The mistery of Haruna's Star - 40 first chapters

8 - Consuelo

I don't understand how Diana is so calm with a girl who appeared so suddenly and ages so quickly. She told me she didn't want to name her yet. "I don't want to get too attached to the girl. At any moment her parents or some secret agent could appear, just like in the movies, and it would all be over".

Harun is fine; I told him to come and visit us but Diana got annoyed by that. They haven't spoken in months.

"I'm not like you, who can have a quiet wine with your 4 ex-boyfriends in a bar," she said.

"Hey, I never thought it was a problem to be friends with my ex," I said, conciliatory.

"Well, Harun and I agreed to stay away ... I don't even see him on Facebook".

"You, me and the baby, we're into this. Trust me, bringing male energy will help balance in this another world girl thing".

"She's not from another world! The one who wrote that message was crazy".

"Look at the baby! In a few months she's going to be your age!" I said, knowing it was time to talk things out as they are".

"It must be a strange genetic disease, that's all. Why do you think they got rid of her?"

The little girl was looking us with her usual calm from her crib. One of her forearms was resting at the handrail of the crib and the other arm was supporting her head. It reminded me of a picture of Madame Blavatsky, looking to the viewer, with eyes transmitting centuries of ancient wisdom.
