Chapter 26: Chapter 26
The secrets they hide in a single drawer
"You're fine. Why are you screaming, does something hurt?" Alonzo asks.
—I had a horrible dream I was drowning with water, then fire, it was horrible, I saw a woman try to save me, and I'm bad, I don't like water or fire, I'm scared, tell me that everything will be fine, it still hurts my head, ”he says sadly.
"Easy, everything will be fine, just breathe and try to sleep please, calm down and breathe while I count to ten," he says with a sigh.
"Ok, I think it's for the best," Katherine says putting her head on the pillow, breathing deeply, while she listens to Alonzo's voice calming her nerves.
Tania, Sabrina only focus on the looks of Alonzo and Arturo and they realized that forced love is not good, it is better when it is natural.
Brenda suffers inside, even being asleep in the room, she feels misunderstood, discarded, she is looking for attention, but she always does bad things, to get attention, and that is not good, even in her dreams she wants to see Katherine destroyed, They say love hurts sometimes, and Brenda isn't ready to be alone right now.
The clock shows five fifteen, everyone's alarm sounded and that always bothers everyone, in the morning it is difficult to get up, everyone gets up and bathes as quickly as possible, while Katherine still remains in bed asleep, nobody wakes him up, because this day he has a disability.
Brenda is still sleeping and Miss Daniela gets up to see if the employees are doing their jobs and they are the first to get up to prepare breakfast from five in the morning.
Miss Daniela goes into the kitchen and greets the employees.
—Good morning, I'm not well today, I don't know what to do, I'm still struggling with my sister, and now the anonymous letter from my sister, I don't know what to believe should help me make a decision, that person left a number of cell phone, correct address and that I do not know by the way, and I do not know if it is a joke or it is real, I have a serious problem, he says that he found his daughter and that it may be her, I do not understand and now Brenda does not stop telling me Aunt, to be honest, the girl sees me as her Aunt, but the truth is that I am not her aunt, although in order not to hurt her heart, I tell her not to call me aunt when there are strangers but she is stupid, I don't know her. I met four years ago that's why she tells me that, I don't understand she remembers things, like for example the photo, she says that this woman seems familiar to her, and now she makes me a total disaster, Brenda's mother is a friend of mine who never she knew how to take care of her daughter or educate her — says Miss Daniela with regret in her soul.
—Miss Daniela I understand perfectly, but you have to write to that number, you may be surprised, if you are scared with the number, then write a letter and send it to the mailbox and someone to send it to that address understands me, you have to do it , and with regard to Miss Brenda it costs a lot, character, she lacks love, she doesn't know what to do, she doesn't understand yet —the employee Lili tells her.
—I know, Brenda is having a hard time educating her, I don't understand why she acts like that, intoxicating her partner, and on top of that pulling her hair is traumatic, she is terrible with that character, she becomes surly, and I don't know what to do to control her and with what Someone else may write a letter, "says Miss Daniela.
"Write the letter for me, and with regard to young Brenda, she is full of life, she is at the age where she needs love, a lot of love and so her character will change," says Marcela the employee.
"Marcela, but I'm not her mother to hug her," Daniela adds.
"You will have to give her love because she is unbearable, it should be noted that I have endured when she throws things without thinking, I just need to end up throwing a young man through the stands, the girl needs love," says Doris.
"Hay Doris, I'm going crazy, you know I'm not one to give so much love to anyone, but if it's to control Brenda, I'll have to do it, or I'll end up taking her to the psychologist, thank you all for her opinions," Daniela adds.
"Miss Daniela go shopping with her and pamper her. Try it, I think Brenda feels lonely and empty, and even more so now that we don't know that she went to college," says Lili.
"Damn I have to talk to the University right now, thanks for reminding me Lili, she urges me to make the call, before she gives me a headache," Daniela says, taking her cell phone to make the call.
"Miss, but she opens the University at six," she adds.
"Damn Lili, you're right, I don't know where my head is, at this time no one answers me, I'll have to speak at half past six, ok," she adds.
"Lunch will be at six o'clock, ok, so relax, stress is not good for her health," she adds.
Fifty-five minutes later, everyone's smile is overflowing with full happiness from breakfast.
They are all changed, perfumed and ready to eat breakfast and then go.
