Ciudad de México, México – Parte 1

El bullicio de la Ciudad de México se filtraba por las ventanas del restaurante, una mezcla de cláxones, vendedores ambulantes y guitarras callejeras que parecía anunciar el inicio de algo grande. Sonia había llegado primero y eligió una mesa junto al ventanal. Mientras observaba el vaivén de la avenida Reforma, recordó el día en que todo había comenzado: la reunión familiar en Bogotá meses atrás, cuando entre risas y sobremesas alguien lanzó la idea de viajar juntos de nuevo. Lo que empezó como un comentario nostálgico terminó creciendo con mensajes, llamadas y planes que poco a poco se hicieron serios. Y ahora, por fin, estaban aquí.

Juan entró con su paso relajado y esa sonrisa que nunca perdía. Se inclinó para abrazar a Sonia y bromeó con que ella siempre elegía los lugares con las sillas más incómodas. Había dejado Oaxaca por unos días y, al verla, recordó que no importaba la distancia ni el tiempo: los lazos de la infancia seguían intactos. “Si logramos organizar este viaje sin pelearnos por el itinerario,” dijo entre risas, “creo que podemos sobrevivir a cualquier cosa.”
