The hours went by; some moments were busier than others for both of them, always with a smile on their faces doing what they loved the most. The encounters between them in the hallways of the hospital ended up in a smile. Ian enjoyed the vibes of positives given off of her after passing by his side, while Alice walked off with thousands of questions assaulting her mind. Why that smile on her face? What about those hidden words in his eyes? Why that shiny smile in his eyes? Stars hanging up from her sky in the world she built just for her son, stars that were from his world to decorate hers, because at the end, everyone has a world in their inner existence.

At the moment she found herself alone just with her thoughts, she couldn’t help but think about the memories that Ian had brought to her life. She couldn’t help but remember that morning when Ian had called her in a different way.

She took out the resignation letter from her pocket scrub. That day when she had finally made a decisio

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    THE MOMENT HAS COME

    Confessing what we feel, it's hard to accept, firstly for ourselves and then, learn to live with that while our heart feels like crying out those hidden feelings and secrets when looking into that person's eyes who stole our heart just with a smile to make it his or her own castle and do whatever change they want in it. Fear fills our heart in the mere instant we hear our hearts talking on their own, endless fears such as; the fear of being rejected by that lovely person, the fear of giving everything but getting nothing because that's love. Even the most genuine love is always going to ask for something. Even genuine love wants something, even a single gaze filled with love and care is enough to prolong the light of that cane called love. At that moment, Alice was so close to his heart, she feared. She just wanted to run away as her life depended on that, she just wished to be as strong and brave as he was to confess that. Those words sounded like a melody to her, but her fears made

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    ALL FOR YOU

    It had been almost seven years since the day of his birth; it had been a little bit longer since she knew she was pregnant with Gabriel’s baby. So many lies, so much time had gone and she never came back to say a word to Alice’s son, who kept suffering day by day after his mistake. Alice did not deserve to be excused; Alice had nothing to say to back herself up. All she had done until that moment was a mistake. How come she dared to hide that baby that was not only hers but Nancy’s son as well? How come she could live like that for over six years? Her son, that little angel, just because he was too innocent to understand, she decided to decide for him? She could not be a good mom since she had done that t her own son.Nancy’s son made a mistake with the woman who loved him the most. Nancy was aware of that. She knew a woman can’t forget what a man did but that didn’t give the right to act like that. In the same way as Alice, Nancy had been cheated on too. Who was Alice after all to de

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    YEARNING

    Believing that everything is over at the moment we confess the truth, the only truth that kept us awake in the nights we most would've wanted to sleep and forget everything is just a lie, a nightmare, and as soon as the sun rises, we'll get back to our reality, it as untrue as the same lie. Nothing is over when lies turn into truth, new cycles begin. Whether it's for good or for the worst.A sea of emotions was experimented at the moment. Alice, Joseph and Nancy, how many years had it been since the moment Nancy felt alive? How many years had it been since the moment Alice felt light with herself? How many years had it been until Joseph felt important and loved not only by his mother and aunt? He had not met his father but he knew he was going to love him as much as his grandmother was loving him. Now, Joshep could write thousands of letters and be sure they were going to be delivered because, in the end, there was indeed someone who was going to read him, read that little heart of h

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE

    A castle, a castle that had submerged from the ruins that a wrecking ball left one day, a wrecking ball that never cared of the pain it had provoked in the heart, a wrecking ball that just knew how to hurt, how to destroy, how to betray but never, how to pay off the love that the queen whose castle was destroyed was offering with every single gaze she dedicated to that wrecking wall. Countless times, for over five months, that wrecking laughed in her face when it saw what it had done to her and then, it just walked away. He never deserved her pure love, he never deserved her heart, her body, her tears, but above all, he never deserved the miracle she had carried in her being for over 9 months. The door of that castle opened in front of his eyes, those sparky eyes that existed just for her, he was not a saver, he was not a saint, he did not deserve the shiny light around her she was lighting up his way with, he did not deserve to be healed by that light. What good on earth did he d

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    JUST A MINUTE BY YOUR SIDE

