Albina told Macos everything. She now lived across the street from Ariana.
As the house was finely decorated, Macos lived in it long before Ariana.
The two would see each other often in the future, so it wouldn’t take Macos long to hear about Ariana’s breakup.
-Why did they break up all of a sudden? -Macos’ voice was complicated.
-It’s not sudden, it’s not easy to explain,” Albina didn’t explain and said directly. I’m helping Ariana to move right now.
-Wait for me, I’ll go there too,” Macos said immediately after reacting.
Albina was quick to refuse, she told Macos that it was a temporary idea, she had not let Ariana know yet.
-We will go on our own for the move, there is not much stuff. Ariana still doesn’t know about your house purchase in front of her, you don’t want to reveal yourself so soon – Albina reminded him.
-Santiago and her have already broken up, Ariana is already single. I have the right to pursue her, this is exactly my chance. When she was sad, I appeared by her side to comfort her, which contributed to increase her goodwill towards me -she said while her mind wandered as she remembered that time Ariana cried on her shoulder.
Albina was instantly speechless.
-Where did you learn this?
Macos hadn’t even been in a relationship, and he said one reasoning after another.
-I looked up the strategy on the Internet. A lot of people shared their methods for chasing their girlfriends, and this trick was the most effective,” Macos said a little embarrassed.
-This also has to be for the right person and the right time, this trick won’t work with Ariana -Albina snorted.
-How’s that? -Macos became interested.
-Ariana is very strong. When I came over, she didn’t shed a tear in front of me, and she even smiled back and comforted me. Do you think she would cry in front of you? She probably wouldn’t show you any vulnerability. Your coming over to comfort her would be counterproductive and make her defensive towards you. What’s more, this time she suffered a lot with Santiago, and a period of time she is not going to touch love again. So this time, the one you approach her as a friend will be the best, and gradually you will open her heart .
Macos was silent for a long time before saying:
-So why did you give me an idea?
Albina paused for a moment. Ariana did not want to touch love because of her relationship with Santiago, but she could not see her alone and cold.
Ariana had no contact with her parents anymore, her grandmother had also passed away and she had very few friends.
So Ariana was now very lonely.
I wanted Ariana to have a partner who would protect her, love her and make her happy for the rest of her life.
Macos’ family was not that complicated and his own personality is very mild-mannered. He didn’t have many ex-girlfriends and was very dedicated with his relationships.
That person will give Ariana a sense of security and is the best fit for her.
Last time Ariana didn’t let him meddle in their relationship, but this time, Albina wanted to take matters into her own hands.
-Ariana was too bitter as a child, she hasn’t tasted what true happiness is for many years, and I think you can give her that.
Albina’s voice was soft, but it fell on Macos like a heavy hammer, making his heart shudder.
Only after a long while, Macos answered her:
-It’s okay, don’t worry, I’ll treat her well.
-I hope you’ll do as you say.
Albina let out a smile as if relieved.
-Sure.
Macos’ voice was unusually firm. He liked Ariana very much, so much that he wanted to give her the best of everything he had.
She wanted security and he could give it to her, he hadn’t had contact with any woman anyway and could protect her alone for the rest of his life.
She wanted happiness, he had nothing else, but he could spoil her for the rest of her life.
The two were talking when suddenly there was a knock on the bathroom door and Ariana’s soft voice came in.
-Albina, are you finished? I need to wash my hands too.
Albina hurried to answer:
-Okay, I’ll be right out.
Then she quickly said to Macos:
-I’ll give you some help after this, but it’s still up to you whether Ariana will accept you.
After saying this, he hung up the phone and walked over to open the bathroom door.
Ariana looked at Albina in confusion.
-Who were you talking to just now?
-Umberto, he asked me if the moving company has come and if we need help.
Ariana smiled at his words.
-You are very close, he is always worried about you.
-Wash your hands, have they called the movers yet? -Albina said.
-Yes, they will be here soon.
Ariana washed her hands and went out into the living room with Albina, looking at the house she had lived in for months, many of the places were decorated by her, and now when she looked at it again it was a little unfamiliar to her.
She looked a little dazed.
-It’s time to move in and I realize I’m not very familiar with this house.
After taking down everything she had decorated, the house seemed to have changed, and her strangeness made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Albina looked at her quietly, and seeing that there was no particular amount of longing in her eyes, she was relieved to take her arm and lean on her shoulder.
-You have your own home and you chose it yourself. Then we’ll go shopping for decorations and decorate that house. From now on that will be your house, no one will be able to get rid of you, and you can do whatever you want.
Ariana’s heart was filled with hope by what Albina said, her eyes lit up little by little, and she smiled brightly.
The resentment and nostalgia in her eyes vanished.
-Yes, it’s my home, I can make my own decisions.
The two looked at each other and smiled, Ariana was completely relieved.
She still liked Santiago a little, but in a short time, this person would leave no trace in her heart, and she would completely forget about him.
