Alec: Two Words Reader Response Theory

What are the two words?
While it is impossible to determine exactly the two words said by Belisa they were no doubt very powerful and very personal. The two words would have to be ambiguous with hidden implicit meanings in order to make El Mulato obsess so much over them. The words could have been an enchantment of sorts, or could have been a criticism or promise. It is well that the two words were not revealed in the story, otherwise the story would have lost its allure and power, much like the words Belisa sold in the story.
