A girl sang on the street every evening to pay for her mother's. But when a passing millionaire

Almighty Lord do not abandon mom I beg you make it so that we have money for her treatment let her regain her good eyesight let her let her enjoy the flowers she loves so much and be able to work and sometimes even draw do not plunge her into darkness help us I know you can do anything in this world Rita crossed herself and kissed the small icon standing on her bedside table the girl climbed into bed and almost immediately fell asleep she had an incredible dream she stood in white clothing Barefoot on a hill somewhere

singing her voice sounded pure and loud and there were people near the hill many people they all clapped in through flowers and soft toys at her Rita's heart sang too and a sweet warmth spread through her body like thick jelly filling her entire being suddenly the girl saw her mom she stood far from the hill waving Happ belied to her daughter she saw her saw her very well looking into her mother's eyes Rita saw them shining with happiness and then young Rita sang even louder even clearer her voice soared above the Earth and then suddenly

became mixed with some chirping alarm clock time to get up and get ready for school Rita stretched there was still a pleasant warmth in her body like in that wonderful dream I will sing in the Square sare and earn money for Mom's treatment Rita firmly decided getting out from under the covers at school Rita couldn't concentrate she was not thinking about lessons at all but about how she would go to the square by the shopping center today and sing the most touching songs so that passers by would shed tears then they would quickly fill her

metal box from under the cookies in which she had been keeping various girly things since childhood Rita Tores what are you thinking about today Senor dasas the Spanish teacher asked sternly I'm sorry the girl said rising from her seat and lowering her eyes my head has been hurting since this morning maybe you should see a doctor no no everything's fine Rita slumped back into her chair and took a pen in her hand ready to write down what the teacher dictated Rita returned home mom was sitting in the kitchen peeling vegetables hi Mommy the girl kissed

her mother on the cheek hello my sunshine how was school everything's fine Mom let me help you with the vegetables how are your eyes today baby I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble Melina said sadly what will happen to us when I go completely blind don't even think about it you won't go blind we'll have money for your treatment soon and you will see this world again in all its colors and details I promise you mother just smiled what a glorious daughter Heaven had given her what could Melena see in detail their meager life

she hated herself for how everything turned out in her life she couldn't give her daughter anything she didn't dare move to the capital not even to a bigger city she spent many years working at the local library and now she had to quit altogether her eyesight worsened every day expensive treatment was needed but where to find this money the two of them in the whole wide world could only rely on themselves and each other Melena blamed herself for becoming a burden to Rita and she hadn't even turned 16 yet she needed to live and be

happy but what could a girl be happy about when she has a blind mother on her hands Melena constantly thought about what she could do how to earn at least some crumbs to survive but so far nothing had come to her mind in the evening Rita put on her favorite sundress and took a cookie box with her it was a gift from a kind donor named Rosa whom her mother had cared for for several years thanks to this they now had a roof over their heads their own little apartment more resembling a shack but it

was a home their home before that Melena and little Rita had constantly moved from one rented room to another there was no opportunity to afford better accommodation there weren't many people in the Square it was a weekday and it had already rained several times Rita stood near the shopping center placed a box at her feet and froze it was scary to sing like this in plain view of everyone but her mom urgently needed treatment there was no time to waste and Rita started to sing softly at first then louder and more confidently Rita stopped noticing

what was happening around her it was always like this when the girl sang especially if the song resonated in her soul and heart and there were many such songs onlookers began to approach they enjoyed listening to the Young Beauty sing but no one rushed to drop even a single coin into the box Rita sang only three songs and then suddenly a security guard from the shopping center approached what's this Gathering here he asked asked Sterly and you young Talent better go home or I'll report you to your parents I'm not doing anything wrong Rita replied

quietly I just really need money ask your father if you need a new lipstick the guard sneered staring at her with his piggy eyes go on or you'll deal with the police the crowd dispersed Rita picked up her empty box and trudged home but something stopped her the girl turned towards the river there was a platform right on the shore where young people usually gathered it was almost empty that evening Rita settled under a spreading tree and started singing again couples began to pay attention to the Young singer someone even threw some change into the

