El sol comenz\u00f3 a esconderse tras las monta\u00f1as. Eran los \u00faltimos rayos del d\u00eda y el cielo sufr\u00eda la transformaci\u00f3n m\u00e1gica del anochecer: a un lado rosas, naranjas y violetas en tonos intensos coloreando las nubes, al otro un azul marino dejaba entrever una luna en cuarto creciente. Desde la ventana de la cocina alcanzaba a ver el punto exacto donde se difuminaban todos estos colores, adem\u00e1s del verde cada vez m\u00e1s oscuro, de los \u00e1rboles de la ladera de la monta\u00f1a. Cort\u00e9 los tomates y los r\u00e1banos y los a\u00f1ad\u00ed al bol de ensalada. Suspir\u00e9 con resignaci\u00f3n, llevaba semanas sin intercambiar una palabra con otro ser humano, tan solo los \u00e1rboles y alg\u00fan p\u00e1jaro escuchaban mis ideas y reflexiones. Prepar\u00e9 la mesa y en un arrebato de extravagancia, coloqu\u00e9 un plato, un vaso y un cubierto de m\u00e1s. Una tonter\u00eda por mi parte pues no esperaba visita alguna. Me sent\u00e9 en mi sitio habitual y serv\u00ed en silencio la ensalada en ambos platos. Afuera solo se escuchaban los cantos de los grillos. Sent\u00ed el exceso de soledad llegar a su punto de ebullici\u00f3n y en alg\u00fan momento durante la ingesta comenc\u00e9 a charlar en voz alta a mi acompa\u00f1ante inexistente.
\n– Se ha quedado buena noche.
\nSilence.
\n– Creo que a la ensalada le falta sal, \u00bfte acerco el salero?
\nSilencio. Mi enajenaci\u00f3n fue en aumento.
\n– No. A\u00fan no he podido retomar la novela, no encuentro inspiraci\u00f3n.
\nM\u00e1s silencio. Tan solo rasgado por el canto intermitente de los grillos.
\n– Ser\u00eda m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil si pudiera debatir ciertas ideas con alguien. Quiz\u00e1 podr\u00eda continuar si alguien revisase los textos.
\nComo era de esperar, nadie contest\u00f3.
\nContinu\u00e9 comiendo con desgana y sin levantar la vista del plato. Al terminar, recog\u00ed la mesa y cu\u00e1l fue mi sorpresa cuando tas de m\u00ed escuch\u00e9 una voz grave.
\n– \u00bfQu\u00e9 esperabas, Daniel, al venir a una caba\u00f1a en medio de la absoluta nada?
\nMe di la vuelta boqueando como pez fuera del agua en busca de ox\u00edgeno y el plato se resbal\u00f3 de mis manos produciendo un estallido que silenci\u00f3 hasta el canto de los grillos.
\n– \u00bfCh-ch-ch-Charlie Kaufman? \u00bfC-co-c\u00f3mo\u2026?
\nEl hombre solt\u00f3 una carcajada sonora y jovial y se acerc\u00f3 tendi\u00e9ndome una mano a modo de saludo.
\n– El mismo. Un placer. Lamento haberte asustado.
\nSegu\u00ed sin moverme de mi sitio. La cabeza me daba vueltas y sent\u00ed como las rodillas me fallaban. Tuve que agarrarme al borde del fregadero y hacer un esfuerzo sobrehumano por no desplomarme. Sent\u00ed el sudor fr\u00edo resbalar por la nuca y por la sien.
\nCon movimientos r\u00e1pidos me acerc\u00f3 una de las sillas, yo todav\u00eda segu\u00eda sin poder articular palabra.
\n– Parece que te has quedado sin habla. Si\u00e9ntate, vamos. \u00bfQuieres un poco de agua?
\nAsent\u00ed con la cabeza mientras alcanzaba a sentarme en la silla. Tom\u00e9 el vaso de agua de un solo trago y cerr\u00e9 los ojos.
\n– Estoy alucinando \u2013 alcanc\u00e9 a titubear a\u00fan con los ojos cerrados \u2013 Esto es solo un juego, una ilusi\u00f3n de mi cerebro. En realidad no est\u00e1s aqu\u00ed.
\nKaufman volvi\u00f3 a re\u00edr. Abr\u00ed los ojos y vi c\u00f3mo se dirig\u00eda a la radio antigua situada al otro lado de la cocina. Intent\u00f3 sintonizarla.
\n– No tengo mucho tiempo \u2013 dijo \u2013 Lamentablemente nuestro encuentro ser\u00e1 breve. \u00bfC\u00f3mo va tu novela?
\nContinu\u00f3 buscando una emisora, la radio cruj\u00eda con los cambios, normalmente no sintonizaba y cuando lo hac\u00eda no era por mucho tiempo. Consigui\u00f3 dar con una estaci\u00f3n de radio y de los altavoces brot\u00f3 la m\u00fasica: And here’s to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know<\/em>\u2026
\n– Ah, buenos recuerdos del 1968. Imagino que la conoces.
\nEscuch\u00e9 un zumbido fuerte a mi espalda, gir\u00e9 la cabeza y alcanc\u00e9 a ver un dron espi\u00e1ndonos por la ventana. Cuando volv\u00ed la vista a la cocina, completamente desorientado y confundido, Kaufman hab\u00eda desaparecido. La radio segu\u00eda sonando.
\n(\u2026) Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey, hey, hey.<\/em><\/p>\n
