ANALIA JEAN

I am Analia, 30 years old, I consider myself a happily married woman since I was 15, together with my beloved husband who has accompanied me all these years.

We have a 15-year-old son, Angel, who is a boy similar to me, he has the energy and sympathy that he inherited from me, he is very attractive with blue eyes and dark blond hair, very tall for his age, and a 13-year-old girl, Lorena, quiet, would be like her father, she is not very tall, long dark hair and dark eyes, she is the image of her father, but in woman, even her rare blood type inherited, not like Angel who got my blood type.

We are a typical family with the last name conjugated both mine and my husband's, Jean Canepa, we live in a residential neighborhood, of low family houses, we are not millionaires, but that does not mean that we are not happy.

All the neighbors admire how loving we are to each other. My husband Fernando Canepa, is always willing to lend a hand to anyone who asks.

The other mothers of the school are delighted to see him always when he picks up his children, he is a very attractive man at 35 years old. I never felt jealous, because I always believed in my husband's love for me.

He was the one who insisted on getting married when I got pregnant with Angel, giving him the opportunity not to, I did not want him to feel obligated. But anyway, he swore eternal love to me.

His dedication to our family is admirable, being the only one who contributes, because I left my career as a teacher, when our second daughter arrived in our lives. But we are fine with that agreement, I take care of the things of the house, of always keeping everything in order, clean and the food on time for everyone.

My husband always told me that a mother should take care of her children, not strangers who would mistreat them, that he would contribute the money and I would take care of the others.

Although my work was not seen, I was the first to get up to prepare breakfast, my children's things, for them to go to school, take them and return to clean everything before they return, do the shopping, pay the bills and go to the bank.

Help my children with their homework, take them to their extracurricular classes, return to prepare dinner and I go to bed last, leaving everything ready for the next day.

As we were having money problems, my husband decided to do Uber in his spare time, to bring an extra income and that our children do not lose their extra classes.

I admired the dedication he had for us, so I started doing long distance work online, so I could put his grain of sand.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly, a typical family with common problems. Until one morning that seemed to be the same as all the others, with the children ready to go to school, saying goodbye to my husband who barely greeted me with a kiss, but I did not complain, he was like that, not very affectionate, it did not bother me, because he showed me that he loved us, for the comfortable life he gave us, he did not make us miss anything to anyone.

I take my children in my small car, I say goodbye with a kiss, warning that their father would pick them up.

I return to fulfill my usual tasks, by the way I wanted to enter to see if I received the payment for my remote work online, but my computer did not react and I realized that my husband forgot his laptop.

As he lent it to me before, I would have no problem using it.

When turning it on it had a password on it.

"How strange", I said.

He was not used to doing that.

I search among his things, until I find the agenda where he wrote down his things.

I discover what it was and I introduced it. I managed to turn it on.

"Great", I cheered.

I happily verified that the payment was deposited, I sigh relieved, with that I could collaborate in paying some things and who says we would go out to dinner as we have not done for a long time by not having a budget for it. That is what Fernando always told me.

Before turning off the laptop I notice that a message entered.

"Pick me up at the usual place"

Will it be a client?, I wonder remembering the other job, which was Uber, that my husband had, apart from the company where he worked.

"Remind me"

He wrote to him, so he would pass the information to my husband.

I notice that he took a while to respond until I received a location.

I send it to my phone, that way I would send it to my husband.

Just as I was about to write to him my cell phone rang, it was my son's teacher.

📱Hello. I answered.

📱Mrs. Analia... I'm sorry to bother you... Your husband does not answer... Angel has a fever... Can you pick him up. The teacher warned me worried.

📱I'm on my way. I answer him, cutting off the call.

I hurry to turn everything off, I arrange the laptop in its place, I take my bag, keys, my son's identification to take him to see, by his doctor.

I arrived in five minutes to the school, I ran to give notice of my arrival with the administrative so that they notify the teacher, I was annoyed by that type of bureaucracy, but that's how they handled it. After a while my son appeared next to the teacher.

He had a red face, shiny eyes, he was sweating cold.

"Treasure ... You're burning up... I'm taking you to the emergency room. I announce to him to lean on me."

"GET BETTER ANGEL... WE'LL SEE YOU SOON. The teacher said goodbye."

