My Sister's Boyfriend

"Nice to meet you..." They greeted each other and we entered the room. It seemed bigger, I analyzed the environment before reaching the people. Alexander was there, next to Ceci. I smiled broadly and he came to meet me, hugging me tightly. I felt this embrace with a painful longing.

"I've missed you, little one.

-Me too. We walked away and Ceci stopped next to me. I rolled my eyes and pulled her into a quick hug. Murmuring a compliment that she simply loved, with all my gift of irony in her voice. "You're fat.

"Shut up, stupid. He laughs softly at his fake irritation. At least that hadn't changed. I greeted Pablo with a nod and saw Igor standing next to the TV. Holding his hand was a young boy.

"This is my son, Eduardo," Cecilia said proudly. No wonder, the child was adorable. A real miniature of Igor. The eyes were light brown; almost greenish, in an unusual sand color. His hair was blond brown like Igor's. Just like the nose and that same little smile. He looked at me smiling, looking embarrassed. The sunburned skin, but still the rosy cheeks.

-Hi.

-Hi. He repeated.

"Aren't you going to give the blessing to your aunt?" I grimaced. Aunt? Come on! I was too young to be an aunt. He walked awkwardly and hugged me tightly around the waist. I bent down and hugged him tighter.

- Thank you for the gifts. He whispered in my ear. I pulled away looking at him.

"Did you like it?"

"They were cool. I laughed softly in the natural way he spoke, and after saying that he ended up walking away. Going back to Igor, who was looking at me half smiling, half serious. The debauched eyes... Cheerful. Truly joyful. I averted my eyes and introduced Edith to everyone quickly.

"Where's Karol?" I asked, looking for my sister who ran away from me with every contact I tried to make on the phone.

"You're in your last days at your father's house. "She's been like this since the divorce, you know?" Eleven years old and already rebellious.

"Oh..." - the divorce. My mother had separated from Karol's father a couple of years ago, and it seems Karol hadn't handled it very well yet. Unlike me and Ceci, who shared the same parents, Karol was our half-sister and she kind of took it as if she should stay away from us.

I was silent for a few seconds and saw that Edith engaged in a conversation with Alexander and Cecilia, who were talking about marriage. At that time my mother announced that we should go to the dining room soon. I let her guide me into the kitchen, which was even bigger.

"What happened to this mother house?"

"We enlarged it, we made it one more floor. To get bigger, because of Edward and Alexander.

"It turned out great.

"It'll get better when Cecilia and Alexander's room upstairs is ready." Their wedding is a few months away. It goes by so fast. "It's true. Too fast!

Pov. Eeyore.

Eduardo was lively and hyperactive after dinner. The sugar boosts his energy even more. He played video games with Alexander and Edith, a very pleasant and playful girl, who had showered him with compliments, and seemed totally won over by Edward's shyness when he was complimented by a beautiful woman. He had pulled Malu in the process, enchanted by her new aunt, and there she was, squeezed into the corner of the couch, laughing at Eduardo and his shenanigans, who did everything to impress her. Pablo was standing with me on the side of the stairs, trying to distract me. Malu talked about her marriage to Cecilia too, but I barely followed what they said, I only heard her voice.