    Have you ever noticed the stolen gazes? Have you ever seen the yearning in his or her eyes? The merge between two soul, the merge between earth and rain, the merge between her and him, the merge between just two people who fell in love without realizing it.It was true they were young when they met, it was true he had fallen in love without realizing, it was true they were meant to be all along. Having him, having her at that moment when finally everything had been said, had made them touch paradise while being aware that mistakes should not be called mistakes if they had been committed for the first time.How is it possible not to make any mistakes when we are human beings? How is it possible to be perfect when the world that is welcoming us is everything, but perfect?If she was afraid one day in her own skin, she wouldn't remember it anymore. All that time thinking there was no man on earth that could be different from the man she loved and wrecked her, there was no man who could

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    FRAGILITY

    Yes, it was possible to feel the heart full of happiness in the same way, it was possible to feel it strangely ill. Ian was her everything. Ian was all she could ask for but, regrettably, she had a date with her past. Nancy was not going to stop until she said the truth but, if only she could understand how hard it was. As soon as the smile on the face of Alice was erased, without hesitation, she took her cellphone, the keys of her sister's car and headed out, trying not to look behind. There was so much to explain to Ian but, that was not the moment to talk to him. Her only purpose was to gather enough courage to face her mother-in-law. She was not ready to talk to Gabriel and Nancy had to understand that. Maybe, it was too easy to focus on her problems first before stopping just a second and hear out her surroundings. Maybe it was better to let herself be loved before loving someone. Maybe Ian was full-aware of her feelings and she didn't need to let him know that when, for her,

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    DO NOT FORGET ME

    If only someone had told her she was not weak for showing him her feelings, if someone just had told her she would do right if she had stopped him in the mere instant her heart asked her to do that, maybe her heart would feel as heavy as she was feeling it.She had made many mistakes in her short life and, apparently, that was the way of her to act even if her inside was being torn apart.It was true, what begins is fated to end someday, but, if the decision to finish what had not started was upon the person he loved with his entire life that he felt not even a whole life would be enough to tell her how much he loved her. What about that? She was being an immature young mom again. He loved her innocence, but what she was doing was not due to her innocence but her cowardice in feeling her son away as soon as he met his father. She was not an angel, she was not a demon, but acting like that would make her look like a selfish demon who wants to owe everything.  

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    RETURNING

    Alice's heart finally felt calm, the same calm she just felt when Joseph was close to her to heal her wounds. She had just done for a man what she never imagined to do after the most painful betrayal she had gone through because of her first love. She was convinced Ian was going to come back for just one reason; her love, the love she was giving him maybe, since the first moment they encountered for the first time after many years. All her fears had been put aside in the moment she felt –for a moment– her heart was almost facing his absence. A fairytale had begun in that moment. Regrettably, it was going to be hard not to see Ian as always walking through the hospital corridors, smiling for every time he ran into her like he had encountered the most beautiful treasure in his way. After all, she was his most precious treasure.If only she could know how happy that man had boarded the plane, if only he could explain to her all the emotions and fe

    A DREAM COME TRUEIn life, thousands of decisions to make; in life, millions of different paths to follow; in life, just one lonely soul who struggles day by day, step by step, second by second to give the best when that person is not even the best version of oneself.What about the world? What about that world which expects the best of us? How wrong the people who say adolescents like to feel they owe the world. They can destroy it and build it as many times as we want.When we are adolescents we don't look for becoming a wrecking ball to destroy the world and build it our way. If people could just understand, we just look for that path, that way we can walk through and feel ourselves.We want to be loved, we want to feel we belong to one heart, we just want to stay in the heart that will become our home eventually for the rest of our lives. Because if something of what people think of a

  • HIS MISTAKES BEHIND FORGIVENESS    FOR THE ETERNITY

    In the end, there is no such medicine as time. Time heals wounds, time makes us better people, time makes us understand those things we could not understand before. The present hurts while the future sleeps and the past dies. No one knows the reasons of the events that we're going through at a given moment until later the threads of life came to be just one, giving meaning to all the things that didn't have in their moment. Everything is time, nothing comes if it's not by time which leads it to us. There is no answer that doesn't depend on time. If we, most of the time, don't have reasons for all our acts, how do we pretend to have the answers that life has just to the questions that make for the same life?The past and present beget the future, that one which we're more afraid of.Learning to love is part of life, waiting for the right one is knowing what we deserve.Alice had closed a very important cycle i

Alice didn't close her eyes, not even for a second, she wanted to get rid of him, but regrettably, she felt nothing compared to the manly strength he put forth.He had finally reached her lips, he was kissing how he had wished to do since the first moment he met her and Alice. She was about to lose who she loved the most as a consequence of that unwanted and undesired kiss.Alice's heart broke at the mere moment she saw Ian with teary eyes looking at them.

