1
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.320
I met the one who is now
my husband at a party my friend Andrea
2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.240
had. When we got married,
we didn' t have a house of
3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.839
our own, so we were looking
for a rent. It was when Ruben
4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:22.679
and I realized how complicated it was
to get a place to live that the
5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:27.280
search began in May. That'
s when we realized how complicated it was
6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:32.039
to get it, and it wasn' t that there wasn' t,
7
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.280
but that they were either out of
our economic reach. Or they were so
8
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.880
far away, it would take us
more than an hour and a half to
9
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000
move from one place to another.
Andrea was the one who told me there
10
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:47.119
was one near where she lived.
The area where he had his house was
11
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.840
very nice, because, apart from
being large houses, there was a very
12
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.759
large park around. I told her
that I would love to live near her,
13
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.240
but I thought I didn' t
have the budget to rent a home
14
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.680
in that residential area. What my
friend told me seemed convincing. I didn
15
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.680
' t lose anything to ask the
rent price. At that moment I dialed
16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.799
a somewhat snoring voice on the phone. He answered me. I asked him
17
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.560
for the necessary information. When the
woman on the other side of the phone
18
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.120
gave me the rent price of the
house I couldn' t believe it.
19
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:30.079
I asked him again if he had
misheard. The woman told me she was
20
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.640
right. I was attentive to the
explanations the old lady was telling me.
21
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.120
He assumed that he was an older
adult because of the tone of his voice
22
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.760
and the difficulty he had in speaking. He explained to me that the rent
23
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.760
was accessible because there was an important
clause regarding the house. As she lived
24
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.280
alone and the house was very large. It had been divided into two parts.
25
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.439
He did it with rock board material
on the inside. The garden at
26
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.239
the bottom of the house was the
only area that was shared, but I
27
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.599
could choose not to use it or
make a division with maya. I didn
28
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.840
' t doubt it. I made
an appointment with the lady to see her
29
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.800
if possible. That same afternoon was
not feasible because other people had left to
30
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:21.039
go that day, but I could
come the next day. Without hesitation.
31
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.120
I made an appointment with her at
eight o' clock tonight. Both my
32
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.360
friend and I were excited about the
idea of living nearby in the background.
33
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.520
I thought I wasn' t going
to be available that day Several people were
34
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:39.800
going to see her. I preferred
not to have so many illusions the next
35
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.240
day Ruben accompanied me to see the
house, which was just in front of
36
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.439
the park and had a garage for
two cars. We ring the bell.
37
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.520
For several occasions, no one was
going to open us up We were already
38
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.520
about to retire. When we heard
the front door opened, a woman about
39
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.039
seventy years old came out. He
dragged one of his feet, so he
40
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:07.360
walked with great difficulty. It was
not noticeable that he was a very expressive
41
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:14.400
or kind person, as he merely
extended his arm by giving us the indication
42
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.919
that we would pass. The entrance
door was the same for the two houses.
43
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.879
Upon entering there was a sort of
corridor that made the divisions towards one
44
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.919
house and the other. We were
prepared with official documents. Apparently, to
45
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.759
the people who went before. They
didn' t like to live very closely
46
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.639
with the owner We were able to
rent it. The lady asked us to
47
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.400
get along with her lawyer and the
next weekend we started packing all our belongings.
48
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.960
One Saturday in June was our first
day in that house. I thought
49
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:58.759
it was normal to hear noises during
the night, mainly because I wasn'
50
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.680
t used to them. It was
going to be three o' clock in
51
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.039
the morning. The digital clock,
with its white light, made me feel
52
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:10.800
like time was going on very slowly. I heard a few steps that approached
53
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.160
our bedroom. She owned the house. I knew it because one of her
54
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:21.879
legs dragged her as she walked and, as there was a lot of silence,
55
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.240
any sound was perceptible through the rock
board wall. The lady' s
56
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:31.480
walk I heard for a few seconds. Then everything was quiet. I got
57
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.680
up to look out the window.
I crossed the curtain and saw that the
58
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:43.040
moon was in its full phase,
which made it a little light. Perhaps
59
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:48.639
in a completely dark room, that
dim light would serve to quiet the night
60
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:55.079
terrors. Otherwise it happened with the
park, as it was abundant in vegetation
61
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.680
and very extensive. The moonlight only
gave a gloomy tone to the place,
62
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.279
as it began to make a little
wind as a sign that it was raining
63
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:10.720
somewhere else in the city. The
trees were moving. The memory I had
64
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.839
of the park was completely different at
night. I didn' t imagine being
65
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.439
inside at that time because there was
no soul around the place. With insomnia
66
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.959
I stayed a while in the window
watching the park. Again, the noises
67
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.040
inside the house were heard. It
seemed she wasn' t the only one
68
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.319
who couldn' t sleep, because
the lady was still walking all over her
69
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:40.480
house. I thought that during the
day the sound of the leg would be
70
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.800
imperceptible, but at the time of
silence everything was possible to hear almost at
71
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.040
dawn. I went to sleep in
my bed. Ruben slept deeply. He
72
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.720
didn' t even realize that I
was awake most of the night at the
73
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.480
office at the time we went down
to the dining room service to receive the
74
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.000
wish for breakfast. From the first
moment I entered the area, I felt
75
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:08.920
nauseous I could not stay in the
place. I had to go to the
76
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.879
bathroom to be able to throw up. Andrea went after me. She assumed
77
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.720
something had hurt me, but I
was sure she wouldn' t, because
78
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:23.519
I didn' t eat anything on
the street and tried to be very careful
79
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.959
with my food. That day I
didn' t feel good anymore. I
80
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.480
thought it might be something transitory and
that later I would feel better, but
81
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.600
it didn' t happen that way. Nausea and vomiting didn' t happen,
82
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.160
so I had to go to the
company doctor. As soon as the
83
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.399
doctor saw me, he asked me
to give him my last menstruation date.
84
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.680
It was up to that moment that
I was aware that I did not know
85
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:54.279
when it had happened. He asked
me more questions, all aimed at a
86
00:06:54.399 --> 00:07:00.160
possible pregnancy. He saw it as
an unlikely situation, as he had had
87
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.199
the necessary care. The doctor took
blood from me to get out of doubt.
