“These guys today don’t know anything about women! I am the one who requests the biggest of the eleven airplanes every time I want to sleep with their owner!”
A tomb-like silence follows. After a brief pause, I add, “How naive, poor guys!” and I withdraw.
What my neighbor is ignoring is that all men in love listen to the woman who sleeps with them more than to anyone else. And Escobar is no exception. Pablo and I are well aware that because of the nature of the business feeding Santofimio’s campaign and my fame, we are exposed to all kinds of mockery and criticism, so we protect ourselves fiercely. Since he has an empire to manage and can’t be present for all the rallies and political meetings, we almost always see each other afterward or the following day, when I give him a detailed report on everything that’s happened. When I tell him about the People’s Mayor, he reacts like a lion.
“And why else would I send a jet that uses thousands of dollars in fuel for the woman I adore, who lives in another city? Am I going to take catechism lessons from a beauty like you? Are you Saint Maria Goretti, or what? That bum’s been asking me for money for weeks. . . . Now he won’t get a cent from me as long as he lives! And if he comes within a thousand feet of me, I’ll send a dozen men to kick his ass and I’ll order them to castrate him! For being a marica! And stupid!”
As the campaign advances, I start to realize the impressive influence Santofimio exercises over Pablo. On the night of Twenty Love Poems, I’d heard them say several times that Luis Carlos Galán was the only thing standing between them and power. By now it’s absolutely clear to me that not only is Santofimio determined to be the next president, but Pablo plans to be his successor on Bolívar’s throne. They don’t make the slightest effort to hide their intentions to end galanismo, whatever the price.
