El Hombre del Sombrero (Esp/ Eng)

Nadia era una chica que le encantaba, hablar con todo el mundo, era muy sociable, aparte era muy hermosa físicamente y eso le sumaba para que las personas se le acercaran sobre todo los del sexo opuesto. Ya pronto iba a comenzar la universidad e iba a empezar a vivir en unas residencias estudiantiles cerca del núcleo universitario; estaba muy emocionada con esta nueva perspectiva de vida.

Pero algo que ella se había cuidado mucho de que casi nadie supiera de ella y era que desde muy niña podía ver personas o seres que no eran de este mundo. Al principio le comentaba a sus familiares mas cercanos, pero por ser una pequeña niña, pensaban que era que tenia una imaginación muy movida y le restaban importancia. Pronto aprendió de que tenia que ver y callar, lidiar con esto de la mejor que sabia ignorándolos...

Pero al cumplir los 12 años empezó a ver una extraña figura, que siempre se le presenta como un hombre alto vestido de negro, se veía fuerte incluso atlético y que siempre portaba un sombrero el cual no le dejaba divisar completamente el rostro..., este ser no se limitaba para visitarla podía ser en su cuarto o en cualquier lugar donde ella estuviese, aunque tenia sus preferencias su cuarto, muchas veces despertaba porque sentía que alguien la miraba y era el quien siempre le vigilaba el sueño....

Nadia, ya se había acostumbrado a su presencia, aunque no se atrevía a enfrentarle o hablarle, insistiendo en hacer caso omiso de estas presencias...,él simplemente sonreía muy tenuemente, ante sus actitudes de indiferencia. Así fue creciendo Nadia, hasta llegar al momento de la mudanza de la casa materna, al recinto estudiantil. Todo era una emoción lágrimas de la madre, preocupación del padre pues su pequeña ya había empezado su vuelo a la vida adulta.

Nadia se mudo a su pequeña habitación, que compartía el servicio de los baños que habían con otras habitaciones en el edificio, comía en la universidad y de resto todo marchaba en orden; ella pensó que se mudaría sin su extraño visitante..., pero no, pronto descubrió que el ya tenia su puesto en su habitación al lado de su cama, en la única silla que había en la habitación, ahí se sentaba a observarla al dormir sobretodo o incluso cuando tenia visitas ,¡que inoportuno! a veces era incomodo, pues algunas personas se percataban de que ella siempre estaba viendo a algún punto fijo distraída...

Todo marchaba de maravillas, ya había hecho algunos amigos en el recinto y a veces iban a visitarle. Un día alguien le presentó a un extraño chico, que al instante se prendó de ella, fue en una fiesta en casa de este, que unas amigas la llevaron y le conoció de una vez; este quiso entablar conversación con ella, pero había en algo que a Nadia le advertía alejarse, además su "vigilante" hacia extrañas muecas, cuando este chico andaba cerca de ella..., esto la alertó, como pudo se fue temprano de aquella fiesta y así transcurrieron los días.

Aquel chico se lo conseguía en todo lugar, asediándola, invitándola hasta que ella se decidió a decirle amablemente, que no estaba interesada en salir con el. En ese momento, el chico se mostró muy dolido pero sobre todo, una ira inexplicable fluyo en el y la amenazo, le dijo, que pronto sabría de él, que a él nadie lo deja a medias...Nadia pensó que estaba trastornado y se alejo de el. El hombre del sombrero estaba cerca de ella viendo aquella loca escena...

Una noche Nadia dormia profundamente, como casi siempre su "acompañante" estaba en su silla, eso fue lo ultimo que vio, antes de irse a dormir, hasta que despertó sofocada, dos manos le apretaban el cuello cortandole el suministro de aire, casi que por completo. Nadia empezó a tratar de zafarse, pero le era imposible. Era el extraño chico que estaba sobre ella, cuando iba perdiendo el conocimiento, sintió que alguien tomaba a aquel lunatico y lo lanzaban a la pared con gran fuerza...