88
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.439
I got a little confused out of
the doctor' s office, especially
89
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.439
because I wasn' t among my
plans to have a child, at least
90
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.279
at the time. Later, the
doctor sent for me. There was no
91
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.439
doubt about it. She was pregnant. Andrea saw me bewildered. I told
92
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.639
her what was happening to me she
immediately became happy telling me she would be
93
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.399
my son' s godmother, but
I was still confused. As soon as
94
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.240
I saw Reuben, I told him
about my situation. He took it by
95
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.519
surprise, too. That afternoon,
within minutes of arriving from work, I
96
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.639
heard that they knocked on the door. She was the landlady who took me
97
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.639
in a glass jar, a combination
of mixed seeds. She told me she
98
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:58.000
personally did. I was looking for
the best seeds and then doing the mixture.
99
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.439
It was a rich food and it
gives nutrients and because of the state
100
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.720
in which I was in, it
was necessary to feed me very well.
101
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.800
I immediately asked him how he knew
if I had only learned that day that
102
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.720
I was pregnant. She smiled saying
that she did not need to be told,
103
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.439
as she had noticed it in my
eyes and in the way she walked.
104
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:28.040
I can' t deny that I
was puzzled by your comment because even
105
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.839
I didn' t have the slightest
idea of what was happening to me.
106
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.000
I didn' t understand how that
woman just seeing me could realize my situation.
107
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.399
From that day on, the lady
seemed to spy on me as soon
108
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.080
as she saw me coming from work, she took me a bowl of food
109
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.960
with fruit or vegetables. I was
really upset that he took so much trouble.
110
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.960
I wasn' t exactly a relative
and I didn' t have to
111
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:56.600
take care of my health. She
kept doing it until one day I saw
112
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.000
her digging into my trash in n
n n n n n. La.
113
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.799
The food he gave me was when
he stopped giving me the gifts. After
114
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.799
time. One afternoon I was walking
around the place, I ran into a
115
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.960
scruffy, hungry dog. He'
s been following me the whole time.
116
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.679
I gave him a piece of bread
because I saw him desperate to eat.
117
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.000
He didn' t stop following me
anymore. When I went to the house,
118
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.240
he stayed outside. She slept around
waiting to see me again. By
119
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:31.080
those dates, my pregnancy was already
well advanced. When Reuben arrived, he
120
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.120
immediately noticed the animal outside the house. I told him what happened because of
121
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.480
the way it looked, he didn' t seem to have a home,
122
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.159
Ruben. Like me, I was
an animal lover, but I thought it
123
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.759
was not convenient to have a dog
when I was about to give birth.
124
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.519
The dog stayed all night and the
following days on the sidewalk. I left
125
00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.799
him some food before I left for
work. When he came back there,
126
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.799
he was waiting for me, when
the lady came out, the animal grunted
127
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.080
at him and walked away. That
night rained how it had not happened in
128
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.440
many days. The wind was so
strong that it could not see almost outwards.
129
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.039
Besides, the rain fell hard.
When I snuck into the window,
130
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.480
I could see the dog getting wet. I felt compassion for him. I
131
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.720
told Rubén to put the dog in. I couldn' t be out in
132
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.480
the open with that weather. He
went out when he came in with the
133
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.600
dog. They were both soaked in
water. Rubén took a bath and bathed
134
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.360
the dog as well so that,
while he was in the house, he
135
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.240
would not leave his germs. Everywhere, I put a blanket on the floor
136
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.120
near the door facing the courtyard.
He slept very docile. In that place.
137
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:56.600
We went to sleep. The storm
took a while to calm down,
138
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.320
suddenly some barking woke me up abruptly. It was the pee that barked nonstop.
139
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.039
I came down to see what was
going on. When he saw me,
140
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.919
he began to growl as he looked
toward the courtyard. He was very
141
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.639
upset. I just noticed that someone
was jumping off the back wall of the
142
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:20.799
garden and leaving quickly. The previous
nights were difficult, I already had the
143
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.360
incapacity on the part of the company. He slept very little. I would
144
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.679
get up in the morning to walk
and make my baby feel good. Milo,
145
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.120
my dog was with me all the
time. Being awake made me realize
146
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.039
everything that happened next to the house
with the landlady. She, like me,
147
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.360
didn' t sleep and as I
had already said, I realized she
148
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.879
was walking all over the house because
she listened to her leg. Dragging was
149
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.639
something that made me very anxious to
hear her walk very close to where I
150
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.440
was. It seemed as if he
realized that and wanted to hear what he
151
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.799
was doing. Milo also sensed it
because when the lady was on the other
152
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.960
side of the house. He was
grunting. That was the most obvious proof
153
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.759
that I wasn' t wrong.
What I didn' t know was what
154
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:18.440
I was doing up at those hours. It seemed like every night she was
155
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.279
hanging out. The landlady would often
go out in the backyard, I could
156
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.159
tell because Milo was going there to
grunt. He no longer barked because I
157
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.480
forbade him, but he did show
that he perceived something that put us at
158
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.519
risk. On that occasion I approached
the door cautiously as it was from Cristal.
159
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.320
He had a cloth curtain. I
scoured her a little so the landlady
160
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.399
wouldn' t notice my presence.
She was walking fast. Throughout the garden
161
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:54.480
he had his gray hair loose,
which did not allow me to see his
162
00:12:54.039 --> 00:13:00.919
face until at one point he turned
directly to where I was. Maybe he
163
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.840
did it because my dog started grunting
harder and got restless, causing the curtains
164
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:11.080
to move. I could not see
him very clearly in the face, but
165
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.240
I could swear that his nose was
elongated with large and dark eyes, as
166
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.440
well as a large mouth. It
couldn' t be possible for that woman
167
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.279
to have the face of a owl. When she realized that there was someone
168
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.759
on the other side of the door, she moved on to where I was.
169
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.519
I got out of there right away, pushing me towards the wall.
