««Flight 326 from Australia to Pennsylvania is ready, please board gate 6B.»»
Alex took one of my hands and with the other free he held my bags. He was sad because this would be the last time I would see him, it was very bad to tell the truth and add that he had been the only one to come.
"Ready little one." We stopped near the boarding point, I looked at her face and she had one of those smiles that said everything will be fine.
"I'm going to miss you a lot," I hugged him. "Too much, I don't know what I'm going to do without your scolding and advice." I hear him laugh softly.
"I call you every day, I'm going to miss you" he kisses my forehead and he looks at me tenderly as he leaves my bags on the floor.
"I'm sorry, for everything," I murmured against his chest.
"Don't apologize, darling, everything will be fine." He calms me down and smiles.
"You are the best brother in the world," I smiled finally separating myself from him.
««Last call for flight 326.»»
"I think it's time to go."
"I'm afraid so, take care of the little watermelon" I look at him for the last time "I love you."
"Me more." I placed a chaste kiss on her cheek and walked toward the boarding point.
I didn't look back, knowing that I would instantly break down. But if the price to pay was to separate myself from those I wanted so as not to ruin my family, I was willing to do it.
I got out of the taxi putting on my blouse. I watched the construction in front of me with great shock. The house was not exaggeratedly large, but simple, with a homey and welcoming touch. It was in the middle of what seemed to be the beginning of a forest and from there you could hear the sound of birds and the sound of the wind. Aunt Rubí, according to what my father told me, had always opted for the simple, far from the extreme and the luxurious.
The taxi driver, after lowering my suitcases, left me in front of the house. I took my things as I began to walk towards the residence that until now no one gave signs of leaving.
"I can't believe you're here!" A lady of medium height, pale T-shirts, blue eyes with thick lashes and brown hair came out of the house, wrapping me in a warm hug.
"Aunt Rubí !!" I greeted with a smile.
"But look how big you are, little flower." She gave me a kiss on the forehead. "I can't believe it's you, the last time I saw you you were five years old." Come in, calm down. ”He held up one of my suitcases and led me inside with a smile.
The interior of the house was much more comfortable, it was simply decorated, all in warm, spring tones. Despite being somewhat small, it had a second floor that I assumed were the bedrooms.
"I had something ready for when you get here, come with me." She led me into what appeared to be the kitchen. I put my bags to the side of the room and walked next to her sitting in one of the offices at the table. Tell me, how was your flight? Sorry for not going to look for you at the airport but I had a little problem - she spoke herself taking some dishes from the kitchen cupboard.
"Do not worry. As for my flight, it was somewhat tedious but I'm already here and that's what counts." I smile weakly, settling myself in the chair, staring at something that helped me.
"Your mother has already told me why you're here," she says after a long silence between the two of us, setting a plate in front of me.
"I'll be alone here until she gives birth," I clarified.
"That's not a problem, you can stay with me as long as you want, so I wouldn't be alone." I won't hide my enthusiasm for the news but at the same time I'm amazed, ”she says, pointing at me and then handing me a plate of lasagna.
"Why does she excite you?" I look at the plate with some doubt.
"It'll be like taking care of you again," she said with a warm smile.
"It was a mistake, I know." But, this baby is not to blame for anything and the truth is that I already love him. ”I put a hand on my flat stomach, she looks at me lovingly as she approaches me.
"How much are you?"
"Three months just turned."
"I can see the love in your voice darling and even though you are small, the baby is still not to blame for anything, he deserves all the love I know he will have from you" He runs one of his hands through my hair.
"It will be, aunt."
"Eat honey, now you should eat for two." I laugh a little.
