The Little Cherry
Diana Frois
It was a rainy day in Castille. The third daughter of one of the most widely recognized families in Spain had died of an unknown illness, leaving his family immersed in deep sorrow, and a little girl without her mother. Little by little the people leaves from the grave, suddenly there are only three women, a man and a girl. That girl was me, Diana. I can't understand why, if my father had sworn me to save my mother Anastasia. Despite having six years at the time, and understand about death, because my father was a doctor. I looked sad and angry at once, how my aunts fought with my father about the death of my mother.
"Roberto, this is your fault, you promised to save her!" Listen how my aunt Angelina sentences, pointing with her thin fingers to my father, who just stood at the foot of the tomb, weeping uncontrollably. I see how Isabel, one of the younger sisters of my mother, comes to him, stroking his broad back so comforting.
"Do not blame" She said in a calm and warm maneer. Even I could feel the peace that emanated from her words "Not everything in this world is possible, and that's what you must understand more than anyone. You are a doctor, you have the ability to save lives, but sometimes the call of God is stronger than our own desires to retain people" She took a breath and slowly approached me, raising a little bit her beautiful black lace dress. She kneels to get my little height and hugs me "Hush little. Your mother will guard you from heaven"
She pointed upward. I looked a little curious where it was pointing, I made a gesture of disappointment and looked at my aunt "My mom isn't there" I said containing some tears. I hated that look me crying. Suddenly I hear my father gets up from the foot of the grave, I instantly turning toward him. I noticed that his blue eyes, so like mine, were a bit red from crying.
"Let's go home" he said a bit drying, his voice thick with something broken. He walked, with that walk so elegant that characterized him, grabbing me from the waist up and took me loading up to the house in which we live. My aunt stayed there for a while, but only listened to Angelina and Anna whispering while my aunt Elizabeth was watching them.
I was tired. My eyes and head hurt so much because I cry so much, but I was resigned to go forward my mother. What came was going to be tough, but I could cope a bit. My father had called a woman of color to be my carrier, something like a "substitution" for my mother.
The following days passed quietly, two days after, my father came to travel throughout Spain, working as a doctor. In a bright morning sitting on my swing, reading a book my mother read to me every night before bed. I closed it after to see the difficulty in the words, and then could not read very well, I looked at the sky for a while and sighed.
"You want to read for you, Diana?" I heard my aunt Isabel from behind the swing, taking the book from my hands gently.
"No, I don't want it. Thanks, but I want my dad read me the book" I said a little reluctantly, down of the swing, arranging my pigtails and shaking my dress.
"Okay, I will not fool" She smiled quietly and walked slowly toward the interior of the house. I went after her, to see where she went. My other two aunts were sitting in the living room, drinking tea and talking ... of course, things about my father. I do not know because I cursed so he had done nothing wrong ... Or is it?
"That man must go! It was just a bird of ill omen in this house" Angelina said to my other aunt, shaking her little silver spoon beating the tea in her cup "Has brought misfortune to the family"
My Aunt Anna looked attentive and somewhat dubious to the judgments of her sister "Please Angelina. Do not deceive me, you know why you are angry and bitter that he has been married to Anastasia" She's interrupted by the sound of a breaking cup indeed was right, and print, my aunt Angelina dropped her tea, soiled her dress and part of the carpet "See? You're angry, because Anastasia was the one who bore him a daughter to this man, and not you".
I hear the creaking of the door, it was Aunt Isabel who came. Smiling, while sitting in a chair in the living room looked somewhat incredulous Angelina "It's true the things Anna said. From the first day that Roberto Frois trod this house, you will go wild"
I could not believe what I heard. My aunt was jealous by all this time of my mother? Well, although I did not understand much about love, at that time I knew how badly envy is. Very badly.
That I heard ten years ago. Now, when I was a girl, in my nana Herminia says that I'm "bold and glowing" I think it's because I spend my time in the stables to mount the horses, without success. I live in with my clothes be full of land all day helping the servants, not because I ordered, I loved my home doing things, of course, always get scolding from my aunt Angelina for that.
I was in the living room reading the old book of stories, was still well preserved, although it lacked the first page. Sure it was nothing major, well that I remember. I heard someone's footsteps coming down the stairs, and looked furtively through my curly blonde hair.
"Diana! Reading that book again?" With My Aunt Angelina replicate, to remove the book "I told you to leave childhood behind, please. You're a lady, behave like one" She looked somewhat accusingly, as if he were sinning.
"I can't do anything wrong. Also, this book is mine, and have no right to take it off" I told replicate and seeing their eyes, while I got up to snatch the book from her hands. She laughed, making me fall sitting chair by the force with which I was pulling the book.
"Do what you want" She was angry, almost stepping on her green dress lace. I sat in the armchair to read in peace. I don't know, but I had a strange feeling. Something strange was going to happen... Something strange.
It was night, and didn't know if my father was to fulfill what he said in his letter to arrive the evening before my birthday. Did not really matter if could not be occupied, it was okay. After all, medicine was his greatest passion, and I felt like a small nuisance at times, mostly because something told me it was just there to ensure he was okay. Well, after all, everything ends up being my madness.