170
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.720
I was the one who couldn'
t hold back and started barking. I
171
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.279
didn' t know if I got
confused, but I was almost sure I
172
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.519
heard a flutter At that time the
dog stopped making scandal I never knew if
173
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.679
from the impression received I started to
have contractions that warned the arrival of my
174
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:58.360
baby. Or it was simply time
to give birth, but each contraction began
175
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.519
to become more frequent as if Milo
realized what was happening, he began to
176
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:09.799
bark desperate. At that point,
the fountain broke. Ruben came down in
177
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:15.360
a hurry to the fuss our pet
made. He immediately took me to the
178
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.639
hospital. Soon after my baby was
born, I felt very tired. I
179
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.240
couldn' t sleep. It had
been a lot of emotions together, but
180
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.559
there was a time when the dream
overcame me. I saw a woman reach
181
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.440
the threshold of the door in the
room I was in. I tried to
182
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.559
wake Reuben, but he never reacted. When I spoke to him, I
183
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.639
thought if I had been with him, that wouldn' t have happened.
184
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:48.840
That woman stayed for a few minutes. It looked like he was looking for
185
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:50.759
something and when he didn' t
find it, he left. I never
186
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.279
knew if what I remember was the
product of a dream or reality, because
187
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.720
I asked the nurse if it was
possible for anyone to enter the hospital in
188
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.879
the morning. She replied that visits
were only allowed during the day. At
189
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.039
night, a relative with the patient
stayed to sleep. No one else could
190
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.639
come in. In addition, the
maternity floor was carefully guarded by a policeman,
191
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:24.960
precisely to protect the young newborns and
prevent any theft of infants. I
192
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:30.279
tried to be calm, but I
couldn' t get it in the morning,
193
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.919
the doctor came to check me out, as my delivery had been natural
194
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.080
half discharge. Soon I could go
home from midnight, as both my baby
195
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:46.879
and I were in perfect condition.
At noon we left Rubén Hospital, my
196
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.320
little boy and I went in the
car to the house. The moment we
197
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.080
arrived, I was surprised to see
a young woman at the house of the
198
00:15:54.159 --> 00:16:00.679
landlady. She looked a lot like
the lady I thought it was about her
199
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.480
daughter or some other family member.
As soon as she saw us, she
200
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:10.120
was very happy. She greeted me
as if she had already met me for
201
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.559
education I greeted her I did not
know who it was. I said goodbye
202
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:18.320
to her quickly and went into the
house. Rubén was the one who told
203
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.879
me that he had been very rude, because that woman wanted to see the
204
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.960
baby and because of the speed with
which I got involved it was not possible
205
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:29.759
to do it. I didn'
t want to go into details or discuss
206
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.200
with Reuben what I had seen.
I just shrugged my shoulders and forgot about
207
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.200
the incident. The first nights with
my baby at home were nothing simple.
208
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:41.799
She cried most of the time because
she still didn' t have milk.
209
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.960
As much as she tried to breastfeed
him, milk did not come down,
210
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.639
so she cried of hunger. Ruben
was the first to despair at that time
211
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.639
of dawn. He went out looking
for canned milk. I went down to
212
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.600
the living room to wait for Ruben
to arrive. I fell asleep for a
213
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.079
moment with my son in my arms. I was so tired, but I
214
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:11.240
woke up from the barking of my
thread this time I was more upset because
215
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.559
I was jumping at the same time
I was barking at the back door.
216
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.279
When I opened the curtain, I
looked at a woman with an owl face
217
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.200
stuck very close to the glass.
I wasn' t wrong this time.
218
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:26.559
It was true. She started hitting
the glass so hard that I thought she
219
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.200
was going to break it any minute. A few seconds later he stopped making
220
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.480
noise. I looked very carefully again, but that monster was gone. I
221
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.000
only managed to distinguish a flapping.
When Reuben opened the door, I was
222
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.400
so scared. I thought it was
that horrible thing I' d seen again,
223
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:52.480
as if the dog also wanted to
tell Rubén ran away. When he
224
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:57.519
saw it, he barked desperate.
It seemed that the animal also wanted to
225
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:03.119
convey its fear and concern. Ruben
asked what was going on. I explained
226
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.160
to him what I had seen.
He went out to look into the yard.
227
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.960
Of course, he didn' t
find anything anymore. He tried to
228
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.000
calm me down, while telling me
that tiredness caused me to see strange things.
229
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.839
I needed to rest. He took
the baby out of my arms and
230
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:26.200
took me to the room to sleep. By that time, I wasn'
231
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.519
t even sleepy anymore. I'
d freaked him out as much as I
232
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.039
thought. I couldn' t understand
what I saw I heard the footsteps of
233
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.599
Reuben going up with my little boy. He had already fallen asleep, so
234
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.480
we tried to rest for a while, because Ruben had to work. The
235
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:48.319
next day I was attentive to any
sound I could even hear from the house
236
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:53.640
next door, Ruben and the Baby
were sleeping quietly When I heard things fall
237
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.799
on the other side of the rockboard
wall it seemed as if someone was fanning
238
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.119
or objects On purpose immediately. I
thought I' d ask the landlady if
239
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.200
she was all right, but everything
was quiet. Before I went to bed,
240
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.119
I looked out the window. I
felt restless because I knew there was
241
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.720
something out there and I didn'
t know what it could be. I
242
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.799
saw someone running fast in the park. Then he would rise and fly was
243
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.440
the same thing he had seen in
the courtyard. I stayed at the window
244
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:33.039
longer, but I couldn' t
see anything anymore. The next day,
245
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.400
Rubén told me about the office to
tell me that he would stay in the
246
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:42.039
company for longer. There were several
problems I had to solve, so I
247
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.680
wouldn' t get home early.
I was a little quieter during the day.
248
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.200
I wanted to talk to the landlady
to ask her if she had also
249
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.880
seen a strange being in the yard. Ass, I went to his house.
250
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.640
I' ve been playing for a
while, but no one attended.
