Como Atraje A Los Muertos Del Más Allá Historias De Terror - REDE

1
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.800
The portal of the afterlife was born
with a medical condition that led me to

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.679
be in the hospital for a long
time. A lot of my memories are

3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.480
from that place. There were special
dates, like Christmas, even my birthday,

4
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:26.079
when I was hospitalized with me.
My parents were always there. It

5
00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.120
was mainly my mother who accompanied me
in this process. It may sound simple,

6
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.200
but it wasn' t. I
have no memory of how this pilgrimage

7
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:41.200
began in different hospitals, nor of
how I was diagnosed with cancer. I

8
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:46.000
heard from my mom when she took
me to the doctor who said that I

9
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:50.640
started with a lot of fever and
tiredness due to the increase in temperature in

10
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.399
my body. I wasn' t
hungry. My mom started taking me to

11
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:58.600
a doctor who had her office in
the colony. He was a good doctor,

12
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:03.320
because he sent me to do studies
to find out what disease he was

13
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.000
facing. The studies that I underwent
were conclusive. It was the first time

14
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.599
my parents realized the type of illness
I had. From that moment on,

15
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:17.920
they started taking me to the social
security doctor, although I was also treated

16
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:23.480
in a particular way. Many of
the difficult moments I spent in the hospital,

17
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:27.079
my memory erased them I knew from
my mother, who told me what

18
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.879
happened to me like when I went
into a coma and that of an unconscious

19
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.480
week, I had very vague memories
of that episode, but more than remembering

20
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.760
that I was in a coma my
mind played a bad past because all that

21
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.400
week that I was unconscious I lived
a life as if it were real.

22
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.040
I still keep the memory of a
woman who was present in my life.

23
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:57.840
She was like a mirage that appeared
and disappeared from moment to moment. I

24
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.879
remember that when I came out of
the coma, I looked insistently for that

25
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:07.640
woman as if she were part of
my family, I searched the whole room

26
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:09.840
without being able to find her.
It was a little complicated to want to

27
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:14.960
communicate with my mom, because it
was hard to talk, but as soon

28
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:19.439
as I could ask her about the
woman, my mom was puzzled or told

29
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.039
me that only she had been with
me all that time, that sometimes my

30
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:28.439
grandmother and some of my aunts visited
me, although no one like the woman

31
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.199
I was looking for to make communication
easier, my mom showed me photographs of

32
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.800
the people who had visited me.
Each face was passed on the screen of

33
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.800
the phone without being able to identify
the woman I wanted to see. Denying

34
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:43.479
all the time as soon as I
saw a face, I slowly forgot about

35
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:47.919
that vague memory I had of that
woman. When I was out of the

36
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:52.199
hospital. I spent it at home
next to my parents. I had no

37
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.280
brother, because I was the first
daughter my parents had, but with the

38
00:02:55.319 --> 00:03:00.840
complexity of my health, they decided
not to have any more children, mainly

39
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.639
because my illness demanded many attentions,
as well as time in the hospital.

40
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.080
As long as I didn' t
have any complications, I was in my

41
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.479
quiet house. Except for the days
I had to attend chemotherapy. I spent

42
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.759
most of the morning getting the treatment
for it. I already had a catheter

43
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.719
installed in my chest permanently so that
there was no need to be biting with

44
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:29.680
the needle constantly. They only connected
me to the serum where I put all

45
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:35.080
the medications I needed. Reactions to
medicine were sometimes devastating, as I constantly

46
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.439
vomited for a day, which did
not allow me to eat or even have

47
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:46.199
an appetite. There were other days
when the side effects of the medication were

48
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.919
very light. I almost felt nothing
and could make my life relatively normal.

49
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.159
The days I felt better I went
to school and could live with my colleagues

50
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:01.919
and friends. Juliet was my closest
friend. She was always present at the

51
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.879
most complex moments of my illness.
Sometimes she was allowed to come into the

52
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.520
hospital, although she was usually not
left, as she was a minor.

53
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.639
Like me, I remember meeting Juliet
at her house after I left school.

54
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:23.120
He invited me to eat next to
his family. We had a great meal.