box girls hurried to lead their boyfriends away from this beauty with a lovely voice since early childhood Rita adored singing at first it was children's song from cartoons than adult one she heard on the radio or TV you have the voice of an Angel Melena would say willing to listen to her daughter for hours a great future awaits you but the future was in no hurry to come or rather it was coming but somehow not great and beautiful but gray and mundane sometimes even hungry that evening Rita earned barely a Euro it was pitifully little

what did she hope for this wasn't to Capital where there were many art enthusiasts but at least here no one dared to chase the girl away Rita went home through the church she threw a few coins into the donation box the girl crossed herself said a quick prayer and headed home she decided not to tell her mother anything for now since then Rita started coming to the riverbank every day sometimes she managed to earn something but it seemed like she would have to walk for at least 20 years years to save up for her mom's

treatment on that day Rita realized she needed to find a job any job that paid even if it was hard she would manage she had to manage for the sake of her mother so she could see not sink into Eternal Darkness I'll sing one last time and then I'm done the girl murmured to herself and sang the song her mother love to Madness the girl's voice echoed along the shore carried by the wind there was always good Acoustics on the river only the last chorus remained I miss you like violets Mr rain you were given

to me by Fate so said the fortune teller so said the fortune teller as Rita bent down to pick up her box she suddenly saw a man in an expensive business suit walking straight towards her was he going to chase her away well she didn't care anymore she wouldn't come back here anyway Rita straightened up ready to leave wait The Stranger raised his hand you have the voice of an Angel it's the best I've heard your voice should be heard all over the world thank you sir Rita smiled but I don't need that I need

something completely different what never mind it's my problem and I doubt I can solve it the girl sighed sadly you know some sometimes it's better not to keep it to yourself but to let it out who knows maybe I can help you with something and you can definitely help me me Rita was surprised yes you if you agree to sing in my bar though you're still a young girl he scratched his chin thoughtfully are you willing to hire me Rita almost choked with joy then I can save up for treatment what treatment are you sick

no not me my mother she's losing her sight rapidly and the treatment costs a lot of money I told you it's better not to keep it to yourself do you know young talent that my uncle is a great microsurgeon working in the capital well that's great of course but it doesn't change anything where am I supposed to find the money for this treatment tell me can you sing different songs not just this wonderful lyrical one but also for example Lively or sad ones I can the girl said confidently listen to this you know nothing about

me and you don't need to know at all what I dream about awake and in my dreams while you dance so passionately Bravo The Stranger clapped his hands give me something else Rita tossed her hair tied into a ponytail with the elastic on her wrist and sang again I won't give up anything for you and don't ask my hand for my mother only music forever my love I don't have time to spend romances and this one is very sad my mom always starts crying when I sing it Rita said as if emerging from the depths

into which she was sinking with each song the girl lowered her voice don't die my dream don't Fade Away hope life will never be as it used to be I'll light a lamp now in front of the ancient icon I can understand everything in life but not treason but not cheating not cheating not cheating Rita resembled the nymph what's your name asked the Grateful listener Rita so are you hiring me her face lit up with a bright smile you'll blow up the bar Rita in a month people will come from the capital just to have

a beer and listen to that wonderful voice of yours the man hesitated but am I not suitable after all Rita looked sadly at her interlocutor it's not that you're so young don't worry about that you know when I put on makeup I look 20 you're amazing I can't Miss such a chance I'll personally take your mom to the clinic and I'll take care of your uncle just keep singing do you know the bar insight of course we don't have many places like that here especially with such a nice name and I love its tiled roof

it reminds me of a fairy tale house thanks it's my father's creation I want to revive its Glory my main business is in the capital but I'm running the bar here for now people advise me to sell it but I refuse I don't want to sell I want it to thrive can you imagine how magical my little bar will become when you sing within its walls it'll be amazing I'm ready tell me what to do first I need to talk to your mom no not that my mom absolutely can't get nervous then how will she

get treatment I don't know we need to come up with something tell her you're from social services and it's like a promotion or whatever it's called anyway tell her she'll get treatment for free you're so grown up I wish my daughter grew up like you all right it'll be Social Services let's do it tomorrow after 3 give me your address the man said taking out his his phone Rita dictated her home address by the way my name is Alberto and this is for you he handed the girl a 50 note Rita stared at him wideeye

