“Abuelita!!! The Judge can hear our case! If we just go to Los Angeles…”
“I don’t know about this,” sitting down, trying to comprehend the change that was about to befall
her daughter, Carmen. She looked around her room in solitude.
“We have to try! If we speak to the Judge, I know he will listen to us. Let’s go to Los Angeles.”
“It’s a long trip, what are we going to tell him?”
“Abuelita, if there was a moment to save my mom, you would take it -- wouldn’t you? “
“Yes--- I would.”
“And what if this Judge – actually listens to us and rules in our favor? How will we know, unless
we go? I could see my mother! I know that I can get her approved! Then -- you can come live with us!
In Los Angeles! I am going to present my mother’s case so well --- that even Rosalie will vote for Mom
to stay in the US!”
“Don’t get your hopes up about Rosalie, you know who she is…” said Alma looking for the box
of documents, she had saved from Carmen among the stacks of boxes in her tiny closet.
“I will get to see my mother - after five long years! I will get my mother approved. The Judge
has to listen to me,” reasoned Elena, tapping her pencil on her face. “Let’s see what we can do.”
“Do not trust Rosalie, she is a formidable opponent. She has done everything she could to bury
your mom with her power,” warned Alma, reading over Carmen’s documents she extracted from the box
she was searching for.
