Helmut looked for some hint of a joke. Because to him, it was impossible for such a strong person to have such an aggressive tumor. It was impossible in his mind that the woman who survived leukemia as a child, and even passed the test of her curse and cured him, now had a tumor in her head.

Stunned, he stepped back, as he saw Aitana's calm look, as if she had not told him that she was going to die. That his chance of survival didn't even exceed ten percent.

"This is not a good time to joke, Aitana," Helmut says in a brittle voice.

"I came back here for you. I came back because I need you to take care of the children when I... die." Aitana says and Helmut brings his hands to his head as he looks everywhere but at the woman who has graphically dropped a bomb on him that prevents him from breathing normally.

"Please tell me it's a lie," Helmut pleads with her.

"It isn't. I went to the doctor today. Basically my tumor is pressing my brain against my skull to get some space. The headache

    One month laterNarrated by AitanaThe world stopped for me six times in my life. The first, when my parents died; the second, when the husband I had dreamed of, showed me that he was a monster; the third, when I found out I was pregnant with twins; the fourth, when my children were born; the fifth time when I found out about my tumor and the sixth, when I learned about my daughter's leukemia.Six times my world had stopped and only two were of joy. The two times I was immensely happy. My children were the foundation of my life. My reason to be happy, the ones I fought for.And now, I had to watch my daughter deteriorate more and more, while the headache threatens to explode this one. I wanted to be there for her. But, just by looking at me it was obvious that I was not well. Something was wrong with me and it wasn't good."Mom, I'm so sleepy," Ariana says rubbing her eyes."Just eat some more. I assure you that after this, you will eat an amazing jelly in the shape of a princess cast

    While I wait for the medicine to take effect, Eugene enters the room where he watches Ariana sleep, whispering to her about the adventures they will have when she wakes up. Cleo, even though she knows who he is and how I met him, watches every single thing he does as if he were Ariana's watchdog."Cleo, you should come home. Your son needs you." I whisper and she denies."My son is at school, he arrives after six in the afternoon. So, I can stay longer." Cleo says always looking over to where Eugene is."I need to meet with Helmut. Help me with that" I ask knowing we are not done talking."Ma'am, don't put me in such a difficult situation, I don't want Mr. to kill me for reminding him where you are. Because yes, most of the time he prefers not to know where you are let alone, what you have" Cleo says and I sigh deeply. "When I wanted him to disappear from my sight, he went almost every day to my house. But, now that I need him not to disappear, he does. At some point can we agree?" I

    Eugene sighs deeply and paces back and forth as if he can't find a way out. Something I hadn't seen in him before. He's usually one of those people who doesn't show his desperation no matter how hard you try to push him.If he is one of those who pretends to be well and now he is this bad, how will my son take it? How could Ariana take it if when he heals he might not find me? What trouble I'm in.'No more so than the one I'm in now. Helmut is explosive and has possibly heard that part about Eugene loving you. I doubt he'll like that' my mind says and I sigh deeply."Helmut...""You were calling me?" asks Helmut coming back from his daze."What are you doing here? It's obvious he doesn't need you anymore Aitana. Keep drinking or pretending everything is fine. I've already come to take over" Eugene says angrily.When I think Helmut is going to insult him for it, He just nods and walks towards me completely ignoring what Eugene had told him."Don't ask me for impossible things please, t

    The nurse comes in and immediately, they begin to attend to her while I watch everything they do to her. Although they ask me to leave, I beg to stay and not to disturb. But, the cry of seeing my daughter moaning and asking me to stop the pain, makes me leave the room in tears.My physical pain is nothing compared to the pain that her weak voice asking for help causes in me. I try to take a deep breath and it is when I hear my son's voice, that I look up trying to be strong."Mom, is everything okay?" asks Albert and I would like to tell him that, yes it is, but, Ariana's whimpers had my lie discovered. So, I am honest with him."Ariana is going through a time of pain. She has a fever too, so, she's being attended to." I whisper."She will be fine. Ariana is strong like you, mother," Albert says and I nod smiling. "Who did you come with, dear? I think the butler was resting today and you had classes all day" he murmured and my answer comes almost immediately."Good afternoon, sorry t

