Two hours had passed, and Kutichay had prepared dinner with so much love and dedication, eager to share it with everyone. The warmth of the home filled the air, blending with the spiced aroma of the freshly cooked dishes. However, when he noticed Camila’s absence, a subtle unease settled in his chest. He decided to go to her room.

The hallway was dim, lit only by the faint glow filtering in from the living room. Kutichay gently pushed the door open and found Camila asleep on the bed. Her face held an almost ethereal serenity, as if she were lost in a peaceful dream.

Tenderly, he approached and nudged her softly.

“Cami, love, wake up, it’s time for dinner,” he whispered.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAL7cgdT4Hzt
Silence answered him. A chill ran down his spine.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAjTdpLdD4G5
“Honey, don’t scare me. Wake up, please,” he insisted, his voice trembling.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdedf1HsLJq
He leaned in, and when he placed his fingers on her wrist, he felt a cold emptiness. There was no pulse. His breath hitched, and panic consumed him like a raging wave.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAdIuswnUkW7
“Guys, guys! Call an ambulance!” Kutichay shouted, his voice cracking with despair.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAEFiu3jBylU
His cries echoed through the house, shattering the night’s tranquility. Pablo Lorenzo was the first to arrive, his expression shifting from confusion to horror within seconds.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHIKybzlW1F
“What’s going on?” he asked, scanning the scene with a furrowed brow.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAHeE1VSJpSi
Valeria and Rosenda rushed into the room, anguish reflected in their eyes. Daniel wasted no time and pulled out his phone to call the hospital.

Time seemed to move with cruel slowness. Thirty minutes later, the wail of the ambulance pierced the night’s stillness. The paramedics entered quickly, taking Camila to the emergency room. In Pablo’s car, the group traveled in sepulchral silence, each trapped in their own thoughts, their fear pounding in their chests.

The hospital greeted them with cold lights and an atmosphere heavy with tension. They sat in the waiting room, listening to the murmur of doctors and the distant beeping of monitors. Two agonizing hours passed before the doctor came out with a somber expression.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA2NZWtPxEKa
“Family of Camila,” he called, his voice grave and measured.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAtjDCnnF3cI
Kutichay shot to his feet, his heart pounding in his ears.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQdhjTEo3aY
“How is she? Tell me she’s okay!” he cried desperately.
146Please respect copyright.PENANABtUNhveVSq
The doctor lowered his gaze before answering with sorrow:
146Please respect copyright.PENANATMHu2H72jw
“You must be strong. Unfortunately, your friend Camila has passed away. Cause of death: cardiac arrest.”
146Please respect copyright.PENANArospJuQQ1w
The silence that followed was deafening. It felt as if the entire world had stopped spinning.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAuwfwwW2P4h
“No… this can’t be happening. This is a joke, right?” murmured Kutichay, denial clouding his mind.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3H9z0i8BI
Daniel tried to hold him up as his legs gave out. Pablo Lorenzo collapsed to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably. Valeria held Rosenda, but the shock was too much for the latter and she fainted in her arms.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7lR8IntuRi
With his vision blurred by tears, Kutichay ran to where Camila’s body lay. The emergency room smelled of disinfectant, but to him, everything narrowed down to the motionless body on the stretcher.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAJN42jFUoLQ
“I love you. I’ll always love you. There will never be another woman, because you’re the only one,” he whispered, his voice broken by grief. He leaned down and kissed her lips one last time, feeling his world crumble.

From the shadows of a corner in the hospital, Jesus watched the scene with sadness. A tear slid down His cheek as He contemplated the deep suffering of His beloved ones.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA7361pCJrhK
Kutichay, Daniel, Pablo Lorenzo, and Rosenda returned home under a clouded sky, the gray clouds seeming to mirror their grief. The wind blew softly, as if the city itself mourned Camila’s loss.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAeb0gn030xz
“Bro, I’m really sorry. Camila was an amazing person,” Daniel said, his voice shaky and thick with sorrow.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAc5TBtxwEge
The house felt quieter than usual, as if it had absorbed the pain they carried. With a heavy heart, Kutichay retreated to his room and closed the door gently, letting the soft click mark the beginning of his solitude.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAjXmIOiEVSC
Inside, the atmosphere was somber. The closed curtains plunged the room into darkness, with only faint slivers of light seeping through, drawing pale lines across the floor. He let himself fall onto the bed, hugging his own body, seeking some comfort amid the emptiness.
146Please respect copyright.PENANA6VTYv3VDHV
Darkness enveloped him, dense and silent, while the pain clouded his mind. Kutichay loved Camila so deeply that imagining a life without her felt impossible. Images of her smiles and shared laughter blended with the present like luminous ghosts, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAMgIkvPmVK9
“I’m so sorry for not saving you,” he murmured, feeling despair drag him toward suicidal thoughts, like a dark river threatening to sweep him away.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAez1QUF10ZH
But in the midst of his torment, the blackness seemed to retreat. A familiar voice rang in his ears, clear and comforting, like a lighthouse in the fog:
146Please respect copyright.PENANAQTf1DEE6Lx
“Don’t cry, my son. Don’t make rash decisions. Don’t let the darkness take you like it did me. Think of Daniel and Rosenda—they need you. Let me help you forever,” whispered the voice of Sumaq, his father.
146Please respect copyright.PENANAfbN4nx4RFS
Kutichay felt the warm presence of his father, as if an invisible light surrounded him, guiding him away from the shadows. His crying gradually subsided, and little by little, he drifted into a deep sleep, where, for at least a moment, the pain faded like mist at dawn.
