“You don’t need to punish that person. It’s only my fault for getting too emotional and loving him so much! I shouldn’t be getting too emotional and loving him so much.” Lorena began to blame herself.
From Lorena’s words, Professor Hugo could guess the person in question was Alberto. There’s no way the other man Lorena is referring to is anyone other than Alberto. Professor Hugo knows that Alberto and Lorena are dating because Lorena has told him. Hearing that, Professor Hugo couldn’t believe that Alberto could hurt Lorena’s feelings.
He knows that Alberto tried really hard to win Lorena’s love. Alberto often asked Professor Hugo about how to get Lorena’s love. Professor Hugo still remembered the first time he asked Alberto to promise to make Lorena happy and marry Lorena if Alberto became Lorena’s boyfriend later. Alberto made the promise with ease.
Professor Hugo helped Alberto become Lorena’s boyfriend until it happened. Professor Hugo did that because he wanted Lorena to be happy. But he didn’t think that Alberto could hurt Lorena’s feelings just because he met Professor Vega and maybe fell in love with him.
Where is the promise that Alberto once made? Has Alberto forgotten the promise? Does Alberto no longer have feelings for Lorena? Why does Alberto change his attitudes suddenly? Those are the questions for Professor Hugo.
“Does Alberto hurt your feelings?” Professor Hugo confirmed that again.
“Yes, Professor.” Lorena confirmed Professor Hugo’s words.
“How can he hurt your feelings? Would you mind to tell the story, please?” Professor Hugo was curious about how Alberto hurt Lorena’s feelings.
“Yes but I don’t know.” Lorena was confused, and she cried again.
“How can you not know it?” Professor Hugo was confused because, in his mind, Lorena had a problem. So, she knew it.
“There must be a reason for this. There’s always a reason for everything that’s happened in this world.” Professor Hugo felt certain that everything that happens in this world always has a reason.
“I didn’t think that he really loves Professor Vega. I thought he is just being forced by Professor Vega. Turns out, he really loves Professor Vega,” Lorena lamented while she was crying. Not long after, Lorena’s tears began flowing again.
“What do you mean? Doesn’t he really love you, Lorena?” Professor Hugo asked again for Lorena to explain in more detail.
“He’s never been so nice to me like what he has done to Professor Vega.” Lorena lamented.
“So nice? How? What do you mean?” Professor Hugo was confused by Lorena’s words.
“His treatment of Professor Vega is so special. It’s so different with his treatment to me,” lamented Lorena.
“Special? How? What’s so special?” Professor Hugo really had no idea what Lorena meant.
“Nicolas, please tell him!” Lorena asked Nicolas to tell her, because she felt that she couldn’t tell anymore.
“Yes! Please tell me, Nicolas!” After that, Nicolas told me about what happened.
“In fact, he was never that kind to me,” complained Lorena. Then, Lorena told her that sometimes it was difficult to ask Alberto for help.
“That’s so bad! His girlfriend is you. Not Professor Vega. Why is he so mean to you, Lorena?” Professor Hugo was very annoyed with Alberto’s behavior, which he thought had wasted Lorena.
“I don’t know.” Lorena really didn’t know what her fault was that made Alberto turn to her. According to Lorena, she had done nothing wrong.
“Wow! I can’t remain silent in this situation. I’ll punish Alberto!” Professor Hugo immediately bent his face and clenched his palms because he felt very annoyed with Alberto’s behavior.
