CHAPTER 38: STORM
Marcus and Sengei helped me push through the crowd of reporters who were slanted at the hospital entrance. Camera flashes fell on me anyway, constant calls asking questions, wanting to know everything. In the despair that captured my soul, I strode to the reception, far from the mist outside but closer to knowing in detail what was happening with Ismail.The brunette over there, seemed to recognize me, in any case she seemed obfuscated with the commotion outside, she looked at me, tying everything up. Probably, understanding that the press commotion also involved me. It shouldn't have surprised me, after all, our “forbidden” relationship continued to be talked about in the media, as if it were the daily bread.She kindly tried to calm my agitation; Marcus still hadn't left my side."Please, I need you to tell me how he is" I asked urgently, through tears that would not stop."She's asking for Mr. Al-Murabarak" the bodyguard explained, taking charge of me. I couldn't calm down, even if
CHAPTER 39: AFTER
Sengei decided to stay at the hospital while Marcus walked me to the car where Hank was waiting for me. Fortunately, the noise of journalists vanished as if by magic, their proximity being actually restricted by the police, as one of the bodyguards explained to me. I didn't pay much attention. During the way I was absorbed in lurid thoughts, the fateful thing that took away my oxygen and opened up the most hidden fears that I never felt this beastly.The golden hour of the day was leaving with maddening slowness.While Kelly had taken the children out to eat, the loneliness intensified inside the apartment. I headed to his room at the speed of light. In his dressing room I took what was necessary, I hurried. After I showered and dressed, I left a message for my friend that I was going back to the hospital, so I asked her to stay with the children until I got back.Her response was immediate, she would take care of them.As the doctor promised, I saw Ismail again. This time, I found hi
CHAPTER 40: GRIZZLY PANORAMA
I knocked twice on Dr. Evanson's door. I waited for your pass, upon receiving it I entered your office at the exact time you indicated. My palms sweated, my heart in its box leaped with ferocity; a rush twisted my insides when I settled under his indecipherable gaze.“Which is the diagnosis? Tell me please”“Mariane, how have you been?”“Wrong, I couldn't have been any other way, what does Ismail have? No more detours, doctor" I implored.“Smith has not arrived yet, he will explain everything to you. For my part, I can inform you that he is recovering well from the injury, and I am very surprised that he is progressing quickly”"I'm glad to hear it, it's comforting news.""Miss Lombardi" they called me.I turned around finding another man in a white coat, but younger than Marc. I nodded without recognizing him, I looked at Evanson.“He's the doctor who handles Ismail's case” He approached, offering me a hand, which I accepted receiving a careful shake.“That's how it is. Tony Smith, p
CHAPTER 41: FAREWELL
“Oh Mariané, there is also a chance that it will be successful, I understand that it is in the best hands in the country. Don't give up, he needs you to support him in this process, the children need you, you can't break down, Mariané. Nothing is lost” He caressed my back, moving his palm up and down lovingly. And I won't leave you, friend."I'm scared, terribly" I confessed, sitting in an Indian position on the bed.She made a place for herself on the edge, drawing a deep breath on the spot. I looked at her with the same uneasiness that gripped me."I'm scared, I don't want to lose him, Kelly" I repeated in a thread, nervous. I can't stop thinking that they'll be operating on Monday. We have many things to live for, it is not fair that now when we began to walk together, a stone crossed our path, it seems that everything we have had to face is not enough.“And there will be many moments that you will share with him. Ismail is strong, he will be able to handle this and much more if yo
CHAPTER 42: TASTE A FAREWELL
I looked everywhere for Lizzy, worried that I wouldn't see her in her room. I called her for the fifth time, nothing, she didn't answer my calls. I asked Isaac about it, but got no answer. My own son ignored me."I'm talking to you, Isaac”"I just haven't seen her, I don't know where she could be" he shrugged."Hey, I need to talk to both of you”“Mommy? I turned and found Kelly with little Lizzy holding her hand, she had a pink balloon”Then I remembered everything, my friend had taken her for a walk in the morning. How could I forget? I suppose that everything that happened around Ismail overwhelmed me. Knowing to see her healthy, I exhaled and approached her receiving her tender hug."Look, Aunt Kelly bought me a nice balloon" she commented excitedly, giving me the sweetest little smile, I've ever seen. I caressed her plump cheeks."It's beautiful, princess. Did you thank Aunt Kelly?”“Yes I told her already. He also bought me a delicious chocolate ice cream” he added, looking at h
CHAPTER 43: DREAMED
"By the way, how's your pregnancy going?" Brenda asked.“Everything perfect, I am very happy that you are happy. And continue with the preparations for the wedding" I added a little nostalgically.She agreed, commenting that she was quite a cheerful girl, daring to say that she reminded her of the irreverent Marina. I agreed with what he said.Another of the things that was going around in my head was thinking that the idea of marrying Ismail had become distant, impossible to achieve, or just for the moment it was cut short, despite the fact that he had never asked me to. Now that everything had been dyed black, the possibility of dressing in white and reaching the altar was camouflaged in the dark.At the hospital, Brenda stayed in the waiting room, urging me to go in first with the children. I told him he could go with us, but he refused. In the end she stayed with Marcus at her side. I did not insist. Sengei appeared on our way, we greeted each other. After speaking with Evanson, w
CHAPTER 44: FLOG
On the way home, we stopped at McDonald's, ordered takeout, all at the request of little Lizzy. My son wasn't that into junk food, but ever since he went to the place with Aaron once, he's become more flexible when it comes to agreeing to eat a delicious burger, not to mention the fries with ketchup. All of that I ordered, and soft drinks too.But before we left the place I had a craving for one of those sundaes, and I bought it for everyone, including Hank and Marcus, who were with us.…To distract myself for the rest of the afternoon, I began to spray the flowers with the atomizer. Although it seems strange that the man addicted to crystals, art and business, would be even a little interested in flower plants. My helper, little Lizzy followed suit, taking care of the pretty pink flower. I congratulated her on her work, she looked at me smiling, wearing yellow glasses.I wondered what Isaac was doing at that time, before he used to do his school assignments, now that the school year
CHAPTER 45: DARKNESS
The day flew by, at nightfall I went through the girl's bedroom. I peeked out a bit, I caught a glimpse of Brenda in bed with Lizzy; He attended with a lively smile on his face, while she told him a story like the night before. I was going to kiss her good night, and I preferred to leave them alone. Instead, I headed to the room Isaac was occupying. Along the way I stopped dead when I heard my cell phone ring.I didn't know who could be calling at that hour. Maybe Kelly who never showed up at the hospital. In any case I unlocked the screen, finding out it was just an unknown sender.-Yeah? I answered, frowning."This is Alexa," he said suddenly, just like that. Two seconds later my brain remembered the blonde with the lips of pinion, the tight dress and blue eyes.What the hell was he doing calling me? And the biggest unknown, how could he find my phone number?Uncertainty ran through me in the form of chills."Alexa?""I said s" he blurted out. I could almost swear that I had said it
