As if sensing Albina’s confusion, the woman reached over, grabbed her wrist, and assessed her up and down with surprise, especially her eyes.
-Of course you don’t know me. It was I who proceeded with your divorce papers a year ago. At that time, you were still blind? -the woman said, giving a sigh.
The woman was very impressed with Albina and Umberto.
Not to mention the fact that they were so recognizable by their looks, the two of them were in a different state than the others when they filed for divorce papers.
And she could tell that they were still in love with each other when she did the papers and could not understand why they had reached the heights of getting divorced.
At that time, Albina, who was still blind, sat across from her and shook nonstop when she signed, which she felt very sorry for.
She even made a bet with a colleague of hers that these two would definitely remarry, and her colleague did not believe her.
The woman had been waiting for them for a long time, but they didn’t show up. She almost forgot about them, but unexpectedly today, she ran into them at the registry office.
The woman glanced at the certificates in the couple’s hands and said in a cheerful voice:
-You have remarried! I got it right! How nice!
She patted the back of Albina’s hand with a loving look, then looked at Umberto and said:
-You have to be happy in the future and don’t get divorced anymore for trivial things. Possibly, love may wear out in everyday life, but you must learn to appreciate it when you still have it.
Umberto and Albina exchanged a look with eyes full of happiness and love.
-Thank you, I promise you that we will be happy for the rest of our lives,” Albina said smiling at the woman.
The woman looked at Umberto again, and only then she noticed that he was wearing the same color as the girl’s dress, and she was quite surprised.
She still remembered that a year ago, this man was dressed in a black suit, and looked stern and indolent, radiating an air that gave people a lot of pressure.
However, now he wore a matching suit with the girl and had a gentle smile when he was with her. Anyone could tell that this man loved her very much.
The woman nodded reassuringly and was about to leave when Umberto suddenly called out to her and handed her a small bag of candy from the purse he was carrying.
-These are our wedding sweets.
Albina glanced at Umberto in amazement and said:
-When did you prepare the candies? Let me see what else is in your bag.
After saying that, she walked over to Umberto, rummaged through her purse, and was very excited to see that the large purse was full of wedding candy.
Umberto coughed slightly with some embarrassment and said:
-I just want to share our happiness with the others.
Looking at his shy face, Albina smiled slightly, then unexpectedly wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
Umberto froze for a moment as he felt the soft touch on his lips, and couldn’t help but draw a happy and satisfied smile.
Since they were in a public place, the two parted quickly after a brief kiss, but still drew a lot of attention from the crowd.
The woman, who had just spoken to them, seeing the two being so affectionate, shook her head as she squeezed the wedding sweets in her hand while muttering to herself:
-Oh, young people are really open. It seems I’m already too old for this era.
Then, she turned to Umberto:
-Boy, give me more of those candies. I want to share your happiness with my colleagues.
Umberto and Albina laughed and gave her some more bags of candy.
After the woman left, the couple headed for the door, holding hands and with expressions so happy that it was contagious to the people in the lobby.
When Umberto left the Registry Office, he let Albina wait in the shade of a tree, while he, his face brimming with happiness, handed out candies to every person he met.
Passersby accepted them gladly and Albina was very happy watching the scene.
When there were only a few bags of candy left in the bag, Umberto suddenly stopped handing them out and took Albina to the car.
Once they were seated, Umberto turned on the air conditioning, wiped the thin sweat from Albina’s forehead and asked:
-Are you still feeling hot?
-No, it’s already quite refreshing with the air conditioner running,” Albina replied.
Seeing that the man started the car, she asked:
-Now are we going back home?
Umberto smiled mysteriously and said:
-Before we go back home, let’s go somewhere first.
The man’s look was a bit strange, as if he was planning something malicious. For her part, Albina didn’t ask any more questions. After all, she would know when she arrived.
As time passed, the scenery outside the window became more and more familiar to Albina. She finally knew where the man was going and showed a helpless face.
Soon enough, the car arrived in the neighborhood where the Espina family was located. As she got out of the car, Albina looked at Umberto and said:
-Umberto, do you want to show off so much?
In this neighborhood, the only ones they knew were Macos and Ariana. Without a second thought, Albina could guess Umberto’s real intentions!
Seeing that she discovered his purpose, Umberto embarrassedly rubbed his nose, smiled and said:
-I’m not boasting. I just want to share our happiness with him. Maybe, with our happiness, he will be able to find his true love quicker.
Albina stood still and stared at him without blinking.
Umberto, a little embarrassed by her sharp gaze, took her by the shoulders and led her into the neighborhood.
-Well, let’s go in now and give them our candy. We have to go back home later and tell this good news to my parents and grandfather,” the man hurried her.
So the two of them walked to Macos’ house and knocked on the door.
After a few moments, footsteps were heard from inside and the door opened. Macos was surprised for a moment to see the two and asked:
-Why have you two come so suddenly?
Albina looked at Umberto without good humor and said:
-Go ahead, now it’s your time to act.
At these words, Macos looked at Umberto with bewilderment.
Umberto drew a slight smile and said proudly:
-We have come to share with you some good news.
“Good news?”
Macos was in disbelief. Seeing Umberto’s proud look, he felt that it might be good news for the two of them, but definitely not for him.
Sure enough, the next second, Umberto pulled out the two marriage certificates and showed them to Macos as he bragged.
-Look, Albina and I have obtained our marriage certificates. I’m sure you’ll be very happy for us, won’t you?
Macos showed an indifferent expression, looked at him slightly and said in an unconcerned voice:
-Yes, of course I am very happy for you.
Albina stood to the side and mentally said to herself:
“I don’t see a hint of joy on your face.”
At this moment, the door to Ariana’s room opened. And when she saw the two of them, she drew a smile on her cold face.
-I heard someone talking outside and thought I’d go out and take a look. It turns out it’s you!
After saying that, she glimpsed the certificate in Umberto’s hand, froze, looked at Albina and asked in surprise:
-You…?
-Yes, we got married again – Albina said smiling and rushed to hug her -We got our certificates today!
