My heart
I hear voices talking I can't open my eyes. Doctor: she suffers from Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) you know I already told us she can't get stressed I told you to be careful to stay close to them the problem is that she was already born with a different heart being that she was born with the aortic valve this anomalous from birth (congenital disease) more specific bicuspid aortic valve instead of having three flaps it has only two so both together is a big problem.
Laila: what do you advise us to do?
Doctor: for the moment she has to take medicine as soon as she improves she will have to undergo the first surgery after she heals she can do another one but in time she has to be as calm as possible, this girl risks a lot.
Laila: ok thanks a lot I slowly open my eyes Laila notices it and runs towards me embracing me.
Laila: you scared me, you know?
Fatima went to work said it was urgent. Aurora: tell him not to tell anyone about me. Laila: Don't worry, I already thought you didn't want anything to be known so I told them not to say anything to anyone, not even him. Aurora: well do me a favor, call him and tell him that I will take a concession from work for a few weeks tell him that you are urgent and I have to come with you.
Laila without asking anything else takes the phone informing him of my departure.
Laila: why don't you tell them the truth? Aurora: she doesn't have to know she already has many thoughts on her mind I'll rest there from you.
Laila: then you will find a surprise
I agree with a smile, I want to leave to be alone I want some time for me after all I deserve it these last few weeks everything has happened to me. We are already at the airport we are waiting for our call when I hear my mobile phone I look at the screen I do not want to answer so I put it back in the bag without thinking about it.
Andy: seriously? Not answering my calls?
I remain motionless without turning around him, placing himself in front of me, he raises my head making me look him in the eyes Andy: Did you leave without saying goodbye? Are you so sick of me that you don't even say hello?
Aurora: what are you saying I knew you were busy I didn't want to disturb you
Andy: don't tell lies you know that I will always make time for you, as soon as I heard from Fatima that you were leaving today I immediately ran here, I had to say goodbye. He hugs me tightly, I don't reciprocate, I just stay still We hear our call
Laila: Andy I'm sorry but we have to go He lets go giving me a kiss on the cheek,
I smile at them and waved at him.
Andy: Let me know when you come back so I'll come get you ok?
Aurora: ok bye We get on the plane I slept all the time the medicines I started taking are very strong they make me drowsy and nauseated the doctor told me that it is normal at first then the body gets used to it.
We are at Laila's house as soon as you enter I find a perfume to eat.
Aurora: what happens who is inside the house?
Laila: let's go inside and I'll show you the surprise We enter the living room I look around confused.
Ben: welcome home With open arms he comes towards us I am really confused Aurora: Hi Ben, what are you doing here?
Laila jumps them up and Ben kisses her on the mouth then these two.
Aurora: let me understand you are together? Since when ?
Why did I not know anything?
Laila: I'm sorry but so many things have happened to you so we postponed it
Ben: hello to you too dear sister-in-law well we have been together since I brought her here since we were both at the same university even though we have different courses and different years we have kept in touch for not feeling alone but then I don't know how I fell in love with your sister.
Aurora: do you know that if you break their heart I will break your cradle?
Look, I'm not joking. Ben: I won't do it Aurora you know what kind of person I am right? Aurora: this is different Ben you are talking about my sister she is my life I have only her in my life.
Ben: I swear with my hand on my heart that I'll take care of her and never hurt them.
He hugs me tightly Aurora: If something happens to me I know that she is in good hands thanks Ben.
Ben: Don't say that you'll be fine okay?
Laila: shall we eat?
I agree by going to wash my hands and sitting at the table we eat everything that Ben cooked for good.
Aurora: You are an excellent cook, you know Ben?
Ben: Thanks for the women in my life I will try to do better and better.
I smile taking my cell phone I see that I have messages one and from Andy.
Hey how are you? Did the trip go well? How are you there? To the difficulties? Do you need something can I do something for you? I smile at the thought of how many questions and facts in a single message
Ben: Do you know?
Aurora: no, she doesn't have to know He raises his hands
Laila: but you will have to say it when you do the surgery how will you do?
Aurora: I'll see It's been three weeks since I've been here with Laila and Ben they made me have fun and rest assured I'm glad my sister has found a good man in her life Ben is special it's wonderful i'm quiet that i leave it in her hands. I have just arrived at the airport and I see Fatima running towards me and hugs me tightly Fatima: I missed you
Aurora: I missed you too He helps me with my bags and we get on the taxi I stop at the first pharmacy taking some things I need.
As soon as I get home I run into the bathroom and lock myself Fatima: do you feel bad?
Aurora: wait no I'm fine I have to check something I go out immediately As soon as I go out you find Fatima in front of the door looks at my hand and I slowly raise my hand towards her making them see.
Fatima: you mean that .....
Aurora: it is positive I felt it but I did not want to do it to have confirmation.
Fatima: when did you notice?
Aurora: when Ben was cooking the food was good but I was always nauseous I called the doctor and I told them what I felt and he told me that the cure has nothing to do with them when I told them about the menstruation he advised me to take the test .
