Love in ruins Chapter twenty-six
The goodbye time I don't think I've ever walked so fast in my life. There was a stretch where I saw myself running, out of breath and desperate through the streets, bumping into people, where the movement was more intense. My voice was barely heard when I apologized. If people knew the chaos that each one lived, they would be kinder to each other. But I didn't expect kindness from anyone, I put up with the curses, the ugly faces, I just wanted this nightmare where my mother was the center to end right away. I found Claudio and Desiree at reception. He yelled at the attendant, saying it was urgent. Soon a nurse appeared and took her to be seen. While my highly-altered father did her chart, I accompanied Desiree to the doctor's office. A cry stuck in my throat prevented me from saying anything. She was breathing hard as she walked. I left her inside the office and left before collapsing. She was supposed to be fine. Why is it happening all over again? I leaned against the wall and l

I couldn't sleep well that night and when the sun rose in the sky I was already awake, with an almost terrible headache. I couldn't stop thinking about my mother and the state she was in. It took me a while to get out of bed, I couldn't see her or take care of her. I couldn't do anything without being able to help save my mother's life. Still with my eyes closed, I felt the vibrated of my cell phone on the bed.Luke calling…A smile forms on my face.Before the third ring, I answer.“Hi, Aurora” says, he seems to be in one place, with a lot of noise “How is your mother?”“Hi”, I say this smiling, but that soon disappears as soon as I remember Desiree, “She is in the ICU, her condition is serious.”I swallow the cry.“I'm sorry,” there's silence on the other end, “If you need anything, you can call me.”“I know, and I appreciate it”Another silence, maybe for the moment I'm living, maybe for the day before. There is a strange air between us."Promise you'll call?" he insists, "I don't

Luke and AuroraI got a call from Naldo. It was a Saturday, and the night was already revealing itself, but there were no stars. The only glow that could be seen in the sky was the lightning, indicating that a storm was approaching. I answered the call with Sandro glued to my neck. Every time my cell phone rang, I had to put it on speakerphone.“Hi,” I answered, hoping he wouldn't bring up the subject we'd discussed.“Aurora's mother passed away” his voice was choked, as if he was sorry.“When was that?” It was a shock for me.“A few hours ago” he said, “She asked me to let you know.“Thank you, Naldo” I swallowed hard.“It would be nice for her to have a visit from you,” he concluded.“Clear. I'm going there right now”.The call ended. It took me a while to assimilate what was happening. I had my own problems to solve, but when it came to Aurora I forgot a little about myself and turned all my strength to her. I got up ready to go towards her, when Sandro came right behind me.— Oh n

Desiree is goneThere were still two days left before I said goodbye to my mother. Everything seemed like an endless nightmare. Maybe the penny hadn't dropped yet, even hugging her warm but lifeless body, I still didn't accept her departure. Geane tried to talk to me the day before, but I didn't answer. After that, she sent me several messages saying she was sorry and whatever else that didn't matter to me. Now it was easy to say I was sorry, that you cared, but as long as my mother was alive, no one cared about her.I confess that a revolt totally took hold of me. I felt angry at the hospital for neglecting her, angry at Claudio, who worked so hard but couldn't afford good treatment for her, angry at Geane who always claimed to be my friend, but never was.Furthermore, I woke up this morning and the first person that came to my mind was her, my mother. Even though I had kissed Luke the night before, my sadness kept my thoughts from anything other than Desiree's death. How would I liv

Luke and Naldo were at the door waiting for my return.— She left – Naldo says, assuring me, and I believe.— What happened there? Luke asks.— I don't want to talk about it right now.I shut up again and went inside. I filled a glass with water and drank. Likewise, I needed to calm down. Not only that, but I had to deal with one thing at a time. First bury my mother, and then return to the nightmare called Rebeca.I leaned against her coffin again, and the memories came and went all the time, like darts. God at least gave me the privilege of saying goodbye to my mother. How many people couldn't have that chance? I remembered her cooking for me, my favorite food. The two of us watching movies together, the happiness on her face reading my book for the first time.Oh mother, how you will be missed. The truth was, I never got used to it, and as I caressed her still swollen hands, I saw the cemetery men approaching, saying they needed to close the coffin.The time for goodbye had arrived
Love in ruins Chapter thirty one
Luke is GonzaloAfter Aurora's mother's funeral, I was thinking about how bad her life was. There was so much chaos between the two of us that we didn't have time to talk about the kiss. But sometimes I was even grateful that this conversation didn't actually happen, I couldn't stay with Aurora, not while I was at war with my father.That day I kissed her, Sandro arrived saying that Gonzalo urgently needed to talk to me. He hadn't lied, but that conversation didn't happen that day.Gonzalo said he was busy, but would call me right away. And when I woke up this morning, the first voice I heard was his.Sandro shook my body and woke me up from the good dream I was having, but when I woke up, I didn't remember almost anything, just that Aurora was there.— Gonzalo on the phone – Sandro directed the device to me.I hadn't opened my eyes properly, I was still sleepy and didn't feel like talking to my dad, but it was a video call.“Pack your things, because you are going back to Rio de Jane

to farewellI didn't want Sandro following me that day, especially on what I was going to do. My apartment was on the second floor. I looked out the window, towards the street below, to make sure that if I fell, I would come out unharmed. It was too risky. There was no escaping through the window. But I knew that Sandro was interested in the neighbor who lived next door to me. So I made up a lie, so he could go there, and I could leave without him seeing me.— I need a favor – I stretched my neck out, looking at him, who, sitting on the floor in the hall, didn't look me in the eye – I need to go to the bathroom and there's no toilet paper.—I'm not going out to buy you toilet paper,– he growled.— I'm not going to ask you to do this – he said – ask the neighbor next door, and say it's for me.Sandro got up so fast that I even got scared.— Do you really want me to pass this shame? - he asked. — There won't be time to go there – I made a face – I'm too tight.— Do you swear? - he wide

The change of lifeAfter Luke left, I spent the entire afternoon thinking about him and everything he had said to me. In the painful farewell and the feeling I had that I wouldn't see him anytime soon. I thought about the secrets he was hiding and how dark his life could be, for him to act weird all the time.The next day, the hell of my life began.There was no marriage at all. That morning, that vixen was already packed and was waiting at the door of my house. I witnessed her enter the house which was my mother's through the front door and with a wide smile on her face, unable to say a single word. She would sleep in Desiree's bedroom, eat from the dishes Desiree held so dear, and live the life that was my mother's. I didn't know if I could endure this hell for long.Claudio continued in that work euphoria, while Rebeca, who was his boss, spent most of her time with her ass tucked into the couch at our house. How did my father get along with that kind of person? Every day I spent wi
