We are all in this together

Chapter 38: Sad souls

"A lot more than you think Chamaco ". Héctor states

"Si, I'm sorry for underestimating you". Miguel nods

"Estas bien Mijo ". Héctor smiled

Miguel : "So how far is this gituar anyway?"

Héctor turned to Miguel and walked back.

Héctor: "We're almost there".

He then drops down and falls apart and then quickly put himself back quickly without any problems as he puts his hat back and then walks away across a bridge.

"Papá ". Coco sighed

"That dangerous you need to be more careful with your bones". Victoria reminded

"Si Mija I promise". Héctor smiled

Miguel was amazed at how quick he was able to put himself back together with no hassle and such ease.

Héctor: " keep up Chamaco come on".

Héctor smiled and straightened his hat as Miguel quickly followed down the side stairs with Dante and as they walked in Héctor whistled as a picked up some alcohol on the way in to call to his friends as they walked in.

Meanwhile as they walked Dante came past a rabbit frog looking alerbrije as it croaked and came across from dante and jumped In the water as it croaked.

Woman : "Héctor ".

Héctor: "Hey Tio , yonda".

As Miguel followed he looked around in sadness and curiosity.

Miguel: "These pepole are all your family?"

Héctor : " Ethier way we're all the ones with no ofrendas, no photos no family to go home to; nearly forgotten you know so we all just call each other cousin or Tio or ... or whatever".

"That's so so sad". Socorro pouted

"It is Mija but that's life and there's nothing we can do about it once it happens". Héctor explains

"You've had to live here all these years". Abel said

"That's why you keep the photos on and the memories ". Manny said

"Exactly ". Héctor smiled

Imelda felt really guilty and sad that she'd let this happen to her husband and wondered how he could ever be so forgiving towards her.

She looked as though she was broken hearted to see her husband in such a state and tried not to cry but it was impossible ..

"Mi Amor it's not your fault". Héctor whispered

"But it is because of me you had to live like this I will never forgive myself, you almost reached the final death because of me". Imelda replies

He hugged her close to his chest and sighed knowing there is no way to change her mind.

"I'm here and that's all that matters and I'll never leave again". He reassures

"I know I just don't loose you". Imelda cried

"I know mi vida and that's not happening not for a long time yet". Héctor mumbles

She cuddled into him as they watched not wanting to let each other go.

The two then walked to a group of ladies playing cards on a makeshift table when one yelled Héctor's name .
