Episode 2

I chatted a bit with Mrs. Aurora, and soon she started talking about her son.

"Renato was a cheerful and lively boy, but he suffered a motorcycle accident and the doctors say he may not wake up anymore. He seems to be sleeping; this has been going on for ten years. I had a completely trustworthy person who took care of him, but she retired and doesn't want to stay here anymore. She said it was very sad to see Renato in this condition, and you fell from the sky. I hope you like him and agree to take care of my boy. Let's go upstairs to meet him."

I followed her down the hallway to a door. There was a sink outside to wash hands and slippers to put on our feet. After completing the whole procedure, we entered. It looked like a hospital room, with all the necessary equipment in case it was needed, and in the middle of the room, a bed.

I got closer, and Mrs. Aurora took her son's hand and kissed it.

"Isabela, this is Renato; he is my treasure. I hope you two get along." I approached, and there he was, a man of 1.80 meters tall, black hair, fair skin. He must have been very handsome before the accident; now he is a little debilitated from being bedridden for so long, but still handsome. I greeted him.

"Hi, Renato, I'm talking to your mother, and I believe I'll be taking care of you for a while, until you can get out of this bed and manage on your own."

When I looked at Mrs. Aurora, she had tears in her eyes and told me,

"We will sort out the details, but as far as I'm concerned, you are already hired. He needs attention day and night. You will have to live here in the mansion. There is a girl who comes to help you so you can leave the room and not leave him alone, but she doesn't understand anything, she just sits while you come and go."

"I understand. And where will I sleep?"

"Here, next door, is a connecting room, and you will stay there. But there is a mobile bed that you can bring here next to him in case you find it necessary."

"And when do I start?"

"How about now?"

"I need to go home, get my clothes, and let my neighbor know to take care of my cat. I'll go now and sort all these things out and be back for dinner, agreed?"

"Agreed, see? Son, I've already found someone to stay here with you. I swore I wouldn't abandon you, and I won't. I love you."

"Isabela."

I left the mansion feeling a bit dazed; now I have a job and will live in the mansion. I didn't quite understand why he hadn't woken up yet, but I'll find out in time. I felt sorry to see Mrs. Aurora's suffering; no mother should go through that. I went home, packed some clothes, asked my neighbor to look after my cat, and went back to the mansion. Let's take care of Mrs. Aurora's boy.

We will start a new cycle, and God willing, I will get that young man out of bed. I need to talk to the doctors about why he is still sleeping.