While my son was walking hanging from my neck, he tried to contact my husband, to warn him of the situation, without success.

"He does not answer... I'll take you to see and then I'll let him know. I tell Angel making him sit back reclined as he does not have so much energy and I pass him a bottle of cold water to take it or support on his forehead."

He only nodded without answering, he felt his throat dry and rough.

At the sanatorium the wait was long, there were many patients before us. Angel remained with his head resting on my lap, while I passed him the bottle of water to cool him.

My cell phone rang, I look for it in my bag hoping that it is my husband Fernando, but it was not so, this time it was the teacher of my daughter Lorena.

📱Mrs. Analia... Lorena is with colic... Her stomach hurts... Come for her. The teacher told me from the other side.

"THEY AGREED TO GET SICK", I thought nervously.

📱YOU CAN CALL MY HUSBAND... I AM WITH MY SON IN THE DOCTOR. I warn him.

📱Okay... I have his number. He answered me cutting off the call.

"Are you still the same treasure?... Your sister is also with stomach pain. I comment."

"It will be the one every month. He answers with a hoarse voice."

"No... It already came to her at the beginning of the month... It would be too soon. I tell him."

"Too much information." He replied with an annoyed gesture.

I kiss him on the forehead checking that he still has a fever.

My cell phone rang again.

📱Mrs. Analia... I spoke with your husband he is in a work meeting...He authorized Lorena to go home alone... As it is a few blocks away. The teacher told me.

📱She is in pain, she can not go alone... Wait... I'll see who can go to pick her up. He warned cutting off.

I search among my contacts the number of my brother-in-law, when finding it I call him and it gave me off.

On my side I had no relatives, I was an only child and my parents died a long time ago.

So I try with Fernando again.

"The teacher said that she attended to him", I remembered.

📱I'm busy. My husband answered reluctantly.

📱Lorena has colic. I clarified from the beginning, he always told me to get to the point.

📱It's nothing (He listens that he exhales heavily)... She can go home alone... Or you go to pick her up. He tells me curtly.

📱I'm at the doctor with Angel, he got a fever. He warned.

📱Okay I'll go... He said annoyed and cut off the call.

A few minutes passed and finally the doctor attended us.

"Champion... Getting taller and taller. His doctor of all his life who saw them born greets him."

"He has a fever. I warned him, he nodded checking him."

"It must be something viral, with the climate changes it is normal these days... That he takes this three times a day and this syrup every twelve hours... With that he will be fine. The doctor told me."

"What is it for doctor?. I ask."

"One for the fever and another for the throat... He has it very red with plaques... In a week he returns. He tells me."

"Thank you doctor. I say and Angel incorporates without wanting embraced again by my shoulder, he is taller than me, heavy, but a mother takes strength from wherever for her son."

"That he rest... And avoid cell phones. The doctor finally orders me."

In that my cell phone rang and I see that it is Lorena, it is seen that her father is looking for her, the teachers take out the cell phone and deliver it when they leave, so they do not get distracted in class.

📱Loren, treasure... Is your dad with you already?. I ask.

📱No (I hear her whimper, that agitated me more than I was)... He told me to lie to you, that he was looking for me and that I go home total were only a couple of blocks... But it hurts a lot, I can not walk. Listening to what my little one told me broke my heart.

Fernando encourages her to lie, how does he come up with it?

Surely he will have spoken to the administrative, she always says everything yes to him, she drools over my husband, and he takes advantage of it even if she does not correspond to him.

📱Stay where you are... Pass me your location and I'll go. I said cutting off.

"This is the last straw. I complain."

"You already know him, when he gets in work mode." Angel said with a hoarse voice in relation to his father.

I accommodate him in the car again behind and I hurry to get where Lorena's location marks me.

I arrived seeing my girl lying half of her body on a bench in the square, taking her stomach with her hand. She looked pale, with a painful expression.

"Treasure come. I take her by the arm taking her by my back, I could lift her like that, unlike Angel."

"It hurts a lot. She cries wetting my shoulder."

"I took you to the doctor. I announced sitting her next to me in the copilot part."

"Hey grain... What happened to you?. Angel says with affection to his sister."

"I'm not in the mood for jokes. Loren replies whimpering."

"You know I love you... I say it with affection. He tells her."