take it my girl TI it you gave me a few moments of incredible happiness when you sang it's worth a lot thank you Rita said with feeling hastily putting the bank note into her tin box I'll be waiting for you tomorrow I'll tell my mom that social services should come I hope everything works out it will Rita it will work out for you he snapped his fingers see you tomorrow siren see you tomorrow Rita hurriedly ran home then stopped and decided to run into the store for her mom's favorite coconut candies mama I brought you

something tasty Rita shouted from the doorway her mother didn't respond on Rita felt a knot of worry forming in her stomach she entered the small kitchen her mom sat at the table her head resting on her hand Rita Where Have You Been oh I was just Mom it doesn't matter let's have tea with your favorite candies I my friend treated me what's wrong with you are you in pain as always sweetheart Melina rubbed her nose hi and eyes right her mother murmured almost inaudibly we're out of painkillers mama let me massage your head instead it'll

help you relax and the pain will ease my wonderful girl tears rolled down melena's cheeks you deserve a better mother a better life mom stop it what are you talking about I don't need another mom mom you're the best mom in the world and don't you dare get gloomy we'll beat this strange illness of yours soon Rita began to slowly conb through her mother's hair Rita you have such good hands they're as good as your angelic voice the girl smiled she hoped with all her heart that soon her mommy would regain her sight and never

let her down again the next day at A4 to 3 Alberto stood on the doorstep and his hands he held a folder with some documents he wasn't alone he was accompanied by a Charming young woman Rita escorted them to her mom's room it was only then that she realized she forgot to warn her mom about the social workers Alberto was on top of his game just like his assistant they played the social workers role so perfectly and everything was laid out so meticulously that not a single detail was overlooked melen was very surprised but she

still believed maybe she had no other choice because that morning she realized she could hardly see anything anymore Mom I'm off to the store Rita called out and went out onto the street with Alberto and lured that was his companion's Name by the way she turned out to be a waitress at the bar Rita I've scheduled for tomorrow I'll take your mom myself are you ready if she has to stay at the clinic starting tomorrow I was ready yesterday thank you so much I won't be able to repay this until I retire but I'm ready

you were wrong with such a voice Alberto was right Melena stayed at the clinic she had already received her first injection and undergone some elaborate procedures that same evening Rita had to sing at the bar the girl felt uneasy because she had never been to such a place before everything was arranged the mask the clothes L suggested wearing the mask firstly it will be harder for anyone who knows you to recognize you if someone familiar comes to the bar and secondly it's unclear how old you are she laughed great Rita agreed maybe you can come

up with a stage name for me sure thing Nightingale why Nightingale that's a bird because you sing better than than any bird Alberto told me and night andales sing before a storm or a Dodge often at night perfect for our bar awesome let it be Nightingale ready to stay up past your bedtime you still have school oh it's a holiday tomorrow right I'm ready not to sleep at all as long as my mom gets treatment your gy Rita taking such good care of your mom I have no one else on this planet but her I

love her more than life itself I'll do anything to make her healthy and happy lord said nothing just hugged the Young singer and patted her on the back Rita felt tears welling up but she brushed them away her makeup was already ready for the stage Rita felt like a real star the plan was for her to sing two or three songs to start with but the bar patrons didn't want to let go of the girl and even started requesting songs handing her bills the girl smiled and sang more and more Rita didn't get home until

around 3 in the morning she was terribly thirsty and tired how fortunate that tomorrow was a day off and she didn't have to go to school she could sleep in it was decided that Rita would work on Fridays and Saturdays to avoid problems at school she could work more during the holidays that night Rita dreamed of little Birds sitting right on her hand and making such tender sounds that it was impossible not to be touched she even felt like crying Rita was awakened by the phone it was her Mom calling my sunshine hi her voice

sounded cheerful hi Mommy how are you good the doctors and nurses here are wonderful and attentive my head hardly hurts anymore I'm so glad soon you'll be seeing Like an Eagle you better tell me how you're doing have you eaten mommy of course I've eaten I'm not a little kid I'll be fine I can take care of myself okay I'll call you when I get the chance bye for now bye Mommy love you I love you too Melena disconnected it had been over a week since Rita had been living alone Melena was already feeling much

