Rain was really scared for Estela, after several days in a row like this, she straightened her clothes, stood up somewhat negatively and walked towards Nilson….
Hearing her footsteps, Nilson turned, saw her about to bend down to take Estela back to him and hurriedly got up, reaching out to take her himself….
Rain looked at her daughter’s little face and uttered a threat:
-Estela you remember me, if you stop crying when I really hold you, I’ll give you to him, mommy doesn’t love you…..
Evidently, Estela did not catch her mother’s threat and, once in Nilson’s hands, she stopped crying as soon as the magical sound passed through her head….
Lluvia felt like she was going to vomit blood as she looked at her daughter who changed her face in a second….
Nilson, however, was overflowing with joy, he hugged Estela, who smiled at him, and looked at Lluvia in front of him with a slight smile curving the corners of his lips.
-Doctor Lluvia, keep your word.
Lluvia, just as angry, raised her eyes at him.
-Do you really want to take my Estela away from me?
Despite that strong tone, as if she would fight him if he dared to say yes, Nilson still saw a glint of unease in her eyes….
Why is she angry?
He really isn’t a thief, even if he liked Estela better, he wouldn’t do something so over the top….
Nilson lightened his tone a bit and said faintly:
-Doctor Rain also needs to be seen by a brain specialist, like I said last time….
After a pause, he saw a couple of flashes of puzzlement in her eyes before continuing:
-Estela needs her mother, and I’m not taking her, but if you turn me down again, I’m taking you with me.
Lluvia clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes.
Estela needs a mom…
What the fuck kind of reason is that…
She turned around and went straight to the bathroom to brush her teeth.
When she came out, Nilson was sitting in the chair he had just been in, hugging Estela and holding her hair, Nilson smiled at her and Estela smiled back, and when she smiled, Nilson felt so happy that he looked down and kissed her little face….
Lluvia wanted to tell him not to kiss the baby, but finally resisted and came closer, compromising:
-Mr. Nilson please come back, I promise to return to Echave City with you tomorrow.
I was sleepy and didn’t want to keep spending time with him,?
he said, bending down to carry Estela….
Then, as soon as Estela reached her, she changed her face in a second and cried again!
Lluvia hugged a tearful Estela and just gritted her teeth.
-Estela, does mommy have thorns in her hands? I cry when I hug you.
Nilson stood up and reached out to take her hand.
-I’ll put her to bed and leave when she’s asleep.
Estela stopped crying when she was in his arms….
Nilson was brimming with accomplishment and Lluvia, looking frustrated, turned to gather her things.
In fact, she is also willing to go back tomorrow first and take her son to play, it doesn’t suit her either, besides her classmates are curious about who the father of her son is and look at her funny, she doesn’t like playing with them either….
With things packed up and nothing else to do, I was relieved to see that Estela was also tending to sleep and sat on the edge of the bed….
True to her habit, before long Estela was asleep.
Nilson kept his word and reluctantly led Estela to Lluvia, said goodnight and turned to the door, before his hand touched the doorknob….
-What…?
Estela cries again and again!
Heartbroken and joyful at the same time, Nilson immediately returned and picked up Estela….
Estela stopped crying as he expected, squinting her eyes and about to go back to sleep, her eyelashes still wet….
Lluvia can’t describe what it feels like to see her daughter….
Nilson’s heart filled with joy, he held her for a while, saw that she was asleep and was about to give her to Lluvia, when Estela cried again before he could reach her!
Nilson had to pull his arm away and continue to let Estela sleep a little longer, then he went back to that cycle where Estela would cry as soon as he gave Lluvia a hug….
So glued to him?
Nilson, getting more and more cheerful, said to Lluvia:
-Lie down and I’ll put you next to me when you fall asleep.
Lluvia was so out of it with her daughter that she rolled over and collapsed on the bed.
But this still doesn’t work, obviously I see Estela asleep and just bend over and start crying before I have time to put her to bed….
