Across environments
“You have lead another event.”
“huh?!”
“Mi Hijo"
Wait, I know that voice, I know that voice anyway.
“Mother?” I said under my breadth but I looked around first observing the place.
All I could see was blank, what I could see had no meaning till I opened my eyes .
There were trees tall as can be.
I couldn’t see much but I could see the light so bright I could only see the trees close to me.
It was like an explosion what’s happening behind me and we're in the midst of it.
“I see you are awake, when did you stop calling me Mama?” the woman who sat at my side said in a white robe and brown hair.
This was not just any woman, this was the one I had missed, this was the woman I had yearned to speak to for a while, I know this here and this face was so familiar that tears began to fall from my eyes, I was in shock but then I was happy in my shock, if this was a dream I didn’t want to wake up but I had to confirm first then I called out to her again.
“Mama?” I said as tears fell and she then replied.
“Exactly. That is what I remember my Nino calling me.” She replied as her face brightened up with a smile.
I know that face, I know that smile, I know this person. No fuck it this is my mother, she may look younger here but this is my mother, I remember so well. If I would forget anything in this world I will never forget her.
“NiŇO why are you crying, come on, its okay.” She said rushing to me as tears dropped.
“You don’t understand, you don’t understand, it has been hell, nothing good has been happening ever since you left, my world fell down crashing to the ground, I did things I was not even proud of, things that if you were there I would never have attempted…. mama it's my fault.” I said as I hugged crying as I hugged her and she pat my head.
“Its okay Mi Nino, I don’t have anything against you, it was never you.” She said as she stroked the hair on my head back and forth.
“mama you don’t understand, nothing will happen to you if I never agreed, you would have gotten better, Mama had it mean I knew, I would have not done it, I am sorry.” I said as I held her tightly crying.
“Its okay Mi Nino, I am not upset, I have been seeing your steps, I guess you’ve been working your own steps too.” She said as she stroked my head and I calmed down.
“Mama don’t say it like that, I have not been having fun, I have been hurt, I have been broken, the path in which I’m walking myself is not the path I wanted to walk, the path in which I walk is the path in which I saw myself in, I knew who I wanted to be but now I don’t know anymore, and maybe you saw how everything happened with my father but I guess I have lost.” I said as she pat my head sitting in front of her in the middle.
“If you don’t see path then make one.” She said as she picked some dirt in my hair.
“Hmm.” I replied her as I then said
“Trust me Mama it’s over, there is nothing new which I can do that is going to make sense now because I am dead so everything is over” I said.
“Ohh it’s not but know this if you want to correct what is around you you must know the meaning of cruelty and ruthlessness, you must know the meaning of dislike and hate, you must know the meaning it's in love and lust, You must understand that you cannot choose to be one without being the other, if you truly want to correct everything then you must at least take over.” She was saying.
As she spoke this was my eyes closed trying to digest everything, she said but even though I tried to open them as a voice was fading the minute, I opened them I found myself somewhere else that wasn’t there, I found myself in a room.
“hhhhgggghhhhh.” I sprang up catching my breath and looking around.
“Where am I?” I said panting and looking around.
I was on a bed, in an old room so old it looked deserted and had weed growing on the ground right next to my bed and some on the wall too.
“Where the fuck am I?” I asked but there was no one around and my voice itself was barely audible.
I stood up and at first glance the first thing I could clearly see was I have been treated, there were pins and syringes close to the bed and they all had been used. There was a small table at the side of the room close to the passage in the room. That was where the door was supposed to be but there was no door here.
I walked out and then indeed liker I had guessed. This house has been abandoned for sure, I was sure, there were weeds in the highway but they all still didn’t look wild, they looked trimmed, there was a passage in the middle of the wed beds and that was where I was walking on.
I was barefooted with nothing but my trousers, I walked down to the end of the room and then I got to the end stepping into a big space, it was like a parlor but, huge and also there were rooms upstairs.
“where am I ?” I asked as I wondered up the stairs.
This was a mansion for sure but for fucks sake how the fuck did I get here.
“Huh.” I exclaimed after opening one of the rooms and it was well arranged, no weeds and th0ough the walls were faded, it was still better than the other rooms, there was abed and this was not just any bed but a 6 by 6.
“I guess someone lives here.” I said going in and taking a proper look.
There was a wardrobe and some supplies with a chair and small tables, at the back of the door there were two flip flops. I had been walking barefooted since I got here and I remember jumping into the water with shoes so till we solve the case of who took my shoes I will be taking the flipflops of who ever this person is at this point.
After that I walked down and noticed other rooms, $ more rooms to be exact, properly arranged again and had some stuff in them.
“Where exactly is this place, I mean n9ow I am certain that people live here so that means people will be coming home soon.” I said to myself as I walked downstairs to go outside.
“Oh.” I said at the scenery of the place, there were trees and grass and there was a fountain in the middle and though it was covered in weed, it was still kind of beautiful but nothing is fucking trimmed!!!!!!
For fucks sake even the passage to walk on is literally slim. There were tress everywhere and though it was beautiful, you can’t even see the stems because it is covered in freaking weeds. It was like a freaking jungle.
I took my time walking around and examining the place and it was pretty big, the house had a secrete space underneath but it was blocked and was filled with water so I couldn’t go there, later on I navigated my way back to my room and as I entered, I heard people talking outside.
“Finally.” I said as I was about to step out of the room, I just entered but then I thought.
What if these people actually rescued me for some other reason, I mean my shoe is actually missing… Holy shit and my phone?
So, I decided to stay in the room but then the confliction came upon me.
Should I lye down and pretend or should I just sit on the bed and pretend like I just woke up?
I decided to sit down and wait maybe they will come here because pretending to be asleep may be lethal, what If I get stabbed by one of them, what if they were dangerous from the get-go, what if this is a kidnapping I thought as I anxiously waited for them.
Finally, I could hear footsteps and that elevated my fear but I was still able to comport my self and then after the nerve-racking anxiety they finally stepped in.
“Oh, He is awake.” The first one said.
He was shorter than me but he was fit, he was on a tank top and the other one was a little taller than the first but he was skinny.
“Oh, Hi, I am Raul.” The second one said, stepping forward to give me a hand shake and I also didn’t disappoint. I stood up and then I walked forward for a shake.
“Damn bro you are intimidating as fuck, what kind of sleeper build you got.” The first one said as I shook Raul.
“Right bro, for fuck sakes he was literally not awake for 2 weeks so I wonder how he is sill beefed.” He said as they both laughed but I wasn’t having it, I was still skeptical.
“Okay, so let me enlighten you, you are safe, we found you by the river when we went to fish and then we rescued you, you are in an abandoned house in the south of Mexico City.” Raul was explaining when the other guy said.
“Xochimilco, somewhere close to xochimilco.” He chipped in and then Raul continued.
“Yeah, so we live here and by we I mean, I, Mamba and Ferrara, trust me she is not worth it, she can eb really mean because she is full of herself and that can be so annoying., plus she is a nurse and she was the one who treated you and all, so yeah, she will be around soon.” He said as I nodded.
I lived in Morelos and that is at least a 3hours journey... well, I guess this is me now.
“Come, lets go outside, let me show you around. “Raul said as he guided me with his hand at my back as we walked outside.