better but her treatment course wasn't over yet Lord helped the girl and Alberto also asked if she needed any assistance another Friday had arrived Rita left her house and set off on foot usually Alberto would send someone to accompany her but that day he had urgent matters to attend to and apparently he got so wrapped up that he forgot about it walking was quite close and the street was well lit by street lights hey sweetie could you help called out a woman opening the door of her rather worn out car what happened Rita asked with

concern my phone fell right under the seat and I can't reach it oh I can help with that Rita leaned over the driver's seat trying to see where the phone was suddenly she felt a blow to her head and then Darkness she woke up in the car her hands tied and her mouth taped shut Rita didn't understand anything why would this elderly woman tie her up and drive her somewhere in the middle of the night they drove for quite a while the highway stretched out like a gray ribbon with only dark forests along the sides

occasionally the sounds of nocturnal Birds could be heard the full moon Shone in the sky as if watching over Rita and perhaps regretting that she had trusted a stranger so easily and was now heading in an unknown Direction her mouth felt dry fear began to creep up to her heart with its sticky cold hands what would happen to her mom how could she Escape where was this crazy woman taking her perhaps she mistook her for someone else question swirled in Rita's mind pushing each other but unfortunately there were no answers suddenly the car sharply turned

right they continued along a Forest Road for some time before stopping get out command handed the kidnapper opening the car door the girl obeyed it became even scarier she couldn't do anything to save herself from the forest surely there were predators lurking around move forward the voice sounded unnaturally muffled Rita walked for some time the only thought spinning in her head was how to escape from this mad woman she turned around in the Moonlight the woman's face looked terrifying like something out of a horror movie wrinkles covered it an ugly wart sat on her nose

and her eyes looked somewhat intoxicated they were the eyes of a cruel person a very cruel person forward and don't look back she directed the flashlight at a narrow path it became chilly Rita's thin shirt offered no protection from the night cold she was trembling she no longer understood if it was fear or cold it was dark only the moon peaked through the ancient trees something crackled underfoot from time to time it felt like a horror movie any moment now a monster would jump out of the bushes but the monster was behind her constantly pushing

Rita in the back with its firm fist stop ordered the woman Rita stopped and timidly turned around the kidnapper had a rope in her hands what did she want to do strangle her tie her to a tree only God knew thank heavens Rita never found out about the intentions of that lunatic there was a faint growl oh darn probably a coyote the woman looked around sharply the growling was getting closer Rita held her breath what could she do with her hands tied absolutely nothing she looked at the woman with a plea she slowly then faster

and faster began to move in the direction they came from and then she ran at full speed Rita realized that her days were numbered any moment now a beast or maybe more than one would attack her and that would be it Rita pressed herself against a tree nearby there was rustling low growling and coughing it was a human cough but what could a person be doing in this Wilderness at this late hour perhaps they were attacked by animals and now they were bleeding out with the very Beast that attacked them nearby Rita closed her eyes

they say you should face danger headon but she didn't want to do that it was too scary too heavy for a girl who hadn't even turned 16 yet suddenly the bushes parted and someone dashed straight towards her Rita mumbled through the gag who's there a hemail voice called out quiet Sam quiet M the poor girl could only utter through her mouth tightly sealed with tape a beam of light from a flashlight pierced the darkness and blinded her Rita shed her eyes again her hands tied behind her back no way to Shield herself holy Virgin Mary

what are you doing here kid the man asked the light danced in his eyes from the flashlight while the Moonlight fell on his greasy hair who taped your mouth shut poor thing he briskly tore off the tape it was excruciatingly painful for Rita but fortunately it lasted only a moment I I don't know I really don't know who brought me here it's some woman with a face straight out of a horror movie Rita couldn't hold back her sobs come darling let's go to the cabin the man said gently untying the ropes around the girl's wrists