251
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.039
My mother was already on her way
back. When the landlady opened the door
252
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.279
without leaving her house, she told
me she could come in. It was
253
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.400
the first time he had entered his
home. As soon as I walked in,
254
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.119
I noticed a strange smell. Besides, the landlady was showing very little.
255
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:21.960
I just noticed that it was harder
for him to walk while he was
256
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.279
going to sit in the dining room, he offered me a chair. It
257
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:30.359
was when I could see her more
closely that she looked as if she was
258
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.079
more pale and even older. I
asked her if she needed to be taken
259
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.400
to the doctor or to talk to
a family member. At that moment.
260
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.319
I remembered the young woman I saw
when I arrived from the hospital. I
261
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:48.240
asked her about it, but the
landlady ignored my question. I decided not
262
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.640
to bother her anymore. I left
for the exit, but the landlady wanted
263
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.000
me to show my little one.
When I did, I noticed a strange
264
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:02.200
glow in his eyes. I quickly
got out of there because I had a
265
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.640
bad feeling. As soon as I
got home. I spoke on the phone
266
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.920
to my friend Andrea. I told
her everything that was going on around the
267
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.880
landlady and she was afraid. I
was quiet. I didn' t know
268
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.319
what name to give to the creature
I saw in the yard. Andrea noticed
269
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.039
my desperation. He told me that
as soon as he got out of work,
270
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.480
he was going to my house.
The rest of the day I had
271
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.119
a really bad time. I was
scared. I didn' t know I
272
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:34.400
was restless most of the time.
I looked out into the courtyard of the
273
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.680
park and tried to hear anything that
came from the neighbor' s house,
274
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:45.039
but everything seemed to be paranoia,
because I was calm. Sleeping in the
275
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.559
afternoon. Andrea came in and needed
to talk to someone and she was the
276
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.680
right person. I told him everything
that was going on and about the woman
277
00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:00.680
with the owl face. He asked
me to calm down. It was normal
278
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.480
for me to feel that way,
especially because it was my first pregnancy and
279
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.799
being alone with a crying baby all
the time. Tiredness and nerves wreaked havoc
280
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.599
on sanity, but the weekend she
was going to help me get some rest.
281
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.680
I insisted with my friend when I
commented that I noticed something very strange
282
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.279
in the landlady. She didn'
t let me finish, she took my
283
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.640
baby in her arms and sent me
to rest, contrary to what I expected.
284
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:36.240
I fell deeply asleep. When I
woke up, it had already darkened,
285
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.240
I got up immediately and went down
to the living room. There was
286
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.960
Andrea with my baby and I threw
him on the floor next to her.
287
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:47.440
As soon as my friend saw me, she left my baby asleep on the
288
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:53.480
couch and left, as she also
had family commitments. I felt different rested.
289
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:59.039
I thought maybe Ruben and Andrea were
right. It was going to be
290
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:03.000
nine o' clock at night and
I felt really good, I started to
291
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.319
fix the house a little bit and
then watch TV. I had many days
292
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.799
that I didn' t. It
was the first time I felt calm and
293
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:15.400
comfortable in that house. I'
ve been watching an interesting movie. I
294
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.599
was already going to go to my
bedroom when Milo got restless again, barked
295
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:25.640
and grunted. At the same time
I heard a strange whistle. I snuck
296
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:30.720
into the Crystal door in the yard. There she was and I say she
297
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.920
because she was the same woman with
her bird face on this occasion she lifted
298
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:41.440
her big wings opened her mouth in
a disturbing way with her big beak she
299
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:42.799
started knocking on Crystal' s door. I didn' t even bark.
300
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.519
More and more I hugged my little
boy to go out on the street.
301
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.000
I didn' t even think what
I was doing. I got scared with
302
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.400
my baby in my arms. I
was looking for someone who could help me.
303
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.240
He didn' t even go after
me. I was crazy screaming for
304
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:02.119
help, but nobody came out to
help me. Suddenly across the street,
305
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:04.519
that monster fell. He came up
to take my son away from me.
306
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.279
I had a struggle with her to
such an extent that I stung her eye.
307
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.519
He paused for a moment, but
immediately he fell upon us. She
308
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.839
was about to take my baby when
maylo bit her a horrible scream. It
309
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.200
was heard all over the place with
the dog on top of her left us
310
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:29.359
alone. I couldn' t do
anything for my dog anymore, because that
311
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.880
being started hurting him. I took
advantage of the time to run. I
312
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.559
didn' t understand how it happened, but Andrea was running to meet me.
313
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:42.319
He got me in his car and
we went home. As soon as
314
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:47.079
we walked into my friend' s
house, she put it on my baby
315
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:48.839
' s forehead and on all the
parts of my baby' s body.
316
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:53.279
Blessed water made him the sign of
the cross. In the distance we heard
317
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.960
a whistle. She was that woman
who was looking for my baby. I
318
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.920
knew it because Andrea told me.
He talked to his mother about what he
319
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.279
had told him. Her mom lived
with her. She was the one who
320
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.200
told him it was about the chorca. She was a witch who stole the
321
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:18.039
blood from unbaptized babies. That was
the way he managed to live and stay
322
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.359
young. If he didn' t, he was losing his beauty, his
323
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.039
youth, as well as his life. She had the ability to smell a
324
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:32.400
baby from a distance, even if
she was inside the belly. All my
325
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:37.960
thoughts swirled in my mind. She
knew from the beginning when I went to
326
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:42.559
rent the house. That' s
why he gave us so many facilities and
327
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:47.559
preferred to rent the house to us
that night or the next few days.
328
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:49.559
I went back to the house.
I went to my parents' house,
329
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:55.839
where we found a place to live. The sad thing was that I lost
330
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.480
Milo when we went for our things
to the place we found him already closed
331
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.480
without life. He lost his life
to help me. I' ll always
332
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:11.440
keep that in mind. I'
ll definitely miss him very much. Story

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.320
I met the one who is now
my husband at a party my friend Andrea
2
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.240
had. When we got married,
we didn' t have a house of
3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.839
our own, so we were looking
for a rent. It was when Ruben
4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:22.679
and I realized how complicated it was
to get a place to live that the
5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:27.280
search began in May. That'
s when we realized how complicated it was
6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:32.039
to get it, and it wasn' t that there wasn' t,
7
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.280
but that they were either out of
our economic reach. Or they were so
8
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:39.880
far away, it would take us
more than an hour and a half to
9
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000
move from one place to another.
