15 The owner of Morro [Not yet edited]

"Yuri?" i speak softly.

He finally sees me, studies me carefully and his eyes soften when they recognize me.

"Marina? Let her go and get out now, you idiots." And the boys leave us alone. He lifts me off the floor and helps me get to the couch.

"Why did they obey you?"

"Why I'm the owner of Morro Marina" Yuri speaks proudly.

"Owner of Morro Yuri?" confused and unreacted eye to the one who was once a weak and helpless being in my little arms, my Brother Yuri the Owner of the Hill?

"It's sis, your brother grew up and built my castle here on the Hill" Yuri speaks proudly.

"Like Yuri? Whenever we talked about drug dealers, did you always say you wanted to distance yourself from this life in trafficking? Why did you change your mind?" the question confused by the direction he took in his life.

"When you left home and didn't hear from our mother, she got really sick, she only knew how to cry and she was depressed and couldn't work anymore. I was just a 13-year-old kid, went out looking for an honest job and couldn't find it, they didn't want to employ someone so young. That's when I was offered to be a scout at the entrance to morro, then I went up the hierarchy of morro and i was right-hand diogo, remember him? You used to like him as a kid, so you had an invasion and he was killed. As I was her right-hand man, I took her place." Yuri tells his story without emotion in his voice, it was evident that he did not want his life to follow that path.

"I... I had no idea what was happening to you, that bastard convinced me that I'd better walk away from you, I was such a weak brother, I'm sorry for what I put you through." Tears fall on my face, feelings of anger and hatred of myself for believing in that wretched, how could I do that to those I loved the most?

"Don't cry sister, we're fine, today the mother lives like a queen. I give her the good and the best." Yuri speaks proudly.

"But Yuri, what you do is dangerous, at any moment they can invade the Hill and kill you." As I speak tears of anguish at the thought of being lost they leave my eyes.

Yuri pulls me into a tight embrace, reminding me of the day I leave the house...

"Marina, do you have to go?" Yuri hugs me and asks for the thousandth time.

"Yes my brother, I love him and Want to be with him forever. That was his condition to be with him" I speak tearful, sad to be leaving happier to be with the love of my life.

"If you put your foot out of this house, don't ever come back" my mother speaks through tears, but unable to look me in the eye.

"Mom, he wants me! He wants me to go to his house, you can come visit us. Maybe even you can live with us and leave this hill when we can stabilize" I speak fantasizing a future for us.

"I don't like this man, I don't think he's the right person for you. You are making a mistake by marrying so young and with Him." She pours the words into me, looks me in the eye and I could see the fear she was feeling, her only daughter woman going to live with someone she didn't approve of. "I love you my Daughter, I hope with all my heart that I am wrong and that you are very happy" hugs me and leaves towards your room, pickup my bags and leaves the house.

I return to reality ...

"Marina, you're not going to kill me, you don't have to be afraid." Yuri talks to me consoling "Now let's go down to our house, this is not a good place for you to be" passes his arms over my shoulder and guides me out of his office.

The night was already falling, the sunset up here was always very beautiful. We went down to my mother's house, she was sitting on the porch with a beautiful girl on her lap. When they saw us the girl jumped and came running towards us with a giant smile on her face.

"Daddy, Daddy Grandma said you weren't coming back today" raises your arms asking for your father's lap, the curly blond-haired girl, blue eyes and delicate features, looks at me and asks her father "Who's the pretty daddy girl?" and directs me a smile with dimples on her face.

"It's his aunt Marina, Sarah remember I ever told you about her?" Her looks fondly at her daughter and gives her a kiss on the cheek and lets her out on the floor.

"Hi? My name is Sarah, my grandma said I'm very much like you" she comes close to me a little shy performing.

"Hi little princess, I don't think so." She looks at me with sadness "I think you're so much more beautiful" complete and she throws me a charming smile and comes to hug me. "Hi Mommy" I speak afraid, looking from among Sarah's hair.

"Hi daughter, finally you came home" hugs me and starts crying.

"Mother I promise never to leave you again. I'm sorry to make you suffer." And we cried in a weese.

"Come on in, I made carrot cake for coffee. Sarah's favorite Joana talks while grabbing her granddaughter in her lap.

"hmm,i miss your cakes."

Sarah holds my hand with her little hand and takes me inside the house. While my mother put the plates on the table she showed me the house. It was different here, a renovation was done in the house and exchanged the old furniture for more sophisticated ones. But one thing has not changed the pictures on the walls remain the same, just added the pictures of Sarah, from the day of her birth to today.

"Girls, come eat"
