Heart of flesh - Blood bond (cp5) 1/4
Andrea drives along the deserted highway at fullspeed. His head is muffled and the engine roars in the silence in a surreal way.
He’s dreaming, he’s not really in the car.
It’s
not possible!
Gina didn’t want him to go and had tried to block him in
front of the door, but he threw himself into the car all the same
and ignored all the road signs. His common sense was sleeping on the sofa.
He still doesn’t believe his parents are dead and that
his sister is in a serious condition.
It’s
not possible!
He’s the one who makes a mess of things, only him.
They’re the boring ones. They don’t fall apart ever, they’re trivial, set-in-their-ways,
fussy and predictable.
As soon as he sees the Bergamo exit, he slows down and
passes directly through with the Telepass.
It’s the first time he goes into the mountains on his
own with the Mini, and he now realizes that he’s at the Bergamo valley
junction: Seriana Valley or Brembana Valley?
If he gets it wrong, it’s game over.
Then he remembers, it’s the Seriana. He goes by memory,
even if the road he’s on is brand new. He passes through two tunnels that he
doesn’t recall, he was too young.
"The navigator!" he exclaims, punching the
wheel. "What an idiot!"
He programs it quickly, typing the name of the
hospital as he passes a big supermarket. The Nembro Esselunga and it’s brand
new.
"Everything is different," he whispers, now
relying on the voice that tells him where to turn until he gets to the curvy little streets, as he calls them,
bordered by the woods.
The air is fresh and intensely fragrant. He recognizes
the smells of cut grass and flowers.
It’s dark, but the lights illuminate well.
When he arrives at the intersection, he begins to
climb the switchbacks hoping his Mini can withstand second gear. There are new
houses, beautiful villas. High street lamps illuminate the perfectly paved streets
with roundabouts with well-tended flower beds.
He continues to drive relying only on the navigator
because he really doesn’t recognize anything about the place. Maybe there is a faster
way, but he prefers to play it safe.
Finally, an hour and fifteen minutes after his
departure from Milan, he arrives at the hospital and follow the signs for the
ER. The establishment is new, clean and looks really well organized.
He goes down the same ramp for the ambulances and parks.
He has a dry mouth and his tongue feels like
sandpaper. His hands however are wet and he quickly passes them over his face. He
grabs his cell and calls his uncle.
"I’m outside," he says, still hoping to wake
up from the nightmare he’s been plunged into.
"I’m coming!"
He removes the key, and exits the car numb. He closes
the door and lowers his head. He waits, rubbing the key in hand.
"Andrea…," his uncle calls him.
He sees him quickly approaching. He’s all crumpled:
his shirt, pants and face, which is reddened and cries from a sudden and
uncontrollable suffering.
And Andrea understands he’s not dreaming. It’s all
true.
He shakes his head as his eyes fill with tears. He
bites his lip and clenches his fists.
It’s
all true!
His uncle hugs him, holds him and shares the pain that
is invading him, but the weight is too much and legs struggle to support him.
"Chin up boy, come on…," he sobs clenching
him vigorously. His uncle is robust, almost as tall as him, and for a moment
Andrea lets himself be supported.
"Uncle…"