55
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:27.079
Then we went to his room to
watch a movie. Everything was fine

56
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:31.040
until I started feeling really bad.
Juliet noticed, came up with me and

57
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:36.360
told me she could call my mom
or take me home. Then I didn

58
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:40.959
' t know what happened. I
lost consciousness. I plunged into a series

59
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.360
of unreal dreams in which the strange
woman who talked to me all the time

60
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.160
appeared. I' ve never seen
her close enough I only saw her from

61
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.800
the distance that her hand was reaching
out for me to follow her. He

62
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:59.519
was signaling me to get close to
her. At first I stood there watching

63
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.839
the one with distrust, something inside
me told me that it was not safe

64
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:09.959
to follow her and I must say
that while I was unconscious and had those

65
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.600
dreams, I thought it was a
reality. I just realized it wasn'

66
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.759
t true until I woke up,
so I wasn' t sure I'

67
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:21.240
d leave with that unknown woman.
It was a slim figure. He always

68
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:26.759
wore a long white dress. His
long hair is lame. It reached to

69
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:31.439
his waist, which moved with the
wind swing. On that occasion it was

70
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.040
different. I wasn' t afraid, and I got a little closer to

71
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:40.800
her. Maybe I did it because
I was starting to recognize her with slow

72
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.000
steps. I went to the place
where I was, although as much as

73
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.920
I walked I couldn' t reach
it. He looked farther and farther away.

74
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:53.800
However, there was an instant when
I was close enough to see his

75
00:05:53.879 --> 00:06:00.160
face. That woman was on her
back with her long hair. When he

76
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:06.000
turned his head to talk to me, his cheeky face scared me, I

77
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.560
had no eyes, no nose,
no mouth. It was a skull that

78
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:14.680
smiled at me all the time.
I wanted to run, but I couldn

79
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.959
' t do it because I was
holding my hand with a force that I

80
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.680
couldn' t hold back. He
kept dragging me because I was trying to

81
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:28.079
resist his jaloneo trying to grab hold
of anything around me. But that only

82
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:32.399
gave that woman more strength to keep
pulling until we reached an abyss. She

83
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:39.439
stared at the darkness of the hole
for a while. Then he turned to

84
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:44.000
see me and, with his permanent
sinister smile, he ventured along with me

85
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.480
into the abyss. I can'
t describe what I felt when I was

86
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.839
falling into the void, nor can
I describe the fear it gave me in

87
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:54.480
the face of my imminent death.
I closed my eyes, thinking that that

88
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:59.360
way the prompt death would hurt less. When I opened my eyes, it

89
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.000
was hard for me to breathe.
I felt a pain in my throat that

90
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:05.120
wouldn' t let me speak,
as well as a tightness in my chest.

91
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.639
After being in so much darkness,
the white light blinded me for a

92
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:15.600
few seconds. I kept my eyes
closed until again I was able to open

93
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.879
them little by little. There were
several doctors and nurses around me, as

94
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.519
well as a defibrillator. As soon
as the doctor saw that I opened my

95
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.240
eyes, he asked one of the
nurses present to remove the tube in my

96
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.480
throat. After they took it from
me, I felt like I could breathe

97
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.480
and talk again, although I couldn' t say a single word. My

98
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.920
voice didn' t answer me.
I only stopped to lift my left arm

99
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:45.079
in an erratic way, because I
had lost the motor in my extremities.

100
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.959
Through Cristal' s window, I
could recognize my parents' face. Their

101
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:55.160
pale, emaciated faces were imprinted with
the tiredness of being in the hospital for

102
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.920
so long. It was the first
time I was aware of the suffering I

103
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.000
gave them because I spent so much
time in the hospital because of my illness,

104
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.759
although I could do nothing to change
the facts. As the doctor examined

105
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:13.040
me thoroughly, I could perceive a
murmur that I had never heard before inside

106
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.839
the hospital. It was as if
several people were gathered praying the rosary.

