[Lara]
We went on to where Teci was. The colt was a cutie. Black and white. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen! I can't believe I didn't like the idea when I found out she was pregnant.
Daniel smiled looking at the little one. It was getting fed.
“Is it male?”
“Yes.”
“He's very handsome.”
“I know!” I said smiling.
“For those who don't like the idea, you're pretty excited” he said sarcastically.
“I changed my mind. Becau
I was waiting for Lara to appear. She was standing with her arms crossed at the gate of one of the stables' paddocks. I don't know how she managed to convince me of this, but...Manuela was beside me and very excited about her crazy mother's idea. Minutes passed and Lara appeared with Teci. “Mom, wasn't that going to be my horse?”“Another day. For the first assembly you will go with me.”I breathed a little relieved. She's not that crazy. I thought she was going to put Manuela on the horse and let her ride alone...Lara climbed on Teci and asked me to put Manuela on. I put her in front of Lara.
It was Manuela's fifth birthday. Lara was back and forth tidying up for the party. The little girl kept watching and talking when she didn't like something they put on the table. Lara gave her that look that only the little girl understood. That "shut up now or I will shut you up" look. That was infallible. She always lost.The girl left them alone in the living room finishing tidying up. Apparently her opinion didn't count there.She pulled the stool out of the kitchen and tried to climb up. She almost fell, because it was high. Daniel always told her not to sit there, because she could fall and hurt herself.“What are you doing?”The girl looked to the side and Daniel was looking at her with his arms crossed.
After telling Daniel the news and seeing that he was excited, I relaxed. I wasn't planning to have any more children, but I went soft on the medication and now I have an extra little gift...“Are you going to prophesy sex again?” I asked debauched.We had just left Manuela in her room and went to ours. I was dead tired! Too many children...“This time I don't know. I didn't even imagine that we would have another child.”“Me neither” I said thoughtfully.“Didn't you like it?”“I didn't want another child, I won't lie, but since it came...” I shrugged my shoulders.
I got up very early. I was very anxious. I hardly slept at all. Finally my father was going to let me start jump training with Lightning. It had been an argument for months, but finally he let me, but he will be by my side the whole time.My mom said that he did this to her too, but after a while he started to trust. Only it seems that with me he will never trust. I don't understand why that is. Lightning and I get along very well.I was sitting on the couch and waiting for him to show up. What's taking so long?“Are you ready yet?”I looked back and my father stared at me with his arms crossed. “We agreed on eight o'clock.”“Yes, and it
A few months passed after I started training. Now my father - finally - let me jump the highest ones, but he was all the time standing close and watching every wrong move I made. And no, they were not the highest hurdles. He said that it takes time and to stop being stubborn. This stubbornness irritated both of us. His stubbornness in persisting in the same place, when I was already able to go ahead, and mine in insisting to increase.In the end he would get angry and take me home.When I told my mother about this, she laughed at me and it also made me angry. Don't they understand that I am not five years old anymore?But there was also a good side to all this... Sometimes my father couldn't stay and left Murilo with me to watch me. In these moments I would jum
Are we in the right 21st century? I think so. Sometimes, I'm in doubt, you know? That's because my dad wants to make me marry a guy. Yes, it is absurd! And every time I try to give an opinion, he tells me to shut up and respect him because I'm a minor. Is there a law that prohibits this kind of thing? I would like to understand more about this... I was in my room in the middle of a tantrum. That's because my father had just told me that my “fiancé” was going to arrive anytime to meet me. Interesting, isn't it? To know me. I feel like a horse for sale. Where the buyer comes to assess whether the animal is in good condition. If he asks me to see my teeth, I wouldn’t find it strange. "Daughter?" "Hum ..." I mumble irritably. I hate when people come talk to me when I’m mad. "Take a shower and put on the clothes I chose." I look at the dress on the bed and make a face. "I'm not taking a shower at all! If he really wants this damn wedding, he'll have to put up with me the way I am!"
I woke up with the sun on my face and got out of bed slowly. Sleeping poorly is the worst thing. I get in an awful mood. I took a quick shower, put on my school uniform and went to breakfast. As soon as I got to the kitchen, I smiled when I saw Maria setting the table for me. She is the coolest cook on earth! “Good morning, girl!” “Good Morning! This smells good.” “Eat all! You are very skinny.” “You and your habit of wanting to put on weight.” I bite a piece of cake and sigh. There is no one in this world who cooks like this woman! "You’re skin and bone, girl, must eat!” “I'm eating,” I say with my mouth full, and she laughs. After eating until I almost exploded I went to school. A small van was coming for me. I live in a distant place and if I go on foot, I need at least a day of walking. Yes, I live at the end of the world. And I don't care about that. I like to take care of the farm animals. They at least understand me. I sit in the back of the van and sigh. I was always
The week passed too fast for my taste. It was the damned day that the little guy would come back here and I'm still not sure what for. This both annoys me and makes me very nervous and anxious. My dad doesn't say anything! Absolutely nothing! Not even to tell me what he is going to do, if this shit he invented is sealed or not. What the hell! ”He's here,” says Maria. I was sitting on the stable floor. I didn't want to show up at home, but of course I had no choice. “I have to go now?” “Your father said to call you, dear.” “Say I'm coming.” Maria leaves and I lean against the wall and sigh deeply. I so wanted my life to be mine! But what can I do against it? If it didn't depend on my parents, I could be gone. Maybe it's a good idea to go with this guy. He lives in the big city and I can get a job there, I don't know! Anything that gives me freedom and total control of my own life I get up unwillingly and run my hand over my pants cleaning the dirt from sitting on the floor. I w

[Daniel]The next day Lara woke up in a great mood. Even more so when I told her all the things we had to do. She was very excited. We went to the beach, which was in front of the hotel and Lara couldn't stop smiling. The water was clear blue and had fine sand. On the sand there were covered beds and coconut trees all around. “I knew this was paradise!”We put our things on one of the beds and I had to hold Lara to put on the sunscreen. She is worse than a child! We got into the water. The place was so perfect. I think everybody should get to know it. It is wonderful.
[Lara]It was so good! Too good to be true. Why did my mother do this? She knows I hate Larissa. She seems to do it on purpose.Daniel looked at me with wide eyes. I am very serious. If she doesn't leave, I will.“How do you want to get her out of here?”“If I have to, by the hair!” I said in a stressed voice. “Lara, I can't just kick her out.”“Why not? I don't want her here! And as I recall, the wedding is yours and mine, which means I have an opinion here too!”“I'm not saying that you
[Daniel]I waited patiently for the answer. Lara was thoughtfully looking at my face. She was on my lap. “What do you think is best?”“Go now to the church and get married.”Lara slapped me on the chest.“I'm serious!”“So am I.” “There's no way to go to the church now and do it.” “But we can go and set a date.”She l
