El sol comenzaba a descender sobre la bahía de Santa Marta, tiñendo el cielo de naranjas y rosas colores que ame desde lo más profundo, me detuve un momento, dejando que la brisa marina acariciara mi rostro, y miré mi collar, no podía evitar pensarla, ese pequeño objeto, con su color profundo y familiar, era mucho más que una simple joya, era un vínculo, un puente invisible entre mi hermana y yo.

The sun was beginning to descend over the bay of Santa Marta, dyeing the sky with oranges and pinks, colours that I loved from the deepest, I stopped for a moment, letting the sea breeze caress my face, and I looked at my necklace, I couldn't help thinking about it, that small object, with its deep and familiar colour, was much more than a simple jewel, it was a link, an invisible bridge between me and my sister.
Alejandra y yo nacimos distintos años, pero desde que tengo memoria, siempre estuvimos juntas. Crecimos compartiendo risas, secretos y sueños, viajando de la mano por distintos caminos, nunca había salido del país y me toco por primera vez sin ella, cada aventura, cada nuevo destino, lo descubrimos como un equipo, complementándonos como el yin y el yang, ella, con su fortaleza y determinación; yo, con mi ternura y paciencia.
Este viaje a Santa Marta era diferente, por primera vez, me tocaba enfrentar un nuevo horizonte en soledad, a pesar de la emoción de explorar, sentía un nudo en el pecho cada vez que pensaba en su ausencia, pero no estaba completamente sola: llevábamos siete años usando estos collares, ella con el suyo, de su color favorito, y yo con el mío, no podía dejar de llevarlo, porque, de alguna manera, era como llevarla conmigo.
Alejandra and I were born different years, but for as long as I can remember, we were always together. We grew up sharing laughter, secrets and dreams, travelling hand in hand on different roads, I had never left the country before and it was my first time without her, every adventure, every new destination, we discovered it as a team, complementing each other like yin and yang, her, with her strength and determination; me, with my tenderness and patience.
This trip to Santa Marta was different, for the first time, I had to face a new horizon alone, despite the excitement of exploring, I felt a knot in my chest every time I thought of her absence, but I was not completely alone: we had been wearing these necklaces for seven years, she with hers, in her favourite colour, and I with mine, I could not stop wearing it, because, somehow, it was like carrying her with me.
Cuando vi el primer atardecer en la bahía, supe lo que debía hacer, saqué mi teléfono y capturé el momento, quise que Alejandra lo viera a través de mis ojos, que sintiera la paz de ese instante, la magia de los colores reflejados en el mar, fue mi manera de decirle que, aunque no estuviéramos juntas en este viaje, siempre estaríamos conectadas.
Espero que pronto podamos planear un nuevo destino, reírnos como siempre y olvidar que hubo un viaje en el que no pudimos estar juntas. Hasta entonces, me aferro sin importar la distancia que siempre estamos bajo el mismo Cielo, desde donde nos encontremos nos pensaremos.
When I saw the first sunset in the bay, I knew what I had to do, I took out my phone and captured the moment, I wanted Alejandra to see it through my eyes, to feel the peace of that moment, the magic of the colours reflected in the sea, it was my way of telling her that, even if we were not together on this trip, we would always be connected.
I hope that soon we can plan a new destination, laugh as always and forget that there was a trip when we could not be together. Until then, I hold on no matter the distance that we are always under the same Heaven, from wherever we meet we will think of each other.
