The Dream came true but.. 2020
Ida sits on the porch of the red, old 18th-century house, she has rented for a week. It's hot in the sun and she's pulled herself into the shade on the porch, where she sits on an old chair. She follows the gaze of a large wasp, trying to get into the old wood to build nests.
"I wonder if it's the Queen," she thinks.
Yesterday was a day of destiny. She had been notified on the phone by her son that his father had passed away, Ida's former husband. He had been found dead in his apartment in Söder. A shocking news, even if Rolf had left her for a younger woman and she was then inconsolable for a year, when she processed the sadness that he had left her - she believed.
But the grief is there again. She cries over the loss of a wonderful father to her son. Why is life so hard? She listens to her son on the phone, that he's shocked, eventually weeping.
They cry together on the phone.
She now wants to be there for her son in the grief of his father.
She asks him to come to the house,
she rents and be there for a few days.
"Yes, just two days, then I want to say goodbye to dad in the hospital."
"I understand," she says quietly.
Ida's son will be here the following day.
They hug each other tightly and cry a little.
"How can a person's life end like this," his son wonders.
The question hangs in the air, there is no answer - just an unbearable sadness.
Ida makes a good dinner for her and her son.
They grill a piece of meat and vegetables on the grill on the patio, which runs around the house on two sides.
The air is lukewarm, it feels more like a Mediterranean evening. They sit out for a long time talking about his father. Every now and then, they cry a little over memories of his father.
In the morning, they go down to the water, to take a refreshing swim. After the swim, they drink a cup of coffee on the porch.
Ida waves goodbye to her son, throws kisses at the car.
She goes into the house and picks up sheets and duvets.
She sits on the porch and looks out over the neighborhood.
Suddenly, a well-known sound of birds, cranes, forming a plow in the blue sky and flying towards the pond in the forest, is heard, to take a break in flying, drink water and "socialize".
She was dozing off in the chair, she had been sleeping badly, thinking a lot about what had happened to Rolf. He'd been found dead in his apartment. She's thinking about how fast life is over.
Poff, you're gone.
She feels melancholy. There is no answer to this.
Suddenly, she's woken up by a ringtone on her phone. Unknown number. No, she's not answering. She never answers 070 numbers.
It's just salesmen calling.
"Pling" from the cell phone. Someone's been talking in a message.
She listens to:
"Hi Ida, this is Sven. I'll call you back later." Which Sven?
Ida won't have time to think much longer, and her cell phone will ring again.
“Hello”, Ida answers.
"Hi, this is Sven."
Ida tries to think, she gets puzzled, doesn't know, what to say.
"Which Sven"?
"Sven, who you were with in the '70s. Did you remember?
Now it spins even more, she tries to find in the ringing brain cells, which Sven? Now she remembered, the handsome Sven she's been with for 5 years.
"Hey, I was shocked. Are you calling me?"
The question lies unanswered in the air.
"Yes, I Googled your name, I knew your name as a married. I've thought about you so much and now I took courage and called you."
"How are you?"
Yes, how's she doing?
"I'm fine. I have rented a house and will be here at Lake Mälaren for a week."
"That's nice! I've been a widower for seven months, and I thought about you and wondered, how are you doing? I guess I'll also say that I've not only thought about you now, but you've really been in my mind the whole time."
Ida feels dazed- she finds it hard to keep her mind in check. Sven, who she was so in love with.
This stately man, who had such charisma and that a lot of girls wanted. She left him because he met other girls.
She didn't want to be humiliated.
"When you get here in a week, maybe we can meet then"?
"Yes, that would be nice"!
"I'll call you then! Have a good holiday."
"Thank you, I will," Ida replies.
Now Ida feels dazed. She hasn't thought about Sven these years. What could it be?
Now she's recalling their passion. She met him when she was studying in Uppsala. She was the first year there as a recentior, as they were called, when you were a new academic. She was going to the Recentior ball, as it was called.
She wore the white dress with a white bolero over it, which she had at her Graduation. Deep decolletage, which showed her beautiful breasts. She had been complimented many times for them, and she knew they were a magnet for the guys.
She had received many cries for them. She was happy to highlight them, as she was proud of them.
Ida put on her student cap, which was a must at this ball for new arrivals. She put on makeup, made the crow's kick with eyeliner out of the corner of her eye on her eyelids, and improved her eyelashes, which consisted of a brush, which was dipped in water-filled mascara and then applied to eyelashes – that was the case back then. There were no roll-ons at the time. One last look in the mirror.
Yes, she was pleased with the result. Neat!
She heads towards Södermanland – Närkes Nation or SNärke Nation, as it is called, which is located near the University.
On the tables in the national hall, songbooks had been laid out at each location. You always started singing.
Gaudeamus Igitur... ",
which is a medieval student song, sung at national parties. All students were placed with a name tag. A lot to drink for starter, main course and dessert. Everyone is quite "furry" after long sitting with 1st Q (Qurator) for The Nation, which has greeted them "Welcome" to The University City and many songs, to be sung. She notices that a man a little further away at the table gives her a look. She feels watched and it feels a bit tingly.
Now the dance begins. Great songs from the '60s with Elvis Presley, Bill Haley etc.
When "Let's twist again." starting to play, a rather wobbly guy, the one who has previously given her eyes, comes at Ida and asks if they can dance.
"Yes," she says.
I think he's having such a hard time keeping his balance, but sometimes he's a dancer. They begin to "twist" after the music of the popular "Let's twist again. " He actually has a nice style. Next dance, they bug.
