My whole body ached and I needed to take something to continue with what awaited me. I fell asleep again, but after a while I woke up to get up and saw that Mr. Lund was no longer by my side.I got up and went to the room to get the injections, then Mr. Lund came out to meet me with a tray bringing food.- Good morning - he said - How did you wake up?- Good morning, sore but fine.- I will look for some painkillers to make the pain go away.- No need, I have some injections in what is my temporary room, so I will inject myself.- By yourself? - he said to me almost with his eyes out - if you want I can do it.- It is not necessary, I can inject myself.I went into my room; however, Mr. Lund came in behind me, I prepared the injection and he was so insistent on injecting me that I finally agreed.- Do you know how to inject," I asked.- Yes," he said half-confidently.- Are you sure?- Yes - he told me in the same way.- Let's see, tell me where you are going to put the needle.- In t

- Your share is deposited in that account.When I opened the card, I was surprised by the amount, thanked and was about to leave, but Lia stopped me.- I just want to ask you something - he said - Was he gentle with you or rough?- He was gentle and understanding to an incredible extent - I replied - my first sexual experience was different, I do not deny it, however, it did not traumatize me.- I'm glad to hear that," he said, smiling, "It was nice doing business with you.I nodded and left the agency. Before going to the hotel, I stopped by the bank and took out the cash I would need to pay for the hotel and also the other expenses, including Lina's share.- I need to take out a large amount - I told the cashier.- How much are you going to get? - I wondered, looking at the passbook in amazement.- Give me paper and pencil to write down the amount.She handed me paper and pencil, so I wrote down what I thought was enough. When I returned the items to her, she was very surprised.- I

- You can't do this to me Lucia, I have nowhere to go," he said, "I am your mother, don't forget that.- ¿Y? That's not my problem Lina, it's yours - I told her coldly - don't make me lose what little patience I have for you.- I am your mother - she repeated - you owe me your life.I started to laugh and got up from where I was sitting to approach her, who backed away due to the fear she was prey to.- You are not my mother, you just gave birth to me. There is a huge difference between both things - I told her serenely - you never served neither as a daughter, nor as a mother nor as a human being, you were always a shit and you come to play the victim. The only good thing that came out of you was me, and for this that with time you turned me into a person without a soul, what is happening to you is what you sowed and you are finally reaping it.I sat back in my seat and when I looked at her, I arched an eyebrow. I hated repeating things, but hey, what can you do.- Get out of my hous

-Is this the house you bought," he asked, looking around, "if so, let me tell you it's beautiful.-Yes, the owners vacated it in three days, as they needed to go on a trip and were practically giving it away at a good price.- I see - he said - Where am I going to sleep?- Wherever you want, the house has 5 bedrooms and in each one there is a bathroom except for the maid's room.She left and chose a room, I chose the one next to it and, while unpacking, I took out the rose that Mr. Lund had given me. I did not like this type of flower; however, this present was different. I placed it on the bedside table I had, since the house was sold to me furnished.I was unpacking when the little girl arrived and looked at the rose in admiration, with so much stuff I didn't have time to show it to her.- And this rose - he asked me and I started to laugh - Why are you laughing?- I'm sorry, but it sounded so Guadalupe pink that I couldn't help but laugh.We both started laughing and once we calmed

I went to the lawyer who did my university papers to authenticate my diplomas and then I went to the national registry in the capital to register them. All this I did with my car and it was easier to get around, although I was always asking for directions, since I don't know this place well.I went looking for jobs at the various hospitals where I left my resume and so I went around to various places to see where they needed to hire a licensed critical care specialist. I went to see the house and the progress I was making. When I got out of the car I was surprised, because I was very advanced. The architect approached me calmly as he looked at the infrastructure.- Do you like it?I nodded and smiled, I went inside where there was absolutely nothing because all the stuff was moved to a storage room.- When will it be ready - I asked and he told me the beginning of next month - very well, give me your number so we can be in contact.We exchanged numbers and then I left, when I got home

-Perfect," he replied, "I'll go get some things.- Okay, I will do the same.I tucked my bathing suit under my clothes and enlisted a change. I took my wallet and my cell phone to take pictures of the sunset. We went to the sea and when we arrived we were well attended by the owner of the place, we ordered and ate enough and even managed to bring food.- Do you like it - I asked her and she nodded - you know that when you want to go out you just have to tell me to do so.Dusk came and I ended up taking the little girl's hand for a walk along the shore of the beach. Doing this reminded me of Mr. Lund even though I knew from the beginning that our meeting would be as fleeting as a star. I really enjoyed being by his side for those two weeks.- How much do you think to smile like that," I wondered curiously.- I told her laughing - I asked you to marry me so many times, but you said no, supposedly because of adultery and that I'm younger than you - she got annoyed - only small things - I

I told the salesman the brand I wanted and then went to the jeep. I drove to the sea, where I started smoking while crying. I only did this when I was frustrated, because in a way, ironically, it gave me a break.Since I had not touched a cigarette for many years, I began to cough, but this disappeared after the fourth cigarette consumed. My cell phone began to ring and I saw that it was the house, I didn't want to answer it; however, I didn't want to worry the little girl any more.- Leave me alone - I told her - go to sleep, she's not here yet.I hung up and I could hear her affected, I didn't want to leave just like that to go home, besides I considered it necessary that there was a space for my anger to go down. I didn't like to argue with her; however, when she was like that, I couldn't remain indifferent and let everything go easily.I smoked until I finished the box of cigarettes, got up and began to take off my clothes to enter the water. A chill ran through my body as I felt

After a while the dough was ready and I filled it and then put the bread in the oven.- Shall we go to the pool," I asked the short girl and she nodded, "I'll go to my room to put on a bathing suit.I went to the bedroom and from there I took out the bathing suit I had. I needed to get some use out of it, otherwise it would deteriorate. I took a towel and we went to the pool. The little girl stayed on the shore, but I went in and wanted to swim.- I want to learn to swim - I told him - at least I know how to float.- It's easy to swim, just move your arms and legs in sync and you'll see how you do it.I tried to do it and although I made progress, I gave up very quickly, went to the shore and started talking to the little girl.- Who will it be?They had rung the doorbell, so I got out of the pool and went to the street, put my towel on and opened the door.- What are you doing here?The smile I was wearing was erased when I looked at Carlos at the door. The little girl came out behin
