Chapter 35

Matías smiles, his sister has always been somewhat dramatic about some things, for him, Luz was born old. So he tries to relax her a bit.

-It can’t be so terrible, soon you’re going to tell me that you’re pregnant or what – Luz only emits a slight sob Luz ? Was that it?

-Yes – she says in a whisper and Rafael squeezes her hand –

-Shit! I messed up… oh, little sister… don’t cry, it’s not bad, you’re not alone… wait-he gets serious and his attitude changes completely-

Matías, who was in the dining room with some colleagues, storms out to the patio. He already imagines what may be happening.

– Luz, tell me something… did you tell our parents?

-Yes… – she tells him crying a lot –

-Did they do something to you?

Mom slapped me… they treated me like a bitch… Matias , I swear I didn’t do anything wrong, I… oh, brother, I was so afraid that you would judge me like them.

– Luz, family is the most important thing and all those conventions of our parents are worth it to me. I’ve seen things a thousand times worse than a pregnant eighteen-year-old girl. You’re my sister and… damn – Luz hears a door open and shouts in the distance – I’m going to be an uncle!

The whistles and applause make Luz smile with relief. She already has three men behind her willing to stop bullets for her and her son.

– Well, now you have my reaction. Now, what matters, the father.

– There is no father – she answers quickly –

-Don’t you want to take over? ‘Cause you know I can do it…

-I don’t know who he is – those words make Matías unseat himself in a seat and run his fingers over his forehead –

-Luz, it’s your life, I’m not going to interfere, but… seriously, you don’t know?
