Y de repente: Todos pagamos por lo que hice
Hello my dear Steemians,
Today I wanted to write for the contest that requires to continue the story and this is a sentence that needed to be continued:
I was enjoying the afternoon; everything was normal until the sky turned cloudy and I heard voices saying, "You're making Mother Nature angry." After that, it started raining heavily.
...The voice was so close like someone is whispering into my ear, I even turned around thinking that my friend is making joke with me, but Stefano was still away and was buying some drinks at the cafe.
First I thought that it was okay and it was just my imagination but my inner voice was telling me that someone maybe superior Power knows everything that I was trying to hide. I actually already completely wiped it out from my memory. Everything was again okay and I started to be the same like before but now there was a sign from heaven that is showing me that what I did will not be forgiven and if people around me do not know and if I will not be judged here then the nature will punish me for what I did.
It was about a week ago and I had found a job in one chemical factory before I started my job I had to sign a piece of confidentiality that I will not tell what I do. I was not much concerned as it was a big well known company.
Once we were there with other new employees by the way Stefano was also one of them. We were given a task to dispose the content of metal containers in one of the river in forest, we were told that it is just water that was used for the processing the products and due to difficulties with the recycling during this month they need to be simple dumped in the river and that is already approved by government. We were paid good money just for this trip I had no money and it was a simple gain, I agreed.
We went to the river and dumped the content, for about a week I felt guilty but every day it was better and by now I almost forgot it but now….this voice and this storm, it was like sky was broken open and it was revenge from Mother Nature for what I did.
I felt relief now and thought I leave it for you Mother Nature to decide and I accept whatever I will receive.

...La voz estaba tan cerca, como si alguien me susurrara al oído; incluso me di la vuelta pensando que mi amigo me estaba gastando una broma, pero Stefano estaba lejos, comprando algo de beber en la cafetería.
Al principio pensé que no pasaba nada y que eran solo imaginaciones mías, pero mi voz interior me decía que alguien —quizás un Poder superior— sabía todo lo que yo intentaba ocultar. De hecho, ya lo había borrado por completo de mi memoria. Todo volvía a estar bien y yo empezaba a ser el mismo de antes, pero entonces surgió una señal del cielo indicándome que lo que hice no sería perdonado; que, aunque la gente de mi entorno no lo supiera y no fuera juzgado aquí, la naturaleza me castigaría por mis actos.
Esto ocurrió hace una semana. Había encontrado trabajo en una planta química y, antes de empezar, tuve que firmar un acuerdo de confidencialidad comprometiéndome a no revelar en qué consistía mi labor. No me preocupé demasiado, ya que se trataba de una empresa grande y reconocida.
Una vez allí con los otros empleados nuevos —entre los que, por cierto, estaba Stefano—, nos asignaron la tarea de verter el contenido de unos contenedores metálicos en un río situado en el bosque. Nos dijeron que se trataba simplemente de agua utilizada en el procesamiento de productos y que, debido a dificultades con el reciclaje durante ese mes, debían verterla directamente al río; aseguraron que la medida contaba con la aprobación del gobierno. Nos pagaron bien solo por ese viaje; yo no tenía dinero y era una ganancia fácil, así que acepté. Fuimos al río y vertimos el contenido. Durante una semana me sentí culpable, pero con el paso de los días me fui sintiendo mejor y ya casi lo había olvidado; sin embargo, ahora... esa voz y esa tormenta... parecía que el cielo se había abierto de par en par y que era la venganza de la Madre Naturaleza por lo que hice. Ahora siento alivio; dejo que seas tú, Madre Naturaleza, quien decida, y aceptaré cualquier cosa que reciba.
I am inviting following users for contest: @rumanaafroz, @monz122, @uzma4882
Congratulations! This content is nominated by True Colours - Booming03
We loved reading you.
Thank you True colours Team for reading and I am glad that you like my creation :)
Impecable tu relato. Sentí que no era ficción, sino verdad irrefutable. Ciertamente, la madre naturaleza anda "descontrolada". Tengo un amigo que dice que todo lo que está ocurriendo en el mundo: terremotos, tsunamis, avalanchas, incendios forestales, y pare usted de contar, se debe a las acciones humanas; y tú lo plasmas muy bien en este relato. Suerte.
Thank you for your reading. I remember how in old saying been told that we should not make the motehr Nature angry, I heard that many time from my grandma and for me it was like a real warning when I was a child, maybe it is good to teach kids with such awareness :)
Sí. Es necesario crear espacios vegetales en las ciudades, incluso en nuestras casas. Parece mentira, pero las plantas nos ayudan a mantenernos de mejor ánimo.
Thank you for supporting my creative writing :)
