Josiah Marquez Part 4
I had a month and two weeks to think about everything, and my apology to Ana would also be for having been unjust in my accusation. No one believed she had done anything to Ber—neither Leda, nor my friends, nor my mother... Perhaps only Lu, who always fed that uncertainty in my mind. She was the one who told me never to question Ana about what she had said because she loved my Docinho so much that she would suffer from the remorse that would eat away at my daughter's mother.
Even with the information Luana had given me, I mulled over all those things and realized that I hadn’t seen Ana do anything, so how could I condemn her based on my uncertainty? Why condemn my wife and absolve Lu, who was also at the scene of the crime?
No one saw what happened to Ber, and I couldn’t accuse my cousin because I hadn’t seen either. I didn’t witness the assault on my friend that led to his death. I decided I wouldn’t accuse anyone else. I had been hasty... I realized my injustice every day over the past month, planning how to beg Ana for forgiveness for that, but then Bernardo died.
When the time was right, I would talk to her, and I would humble myself if necessary... Whatever it took for Ana to forgive me, I would do it. And if she decided she no longer wanted me, I would have no choice but to accept it. I would do whatever the woman I loved wanted and strive not to lose her. But if the mother of my daughter said that the path for us was truly to end, I would let her move on definitively.
I was hoping that, when I was well enough to talk to her, Ana would still be open to me, because I would throw myself into her arms and never let go.
