That's How It Was ║ Leon Goretzka

Gelsenkirchen

                                                                                  My own home

I arrived in the morning at about 8:00 am, I went through migration ...

-Mafer! - said Mrs. Pilar, who was waiting for me among all the people that were waiting

-Mrs.Pilar! Nice to meet you - I said to her

-Nice to meet you too, girl! How was the flight? - she asked with a Mexican accent

-It was okay, a little tired, but nothing more - I said with a smile.

-I know, is normal, many hours sitting bored and tired- she said and we laughed

Mrs. Pilar guided me to her car, I got my suitcases and we went to her house. When we arrived, it was a white house on the outside, large and very nice, and when we entered there was an old lady with a tender smile.

-Mafer, she's my mom, Estela- Pilar said to me

-It's a pleasure, Mrs. Estela, how are you? – I asked

-Very well, my girl, and you? - Estela said, like her daughter, with a Mexican accent, but with a touch of German

-I'm fine thanks. I hope to meet expectations to take care of you - I said in a tone like if I was a professional.

They invited me to breakfast, which I could not deny because I was too hungry, after that, Mrs. Pilar let me know what my "job" consisted of because Mrs. Estela already had some nurses which made me think "¿ Why am I here if the lady already has someone to take care of her? " Just as if Pilar read my mind, she told me that more to take care of her, I was here to do some company, which made me sad because I had left my two grandmothers in my country to come to Germany and take care of another person.

-Do you have any questions? – Pilar asked to me

-No, Mrs. Pilar - I answered firmly.

-Well, let's see your house-

- My house? – I asked. What? How?

-Yes, I want you to have your privacy- she said

- Oh! - The only thing that came out of my mouth

The house was in the other side, literal we were neighbors.

It was a house of one floor and was much smaller but just as cute, on the outside it was salmon colored with a grid of two meters high in brown and a small garden in the front door of the house.

-Your keys - Pilar said – I asked some people to cleaned and fixed because there were a few faults, I also installed internet and TVcable – she said

What could be better?

-Pilar, why I can't stay with Mrs. Estela and you in your house?

- The problem is that we do not have more rooms, the house is big, but only that, it's only four bedrooms, and this little house has a lot that we do not occupy and I want you to give this house a little bit of life – she said laughing.

-Oh! It's okay! - I said laughing.

- I leave you, I need to go to the office. I'll be back in a couple hours- Pilar left and left me in my new home.

I had a look at the house, it had several furniture, the house was not new, but it was in good condition and nice, there was also a living room, a dining room for 4 people a kitchen, 2 rooms and 1 bathroom, it was a simple little house painted like "Egyptian ivory" or something like that. I took my bags to the main room and began to accommodate my things, I lay down a bit and took out my laptop to post on Facebook that was already in Germany, everyone was interested I was laughing, the truth, I received many likes that were not normal, I maximum received like 60 or less and that time exceeded 150, I also told my close friends that I had already arrived and all that stuff, I spoke to my parents, nothing new, the classics " be very careful" and "I love you ". After spending a few hours of gossiping on social networks, Pilar called me to my cell phone to go to eat and I went immediately.

-What did you say in migration, Mafer? – Estella asked

- That I came to study at the university - I replied - only that - I concluded.

- Good, because sometimes they get a little heavy with the foreigners and more when they do not speak German - we laugh with the comment of the lady.

- Tomorrow we'll go to your university, as I told you on the phone, I managed to get you to the section of foreigners where classes are in English but soon you must know German. -

- Of course, Pilar, I promise that I will learn – I said

We finished eating although it was like 5:00 pm, I took a bath and I came back with Estela to check her, later I went back I became silly until I fell asleep.
