Aunt Widow | Chapter 4
Finally, Lucia broke the silence.
I don't know what brought you here today, but I feel like there's something more to your visit.
I froze. My mind went blank. What was I going to tell him?
You don't have to say anything if you don't want to -Lucia said-. But I know there's something that's worrying you.
Yes, that's true - I replied -. There's something that concerns me.
What is it?
It's... it's that...
What?
It's that... I worry about you.
Lucía smiled.
-Thanks. That means a lot to me.
There's no need to.
I feel like I haven't treated you well lately. I've been very distant.
Don't worry. I understand.
No, you don't understand me. I feel like I've been a bad aunt.
It's not true. You haven't been bad. You're just going through a tough moment.
Yes, but that doesn't give me the right to try to treat you better.
Don't worry. It's already forgotten.
Lucía looked at my eyes.
-I know it's not much, but... would you like me to stay here tonight?
I was surprised.
What?
I'd like to stay here tonight. It would make me feel better knowing you're here.
-Of course yes. I would love to stay here.
Lucia smiled again, but will staying here be a sign?
Thanks for staying sweetie, the girls are more relaxed with your visit.
That night, Lucia and I talked for hours. She told me she was still in love with her husband and that it hurts a lot that the girls no longer have a father at home, besides not knowing what to do about what's coming, not just financially but also making their lives stable. Abigail and Daniela would need a father to guide them in the end because even though Abi is bigger now, it doesn't mean she no longer depends on a dad, I don't know how else to help my aunt but it made me happy to see her smile for a moment, her smile was what filled me with energy, that beautiful smile of hers fills my soul.
The next morning, I said goodbye to Lucia and left her house.
Auntie by the way, I realized I don't have your number, I left mine here in case you need something or if you just want someone to listen to you with great pleasure I'll be there for you
-Thanks for everything. Smiling with her rosy cheeks. I love you carefully grown up, hope to see you again soon and soon.
While driving back to my city, I felt happy for having been able to spend time with my aunt.But that conversation at night left me with many questions and a certain point of calm but with more pending of wanting to be with her, I also felt hopeful that, over time, Lucia could overcome her loss and find happiness again, but how? More questions opened up for me like What would happen to the girls? Who would take care of my aunt's mental health? How would it be solved? Where would she lean on? When would she stop feeling sad? or What was coming according to my aunt? I don't know how a woman as beautiful as her can go through this alone but the only thing that is that I don't want to leave her alone.Two weeks had passed after that incident where I ended up sleeping at her house, and although it was in the guest room, I felt closer to her. A message from out of nowhere entered my messaging, it was my aunt recognizable by her profile picture, I have to admit that I knew she was a beautiful woman but since the death of my uncle I couldn't believe I hadn't seen her more like a woman, an impelent angel, blonde, mature woman who stays young, everything a man needs in his life.
-Hello nephew, I hope you're not busy next weekend but I'd like to chat with you about something. I don't know how to tell you but the family can't find out. I feel like I have to tell you. I know you'll be able to helpThat message made my heart beat a lot after reading it. I don't know how to tell you but the family can't find out. God, was I going through something? Or what the hell is he referring to? This was getting crazier every time but this time I wasn't thinking straight, could it be that he discovered I have feelings for her? Anyway, I would go early this time, my girlfriend stayed at home and I mentioned to my friend again that I would go back with herIt's become a habit for you to go with that friend, hasn't it?
Relax Jennifer if I wanted to deceive you, you would have noticed already or my mother would have told you, I'll only go because she has problems with her... with her husband
You're not even sure what you're saying, these days you've been acting really strange... like you're hiding something from me on top of this weekend being our anniversary, how could you forget?
Damn! I completely forgot, I was so focused on that message driving me crazy that I forgot my anniversary too and haven't gone out with her since, she'll probably suspect something like this if I don't take the risk. I want Jennifer but this curiosity about my aunt is making me even crazier. I had to take a chance
-Sorry love, but it's an emergency I hope you understand that even though I can't tell you now promise to compensate you later.
No, I don't know what's wrong with you but if you can't handle this I think it will really annoy me, hope you'll be fine by the weekend.
Now if I was at a crossroads. It was already Saturday and the decision was to take it or leave early, take the car or stay and wait for my girlfriend. When a notification sounds, I thought it was my girlfriend but it was my aunt.
Hello, just to confirm if I'll see you today. If you can, I'll leave the location and be there for a bit with my daughters.I thought if it was something ordinary, he wouldn't say everything in the previous message, but my aunt's insistence that I see her made me take the car keys and head to that location as fast as possible, with my heart pounding like an adolescent's.I arrived late because the location marked me in a forest with cabins to vacation or rest from the city, parked my car and headed to the exact location. It was very quiet there and where the girls and my aunt were, it was nice, a cabin next to a river and some swings. The girls were on those swings, got off and came running to hug me although somewhat disconcerted that nothing else would come with me, they were happy.
-It's great to see you again!.- Said Daniela
-Since you came last time our mom has been a little less sad and honestly we too so thanks for coming - Said Abi.
Don't worry girls, they know it gives me a lot of pleasure being with you. They know where their 'mommy' is.
-He said that if we saw her, you would go to see her on the patio of the cabin she had something important to tell you alone. - Said Daniela
-Haha, probably wants you to be our dad.- Said Abigail with a joking tone.
-Ha ha, like they believe girls.
Definitely I would like to be it... ¡¿I would like to be it?! God my each time I think badly besides I know it's Abi's joke but would you like me to take care of them? I don't know what was happening but every time I approached that cabin, my nervousness was more intense, the mystery my aunt was putting out was strong so I couldn't feel secure, so when I approached the door it was open and there she was sitting with a rocking chair.
-Oh... Hello... Hello Lucia nice to meet you.
Hello son, come on. With a sweet tone in your voice.
I couldn't believe how incredible it looked, she was radiant, her loose and golden hair, her white and beautiful skin, I couldn't contain myself and let go of it.
You look more beautiful today than usual, Lucia
-Do you really believe it? I thought I wouldn't care about this kind of flirting anymore but many thanks, it makes me feel good. Although save them for your girlfriend, she might think badly of me haha.
She doesn't get to you, Lucy, you're much more beautiful than that
-Haha good calm remember you're my nephew
Devils! I thought I felt closer to her and she reminds me that I'm her nephew, this disheartens me. But I must keep my composure and know why they call me by that name.
I know it's not easy but I'd like to know how you are, Lucia.
I am... I am facing things and I don't know how to do it because I didn't want to worry your family any more and I don't want them to always take care of me, I feel not only invaded in my personal life but also overwhelmed with the death of your uncle, and even more now that something is happening that I didn't know.
You're really worrying me a lot aunt
Will it be something I've done? or what will it be, when suddenly I see that her beautiful hands so lovely are heading as if to hug something but all I see is how they're going down to her belly. That's when I went blank because I knew it was happening.
Cousin... you?
I'm pregnant with my nephew. And I don't know what to do but I want you to help me.
What about me?!
Finally, Lucia broke the silence.
I don't know what brought you here today, but I feel like there's something more to your visit.
I froze. My mind went blank. What was I going to tell him?
