On our way back home to the Casita, Bruno took his hair to get the top part to dry. He didn't give back the hair tie but honestly he can keep all of hair ties. I can always get more that I will gladly let him keep. We pass by a long line that was leading to a cart that Julieta was standing next to. She had a lot of work cut out for her. I lightly pull on Bruno's poncho and tilt my head over to Julieta and he responds with a slight nod.
When we get close to her and I say, "Hola bonita!" (Hi, Pretty!)
"Hola! You hungry?" she responds, while picking up and Arepa and handing it to me.
"No, I'm good! Plus gotta keep that for everyone who's hurt." I say as I wave at her.
"You do have a point, I'll see you later!" she says as she hands the arepa to next person in line.
"Adios!" (Bye!)
I look back at Bruno and give him a smile. He gives me a small smile in return. We continue back to Casita.
When we get there, one of the other villagers were also just arriving.
"Just on time like I said." Giving him a giggle.
We walk through the front door and I give the other villager a smile.
"I have to get to work now, " Bruno says as he turns to me and I cut him off by saying, "Go do your thing I might stop by later, ok?"
"Ok." he says as I give him a small wave and walk back out the door. I walked back home and immediately called out, "Hola Mama!"
"Hola mi hija," (Hi my daughter), "That certainly took you a long time." she said while laughing.
"Desculpa mama, I went out with Bruno for a little bit." I say as I take off my shoes and walk over to the kitchen. "You're always going out with that boy, When are you two going to start dating?"
"MAMA!" I yelled out in lowercase. (A/N) I didn't know how else to explain it but I know you guys will get it 😅
I started to blush like crazy as I walked back out of the kitchen.
"I know you like him, spending so much time with him." My mom says as she follows me.
"Mama, please...." i try to get her to stop without telling her to stop. "Que? It' been years, you just need to tell him, hija"
"I will, eventually." I say as I walk around our large yard to feed our animals. I first started with the chickens, we had 3. Their names were Coco, Noodle, and Loretta. After I give them some food, I head on over to the pigs. We only had 2 pigs, 1 girl and 1 boy. Their names are Mariah and Wilbur. I'm not gonna lie I do have a favorite and its Wilbur. He always follows me around to wake up the other animals in the morning. Sometimes he does get distracted because he wants to look for snacks.
After I finish feeding them I went back inside. "Dinner is almost ready." My mom yelled out, "Gracias, Mama. I will set up the table." I quickly went into my room and changed my clothes. I went into the dining room and started to set up the table. As soon as I finished placing the plates, my mom finished making dinner. "Puedo ayudarte?" (Can I help you?)
Not waiting for an answer I pick up a pot and bring it over to the table. The pot was filled with Arroz atollado. (A/N) this is a typical rice and pork dish. If you don't eat pork you can imagine it's something else.
I placed the pot down off to the side of the table and started to serve my mom, then I served myself. We say a little prayer before we start eating. "Gracias por la comida, esta muy buena." (Thank you for the food, it's very good.) "You always like my food." my mom says in response.
"Yeah, it's because you have the best food in the village." I said then taking another bite of her food. "Yo se," (I know), "you always tell me to open a restaurant."
"Because you should! Everyone would love your food." I say completely serious. "I'm to old, who knows how many years I have left."
"Mama, don't say that." I say, saddened about the topic of her death. I always hated talking about it but I know it's bound to happen. "Todo estara bien," (Everything will be fine,) She says grabbing my hand, "I've shown you my recipes, plus I already showed you how to make everything."
"It just doesn't taste the same." I say giving her a smile. We finished eating dinner, and brought the dishes to the kitchen. It was started to get dark out and the candles in the windows started to come on. I always loved the night, just seeing all the candles. I would go out for a walk and just look up at the stars. It was always so beautiful.
Like she was reading my mom said, "Anda Hija." (Go, daughter)
"Estas segura?" (Are you sure?), I asked.
"Si," (Yes,) "Go for a walk, or see that boy." She says smiling to herself.
"Ay mama." I say as I grab my bag and slip on my shoes. I walk around the village just looking at all the candles that are being turned on. I just loved looking at all the flickering lights. I walked around the whole village just looking up at the stars. All that was left was to stop by the Casita. I started to head over when I saw the same villager from earlier leaving but this time she was wiping tears away. I stopped her and asked, "Estas bien?" (Are you ok?)
She immediately started to break down and cry. She ran off before I could say or do anything else. I walked inside and yelled out a Hi. I got several hi's from various places around the house, the only person I didn't hear was Bruno. So, I walked up the steps to the second floor and over to his door. I knocked on his door knowing that he wouldn't hear it if he was at the top. I always knocked because you never know.
I open Bruno's door and saw that a room filled with just sand and stairs. He was definitely at the top. "Bruno?" I called out and it echoed off the walls. There was no response, so it's time for the long walk up the stairs. Someone needs to invest in some other way to the top.
(A/N) Sorry for the long wait you guys but I am also writing two other books and another Bruno book in the works. It's also an x reader book where the (y/n) is from a family who also has an encanto. If you guys want more details about it I can put a small description about it at the end of the next part. Other than that, Happy reading!
