Episode 15

Andrea - Ye..yes, thank you, Mr. Sil..

He gets closer to me.

Alexander - Please call me Alexander.

Andrea - O..of co..course, ex..excuse me, it's custom (I say stuttering, how embarrassing), could you let go of me, please? (I say, too nervous).

He smiles and seems to think about it.

Andrea - Please.

Alexander - Yes, excuse me.

Andrea - No problem, in fact, thanks to you I didn't fall to the floor.

Alexander - I would never let you fall (he smiles).

Andrea - Huh? (surprised, what was that?) Well, Mr. Alexander, thank you.

Alexander - Just Alexander, please.

Andrea - Okay, now tell me what you need to talk to me about.

Alexander - Well, Doctor, maybe I'm getting into something that doesn't concern me, but when I came back to meet you and go with my brother, I saw sadness in your eyes and don't try to tell me that I didn't notice the blow you received on your cheek.

Andrea - (surprised) Uh, it wasn't a...

But he doesn't let me finish.

Alexander - Doctor, I know what a blow looks like and you can't deny that you received one, your skin is so white that it gives you away.

I blush so much I think I look like a tomato and the Greek god smiles at what he can cause in me.

Andrea - Okay, Alexander, I won't deny the blow, it was a family disagreement that won't happen again.

Alexander - I assure you of that.

Andrea - Huh? (God, what is he referring to? I'm so nervous) It won't happen again.

Alexander - Do you want to leave?

Andrea - Actually, yes, I have to go to rest, I had a heavy day and it's been many hours of not sleeping.

Alexander - I'm not just referring to your day, Doctor.

Andrea - I don't understand, Alexander.

Alexander - Let me be clearer, Doctor. Do you want to leave this place? Region? Country? Get away from your family?

I see he is surprised.

Andrea - To be honest, I might, Alexander.

Alexander - I can help you with that, Doctor.

Andrea - Help me with what? I don't understand.

Alexander - To leave the country undetected.

I'm more surprised by his comment.

Andrea - Alexander, I can leave the country undetected, I appreciate you wanting to help me but...

(I don't finish speaking when he tells me)

Alexander - And how would you do that, Doctor? From the blow I saw on your cheek, you won't have it easy, with your family to let you go, and if they realize you want to leave, they won't let you.

Andrea - Tell me where you're going with this, Alexander.

Alexander - I want to help you, Doctor.

Andrea - I appreciate the intention, but it's not necessary, I can leave the country without my family noticing.

Alexander - Again, I ask, Doctor. How will you do that?

Andrea - Better tell me where you want to go with all this.

Alexander - Can I be direct?

Andrea - Please.

Alexander - Excellent, I want you to be my wife.

My eyes widen and I look surprised.

Andrea - Alexander, you don't understand...

But he doesn't allow me to continue, he raises his hand.

Alexander - Allow me to finish (I just nod) being my wife, I can assure you that you will leave the country undetected, you will live peacefully and above all I will always keep you safe, after all you will be my wife, I will take care of you more than my life (he smiles).

I'm in shock watching if it's some kind of joke but no, the security in his words and I see that in his eyes there is no doubt, this Greek god before me is really serious.

Andrea - Alexander, I don't think being your...

But again he doesn't allow me to continue.

Alexander - Believe me, being my wife no one would dare to harm you.

When I'm about to reply, my cell phone rings, I see the ID and it's Dani, I turn to see Alexander and he says

Alexander - You can answer without problem, Doctor (I just nod).

Andrea - Dani?

Daniela - Friend, where are you? Are you still at your house? You have to leave now!

Andrea - Dani, calm down, what's wrong?

Daniela - What's wrong is that Carlos, the animal, is not as stupid as I thought, he had Nana watched, they realized when she left and they followed us, we just lost them, that's why we couldn't talk to you before, but friend, you have to leave now, no matter where, but by now your mother or the stupid Carlos already know that Nana is not at home.

Andrea - But God, are you all right? How is Nana?

Daniela - We're fine, friend, don't worry, go now, take the first plane but get out of the country now!

Andrea - Dani, I'm not at home, I'm still at the hospital.

Daniela - But what are you still doing there, friend? You were supposed to go home after signing the discharges, friend, being there you make it easier for them, tell me, do you have your travel documents with you?

Andrea - I got caught up talking to someone (I look at the Greek god and he's listening to what I'm saying) and yes, I have my documents with me.

Daniela - Then leave now, don't take anything with you, but get out of there now!

I hang up, I look at the Greek god and I want to tell him something while I take my things to leave but he cuts me off.

Alexander - I won't let you go alone, being with me I can guarantee you will be safe.

Andrea - I can't stay here, I'm sorry Alexander but I have to go now.

I walk past him but he holds my arm without pressure.

Alexander - Understand something, Doctor. I won't leave you alone, let alone let you go, you will always be my greatest treasure, let me help you, let's go get my brother and we'll get out of here, but you're leaving here with me, understood?

I can only nod and we leave the office straight to his brother's room, I just pray to God to get out of here in time to avoid running into my mother.