Andrea was the one who told me there
10
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:47.119
was one near where she lived.
The area where he had his house was
11
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.840
very nice, because, apart from
being large houses, there was a very
12
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.759
large park around. I told her
that I would love to live near her,
13
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.240
but I thought I didn' t
have the budget to rent a home
14
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.680
in that residential area. What my
friend told me seemed convincing. I didn
15
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.680
' t lose anything to ask the
rent price. At that moment I dialed
16
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:15.799
a somewhat snoring voice on the phone. He answered me. I asked him
17
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.560
for the necessary information. When the
woman on the other side of the phone
18
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.120
gave me the rent price of the
house I couldn' t believe it.
19
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:30.079
I asked him again if he had
misheard. The woman told me she was
20
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.640
right. I was attentive to the
explanations the old lady was telling me.
21
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:40.120
He assumed that he was an older
adult because of the tone of his voice
22
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.760
and the difficulty he had in speaking. He explained to me that the rent
23
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.760
was accessible because there was an important
clause regarding the house. As she lived
24
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.280
alone and the house was very large. It had been divided into two parts.
25
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:57.439
He did it with rock board material
on the inside. The garden at
26
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:02.239
the bottom of the house was the
only area that was shared, but I
27
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:07.599
could choose not to use it or
make a division with maya. I didn
28
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:09.840
' t doubt it. I made
an appointment with the lady to see her
29
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:15.800
if possible. That same afternoon was
not feasible because other people had left to
30
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:21.039
go that day, but I could
come the next day. Without hesitation.
31
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.120
I made an appointment with her at
eight o' clock tonight. Both my
32
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.360
friend and I were excited about the
idea of living nearby in the background.
33
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:34.520
I thought I wasn' t going
to be available that day Several people were
34
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:39.800
going to see her. I preferred
not to have so many illusions the next
35
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.240
day Ruben accompanied me to see the
house, which was just in front of
36
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.439
the park and had a garage for
two cars. We ring the bell.
37
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.520
For several occasions, no one was
going to open us up We were already
38
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.520
about to retire. When we heard
the front door opened, a woman about
39
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.039
seventy years old came out. He
dragged one of his feet, so he
40
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:07.360
walked with great difficulty. It was
not noticeable that he was a very expressive
41
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:14.400
or kind person, as he merely
extended his arm by giving us the indication
42
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.919
that we would pass. The entrance
door was the same for the two houses.
43
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.879
Upon entering there was a sort of
corridor that made the divisions towards one
44
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.919
house and the other. We were
prepared with official documents. Apparently, to
45
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:34.759
the people who went before. They
didn' t like to live very closely
46
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.639
with the owner We were able to
rent it. The lady asked us to
47
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.400
get along with her lawyer and the
next weekend we started packing all our belongings.
48
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.960
One Saturday in June was our first
day in that house. I thought
49
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:58.759
it was normal to hear noises during
the night, mainly because I wasn'
50
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:00.680
t used to them. It was
going to be three o' clock in
51
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.039
the morning. The digital clock,
with its white light, made me feel
52
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:10.800
like time was going on very slowly. I heard a few steps that approached
53
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:16.160
our bedroom. She owned the house. I knew it because one of her
54
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:21.879
legs dragged her as she walked and, as there was a lot of silence,
55
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.240
any sound was perceptible through the rock
board wall. The lady' s
56
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:31.480
walk I heard for a few seconds. Then everything was quiet. I got
57
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:35.680
up to look out the window.
I crossed the curtain and saw that the
58
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:43.040
moon was in its full phase,
which made it a little light. Perhaps
59
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:48.639
in a completely dark room, that
dim light would serve to quiet the night
60
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:55.079
terrors. Otherwise it happened with the
park, as it was abundant in vegetation
61
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.680
and very extensive. The moonlight only
gave a gloomy tone to the place,
62
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.279
as it began to make a little
wind as a sign that it was raining
63
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:10.720
somewhere else in the city. The
trees were moving. The memory I had
64
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.839
of the park was completely different at
night. I didn' t imagine being
65
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.439
inside at that time because there was
no soul around the place. With insomnia
66
00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.959
I stayed a while in the window
watching the park. Again, the noises
67
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.040
inside the house were heard. It
seemed she wasn' t the only one
68
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.319
who couldn' t sleep, because
the lady was still walking all over her
69
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:40.480
house. I thought that during the
day the sound of the leg would be
70
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:46.800
imperceptible, but at the time of
silence everything was possible to hear almost at
71
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.040
dawn. I went to sleep in
my bed. Ruben slept deeply. He
72
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:55.720
didn' t even realize that I
was awake most of the night at the
73
00:05:55.839 --> 00:06:00.480
office at the time we went down
to the dining room service to receive the
74
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.000
wish for breakfast. From the first
moment I entered the area, I felt
75
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:08.920
nauseous I could not stay in the
place. I had to go to the
76
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:13.879
bathroom to be able to throw up. Andrea went after me. She assumed
77
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.720
something had hurt me, but I
was sure she wouldn' t, because
78
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:23.519
I didn' t eat anything on
the street and tried to be very careful
79
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.959
with my food. That day I
didn' t feel good anymore. I
80
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.480
thought it might be something transitory and
that later I would feel better, but
81
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.600
it didn' t happen that way. Nausea and vomiting didn' t happen,
82
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:42.160
so I had to go to the
company doctor. As soon as the
83
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.399
doctor saw me, he asked me
to give him my last menstruation date.
84
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.680
It was up to that moment that
I was aware that I did not know
85
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:54.279
when it had happened. He asked
me more questions, all aimed at a
86
00:06:54.399 --> 00:07:00.160
possible pregnancy. He saw it as
an unlikely situation, as he had had
87
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.199
the necessary care. The doctor took
blood from me to get out of doubt.