Al recuperarse, vio que se trataba de el hombre del sombrero, que tenia a aquel desquiciado tomado por la camisa, propinandole la paliza de su vida, solo se podia oir los gritos del chico. Rapidamente empezaron a tocarle la puerta a Nadia y ella como pudo les abrió, gran sorpresa para todos los presentes, cuando observaron con sus ojos como aquel chico se estrellaba solo contra las paredes, como sangraba como si le golpearan pero nadie lo estaba haciendo...

Si no lo estuvieran viendo no lo creerian, así paso unos minutos hasta que este muchacho cayó desvanecido de golpe en el piso sin moverse, completamente desmayado. Los testigos se quedaron petrificados, solo Nadia estaba conciente y habia visto quien habia sido su salvador el hombre del sombrero, que sonriente se habia sentado de nuevo en su silla..

Nadia was a girl who loved talking to everyone, she was very sociable, besides she was very physically beautiful and that added to the fact that people approached her, especially those of the opposite sex. She was soon going to start university and was going to start living in some student residences near the university nucleus; she was very excited about this new perspective on life.

But something that she had been very careful that almost no one knew about her and that was that since she was a child she could see people or beings that were not of this world. At first, she told her closest relatives about her, but because she was a little girl, they thought that she had a very lively imagination and they downplayed her importance. She soon learned that she had to watch and shut up, deal with this as best she knew by ignoring them...

But when he was 12 years old he began to see a strange figure, which always appears to him as a tall man dressed in black, he looked strong even athletic and who always wore a hat which did not allow him to fully see his face..., This being was not limited to visiting her, it could be in her room or anywhere she was, although she had her preferences, her room, many times she woke up because she felt that someone was looking at her and he was the one who always watched over her sleep....

Nadia had already gotten used to his presence, although she did not dare to confront him or talk to him, insisting on ignoring these presences..., he simply smiled very faintly, at her attitude of indifference. This is how Nadia grew, until reaching the moment of moving from her mother's house, to the student campus. Everything was an emotion, her mother's tears, her father's concern because her little girl had already begun her flight to adult life.

Nadia moved to her small room, which she shared the bathroom service with other rooms in the building, she ate at the university and everything else was in order; She thought that she would move without her strange visitor..., but no, she soon discovered that he already had his place in her room next to her bed, in the only chair in the room, there he would sit and watch her when she slept. especially or even when I had visitors, how inopportune! sometimes it was uncomfortable, because some people realized that she was always looking at some fixed point distracted...

Everything was going great, he had already made some friends in the compound and sometimes they went to visit him. One day someone introduced her to a strange boy, who instantly fell in love with her, it was at a party at his house, that some friends took her and she met him at once; he wanted to start a conversation with her, but there was something that warned Nadia to get away, besides her "watchman" made strange faces, when this boy was near her..., this alerted her, as she could, she left that party early and so the days passed.

That boy got it for her everywhere, harassing her, inviting her until she decided to tell him kindly that she wasn't interested in going out with hers. At that moment, the boy was very hurt but above all, an inexplicable anger flowed into him and he threatened her, he told her that he would soon find out about him, that nobody leaves him halfway... Nadia thought he was upset and walked away from him. The man in the hat was near her watching that crazy scene...

One night Nadia slept soundly, as almost always her "companion" was in her chair, that was the last thing she saw, before going to sleep, until she woke up suffocated, two hands tightened around her neck cutting off her air supply, almost completely. Nadia started to try to get away, but it was impossible. It was the strange boy that was on top of her, when she was losing consciousness of her, she felt that someone took that lunatic and threw him to the wall with great force...

When she recovered, she saw that it was the man with the hat, that she had that madman taken by her shirt, giving her the beating of her life, she could only hear the boy's screams. They quickly began to knock on Nadia's door and she opened it as best she could, a great surprise for all those present, when they observed with their eyes how that boy crashed alone against the walls, how he bled as if he had been hit but nobody was doing it. .

If they weren't seeing him, they wouldn't believe it, that's how a few minutes passed until this boy suddenly collapsed on the floor without moving, completely passed out. The witnesses were petrified, only Nadia was conscious and she had seen who had been her savior, the man with the hat, who had sat down again in her chair smiling.
