From the Memory - Desde el recuerdo

From the memory
I wake up with a very bad headache. I remember last night we were drinking and chatting until very late.
I get up a little tired and head for the kitchen.
I find my father sitting in a chair and covering his face with his hands.
"Good morning."
He do not answer me.
-Dad.
For a moment I think something's happened to him.
My mother walks into the kitchen with her eyes watering.
"Mom."
He won't even stop to look at me. It doesn't tell me anything. And he's addressing my father.
"We have to hurry, the funeral is in less than an hour."
My father wakes up sobbing and hugs my mother.
What's going on? Desperate scream.
My mother says crying to my father:

"Our only son. The police don't know how the accident happened. Fucking nightclubs and fucking booze.  I don't know how we're gonna be able to live without him from now on."


Desde el recuerdo

Me he despertado con un fuerte dolor de cabeza. Recuerdo que anoche estuvimos bebiendo y charlando hasta muy tarde.
Me levanto algo cansado y me dirijo a la cocina.
Encuentro a mi padre sentado en una silla y con las manos se cubre el rostro.
-Buenos días.
No me contesta.
-Papá.
Por un momento creo que le ha ocurrido algo.
Entra mi madre en la cocina con los ojos llorosos.
-Mamá.
No se detiene ni a mirarme. No me dice nada. Y se dirige a mi padre.
-Tenemos que darnos prisa, El entierro es en menos de una hora.
Mi padre se levanta sollozando y se abraza a mi madre.
-¿Qué pasa? Grito desesperado.
Mi madre le dice llorando a mi padre:
-Nuestro único hijo. La policía no sabe cómo ocurrió el accidente. Malditas discotecas y maldito alcohol.  No sé cómo vamos a poder vivir sin él a partir de ahora.
