Cardiomyopathy.
It has cardiomyopathy.
The words of the nurse curled in my head. My tears flowed, uncontrollable.
- Stella, don't make this head. I'm here, right? It's not the end ... she said in a trembling voice.
Before I can answer, his mother entered.
-How could I have such a weak girl ... she launched with disdain.
I froze, anger rising in me like a burning wave.
-It's so ... attentive from you, I said sarcastically.
- Pay attention to your tone, young girl. It's between my daughter and me.
-Mother… I said, laughing gently, a laugh devoid of joy. Do you call it love? Do you call it taking care of her?
His gaze became freezing.
- Do you think it's easy to raise the same burden?
His words struck me like a slap.
- A burden? She is your daughter!
- Stop… murmured Mayora, his short breath. I don't want you to fight ...
But the more his voice trembled, the more my rage rose.
- She's your daughter! I shouted, my voice broken.
The machine's beep will accelerate. Mayora gained a hand to her chest, breathless.
- Mayora! I yelled, rushing to her.
The nurse switches to a storm.
- Get out, we master the situation.
I was frozen until his mother trained me outside.
-Why are you like that? I asked coldly. Why trample it as she fights to live?
She looked away.
- It's complicated ... I was not made to be a mother. And then ... she's not my daughter.
I stared at it, the breath cut.
- What do you mean, not your daughter?
She inspired deeply.
- Mayora is the daughter of my big sister. My sister, the perfect girl… sweet, shiny, adored by all. I was the ugly duckling. I loved him, really, really. But one day, I surprised her saying that she had mercy on me. These words destroyed me. Since then, every time I see Mayora, I have seen his reflection.
- So have you decided to take revenge on a ghost? I say, freezing.
She lowered her head.
- Yes ... I was stupid. Blinded by anger.
Her voice was trembling, broken.
- I wanted to take revenge on my sister. But she was not her ... She was never her.
I stared at it, my heart still in flames.
-So it's time to understand it, I whispered. And above all ... it's time to tell him.
His eyes moved away, full of fear.
