The end

Sunday 2017

Three days later, Miguel had already done everything he needed, had eaten the best foods his uncle had brought until he almost exploded, and was currently in the same room sleeping, while waiting to die naturally. By this time he was already looking terrible, dark circles under his eyes and his skin and lips were pale. His mother was also beside him holding his hand.

After sleeping for more than 8 hours, Miguel starts shaking his eyes, unable to open them properly, but after doing a little more strength, he manages to leave them ajar. As he looks around slowly, he sees a soft hand squeeze in his own hand, and when looking, his mother is looking at him with a loving look and watery eyes, while giving him a beautiful smile and stroking his hair.

"Hi mom" Miguel whispers.

"Hi son, how are you feeling? What about your headache?"

"Terrible. Ha." Miguel responds with the same whisper, tries to laugh, but even that proves difficult, he thinks for a few seconds and keeps talking.

"Mom, I feel like I won't be able to wake up again after I fall asleep one more time ..."

In a slow, weak voice, Miguel speaks, while his mother closes her eyes, squeezes his hand hard and starts to cry non-stop.

"I-I got it, son. I-I'm going to call your father and sister and t-tell them to come back faster." with an unbearable anguish, Rose responds in the best way she can by stuttering, while feeling a salty taste in her mouth from the tears, along with a lump in her throat. She takes out her cell phone from the next table, and clicks the speed dial for her husband.

She tries once, but after ringing several times, she is unsuccessful. She tries once more second time, she ringing several times and again is unsuccessful. Finding the situation strange, because her husband is aware that cannot to switch offoff or stay away from your cell phone, she tries to contact her daughter's cell phone through speed dial. After trying again twice, she starts to be extremely worried, since her daughter would never hang up or not answer her cell phone in the situation they are in.

While trying to send messages through some applications, she starts to hear the sound of hurried steps in the corridor outside, until stops in front of the room where she was, and after waiting a few seconds, the door is opened and Dr. Melo enters the room. followed by a nurse who is right behind her.

She approaches Rose, holds her hand with a complicated look on her face, looks at Miguel, who is also waiting for something to be said and begins to speak in a low voice.

"Rose, your husband and daughter were victims of a car accident. They arrived here in the hospital a few minutes ago. Your husband has only minor injuries, but his daughter will need a transplant in a few hours ..." she stops speaking , while looking at Miguel, who starts to tear his eyes.

Upon hearing Dr. Melo speak, Rose is stunned, while looking with dead fish eyes at Dr. Melo, not believing what she just heard, the tears even stop falling due to the shock and incredulity of the news.

While Miguel also hears the news, tears start to pour out of her eyes, while he tries her best to think as rationally as possible, but it becomes extremely painful because her sister is the person he loves the most.

"MOM!" Miguel speaks as loudly as he can, but it becomes just a whisper a little louder and more hoarse.

Hearing her son, Rose turns her gaze on him, comes out of his shock, and tears start to well up in his eyes again.

"Mom, it's going to be okay. You are going to see dad and sis with the nurse for now. I will hold the things here." says Miguel in a pitiful state, with tears falling from his face, his voice hoarse and whispering, while visibly his hand is shaking.

Hearing her son, Rose approaches him, caresses her face and gives him a long kiss on the forehead.

"I love you, son." says Rose in a hoarse voice.

"I love you mom." Miguel replies in a whisper.

Rose gets up, and goes towards the door completely devastated, while the nurse goes next to her supporting her.

"You understood what I said, right?" after the door closes, Dr. Melo looks at Miguel as he asks.

"Yes, aunt. She needs a transplant, and needs a cursed donor because the compatibility it her blood." after speaking, Miguel sees Dr. Melo nod his head positively, and continues.

"What does she need? Is it safe?" still in a whispering voice, Miguel questions.

"Yes, it will ..." Dr. Melo hesitates to answer.

"Aunt, don't lie." Miguel notices his hesitation, and questions it harshly.

Looking deeply into Miguel's eyes, Dr. Melo takes a deep breath and begins to speak.

"... Miguel, she had her chest crushed in the accident and needs a heart transplant in a few hours. It will be a risky surgery." says Dr. Melo seriously.

After listening, Miguel spends a few seconds thinking, and then raises his hand, inducing his aunt to hold her.

"Do whatever is necessary. I agree. When she wakes up, say that we will be together literally and figuratively, so she will need to take care of herself. Please save her."

"I will take care of the legal affairs and be back. I will do my best." with tears in her eyes, Dr. Melo speaks after thinking for a while, returns Miguel's hand to the bed, and leaves the room.

Soon after the door closes, Miguel hears an interference sound from a radio next to him, and soon after, he starts listening to the music he always playing for his sister.

♫An angel from heaven

♫Who brought it to me

Listening to the beginning of the song, Miguel starts to well up tears in his eyes, while starting a dialogue in his head.

'I understood. You damn son of a bitch. I know you are listening to me. '

♫It's the most beautiful

♫The perfect jewel

'Your joke is not funny. I don't care if you do it to me, but with my sister is unfair, you bastard.'

♫Which is for me to take care

♫That i'm to love

'Please.'

♫Crystalline drop

♫Has all innocence

'I never complained, nor did I ask you for anything ...'

♫Comes

♫Oh baby

'Just ... Leave her alone and ...'

♫Don't cry, no

♫I'll sing for you...

'Save her.'

Miguel stops listening to the music, while his vision is darkening and his pupils are closing. With tears in his eyes, he closes them completely, never to open them again. (?)