After dinner I went upstairs to my bedroom. I rolled the little curtains and sat a bit, dressed with my nightgown; that was lifting the breeze blowing that night. Everything was quiet at that hour, but there is a sound that catches my attention: A carriage. I saw it approached until the house, and left my room hastily down the stairs being careful not to drop and roll in them. Indeed, the tall, muscular silhouette of my father looked out the door. Entered first few servants with little luggage, and then entered it. As elegant as always, with a suit red wine, well groomed, and eyeglasses, that although he would always have jobs, still looked young. Why the years pass and he does not change? Hopefully I can be just as he, and even to slightly increase my height, I simply am 1, 63 m, while he exceeds 2 m.
"Good night, dear" His voice was serious and noble made me wake up a bit "You see? After all, I keep my words" He said smiling, while he settled a little short and golden hair, who was tousled by the breeze.
"Yes dad. Thanks for coming" I went over and hugged him tightly. Whenever I needed hug from time to time "So, how was your job?"
He was about to answer, but could not utter a word, because my aunt Angelina down the stairs, scowling. "I had gone to sleep somewhere else, before you wake up all Castile with this carriage" she said curtly.
"Relax, Angelina" my father's warm expression changed to serious and unfriendly "Soon I will have to leave Spain".
"Exit from Spain!" I let go and took two steps back a little frightened "Remember that outside things are not very well..." I felt his hand caressing my head and ruffled "Relax. Although the East is that I go, I leave ... Well apparently. Finally, is to go help an old friend".
"A friend?" I heard my aunt was so ... Alarmed "What do you have friends in the East? So your friend is more important than your daughter" She said while is making a gesture with her hands.
"That's not ... Anyway, I will not explain to you, Angelina. Diana, I will begin tomorrow in the morning. If it were me I would, I take you with me... but it's very dangerous" I looked into his eyes "I don't want anything bad to happen to you. You keep your aunts..."
"How long will be in East, Dad?" I interrupted him while he was pleading. I'm anxious to get out of the house, which rather made me feel like a prison.
He lowers his gaze, as if he's lying "Maybe in a month I'm back"
"Don't lie"
"I'm not lying" says annoyed, while his gaze upward at the ceiling.
"Then, why you don't look me in the eyes?"
"I know you got that weepy puppy face, I know you want to go. And I do not see why then convince me".
I sighed and sat, arms crossed and pouting "Okay Dad. That means that tomorrow will not be on my birthday right?"
He shook his head up and down as a sign of affirmation. For the first time I felt that my aunt was right, sometimes not worry, and just appears to simply be responsible. But that don't matter me, I already had a plan.
"Okay. I think I will celebrate alone with my cat" I said so to make him feel a little bad. I didn't like it, but at least I thought that that could change his mind. I got up and headed for the stairs "Good evening" I started to upload them to reach the rooms, and back to my room to sleep. There I met my carrier, seeing where I was.
"Miss Diana. Already went to meet his father?" She asked in that voice so sweet and wise that characterized her. She was in pajamas, so she was in the same way.
"Yes, but tomorrow is going" I said something mad, while jumping on my bed face down and put my face into the pillow "He goes to the East tomorrow morning and will not be for my birthday".
"That's really? How strange..." She said wonderingly.
"Yes, strange!" Exclaimed sarcastically "What will be of interest beyond East?" I turned around and covered myself with my silky sheets.
"I do not know, my child. But it is too strange the reason how Don Roberto don't stay for your birthday. That is, is the most important are your fifteen years. Also, tomorrow in the night, you will be presented in the society"
"Ha! Cancel the dance. Society does not interest me" So spoiled I said "I'll go after him".
"Are you crazy girl? How can you go to the East, out of sight of your father, by your own?" She sits at a corner of the bed to not steal space is not dangerous.
"Relax, I will solve everything. I just need you to do me a favor" I got up and sat beside her, pleading "I want to make me a dress, yes. But not just any dress. A dress not too recharged, in case I need to run. I want it black whit a white lace, with red ribbons. I'll handle the rest".
"It's ... Okay," replied some dubious "But be careful girl, is dangerous".
"Relax" I winked and smiled "We were so, then?"
"Yes" She got up and walked quickly out of my room. I covered myself with the sheets and prepared to sleep.
It's the next morning. I wake up too late, when I go down, my father had gone to East already ... What the hell happen? Was the situation so important to have to go? But that did not interest me. I need to go to the East after him, no matter what.
I looked through the window if he'd sign. Hours have passed after his leaving. I went to meet my carrier who was sewing something. Indeed, it was what I had asked. I walked over and kissed her forehead. I looked at the dress, a short black dress, strapless and sleeveless. It was open to the sides, and had lace at the front.
"It's ... Perfect!" I cried very happy "Have you ready?"
"Actually it's already" My carrier spread the dress out for her, I laughed, "My aunt looks at me with this and faints. Nana is perfect, thank you very much. I already prepared everything, I'll wait to my aunts go for a ride on the horses."
"Good luck girl" She make the sign of the cross "God protect you" Despite being of another color different from mine, and another country, my carrier believed much in God.
"Amen" I said and then smiled. I turned around and went back to my room to grab the few things I had packed. Upon leaving I heard my aunts talking in the main room. They were little things, so I stayed hidden there until they left. It was time, I went down and went in hiding, had a horse out that I had sent my mother. I got into it and went straight to the dock.
