I came to Kamala because I had been told that my father, a man named Pedro Paramo, lived there. It was my mother who told me and I had promised her that after she died I will go see him. I squeeze her hands as a sign. I will do it. She was near death and I would have promised her anything. Don't fail to go see him. She had insisted Some call him one thing some another. I'm sure he will want to know you at the time. All I could do was tell her. I will do what she asked. And from promising so often I kept repeating the promise even after I have pulled my hands free of her death grip. Still earlier, she had told me, don't ask him for anything, just what's ours what he should have given me, but never did.