88
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:10.439
I got a little confused out of
the doctor' s office, especially
89
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.439
because I wasn' t among my
plans to have a child, at least
90
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:17.279
at the time. Later, the
doctor sent for me. There was no
91
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:23.439
doubt about it. She was pregnant. Andrea saw me bewildered. I told
92
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:28.639
her what was happening to me she
immediately became happy telling me she would be
93
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:31.399
my son' s godmother, but
I was still confused. As soon as
94
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:35.240
I saw Reuben, I told him
about my situation. He took it by
95
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:41.519
surprise, too. That afternoon,
within minutes of arriving from work, I
96
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:46.639
heard that they knocked on the door. She was the landlady who took me
97
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.639
in a glass jar, a combination
of mixed seeds. She told me she
98
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:58.000
personally did. I was looking for
the best seeds and then doing the mixture.
99
00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:01.439
It was a rich food and it
gives nutrients and because of the state
100
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:05.720
in which I was in, it
was necessary to feed me very well.
101
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:11.800
I immediately asked him how he knew
if I had only learned that day that
102
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:16.720
I was pregnant. She smiled saying
that she did not need to be told,
103
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.439
as she had noticed it in my
eyes and in the way she walked.
104
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:28.040
I can' t deny that I
was puzzled by your comment because even
105
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.839
I didn' t have the slightest
idea of what was happening to me.
106
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.000
I didn' t understand how that
woman just seeing me could realize my situation.
107
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.399
From that day on, the lady
seemed to spy on me as soon
108
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.080
as she saw me coming from work, she took me a bowl of food
109
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.960
with fruit or vegetables. I was
really upset that he took so much trouble.
110
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.960
I wasn' t exactly a relative
and I didn' t have to
111
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:56.600
take care of my health. She
kept doing it until one day I saw
112
00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.000
her digging into my trash in n
n n n n n. La.
113
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.799
The food he gave me was when
he stopped giving me the gifts. After
114
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.799
time. One afternoon I was walking
around the place, I ran into a
115
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:13.960
scruffy, hungry dog. He'
s been following me the whole time.
116
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.679
I gave him a piece of bread
because I saw him desperate to eat.
117
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.000
He didn' t stop following me
anymore. When I went to the house,
118
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.240
he stayed outside. She slept around
waiting to see me again. By
119
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:31.080
those dates, my pregnancy was already
well advanced. When Reuben arrived, he
120
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.120
immediately noticed the animal outside the house. I told him what happened because of
121
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.480
the way it looked, he didn' t seem to have a home,
122
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:43.159
Ruben. Like me, I was
an animal lover, but I thought it
123
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:48.759
was not convenient to have a dog
when I was about to give birth.
124
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.519
The dog stayed all night and the
following days on the sidewalk. I left
125
00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:00.799
him some food before I left for
work. When he came back there,
126
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.799
he was waiting for me, when
the lady came out, the animal grunted
127
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.080
at him and walked away. That
night rained how it had not happened in
128
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.440
many days. The wind was so
strong that it could not see almost outwards.
129
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:18.039
Besides, the rain fell hard.
When I snuck into the window,
130
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:22.480
I could see the dog getting wet. I felt compassion for him. I
131
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.720
told Rubén to put the dog in. I couldn' t be out in
132
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.480
the open with that weather. He
went out when he came in with the
133
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.600
dog. They were both soaked in
water. Rubén took a bath and bathed
134
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.360
the dog as well so that,
while he was in the house, he
135
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:45.240
would not leave his germs. Everywhere, I put a blanket on the floor
136
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:50.120
near the door facing the courtyard.
He slept very docile. In that place.
137
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:56.600
We went to sleep. The storm
took a while to calm down,
138
00:10:56.279 --> 00:11:01.320
suddenly some barking woke me up abruptly. It was the pee that barked nonstop.
139
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.039
I came down to see what was
going on. When he saw me,
140
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.919
he began to growl as he looked
toward the courtyard. He was very
141
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:13.639
upset. I just noticed that someone
was jumping off the back wall of the
142
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:20.799
garden and leaving quickly. The previous
nights were difficult, I already had the
143
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.360
incapacity on the part of the company. He slept very little. I would
144
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.679
get up in the morning to walk
and make my baby feel good. Milo,
145
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.120
my dog was with me all the
time. Being awake made me realize
146
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.039
everything that happened next to the house
with the landlady. She, like me,
147
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:43.360
didn' t sleep and as I
had already said, I realized she
148
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.879
was walking all over the house because
she listened to her leg. Dragging was
149
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.639
something that made me very anxious to
hear her walk very close to where I
150
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.440
was. It seemed as if he
realized that and wanted to hear what he
151
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.799
was doing. Milo also sensed it
because when the lady was on the other
152
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.960
side of the house. He was
grunting. That was the most obvious proof
153
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.759
that I wasn' t wrong.
What I didn' t know was what
154
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:18.440
I was doing up at those hours. It seemed like every night she was
155
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.279
hanging out. The landlady would often
go out in the backyard, I could
156
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.159
tell because Milo was going there to
grunt. He no longer barked because I
157
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:33.480
forbade him, but he did show
that he perceived something that put us at
158
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.519
risk. On that occasion I approached
the door cautiously as it was from Cristal.
159
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.320
He had a cloth curtain. I
scoured her a little so the landlady
160
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.399
wouldn' t notice my presence.
She was walking fast. Throughout the garden
161
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:54.480
he had his gray hair loose,
which did not allow me to see his
162
00:12:54.039 --> 00:13:00.919
face until at one point he turned
directly to where I was. Maybe he
163
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.840
did it because my dog started grunting
harder and got restless, causing the curtains
164
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:11.080
to move. I could not see
him very clearly in the face, but
165
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.240
I could swear that his nose was
elongated with large and dark eyes, as
166
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.440
well as a large mouth. It
couldn' t be possible for that woman
167
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:24.279
to have the face of a owl. When she realized that there was someone
168
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.759
on the other side of the door, she moved on to where I was.
169
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:33.519
I got out of there right away, pushing me towards the wall.
