I Fall In Love In Another Dimension
Chapter 26

Our hero worked tirelessly in his laboratory, despising meetings, visits from his wife, food, everything except beer, because it helped him to pass the bitter pill of not knowing the status and whereabouts of his sweetheart, however, he had to report his progress to

the emperor, who arrived believing he was his best friend, greeting him with a hug accompanied by these beautiful words:

Dear friend, sorry I have not looked for you, I have been very busy, I had to make a pact with the other nations that I was about to conquer, the good thing is that I won a position in the high council of the union of world powers, they are giving me more technology until nuclear I think they will give us, unfortunately I also have to call elections and reinstate the Senate with all the democratic apparatus, that muddy that life is never easy, at least I had a little fun.

Estiben, looking at him out of the corner of his eye, told him as always the first thing that came to his mind and without using prudence:

-sir, your problems are very complicated, although don't let them affect you, a friend of mine used to tell me "worry when you can't get it up"; of course it is difficult, I am very desperate for the uncertain whereabouts of Doctor Yací, that's why I am dedicated to discover devices that will help rescue her and remember that you are not alone, you have your pretty wife who supports you and loves you, I suppose.

The emperor's face changed as if he were someone else, his smooth complexion now contracted, although he continued to play the friend, he said to him:

-Estiben, you know that it is very hard sometimes to live together, when you are in love you create different expectations, you idealize a person, you think that everything will be rosy, until as time goes by you see your princess transformed into a cruel witch, sadly you realize that she always was, what happened is that you were self-deceived, maybe thinking that things would improve, when the reality showed the opposite.

Estiben looked him in the eyes observing how his eyes enclosed a great amount of pain, trying to comfort him he said these words:

-yes, sir, it is something logical that we refuse to see, it is like in the story that a man kills the witch to marry the daughter, according to that they will live happily ever after, which I guess would not happen, since everything will change when they live together, that they begin to see the defects, besides she will sleep next to the one who snatched not only her mother, also her freedom, dreams and illusions, surely someday he will wake up turned into a girl or he will not be able to get up anymore. Rodriguez, laughing a little, softly uncorked two beers, giving one to his chat partner, telling him in a friendly way:

-"If it is true, one is the only one to blame for his misfortunes, perhaps for wanting to please others, instead of doing what one really wants, not to live by appearances or dogmas, only one thing matters, to be happy".

Estiben thought that he was referring to the homosexual affair with his advisor, he remembered that his wife told him about it, that s he also said something about an attempt on the president's wife, so he did not resist and asked him: -By the way, how is your wife doing, is it true that she suffered an attack?

The emperor scratched his head, moved his lips and made a clicking sound like a burrito, and then answered:

-yes it is a calamity, it turns out that my greatest advisor, I still do not know his motives, it must be that maybe he was the spy and that attack was surely directed against me, we do not know yet, since he felt trapped and committed suicide, my wife was left invalid, which has affected our relationship even more, because if before she was quarrelsome now she is twice as much, although half of it does not work for her.

Another question hovered on the tip of the scientist's tongue, until he couldn't take it anymore, letting it slip out:

-it is a great catastrophe, a person in that condition is very sensitive and requires that we all have consideration for him, but not pity, on the other hand, if it is his turn to call elections, that means that he is no longer emperor, can I call him president? He looked at him tenderly and gave a big smile accompanied by these sweet words: -no, you can call me "friend".

Estiben looked at him analyzing him, maybe he was telling him the truth or maybe he wanted to place him as a replacement for his unfortunate consort, or maybe he was just telling him all that to manipulate him, maybe he didn't forget that he sent him on a suicide mission, that he exiled his wife and that he was hiding things from him, maybe he was the one who gave the information to Portón, who could be his friends or another one of his lovers. However, he had to break the uncomfortable silence, so at last it occurred to him to tell her:

-Yes sir, of course it is an honor for me, by the way I need some inhalers for my asthma, the one I have is not working, it is as if its components have been altered, maybe due to the change of dimension, I do not know, but I think that some inorganic substances do not work the same under the vibration of the other world, I have to finish this portal to do many experiments, remember how Portón became in the explosion that sent me to the other side, I left him between both worlds, by the way, have you been able to get any data from his body?

The president changed his good face to the fist one again, to answer him steadily:

-I don't know, nothing has come out of the observations, maybe we should liquefy him, maybe if you hadn't shattered his skull, we would have it easier.

The scientist, raising his shoulders calmly, replied:

-I touch, he wanted to make mincemeat of us, I don't regret it and every night in my nightmares I repeat it over and over again, like an annoying loop, but I enjoy it -I touch, he wanted to make mincemeat of us, I don't regret it and every night in my nightmares I repeat it over and over again, like an annoying loop, but I enjoy it, he hurt us very badly, he almost killed us, I don't understand the reason why he became obsessed with us.
