C5 A song, a memory
- Hello Mom?
- Yes my darling! How are you?
- Yes mom! I am fine and you?
- I'm fine my darling! It's true that work makes me very tired but I'm fine!
- The hospital staff works a lot, so I'm not surprised!
- That's right! I guess you're at school since it's the first day of school! So, how is it going?
- It's going fine, mom!
- And Emily? She's proud to be at the university I guess!
- Yes and thank you for taking an interest in her even though she is not your daughter, it shows once again what a big heart you have mom! I still can't understand what made Dad leave such a beautiful and good woman like you!
He talks to her as he walks across the yard, his left hand in his pocket and his right hand holding the phone close to his ear.
- Ah, that's life, my son! You know, I loved your father very much. I was always faithful to him and I always behaved like a good woman! I loved our little family of three but if he decided to change everything, it's his choice, you understand?
Damien sighs before saying:
- What amazes me even more is that you don't blame him! Anyway, as you said so well, that's life! See you on the weekend?
- Of course, my darling! You'll come to the house and...
She didn't even finish speaking when he cut her off.
- If Ramos isn't there, I'll come! If not, I won't come, Mom!
- Ramos is not a bad person, my darling. Get to know him and you'll see!
- Mom, this guy doesn't deserve you and it shows! Anyway, I don't want to talk about this debate. Either he is not at home and I come, or he is here and you come home!
- And Martha? You know very well that she is embarrassed when she sees me!
- And? You are my mother, aren't you?
- My son! You're becoming a great man, you know! I love you my darling!
- I love you too mom! Well, I'll let you work!
- Okay baby!
- Maman!!!!
- Haha okay my big boy! Is it ok?
- Haha yes mom! See you later!
- See you later, darling!
She hangs up the phone, leaves her office and walks along the corridor of the hospital compound to go for a walk outside. She needs some fresh air, she needs to breathe.
This beautiful woman with golden hair, quite tall and of average build has everything that men want. She always attracts men who find that she is a woman in her forties who takes very good care of herself.
She walks with her head up and she thinks. She thinks about her past life, her present life and she imagines her future and then she thinks about how she is going to see her son on the weekend and she smiles before going back to her office and at the same time her phone rings. It is a call from her partner Ramos but what attracts her attention more is the ringing because it is a song that means a lot to her.
It reminds her of her first love, the man with whom she had her most beautiful love relationship but who left overnight without explaining anything to her. She fell into a dark depression before meeting Alejandro and then Ramos.
This song that means so much to her is about what she experienced with her first love: "Amaral - Todo la Noche". It is a Spanish song with French lyrics.
🎼🎼
Porque este mundo no lo entiendo,
Because this world I don't understand
Porque hay verano y hay invierno,
Because there is winter and there is summer
Hay alegría y dolor,
There is joy and pain
Hay una cara y su cruz
There is a face and its cross
We know each other inero
We met in January
Y me olvidaste en Febrero
And you forgot me in February
Y ahora que es quince de Abril
And now that it's April 15
Dices que me echas de menos
You tell me that you miss me
Y yo me quiero reír
And I want to laugh
What I see to do if the past never comes to pass
What will I do if the past never comes back
All night long in the street
All night long in the street,
All night long in the street,
All night long in the street
Cuando llegue el nuevo día
When the new day arrives
Dormiremos a la orilla del mar
We will sleep by the sea?
🎼🎼
She can't help but shed a few tears before wiping them away to pick up the call.
- Ramos?
The latter feels that his voice is very pale like the voice of someone who has cried.
- Have you been crying, Monica?
She wipes her tears well again, breathes deeply before answering him:
- No, no Ramos! It's just that I'm tired!
- Okay, I see! I wanted to have a dinner with Damien this weekend. You know he doesn't like me and I'd like to show him that I'm a good person not only as his future father-in-law when we officially get married, but also as a good spouse for you!
She smiles before saying:
- I was with him on the phone and we were planning to meet! So your request came at the right time!
- Ah, lucky me then!
- Yes you are, darling! Well, I have work to do. See you tonight...
- Okay my love!
She hangs up and on her desktop computer in front of her, she puts on this song and listens to it over and over again and her tears flow.
*****Bousco.****
Mother Teresa is with Juan-Pablo telling him a story but she realizes that he is not listening. Instead, he is concentrating on looking at a necklace that he has taken out of his pocket.
- I have the impression that you are not listening to me, Mr. Juan-Pablo.
He does not answer. She says to him once more.
- Is everything all right? It's not the first time you take that necklace out of your pocket you know! If it brings back bad memories, you might as well throw it away!
He lifts his head and looks at her.
- I will never throw away this necklace that reminds me of the most beautiful memories of my life. A memory that unfortunately ended badly but I prefer to keep the best!
He lets a small tear fall before kissing the necklace.
Then, he puts it back in his pocket.
- I need to sleep please!
Mother Teresa doesn't know what to do to get him to tell her his problem, but she plans to call Julio and Adrianna later to find out more about the necklace, so she can help him properly.
- I'll do it!
She pushes him off and helps him into bed and then, lightly closes the door to his room, exits the living room and heads to her house after promising to come back of course.
