The next day.Aninka and I find ourselves leaving the school. She walks beside me entwining my left arm with hers.She is so excited it's pouring out of her pores. Many times I had come up with a thousand ways to get out of this arranged marriage, but nothing I did worked."I'm counting down the minutes until I can take action" she smiles "With your great idea, not only will I be able to get out of that failed marriage, but I'll be able to too" she says and then jumps up and down in front of me. I'll act like a spy," he says and then jumps in front of me.Ah, those were spy moves.I cover my face in embarrassment as I notice how the exiting students stare at us in amusement. It's an embarrassment what I'm going through.I pull Aninka, to prevent her from continuing with her madness. But I don't even take two steps with her when someone pulls hard on my free arm."What the...!" I leave the word in the air when I see who was the person who pulls me "And now what do you want Daniel?" I a
"Forgive me for saying so, but your brother is stupid," I say breaking the silence that formed." I know he's stupid by nature. But him not coming to get his hands dirty in this issue. It gives a lot to think about.""I know. and I apologized for him" says an embarrassed Aninka."Don't apologize for him. It's not necessary. Now we have to concentrate on what's important."Aninka nods. But a person clearing his throat reminds us that we are not alone."Aren't you going to present?" asks a cheerful JuJu.I roll my eyes. This guy already has his eyes on Aninka. A girl who is already head over heels in love with her "boyfriend" and has a "fiancé" on top of that.In short, JuJu noticed a girl who has an unenviable love life.He tapped her shoulder gently. That's my cue for him to give up."Sure. Meet...""Her best friend, Aninka Bogdanov, I'm in..." says Aninka cheerfully.Wow. Her shyness is gone."Aninka the long introductions for later. Now only your name is important and you already sai
How the fuck am I here? No, I know how I am. I change my question. How do I get out of all this trouble that I shouldn't be involved in? Anyway. I'm already in it, I can't get out of it that easy.I walk through the gates of the Bogdanov house, with Stephen holding my hand and Aninka behind us."Father, we're here.""I'm in the living room, my son."We walked toward it. Finding in it the gentleman I had previously bumped into when I burst in. I lower my gaze at once.I'm sure I'm blushing to the core. Trying to be reckless is one thing, but getting caught red-handed and running into him is another matter."Go ahead, little girl. Don't be embarrassed. We've met before and I know you're not a bad girl. Besides, judging from what I see, you're not only my daughter's friend, but my son's girlfriend. Therefore, you're family."He raised his head immediately paling."That's not it" I say letting go of the hand Esteban was holding, to deny with both of them such a statement.Esteban's father
How blind can Esteban's father be to harm his own children for a woman? Is his love for that lady so great? If so, can love make us so blind?If so, I don't want to fall in love.A noise breaks the silence. Someone opens the dead door."I'm home."Esteban smiles slyly. This is not a sweet smile, on the contrary, it is a smile full of pure hatred and resentment. I don't know if it's towards his stepmother who has just arrived or towards his father for acting so badly.Esteban leaves the room, a few seconds later we hear moans that gradually get louder. Neither Esteban's father nor I move. We both know what is happening.Esteban, who was holding his stepmother tightly by the arm, throws her to the floor. She falls abruptly to the ground."What the fuck is wrong with you!!! So bad and I raised you to mistreat a woman this way!!!" he shouts angrily trying to grab his wife, but Esteban doesn't allow it."No, you didn't raise me wrong to the point of mistreating a woman, but she deserves su
"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
Esteban's stepmother just looks at me smiling. The bitch smiles at me."Don't you see how much we've missed?" asks Aninka in a whisper.Her face looks swollen from crying so much."Are you seriously planning to continue protecting this murderer over us?" she states wounded.I open my eyes at such a statement and I'm sure I'm not the only one.I knew what Aninka was talking about, as while we were on our way here, we received 'actually Aninka received it' information of a murder caused by Esteban's stepmother towards the youngest son of this family. Although it was from a reliable source 'Viktor' catechisms of solid evidence. So Aninka and I dismissed such an idea.But now, with the CD Aninka holds in her hand and the pain on her face, I can deduce that there is something she knows."What are you talking about?" asks Esteban.Aninka doesn't answer, just goes to the DVD in the living room and inserts the CD.An image of a little boy hiding the camera among his toys. Then she whispers"I
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
"No. I don't care what you're doing or what you're into. Right now the only thing that's important to me is your health and safety, which you've put aside for who knows what stupidity." says David angrily as he drives.My brother tends to be overprotective when he gets bitten by the bug. It's just at those times when it gets to an unbearable level."It's important. Esteban's father gave him a heart attack. That's why, to be left alone at Esteban's house."David sighs heavily and then says, "I understand it's serious, but that's not your business.""David!""No, Sofia. You've always shown yourself to be independent, capable and intelligent. But the latter goes in the wastebasket when you get the urge to be wonder woman."You always think that with your wit you can overcome everything that is set before you. But you don't. I know I call you wonder woman when you're at this stage where you think you can solve everything with your own hands. But that doesn't mean you really are."David pl
