Tamara arrived home after an intense day of recording. She found the children in the living room with the babysitter and went upstairs.
-Love? -She went to the bathroom - Irene?
She thought maybe she was in the kitchen, so she decided to take a shower first and then go downstairs. As soon as she finished dressing she went to the kitchen and couldn't find her. She returned to the living room and asked the babysitter:
-Marta, where is Irene?
-She hasn't come home from work yet.
-That's weird. Did she tell you she was going to be late?
-Not.
-All good. I will call her.
Tamara called several times and the cell phone was off. Then she started to worry. She decided to help put the children to bed while she waited for news and if nothing happened, she would call Irene's friends.
-Ruth, are we going to bed?
-No, mom. - Said Ruth - Let me finish this chapter.
-A lot is missing?
-About three pages.
-OKAY. Meanwhile, I'm going to put your brothers to bed. - She kissed her on the cheek - My nerdy baby.
-Stop, Mom!
-Noah and Alex, are we going to bed?
-Yes mom. - Said Noah - Can you tell us a story?
-Yeah right. - She took Noah in his arms and hugged Alex - And you, what did you do today?
-I learned to play another song. But, it cannot be said, it is a surprise.
-Mmm. Mom loves your surprises.
-Mom, can I hear the story too? - Lyvia asked.
-You can, darling. - She picked it up - Then mom takes you to your room.
Tamara put the children to bed and told the story under the watchful ears of Noah, who loved making up stories. Soon Alex and Lyvia were asleep and he kept asking trivia about the story.
-Mom talks more tomorrow, Noah. Your brothers are already asleep and I still need to put Ruth to bed.
-Okay mom. Good night.
-Good night. She kissed her forehead and Alex's, she took Lyvia on her lap and left.
When she got to the room, Ruth was already in bed. She put Lyvia on the bed and went to talk to Ruth.
-And there, daughter. Are you enjoying the book?
-I am, Mom. But, I still want to read the other one you promised me.
-When you finish this, tell me I buy it. I told you I only think you will become a book eater if you can finish this one.
- There are only three chapters left, Mom. It is almost proven.
-It's good. Mom buys it tomorrow. I am glad that you liked the book that Mom pointed out.
-Not being poetry, I read.
-I understand you. But don't tell Mama Irene. - Tamara laughed.
-I don't count, mom.
-Agree. - She kissed her on the forehead - Good night.
-Good night mom.
Tamara returned to the living room.
-Marta, you can go to sleep. The children are all in bed.
-You do not need anything else?
-Not. Thanks.
-You're welcome. Good night.
-Good night.
Tamara sat down and turned on the television, but she wasn't watching anything. She thought of Irene and decided to call one of her friends from her cast.
-Hello everything okay? Sorry about the time, but I need to talk to Irene and her cell phone is off. Oh, I understand. Excuse me. I'll try then, thanks.
Her friend said that Irene had gone out a co-star Tamara didn't know. She sent the number to Tamara, but she didn't have the courage to call.
She then she waited for Irene to arrive and ended up sleeping on the couch. When Irene arrived, she found the television on.
-Love - he tried to wake up Tamara - Let's go to bed.
-What? - Tamara woke up scared and looked at Irene - Ah, finally. Where were you? What time is it?
-Tam, let's go to bed. This is not the time for questioning.
-You mean it's too late then. - She took out her cell phone and looked at the time - It's three in the morning. Is this hours for you to arrive?
-Ah, I'm tired. Good night. I go to sleep. - Irene said and went up to the room.
-Irene, comes back here. - Tamara came up the stairs behind her.
Irene came to the bedroom and began to undress to take a shower.
-Can you answer me? - Said Tamara.
-I won't talk to you so nervous. It's better for us.
-How do you want me not to get nervous if you disappear and don't give any news?
-Not such a big deal, Tamara. I have not disappeared, I am here.
-I called your cell phone and it was off. What do you want me to think about?
-Ah, look, that's enough. I'm going to take a shower. - Irene went to the bathroom and closed the door.
-Irene?
Tamara threw herself on the bed angrily. As soon as Irene came out of the bathroom, she saw that Tamara was looking at her with an unfriendly face.
-Will you continue with that face until when?
-Until you explain everything to me.
-OKAY. What do you want to know?
-Where were you? With who? Why did it take so long?
-How horrible is this. You know I hate being controlled and this kind of questionnaire is very toxic, don't you think?
-Irene, you are married and have four children. You should at least say you're alive, don't you think?
-Okay, I could have warned the children. But my phone ran out of battery.
-And you couldn't ask anyone to warn you?
-I didn't think it was necessary.
-Probably because there you found something more interesting and didn't even remember that had children.
-I never forgot the children!
-But your wife's, yes. It's not?
-I did not say that.
-But you meant.
-I did not want.
-If you are not going to answer me, our conversation ends here.
-I won't tell you anything in this state. Let's talk tomorrow.
-Maybe it's late. - Tamara turned her back on Irene - Good evening.
-Good night. - Irene turned her back on Tamara.
