The bittersweet charm

In the afternoons after work, I used to go out to walk or play soccer with my friends and my older brother.

But there was one other nice thing that I liked to do more.

Climb up a small hill.

From there, you could see many beautiful and elegant houses.

While enjoying the greatness that God has done, I saw a very beautiful and sweet young woman that I had never seen!

When I saw her I felt my heart jump inside of me. In my face there were signs of happiness.

My body shaked like jello.

After some time, the woman that brought me to the world became friends with her. I saw her frequently and my fears disappeared. One day I dared to visit her.

Haydee greeted me very happy.

I would always take her candy and roses in the morning. And that was how she became my girlfriend.

After some time of being together we decided to join our blood as a symbol of our love.

But the surprise wasn’t very nice. Our union couldn’t be fulfilled.

She said that the best thing was for me to find myself another girlfriend.

“What? Are you crazy? I want to be with you and we are going get through this.”

Time went by and the doctor prescribed me a bitter liquid, it was very bitter!

And that’s how we did it, with a good purpose.

After trying a lot, Haydee got pregnant.

That was good news for me!

I remember I got very shaky, I almost fainted.

Haydee got an ultra. When we found out it was a girl, it was of extreme happiness for both of us!

Nine months later my princess was born.

She was the only girl, the most beautiful one in the world.

When I saw her, she was so sweet, I caressed her beautiful and

soft skin, her eyes almost closed.

A little angel.

I took her in my arms and I thanked God for this precious gift.

When she was one-year-old, I met her favorite toy, “A car?” I asked myself, “But she’s a girl?”. I was very surprised.

I put a nylon thread on it so she could pull the car and she would run and run and with her mouth she’d sound out runnn, runnnn, ruuuunnnn‌

And now I remember that bitter drink, that was so hard to digest‌ I see her smile and all the sensations become so sweet,

like you.