of course there had to be a cabin it's not far from their some Dreadful sacrificial ritual Rita's thoughts raced but she had no choice anyway where to run in the night Forest into the jaws of coyotes or just wander the rest of her life in this Thicket it's better to go to the cabin the cabin wasn't scary at all it was quite cozy a friendly oil lamp burned on the wooden table just like in a fairy tail and in the corner stood a c with a neatly made bed everything here breathed peace and trans Tranquility

it smelled of honey and some spices I'll make you my signature Ural tea now the man said you sit down and rest what's your name Rita the girl rubbed her swollen wrists Rita Torres Rita Torres The Stranger repeated pouring water into the chubby teapot sounds beautiful and you're quite a beauty yourself those eyes her eyes who eyes Rita asked surprised oh no one it's just me memories not at me that girl Millie who disappeared from my life so suddenly Millie the girl echoed as if in a trance I had a hamster named Millie when I

was a kid mom laughed then said our hamster was named after her I even made such a funny sign on one side it said Millie and on the others Melena d the man suddenly dropped a package from his hands either with nuts or crackers Melena the girl I loved with all my heart was also named Melena such a melodious name what happened to her I'm sorry if it hurts to talk about it she just disappeared I don't know why we were dating talking about getting married and she just suddenly vanished changed her phone number and

you didn't even try to find her I tried but she never told me where she lived tried to trace her through registration but it didn't work out I literally tore my hair out I still remember her every night when the world plunges into silence do you live here in this Wilderness Rita took a sip of the tea it pleasantly burned her throat no this is a place of strength my strength I live here sometimes take vacations and live here as a recluse thinking about life about my failed love how sad Rita said softly my mom

has her own mess with love she never even saw our father in person mom outright refuses to talk about him but I know for sure she still can't forget him oh I need to make a call I didn't show up at work today you work you're just a young girl I sing in a bar we really needed the money for my mom's treatment Rita started rumaging in her backpack oops it's dead okay I'll call from home stay here for the night and in the morning I'll take you home the man suggested by the way my

name is Adon nice to meet you I guess I have no other choice lie down on the cot and sleep peacefully and you Rita looked up at the cabin's owner don't worry about me I have a mattress he nodded towards a distant corner where wooden shells occupied the entire wall strange Rita only felt so calm in childhood when she climbed into her mother's bed and they fell asleep together cuddled up to each other with this Adam too for some reason it felt safe and calm even though she had only known him for about half an

hour the St Bernard dog Sam settled down by the cot and fell asleep also fell asleep very quickly she dreamed that her mother was walking along the seashore and for some reason this strange recluse Adam was walking beside her they laughed and ate cookies from that same tin box that Rita used to store her savings and into which grateful listeners threw her coins on the riverbank Adam couldn't sleep he lay on his mattress and remembered the past remembered his unfulfilled happiness which seemed so close so real Melena burst into his life as suddenly as she

disappeared from it they met at the market he was working for his uncle then selling vegetables and she came for lettuce leaves I love lettuce she smiled So Fresh So genuine without a hint of affectation then I'll give you a whole bunch Adam smiled in response no no you'll be left without pay if you give away vegetables to customers you agreed to take a walk with me tonight the guy asked as if he didn't hear her so that's what it is and I thought it was a surge of the Soul it is a surge of

the Soul I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to oing girls so are you in to take a walk tonight the girl clarified yes exactly well why not take a walk especially since Anita asked me to come later today she's having a romantic evening with voleno she smiled mysteriously my name is melena and I'm Adam shall we meet by the wooden elephant in the old park I love that Park I'll be there around 7 does that work works his eyes sparkled the guy put a huge bunch of lettuce into a paper bag and handed it to

the girl usually people give flowers and I give lettuce thank you by the way I love lettuce more than any flowers that die in a vase on the window sill Melena smiled and went briskly about her business Adam lived with his uncle and Aunt their love was divided between their daughter and their nephew who lost his parents early Laura got married and moved to the neighboring Town visiting her relatives only occasionally they were happy to hear that Adam had met a girl but he didn't hurry to introduce Melena to them until he was sure that

their feelings were mutual Melena lived with a friend they rented some Shack and worked together in a cafeteria meeting Adam turned her whole life upside down she fell in love for the first time in her 19 years they strolled talked about everything and kissed deliberately wering into the part of the park where no one was around they felt so good together such happiness is only felt in childhood when you are surrounded by love and care they met at Adam's friend's place he he often left the city and kindly allowed the lovers to use his absence