"I got the golden apple. Loren told him, they talk about the game they share together."

"Great... Then I'll trade you for the diamond I have." Angel replied.

We arrived at the doctor.

"We just saw each other. Said the doctor who was leaving."

"My girl is very sore... She can not move. I warned with a voice cut by the anguish and notorious despair in my face, pointing towards the car."

He looked over his glasses and immediately asked for a stretcher to be transferred.

Angel feeling a little better went down to accompany his sister who is terrified of doctors.

"Until here... Wait. They stopped us at the emergency door. We sat in the waiting room holding hands anguished for Loren."

After a while the doctor appeared with news.

"We did an ultrasound, she presents a mass in her ovary, which we must remove, for which blood transfusion is needed and in the bank of the sanatorium we do not have that type of her daughter, I know that her husband is of the same type, contact him so we can do the operation, that way we will save her. The doctor told me."

"A mass... What does it mean?." I asked anguished, the doctor looked at me fixed, and there I understood covering my mouth, denying frantically.

"Mrs. Jean Canepa... I heard she can be saved... Only the transfusion is needed. The doctor tells me touching my hand, I did not want to express it before Angel but I know that my son is not stupid, he is always informed of everything."

"She is a girl... How can it be possible?. I whimper trying to maintain control and I take my cell phone with trembling hands when wanting to contact my husband and he did not answer."

Desperation was present in every fiber of my body.

Anguish took hold of me, I tried a thousand times to contact my husband and I couldn't.

Then my cell phone rang, it was my brother-in-law.

📱Sister-in-law... I saw your missed call... I was in a meeting. Let me know.

📱Loren is hospitalized... They need to perform an operation and she needs blood donors... I can't locate Fernando. I tell him.

📱What?... I'll go to his company... Where are you?. He asks me.

📱At the sanatorium with Angel. I reply.

📱I'm going to see him at work... Don't worry... I would offer, but I've been drinking. He says with regret.

📱Ok... Let me know. I reply and hang up.

Then I remembered the location I received from that client, I checked and luckily the message indicated the time, I looked at my watch.

"Angel... Your father has that program that connects his devices. I ask him."

"Yes... Why?. He says to me."

"Let's go... I know where he might be... Let's go so we can reach him. I say grabbing my bag."

"What's wrong with Loren?. He asks me."

"She is being attended to by the doctor... Let's go find your father. I say hurriedly."

"Mrs. Analia. The doctor calls me."

"I'm going to look for my husband. I let him know."

"Very well... I'll wait for you." He replied.

I put the location in the GPS to guide me where my husband would be.

As we approached, I looked curiously to see if I could see his vehicle.

"Mom... There's his car. Angel points out."

"How lucky... He hasn't left." I said stopping and unbuckling my seatbelt to reach him before he leaves.

I see him get out of it and before I can shout his name I see a young girl who runs to meet him, embracing him and giving him an intense kiss on the lips.

That scene left me frozen.

"That's dad." Angel said astonished.

"I don't have time for this. I say swallowing the anger of what is revealed before my eyes."

"Mom... Are you okay. Angel asks me worried."

"Loren is what matters now. I tell Angel."

"They're leaving. Angel indicates to me."

"Let's follow them... We must stop them. I tell Angel."

Then my cell phone rings.

"Answer Angel... I'm driving. I ask him with a choked voice, swallowing the urge to cry."

My hands tremble with nerves, I hold the steering wheel tightly as if wanting to break it.

"Yes mom." He replied and put it on speaker.

📱SISTER-IN-LAW... THEY TOLD ME HE WENT TO A MEETING AT A RESTAURANT. My brother-in-law lets me know.

📱UNCLE... WE ARE FOLLOWING HIM... HE'S CHEATING ON MOM. Angel lets him know.

📱WHAT?. He asks astonished.

📱YOU KNOW HE WORKS AS AN UBER... HE HAD A MESSAGE FROM A PASSENGER... AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE HIS LOVER. Angel tells his uncle, I'm in disbelief.

📱WAIT WHERE YOU ARE... DON'T LET YOUR MOTHER DO ANYTHING CRAZY. He asks.

📱I'M GOING TO TELL HIM ABOUT LORENA... HER THING IS MORE IMPORTANT. I say finally being able to speak.