170
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.720
I was the one who couldn'
t hold back and started barking. I
171
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:43.279
didn' t know if I got
confused, but I was almost sure I
172
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:48.519
heard a flutter At that time the
dog stopped making scandal I never knew if
173
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.679
from the impression received I started to
have contractions that warned the arrival of my
174
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:58.360
baby. Or it was simply time
to give birth, but each contraction began
175
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:03.519
to become more frequent as if Milo
realized what was happening, he began to
176
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:09.799
bark desperate. At that point,
the fountain broke. Ruben came down in
177
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:15.360
a hurry to the fuss our pet
made. He immediately took me to the
178
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.639
hospital. Soon after my baby was
born, I felt very tired. I
179
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.240
couldn' t sleep. It had
been a lot of emotions together, but
180
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.559
there was a time when the dream
overcame me. I saw a woman reach
181
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.440
the threshold of the door in the
room I was in. I tried to
182
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.559
wake Reuben, but he never reacted. When I spoke to him, I
183
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:41.639
thought if I had been with him, that wouldn' t have happened.
184
00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:48.840
That woman stayed for a few minutes. It looked like he was looking for
185
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:50.759
something and when he didn' t
find it, he left. I never
186
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:56.279
knew if what I remember was the
product of a dream or reality, because
187
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.720
I asked the nurse if it was
possible for anyone to enter the hospital in
188
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:05.879
the morning. She replied that visits
were only allowed during the day. At
189
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:11.039
night, a relative with the patient
stayed to sleep. No one else could
190
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.639
come in. In addition, the
maternity floor was carefully guarded by a policeman,
191
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:24.960
precisely to protect the young newborns and
prevent any theft of infants. I
192
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:30.279
tried to be calm, but I
couldn' t get it in the morning,
193
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:33.919
the doctor came to check me out, as my delivery had been natural
194
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.080
half discharge. Soon I could go
home from midnight, as both my baby
195
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:46.879
and I were in perfect condition.
At noon we left Rubén Hospital, my
196
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.320
little boy and I went in the
car to the house. The moment we
197
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.080
arrived, I was surprised to see
a young woman at the house of the
198
00:15:54.159 --> 00:16:00.679
landlady. She looked a lot like
the lady I thought it was about her
199
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:03.480
daughter or some other family member.
As soon as she saw us, she
200
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:10.120
was very happy. She greeted me
as if she had already met me for
201
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.559
education I greeted her I did not
know who it was. I said goodbye
202
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:18.320
to her quickly and went into the
house. Rubén was the one who told
203
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.879
me that he had been very rude, because that woman wanted to see the
204
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.960
baby and because of the speed with
which I got involved it was not possible
205
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:29.759
to do it. I didn'
t want to go into details or discuss
206
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:33.200
with Reuben what I had seen.
I just shrugged my shoulders and forgot about
207
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.200
the incident. The first nights with
my baby at home were nothing simple.
208
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:41.799
She cried most of the time because
she still didn' t have milk.
209
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.960
As much as she tried to breastfeed
him, milk did not come down,
210
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.639
so she cried of hunger. Ruben
was the first to despair at that time
211
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.639
of dawn. He went out looking
for canned milk. I went down to
212
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.600
the living room to wait for Ruben
to arrive. I fell asleep for a
213
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.079
moment with my son in my arms. I was so tired, but I
214
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:11.240
woke up from the barking of my
thread this time I was more upset because
215
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.559
I was jumping at the same time
I was barking at the back door.
216
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.279
When I opened the curtain, I
looked at a woman with an owl face
217
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.200
stuck very close to the glass.
I wasn' t wrong this time.
218
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:26.559
It was true. She started hitting
the glass so hard that I thought she
219
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.200
was going to break it any minute. A few seconds later he stopped making
220
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.480
noise. I looked very carefully again, but that monster was gone. I
221
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.000
only managed to distinguish a flapping.
When Reuben opened the door, I was
222
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.400
so scared. I thought it was
that horrible thing I' d seen again,
223
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:52.480
as if the dog also wanted to
tell Rubén ran away. When he
224
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:57.519
saw it, he barked desperate.
It seemed that the animal also wanted to
225
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:03.119
convey its fear and concern. Ruben
asked what was going on. I explained
226
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.160
to him what I had seen.
He went out to look into the yard.
227
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.960
Of course, he didn' t
find anything anymore. He tried to
228
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.000
calm me down, while telling me
that tiredness caused me to see strange things.
229
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:19.839
I needed to rest. He took
the baby out of my arms and
230
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:26.200
took me to the room to sleep. By that time, I wasn'
231
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.519
t even sleepy anymore. I'
d freaked him out as much as I
232
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.039
thought. I couldn' t understand
what I saw I heard the footsteps of
233
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:37.599
Reuben going up with my little boy. He had already fallen asleep, so
234
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.480
we tried to rest for a while, because Ruben had to work. The
235
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:48.319
next day I was attentive to any
sound I could even hear from the house
236
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:53.640
next door, Ruben and the Baby
were sleeping quietly When I heard things fall
237
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:59.799
on the other side of the rockboard
wall it seemed as if someone was fanning
238
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:04.119
or objects On purpose immediately. I
thought I' d ask the landlady if
239
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:10.200
she was all right, but everything
was quiet. Before I went to bed,
240
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.119
I looked out the window. I
felt restless because I knew there was
241
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.720
something out there and I didn'
t know what it could be. I
242
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:23.799
saw someone running fast in the park. Then he would rise and fly was
243
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.440
the same thing he had seen in
the courtyard. I stayed at the window
244
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:33.039
longer, but I couldn' t
see anything anymore. The next day,
245
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.400
Rubén told me about the office to
tell me that he would stay in the
246
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:42.039
company for longer. There were several
problems I had to solve, so I
247
00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:48.680
wouldn' t get home early.
I was a little quieter during the day.
248
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.200
I wanted to talk to the landlady
to ask her if she had also
249
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.880
seen a strange being in the yard. Ass, I went to his house.
250
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.640
I' ve been playing for a
while, but no one attended.
