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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADFk6Im9rys
Silence answered him. A chill ran down his spine.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAT8J0XCY9T1
“Honey, don’t scare me. Wake up, please,” he insisted, his voice trembling.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAxoMTsZH071
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.

“Guys, guys! Call an ambulance!” Kutichay shouted, his voice cracking with despair.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAm38LPuObeO
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.

“What’s going on?” he asked, scanning the scene with a furrowed brow.

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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAOfZ2S6R1Tr
“Family of Camila,” he called, his voice grave and measured.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAeRy65b78r4
Kutichay shot to his feet, his heart pounding in his ears.
170Please respect copyright.PENANALofdkGLaln
“How is she? Tell me she’s okay!” he cried desperately.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAqqZgJ1oRLr
The doctor lowered his gaze before answering with sorrow:
170Please respect copyright.PENANATybwYISyfz
“You must be strong. Unfortunately, your friend Camila has passed away. Cause of death: cardiac arrest.”
170Please respect copyright.PENANAj6XhHNb1iI
The silence that followed was deafening. It felt as if the entire world had stopped spinning.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAapxTOHGV3x
“No… this can’t be happening. This is a joke, right?” murmured Kutichay, denial clouding his mind.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAz2tighAjY
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.

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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA3pg1fULZEV
“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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANADz4G9DH5dO
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAaWxBLOj2Tz
“Bro, I’m really sorry. Camila was an amazing person,” Daniel said, his voice shaky and thick with sorrow.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAAzIGgYwha6
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANABi5fdF0q6p
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAf5uPaFKujN
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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAolw6VZAl9Y
“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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANAuzO5NdJzcw
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:
170Please respect copyright.PENANAo3l5UDjP2N
“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.
170Please respect copyright.PENANA1sY0evimQL
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.
