I felt tired. I felt like I was fighting a war that was beyond me, but I wasn't going to give up, I wasn't going to, when she needed me. So, I went back to my car to keep looking for her.
When I got out, I saw that there were some cameras on the wall and immediately, I stopped to take one of them and go to a store that will help me get some trace of her on the recordings."These cameras are complicated. It will take hours before I can find the recipient. When I find him, encrypting his access to the videos, it will be easier. But, everything takes time." says the girl with rather flashy glasses."I'll give you an original Rolex if you give me what I want in less than an hour." I say taking the watch from me and handing it to her "If you keep it, you'll have an amazing object, if you sell it, you can have a bigger store than this one. So, tell me, what do you plan to do?""Give me ten minutes and I'll do everything for you.""Thank you" I say as I walk back aOmnipresent NarratorTime is ticking as the ambulance drives to its destination. On the runway, Camilo and everyone else, walk on one side anxiously. They didn't know what was going on with the boys, but, it was clearly not a good thing, since they needed an ambulance to move."I'm going to go crazy if they don't get here soon." says Camilo."You're not the only one. But, we have to be patient. Distressing us more, is not going to help us" mutters Aninka pretending calm where she has none."It can't be possible for them to delay any longer. They already warned they would be here five minutes ago. Why haven't they arrived yet?" complains Michael.Sirens begin to wail and everyone focuses on a specific spot. That's when everyone falls silent. The ambulances stop near them and the doors open and out comes Daniel.They all sigh and run towards him, but, they stop when they pull out Sofia and Esteban quite injured."It can't be." whispers Aninka with he
Two weeks laterThe danger had passed and everyone could now visit Sofia and Esteban. The surprising thing was that none of them had woken up. So, the physical injuries had been healed in the best possible way, but they still had not woken up and for that, there was no medicine to help them open their eyes.Aninka was in charge of cleaning Sofia with the help of the nurses, while Esteban was being cleaned by Camilo and Michael, all in the hope of spending more time with them.They had to leave soon so as not to arouse suspicion. The doctors arrive on the scene to do the routine checkup and the boys get up looking for a possible positive answer."How is he doing, doctor?" asks Camilo."His conditions remain stable. The infection that his tests had shown, that has improved a bit. But his bones still need time to heal.>> However, you don't have to worry about that, that's what the screws and several plates are for, which were necessary for them to be better welded," informs the orthoped
Time passes and anguish invades everyone present. The main fear was that they would have to say goodbye to Sophia, and this fear was shared by all. No one cared about leaving or that Mr. Mordashov would find them, if not that Sofia would live.Especially Esteban, who would not accept being taken to his room, even though he had been waiting for more than five hours for answers about Sofia's health. And that was worrying for the doctors attending her case."Gentlemen, I understand that you must be worried about the patient, but, if you don't help convince Mr. Esteban to rest, you will be two serious people." says the doctor.Aninka, nods at the doctor's recommendation and walks towards her brother, but before she gets there, he denies."I'm not leaving until I know she's okay," Esteban comments."We must be strong, brother.""I find it surprising that you talk like that. When I wanted to go against you, she was there for you, when I was drunk because you were locked up or mistreated by
Two days laterAll cause for discussion had been forgotten. After the doctor's report, everyone had been frightened. He had not died, fortunately, but his condition was not improving much, to the point of going into intensive care.The good thing about all this was that, with their moods down and their worries sky-high, there was no interest in arguing about past mistakes. Nor, much less, were they interested in leaving. So, they all found themselves looking for the donor."Everything would be easier if I could just give him my pancreas." says Esteban."It won't do. Everyone here wants to give you our pancreas. But we are not compatible." answers Aninka "None of us are, and that's why we have to try harder, to do everything we can so that she will be well soon.""When can she be well?" asks Esteban and Camilo sighs deeply."What do you plan to do with that information?""I'm here because I don't know how she's doing. But, the moment I can see her awake and safe, there will be nothing
One week laterEveryone was constantly worried about Sofia. She, who had realized that her foot had been amputated, had stopped talking and only cried. If she was visited, she would not even ask to be left alone or even scream, and that was what worried everyone the most.Esteban had been discharged the day before and today, they would take Sofia to a normal room. So everyone was waiting outside the intensive care unit. They all looked anxious and that was because they didn't know what to do.They were happy because the infection had stopped and she was physically improving, plus they had gotten a pancreas donor and so she would be operated on tomorrow. Basically, things were going well for her, the only problem was emotional.Apparently, losing her foot had caused her to lose something as big as her will to live. The gurney with Sofia comes out and everyone approaches her to the point of moving the girl's stretcher themselves with a blank stare."Sofia, I'm so glad you're better. Fin
Everyone leaves in concern, but it is Daniel who leaves the room defeated, knowing that he can no longer hide the biggest mistake he made when he was younger. A mistake that hadn't taken as much from him as it took from Sofia and he didn't know how to make up for it."What are you going to do now, buddy?" asks Luka."I don't know. I knew this would happen, but, I didn't think it would be like this, let alone so soon. I wanted to..."What did you want to do? It's obvious that nothing you've done is going to matter to him." says Michael."Now you?" asks Viktor in annoyance."No, Viktor. Don't look at me as guilty. I don't mean this because I like to make Daniel feel bad.>> If not, because now we have a new problem with Sofia, for, if we are slow to talk to Daniel, he being our friend, what will happen to Sofia who has only known him for a few years?""Michael is right, Viktor" says Luka "If things were bad before, now it's going to be worse. Especially, because Daniel's father will fig
Esteban felt as around her, more than ten walls appeared isolating her from the rest of the world and knew that if she left, no one would be able to reach her. She would lock herself in her own pain as her brother said she had done after the accident. So, knowing she could hurt him, he advanced toward her and determinedly said:"Call it pity or whatever you think best, Sofia. But, if I must bring you your father's head as a sign that he has paid for all he did to you, I will.""You speak as if he had only hurt me.""I didn't matter, what matters to me is to destroy the one who harmed you, because no one touches what is mine and you, you are mine.""Esteban...""No, Sofia. If I was going to leave it was to make him pay for what he did to you and because I was afraid to stay and that would cause you more harm. But, I know you can't take any more damage. You've reached your limit and I think that's a good thing.""You're crazy.""We're not leaving, Sofia. You can say what you want, but w
The next dayAll chaos had ceased. Sofia, who did not agree to see Daniel, but was calmer. She knew that she could not continue to intoxicate her soul with resentment, when she was not exempt from blame.Because she had heard Camilo talk and that, it was true, each one of them, had guilt for something and it was that, perhaps, what kept them closer, like now. Where Aninka was helping to dress Sofia for surgery, while they all waited anxiously for that moment."Stop walking around so much, Camilo. You're going to make us dizzy" Luka complains and he sighs deeply sitting on one of the chairs in the waiting room."I don't want to bother you. It's just that I'm so desperate." justifies Camilo."We're all like this, but we need to stay calm. She needs to see us calm, so she can go in without worries." says Michael."Yes, Camilo, Daniel and Esteban, stop showing off like it's the end of the world, that's not going to help her." says Viktor and they look at each other, and then, feign calm.
