As a teenager, Lena is a single girl who suffers a terrible accident that completely changes her life and makes her a lonely, solitary woman who fears people.
Chapter 1 Ch1
My name was Lena, I was a little girl, but I had to be a big girl, my mother and I were living with a monster in a slum, and she was working for us in a number of jobs to get money. When I came back from school, her face was bloodied from beating. In time, there was a little sister for me, but I didn't like her because she was not my mother's daughter.
The beast brought her to our house and said that she was my daughter and we had to accept it. He was living in difficult days of poverty. I was hearing the screams of our good neighbor at the hands of another beast who lived with her. When it rained, our area was suffering and drowning. The beast was in our house, taking his stick away from us and returning.
On a day when the beast decided to hurt my mother, an alien shaped angel appeared and drove the beast away before taking her to heaven and leaving.
Fourteen years later, I heard a voice calling from afar, "Hope Hop."
I didn't know who chose Hope's name for me, and I opened my eyes Louisa was making breakfast when I decided to take a hot bath before breakfast.
Everything was normal except the nightmares I had every once in a while and I didn't know what they meant.
Louisa tells me all this because Mother Sarah left home was true 14 years ago, living and working in the orphanage. Mother Sarah to me was everything I didn't know about her before. Mother Sarah told me that I lost my family as a child in a car accident and I was saved and I have been following her ever since and I don't understand why she was being taken away from the parish's orphanage now after all these years.
The sound of hot water making me calm stopped all of a sudden, and I was cold, so I came out of my hot bath in a hurry, Louisa said, The water motor had broken again. This was one of several problems in our village water and electricity always promises but without implementation I sat down and ate breakfast. I had responsibility for supervising girls under the age of ten from nine in the morning until seven in the evening I was the older sister and mother of some of them. That was a very comfortable thing in spite of all the problems. It was the best time of my life and I knew this in my heart.
The life of our village is quiet We were a parish orphanage The villagers treated us very well I enjoyed weekends wandering the village to bring the necessary food to the house All week I enjoyed walking down the road to the farmland and seeing that beautiful view I thought the best job in the world was a farmer because without it many people would go hungry and start brutal wars The sight of birds in the sky was unspeakable once a week I did this and in time I enjoyed Mother Sarah's praise for being well negotiated with the sellers and getting the best prices Luisa loved the kitchen, and day after day she became second in charge of the kitchen as Miss Magdalena's assistant. We used to make fun of her behind her back because she made us call her Miss. But I was really sad to know that it bothered her because I was a little wild girl.
Mother Sarah was in charge of this place many years before she worked there from a young age.
So when I found out one day that she was leaving, I couldn't believe it, but she went out in the lobby to tell everyone, and everyone was shocked.It was like a punishment and we never understood what it meant. It was so depressing that I went out behind her and asked her to explain the sudden decision, but she patted me on my shoulder and said that she had a job elsewhere and that the parish had sent another mother in her place, and she would start her work at the beginning of the new month. I should be as good as I have been. It was my feeling at the time that I lost my mother, and for the first time I looked in the mirror and looked at my age and thought about what I really wanted in my future.
"Hope, what's the matter?" said Louisa, "I'm just as sad as you are about Mother Sarah, but since you left, you're not doing things well. Hope stopped chewing. She knew that Louisa liked to be a mother to her since they were little girls, and it didn't bother Hope all the time, but she woke up from that dream in a bad mood.
So Hope said, Louisa really has grown up, enough of the sermons, what kind of work have I done wrong here, nothing changes but the girls will grow up and go to the city and their lives and forget about us and what about us? Luisa was so shocked and determined that it was such a depressing day that they stopped eating and both loved food so much.
Magdalena was different from Sarah; she seemed to be a mysterious woman, not as affective as Sarah; after a break for lunch, Magdalena asked Hope to come to her office, which was strange. Hope knocked gently on the door and entered Mother Magdalena, reviewing some papers and saying to Hope: Sit down.
Mother Magdalena knocked a little bit and said, Hope, how old are you? Hope was surprised, and then she said 27 years old.
Mother Magdalena said she's become a young girl, then.
Mother Sarah has done a lot, but don't you see it's time to start living now Look, it's okay what it was But I'm not like Mother Magdalena There are unforgivable things so it's always better to try, but on the other hand, I can't take risks with these little girls.
Hope was in shock and didn't understand how her arranged world turned upside down all of a sudden and she said, Am I wrong I know I haven't been so good lately, but I promise I am. Mother Magdalena stopped her by hand and said, with a sticky smile, You have to be ready to leave at the beginning of the week, there's enough time to sort things out.
