Arturo watches him.
-Are you angry? -Question.
"I'm not mad," she adds.
"Why are you frowning?" —Adds Arthur.
—Because that girl is weird, Katherine is a girl who when she wants to get something doesn't stop like me, apart from that when I saw her I didn't feel that she resembles me in something, I still don't know what, but it's like seeing me in the form of a good person, who does not kill a fly, but today is my birthday, I really wonder if my age is correct, some say that I look twenty and another tell me that I am eighteen, I don't know anymore, and my mother She is not so communicative, I don't know why she is afraid to talk about it, I feel like nothing is right now, ”she says.
"You think you're adopted?" She asks, intrigued.
—If Arturo I feel that maybe I am, it's that I remember seeing a woman in the restaurant, I don't know she is strange, but at the same time I feel attracted, and don't think badly, but she helped me with the cashier I think her name is Milena, she is like seeing myself, she looks something like me, and then Katherine arrives and I see that she looks like me, that makes me uneasy and everything is weird - she says while she eats.
"I understand, but hey you should lower it a bit to not being so mean with people, I mean you can try not to be jealous and yelling," she tells him.
"Okay," she adds as she finishes her ice cream.
"I thought if she told you that you'd love me trouble, and happy birthday."
The voice of the clerk Amanda intervenes.
"Miss Brenda her mother is here," she adds.
"My mother," she adds stunned.
"If her mother wants to see her, she's right on the couch," she tells him.
"Ok, I'm going right away," she adds enthusiastically, taking her pink laptop from her.
Katherine and Arturo go to the living room.
"Hello mother!" Katherine adds.
"Hello daughter, happy birthday, I came so that you and I can go shopping for clothes," she tells him.
"Seriously, you didn't have to work?" Her, ”she asks.
"There is daughter decides to spend time with you, there is nothing wrong with her," she adds.
"And that miracle you almost never want to spend time, if it's because you see me sad, there is nothing wrong with her, please don't stress about me," she adds.
"Okay," she adds,
"Well I see that everything will be fine with you, go enjoy everything you need, I'll see you at night or later," Arturo adds.
"At 5:00 in the afternoon you can come, you understand, I need you at that time in the house at that time we will celebrate my daughter's birthday," she adds.
"Ok ma'am," Alonzo says as he leaves the mansion.
—And that miracle that voice and I are going to leave? She asks him.
—There is a daughter, I just need you to feel good, and I know I have not been the best mother in the world, but I want you and I to get along well and once in your life, I don't want you to feel bad because of me and my life. I want us to be when you were twelve. You like me to hug you a lot, ”her mother tells her.
—Thank you mother, she's very calm, I know that sometimes I am rude, but forgive me, I am sometimes a bad daughter, you know where is my father? Do I answer your calls? Brenda replies.
"Brenda, daughter, all I want is for you to be happy, and sometimes I don't know how to do this, I want things to change between us, and your father is working hard as always," says her mother.
"Are they going to get divorced?" She asks curiously.
"No daughter, as you think of course not, I don't know where you get that from," he says.
—I only draw conclusions since I see that you do not sleep together as a mother is your decision, although I still think that maybe you no longer love each other as before, we never talk about it, but sometimes I think that you have some traumas, one night I heard you cry you said baby if I had you in my arms today I would tell you that I love you, if I only touched you and had you with me, I would be happy, and you were crying for the baby, you never told me that story, it is difficult for you to talk about it, I suppose you have your reasons, but I hope one day you open up to the past and tell me about it, I am part of you, you don't have to hide anything from me, and that's what I don't understand mother, you keep so many things to yourself, that sometimes I think that you keep thousands of secrets that will never be shared, you and my father have marriage problems that I know, but how it started I do not know, but my father sometimes does not look at you, I do not know what the internal bitterness is, it does not serve you you're welcome mother, get bitter or cry if you don't share your feelings entos, you repress them just like me, you remember sincerity first and foremost. Perhaps you are not ready for it, to talk about it, although I am your daughter, I would like you to tell me or trust me, ”she says with great nostalgia.
—There is daughter, I'm not ready to comment on it, it's not easy, I haven't healed yet, that's why I feel bad and it's difficult for me to talk about it, but come on, I want to buy you clothes, remember that I love you, and you have to give your father time, ”he adds.
"I don't need time to understand that I need their forgiveness for being a bad father, I don't even know what day I became a bad father," the father's voice intervenes.
-Dad! She exclaims.
—I will accompany you and we will have lunch outside, we will let Amanda rest from the kitchen for a moment, happy birthday daughter,
sorry if I have been absent, excuse me, my job does not allow so much time to pass, but today it turns out that I can take the luxury of leaving work whenever I want, since lately I will make my schedules, and I have an accessible boss, and I decided to come to see them, ”says the father.
"What a good father," Brenda says enthusiastically.
—I wasn't expecting you, well at the end of it all, I wouldn't know if you were going to come, and that miracle that you want to be here as a family? Brenda's mother asks.
—Well, my life I realized that the family comes first, and that I'm neglecting both of them, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not my intention, both are the treasure of my life. Will you forgive me? Brenda's father asks.
"Yes, of course we forgive you," the mother and Brenda reply at the same time.
Brenda's father hugs them both and for the first time Brenda feels a bit liberated, nor does she understand why they are both so happy, which is not very common for them now Brenda wonders what are they two hiding? Something that they are not telling him? There is something that unites them, but he does not know exactly what it really is.
