THE LIGHT OF MY HOPE

A look returned my heart, how much emotion I sprinkle on my chest. Seeing the eyes of my beloved daughter for the first time, the mere fact of having her in my arms and kissing her delicate and fragile fingers, erased the sadness of my loss, my beautiful lady could not bear the birth and her deathbed she asked me to love her as much as she did and to protect her with my life. It's been 25 years now and her smile is becoming more beautiful, her hair is black as a coal and her eyes green as her mother. On the day of her wedding I gave her the greatest gift imaginable, a letter from her mother saying: I know you waited for this moment, my love girl, to hear my voice embodied in these words, believe me I love you more than nothing in the world and from the first day I realized that I was pregnant I knew that I would love you with all my heart, be happy and you have happy your father, he also loves you with all your being .... could not contain the tears, I approached him and gave him a big hug, took out my handkerchief and wiped a tear that fell down his cheek, it's time, the groom waits at the altar. The wedding was successful and everything was going great. But ... sometimes the day gets dark earlier than usual.

The night came and the phone rang Lucia was my daughter, she was crying, her husband had arrived past drinks and had mistreated his delicate face, filled me with anger and I wanted to go to confront him, she told me not to aggravate things. She was determined to quit, but she realized she was pregnant. She told the news to her husband, but she did not like it, and told her to have an abortion. Lucia did not know what to do, the man she had fallen in love with had disappeared. Her husband came out to drink and I took the opportunity to call. I got in the car and drove home. Her husband arrived earlier than she thought, sat down in a chair and asked for a glass of whiskey, Lucia told her to lie down and not take more, he filled her rage with her hair and dragged her down the stairs, she feared so much that he did not dare to say a word to him, only protected his belly while his beautiful skin its cold by rudeza of the ground, I leave it lying in the hall and entered his room, opened the cabinet and I take out a pistol, the charge and I point you in the head, what do you do? I told him, he was surprised to see me and he said fuck you old man, it's not your problem! I ran quickly where it was lucia, I hugged and I said I was not alone. It filled with rage and I take the coat, I saw the pistol approaching my head, react quickly and a shot escaped, it crashed into the nearest wall, we continue to struggle, but it was stronger than I, I throw myself on the ground and he gave me two shots in the abdomen, when he saw that I did not move but he walked towards lucia, my world gradually became dark, but a light spoke to me and said, do not give up, your daughter needs you, remove forces where I did not have them, I stood up, the wretch points to my beautiful Lucia, I approach and take the gun, we struggle again, we rolled down the stairs and a shot escaped, try to get up but I had lost a lot of blood, the wretch was dead, the shot pierced his heart. Lucia fell quickly and put me on her legs, with tears in her eyes telling me not to leave her alone, touch her cheek and I told her to be strong for the son who was waiting, that I would be well and that soon I would meet her mother, she hugged me tightly and told me she loved me ... FIN.
