Chapter 3.
Sleeping Beauty.
I didn't understand why they were both crying and clinging to the stretcher and holding my hands, my mother couldn't speak, it was as if she was excited and felt nostalgic while Kira thanked God that she could finally wake up.
I didn't understand that kind of fuss, but after drinking some water that the nurse gave me, I asked: ¿why are you crying mother I just fainted a little? ¿How have you been?
You collapsed in front of me, but, trembling and with a face full of tears, I heard her answer: My love, I have not collapsed. You are the one who has collapsed to the ground in front of me. I carried you here. Tell me, Kate, ¿why do you want to leave? ¿Am I not a good enough mother? But the girl answered: ¿What are you talking about? If it was you, I saw you fall before my eyes after you sang happy birthday, in the middle of nowhere I brought you here… and turning her head, the girl held the nurse's hand and said: tell my mom that I was the one who brought her here… that I was the one who registered her, but tears spilled even from the nurse when she said: darling, you are wrong, it was your mother who brought you here for a poisoning given by yourself on your birthday, you have been asleep for two long years, you are no longer 25 you are 27…
That hit me like a bomb… ¿How was it possible that time passed so quickly and at what point did I try to commit suicide? ¿And for what reason would I do it?
There is something I am not understanding, until I hear the voice of the mysterious man from before saying: until you woke up my sleeping beauty, ¿who the hell was that man and why did he talk as if he were familiar when I don't even know him?
Then I look at my mom and I look at Kira and they look down, none of them say anything, it seemed very unfair to me that they didn't even look at me, they just lowered their heads as if they were in front of someone older.
Then the man stood in front of me and with a strong accent that seemed like Vadim's, he answered: Sleeping Beauty, I suppose you have no idea who I am, ¿right Kate? I immediately told him that I didn't know him, but that I was curious to know why he was in my room, to which he said: don't interrupt me little one and let me formally introduce myself, the man smiled grimly and said: that's right, while he rested one of his hands on my mother's shoulder and continued saying: I'm your father...
¿My father? My eyes were completely expressionless trying to meet those of my mother who seemed devastated, but who didn't deny anything, in any case she seemed like someone who has been discovered, but then I ask her: ¿mom, is this man lying right?
However, he continues saying: how scandalous you are, that's why I asked her: He got it from me, let me bring you up to date darling, but my mother's voice in a shaky thread looked at him saying: Leo, please let me talk to her first, I looked at her confused, but I didn't accept that this disgusting excuse of a man seemed to be my father until I heard him speak the Zoldych dialect typical of the capital, then I realized that this man in front of me is my biological father.