107
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:22.759
I tried to identify where the sound
came from, but there was no one

108
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:26.240
else inside the room. Except for
the doctors and nurses, the doctor thought

109
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.399
I was looking for my parents,
because he pointed me to the place where

110
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:37.440
they were. He asked me to
be patient at any moment they could come

111
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:41.120
in to see me. He probably
saw my face bewildered, so he wanted

112
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:46.440
to reassure me, although what he
was really trying to find was to know

113
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.879
where that murmur came from. After
the doctor and nurses finished checking me out,

114
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.279
my parents were allowed to come in
and see me for a few minutes.

115
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.279
My mother immediately hugged me and covered
my face with kisses. My dad

116
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:05.000
was away worried. For the same
reason, I did not want to tell

117
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.480
them what I had lived during the
induced coma because I was almost certain that

118
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:13.080
it was death that brought me to
my final destination, although I did not

119
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:16.399
understand the reason why I had returned
from the abyss of the afterlife. That

120
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.879
night I was in intensive care.
While I was in that room, my

121
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.279
parents were not allowed to be with
me. I could only see them through

122
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.080
a glass. With his afflicted face. I felt extremely tired, so most

123
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.120
of the time I was asleep.
I only woke up when one of the

124
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:41.240
nurses came to check my vital signs
and supply the medication. I was so

125
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.919
cold all the time, I told
the nurse. She kindly took me a

126
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.399
blanket. I fell asleep for a
while. In that place I lost track

127
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.759
of time because there were no windows
to know if it was night or day

128
00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:00.399
a pleasant perfume. He woke me
up. It was another sick woman who

129
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.559
came to check me out. She
smiled kindly at me. While he was

130
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.519
doing his job, I noticed that
he was wearing a white toilet hat on

131
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:11.480
his head. It became quite strange
to me, because all the nurses who

132
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.159
had taken care of me did not
bring it. He also had a white

133
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.919
dress and a mandile of the same
color. Your outfit. It seemed particular

134
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.120
to me because I noticed an extreme
cleansing, and it was not that the

135
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:28.519
previous nurses were not, but that
she, apart from her perfume, had

136
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.360
a particular smell in her clothes.
As time went by, I knew it

137
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:37.399
was starch so that the clothes would
be perfectly ironed. After the nurse gave

138
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:43.759
me the medication she needed with a
nice smile, she said goodbye to me.

139
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.919
He told me anything he needed to
tell him. She' d be

140
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.159
on the other side of the room. Attend to whatever need you had.

141
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.919
For a few minutes I was surprised
by the particular way the nurse treated me,

142
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.000
although I fell asleep again in the
morning allowed my mom to visit me

143
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.639
for half an hour. He stayed
with me. I told her about the

144
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.679
nurse who treated me during the night
and the uniform she was wearing. I

145
00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.120
could no longer continue my talk because
another nurse came along with the doctor.

146
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.360
I asked them who had taken care
of me during the night. The nurse

147
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.559
anticipated to tell me that she was
in charge of the night shift in the

148
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:28.840
living room. I interrupted her to
tell her what other nurse had put my

149
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.039
medication in my serum. The nurse
immediately corrected me by telling me that it

150
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.960
was probably a dream that I had
had, because after I came out of

151
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.399
the induced coma, my mind was
scattered, so I could have imagined that

152
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.200
that woman attended me. I wanted
to tell him that it wasn' t

153
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:52.120
a dream, that everything was real, but the doctor intervened commenting on the

154
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.559
side effects produced by the drugs that
were giving me. As soon as they

155
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.399
left, I told my mom that
that woman had really given me attention that

156
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.240
it had been nothing out of my
imagination. My mother tried to calm me

157
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:09.600
down. She didn' t contradict
me anymore, but I noticed in her

158
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.240
eyes that she didn' t believe
me either. That day they switched me

159
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:18.120
from intensive care to intermediate therapy.
It was better to be in that room

160
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.200
because there were more patients and more
staff. My mother was also allowed to

161
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.879
stay with me longer, although in
the evening the room was again left in

162
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.120
half light and in absolute silence.
Again, that aroma that I had already

163
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:37.639
identified was the same nurse that had
treated me the night before. While he

164
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.000
was doing his job, he watched
her carefully. As soon as I finished

165
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.919
doing it, I took her by
the hand just to feel that it was

166
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.120
real and that nothing was the product
of my imagination. She smiled at me.

