Short Stories - Flaritza

broken heart syndrome Part 3

Flaca and Maritza sat on the floor for a few minutes, not talking. Flaca was leaned on Maritza while the small woman wrapped her arm around Flaca's shoulder kissing first her temple and then leaving another sweet kiss on her cheek.

"I don't want to rush you, but you only have an hour to think about it, cause then the body will fully expire and you won't be able to return"

Maritza explains her voice soft and gentle, one of her arms was still wrapped around Flaca's body while the other hand was soothingly caressing her bestfriend burning red cheeks, Flaca had both of her hands gripping tightly on Maritza's hand as she buried her face deep into her chest crying non-stop

"Can I stay in contact with them? If I don't go back?"

Flaca asks sniffing as she took a deep breath in and slightly pulled away from Maritza

"Yes if course, you can visit one if them twice a week, so if you're visiting Gloria and Cindy is next to her, Gloria will see you but Cindy won't"

Maritza explains to her removing her own tears

"Only twice??"

Flaca says kind of disappointed that she would only be able to talk to them 1 on 1 and only twice a week

"Yes, you get 30 minutes with them, but then after like 5 years I think he said, we can leave heaven whenever we like to and go to the world where ever and whenever"

Maritza says smiling gently, Flaca looks at her confused

"And that's good cause we can walk through walls too?"

Flaca scoffs making her best friend roll her eyes

"No stupid, we can communicate with them whenever we want for how long we want"

Maritza explains herself better

"ok, but five years from now that's a lot of time, so you're saying that till then I'll only be able to contact them twice a week? And only one visit per person?"

Flaca asks one of her eyebrows arched as she was still in confusion of whether or not she was understanding right

"Yes basically, but then there are dreams. They're the best, you get 4 dreams per week, again after 5 years you can be in there dreams all the time, but anyways. In the dreams you can basically gather all of them in one dream, you'd be the one in control of everything that happens in the dream, so if you want to go to I don't know a Luna park with Gloria and Cindy you can do that"

Maritza explains how the dreams work

"So basically you kinda get 6 visits per week"

She continues trying her best to explain what happens without being too positive about it, cause again she still didn't want to effect Flaca's choice, no matter how badly she wanted Flaca to stay with her she still wanted her to stay out of her own will, abd not cause she was pressured by her.

"You sure they work? And how long do the dreams last?"

Flaca asks now fully pulling away from Maritza and sitting straight, she had calmed down from her uncontrollable crying but you could still see the sadness all over her face and the pain in her eyes.

"Yes I'm sure, cause I communicate with Juliana, that's how I spend my visits mostly, and sometimes with Gloria, too make sure she was ok and ask how you were doing she always told me that you were doing just fine though"

Maritza says her eyebrows furrowing, why would Gloria lie to her about it?

"It's probably so you wouldn't blame yourself, you know how Gloria is when it comes to us, anything to protect her young babies"
