Last day in my office of this year

__________________

Today was very, very important for the team and the drivers. After all, a clockwork year is coming to an end. A year where the teams compete, a year where Charles can become world champion for the first time in his life. I haven't asked for anything else in recent times, just for this dream to come true. Charles and I were walking through the Paddock holding hands when Dad came up to me.

-Rose, it would be nice to talk now, --said father and he looked a little nervous

-Sure,-- he says, I said and shook Charles's hand.

-It would be better to talk together, --my dad said and looked at my boyfriend

-Let's go to the office, --I suggested, looking at Charles

-I'll find Pierre in the meantime. I wanted to talk to him about something else

-Go ahead, meet me in your room in half an hour

-Okay honey,--the boy said and planted a kiss on my cheek. Dad and I set off towards Ferrari's huge building.

-It's good to see happy with him,-- Dad said, trying to force a faint smile onto his face

-Thanks. Charles carries me in his palm. Please don't ruin your chances for today's competition

-We strive for the best. We always try to give him the best. And you know this too...

-Well. True. I'm just worried about him.

Meanwhile, we arrived at the company building. Mattia was standing next to dad and his hands were moving nervously.

-What's wrong with everyone today? , --I asked and sat down on the chair.

-Rose. It's about your mother, --Dad finally said

What???, --I'm completely frozen. My happiness this morning suddenly flew away like birds in the sky when they hear some loud noise.

-Her illness worsened. The doctors recommended an operation as soon as possible and she is now in the hospital, --father said, looking at Mattia

-Rose, for this reason you must take her place. You need to be the PR manager in the future. , --Mattia said. And I was completely frozen.

-I don't have the money or the problem of me taking on some role at the company. I'm an independent person, don't you remember?

-But Rose, we remember

-Why didn't you tell me sooner that mom was in the hospital?

-I couldn't do it. You were so happy with Charles. I didn't mean to spoil your mood.

-Well, it was even better that way. Besides, even my heart was torn out of place,-- I said and got up from my chair nervously.--
Now, if you don't mind, I'll find my boyfriend. At least he's always honest with me,-- I said and slammed the door

Tears started streaming down my face and I could only hope that no photographer would take a picture or no reporter would run after me. I just wanted to escape from the burden that everyone was throwing on my neck. I didn't want to work here. I didn't want to chain myself to my father forever. I wanted to become independent and not feel this crappy feeling of not being able to be happy. Wiping away my tears, I could hardly see anymore and just bumped into Danny. I went to the boy's chest and his hands started to squeeze my hand very tightly

-Rose, why are you crying so much?-- Danny Ric asked worriedly

-Daniel..... just call Charles here now. ,-- I told the boy and started hugging him tightly

-Calm down girl. I will arrange...

The boy did so and within seconds I felt Charles's touch on me.

-What happened Rose?, --the boy asked and smoothed my hair from my face

-Do not let me go. Please don't let me go!

-Rose you are killing us, --Danny Ric said and looked at Charles worriedly

-Mom is the problem. Taken to hospital. She will  die, --I screamed in pain. And the boys didn't say a word. Charles hugged me and let me bury my teary face in his t-shirt. He grabbed my back and my head. They stood there quietly, without speaking, and shocked by what they had just heard, they only looked at me

- She will be fine, --Daniel said

-That's right Rose, calm down, --repeated Charles

-I can't do it. Unable Charles...I'm sorry. It doesn't work. , --I looked at Charles in despair with teary eyes.

-I don't want you to have to go through what I had to go through several times. I don't want to, but if fate wants it, you can't do anything about it,-- He said and let the me to express all  pain. Daniel and  Charkes comforted the me  for almost half an hour.

However, I was forced to let go of my partner so that he could prepare for that particular competition that was already making me so nervous. I went back to the office and sat down at the desk. No one was there, neither father nor Mattia. I ran my hand all over the red table. Then I pulled out the first drawer and saw a paper.

Dear Mr. Ferrari!

Your wife's condition is beyond saving. I would recommend a treatment that might save your condition, but there is not much chance. These symptoms of the disease, i.e. cancer, will intensify, which is why I recommended staying in the hospital. Our doctors will do everything in their power to ensure that your wife is in the best hands, but unfortunately there is not much chance.
If what everyone is afraid of happens, we will notify you in time. It will be possible to say goodbye, and if it is the turn of machines to keep the lady alive, we will let you know again. Good luck to you and your daughter!

...

I read it saddened and started to cry. My tears fell on the paper and I put my hand over my mouth so that no one would hear me cry. Maybe I don't even know how long I could cry when dad entered the room. He immediately saw the paper and looked at me. I saw the pain in his eyes...

-How long have you known this?,-- I asked, but of course there was no answer...

-It's been a long time Rose, it's been a long time...
