Fui levada para uma aldeia, um sítio escuro e com casas rudimentares. A língua continuava a soar estranha para mim. Não entendi nada. O que queriam de mim e para onde me levavam. Quando vi mulheres, confesso à fiquei mais calma. Talvez seja mesmo só um mal-entendido. Deram-me fruta e roupa demasiado vistosa para a simplicidade da aldeia e das casas. Aí comecei a pensar que afinal me tratavam bem. O medo começou a dar lugar ao espanto, mas o desconhecido permaneceu. Não entendia nada do que se passava. Fui levada para uma cerimónia e tratada como uma... Desperto súbita e violentamente. Volta o desconhecido, o confuso, que se passa? Mais uma manhã, o confronto com a realidade. Tenho um dia pela frente, o trabalho espera- me, o desejo de ser tratada de uma rainha fica lá atrás do pensamento. O raiar do dia retira-me o sonho. Até logo... At first, I thought it was all a misunderstanding. I quickly realized that it wasn't. Things weren't looking good for me. I was still inside the tent when three men burst in and spoke a language I didn't know. Overcome by fear and prejudice, I tried to stay calm and tell myself that they wanted someone else, that I wasn't the one they were after. But when I was taken away by force, everything inside me collapsed. It was the panic of the unknown, the fear of my physical integrity, perhaps even of my life. I was taken to a village, a dark place with rudimentary houses. The language still sounded strange to me. I didn't understand anything. What they wanted from me and where they were taking me. When I saw women, I confess I felt calmer. Maybe it really is just a misunderstanding. They gave me fruit and clothes that were too flashy for the simplicity of the village and the houses. Then I started to think that maybe they were treating me well after all. Fear began to give way to amazement, but the unknown remained. I didn't understand anything that was going on. I was taken to a ceremony and treated like a... I wake up suddenly and violently. The unknown, the confusion returns. What's going on? Another morning, another confrontation with reality. I have a day ahead of me, work awaits me, the desire to be treated like a queen is left behind. The dawn takes away my dream. See you later...
