Chapter44

Pdv Marielle,

It's been three months since I knew that my mother is severely ill and that her condition is critical. But I was hopeful that she would get out of it. After all, what is safer than hope? I have. I thought I had prepared for this eventuality and that if one day I were told that my mother was dead, I will understand and I will just say to myself "yes I expected that", but reality has just shown me its cruelty and it's not at stake. This suffering that I feel right now, I swear I have never felt it and even I have never imagined it. My heart tightens and my head becomes heavy, everything no longer matters all of a sudden, despite all the effort I make for my tears, they do not obey me and flow afloat like sea waves. My friends? What can they say in this situation apart from looking at me?

Me: let me join my mom, I say crying this time making no effort to hold me back.

Mau gets up from his chair and comes to press me very hard against him. I admit that it relieves me a little.

Mau; we're here, we're going to overcome, he says by hitting my back.

Pdv Merveiile,

In front of this scene, my heart tightens and beats, my breathing accelerates and my brain no longer follows. I am afraid. I look at Jozy who has a smile, why does she smile? I know that maybe I will be told this news, let's hope the clinical test worked. If Marielle finds herself in this state, I can't imagine what I'll do. I am afraid.

Lyna: calm down, it's going to be okay, she said, noticing my weird reaction.

I think we've always made conjectures but being in front of a similar scene allows me to realize the cruelty of this shitty life, why should some die very early and others very late? Why should it be like that?

Pdv Mau.

This morning I was in a very bad mood and especially sad for Marielle's mother, or rather for Marielle. This old woman has always been kind to and often invited us to eat good dishes. I dress quickly and go out for classes, when I arrive at the premises of the establishment, I go straight into our room, I was a little late so everyone was present except Marielle. The course takes place normally after the teacher has given me a warning, an hour later, Marielle enters the classroom without knocking.

Prof: come out miss?

Marielle: if not, what does she say in the way of someone who goes into a spin? But is she already getting drunk this morning?

Teacher: ....

Lyna: let it pass for this time, sir, she said, making a sign of forgiveness to the teacher.

Marielle: so my darling I'm coming to sit next to early she says, I agree with my head.

When she comes to sit down, I can effortlessly distinguish the strong smell of alcohol. Marielle is completely drunk. I made a sign to others to inform them of Marielle's condition. I ask the teacher for permission and take him to the toilet. With effort, we were able to go unnoticed despite his zigzag approach and his unjustified desire to laugh.

Marielle: so do you think my mother is in paradise? She said laughing.

Me: yes, and she watches over you, I say, holding her head. Before she even takes a step back, she calls a powerful vomit. She vomits at least five minutes and I just hold her hair back.

After that, we stayed there all the time of class, after it was the break so we left directly for the canteen.

Pdv Eve.

We were already in the canteen with Jozy, Marielle and Nando when the twins and Paul arrived. Mau is absent from the call and we all have our little idea of the cause of his absence.

Jozy: Marielle is doing well, she says calmly.

Lyno: she arrived drunk at school today, he says disappointed.

Paul: I don't know where she is with Mau.

Wonder: I think it's a good thing that you are always present with her, we will avoid a disaster.

Me: here they are.

Even from afar, we can notice that she doesn't really look on her plate, it's with Mau's help that she manages to walk. She suffers and it seems to be terrible as suffering, very frankly, I wouldn't like to be in her place, very frankly. They arrive at our level and then Mau pulls a chair for her to sit down but Madame has no desire to sit down, she takes out her phone.

Marielle: look at how pretty my mom is, she says laughing and showing the photo of her mother, which attracts everyone's attention.

Lyna: Marielle calms down and sits she tells you by taking her by the waist and making her sit gently.

Marielle: So what do guys tell? We're going to have a drink, she says laughs?

Nando: lend me the phone he says by taking the phone immediately. He focuses on the phone as if he knew the person in question.

Marielle: you are under the spell not she says laughing.

Nando: My father tastes really good. She's Dad's mistress when I was two years old. You may be my half-sister Marielle. Everything is written in a newspaper.

The situation has just changed, I think the news has had its effect, her alcoholism seems to have calmed down a little and she sees nando a little strangely. Now that we look at them more closely, no one has ever made the link but they look the same.

Mau: I've always found that you look like yourself, he still says in shock.

Marielle: half-sister in what sense? Do we even have a father? You are crazy. Everyone knows my father and knows that he is the director of this school.

Nando: Your father is more than just a director. In the diary I'm going to show you when you get better, my father and your mother had a secret relationship and your pregnancy came, your mother was married and my father too so she gave the fat to her husband who had no child, we have almost the same. I saw them when I was two years old just before my parents ended their lives on earth. I have never lost her face because she has all my heritage.

Jozy: I understand better why my father didn't want to tell us anything about the woman's identity. She knows something, she says as if she had just understood something.

Marielle: so I have a brother, she says while crying more beautiful. I want to read this diary after my mom's funeral.