📱ARE YOU SURE THAT'S HOW IT IS?... DIDN'T YOU SEE WRONG. He asks doubting that his brother would do that.

📱UNCLE... I WAS A WITNESS TO THE THROAT EXAM HE GAVE THAT GIRL WITH HIS TONGUE... HE BARELY GIVES MOM ONE ON THE CHEEK. Angel tells him.

📱I'M LEAVING YOU. I said seeing the car stop.

I sighed deeply taking strength to get out of the vehicle and confront him.

"You have me mom... I'll go with you. Angel tells me."

"I wouldn't want you to witness it. I tell him."

"I'm going to go with you... I won't leave you alone. My child says surely and I saw in his eyes the disappointment he felt towards his father."

We got out of the vehicle and I noticed that they entered a restaurant holding hands like a couple, I couldn't believe it, my heart ached at such a scene.

Angel walked behind me as if attentive to me not fainting, the impressions usually produce that reaction, but now I had a mission, to take him to give blood for his daughter.

Upon entering the restaurant one who attended to me greets me kindly upon seeing me.

"GOOD MORNING... ARE YOU PART OF THE EL DORADO BUSINESS GROUP." He asked me, that was the company where my husband worked.

"THAT'S RIGHT." I replied lying.

"TAKE THIS IDENTIFIER... GO THAT WAY AND AT THE END YOU WILL SEE A ROOM... JUST SHOW THIS AND THEY WILL LET YOU PASS." He said to me.

"Thank you. I reply."

I see that Angel is given another one and we head towards where he indicated.

We arrived finding a huge room all decorated like a party. This didn't seem like a simple work meeting, but I remembered my husband's function, he was a Public Relations Advisor in his company, he was in charge of adding new investors to the company.

We spotted him at the end with that tall slender dark-haired girl, she was dark-skinned very attractive to tell the truth, I used to have that physique, but after having two children I maintain myself but I don't have the wasp waist that I used to have. She wore a short red fitted dress, showing off her toned legs and well-formed buttocks.

I felt my heart break more than it was when I heard what a man in a suit said when greeting him.

"HOW BEAUTIFUL YOUR WIFE IS, IF I JOIN YOU SO WILL MINE"

"EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE", my husband replied with a smile.

Wife?, I muttered distressed.

Angel took my hand as if giving me strength.

"HE IS A VERY FORTUNATE MAN FOR HAVING A WOMAN LIKE THAT", that man continued flattering.

"SHE IS THE LIGHT OF MY EYES", my husband said, he used to tell me that at first when he wanted to win me over.

I was a very intelligent girl, who managed to finish her studies before everyone else and entered the university being very young, that's when I met Fernando who won my heart with flattery and gifts, he had an easy way to talk, making me believe that he didn't want to have intimacy, being that that's what he was looking for.

I walked towards him with short steps, afraid of losing my balance, I was going through many strong emotions. I named him causing him to jump with surprise.

"FERNANDO."

He turned in slow motion, at first he looked with surprise and then his gaze changed as if he saw his worst enemy.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?. He shouted."

"I WAS COMING..."

"GO AWAY... YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE... YOU ONLY EMBARRASS ME WITH YOUR PRESENCE... GET OUT... STOP BOTHERING ME. He shouted in front of everyone causing the colors to rise to my face."

"LORENA..."

"STOP SHIELDING YOURSELF WITH YOUR CHILDREN FOR YOUR CLUMSINESS... LEAVE ME ALONE... YOU SUFFOCATE ME. He shouted."

"Is she his ex?. I heard someone ask."

"They cheat on you and want to come back. Said another."

"She wasn't the ex, but from now on I will be, I thought annoyed"

"I never cheated on him"

"He told lies about me"

"LET ME TELL YOU..."

I was trying to explain to him but his overbearing tone, like a rabid dog, covered up anything I tried to say.

"GET OUT!. He expressed taking me by the arm annoyed and throwing me outside, Angel was frozen by his father's abrupt reaction, I saw him confused not knowing what to do, he was a loving child, away from quarrels, he didn't know how to deal in a situation like that, we never exposed him to a situation like that."

"YOU MUST COME WITH ME LORENA NEEDS YOU. I managed to say shouting."

