Three-no four days went by, without me realizing it. Rather, I was paralyzed. I woke up feeling stuffy, I don't know what happened to mama or how's she doing, I'm sure she has a lot on her shoulders. After a good sleep, I feel refreshed, what's missing here is mama's warm voice and awkward jokes. I'm yearning her presence, at the same time I'm slowly giving up, I'm bleeding, tired, and hurt too.
I don't want to break mama over everything she did for me. I don't want to leave such a great person without telling them how precious they are. But I'll need to have hope for her sake.. I'll just cope with this a little longer until the cure reaches the city. I hope mama comes today-I miss her.
After a while mama came pulling her legs behind her as if she had been working day and night, "it's been a while Anna." she sat next to me. a big sigh parted her lungs as she lent herself to the back of the chair. what happened? What's making her like this? As I was still confused she said " I was late taking Alice to her first day at school." She's a first-grader now, isn't she? I hope she's doing well...I don't know what kind of life she lives, we are sisters but we lack the bond, it's as if we are strangers, does she hate me? I always feel uneasy when mama talks about her. I could've protected her in her bad days, when the kids bullied her or when she had a severe fever... but nothing is in my hand, Everything seems to be so complicated to me because, literally I can't do anything for anyone, it's frustrating.....
Mama's phone vibrated on the edge of my fingers, it was a long one, I knew it was a call, not a message, but why isn't she picking up?
The phone kept vibrating until it hung up itself, after a minute or so, the phone rung again. Mama snatched the phone "oh my god! Did I just sleep! I have a missed call from Judith! I'm in big trouble!" She said with a cracky voice. She stood up walking back and forth in the room mumbling to herself. Then it rang again.
"Ah! Judy... yeah... what? It's a girl?... Congratulations sister! I'm so so happy for you! I must come to visit soon... yeah... it's true... five?! I thought it was a decade since I last saw you... I'm sorry it's my fault... haha you think so?... anyway, I have work to deal with right now sorry Judy, talk to you later... bye, bye."
she seemed sad, she went silent for a while. Then an unexpected thing she said,
" I wish you wake up... there is something about you that can't make me give up on you... I don't know, maybe motherhood? Alice needs a sister... and I– I don't think I can protect you in the future... I'm so worried that I'll go and you'll stay hanging alone here... there is a whole world yet to see so please... wake up..." yes, she was crying. My heart ached —somehow— my finger flinched, which gave me severe pain in my whole arm starting from my index finger finishing off with my left shoulder. She realized it, I never moved a single nerve in my body I barely move my lungs with surgeries. "Anna! My dear! Do you hear me?!! Bring the doctor right now!"
...Hurts... I–can't...
I don't know anything... my brain is fuzzy and my heart is beating fast. I think I hear a crowd murmuring but I'm not sure what's going on... "judging by her heartbeat, I think she woke up now, miss Edith" a doctor? I hardly hear anything.... "you can talk to her as usual and we will have to check something, it may take a few days to confirm it and give you the sold information." What is it? Information what? Ugh, my head hurts...
