What is This?

Chapter 03 time

Weeks after the accident happened, José was already home after the discharge had been given.

The young man was lying on his bed, looking at the ceiling of his room, eager to take control to open the roof that would allow him to see the stars as he always used to do with Tatiana at his side.

But now Tatiana was not there and she did not have the power to go for control since she did not have the way to get out of her bed because she was missing something: a leg.

And all for a perfect afternoon that was completely ruined by the arrival of the shark.

He sat on his bed feeling lost in the darkness, but more than anything lost in life because after what had happened, Joseph did not know very well what would happen to his life now and he felt lost.

He released a sigh followed by his eyes watering.

He could not even look at the place where his leg was before because he was terrified of not finding something he never thought he would lose.

In his life he had imagined losing many things, but never losing a limb.

And yet it had happened and I did not know how to deal with it.

There were nights when I woke up wanting to go to the bathroom and tried to get up to do it normally as I always did, but then I felt that pain down there and I remembered that I could not do things like before.

He had, then, to yell at his father to come help him while it became his left foot and he even had to urinate with him next to him.

There were times that he was not and then his mother had to help.

Speaking of her mother, her door sounded and then she poked her head through it.

- I can pass?-

She asked in a strange voice and Jose knew he had been crying.

He nodded despite wanting to be alone because his mother was his mother and he knew that he was the person who suffered the most seeing his son lying in bed every day due to the fact that, from his knee on, there was nothing.

Although she knew well that she was not the only one, she also recognized the fact that somewhere there was also a young woman who suffered for him.

A young woman named Tatiana, whom he did not want to see

Are you comfortable like this or do you need something?

- You could pass me the roof control.

His mother approached his desk and took control that opened the roof window.

He handed it to his son and he touched a button that made an appointment with the stars possible in the middle of the night.

-Tatiana called, son-

His mother commented making her son close his eyes tightly.

He had heard that name all week and was feeling that he hated it.

He insisted on coming to see you again and your father said yes.

Jose frowned.

- Why?

-Because she needs to know how you are too.

She has been your friend all her life, she has always been there for you and she also wants to be with you at this moment.

You need to know how you are.

- Well, tell him I'm fine!

-Tomorrow you tell him-