"I'M SORRY YOU FIND OUT LIKE THIS... BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN YOUR STANDARD OF LIVING YOU WILL TURN A BLIND EYE... SHE IS THE DIRECTOR OF MY AREA (He said pointing with his finger towards the interior)... WITH HER I WILL HAVE THE PROMOTION... I ONLY SACRIFICE FOR OUR FAMILY. Said the very shameless one."

"YOU INTRODUCE HER AS A WIFE." I said to him.

"LOOK AT HER... LOOK AT YOU... SHE IS THE KEY TO NEW INVESTORS... NOT EVEN THE FLIES WILL MARRY YOU." He said with disgust, pointing at my physiognomy.

I was about to insist again that he come with me for Loren when my cell phone rings, I felt the tears run down my face.

"FERNANDO... LISTEN TO ME... ONLY YOU CAN SAVE LORENA. I was saying looking for my cell phone to answer."

"I WILL SEND THEM TO THEIR STUDY TRIP." He replied.

"IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT... LET ME EXPLAIN... BUT YOU MUST COME NOW. I tell him"

"YOU ONLY WANT TO TIE ME TO YOU... DON'T BE SO DEPENDENT ANYMORE... FIND A JOB... DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE... YOU SPEND THE DAY SITTING SCRATCHING YOURSELF WITH TWO HANDS... YOU SQUEEZE ME UNTIL THE LAST CENT... YOU ARE VERY SELFISH... SINCE YOU ARE NOTHING, YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BE. He says with contempt shouting, as to humiliate me before strangers."

"IT'S NOT ABOUT ME... LOREN TOOK YOUR BLOOD TYPE AND..."

"THAT'S WHAT KEEPS YOU AWAKE... YOU WANT EVERYTHING TO BE LIKE YOU... YOU THINK YOU ARE A BIG DEAL AND YOU ARE JUST A SIMPLE HOUSEWIFE WITHOUT A FUTURE, WITHOUT A CAREER, WITHOUT FUTURE LIFE PROJECTS THAT INCLUDE A PROMOTION LIKE IT HAPPENS TO ME. He says with disgust in his gestures towards me."

"IT'S NOT THAT. (I say with a trembling voice, his words are like daggers that he pierces in my chest, being that I gave my life to satisfy him)"

"STOP INSISTING... YOU DON'T CONVINCE ME WITH YOUR WHINING... MATURE ONCE AND FOR ALL... MONEY DOESN'T FALL FROM TREES... WHILE YOU PLAY THE HAPPY LITTLE HOUSE I MUST DEAL WITH HOW TO PAY ALL THE EXPENSES THAT GENERATE ME. He concluded shouting wildly, and I saw how the saliva fell from his mouth, his face red with anger."

I never thought he hated me so much, I never thought we meant expenses for him, he broke my soul.

Angel approached extracting the cell phone from my purse seeing my desperate search and that because of the tears I couldn't see.

📱MRS. ANALIA. I heard the doctor's voice.

📱DOCTOR... I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE BLOOD... I ALREADY KNOW WHERE MY HUSBAND IS. I tell him thinking of insisting again.

📱YOU MUST COME SEE YOUR DAUGHTER. I heard him say in a high-pitched tone, that was not a good sign.

I headed to my car without moving the cell phone away from my ear.

"Let me drive... You're not okay. My son Angel tells me"

"Treasure you are not old enough. I tell him."

"I will evade the controls... Let's go... I don't want you to crash. He insists."

"Since when do you drive?. I ask him surprised."

"My friend taught me." He replied.

"We'll talk about that later. I tell him not liking the idea of him driving."

"But it's useful. He replies showing the keys he was going to drive."

I let him do it, he was right I was on edge, my head was throbbing, I felt like I was drowning in a torrent of pain.

The man to whom I gave my life, my time, my virtue, my future, for whom I would put my hands in the fire, whom I supported in every crazy project and sacrificed my own only for the good of our family despised me, humiliated me before those people.

I remembered when he bought the car.

*Flashback

He filled my head with problems that the money was not enough and we had to take out a millionaire loan only for food and pay some bills.

One night he showed up showing his luxurious car.

"Where did you get the money?." I asked him.

"The old one will be for you... This one is for me, I can work as Uber. He told me as a consolation."