167
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.399
He told me not to worry.
I' d be on the other

168
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.559
side of the room, looking out
for whatever need I had. Now I

169
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:03.240
was sure she was real. Later, when more staff came to check me

170
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:07.000
out, I told them about the
nurse. Noting that I was not being

171
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.159
given the necessary attention, I told
them how she was dressed. The two

172
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.000
nurses turned to be surprised. They
didn' t tell me anything, but

173
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:20.120
I figured they were hiding something from
me. During the morning, my mom

174
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.840
came into the living room to tell
me she was going to be absent.

175
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.759
I needed some paperwork and my dad
was working. He asked me not to

176
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.240
worry. He was well served inside
the hospital. I was gonna get there

177
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.039
as soon as possible to be by
my side. I told him not to

178
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.320
worry. I felt very good,
as the doctors had said that the next

179
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.600
day they were going to change me
from intermediate therapy to a normal room,

180
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.919
which meant that I was stable that
day I didn' t feel so tired

181
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.320
anymore. I was awake most of
the time until a middle- aged woman

182
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:58.399
came to visit me I knew it
was someone who knew me why she called

183
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.799
me by my name. That woman
greeted me with a lot of familiarity,

184
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.320
although to me she was a stranger. Surely she saw the distrust in my

185
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:11.519
face. She told me that maybe
I didn' t know her, but

186
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.399
she was my aunt, Aunt Aurora
I quietly refused, although somehow I felt

187
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.879
comfortable with her presence. When he
called me by my name, I realized

188
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.759
it wasn' t a mistake.
I thought maybe my mom asked him to

189
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.960
take care of me so I wouldn' t be left alone, even though

190
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.159
I knew it wasn' t necessary
for someone to be with me. The

191
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.559
aunt' s stay was very pleasant, because she began to tell me when

192
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:41.200
she and my mom were playing together, when they were little and a series

193
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.000
of memories that for me were unknown, since my mom never told me about

194
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:50.080
my aunt, nor had we frequented. I didn' t mind not knowing

195
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.639
her or remembering her. We had
a very pleasant conversation for a long time,

196
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.679
although my aunt aurora was the one
who spoke the most after she looked

197
00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:03.200
at the pulse clock. It was
a small, curious artifact. I asked

198
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.679
him about his watch. My aunt
replied that it was a gift my mother

199
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:11.000
gave her many years ago that was
why she was so old and that she

200
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:16.639
kept it as a very dear memory. My aunt said goodbye telling me it

201
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.080
was too late, but the next
day she would visit me again. She

202
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.600
came up to kiss me on the
cheek. Her face and her hands were

203
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.440
frozen, although I didn' t
care if I got a little cold.

204
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:33.399
The warmth with which he treated me
compensated everything, mainly because it was possible

205
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:37.639
for me to meet one of my
aunts who, by chance of life,

206
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.120
had had no contact with her.
I was left alone for a long time.

207
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.759
It was very strange for me that
my mother did not arrive and it

208
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.039
was not that I wanted her to
be with me, but that she never

209
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.720
left me alone, although that thought
went away when I received a more smiling

210
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.879
visit when I saw that a disoriented
child asked for me. When I heard

211
00:15:58.919 --> 00:16:03.039
my name, I immediately lifted my
dough I thought that my mom, knowing

212
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:07.039
she was going to be late in
getting to the hospital, sent people to

213
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.559
see me so that she wouldn'
t be alone. That child would be

214
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:12.879
about my age. He was very
quiet and quiet. I asked him who

215
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.960
he was. He didn' t
answer me. He just told me his

216
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.840
name was John Paul and that my
mom had told him a lot about me.

217
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.919
That' s why he wanted to
come visit me and talk to me.

218
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.480
The feeling I had with that child
was very rare, because, although

219
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:30.399
I did not know him, I
did not feel uncomfortable with his presence.

