I decide to take the letter and keep it hidden for the time being, and then open it the next day together with Professor Heidi and Alex, so they can help me, Professor Heidi with the translation and Alex with the tracing.
Uncle's words made me think a little, after all, I had never looked for him so hard since I entered Mum's room for the first time.
To be honest, I had never looked for my mother either, probably because until a few days ago I thought I was Polish and that the people who raised me were my family, but in the end they weren't... maybe it's just the desire to know what it's like that makes me do all this.
But I don't know why I want to get to the bottom of this secret that everyone but Alex is willing to keep from me to the grave.
《MORE! MONSTER!》
I hear after a few minutes, in which the house before was in total silence, a gunshot and then a voice screaming most likely in the living room from how far away and muffled it is compared to me. I thought it was the calm after the storm, instead it is the storm after the calm....
Immediately, I rush out of the room door, close it in the quickest and most effective way I know how.
I hide the key in my pocket and start running down the stairs, at the landing I also find Aunt Benedetta and the boys, Antonio and Marco, they too have a questioning look on their faces, while they remain at the beginning of the stairs, I run down without hesitation and the scene is not the best.
There's Aunt Teresa in tears on the ground holding her arm, she looks injured... I hope what I fear hasn't happened...
《Benedetta! Don't bring the children down for any reason, understand! 》
Grandfather who meanwhile had gotten up from the armchair and approached her aunt orders her.
《All right... Linda, come up, come on! 》
Aunt Benedetta asked, but I didn't want to stay up with them, I wanted to stay here with everyone and find out what the heck had happened.
《Uncle! Alex! What happened!》
I shout, it's the only way for everyone to hear me.
《Linda, see I told you they weren't good people. Look what they did to your Aunt Teresa! They're monsters! 》
《They may be monsters, but something must have spurred him to shoot her, so. What happened!》
I repeat, because I don't want to be in the dark anymore, I want to know.
《No answer?》
Total silence.
《Then screw you all! 》
I shout in his face, running out the front door, immediately I hear someone chasing after me, I don't care who it is and don't even have the slightest idea to stop.
《Linda!》
That's Alex's voice, I turn around and there he is running after me trying to catch me and stop me.
《What is it, you'll take me back to the mutes! 》
《No, I won't! I'll tell you the whole truth! 》
You'll tell me the whole truth! But the whole truth!
《Now stop it! 》
I hate obeying, but this time it's for the sake of both me and Alex.
I stop and immediately feel Alex rest a hand on my shoulder and look at me pointing at a bench just ahead.
《Let's sit there, it's a dead hour here in the square, so no one but the wind will hear us.》
《All right...》
After we sit down, Alex remains silent for a while, I think he's trying to think of what he needs to tell me.
《So...should I start from the total beginning or the part that you can personally relate to? 》
《If you only like the most personal part.》
《All right... then let's begin...》
He said and with that said he takes a big breath.