251
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.039
My mother was already on her way
back. When the landlady opened the door
252
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:07.279
without leaving her house, she told
me she could come in. It was
253
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.400
the first time he had entered his
home. As soon as I walked in,
254
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.119
I noticed a strange smell. Besides, the landlady was showing very little.
255
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:21.960
I just noticed that it was harder
for him to walk while he was
256
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.279
going to sit in the dining room, he offered me a chair. It
257
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:30.359
was when I could see her more
closely that she looked as if she was
258
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.079
more pale and even older. I
asked her if she needed to be taken
259
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.400
to the doctor or to talk to
a family member. At that moment.
260
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:42.319
I remembered the young woman I saw
when I arrived from the hospital. I
261
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:48.240
asked her about it, but the
landlady ignored my question. I decided not
262
00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:52.640
to bother her anymore. I left
for the exit, but the landlady wanted
263
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.000
me to show my little one.
When I did, I noticed a strange
264
00:20:56.079 --> 00:21:02.200
glow in his eyes. I quickly
got out of there because I had a
265
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.640
bad feeling. As soon as I
got home. I spoke on the phone
266
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:08.920
to my friend Andrea. I told
her everything that was going on around the
267
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.880
landlady and she was afraid. I
was quiet. I didn' t know
268
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.319
what name to give to the creature
I saw in the yard. Andrea noticed
269
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:22.039
my desperation. He told me that
as soon as he got out of work,
270
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:26.480
he was going to my house.
The rest of the day I had
271
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:30.119
a really bad time. I was
scared. I didn' t know I
272
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:34.400
was restless most of the time.
I looked out into the courtyard of the
273
00:21:34.440 --> 00:21:38.680
park and tried to hear anything that
came from the neighbor' s house,
274
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:45.039
but everything seemed to be paranoia,
because I was calm. Sleeping in the
275
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:51.559
afternoon. Andrea came in and needed
to talk to someone and she was the
276
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.680
right person. I told him everything
that was going on and about the woman
277
00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:00.680
with the owl face. He asked
me to calm down. It was normal
278
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:04.480
for me to feel that way,
especially because it was my first pregnancy and
279
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.799
being alone with a crying baby all
the time. Tiredness and nerves wreaked havoc
280
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.599
on sanity, but the weekend she
was going to help me get some rest.
281
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.680
I insisted with my friend when I
commented that I noticed something very strange
282
00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:25.279
in the landlady. She didn'
t let me finish, she took my
283
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.640
baby in her arms and sent me
to rest, contrary to what I expected.
284
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:36.240
I fell deeply asleep. When I
woke up, it had already darkened,
285
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.240
I got up immediately and went down
to the living room. There was
286
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.960
Andrea with my baby and I threw
him on the floor next to her.
287
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:47.440
As soon as my friend saw me, she left my baby asleep on the
288
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:53.480
couch and left, as she also
had family commitments. I felt different rested.
289
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:59.039
I thought maybe Ruben and Andrea were
right. It was going to be
290
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:03.000
nine o' clock at night and
I felt really good, I started to
291
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.319
fix the house a little bit and
then watch TV. I had many days
292
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:10.799
that I didn' t. It
was the first time I felt calm and
293
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:15.400
comfortable in that house. I'
ve been watching an interesting movie. I
294
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:18.599
was already going to go to my
bedroom when Milo got restless again, barked
295
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:25.640
and grunted. At the same time
I heard a strange whistle. I snuck
296
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:30.720
into the Crystal door in the yard. There she was and I say she
297
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:34.920
because she was the same woman with
her bird face on this occasion she lifted
298
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:41.440
her big wings opened her mouth in
a disturbing way with her big beak she
299
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:42.799
started knocking on Crystal' s door. I didn' t even bark.
300
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:47.519
More and more I hugged my little
boy to go out on the street.
301
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:51.000
I didn' t even think what
I was doing. I got scared with
302
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:53.400
my baby in my arms. I
was looking for someone who could help me.
303
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:57.240
He didn' t even go after
me. I was crazy screaming for
304
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:02.119
help, but nobody came out to
help me. Suddenly across the street,
305
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:04.519
that monster fell. He came up
to take my son away from me.
306
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:08.279
I had a struggle with her to
such an extent that I stung her eye.
307
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.519
He paused for a moment, but
immediately he fell upon us. She
308
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.839
was about to take my baby when
maylo bit her a horrible scream. It
309
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:23.200
was heard all over the place with
the dog on top of her left us
310
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:29.359
alone. I couldn' t do
anything for my dog anymore, because that
311
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.880
being started hurting him. I took
advantage of the time to run. I
312
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.559
didn' t understand how it happened, but Andrea was running to meet me.
313
00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:42.319
He got me in his car and
we went home. As soon as
314
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:47.079
we walked into my friend' s
house, she put it on my baby
315
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:48.839
' s forehead and on all the
parts of my baby' s body.
316
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:53.279
Blessed water made him the sign of
the cross. In the distance we heard
317
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.960
a whistle. She was that woman
who was looking for my baby. I
318
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:03.920
knew it because Andrea told me.
He talked to his mother about what he
319
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.279
had told him. Her mom lived
with her. She was the one who
320
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.200
told him it was about the chorca. She was a witch who stole the
321
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:18.039
blood from unbaptized babies. That was
the way he managed to live and stay
322
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.359
young. If he didn' t, he was losing his beauty, his
323
00:25:22.599 --> 00:25:26.039
youth, as well as his life. She had the ability to smell a
324
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:32.400
baby from a distance, even if
she was inside the belly. All my
325
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:37.960
thoughts swirled in my mind. She
knew from the beginning when I went to
326
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:42.559
rent the house. That' s
why he gave us so many facilities and
327
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:47.559
preferred to rent the house to us
that night or the next few days.
328
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:49.559
I went back to the house.
I went to my parents' house,
329
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:55.839
where we found a place to live. The sad thing was that I lost
330
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.480
Milo when we went for our things
to the place we found him already closed
331
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.480
without life. He lost his life
to help me. I' ll always
332
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:11.440
keep that in mind. I'
ll definitely miss him very much. Story