After one and two, Lluvia, who hadn’t been sleeping well for a few days, lay down on the bed and fell asleep….
Nilson frowned at the sight of the girl in his arms, then looked at the sleeping Rain and went over to her, picking up the quilt that had been lifted from a corner.
He put it back down again for fear of waking a sleeping Rain, lying in a position where the shadows under her eyes were becoming more and more pronounced, and guessed that Estela had probably been like this for the last few days….
Nilson glanced around the modest room and this image flashed through his mind.
Lluvia was alone with her baby, perhaps nursing him repeatedly all night, carrying him all over the house, but still she couldn’t stop crying….
An inexplicable emotion welled up in Nilson’s heart, as if from the heart, from the heart for Lluvia, a single mother who had survived pregnancy alone, from wanting to get rid of her baby to loving her deeply….
The more he realizes the truth of the saying, every mother, she’s great….
Nilson blames himself a little when he thinks about how he treated his mother today….
In the middle of the day, he looked down at the little girl in his arms and whispered:
-Estela, you can’t torture mom like that.
The little girl slept deeply, her mouth imitated the movement of drinking milk, she moved and hummed softly, as if in response to him….
He sat down with Estela in his arms on the other bed and carefully placed her on it, quickly taking off his shoes and coat himself and lying down beside her, Estela did not seem the least bit about to cry….
Nilson surprised, clearly she couldn’t leave him a moment ago….
Is it because she’s here?
How much does this little girl like it?
But more than that, there is joy and satisfaction….
Although he was tempted to go wash up, he feared that if he walked away, Estela would cry again and he would have to wake up Lluvia, so he just turned off the main light, leaving a dim wall lamp, faced Estela and closed his eyes.
It’s late and she’s sleepy….
It’s not that he doesn’t want to go, it’s that Estela won’t let him go…..
Rain talks in the middle of the night if you want to get rid of him…..
While he was blurring his thoughts and drifting off to sleep, he thought he heard a familiar female voice around him, in a sobbing tone:
-No… let me go… I’m a doctor, I’ll prescribe you… no…. …
Is this voice from a dream or is it reality?
Why does it sound so vaguely familiar?
Nilson opened his eyes wide and let out a sigh, and his eyes met with a pale orange light….
-Please leave me alone….
It’s Rain’s voice!
Nilson turned around, got out of bed and took a step towards the dim wall lamp, where Lluvia, eyes closed and frowning, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes, hands clutching the sheets, head slightly shaking, was murmuring in pain:
-No…
Was he thinking about that horrible encounter?
Disconsolate, Nilson leaned over and stroked her cheek, crying out with a certain urgency in his tone:
-Rain, Rain, Rain, wake up, wake up, it’s only a dream…..
Rain slowly opened her eyes, still dense with moisture and pitiful, and her heart fluttered…..
Nilson looked at a fragile and vulnerable Rain and made a promise:
-That’s all in the past, no one dares to bully you anymore, I swear…..
Rain, hands clutching the sheets, looked at Nilson with dazed eyes, wordlessly, as if she didn’t know if she was awake or asleep, with no trace of her former aggressive appearance, like a wounded white rabbit….
Nilson got a lump in his throat at the sight of her, ran his eyes over her small, slightly pale face, her lips slightly parted, withdrew his hand and looked away.
-Go back to sleep…
Then he was about to straighten up, but Rain moved very quickly to wrap her arms around his neck and around his neck, making him fall back heavily onto the fluffy pillows, and the next second, soft lips crashed against his….
His lips pressed together and Rain rubbed them gently before releasing him….
The soft lips left his and Nilson felt a great loss. Instinctively, without hesitation, he pressed his lips tightly over hers, eager to attack, sucking on her lips, not knowing for a moment what to do, until Rain opened her teeth slightly and, as if suddenly knowing the trick, burst with dominance…. …