220
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:33.960
He didn' t talk much.
His face was pale, his hair short,

221
00:16:34.360 --> 00:16:38.399
his eyes sad and dull. I
asked him if something was wrong with

222
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:42.519
him. He denied it. He
told me he would have liked to meet

223
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.440
me under other circumstances. I didn' t understand why you were telling me.

224
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.679
Little by little he went into confidence. He started telling me about his

225
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.759
games, his friends, my parents. When he told me about them,

226
00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.440
I had the impression that they weren' t my parents, because he referred

227
00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:02.759
to things that he didn' t
know, like when my dad taught him

228
00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:06.079
how to use valor and spin.
I asked him what those things were.

229
00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:11.480
Laughing told me they were really fun
toys. At that moment he began to

230
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:18.039
smile his pale face changed completely.
He told me a lot more stories he

231
00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:22.039
did next to my parents. I
was hardly going to ask him how he

232
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:26.000
had such a close relationship with my
parents and why I never met him,

233
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.279
although I could not do it because
John Paul was startled. He told me

234
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.000
it was time to go. Before
he left, I took him by the

235
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.519
hand. I asked him to come
visit me more often, that I would

236
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.279
like to meet him more. He
smiled and pulled a marble out of his

237
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.920
bag. He put it in my
hands and left. I understood that that

238
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:51.680
was the promise that made me return
within a few minutes my mom arrived.

239
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:56.519
I thought, if it had taken
a minute less, he would have met

240
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.279
John Paul. I wanted to ask
him if I hadn' t seen him,

241
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:02.519
but it was so the apprehension he
came with that he wouldn' t

242
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.759
let me. He came touching my
forehead to see if I didn' t

243
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.880
have a temperature. He went to
the nurse to ask her if she had

244
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.799
given me the necessary medicines and what
was the situation in which I was in.

245
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:18.640
After a few minutes, my mom
was relaxing. That' s when

246
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:21.640
I could talk to her and tell
her what visits she' d had.

247
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.880
I thanked him for sending people close
to me to keep me company. My

248
00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.279
mom looked at me strangely. She
told me she didn' t ask anyone

249
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.759
to come visit me. That'
s why she arrived so in a hurry,

250
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.799
because it took her longer than she
thought to be her earrings calmly.

251
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:41.200
I could tell you about Aunt Aurora. While I was telling her, she

252
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:45.640
looked at me strange. He asked
me to tell him what Aunt Aurora was

253
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.759
like. I told him he was
nice, Alegre. My mom interrupted me

254
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.960
abruptly. He asked me to describe
in more detail what my aunt was like.

255
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:59.000
I told her that she had straight
hair up to the shoulders of Thin

256
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:02.880
and very pretty Morena complexion. As
I kept telling my mom what my aunt

257
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:07.640
was like, she opened her eyes
and stared at me. She asked me

258
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.680
if I wasn' t lying to
her question. It bothered me a lot

259
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.400
because I had no reason to,
I didn' t keep telling her about

260
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:18.680
my Aunt Aurora. I preferred to
talk about John Paul. As soon as

261
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:22.640
I started telling her about my new
friend, my mom took me by my

262
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:26.799
hands and brought her face very close, so close to each other with a

263
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:33.559
slit voice she asked me again if
I wasn' t lying a little scared.

264
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:37.960
I said no, I didn'
t have to. My mom sat

265
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:42.720
down and wept uncomfortably in the chair
next to my stretcher. I was puzzled

266
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:47.519
by his reaction. I didn'
t know what to do or what to

267
00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:51.720
say. Before I could react.
He left the room to talk on the

268
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:56.799
phone through the window glass. I
could' ve seen her groping a lot.

269
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.880
While I was talking right away.
He got into the room a little

270
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.400
quieter. He asked me to tell
him about John Paul. I kept telling

271
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.039
him the details as I told him
about the meeting I had with him.

