chapter 7(edited)

It had been more than 3 days since Ethan had fallen ill and he was now doing very well, over the course of the 3 days Ethan and Sara, along with Richard returned to Sara's house.

This time the three of them found something, it was a portable communication radio, at least that's what it was called in the magazines Ethan found at home.

Next to the radio, there was also a small piece of paper, something was written down, a series of numbers, which Ethan believed to be some kind of frequency.

But no one risked putting it on, especially Ethan, who prevented his friends from doing anything rash.

On the second day, luckily for the three of them, Sara's father had decided to go down the mountain, apparently, he had to bring something.

Although I think, he will bring Sara's gift, because in two days Sara's birthday will be here.

During the time Sara's father, Sara, and Richard were leaving.

Those who did not listen to me placed the frequency of waves in the communication radio, apparently, it was a private frequency, because as soon as the frequency was placed.

A series of messages began to repeat, over and over again, so I decided to write it down, to find out what it was all about.

But to this day, I could not figure out what it is for.

But Sara's birthday is coming up, so I stopped focusing on that and decided to work on the gift I was going to give her.

The gift was a scarf, I was working hard on it, especially since I made it in Sara's favorite color, white.

The three days had passed and today was Sara's birthday, Ethan was excited because Sara was his best friend.

Although Ethan was sometimes serious and boring, he didn't let him and continued to play with him, along with Richard.

Alan "Do you have everything ready to go to Sara's house? "

Ethan "YES DADDY!"

I have been since yesterday, I know that this time I will win with my gift the first place of the best gift.

Alan "You know that Sara always likes your gifts, a proof of that is the bracelet you made her last year, she has taken very good care of it these 120 months, which is no small thing."

Ethan "I know dad and then I'm going to stay at Sara's house... YES...! "

Alan "All right, you're going to stay, but remember no bathing with Sara, after all they are adults, usually kids your age already have their own families, I feel old".

Ethan "Dad, don't talk about it! You know I'm still a kid and besides you're only 30 years old and you've got a long time to live."

Alan "You're not a child anymore, maybe you haven't hit your growth spurt yet, but you will at some point, just like Sara and Richard, who already look like young adults."

Ethan "Alright let's go dad!"

Alan "That's enough... "

Alan "Dad and How did you meet Mom?"

Alan "Well, it's a great story, I'll tell you part of it while we go to Sara's house."

Alan "Well where to start, actually when I was your age I was not very quiet so to speak, I considered myself someone very imperative and curious, all the time I was always walking and escaping from the town.

Back then, the town did not have as much security as it does today, it was very easy to escape, so it was very easy for me to escape, along with my good friend and partner in crime Paul.

One night, I knew that something was calling me, it's like a special feeling of union that we people have, you can call it whatever, but I recognize it as destiny.

Ethan "Yeah but dad it's impossible for a feeling to lead you to a person."

Alan "You will understand in due time son, so let's continue, the night was freezing, it really felt like my bones were freezing, but I still didn't give up."

Alan "It was there when I found your mother, she was badly wounded, her white hair that you inherited from her, was stained with blood and her tiny body, merged with the white color of the snow."

Alan "It really was love at first sight, I didn't want anything to happen to her, so I took her with me, I ran with all my might, ignoring the loud creaking of my bones from the cold, it really was magical that day and then I spent weeks with her, while I treated her wounds, she was perfect, but her smile always warmed my heart."

Ethan "And she told you about, because she was hurt dad..."

Alan "Well....mira here we are, another day I'll tell you the rest of the story."

Actually, even if I hid it well, I could see the sadness and hatred in my father's eyes when I uttered my last words.

I knew there was something else, but I didn't talk more, it must be a very painful subject for him, after all, it hurts more than losing someone you knew and loved, on the other hand, I didn't know my mother, I didn't develop the feelings, to suffer when I lost them.

Although it sounds cold, I didn't really suffer much, unlike my dad who did.

Although it would be the opposite, if I lost my dad, then I would cry and suffer, because after all, he was the person who took care of me and who showed me what it means to feel the warm love of a family.

At last, he had arrived at Sara's house, Ethan was the first to enter the house once they arrived, inside were many children.

The imperative Sara really knew how to make friends and the large number of children in her house proved it.

Although most of them were boys, who like Sara, I didn't really blame them, since Sara entered her growing year, she became prettier.

In her thoughts, Ethan didn't see Sara and she took advantage of that, so she positioned herself behind him and was ready to scare him, but she saw the gift in Ethan's hands and decided to snatch it from Ethan.

Sara was really happy about it, Ethan's gifts were her favorite, she didn't know why, because her mother didn't want to tell her, but she felt warm since she started her year of growing up.

HEY...! Ethan was about to complain when someone had taken his gift for Sara, but he calmed down when he saw who it was.

When he relaxed and watched as Sara unwrapped the gift, Ethan was nervous about whether or not he would like it, but when he saw Sara's smile, he calmed down.

*sigh*

Letting out a sigh that he didn't even know he had, Ethan approached Sara and saw how she was wearing her scarf, which he had taken so long to make and hoped not to make again, at least not for the next gift, because he suffered so much in doing so,

"Well come on! " Sara spoke, as she pulled Ethan along while hiding her face in her scarf, no one could see her except her mother, who was smiling at the sight.

"youth"

The party went wonderfully, Richard had joined soon after, much to Sara's anger, but left soon after, much to Sara's delight.

Sara took Ethan for a walk in a moment of bravery and Ethan, who didn't want to, was pushed by Richard, who forced him to dance.

It was time to cut the cake, everyone sang their song to Sara and finally, it was time to go to sleep.

Ethan didn't know why Sara was so bold all of a sudden, but just as he was about to go to sleep she lay down on his bed to sleep, which Ethan didn't see the problem and let her do.

"Good evening."

"Goodnight Ethan" Sara said as she snuggled closer to Ethan and smiled, truly one of her best birthdays ever.

Or so it would be if it weren't for ...his parents.

Well, in every marriage there are divorces and Sara already knew why her parents did not stay together as before.

"I really hate that," Sara complained before going to sleep.
