Chapter 9

During this time among the Indians, not far it was a unique small town accessible by canoe.

Sonia had finally woken up but she was not speaking, her throat was still tied, she was very tired, the wife of the Indian (she was there alone who managed in French) who had taken refuge tried to feed her fruit since she had not eaten since the accident due to her deep coma.

- eat-eat, drink-water-to-be-strong.

Sonia opens her mouth and feeds herself quietly, she was lost, she did not know where she was or the reason for her presence.

- I know you wonder where are you? In time it will come, go to bed, I prepare water to wash your body. Wait here

You are going to wear my clothes, it is Indian dress you are going to like?

Sonia- a-a jjjjj

She can't pronounce a word.

- let yourself get well tomorrow, not force words okey? .

A week after.

Jack- son, but what are you doing in your room, aren't you going to school?

Christopher - daddy, we knock on at least.

Jack - what are these packs of cigarettes? You smoke?

Christopher - dad comes out of my room and toque Please.

Jack-son does not speak to me in that tone of agreement? Answer my question.

Christopher- dad I'm not ready to go to school yet, I prefer to do it again next year. I still mourn my mom.

Jack- sorry? Are you serious? Your mother and I have spent to put you in this world famous establishment and you tell me what?

Christopher- if you're interested in your money I'll get a little job and pay you back.

I have lost too many lessons and I will never be able to make up for it.

Jack- son you don't know what you're saying, the outside isn't as you think, you're only 15, you're the bravest in your classroom, your teachers are going to pull you up you know Good . Please your mom would not like this behavior, where she is at peace with her soul, I am sure that she suffers from seeing you like that and would like to come and pull your ears.

Christopher- hahaa😄😄 papa you remind me of beautiful times we spent with mom.

Hmm, daddy, I'll start again tomorrow. I do it for mom to make her happy where she is and proud of me.

Jack- well my son, I love you very much,

Suddenly the cleaning lady knocks on the door.

- Sir?

Jack- yes come in

- Madame cyndi is downstairs.

Christopher- what the fuck is she doing here, this murderer.

Jack-son I know you don't like her but that's no reason to say bad things about her, you have to understand that it's thanks to her that I found you. She is also suffering from the death of your mom, come on let's go downstairs I'll make you a hot chocolate, today I'm in the stove, justina (the cleaning lady) take your day, I want to spend the day fair day with my son.

- Thank you sir, I'm just going to go downstairs and finish my tidying up before going. Thank you again.

Jack - please justina

Christopher- I'm changing I'll join you daddy.

Jack- in the meantime you throw those cigarettes at me.

Christopher - I can't it's for a friend.

Jack- I don't wanna hear anything you'll tell your friend that I threw

Jack comes downstairs and finds Cyndi wearing a light red dress and very mini, making the table, very surprised he looks at her for a while.

Cyndi- Mister you are not going to look at me like a lost one

Jack- I'm so lost, why are you doing all this?

Cyndi- I brought you choco buns like christopher les aimes.

Christopher get off immediately

Christopher- I don't like them anymore, what my mom did in the oven and in the hand was better than your junk that you went to sort at the bakery to come and poison us like you did to my mom. And ....

Jack- enough .. (a loud voice knocking on the table) Christopher I didn't educate you like that, she's not responsible for your mother's death, it's all in your head, take these ideas out stupid and quickly apologize.

Cyndi- 😪😪 jack, Christopher I apologize for everything, but I can't take it anymore, I did everything to support you at my level, Sonia was my friend and would have liked me to take care of her family in her absence but I see that I am doing too much. You are all I have left of Sonia. But hey .... good day to you and good appetite.

Jack-.ohhh cyn-cyndi Please don't go, ...

She takes her bag and leaves.

Jack- Christopher you have to go apologize to her.

Christopher- daddy don't even try to defend her, we don't need her help, she was my mom's friend and not our friend, mom isn't here anymore so she can leave us alone, look what she to wear that prostitute's dress, can't you see that she always envied mom? Now she wants to take her place and I won't let her.

Jack- son I ....

Christopher- you're blind daddy, I wish she'd died instead of mom.

I go out for some fresh air, and above all I am not going to eat this pile of poison that she is putting on the table. See you daddy.

Jack- .....

Jack was passed by his son, he sits down and starts crying like a child and talking to himself

- God what did I do 😩😭😭 bring my wife back to me so my son will be like he was before. Sonia looks at what our son has become, I don't know what to do.