"How did you pay for it?. I insisted again."

"With the loan. He told me as if nothing and took the kids for a ride."

He cheated on me taking me to the bank, he needed my signature as he was married, he made me believe that it was a loan to pay for food and it was to buy a car.

And now he used that car to go around with his lover, who knows if the Uber thing is true, maybe he invented it to justify his outings, now I was starting to fit the pieces of the puzzle.

And as I blindly trusted him, I didn't notice if what he said was true or not, I never bothered to look in the application if he was part of that.

(End of Flashback)

"We arrived mom. My child called my attention, who had a smile for having driven."

"Thank you treasure... You have done well." I said and he made a winner's fist gesture.

Upon entering I see the face of the doctor who receives me.

"Come with me to see your girl. He told me and together with Angel we went."

"Hey grain... You look good." He said seeing her awake, she barely stretched out her hand and he took it, just like me on the other side.

I felt her cold, sweaty. I placed a kiss on her forehead and so did Angel.

She slowly faded, closed her eyes and gave a last sigh, my little girl stopped breathing.

I threw myself on her crying desperately, begging her to wake up.

"LOREN... NO... TREASURE WAKE UP... YOU ARE STRONG... MY GIRL... NO!!"

I shake her wanting to wake her up, Angel puts his hand on my shoulder pulling me towards him, we hug crying.

"Mrs. Analia... She told me that she had hit herself in gymnastics... One of her classmates pushed her... And she fell badly... She didn't want to tell at the time... So as not to cause problems... That caused what she had to wake up... If only we had the blood... I'm sorry. Said the doctor who saw her grow up, embarrassed, I noticed that his lip was trembling wanting to contain the emotion."

I approached him to hug him.

"I know you did everything in your power. I whisper to him."

"MY FATHER IS TO BLAME... IF HE HAD NOT BEEN WITH THAT OTHER WOMAN... HE WOULD BE SAVING LORENA... HE IS THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME. Angel shouts angrily."

"Treasure... Don't get upset... He is responsible for his actions... We did what we could... We shouldn't get upset about what he does. I told him to calm him down."

"BECAUSE OF HIM I WAS LEFT WITHOUT A SISTER... YOU DON'T SEE IT... BUT HE DOESN'T DESERVE US TO HAVE CONSIDERATION FOR HIM. Said Angel angrily."

After a while I see my brother-in-law enter desperately.

"I CAN DONATE... TWENTY-FOUR HOURS HAVE PASSED SINCE I TOOK IT. He announced."

I approached him to hug him.

"I INVESTIGATED AND..."

He was telling me but I shook my head.

"It can't be done anymore. I say to him, pointing towards Loren who was lying in bed."

He approached taking her hand, knelt next to her bed.

"NO?!... MY LITTLE NIECE... NO. He shouted anxiously."

"Are you a relative. The doctor asks, who remained in a corner."

"I'm the brother-in-law. He clarifies."

"You must complete some papers... I know it's not the time... But you must pay for the hospitalization. The doctor clarifies."

"The health insurance covers it." I said with tears in my eyes.

"According to my report... The health insurance has restricted its benefits to your family for not paying the last installments. The doctor comments to me."

"Fernando took care of that. I sigh heavily holding my head."

"HE SURELY PAYS THE EXPENSES OF HIS LOVER. Said Angel angrily."

"You must leave... We will take the body to the morgue to have it prepared. The doctor announced."

I exhaled heavily, Fernando lied to me that he paid the fee without fail, but at the same time I remembered that he told me to cure colds and scrapes at home, that it should only be used in a real emergency. This was an emergency and it could not be used even because it was not paid.

"Angel, I understand that you are angry. My brother-in-law was saying to his nephew and Angel takes out his cell phone showing him."

He had the habit of filming everything, he was always with the camera on, from his cell phone.

He used to say that some of the things he filmed, one day would make him famous.

"That's how he treats Mom. Angel told his uncle."

My brother-in-law sighed deeply when he saw the video.

"It's very sad... Don't upload that. My brother-in-law asked him."

"Of course... How will they know what class he is... He always sends himself out as good and that others are bad. Angel replies."

"Sister-in-law... Do you allow it. He asks me."

"I don't have the head to deal with that... I just lost my little one. I reminded him with pain."

