A dark night covered the sky, but there were no stars in the sky, so to make this gloomy environment a little more pleasant for my darling, I decided to put the moon as close and bright as possible, in this way at least he will have the certainty I am here with him. In fact, he is not alone at all, because practically everyone who was here that night in the past is here today too. So his whole family is here together having a good time talking and celebrating among themselves. But although I would love to accompany you to such a splendid celebration, right now I was busy carrying out the task that my love asked of me. While Maria busied herself with finding something inside the great hall, I resolved to try to talk to everyone possible and check the surroundings of the castle. Right there where I was in a part of the gardens near a vehicle like those used by humans now on earth, although it looked much more primitive than those I had seen before, it also seemed to be some kind of a mobile medical unit, since Uncle Jose was in it, receiving treatment for the wounds he received from a glass window that he broke when he got scared when he saw my Honey walking in the castle. Next to him was the grandmother, talking to her son, scolding him for looking scared and acting like a child despite his age. At the same time that she treated his wounds because he did not let the paramedics make him, because the grandmother said that she did not trust them, that they looked too greedy to be doctors. And just when she said that she spilled what looked like a glass with what seemed to be alcohol, because when it fell on Jose's wound, this cry of pain. Then her mother reproached him for complaining like a child about a little pain, despite being the one responsible for it.

I was waiting for them to finish so I could talk to the head of the family, who is the grandmother according to all the other relatives. According to them, she is the one who directs or advises others on what to do, whether it is to build a house somewhere or to give the go-ahead to host an expensive party like this in another country. Despite her age, she has skill with her hands when treating Jose, that I can distinguish just by looking at her, she must have done crafts very often, in addition to seeing her knowledge of first aid, she is someone or very wise, or who has treated many wounds similar over time. When she finished she washed her hands, dried herself with a towel, and immediately walked over to me. Which surprised me as I thought she hadn't noticed me before.

"Shouldn't you be with your husband?"
"What are you doing out here away from the party?"
"Do you want to talk to me so much?"
"But unfortunately my mind is not what it was, so I forgot the way back home" she said with a smile on his face as he picked up some palm leaf and began to tie it all over the place

"But how ..."
"Sorry, I was just thinking of talking and introducing myself to the whole family"
"So talking to you is important after all"

"I'm not as important to how people want to make me look"
"I only dedicate myself to speaking and giving advice to others"
"In any case, the important would be my daughter"
"As I understand it, she has a fairly important position in all that political mess"
"But I don't know much about it"
"I only ask God to please save her from people who could hurt her just for her work"
"Do you know if he is taking care of it?"
"After all, you should know him, right?"
"But what am I saying, forgive me I didn't want to bother"
"It's just that my mind is no longer what it was"
"Do not let me wander too much"

"I swear I will do my best to keep your family safe" I responded quickly to calm her down
"I give you my word"

"I know you are doing it"
"After all, you're doing your best to shine as bright as possible tonight, right?"
"You want even my grandson to feel safe on this strange night"
