THE DAY

As soon as we arrived, we took the elevator up to my floor, when we arrived I opened the door and the children ran to their rooms, Megara, Amin and Zara went to the kitchen and Gustavo was still kind of weird, he went to sit on the sofa, that's when I realized that the opportunity had just arisen. I went to the sofa and sat next to him.

-You are thoughtful.

-Remember that girl I told you about?

-Yes, I remember her perfectly. (I said already imagining where he would get to)

-So she is..(he said, stopping)

-Aaaaaa??? This one that speaks soon!!.(I said)

-She is PREGNANT!!

-Noooooo impossible, how did this happen?? (I said trying to look surprised)

-you really want me to explain? (he said)

-You don't need to explain this part I already know. (I said preventing him from continuing)

-How did Gustavo Valdez let this happen? (he said putting his hand on his head)

-me to explain? (I asked)

-Funny.

-And what are you going to do? (I asked)

-I don't know.What should I do?

-I going to know? The son is not mine

-Help me man, you have more experience with this kind of thing.

-Look, first you need to assume this child and not leave the mother helpless, then you need to talk to her and see what will become of you two, if you are going to date or get married, after that and wait for the long and painful 9 months.

-Just thinking about it makes me scared

-And man I was too, but after they arrive you can't stop loving them for a single moment.

- I hope you're right.

-I know I'm right, now improve that face and come eat some hamburgers because that's not a reason to be sad but a good reason to be happy. (lifting him off the couch)

-Do me a favor?

-Of course! (I said)

-Don't say anything to anyone yet, at least until I solve everything.

-Your deadline is 9 months.(I said patting him on the back)

-GUYS THE HAMBURGERS ARE READY!!(Screamed Megara)

The children go down just like when the herd bursts.

-Slow down.(I said making them slow down)

-Here's the ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and rose sauce.(Megara said putting several pots on the table)

We started to eat and I have to admit that Megara cooks a lot well, I could open a restaurant that would be a great success, as soon as we finished eating we went to the living room, we played some board games and soon the children were sleepy, I helped christopher to bathe on account of his arm, and then I put everyone to bed. I went down to the room.

-Friend, let's go. (said to Me giving me a hug)

-Alright, I'm going to sleep too, I'm exhausted.(I said)

-Bye, we'll see you at the company!(said Zara)

-Take care.(said Megara )

-You can leave mom.(I said jokingly)

serious.(she said)

-Bye bro, let's talk!(Said Gustavo)

-Beautiful.(I said

-Guys, Uber is coming.(Zara said)

As soon as they left I put away some dishes and turned off the lights. I went to each one's room and kissed them good night. call, but it would be too late, it was already ten o'clock at night, so I sent a message:

-Hi, this is Carlos.

-All right?

I waited a few minutes, but she wasn't online, so I turned off the phone and decided to go to sleep.

I woke up for work as usual at 6 am, put on the same clothes and went down to make the children's cereal, finished the cereal and gave the dawn cry:

-COFFEE IS READY!!

Suddenly from the second floor it seemed that I was going down to the kitchen, but when they went down the stairs there were only four children.

-Good morning (I said giving each one a kiss) how was your sleep? Did you sleep well?

-Oh, today I dreamed that I was an astronaut who was traveling through the galaxies and was defeating an intergalactic pirate. (Christopher said)

-As always, your head is in the clouds.

-I already know what I'm going to put. (he said, putting his hand on his chin as if he was thinking of something out of the ordinary)

-Let me guess… An astronaut who will win a galactic war? (Said Lucas)

-Funny…(Chomp! Chomp! )...my dreams are better than yours...(Chomp! Chomp!)...(Christopher said eating his cereal)

-Enough of both!! Finish the coffee and go change. (I said ending the confusion before it could end in slaps)

Everyone went up to their rooms and changed clothes and in about 30 minutes they were at the door with their backpacks.

-Here are the lunch boxes. (I said giving each one the snacks)

-Dad, today is Aunt Megara who will take us? (Ana asked)

-No, it will be me, but why the question?

-And she might as well take us. (she said)

-Nooo, she 's too far away and if I'm not mistaken she has a trip this morning.

-Oh, I wanted her to take me. And Aunt Zara?

- Lives far away and goes straight to work.

-Uncle Amin?

-No

-Uncle Gustavo?

-Believe me, this one is more curly than pasta. And why can't I take you?

-You are very tired and this weekend was very busy.

-No more kidding, let's go. (I said opening the door and they passed one by one)

-Are you sure you still want to take us? (Ana asked as the elevator went down)

-Funny I feel that for some reason you are hiding something from me! (I said)

-Do you just suspect? (Spoken Lucas)

When Lucas said that an alert lit up in my mind, something was happening and these kids didn't want to tell me. As soon as everyone got in the car I put the backpack in the trunk and got in then locked the car.

-What are you hiding? (I said turning to the back seat)

Christopher immediately broke into a cold sweat, he didn't know how to lie so I knew he was the one who would tell me.

