1 LIVING AGAIN

As many say love and it is a very funny and very complex feeling, because one day you are in love and the next you already want the other person to disappear from the world. My passion was called Alex was young when we met she was, a little brunette, with long straight hair and slightly slanted eyes. After some time we got married she served in the army to work in the Air Force, but that didn't stop us from living a love story that soon got better because fate brought us a pregnancy, I remember the day she told me that we would be that day I felt countless sensations: fear, joy, fright, finally the feelings of a first-time father.

Over time the pregnancy progressed and we discovered that they were quadruplets, this was one of the biggest news we have ever received, until she had to take maternity leave, as soon as she started staying at home we stopped to review the new situation and realized that lived in our parents' house, so we decided to have our own lives with our children, we moved to

a city with about 500 thousand inhabitants. As soon as we went to the city we won a condominium with three bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, leisure area and service plus barbecue and garage. It wasn't a mansion, but it was cozy to raise our kids and live a little.

After 9 long months, they finally came into our lives to change them forever, until today I remember their first smile and the first time I caught them. It was as if, for an instant, nothing else mattered, I only had eyes for them.

The years passed and they grew, in the first years they started to walk and the first steps were one of the biggest achievements for me. At 2 years old they had already left the bottle and were causing terror, it was a painted wall, doors scrawled without counting the times when they spilled flour on the floor and messed up. That is why I always tell my friends that children are not easy, imagine four !!

Everything was going very well, our children healthy, she and I were getting closer and closer. And I had got a new job as a fashion designer in a big company at: STAR. A well-recognized company in the country responsible for most of the new winter collections .... Anyway there we were happy and as if our HAPPY FOREVER had already arrived. Until one day Alex was summoned to a mission in a small and distant country that was at war. She was an excellent driver, one of the best in her class, but unfortunately the destination of the laps. Shortly after she went on that mission I received an air force letter at home saying that her F22 jet had been shot down in the air and there is no survivor, when I finished reading the letter I felt as if suddenly everything in life was no longer worth it, as if my reason for living had literally evaporated.

I entered the house still trying to assimilate what you hear and there was Paulo Cuper, a 26 year old man totally lost, at that moment I thought about ending my life there, because for me it was no longer worth it until I hear some laughter upstairs and when I go up I find the four of them making a work of art on the wall my reasons for living. they were only 2 years old, they needed me. From that day on I started to dedicate most of my time to them and never failing to mention that their mother died as a heroine and thus passed eight long years of an intense routine .... (And how to live on past doesn’t help, it’s time to wake up the kids and go to work).

I woke up today in a good mood and since Friday I was excited for the weekend. I got out of bed and went straight to the

bathroom- (Because believe me, the smell was not the best.) I always leave my clothes in the bathroom in case one of the children comes into the room without warning (they do it right) I finished my bath (which by the way was great) and saw my the clothes I had separated, it was a regular suit, with a blazer more blue to match the pants, a white blouse underneath with a wine tie, a leather feel and a scarf the same color as the tie in the pocket of the blazer and to make this father the most stylish in the world, a simple black leather shoe and all that goes with a man, white, tall, black hair, brown eyes. not yet finished now would come the worst part waking up the kings of the mess.

My apartment has two floors and on the top floor along a corridor a little long and quite wide are five doors and inside them are the den of one of the wildest animals of all: THE CHILDREN. It has always been very difficult for me to do this, but after a workshop for parents in the city they taught me a simple and participative way. You will only need:

CORN AND MILK CEREAL

These two tools together make an alarm clock that is anti-glitches. I went downstairs in the kitchen and picked up the jars (which by the way each kid has their respective plastic pot / bowl) I spilled the cereal missing a finger to spill it on and then I was slowly wetting it with milk (for so that all corn flakes are moist, not soaked). As soon as I finished, I placed each pot with a spoon on the kitchen counter and shouted like this:

-Coffee is ready !!

Suddenly a crash comes from the second floor the sound seemed to have released the pile of wild horses and when from behind the bench I look at the stairs I realized that they arrived (ie functional). a few seconds and for that reason of all and the most responsible she and white brown hair wavy means with eyes slightly pulled in the color caramel and white, right behind came the CHAOS, Cristopher with the skin tone similar to that of Ana had hair straight black and unbelievable as he didn’t pull his mother’s eyes and he is also chubby (not obese, but chubby in a cute sense with health in the day) he looks like a walking battery he never stops running and talks a lot ( when he was little he was the first to speak), behind him came the most loving of all and at the same time short paw and Celina very much like her sister only that he is a little shorter and last but not least Lucas, he and well equal with his brother, he has the tightest eyes. Certainly he and Ana were the ones who gave me the least work. Lucas was more introverted and shy, he preferred to stay more in his

-How was your night !? (I asked)

-I dreamed that I had traveled to space and I went on Mars and saw some aliens and we played football! (Said Christopher grabbing his cereal)

-You live in the world of the Moon or better on Mars! (Ana said)

-Are you Lucas dreaming something interesting tonight! ?? (I asked)

-Nothing, just black! (He said eating calmly)

-I dreamed that my nail polish was over !! (said Celina)

-Which one? (I asked)

-I don't remember that, Dad, but I was really mad! (She said)

-Great news !! (Lucas spoke with a sarcasm face)

-Look how you talk to .......

-Chat is fine, but now you have to go up and change your clothes if you don't .... you're going to be late for school !!! (I said interrupting Celina before she could make a mess after I took the empty bowls and put them in the sink)

-Dad we can go by spaceship today, since it is Friday! (Asked Christopher going up the stairs)

-No, let's go by car!

As soon as they got up, I took the opportunity to pack their snack and as I saw at the Workshop, their snack has to be well balanced, that is, I put a fruit, mixed hot and a little (it can be in a box or not). The black and brown handle stays on the sofa (because I arrive exhausted from work and help with my homework) I take the time to organize some work papers and in a few minutes I start to hear backpacks coming down the stairs.

-DAD !!, tell Christopher not to wet the whole bathroom dangerous! (Ana said)

-I can't, and I practice skating! (Said Christopher doing some stunts)

-You can fall and get hurt! (Ana said)

-Obey your sister, she is right! (I said closing my suitcase)

-She's always right (grumbled Christopher walking towards the door)

-Are they all here ?? (I asked)

(As soon as I spoke, one was missing and it was Celina, as always!)

-Where's Celina !? (I asked)

-I have a hunch, she must be beautifying herself in the mirror! (Said Christopher walking towards the door)

-Filhaaaaa, come on, you'll be late! (I screamed)

Suddenly Celina descends alone from the second floor, all dressed up and with a lunch box hanging from her neck.

-Come here, come on !? (said Celina)

-OK, let's go! (I said)

Our floor is from the seventeenth so we entered the elevator, when we left the elevator we went to the parking lot and Christopher soon found our car (which he swears is a spaceship, I explained, but ....) our car and it looks like a mini vain, it is white (I chose this one because it is cheap and with space) to leave the building towards the school which is a few blocks from our building.
