Chapter 6

“Lia, I don’t understand why this man and his son have anything wrong with this!

“My friend, I think it’s better not to get involved, you know? Just do your job and don't try to solve something that isn't part of your life and doesn't belong to you.

“What's that like, just a 5-year-old child wanting lots of attention from his father? I believe so for this heartless crazy person, and because I fell in love with this boy and not because I need work, otherwise I would have left a long time ago.

“Friend, don’t mess around! I'll tell you the real reason for this later, but today we're going home together to enjoy the end of the week.

My day off came and yet, I stopped myself from worrying about who Yan would end up with. He himself told me that he wouldn't like me to go, as I would have to live with an old and boring lady. At that time, I laughed a lot, being a child and being real. But I tried to explain that I would be back soon, it was just a weekend and I needed to rest and sort things out before I got back. When he arrived at the end of the afternoon, the lady arrived and she really looked like a boring old woman, but she couldn't do anything because Doctor the ogre was at home today and asked not to be disturbed by Yan's tantrums.

“Aunt Gabriela, won’t you stay, can I ask Dad to pay extra to stay, please?

“Yan it’s not about money dear and I need to take my day off and I’ll be back on Monday it will go by quickly!

“I don't want to be with this boring old woman! She treats me badly and I don't like her.

“What is going on here, all this shouting?

“It’s nothing, I’m just sorry Yan is asking me to stay.

“Look, Yan, stop with your cuteness, and another baby in arms understands that you will have to stay with Senhora Maria and that's it, stop crying and go play.

"Our! Didn't you need to talk to him like that? He could have said it differently!

“I talk to him the way I think is right and don’t get involved.

Before I went to Yan's room to talk to him, try to smooth things over, what a horrible way to talk to your son. The longer I stayed here, the more I hated this badass idiot, which is why I had to pay women to eat because no one would want to be with this monster. How he managed to get married and have children, poor wife, just thinking that he could have been like that with her made me even more angry.

“Lia, go ahead and I’ll meet you, I’ll just talk to Yan quickly.

“Gabriela leaves it alone and let's go, Yan is still too spoiled.

“Spoiled or not, I’ll talk to him! — Jeez! Insistent girl, there's no point in me talking, right?

I talked to Yan and he understood, I promised him a super double ice cream when I got back, and that I would call to see if he was ok! As for Doctor Charles, I didn't say goodbye, I left and I didn't even say goodbye. He realized that I didn't like it anymore, as I couldn't get involved, I swallowed hard with the desire to tell this guy some truths. We took the bus and Manuel was going to pick us up… On the road so we wouldn't have to walk at night in the dark.

“Friend, are you messing around where you shouldn’t, because you have no idea who Doctor Charles is?

“And an asshole and an idiot, that’s what! I wasn't going to leave the boy crying.

“Let’s go and I’ll tell you everything along the way!

I don't know if I was happy to go home or sad to leave Yan there alone, the child wasn't going to lie and if he said that you treat him badly, it was because there was truth in it all. Was I going to call him tomorrow to see if everything was ok? If he hadn't, I would have gone back without any problems just to see his happiness.

“My friend, you don’t know anything, Charles only told you the worst part, not because he’s ashamed, I suppose?

“What other part in? He opened his mouth, now tell me everything!

“Gabriela, Yan, not your Charles’ son! That's why all this revolt and why he treats Yan like that.

"My God! Really?

"Yes! His wife discovered all her betrayals and to get back she cheated on him with Charles' brother who died in the car accident with her.

“Jesus, what a mess!

  Charles was aware that she had committed many mistakes that did not deserve forgiveness and, therefore, he accepted the boy as his son so as not to harm her. However, she betrayed herself again and, shortly after that, decided to run away with his brother, but it didn't work out and she ended up having an accident.

“That’s why he blames himself and said he can’t stay by the boy’s side? But the father is not the one who does it, but the one who creates!

" For sure! But for Charles, after she died, he was never the same again and became like that with the boy.

“What a disgusting man, that’s why he got beaten up!

“Friend, never say anything to Yan about this or to your Charles, because he is ashamed of it.

“ And to have it! A beautiful woman who could be exchanged for anyone and feel ashamed of herself.

“She was really beautiful, she didn’t deserve this.

I was shocked by the revelation, but the boy is not to blame for any of this, what happened was not his fault and it will never be just in this idiot's head to think that way.

If he had controlled his dick in his pants there would never have been cheating, but I believe that he cannot be a correct man, he likes many women until he catches an illness and dies. Certainly if he had been in her place he would have done the same, so now that he died he recognized that he was the love of his life and when he was supposed to have respect he didn't. What soap opera is this? Where did I get involved in all this, I just feel sorry for Yan and I'm sure he's the one who suffers the most from this.

But I wanted to not think about it and enjoy my weekend and I couldn't bring myself to want to go back and be close to Yan, I missed him a lot at bedtime but it wasn't cool to get attached like that and then I would go and suffer for it. After all that, I just thought about how horrible it all was and why there was so much rejection. But I couldn't get involved in that, it wasn't part of my family and I tried to forget all that, even for my own good.

“Friend, forget what I told you, it will only harm you and it’s useless!

“I hadn't spoken before because I know I won't be able to stay at peace.

'We'll go out to have fun and forget about that for a moment.

I swear I tried but it didn't work, I preferred to stay at home and rest rather than spend the night in the mess. There was a child who needed me and I was the only person he liked and if it depended on me, love wouldn't be lacking regardless of who it was. I wanted Monday to arrive so I could see that beautiful smile that every child and an angel of God fell in love with.
