By six-and-a-half, I got up to drink water.
When I got close to the kitchen, I heard their voices.
I stopped.
Michael was talking first.
You shouldn’t have brought me here.
Where did you want me to take you? Answered Daniel. After twenty-five years you appear in front of me and you tell me that everything I was told was a lie.
I held my breath.
Your mother.s. had her reasons.
“Don’t defend her.
I’m not defending her.
A break followed.
Then Daniel said something that made me goosebumps:
All my life I thought you were dead.
I unwittingly took a step.
The floor squeaked.
The voices have stopped.
Daniel appeared in the kitchen door.
When he saw me, he understood immediately.
– You heard it.
Who was supposed to be dead?
Michael slowly gets up from the table.
Daniel looks at him, then at me.
– My father’s brother.