272
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:12.759
My mom was getting heavy tears on
her face. He couldn' t understand

273
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:18.279
what was happening to him. Before
concluding my account, I showed him the

274
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:22.480
marble, which John Paul gave me
with the promise that he would return so

275
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.680
that we could play together. As
soon as I showed my mother the marble,

276
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.519
she couldn' t hold back.
He began to weep uncompromisingly. I

277
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.279
felt very bad to see my mother
like this without knowing why she was so

278
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:41.319
sad, nor for not being able
to help her. We were quiet for

279
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.920
a few minutes until the doctor came
to tell us I was stable. I

280
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.599
could go back to my house now. I was still puzzled by my mom

281
00:20:49.720 --> 00:20:53.480
' s attitude. She didn'
t ask me or tell me anything anymore.

282
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:57.519
He often looked out at the door. I thought I was expecting to

283
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:02.319
see my Aunt Aurora or John Paul, but actually who I was waiting for

284
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:06.880
was my father He came with a
disfigured face. Among them they said something

285
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.720
among murmurs. The first one to
start talking was my father. He coughed

286
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.400
several times to clear his throat.
It seemed like what he was going to

287
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:18.519
tell me cost him a lot of
work. She told me that my aunt

288
00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:22.559
Aurora had been her sister, that
she died when she was very young because

289
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.599
of a very serious illness she had
I thought that she could also have been

290
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.519
treated for cancer and that my father
did not want to tell me so that

291
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.640
she would not scare me and that
I could not understand how it was that

292
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.880
she had come to visit me.
I knew I wasn' t making anything

293
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.039
up, because he had never told
me about her, because she died before

294
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.440
I was born. When my father
revealed to me that my Aunt Aurora'

295
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:48.440
s spirit was the one who came
to visit me. I didn' t

296
00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:53.359
believe what he was saying, but
I was sure it had happened. I

297
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:56.759
wasn' t done getting out of
my surprise. When my mother began to

298
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:02.599
tell me a story with her voice
left and her face emaciated, she told

299
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:07.240
me that before I was born,
they had had a son named John Paul,

300
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:11.240
who had not told me because I
was not old enough to understand what

301
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.279
death was. But now that I
knew, John Paul was my brother who

302
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:22.119
died of leukemia when I was eight. My parents couldn' t keep talking

303
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.359
anymore. The two melted into a
hug as they cried. They concluded by

304
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:30.680
telling me that they now realized that
their son had been present all along.

305
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.359
I got out of the hospital because
I had my crisis under control. I

306
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:40.240
continued my chemotherapy treatment for more than
a year, until the doctors did more

307
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:44.640
studies and gave me the good news
that the cancer went into remission every year.

308
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:51.319
My parents took me to control to
make sure everything was okay with my

309
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:55.759
illness. At that time I couldn' t understand everything that happened to me.

310
00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:59.720
But now that the years have passed
and that I am a young woman,

311
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:04.319
after finding an answer to everything that
happened, the scientific explanation or that

312
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:10.039
of the doctors, said that,
due to the cancer that I had and

313
00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:14.640
the states of unconsciousness, my brain
had a dissociation from reality, since at

314
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:19.240
that time my brain reduced blood flow
and brain activity, along with the drugs

315
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:25.240
that I received, I could be
in a semi- conscious state, so

316
00:23:25.319 --> 00:23:30.319
I confused reality with fantasy. Of
course, I didn' t believe what

317
00:23:30.359 --> 00:23:34.119
the doctors told me, because I
never knew of Aunt Aurora or John Paul,

318
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:41.279
much less of that nurse who dressed
in a peculiar way. Some time

319
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.640
later I met a psychic who revealed
a truth to me. He told me

320
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.720
that because of my illness I was
about to die. I crossed the threshold

321
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:52.400
of life and death for a moment, and that woman of my dreams was

322
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:56.400
nothing but the death that had already
taken me with her to the afterlife.

323
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.079
He couldn' t tell me why
I came back or why and I could

324
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.519
see those dead relatives. He told
me that the most certain thing was that,

325
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:08.400
being almost dead, I opened the
portal of the dead and they could

326
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:14.079
come to see me true or I
did not believe the psychic more than the

327
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:17.640
doctors, although I did not see
my aunt Aurora again, nor my brother

328
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:32.480
John Paul and much less the nurse. Story written and adapted by Adriana Cuevas