Fatima: and it is good that you will become a mother, how beautiful it is He jumps off me and hugs me
Fatima: best wishes I'm very happy think how Andy will be as soon as she finds out.
He frowned immediately Fatima: why is it not hers?
Aurora: of course I was with him for the first time and also the last, it happened two weeks before leaving.
Fatima: then what are you waiting for? Run to give the news
Aurora: I don't know I don't want him to take on responsibilities that aren't his not ..... maybe he doesn't even remember I can't force him to stay close to me and accept my baby.
Fatima: aurora listen I have not known him for a long time but I have seen how he looks at you and how he takes care of you so I advise you to talk to him tell him the truth that he has no obligation towards you two, let him decide what he wants to do don't you think he has the right? I agree I take the house keys the phone putting them in the bag.
I go out to the street, hailing a taxi, get in and give them Andy's home address.
He arrived, I pay for the taxi and I make him go inside the house taking the spare keys he showed me where I am and it seems today it was useful to know.
I sit on the sofa waiting for Andy to come home. Maybe I fell asleep I feel very hot I put my hand on my forehead I am burning maybe I have a fever I pick up the phone to look at the time It is past midnight and still no trace of Andy soon I am sure it will arrive in time I call the my doctor. I'm sorry I'm calling at this time you said I can call you at any time right? You must inform yourself first I did the test and it is positive and the second thing there is something wrong because I fell asleep normal and after a few hours I woke up with a fever what should I do?
Doctor: You say that a few hours earlier you were fine? And now you have a fever?
Yes just like this
Doctor: take something for the fever right away remember you are expecting so only medicines you can take when you are pregnant where are you now? You are alone? I don't think I know where the meds are at Andy's here
Aurora: Doctor I don't think I have any fever medicine here
Doctor: then bow a taxi I also tell me where you are I come to get you don't joke Aurora now you are no longer alone you also have a little creature inside you.
Aurora: ok I'll call you back soon
I cut off the call seeing some lights a car is parking in front of the house must be Andy. I remain silent on the sofa waiting for him to come inside, turn on the lights
Andy: this way, sit down on the sofa and I'll bring you the medicine
Hearing those words I try to get up someone yells so loud that I take a shot turning a little to see who it is I put my foot wrong and I fall down like a potato.
Aurora: aiii this one hurt Andy runs towards the living room to see who is as soon as he finds me on the ground he starts laughing heartily fearing his belly, the girl comes too looking at me curious and he confused. Andy: You finally arrived I didn't say to tell me so I would come get you?
Aurora: Andy don't laugh help me more soon He helps me immediately by putting me on the sofa
The girl: who are you?
Andy: this is Aurora
The girl: I understand, listen, I'm taking my medicine, I'm dying of a headache
He immediately runs to look for them and I stay and she sits in the armchair
The girl: how did you get in?
I don't have time to reply that Andy rushes me Andy: Keep your medicine
She takes it right away
Andy: With the spare keys only you knew where I am, have you been waiting for me a long time?
The girl: I know you haven't seen each other for a while but Andy now I think you'll have to accompany me.
The evening is over right? He agrees
Andy: I'll call you a taxi
Aurora: no need I have already called someone to come and get me I get up slowly, I feel a pain in my ankle but I shut up and try to walk as normally as possible
The girl: are you already leaving? So I'm going to take a shower Andy bay bay to you too Aurora see you soon.
Andy: what do you say Aurora you are not leaving and you call a taxi and leave now.
The girl: why do I have to leave? I'm your girlfriend right? At those words I freeze looking at him confused he has his head down, I take the phone and call the doctor telling them where I am.
Aurora: soon she arrives I'll go I don't need her Andy to go.
Andy: What are you saying?
Aurora: Best wishes for your engagement
The girl: thank you dear And he goes into the bathroom
Andy: It's not what you think I have an explanation
Aurora: You don't have to give me any explanation
He takes my hand looking into my eyes Andy: I'll explain everything seriously it's not like you think she's not ... I take his hand from mine and smile at them
Aurora: you do not have to explain anything Andy I have no right to interfere with your private life as far as you have been granted you held my hand now stop and live yours so I will too, change the place of the spare keys this is there last time I enter your house.
Andy: what are you saying Aurora now you are exaggerating.
Aurora: I'm exaggerating what Andy?
Andy: I told you, give me some time and you'll understand everything on your own.
I feel my head spinning I squeeze my eyes in pain I stagger a bit stretched out his hand to hold me by the wall squeezing and looking at my phone they are calling me I answer You are here ? Get inside right away
Andy: What's going on? Are you OK ? Approaching me try to keep me away immediately
Aurora: I'm fine, you don't need to worry.
The door opens and the doctor runs to me, first checking my fever with his hand and then checking me well.
Doctor: Did you take your fever medication? I say no with my head.
Andy: Do you have a fever? Why didn't you tell me? What happens ? Who are you? Aurora: let's get out of here please I put a hand on my heart I miss the air I have difficulty breathing then the total darkness.