My brother-in-law sighed heavily, he couldn't believe that his brother behaved like that, he was the oldest and he had admiration for him.

"It seems that you never finish knowing someone no matter how much you grow up with him." He said reflecting.

I filled out the forms and paid everything they asked me for, luckily I had that backup fund.

"THIS IS INCREDIBLE ANALIA... FOR A SIMPLE STOMACH ACHE YOU MAKE SUCH A MESS. Fernando appeared fuming."

"SINCE WHEN DON'T YOU PAY THE PREPAID." I said looking at him seriously.

"I'M LATE ONE OR TWO INSTALLMENTS... BUT I'M GOING TO PAY THAT... WHAT'S SO URGENT... YOU ALWAYS MAKE A STORM IN A GLASS OF WATER... YOU'RE VERY EXAGGERATED FOR ANY SCRATCH... YOU JUST WANT TO CALL ATTENTION... MY BOSS CALLED ME TO COME SEE MY DAUGHTER... YOU BOTHER MY BROTHER... I ALREADY TOLD YOU NOT TO BOTHER THE FAMILY. He shouts at me frantically."

"IF IT BOTHERS YOU SO MUCH TO LEAVE YOUR LOVER, GO BACK WITH HER... I WON'T BE A PROBLEM FOR YOU ANYMORE." I replied feeling hurt by his statements.

"YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ME... STOP THE HYSTERIA... WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?... YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO ANYTHING... I ALREADY TOLD YOU WHY I DO IT. He keeps insulting me."

"Mrs. Analia... These are your daughter's things... If you want to bring some clothes... Give them to me to give to those in the morgue. The doctor informs me."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?. Fernando shouted."

"MY LITTLE GIRL DIED... YOU DIDN'T WANT TO COME TO DONATE BLOOD... YOU HUMILIATED ME... INSULTED ME... YOU DISDAINED MY CONCERN... THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS. I shouted crossing next to him to go look for what the doctor asked me for."

"THAT'S A LIE... THEY ALL ARMED THIS BECAUSE YOU SAW ME WITH ANOTHER... IS THAT IT. He shouts following me."

"IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU... STOP BELIEVING THAT EVERYTHING REVOLVES AROUND YOU... I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HEARD... LORENA DIED. I shouted with pain."

"YOU LEND YOURSELF TO THIS." He said seeing his younger brother.

My brother-in-law turned around giving him a punch.

"YOU DON'T DESERVE THEM AS A FAMILY... YOU'RE TRASH... YOU DON'T RESPECT THE MEMORY OF YOUR DAUGHTER... YOU INSULT YOUR WIFE... SHE PLEADED WITH YOU AND YOU ONLY DENIGRATED HER BEFORE EVERYONE, WITHOUT CARING ABOUT YOUR OWN DAUGHTER." He said angrily leaving him lying on the floor touching his face.

"THAT'S THEIR FAULT... IF SHE WASN'T SO EXAGGERATED IN EVERYTHING I WOULD HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO HER. He defended himself, without recognizing his fault, as always someone else is to blame and he is a poor dove."

"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT... YOU WERE ANGRY TO BE DISCOVERED... THE SERVANT IS OVER." I said for the last time starting the car.

"YOU WON'T HAVE ANYTHING FROM MY POCKET. He shouted for the last time seeing me drive away in the car."

Arriving home, we entered with Angel in silence, he took one of his sister's games that he always saw her concentrated on that one, for him it was something simple, but she loved to play that game of stacking bricks building a wall.

"How can I help you?. My brother-in-law appeared behind me."

I dried my tears.

"I'm going to look for a dress. I was saying and Angel jumped to tell me."

"She hated dresses."

"Okay... Show me what you think she would like. I ask him to make him part of the election."

He accompanied me to the room and took out dark leggings and a blouse.

"They were her favorites." He said.

I observed the clothes he chose, she always liked to wear them.

"Okay... We'll take her that." I replied looking for a bag to store.

"I can't believe it's true. Angel says and I hear a knock on the door."

I go to see and it's one of Lorena's friends.

"I saw Angel's publication... Is it true?." She asked anxiously.

"Yes Lisa... Our grain is gone. Angel told her when he saw her."

"But we talked this morning." She said anxiously.

