"Take it and give yourself a chance to remove your bandages." I offer the phone again.This time he does take it.It begins to play the video we had recorded a few hours ago. Esteban's stepmother immediately got up from her seat at the sound of his voice. But I refused to let her go near them. When I forcefully threw her onto the couch and whispered: "It's about time, they know your true face, so don't hurt yourself unnecessarily by trying to prevent it. Because today, even if I die in the attempt, I will let this family know the truth of all this and thanks to that justice will be done, murderer."That woman's eyes widen immensely, she knew perfectly well that what she was saying was true. My voice and threatening authority gave no room for doubt.I had done nothing so far, but now that I had decided to intervene, I wasn't going to let her spoil it. It wasn't just about showing evidence, it was also about doing justice."Who are you?" he asks intriguingly."A person who is out for j

My ankle hurts a lot, but right now that's not what worries me. I walk with the support of everything until I reach Esteban's father. I try to remember over and over again the first aid steps they taught me at the academy.I'm sweating profusely because of everything that has happened and what will surely happen if I don't remember the correct first aid steps. Viktor already called the ambulance, notifying me that he would be there in ten minutes. Minutes that Esteban's father may not have.Aninka is screaming her head off, clinging to her father.I ask for space and begin to perform the steps I could remember. He looks sweaty and a little cold. I put my ear close to his heart, noticing that it is not beating. Concern is palpable in the place.Without thinking twice, I begin to perform CPR.Fear is reflected in each of us. I am more than anyone else. Not because I have no clear knowledge of what I am doing. Since in the academy we were taught several times this first aid. What I am af

I walk as fast as I can to get closer to my friend."Why did this happen?" cried Aninka "Why did he have to die so soon?"Yes, she did die. I was not wrong, unfortunately I was not wrong."Aninka" he called out to her, but she doesn't listen to me, her wailing won't let her.Viktor looks at me as he hugs his girlfriend.I approach them both and fearfully place my hand on Aninka's back.I don't know how to act in these situations. There are times when no matter how much you think you'll be fine, you don't know how you'll react until you're in the situation.I have been fortunate enough not to have lost a family member. But I have experienced the death of loved ones, my boyfriend and friends who died in that accident that miraculously saved me.It was a hard blow. They were my anchor in this sea of regrets, struggles and at times joys.Although they were not people with whom I shared a blood tie, I felt them as part of me. Therefore, their death was a bitter pill to swallow that was dif

"Stay out of this, Sofia. It's none of your business.""It is if you're hurting Aninka. It is if you're wrong.""Your way of showing affection for my sister sucks.""I'm not just showing affection. I'm also showing support, which I'm sure you came here for anything but that."You're wrong about that. Now," Esteban says approaching me. I don't back away "Get lost from my sight, before I forget that you are a woman.In his voice I could tell he was no longer the guy who was sometimes decent to me. Now I can see a dark car that I didn't perceive or didn't have before.In front of me is the same guy with whom I have argued, conversed and even harassed 'because of Aninka'. But no matter how hard I try to look for that smart guy, I can't find him. Along with him disappeared the love for his family, for his sister.He passes by, approaching Aninka."Come with me," Esteban says to her, extending his hand for Aninka to take."What?" she asks confused.To tell the truth, we all are.Could it be

One month later.One month has passed since Aninka is part of our family. A month has passed since we last saw Esteban. A month ago her father died. A month ago he learned the truth of everything, as well as, a month ago Aninka lost everything. Above all, her freedom.For Aninka destiny had prepared a very strong test. This is to take the power that her father had before. Which is a complex test, because no matter how hard she tries, her real opponent is the stereotypes they have about women. One of them is that she is not qualified to be president of any company since she would be a mockery.Now, adding things against Aninka, there is also the small detail that she is a minor. Which complicates things even more. That is why, during this month Aninka has been in an exhaustive preparation for this position. Which complicates her schoolwork.It is incredible how a young woman like Aninka not only has to prove that she deserves the position and that it is not too big for her, but also th
