Chapter 6 The truth will be heard

Day or two may have been calm but everyone inside the casa can feel the tension between family members. The family Madrigal is starting to crumble under the pressure. Tio Bruno is still in deep sleep and signs of him waking up is no where to be seen. Everyday family members come in to his room and stay there. Telling him how their day has been or just sit beside him and just watch him sleep. One night when Alma was with him inside his room she fell to sleep over his bedside. 

Alma P.O.V

I saw a dream where our family was happy. I stand outside the casa and the rest of the family was inside together having fun. They used their powers that miracle had given to them. Then I saw the most beautiful butterfly fly around me. It led me to the river that was made of golden butterflies. I saw my reflection. First I could not believe my eyes and touched my face. I was young again and then I saw my Pedro standing next to me. He took my hands "Darling I have waited you a long time. One day we will be together again" dream Pedro's words made me happy but sad at the same time. Me to be with Pedro would mean that I would not see rest of the family or my children again for some time. 

   But without any warning my dream became dark and sand started to fly around me. Our hands slip away and I lost sight of my husband. "Pedro!" I yelled but I could not see anything from the sand. I could feel something hitting me from behind. I fell to my knees and when I looked up to my hands they started to turn back to old lady hands. I looked up and saw the casa crumble away. I started to panic but then I heard a voice "You can not hide the truth". I could see a wall of sand to form front of me. I covered my face and as a sand wall hit my face I woke up. I was sweaty and out of breath. "What a nightmare" I told to myself. I looked to Bruno and he was sleeping. I decide to put my head down again and try to fall a sleep again. Hopping for better dreams this time around.

At the morning Pepa walked inside the kitchen where Julieta and Alma where already. Alma was drinking coffee and reading a book while Julieta was drinking her coffee while standing over the stove. Pepa went to her hermana side and asked her "Did you sleep well?". Julieta let out slide smile and told her hermana " Well no... I had this nightmare where I could hear a voice telling me something about the truth being hidden". "Funny you say that. I had a nightmare just like that too" Pepa told pointing herself. 

Alma almost choked and started to cough. "What now madre?" Two girls asked to their madre who was visually taken aback. "Nothing just this coffee is really strong this time" Alma led out a lie and her children knew that. Pepa and Julieta sat down with Alma and looked at her "What madre?". Alma let out a sight and started to speak "We all saw the same nightmare last night. I don't think it's coincidence". Pepa and Julieta looked bit puzzled but Julieta looked up and suggested "Maybe it would be finally be a time to tell them the truth". Pepa was nodding with her hermana but Alma was quick to shut them down "We do not! It would be too much for them this soon". Pepa told "They are not little kids anymore. They will hear this one way or another. They will be really disappointed if they don't hear it from us". 

Camilo P.O.V

I'm walking around my room and thinking about everything that had happened. I don't know what to do with her. I know her feelings towards me but how could I start to feel the same way about my prima? I feel so confused and angry. I know that she loves me with all her heart. It's like I'm meant to be with her. Universe wants us to be more than best friends. I can feel it and it's so unfair. "Ones in my life I could feel happiness but Noooooo don't let me be happy for even ones!" I yell and out of anger I grab a book on my desk. I throw it in the mirror that shatters to million little pieces. I fall to my knees and start to cry while I punch the ground under me. I am so angry for this world for letting me be alone. "Why I can't have happiness? Why me? Why I can't keep Mirabel safe in my arms?" I whisper out the last part while I already know the answer "Because we are family.."