    I let a few minutes pass while I feel my back getting wet, my son, he is one of those boys who find it difficult to say what he feels and also, he is very embarrassed to be seen crying. Albert is my little iceberg. An iceberg that is about to melt from crying so much while clinging to me. But, I let him vent. Better that than for him to hold in the pain and fear of being left without me."Are you better?" I ask when I hear her slower, more leisurely whimpers."This is so annoying." Albert says and I don't know what he's referring to specifically, but, I don't ask him to explain, I just listen to him so I know how to help my son. "I hate this. I hate that it's happening to us.""No one wants to go through this. But, I believe it has happened to us, because we can face this. God doesn't give impossible trials for his children to endure. That's why he gave us this test. Because we can face this together as a family" I say caressing the hands that are clasped tightly around my body."I d

    The woman's pallor disappears for the blush that turns to her cheeks as she understands what is going on. So, I take a step toward her to clarify that I am not in a relationship with Helmut. But, apparently, he knows what I'm going to say, because he gets in my way."It's time to rest, come in, please" Helmut says and I sigh deeply."I thought you would still be running away and drinking, Mr. Baumann" I say staring at him."If you don't want me to drown my sorrows in alcohol, I won't, Mrs. Baumann" Helmut says highlighting the last name I haven't had for years."I am not the s..." I start to say, but, Helmut takes me in his arms in such a way that I must cling to his arms to keep from falling."What the hell is wrong with you!" I ask in surprise, while the pain in my head makes me hold my head with my freeing hand."You shouldn't walk so much, let alone spend your valuable time with people who are not professionals.

    I wake up in the middle of the night with complaints from my daughter, anguish invades me and I run to my daughter who whimpers as she moves from one side to the other. In a whisper I hear her call out to me and I plead that she is not having a crisis. "Mom, please. Mom, help me" my daughter pleads and I turn on the light, noticing how all her clothes are so wet it looks like water has been thrown on them. I quickly touch her head and how hot it is makes me take it off immediately.Desperate, I press the button to call the nurses and not feeling that they are coming quickly, I open the door to go get them. It is there when I see that Helmut is looking at something with Albert. I don't know what time it is and although I don't want to worry my son, I can't pretend everything is fine when my daughter has too much fever that can make her convulse.

    Omnipresent narratorTime passes and Aitana gradually calms down as her daughter falls sound asleep. Although she knows that it is only the beginning of a time of pain, worry invades her as she does not know if she will be able to be there for her daughter.The doctor comes out and when he tells her that he has to leave her in the intensive care unit to fight an aggressive infection, she collapses in silence. She knew what it meant, the antibiotics she had been given so much were not giving the right results and her poor immune system was not helping much in defending her body."She will be placed on the donor list, but it would be best if there is a family member who can give her the donation she needs. That way, the risk of rejection is minimized and, being a relative, she wouldn't have to wait for her turn on the long waiting list." The doctor says and Aitana sighs deeply."They already did the tests on us, not even Albert is compatible with her, how can we look for a relative, if

    Everyone on the island begins to show their respect for Aitana, while I watch as everything we experience here passes like a few seconds in a trailer.

