Spain, Catalonia.
...* Clarissa Davenport.*...
* *I was in the kitchen making lunch, when I heard the door slam, I went to check who it was, I looked at Valentina in front of me, her face mocking and evident as soon as she saw my presence.
...Valentina• Go back to the kitchen, maid...
...Clarissa• Respect me, I'm no one's maid...
...Valentina• Really? That's not what it looks like....
...Clarissa• My dear, if I'm making lunch it's because I have to go to work, you should consider that possibility....
...Valentina• I don't, I'm daddy's princess, you're the one who works....
...Clarissa• I never want to be the princess of my mother's killer, one day you will all pay for what you did....
...Valentina• Go back to the kitchen and shut your mouth...
I decide not to give in, I go back to the kitchen, finish lunch, serve myself and go to the table and eat there peacefully, when I was going to put my plate in the sink after finishing, the door opens and my father enters, he yells my name and Valentina's, we go to him and sit on the sofa.
...Daniel• The thing is, you Valentina will be getting married in a month and a half....
...Valentina• I'm not getting married, dad....
...Daniel• Yes you will, to my boss....
...Valentina• No I won't, I'm not going to marry a fat old man, I'll leave that role to my precious sister....
...Daniel• Alright, Valentina, I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to, so Clarissa, that obligation becomes yours....
...Clarissa• But I don't want to, you can't force me....
...Daniel• Listen here, you're going to do what I want and how I want, and you don't have any right to choose, you live under my roof, you tramp, and your little sister doesn't want to get married, so the role will be yours....
...Clarissa• I hate you Daniel, with all my strength, you're the worst father there is....
He comes towards me and slaps me hard across the face, tears stream down my face, I get up and go up to my room crying, I go to the bathroom and look in the mirror at the state of my face, a hatred rose up, I went to take a quick shower, after about 10 minutes I was out, I started to get ready, as soon as I was ready I went downstairs, I looked at those two and went out towards the bus stop, with my thoughts racing, I'm going to marry someone I don't love, I don't deserve what I'm going through, when the bus arrives, I get on and pay the fare and sit in the back, after about half an hour, it arrives at my stop, I get off and walk a little, luckily the shop is close by, as soon as I walk in Alana, a colleague comes up to me.
...Alana• What's with that sad little face?...
...Clarissa• Nothing, let's work....
...Alana• Of course, honey....
While Alana was serving a lady, a man with a closed expression, erect posture, his hair all neat and his beard well groomed, he is very handsome, and the presence of this man intimidates me in some way, his face is familiar, but I don't remember from where, he approaches and greets me.
...• Hello, good afternoon, I'd like to see a necklace....
...Clarissa• Of course, sir, do you have a preference for a specific one?...
...• The only preference I have is that it be delicate....
...Clarissa• All right, you can have a seat, I'll get the pieces, so you can choose, sir. ...
...Heitor• Ok ...
I take some necklaces, they are quite delicate, and I take them to him, who starts to look at all the pieces and soon his eyes are directed at me, he takes a deep breath, his impatience was evident, it seemed that he was not happy to be here.
...• If you were to choose, which one of these would you like?...
...Clarissa• The moon one, it's totally delicate and you can give it to anyone....
...• Why the moon?...
...Clarissa• It's fascinating, in the midst of all the darkness, it's there shining and nothing puts it out....
...• Interesting, I'm sorry for my lack of manners, I didn't introduce myself, my name is Heitor Mancini....
...Clarissa• My name is Clarissa....
...Heitor• Well, miss, I'll take the moon, could you wrap it up for me....
...Clarissa• Of course....
I wrap the necklace, he makes the payment, thanks me and leaves, Alana came all flustered wanting to know who he was, somehow that bothered me and I have no idea why, we continued working around 7:30 pm I went home, when I got there I had to make dinner, after I finished, I went to take a shower, had dinner and fell into bed, I thought a little about what is about to happen in my life, but I was overcome by sleep and exhaustion.
