1 Chapter 0

Breeze blowing, the leaves are flying, a small lake in the middle of nature surrounded by lush trees which seem to dance to the sound of the implicit music caused by the gentle breeze. In the middle of this landscape, sitting on the edge of a rustic pier, built a couple of years ago; There were an elderly adult and an infant in full childhood, who enjoyed each other's company and the sound of small splashes on the surface of the lake previously described; At one point, the little blue-eyed boy was splashed by a fish, which had jumped out of the water and hit the boy's face a little. He held it before the aquatic animal tried to return to the lake, laughing a little, he showed the fish to his companion, feeling proud of having been able to catch it.

-Very well, you're a good boy- said the old man smiling to the little cherub next to him.

-Hehe, thank you grandfather, I have a lot of fun when I'm with you -the little one hugs his oldest, with a blush that is present on the infant's cheeks and he lets see his beautiful smile in response to his grandfather's.

Alejandro and his grandfather had a great time in the summer weeks, despite the fact that the time they spent together was little, they enjoyed it to the fullest ... but that happiness was going to end at some point and indeed the terrible news came the next summer. With the sound of an old telephone ringtone.

~ RING ~

-... Hi, what!? .... Wh-when did it happen? .... Do you have the money to pay for the burial? .... Calm mom, I can give you the money for the funeral .... Yes mom, I am fine, the difficult thing will be to tell Alejandro .... he was very attached to my dad .... yes, we were see, thank you for telling me -Mr. Rodríguez hung up the phone, he had a lump in his throat and not only because of the news they just gave him, but also because the difficult thing was to explain to his son that his grandfather, the person he most appreciate just left this world. Diego Rodríguez steeled himself and walked steadily towards the room where his first-born was, easy to say, complicated would be the reaction and the disconsolate crying that his son would begin to have when he learned the terrible news.

-... Alejandro- says the boy's father as he opened the door to the room.

-Hi dad ... look what I drew -raise his arms showing the sheet of paper that he held in his hands, in it you could see a small child with an adult, who were fishing in what he pretended to be a lake.

-Wow, darling, he's very beautiful ... Ale ... I have to tell you something that happened with your grandfather ... I think you won't be able to stay with him this holiday -His lump in his throat got bigger due to his cowardice at the time to tell the truth, he was trying to overshadow the accident so as not to hurt Alejandro.

-What's going on, dad? Maybe grandfather is going on a trip ... I could go with him, you wouldn't have to worry, I take good care of myself, so I wouldn't give my grandfather much work -the little one was about to cry He loved spending time with his grandfather, it was his favorite thing of the summer.

-Little boy, I think your grandfather won't be able to take you fishing again and you won't be able to go to his farm again on vacation.

Tears appeared in the baby's blue eyes, threatening to fill the shirt that he was wearing with drops.

-... sniff ... sniff ... m-maybe he hates me dad ... I did something, maybe I behaved badly so that he no longer wants to take care of me ...- the boy was about to burst into tears, his father had a heavy heart to see his son in that state, he couldn't bear to see him like that.

-No Alejandro, you are a very good boy, but your grandfather will no longer be able to take care of you because he went to the same place as your mother ... do you remember that I told you that mother was your guardian angel? ... well now your grandfather too will be by your side to take care of you like another angel more -Mr. Rodríguez knew that his son was not naive and he was going to quickly understand what happened, so at this point there was no going back, the only thing to do was wait for the Alejandro's reaction to this situation.

-... Well I hope my grandfather does a good job as a guardian angel, just like my mom has done all these years ... I'm going to miss him a lot ... but I guess I should let him go like I did with mom -Outside you could see something smiling but inside, a feeling even stronger and more painful than the one that caused the death of his mother was present, he felt a tightness in his chest that he had never experienced, he promised himself that he would never forget his grandfather and that he would always carry it in his heart, even if that memory hurt.