    Feeling the headache killing her, she couldn’t process what her friend was telling Alice.“Alice?” named Dayanna, as she hadn’t heard Gabriel’s voice.“Yes, Dayanna?” replied Alice, sitting up on the grim.“Congratulations, you're going to be a mom!”Her breath stopped, her mind stop sending messages to her body and suddenly, she just became a living body that acted by instinct. Those words that her friend said had come directly into her heart. She couldn't believe what she just heard, it couldn't be possible. Once again, she was pregnant, once again a life was inside her and suddenly, she felt the same inexperienced teenager that was pregnant with Gabriel’s baby but now, with the difference she didn't need that baby to cling to life.

    It'd been three days since the day Gabriel swore to get closer to Alice and then, have her heart again. He was convinced she was still in love with him, he was convinced she tried to have feelings for Ian just because she wanted to forget Gabriel. In his mind, Alice was still his, it was just a matter of time to make her believe in the world he was starting to build for her and his son. They were a family already, he just needed to get closer to her. He had changed and it was time for him to show Alice the new person he had become after the pain Gabriel had caused her.Gabriel just couldn’t stand the idea of Alice thinking about Ian all the time. Gabriel couldn’t stand the idea of Alice working not to let Ian down.

    What happens when one color gets combined with another one? What happens when feelings come into the one person's heart and that person's feelings come into our hearts? What happens with the merger of water and earth? What happens when the sound and the words combine and make themselves one? What does it have to happen to exist the magic, the magic of love?Maybe all that needs to happen to exist magic, genuine feelings, colors that we don't see frequently is to hear the crying of a new born.“It's a boy!"There, where Alice felt she couldn't hold anymore what she was feeling and after having pushed for the third and last time, she could finally lean back her head at the same time her body seemed to lay down as well.It was done, all she feared one day, all she couldn't imagine because of her fears had ended there.

    Once upon a time, there was a meaningless life waiting to be lived. Once upon a time, there was a meaningless life waiting to be cherished, because that is a life for, isn’t it?What about those people who spend their lives complaining about the things they had and they don’t have? What about that life that was given to them to be lived as they pleased but preferred to look into other people’s lives to see what theirs are lacking?Life is not only a process we have to live because, first of all, “have to” it’s not the phrase we should use when we refer to life. Life is a pleasure, life is seeing that hopeless world turning into a world full of magic, of colors, of wishes, of love.What happens when our lives get stained by the colors of negative feelings? What happens when negative feelings start growing in our hearts? The truth is nothing happens, the truth is everyone feels ­–at some point in their lives– tho

    There were just ruins in the hearts of the people who were taking hands in that place where the truth had destroyed more than had healed. How long had they been waiting for that moment? Gabriel’s heart knew that, his heart always knew there was something else, something she had to be hiding. Those sleepless nights, those dreams, those screams in his heart and finally, that moment between his son and him.Stars, heaven, God and maybe, all of them at the same time had heard Joseph’s prayers before going to bed. Just heaven knew how much he had prayed for that moment, because not even his mother was aware of the pain she had caused him by running away from the person that hurt her but not her son. In the end, Joseph was not guilty, he had just been a victim there.Human beings make mistakes, some of them make bigger mistakes and others just make mistakes, but, what about those ones who mess up with their lives so that innocent ones make them pay for what they

    It was still difficult to look back to those days where the sadness was all reigned in her life. It was still difficult to remember. There was no one else there but her baby and the family that took care of her. Yes, she was thankful to those people who were with her at the most difficult moment in her life, but that didn’t mean she didn’t want to give her son another life, the kind of life her son saw in his friends. We can’t have everything at once. That’s right but, why did her son have to pay the consequences of the mistakes of those people?It was hard to remember or even, to look back at those memories just for one second and see herself taking care of her son when she was giving up. Maybe, if Gabriel had been there, the present and the future would be different.But among the pain, among the sad moment, among the tears, the loneliness, the regret, the anger was Ian and the present, in that present where she had finally said everything.
