Tears of the soul III

When I got to my room a voice brought me back to my senses and when I looked back I noticed Manuel smiling and saying:

Manuel: I am glad to hear that you came back well Zafi.

As he approached me I smiled and hugged him warmly, but of course Manuel knew me better than the back of his hand and as he accepted my embrace he said: "Manuel, you know that with me you don't have to pretend, you don't have to pretend.

Manuel: you know that with me there is no need to pretend, you are not well... besides you don't look like the Zafi I know.

As he gave me a slight smack I nodded to his comment and returning to my somewhat sad voice I decided to tell him what had happened. As I entered the room I did the usual looking out the window at the starry night while he settled on the edge of the bed and after a long silence said

Manuel: I know you have put yourself in their place, although it is not easy to accept that someone you loved so much has hidden things from you, Sapphire I know you did it to protect them but at the same time you were telling them that I didn't trust them, if I were Cedric I would be just as angry and you haven't told him about the bracelets, if you really want to turn the page you must let it all out.

I knew that his scolding was because I had also worried him, very seldom did you see a Manuel so communicative and with such a long sermon, so I decided to let it all out in front of the family and to be able to close that past once and for all and let go of those old chains.

As I left the room I was in shock as Kath had heard the whole conversation and as she frowned a little she said: I know we all must have a secret or two, but the family must always be united.

After those words I hugged her tightly and I noticed how she hugged me happily, I understood that she was the one who suffered the most because I wasn't there when she needed me the most and that was partly what I blamed myself for and it made me feel weak.

Manuel when he saw such a scene hugged us both and said happily: two drops of water -he decided to tell the others about it and as he walked away he said: "I'll see you in the dining room.

And he left leaving us alone.

I kissed her forehead and told her: my beautiful girl, you and your father are my suns and the most important thing for me.

I saw how she smiled and her eyes lit up, so we went down together to the dining room where I had to be honest and once and for all let my past go and look to the future with the opportunity that Lunita and the gods had given me.
