You called me just to worry me, ever since you got that pain in your back you’ve been giving me nothing but scares, what did the doctor call for? Armando (without paying much attention to Leticia’s reproaches, he sits down on the sofa and slowly begins to speak): They already had the results of the tests, she called me to tell me that I have lung cancer. Leticia (astonished, she drops the broom and as she speaks she goes to the sofa next to her husband): “Cancer! Armando tell me you’re kidding, you can’t have that disease. Armando (more and more embarrassed): I wish I could tell you it’s a joke but it’s not, I’ll start treatment next week. I am scared. I wonder… Why me? I kept thinking all the way through what I did to be punished this way and I came to a conclusion. It doesn’t matter why the evil is there; it is there and I can’t do anything else, just fight, do what I have to do and I will get out of this. Leticia (taking her husband’s hand): This disease is mortal Armando, how are we going to overcome it? Armando (trying to encourage his wife): Fighting Leticia, we are not going to give up the fight, we will do everything that is necessary, I will not let life stop because of this disease and I hope I can count on your support. Leave the pessimism and we will make it together, you will see. Leticia embraces her husband, both of them letting some tears flow.
