Chapter 2 continued

After a quick trip, my mother and I arrived at the shopping center ready to buy a new wardrobe, the university coliseum is in the capital of the country, a place that is much higher than the purple city and therefore has temperatures much lower in the winter that's why my mom insisted on renewing my wardrobe, it's not that I'm going to vote on my current clothes, far from it, I love my clothes but I have to admit that I hate the garment that will be most useful to me in my new life: pants, without a doubt they are one of my biggest nightmares, I love skirts, shores, lycra, dresses, I dress almost any color, I really am not very picky about anything except pants, maybe it is because my city is hot but every time I wear one I feel like I'm suffocating, I suppose I have to overcome my aversion, for that reason and as if it were shock therapy my mother has made me try myself in the short time that we have been here more than 20 pants of which I have bought 10, in addition to the pants we have also bought 10 new coats and 10 sweaters, in addition to some very comfortable shoes that added to some gloves and hats make the total of the day's purchase at least in terms of clothing for that and after my mom paid for the last clothes I tell her

-Now what are we going to do mom?

-For the moment we are going to have something for lunch, I don't know about you but I'm starving, then we can if you want to go do something to your hair

-Something in her hair, mom? but if you know that this month I already cut it

-I'm not talking about a cut I'm talking about doing something to you, anything, I know you've never done anything to your hair, but you're eighteen years old Alma, you're going to live on the other side of the country, alone, so I do think If you are going to break with almost everything that has been your day to day then you must do it well, you know what I think if you are going to be something then do it well, if you want to start this new life then do it, I know what is supposed that a mother should not say this to a daughter but you have been too correct my girl, the only thing that has existed for you has been studies, you have never had a boyfriend despite the fact that several boys have proposed to you and you definitely do not have many friends

-To mom, the way you say it seems like I'm antisocial, I have friends

-If you have friends, and no, you are not antisocial, you are smiling, intelligent and a very loyal person, what I am trying to tell you, little girl, is that you have never experienced what most adolescents live, that debauchery through life, that flow Endless questions, rebellion, and it is true it should not be ungrateful precisely your way of being has saved your father and me a lot of headaches but now you are not going to live with us you are going to live far away at the university, alone and you are going to know a world that you have not seen so far, not only are you going to be a medical student, you are going to be a young woman who is going to be alone who is going to meet friends, who is going to go to parties and is going to fall in love, and I know you think it is, I am saying it as a scolding but it is not like that, if it is true I ask you to think and do everything with measure, but more importantly I want you to enjoy and discover who you are, not what you want to be but Who are you, now yes, if your dad asks I have never told you this, it is ca peace of hanging me, for him you will always be his little princess

-Mom my dad is ... my dad

-And what is that supposed to mean?

And that's when I know we are in trouble, I turn my head and there practically in front of us is my father with one of his much-loved suits, so the only thing I am born to say is