   Then I hear my name is been yelled. I wipe my tears away and go out. I'm walking to the downstairs while Julieta yells Mirabel in there too but she won't come out her room. I stop half way the stairs and ask "should I get her?". Julieta smiles me "If you could darling". I just nod and start to walk back up. I walk over to Mirabel's room door. I knock first "Mira? It's me... Can I come in?". Soon the door opens up slowly and I let myself in "Our madres want to talk about something. Are you coming?" I ask her. Mirabel goes over to her bed and puts her head under her arms. "I don't know" She whispers. I close the door and walk over to her. I sit next to her. "Are you okay Mira?" I ask her. I try to touch her hand but she turns away. I'm sad that she won't even look at me but I try again when she tells me "Don't touch me. I am too weak". "But your not weak. What is this all about Mira? You can tell me everything" I assure her. She won't look at me but turns around. She looks her hands and speaks out "I can not take this. I always have seen you as my best friend. You are so dear to me and I don't want to loose anything of your friendship but I can't take this feeling I feel towards you. I know you are my primo and it's wrong but I can not stop thinking about you... I have fallen in love with you long time ago. I see you as my knight just like when we where little kids playing around but I still do feel that feeling around you. I don't even want to know how wrong it is but I do love you Camilo and I don't want to loose you. I just-" Mirabel stops talking mid sentence because I put my hand to her waist and other to her hair just behind hear ear. I lean in and kiss her. I can feel her kissing me back as she puts her hand around my face. The kiss is as pure and passionate as it is gentle at the same time. When we pull a part our lips I can feel it take our breath away. We look at each others eyes. "I do love you too Mirabel. I know how you feel and I feel so too. You won't loose me. I understand everything. And I will make everything in my power to make you happy and keep you safe with me mi amado". Mirabel face turns so red but the smile she is having over her face is all I need to feel this to be right decision. I take her by her hands and tell her "Maybe we go now. They are waiting us downstairs. We can talk more after that but now we should go". She nods and I kiss her hand as I let her outside the room. As I close te door behind us I can not hide the smile that takes over my face "I kissed her... My first kiss".

Mirabel P.O.V

I pore my hear out to him. I swear if he laughs to me after all this I will punch him. I try my hardest to tell him how I feel and same time I try to be as clear as I can. I know that this is wrong because we are family but I don't care. My feelings don't know that. I let out the part "I love you Camilo" and my heart skips a beat. I stop talking when I feel hand on my waist and in my hair. Without a warning he leans in and kisses me. My heart is beating so loud. I close my eyes and kiss him back as I put my hand on his cheeks. "Does he smell this good all the time or is it the power of first kiss?" I think to myself in that moment. As our lips pull apart and he tells me how he loves me too I can feel the smile come over my face. I have never felt this happy in my life. When he tells me that we should go see our madres because they are waiting us to come downstairs, I just nod. I can't speak our I would start to giggle like a little girl. He kisses my hands and I think to myself "How I can look at my madre's eyes if you do things like this to me?". 

   We go downstairs and all the way down I try to calm down. When we get down everyone are around the family table sitting down. We sit down and Alma start to speak "I asked you all here because there is something we need to tell some of you. But because we are family we should all talk about this". Alma continues "When Pepa was pregnant with Camilo she became really sick and we were scared that she or Camilo would not make it. So I pray for a miracle and something magical happened. That night I saw a dream where Pepas hair and eyes color changed as a angel touched her. It was golden butterfly. Next morning her black hair was lighter and brown eyes where green but most important was that she was not sick anymore". Pepa and Felix are holding their hands as Alma speaks up once again "We where really lucky to have you Camilo born safe and sound but we would not know what miracle had stored for us. Because three month after Camilo was born something happened.  A little baby wrapped in a basket had appeared on the porch that night". Everyone went silent by shock or guilt.

   "What baby? What happened after that?" I asked. When my padre touched my hand and told me "It was you Mirabel...". I stood up and looked at them "What are you talking about?". Madre Julieta started to cry and told me "I'm so sorry darling but it is true. We loved you for the first moment me and your padre saw you outside our door. There was a golden butterfly when we found you flying around you but nothing more. We took you in and named you as our daughter. For years we try to look for your parents but there was nothing. Like you have come here from heaven with your butterfly as a guardian angel on your side. We are not your biological parents but we love you no matter what and you will always be our daughter". I feel like sick as my world is going dark while my madre speaks to me. I look at my parents and ask them:

"The truth is that I'm not your daughter?"
