..." could only say ...
Helder just stood stuck ...