The only ones who are asleep are Brenda and Katherine, Miss Daniela goes up with the plate of food to the Katherine's room and sees that she is stretching on the bed.
"Good morning, Miss Katherine as you woke up today," she asks him.
"Miss Daniela, good morning, my stomach doesn't hurt just my head, I had a bad night yesterday, I had a very ugly dream, I don't like water or fire, but I'm hungry," she tells him.
"I'm glad you're hungry Miss Katherine that's why she brought you breakfast in bed just for this day while she finishes recovering, just for this day," she adds.
"Thank you Miss Daniela," she says as she grabs breakfast to eat.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Katherine," she says, retiring.
"Thank you," she says Katherine.
Miss Daniela goes where Brenda is, she opens the door to the room.
"Good morning, Brenda," she adds.
—Hi, good morning, I'm upset, I want to go home, and my mother tells me that she is pregnant and that she is somewhere else celebrating, not even when I was born, I remember that they talked about how they celebrated for me, and with this new baby that we still do not know the sex, and that it will be my brother or sister, if they celebrate me no longer, they never did with me, and above all I can not find my baby photos, it is not fair, my mother is telling me Lying, I don't know anything about my photos from when I was a baby, so ugly it was for him not to show them to me, it makes me very angry and angry —he adds with annoyance.
—Don't make it more complicated Brenda, I already told you not to be bitter about everything, you can't go through life making yourself bitter that way, I already told you to discard people, or ignore them, if you don't like them, but not to hurt them. Yesterday you did things very badly, I don't understand why I so hate the Katherine girl, ”he says.
—Aunt Daniela, because they didn't take your boyfriend away from you, you don't know what it feels like, because of Katherine my boyfriend doesn't want to see me in painting, much less talk to me, and I cut myself yesterday, and I told him that I I would also cut it first, the thing is that we are no longer boyfriends, because of Katherine, you do not know what it is that your boyfriend cuts you, the love of your life, the one you tried his lips and that, it hurts me, let this happen, because of that I am bad - he adds sadly.
—Brenda, you ruined her violin, which she works with, I can't believe you're so cynical, yesterday I had to talk to Katherine's mother secretly, to tell her that her daughter had indigestion and that we would take care of her, I had to do it secretly without anyone listening to me, fixing the serious problem you caused, now you have to talk to Katherine who you will owe her an apology, and by the way I will have to replace her violin, I will buy two for you and for Katherine, and you are forbidden to touch things of Katherine, and enough with the boys, you were to blame, for your jealousy, they led you to this, for being jealous, so you will never have a boyfriend that lasts. They will end up running away from you, and that is not good, you must understand that love is not forced, and men or young people do not wait a lifetime, for you to change that character that you have, if you will be in my mansion, you will respect it , and by the way when you finish eating your breakfast you wash everyone's dishes, now the staff this day only cooks who washes dishes for breakfast lunch and dinner, you will be your Brenda, so that you understand, do not see this as a punishment, look at it as a reflection And I don't want you to go around saying bad things about the employees of my mansion, you respect them, you understand me, or at least you understand what I'm saying, ”he adds.
—Thank you Aunt Daniela, my day can't start worse, thanks for the sermon, even if you would have saved it, now, I don't want to hear anymore, I'm frustrated, everything goes wrong, it makes me very angry, and on top of that, go tell her ´ "Forgive me Katherine for what she did to you, it was not my intention to do so, please excuse me," I have to go with that attitude, where she, when she was the culprit, "he adds, frowning.
"Finish breakfast ok, today you stay at home helping the employees do the cleaning and don't say no, that you are not sick," she adds.
"I'm leaving all this will give me a headache, I'll call the University to see how to solve your problem, or you will lose the University this year and your career, and remember I do not accept mediocrity," she warns him.
Minutes later everyone gets on the bus and goes to the University while Brenda stays cleaning the house and helping the employees and Katherine remains resting in bed.
Hours later, Katherine gets out of bed and just looks at some portraits where there are three babies who wear a chain around their neck in the shape of a star.
She takes the portrait and stares at the photo that she had never seen but since she is clueless she had not realized that she was on the nightstand, she stares at the beautiful smile of the babies, intrigued, and focuses more on the chain In the shape of a star, every time he is curious to know what is in the drawers, he carefully takes one last look to see if no one comes and opens the drawer and looks at something impressive what his eyes have never seen befores