they dreamed of a wedding in their own even tiny Place Adam was still finishing medical school then he was almost a therapist he came to the town only for vacations and the rest of the time he lived in the capital he planned to stay there until he met his Melena but one day she didn't show up for their date just didn't show up although they agreed and called each other literally half an hour before the meeting she was cheerful and said she missed him and couldn't wait to see him in response to his numerous calls

he heard only the subscriber is temporarily unavailable that's when he regretted not knowing her friend not knowing where exactly they lived he didn't even know her last name such foolishness in a person's life sometimes happens to love to the point of Madness but not to ask for a last name and an address Adam searched but Melena seemed to have vanished Into Thin Air maybe she found someone else maybe she did but he just left and now returned and she was ready to spend the rest of her life with him the guy suffered he lost weight

drastically his uncle and Aunt worried a lot about their nephew trying to calm him down then it was time to go back to school Adam threw himself into his university Affairs fiercely he decided that in spite of everyone he would be a good doctor and he wouldn't waste a minute of his life on nonsense like pretty girls with a Brisk gate Adam never met his soulmate the hole in his heart never healed at times it would start bleeding again that's when he would take time off and go to the woods it made things slightly easier

it had been over 15 years already Adam had turned into a hardened Bachelor it's tough living alone after all and Melina what happened to her how did her life turn out Adam had no answer to that question nor could he they had drifted apart like specks on a seashore but he never stopped thinking about that nymph who had captured his heart forever he couldn't be angry with her he simply loved her he himself didn't understand anymore whether he loved her or just the memories of those happy weeks only them from that summer Rita was woken

up by Sam who nudged her nose right into her cheek she opened her eyes the dog wagged its tail and licked her nose you're so sweet Sam the girl said and stroked him on his big furry head good morning Adam entered the cabin how did you sleep good morning Rita replied just like in childhood When Miss Rosa was still alive and we lived with her while mom took care of her and her place she left us her apartment in her will we still live there that's good I'm glad the forest takes away all our worries

Adam suppressed a sigh so shall we have some tea and then leave yes I'm ready now the wash basin is behind the cabin there's a toilet there too Adam stepped out of the cabin Sam followed how's your mom suddenly asked Adam as they were driving along the road you mentioned she needed treatment she started losing her vision suddenly the doctor said it can happen from extreme stress blood vessels narrow I don't understand much about it but something like that the treatment is expensive let me help you guys I'm a doctor too although I don't specialize

in eyes but thank you Rita looked at Adam gratefully she's already undergoing treatment that's why I sing in Alberto's bar it's called insight do you know it Insight isn't that the one with a little fountain with lights nearby yes that's the one that's where I sing on Fridays and Saturdays do you sing well people like it Rita replied evasively now I know where to go to enjoy the singing of a lovely Beauty Adam smiled and turned towards Rita's home Rita was about to leave when Adam handed her his business card just in case he said

shortly lur was standing by the entrance Rita Virgin Mary where have you been what's going on Alberto is going crazy he's ringing out every bit of soul from Bianca and her mother is threatening to kill herself the girl was literally shaking from excitement who is Bianca Rita hugged her waving goodbye to Adam at the same time let's go to your place we need to call Alberto before he kills her can you finally explain who Bianca is and why Alberto is going to kill her mother Rita couldn't take it anymore life resembled some kind of Thriller

Bianca used to work at the bar before Rita she sang Too of course her singing couldn't compare dorita's but Alberto kept her around for lack of better options the girl fell ill a few days before Alberto's meeting with Rita he almost immediately informed her that he no longer needed Bianca's services and paid her something like severance pay the girl's mother stormed in with a scandal when her daughter told her what had happened she threatened to set fire to the bar and kill whoever dared to take Bianca's Place Alberto considered these threats the ravings of a

hysterical woman and forgot about them as soon as she left his bar he only remembered them when Rita suddenly didn't show up for work Alberto immediately went to Bianca's house and her impulsive mother but the girl was home alone and had no idea where her mother was she never felt the need to tell her daughter where she was or with whom the bar owner waited for candida hiding behind the nearest bushes parked his car in the alley a few houses away from hers the woman returned around 5: in the morning clearly intoxicated Alberto jumped out

