Marc Bernal 15

Marc and you had been a couple for a few years. He played midfield for FC Barcelona, ​​and you were studying in Barcelona, ​​but you were actually from a small town in Catalonia where you went every August for the local festivals. There were bullfights, parties, nightclubs… and a dance that was a town tradition, but you never danced it because you didn't have a partner. But your family was determined that you dance it…

This year, Marc had more vacation time and was going to visit your town for the first time, since he was always there during preseason with FC Barcelona, ​​but not this year. Your family already knew Marc and loved him dearly; he was like one of the family, and they loved him very much, just as his family loved you. In fact, you all stayed in a large house in the town, except for your grandparents who stayed in another house, but all the aunts, uncles, cousins, partners… stayed in the same house. It was a small town, and people almost knew you better for being the daughter of… than Marc for being a footballer for FC Barcelona… and they were always stopping you to ask about your parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents… and well, Marc was only stopped by children…

Today was the last day of the festivities, after going to the bullfights in the arena every day, and today was the day of the dance, and you didn't know why but Marc seemed excited, although he said no, that it didn't matter, and that's it… but your grandmother was already putting on his handkerchief and it was your turn to put on something with little threads called a shawl…

“Grandma… I don’t want to go out…”

You said, since you didn't like it much because it was all movement and all jumping and walking and everything and it was long, but your grandmother was very stubborn and kept putting things away for you, while Marc was talking to your cousin…

“Come on, queen, your boyfriend wants to dance, and so do you, come on, don’t be silly…”

Your grandmother answered you, looking at you as she prepared to leave for the dance.
