DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME

Last hope

Valentina did not even give Alirio time to stop and get off the car. She was too agitated and terrified to hear Alirio calling her in the distance behind her. The only thing she could think of was that she had to reach Juliana.

- "Excuse me nurse I need to know where Miss Valdes Juliana is, I know they are operating her right now. I need to know how she is, where can I reach her mother?"
- "Miss who are you? Are you a relative?"
- "No, I'm ... her friend"
- "I'm sorry, miss, I can't give you this information yet, only relatives can be informed right now ..."
- "Please, she's my girlfriend, please, I need to know how she is"
- "I'm sorry, but here it doesn't matter if it's your girlfriend, legally speaking it's not worth much ... only the narrow family is allowed."
- "Damn! It's not possible I just want to know where to find her!"

Valentina was screaming now, regardless of anyone's reactions inside the hospital, until she finally saw Lupita's face appear from the long corridor on her right.
Lupita was destroyed and when she noticed Valentina's presence she ran to embrace her and burst into tears.
- "Oh Valentina, thanks for coming! I- I don't know what to do she's been in for more than an hour now, they don't want to tell us anything! I don't know what to think, I'm worried. Seeing her like this, I - I can't do it!" - Lupita told her through tears.
- "How could this happen, it's all my fault I shouldn't have agreed to let her walk, I should have called Alirio damn it! I can't think of losing her, I can't!"

At that very moment a doctor came out of the operating room, calling the attention of both who immediately ran in his direction.
- "Doctor, tell us! Please tell us something! How is my daughter?"
- "Madam, calm down, your daughter's surgery was very delicate, she lost a lot of blood and we were able to save her just in time. We had to provoke a pharmacological coma to let the body rest and make it succeed in recovering with the necessary time. But the worst is over, she was very lucky."
- "In a coma? And when can we see her? How long will she be in a coma?"
- "We still don't know anything madam, for all the time it takes for her body to recover. Don't worry, it will recover. Now I have to go back inside and help my colleagues finish everything. Thank you for your patience, trust me, your daughter is really a warrior!"

And he returned to the operating room, leaving them both there, to observe themselves.
Valentina felt her legs were about to collapse, so she had to sit down.
- "In a coma ... I can't believe it, really. I can not believe."
- "Valentina, we must be strong, for her, I'm sure she will wake up soon. After all, even the doctor said that she is a warrior!" - she said, hugging her, trying to calm her. - "now go to sleep at home, when you wake up I'll call you don't worry, I promise."
- "No, Lupita, never! I don't move from here until she wakes up!"
- "Okay, okay, I won't try to convince you because I know it wouldn't help! Now I'm going to get something for the two of us for the night. Because it will be long and endless!"

And while she was alone, she leaned her head against the wall and closed her eyes, trying to gather her thoughts and her fears.
For a time that seemed infinite to Valentina, it remained like this and that's how it fell into a deep sleep, but full of dreams and restlessness.

"Keep fighting, my warrior, I'm here. I will always be."