    Six months laterWe had spent the time the doctors had given Aitana and although I wish that was the sign that they had made a mistake with the diagnosis, that was not the case. She had gotten much worse. So much that it hurt.There were times when she didn't remember who she was, others, where she didn't know how to move and at some, she would become so violent as she screamed for them to end her life. She would vomit, many times she would soil herself because she couldn't even warn them.Other times, she would wake up not knowing how to talk and with each step, her brain cancer would take over so much that we had to put the videos and photos we had taken on each walk, because many times she was suspicious even of the children.Today, for example, she did not speak, she did not move, it seemed that she was in a vegetable state, but, it was because her brain was barely functioning, being invaded by a tumor that looked like something full of spikes that were even

    We had to let go and I was glad that even remembering all that we had lived and not remembering how well we had spent these months traveling, she decided to move forward. I couldn't say that I decided without knowing what I was doing, because Aitana knew it and I was glad she didn't hold a grudge."I want to leave here. I want us to resume our family trip today" Aitana says and I try to process what's going on."I understand, we will be leaving today" I say trying to get up."Although I don't remember what happened these past few months, there are pictures that give me an idea of it. Also, a few days ago, I had started to write down my thoughts of what I had experienced and although I left a general idea of what I had experienced, I know that I have enjoyed it. That we have been happy" says Aitana and I nod."We really have been. Even though we have measured time, we've spent time being happy the four of us." I murmur and she holds out her hand, which I take.

    I could not understand what was going on. The woman who had been hostile when I asked her to come back, was now kissing me. I didn't understand what was going on and although I wanted to kiss her, I pulled away feeling that I was taking advantage of her confusion."Is something wrong?" asks Aitana and I stick closer to the back of my seat, to be away from her."I don't want you because of your mental confusion to feel like I'm taking advantage of you by kissing you" I say and she smiles."I'm the one who started the kiss.""But, I have my memories and I know you didn't agree to come back with me before the surgery or after you didn't have all your memories of the past like you do now." I murmur and she smiles."You are so cautious now. You don't look like the man who kissed me on our wedding day, just because I had another man's scent near me" she murmurs.I immediately, blush for having been so bold knowing I had a curse that could have killed he

    The following dayWe had not been able to leave Amsterdam as we had planned, because Aitana was still not awake. Fortunately, the doctors said it was exhaustion that had her sleeping and not something serious.Exhausted from almost no sleep, thinking that she would wake up, I go out to have some coffee and with the computer working on the door of her room, I wait for the hours to pass. However, I have barely managed to sit up in the chair, when I hear a groan.Fearing that something bad has happened in my absence, I open the door to the room, which makes my legs weaken. The woman, who had not woken up, moans slightly as she tries to get up."I'll help you" I say running to her.Gingerly, I help her to sit up and I stand watching her, waiting for a scolding for allowing her to fall, an apology for scaring us or anything. I don't care if it's an insult, what matters to me, is that she speaks.That she tells my mind that she's alive. Because just seeing he

    After the words he had said, the boys tried to be strong, but, again they walked away and in front of the pulpit they cried begging for strength to face this, I felt the same way.In silence I cried and when we ran out of energy, we looked at each other and I felt it, the connection of father and sons had been formed, there was no way for anyone in the world to deny or doubt that they were my sons, because this calamity, had consolidated the attempts of connection that in the past had been tried to be made.Something good had happened among so much suffering, but, I did not like the way it had happened. It was painful, we were united, but, it was painful to see my children suffer and me not being able to do something to be able to alleviate their pain."What should we do now?" asks Albert"Show strength to their mother. She suffers a lot, but, she keeps it quiet because she doesn't want you to realize what is happening. But, she didn't want to do that

Relief overcomes us and the boys thank God audibly as they wait to see their mother.Happy that my children are not violent like me, we advance to the room where the woman is still not awake. The doctor watches me and I understand that the time to know everything is now.So, I nod for the doctor to come to us and help me to tell what is happening with Aitana. Because I know that alone I can't and I can't disturb more Aitana who tries to look strong, although she suffers a lot."Guys..." I say calling their attention, after they both take their mother's hand, to then kiss this or her forehead."Is something wrong?" asks Albert when he sees that the doctor doesn't leave."I want you to hear your mother's health report. But, before that, I want you to tell me something, are you guys tough guys?" I ask and they look at each other"

So, I run towards the people trying to run away from me.Seeing how they run, the desire to hunt takes over me and I run transforming myself into the wolf that never loses a prey.