of hiding and began to threaten her with the police if she didn't tell him where Rita was naturally she claimed not to know anything about his new singer who was not fit to hold a candle to her daughter Alberto was ready to ring the truth out of this strange woman but she remained silent a silicone mask lay on the seat of her old sedan Alberto realized that this was definitely not a coincidence he continued to press candida and then simply pushed her into the car quickly got behind the wheel and headed straight to the police

at that moment the ant realized that the matter smelled of kerosene and only said that she had seen some girl matching Rita's description hitchhiking on the highway but Alberto didn't believe her and pulled out the stuned gun he always carried just in case life is full of surprises if you don't tell me anything it will hurt Alberto said aiming his device directly at her face hey what are you doing the woman widened her eyes and grabbed his hand either you show me where you're keeping Rita or I won't be responsible for what happens I really

don't know where yorita is Alberto pointed his Miracle device right at her face let's go but I'm not sure she's there she asked me to drive her to the forest candida babbled people said she had served a considerable sentence in her youth no one knew exactly what for but Alberto had heard such talk before it was already around 7:30 they were almost at that very turned onto the Forest Road when Alberto's phone rang lured yes Lully he answered without slowing down what are you sure is she okay Alberto sharply turned the wheel and headed back

if I see you or Bianca Nita you both will ride in jail the threat sounded serious the woman fell silent apparently spending the rest of her life in prison wasn't something she wanted she understood that Alberto had enough connections to make it happen Melena returned from the clinic by herself by train she came home without warning Rita almost dropped her plate of cereal mom Mommy why didn't you tell us you were coming back how did you get here by train she simply replied and I bought your favorite cookies mama I missed you so much Rita

hugged her mother and buried her face in her shoulder my girl Melena gently stroked her daughter's back I missed you very much too how are you Rita asked pulling away slightly from her mom fine the doctor said it will take some more time for my vision to fully recover did he say why this happened to you Melina was silent mom don't be silent it's something very serious isn't it will it happen again Rita began to cry she didn't have the strength to be strong anymore so much had happened lately that Rita was beginning to turn

into a 15-year-old who could only Roar while hugging her big pink bear on her bed it's an echo of the past Riri mom always called her daughter that when she was little what passed did you work in a chemical Factory did not understand the girl no Melina sank down on a chair and stretched out her tired legs I saw him recently at the supermarket a little over a month ago mom don't scare me what did you see Sasquatch or something your father what you said you didn't know where he was that he had a family

that's true I don't know where he is but he was definitely at the super market near our house have you talked to him no of course not but you know I did something something indecent or something what did you do did you kiss him in the supermarket Rita jumped Rita stop mocking me I took a picture of him he didn't notice me or what I did the girl stared at her mother she was silent unable to find the right words do you want to see your father Melena suddenly asked pulling out her cell phone uh

well I don't know show me Rita stared at The Faded screen of her mom's old smartphone oh come on no way Rita suddenly exclaimed and jumped to her feet she had been sitting across from her mom at the table before what what can't be do you two know each each other imagine yes we met just the other day he saved me from some crazy woman Rita how do you put it is that what I taught you daughter wait a minute what crazy woman Rita told her mother everything even about the bar somehow she felt it

was the right time the girl's heart was beating in her chest like a bird in a cage trying to get out at all costs mom he loved you he's loved you all his life Rita said with tears in her eyes and that woman and the baby I saw the three of them she said Theo say hello to Daddy Melena wiped away a few tears that rolled out of her big gray eyes I left right away I went to a neighboring town with my girlfriend to her aunt's house and later we moved here you changed your

number and went missing didn't you the girl asked looking her mom straight in the eye that's right I just had no other choice and to talk mom didn't you want to know everything what about finding out that he's married and happily married and I'm just a a girl for a while he doesn't have a family he's lived his whole life as a hobo you should have seen the pain in his eyes when he talked about that girl you know I felt so comfortable with him I kept wondering why why but who was that woman with