-ANA?

-What was the Father? I have nothing to hide.

-Lucas?

-Look, I have nothing to do with this bullshit and with them!!

-Celina?

-Hi

-What are you hiding?

-Who? (he said, pretending to be silly)

-You!!(I asked already stressed)

-Us?

-Yes, stop fooling me. (I spoke more firmly)

-I'm not hiding anything. (he said, looking away from the window)

-Well, since none of the three will tell me! (I said looking straight at Christopher)

-Christopher ? What's happening?

He couldn't lie, he was redder than a pepper.

-THE GIRLS ARE PLANNING TO GO TO THE CINEMA WITH THE CHILDREN FROM 4B!!(he yelled quickly)

-Your X9!!(said Celina angry)

-What's wrong? I can not!

-And when would you tell me? Better, when would you ask me?

-Eeeee…(they started to stutter.)

-When the cinema?

-Today (the two said)

-Today!!!

-Yes.(Celina replied)

-What time?

-At 7pm

-You're not going!

-But Father, why!? (asked Celina indignantly)

-First you are 10 years old I won't be able to go with you, second you were hiding me and third it's too late and you have to sleep early.

-But Father is that….

-Neither but not less, we end this matter here.

-Lucas help us!! (Ana said)

-Guys, I'm out of this, the cucumber and your.

-Look, it doesn't even come with that idea and I think you better behave because it's less than a month to Christmas and if you don't behave, there's no gift.

The car was silent, I didn't like to fight with them, but there were moments when I had no choice and I know that in the future they would thank me, at least I think.

We went to school. As soon as we arrived the queue at the school door was huge. When it was finally our turn the children got off and I went to work.

I was on the avenue that led straight to my company, when suddenly a noise came from the back of the car. I thought it was nothing so I continued, that's when a guy passed by my side.

-Friend here, your tire is flat.

-Are you kidding me?

-I think you better pull over and change.

-Thanks friend! (I said waving and the guy went on his way)

I kept walking until I managed to leave the avenue and enter a further street.

"Mercy!! it's just me"(I thought)

I went in the trunk and to my surprise I had used my step. What now? I'm literally lost, I looked in my phone for a guindo and luckily I had the number, so when I called:

“YOUR CREDITS ARE FINISHING PLEASE RELOAD TO CONTINUE TALKING”

“Today is literally not my day, I honestly give up” (I thought)

I had no cell phone, no car and far from work, what could I do? until my work and I arrived 1 hour late.

-Megara was looking for you, Mr. Carlos! (Said Roger at the reception)

-I know, today was not a good day for me, I'll look for her.

As soon as I entered the office, there was Megara correcting a work by Armin.

-guys. (I said getting a little sweaty)

-Late, huh, Mr. Carlos? (Said Megara)

-So, let me start. girls.

-Why?

-Long story, but moving on, then my tire blew out and when I went to call squeal my cell phone was out of credit.

-Wow, today is not your day!

-And to make matters worse, I had to leave my car on the street and take the bus, which by the way is about 40 degrees outside.

-Have you ever thought about going to church?

-I had this idea on the way, but it would delay me even more.

- Should have passed.

-So I wanted to ask you to leave early today and finish work at home because of all this.

-Okay, but I want this job tomorrow morning from my email.

- You can leave it be, can I ask another favor?

-Of

course -Can you pick up the angels at school for me?

-Yes but why?

-I need to go downtown to pick up my car and take it to the tow truck and then go to my carrier's store to pay my internet plan bill and finish the job.

-You can let me pick them up and take them for ice cream and then I'll leave them at your house.

-Thank you very much!!(I said heading towards my desk)

I arrived at my desk and there were the works that I would have to deliver tomorrow, I took them and started to organize them to take them away, but I hadn't had breakfast so I decided to go in the coffee room, I took a coffee and when I went to get a cookie what I feared most happened.

-Man, you're finally here!!(Gustavo shouted, coming towards me)

“it was just what I needed”(I thought)

-Man, my day is not being one of the best, so let's leave the conversation for tomorrow.(I said trying to get my cookie and leave, which obviously didn't work)

-Wait and don't leave, I have something to tell you.

-Mercy, since I won't be able to run away so tell me, how's it going baby?

-Guys move forward and we look forward to it.

-Will there be revelation tea? Let me know so I can miss it.

-We decided it would be a surprise.

-Man, any surprise that involves you, I'm already scared, even when it comes to something like this.

-Look at your government, I'm more responsible.

-If you're going to run for president, you're on the right track.

-Funny, but here can I invite you to be godfather?

-Dear any request from you and as if that would decide my life, but I'll think about it, can I?

-Of course, no pressure.

I left the coffee room and went to my table, got my things, said goodbye to the staff, except Gustavo and left.

-Goodbye Mr, Paul. (Speaks Porter Roger when I passed by the concierge)