"It's also hard for me to believe. Angel told her hugging her."

Behind her appeared her brother friend of Angel.

"Man... I can't believe it." He said hugging him.

"We must go. I warn Angel."

"We stay in contact. Angel told his friends."

"Allow me to drive. My brother-in-law said taking the bag, he didn't see me well, the truth is I wasn't well, I walk in automatic mode, as if my movements were programmed."

We arrived at the sanatorium, I see that Fernando was still sitting in the waiting room and the doctor in front of him explaining everything.

Fernando hit the chair with his fist, he got up holding his head.

"Doctor." I said handing him the bag.

"ANALIA... I'M SORRY... I'M A BRUTE... TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AND I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU. Fernando tells me as if with gifts he would solve everything."

"Give me back my daughter." I replied.

"I can't do that. He told me."

"Then you have nothing I want. I told him."

"It's not time to talk about us... Let's take care of this... We'll talk later. He tells me."

"I want you to take all your things." I said without hesitation.

"I know you're hurt... And you say it without thinking... We'll talk later." He said wanting to touch my shoulder and I retired.

I didn't want to see him, I couldn't stand him, he was very hypocritical to believe that by speaking kindly and gifts he would cover up all the damage he caused.

"We don't want you in our lives anymore. Angel told him pulling me away from Fernando."

"When you have to go to university you will love me. Fernando told him."

"The judge will impose it." Angel replied.

"You're not serious... Right now... You know how much a divorce costs... You won't want to go down that road... I know you'll regret it... And once you cross that line... You won't know anything about me anymore. Fernando told me."

"You swear that I will never hear from you again... Just tell me where to sign." I said seriously.

My brother-in-law helped me with the paperwork for the registration and the wake, he put it out of his pocket and Angel got help from all his friends, even Lorena's classmates collaborated.

It was a procession of people coming and going in that funeral room. She was a very loved girl by everyone.

We had her body cremated, once everyone said goodbye to her remains, no one wanted to leave without seeing her for the last time. She seemed to be sleeping, with her angel face.

I didn't move from that place as if waiting for a miracle, that she would get up and everything is fine.

I observed Fernando who was talking to everyone, but he did not approach where his daughter was.

"Ma... You must take something... Let's go eat. Angel pushes me."

"Thank you treasure... I'm not hungry." I replied without wanting to.

"You must be strong... You can't live on air. He tells me reminding me of the phrase I always tell him when he spends so much time on his cell phone."

"You will be contacted to pick up the ashes. Someone from the funeral home communicated to me."

"Let's go ma. Angel took me by the arms taking me from there."

"Dear... I'll take you. Fernando wanted to show himself empathetic. I moved away from him without answering him."

"Analia... See you at home. He continued in his talk."

I didn't want to say anything at that moment, I turned to look at him.

"After what you did I don't want to see you again. I clarified."

"ANA. He shouted."

Angel turned to look at his father

"GO BACK WITH YOUR WHORE FOR WHOM YOU LET LORENA DIE." He said hurt.

Fernando looked at his son without being able to answer, what could he say, if it was true, he did not care about his daughter, he only wanted to denigrate me, to have the reason he as always.

Everyone saw a good and empathetic man. Only we knew his bad side.

Now I was beginning to realize that the times he put on a scene showing himself upset about anything and left, it was surely to see his lover. Within a few hours he would return with a smile and gifts for everyone.

He used to justify it by saying that it was due to the pressure of work, due to the economy, because the planets aligned. I always justified him, believing that he loved us and that he did everything for our good. He only showed himself to others, while he subjected us in his world where only his word was worth.

The times I raised my ideas to collaborate with the economy of the house, he took the job of trampling and belittling them.

"I can put up a pastry sale". I proposed as I was very good at making sweet things, I had a pastry certificate that I made one summer.

"They will die of poisoning and they will sue us," was his answer

"I can make the decorations and everything they need for a birthday or celebration," was another idea as I am good at crafts.

"They want on an exact date, not for the year of the grandpa", he made fun of me by insinuating that it took me a long time to do something.

He only wanted us to depend on him, that he be venerated, he never really cared about us, he only seeks to have subjected unconditional worshippers, because that's what he considered us.

Now I could see things more clearly, after 15 years.
