Moving to the new apartments complex 1 p.m on Wednesday early afternoon. B and C ran along the hill that led to this new building, they had an appointment to visit some of the apartments with the real estate agent. They greeted each other with a kiss, exchanging a look full of confidence and expectations. For so many monthsthey have been looking for the new house where they could finally settle down and maybe start their life togethere, but time passed and they couldnn’t find the perfect house to make their own, and their small apartment in the center of Salzburg was becoming even more unconfortable...

They looked up, and immediately noticed a strange balcony on the 9th floor of the building. They were immediately intrigued.

The real estate agent led them through the building, groundloor, an open area that connected the city and the Kapuzinemberg in the back, where kids were playing hide and seek behind the great amount of columns that was covering all the area...

The agent showed them two apartments, they were very similar but they both had a singular balcony or different window that would frame the city landscape.

But still, that balcony on the 9th floor was in their mind, and although they were both perfect, both, really potentially perfect, it wasn’t the one.

They continued to nod, both aware of their disappointment. It always happened like this, he only had a look of understanding, it still was not right...

Suddenly the real estate agent said “ I have one more apartment that I could show you, but you have to know in advance that a lot of people are interested in it”.They took again the elevator and finally he pressed the 9th floor buttons and let them to courtesy hasty finally led them to the house that they have daydreamt about all this time.

The door opened, and from the first moment they imagined their lives in there.

It had never happened before...

They imaigined themselves in the kitchen busy preparing dinner. Or in the very narrow corner of the triangular balcony, going crazy trying to clean it properly.

With the summer season They would open all the windows of the room on the balcony on the mountain side and they would invite their friends on Sunday to dine there, inbetween outside and inside. At the end of the day they would be happy about the silence in their bedroom.

They understood immediately.

It was the one.

Meet restaurant

From working to a glass of glass of white wine He did not want to go out to dinner that Friday night. But for too many days she had him promised that he will. After returning home from work he tried to clear out his mind from those busy days, it was the day of their anniversary, and this deserved all of the focus. He arrived to pick her up at her place. As soon as she opened the door her enthusiasm for the night overwhelmed him, “They told me about this new restaurant I cannot wait to go there”.

The restaurant seemed overpriced, but he could only care to to see the bright smile that was lighting her face. The waiter welcomed the two on the front door and led them to their table along the staircase that connected the two main floors: they looked as two terraces hanging from above, settling them selves inbetween the main concrete structure that looked as a forest of pilars and beams...

But his thoughts where running all over the head, who knows what he was thinking, it seemed that she was speaking to herself sitting around this little round table, where at their right a corner of Salzburg was framed in this glass façade.

Suddenly he glimpsed downstairs the kitchen covered by a glass structure in which the famous chef and the other cooks waved with feverish coordination. he watched from above, as if they were performing a culinary performance behind that glass. She continued with her chatter which now He could only understand disconnected words, which he was able to respond with vague relevance.

So once again he began to stare at that detached world inside the kitchen...

He followed the flow of the waiters running up and down the stair, he then gazed this time on the bar where the barman with a silent smile wiped glasses behind his counter and a lonely man was sipping on a glass of red wine. Is he waiting for someone?

He just had to listen to it, not He could also ruin the day of their anniversary, but then his attention again was captured by the disappearance of a young waiter in a the kitchen greenhouse...

Where the hell had he gone? He slightly moved his chair so he could be able to get a better view. Now he saw more clearly a small spiral staircase inside the kitchen, He asked himself where this stair was leading, imagining some kind of secret door descenting into the womb of the earth . Everything attracted his attention in that place which the warm atmosphere enveloped him completely.

From that advantage point of the restaurant, He felt like a viewer of a piece he mastered the entire screenplay or the director of a large orchestra.

“Why are you not listening to me?”

The time wasn’t passing fast enough so he decided to take a look around the building that was just restored.

He first went to the information desk to get his pass for the conference room. The red door was opened so he entered and went looking for his seat in advanced. The light was clear and bright inside the greenhouse, shining through the glass roof ...

He finally found his seat: the seventh row on the left side. It was facing the internal façade of the old building, and then noticed two people, a couple, drank a coffee in a framed window looking in restaurant adjacent to the lounge. An envy feeling invaded his body.

He ran back to the lobby to check if she had finally arrived.

But no sign of her still ...

While wondering around the hall, he all of the sudden heard some musing playing in the background.

Only fifteen passed from his arrival, so he decided to lose some time while still waiting and followed the music: it wasn’t coming from the bar as expected. Where did it come from?

Without even realizing, his restless route took him at the entrance to a space where some guys sitting at a table animated discussion of some kind of project.

Hidden away at the bottom of the atelier, a young woman on the notes of a Night painted absorbed, the concentrated look.

That one vision was able to calm his impatience ...

He stood there looking at it, then the phone rang and he read the text message: she wasn’t able to come to the conference.

He started walking again toward the lobby, now resignedly, he took one of the two mirrored stair, until it reached a quiet terrace facing the mountain where he decided that he would wait the beginning of the conference.

He sat down and looking for the thousandth time at his watch, he realized who still lacked a lot of time and laughed a bit of himself.

Walk on the Franziskischlössl on Kapuzinerberg Sundays for S. was a holy day, his reconciliation with the world. He had started To bear it only since he lived in Salzburg. That city had been as an antidote for his loneliness. Every holy Sunday, S. got up at nine and began his ritual through the streets of the center. The path was always the same, but it was necessary to repeat it from beginning to end as every Sunday.

The usual coffee and a slice of cake...

The scaffolding building was his favorite corner of the city. It was a frenetic place, between the busy street, the shopping mall, and the the other markets, but this specific corner had always proved him a great charm for that intricate structure, hidden in the city’s eyes by one simple facade.

Like every Sunday he sat down on the blue steps of the entrance, and read his favorite book...

Nothing of the true nature of that building was visible from the outside, and only a few felt the curiosity to find out what was going on behind that theater wing. A bit’ as it happens to people.

A thick and thin rain beat on the plastic roof of the new extension of the sead, and it was crowded with people like every year for the annual dance show of the school, and this Thursday it seemed that there were so many more people than ever before, is it because they were all sheltering under the roof?

M. was sure that that evening would have been intense, the last dance display before leaving Salzburg. The school had been his refuge for many years. Every corner of the place was imbued with memories.

As soon as he crossed for the umpteenth time that door, he realized that everything from that night on would never have been the same.

That feeling did not stop him from performing that night...

While dancing on stage for the last time, he was rethinking of the fear of the first day. He felt as the first time on that same spot on the linoleum floor. He remember the humiliation, but also the understanding and comprehensive looks of his companions and teachers, the same one he was seeing this night from the stage. The performance is over, everybody is clapping. Now he walked through the corridors of the school with self confidence and a bit of melancholy. The evening was like a dream come true, and now it was time to celebrate the graduation from the Academy.

Everything would change in a just little amount of time, he would go back to his hometown and leaving Salzburg.

The room got emptier and them also run down the stair and left the party room, he said goodbye to all of his friends and went back inside the school one last time.

Bottles and sticks reigned everywhere in the confraternity, but K. knew it couldn’t help to clean. In just a few days he would have to face one of the biggest exam at the university, so I decided to go to the studyng room and trying to do his best.

He ran to the dining area that was facing the same courtyard as sthe studio room and a ray of sun hit the garden. It was time to decide what to do: and of course he took the stair in front of him leading to the terrace and sat at the sun.

He woke up, he looked at the watch, it was 3.00 p.m.

There was neither once chance to go back to study, he thought “ well I lost already half day”.
