Bella (2010)
“How does one watch her child leave this earth before his death, exchanging his life and vitality for sorrow and penance?
She watched her son Eduardo in the kitchen and remembered when this one, José, the one who opened her womb, ran around their home in Mexico, shouting at the top of his lungs and singing all the time. José alone would come sit beside her and tell her he loved her without her having to say it first. José knew when she was upset about something. He had always lain down on the be...d next to her, saying little, just lending his presence.
Was it any wonder he’d befriended this pregnant girl, Nina? Maria could picture the day they’d had together so far. Small conversations hanging along a cord of silence. José felt comfortable in silence, even in the happy days. But this Nina? What would she think of her son, so quiet, so sober? Maria would have given anything to see José like he used to be.
She fingered the gold bracelet surrounding her wrist, a gift from him after signing his very first professional contract with Club Madrid.MoreLess
