The Secret Part 3

I woke up to the cell phone alarm. It was 6 a.m., Sunday, my favorite day of the week. I jumped out of bed and got dressed quickly. Dad was still asleep, and I quietly went downstairs. I made breakfast and sat down at the table. My dog ​​came and barked, he wanted his morning walk. I was still tired, but I complied with his request. When we returned, I found my father in my room. I don't know what he was looking for there, but he had his back to me facing my nightstand and was bent over as if looking at something. I was curious and went to him. I saw that he was holding the jewel that shone yesterday. She looked at him in surprise and at the same time scared. I told him, "What are you doing, Dad" He was suddenly startled and left the necklace where he had found it. His expression was stranger than ever, as if he had seen a ghost. - I was looking at ... this ... Since when do you have it? -feelings, trembling in his voice -It's not mine ... I found it yesterday, in the pocket of my jeans .. Apparently one of my friends put it there by mistake, when I see them I will ask them if it is not one of them. -But ... -he stopped and looked at me numb -What's going on? -I was already a little scared, my father never reacted like that to anything, let alone to the fact that someone forgot his jewelry with me. "Nothing ..." He grabbed his head, as if it hurt, and left my room. I stared in horror, unable to find a logical explanation for what was happening. I also looked at the necklace, its stone shone again, but much less than yesterday, when it would burn my eyes ... I came closer and caught it. '' Does it run on any batteries? '' At that moment, my father came in again. The jewelry went out. He muttered: -I forgot to tell you that tonight they will give ... that favorite movie of yours ... On TV ... - he spoke confused, slow and distracted. I shouted: -Dad, what's wrong with you? !! You're acting awfully weird! -Don't hold my tone! -I don't keep your tone ... -I muttered -Something is happening to me ... I feel angry and restless. Dad approached me, as if I were telling something very interesting, and he had to hear every word I said. -Since when? -he asks me -Since yesterday ... since I woke up after I got drunk and after I found .. -I turned to the necklace. I made a suspicious face, and my father threw himself on my locker. -We have to throw it away! -he grabbed the jewelry and would have left my room if I hadn't stopped it: -What are you talking about? It's real silver and a real gem, the one who lost it must have given a lot of money, I can't just throw away other people's things. He stopped as if thinking and set the necklace back in its place. I continued: - I'm talking about this strange behavior, Dad, I can't understand you ... Is there a problem in your work? -No, you're imagining. I'm not acting weird at all. -Why did you suddenly jump and want to throw the jewelry? -I ... I just don't like to have other people's things in my house ... It's just that and nothing else ... I didn't believe him, something very strange was happening. But I didn't want to question him anymore, because he wouldn't have told me the truth anyway. My father left the room once again ... I decided to follow him. We went to the living room and sat on the couch, but we didn't talk for half an hour. Finally he called, "Say something." -What? -Such as how he goes to school. -You know how ... couples, threesomes, absences, cigarettes, friends and visits to the director. -I'm glad you're at least telling me everything, most of them are scared and don't tell their parents that they run away from class to smoke cigarettes, for example ... - he looked at me and winked at me. I smiled in turn. -I plan to change ... I don't want to get only poor grades anymore, I don't just want to run away from class, I don't even want to smoke ... But I just ... I don't change ... I can't ... - When you grow up and become more mature then ... Now at least try to finish high school ... -You know, Dad, you're not crazy at all when you let me do all this nonsense ... -Apart from stealing ... I looked at him questionable. -I know that once he stole perfume, and another time a blouse for 50 leva ... -I ... I returned them ... I wasn't lying. I've been a king twice in my life to follow Mira ... But a week later I went to the same store, returned my things, paid, although they didn't stay for me, and apologized to the saleswomen and the security ... It was humiliating, but at least I wasn't arrested. -Well done. I don't think you're exactly like those muffins ... I think you're a lot more than them and someday you'll do something I'm proud of. -he looked at me, and I was about to cry. We had never talked to my father like that. He smiled, but because I felt a little awkward, I changed the subject. -Dad, can I ask you something? -Yes. - Coincidentally there is ... - I stopped, I would ask if there is luminous jewelry, because what I found glowed sometimes, but I decided that it would scream and he would still want to throw it away, so I thought of something else. any good movie in the cinema? -I don't know, I have to check on the internet. But I don't feel like it today. -I was just asking ... Today I obviously couldn't find a place, because I went into my room again. It was as if something drew me to go. This time the necklace was off, but there was something unusual. I took it and saw an image in its stone. It was as if there was a man talking. I thought I was imagining, but the stone began to clear and a woman appeared ... Inside the green gem! I was scared and was about to miss it, but my wife said, "Don't be afraid, Kalina! It's me." My father came in and she left. -What happened? Scream! -I ... I was just screaming ... He looked at me strangely, but I didn't care. I saw my mother in the necklace ... Yes, she was! That was simply impossible! I thought I was imagining, but it wasn't! She obviously wanted to tell me something else, but as soon as my father came in he hid ... I felt super surprised! Mom died 7 years ago, and now I see her in a necklace ... Unbelievable! I was not on my own. I didn't hear what my father was saying. I grabbed the jewelry and ran ... Dad shouted after me, but I didn't stop. He stopped at the entrance to our apartment, but I was racing somewhere. I thought only one thing - I had to talk to my mother, and obviously, it would only happen if I was somewhere alone. I finally reached the sea, which was not far from us, but I was still tired. There was no one where I went. I hid behind some stones and took out the necklace. I whispered: -Please call me! And at that moment the jewelry shone and that image of my mother reappeared. "Kalina!" -Mom! Is that really you? -Yes darling! -I can't believe it, but you! But you're ... - I'm not in the necklace. Only my reflection is there. -How .. in? -This is a stone for the afterlife. Anyone who finds it, if there is a loved one who has lost it, can see it if he looks inside ... - But what are you talking about? ... -I cried, I hadn't done it in a long time -I can only tell you that! The necklace will protect you and show your destiny! Don't give it to your father, he's afraid ... -Why is he afraid? What is going on here? What fate? -I would have fainted -I'm sorry, but I can't tell you anything more! You will understand it when the time comes. Farewell! See you again someday! -she smiled -Wait! No! Do not go! СТООООЙ! Unfortunately, the image of my mother disappeared. I was shocked. I wanted to get up, but I couldn't, as if someone had stabbed me in the heart with thousands of needles. I was shaking ... My head hurt and I felt powerless. I thought it was one of my crazy dreams ... I got up abruptly and started running home. My father was waiting for me and he was worried. -What happened to Kalina? Are you crazy? Why did he run away like that? - Am I crazy? What's wrong with you !? -Who are we? I couldn't say anything else, I felt terribly scared. I collapsed on the couch. -Viburnum! What's wrong with you girl? He had not seen me holding the necklace. I hid it because my mother told me not to give it to him. Still, I wanted to tell him everything and question him, but I felt I shouldn't. There was something I definitely needed to know! And I would have understood it, but for now I knew only one thing - that the world I knew would no longer be the same ... To be continued!
