When the two arrived at the orphanage, they saw the workers coming and going.
Because Carlos had donated two million euros. The whole orphanage was being renovated and rebuilt. Everything was well planned so that it would not affect normal life.
As soon as they entered, the children immediately ran to them.
It had been a long time since they had been back. Seeing the little faces of the children, Micaela relaxed a lot.
The children gathered around her and she said incessantly:
-Micaela, it’s been a long time since you’ve visited us!
-You used to come when you weren’t on TV.
-But you look so pretty on TV!
…
Alba held her iPad in her hand as she recorded the video.
Seeing that all the children seemed to be wearing new clothes today, Micaela got a little curious and asked:
-Did Mom Director buy new clothes for all the children?
-No, a brother gave it to us!
-She brought lots of things and toys!
-And new clothes!
The children hurried to talk, making Micaela suddenly think about who that person was…..
As Mom Director approached from the house, Alba shot up the iPad and pointed it at her, continuing to record as she greeted her:
-Mom Director, long time no see!
-Alba, I haven’t seen you in a year, you look even prettier!
-Ha ha ha, you’re getting younger and younger!
Alba smiled in response, causing Mama Director to smile even more.
-Thank you! Do you want to go abroad again?
Alba smiled and replied:
-Yes, instead of studying, I’m going to play, eat, and enjoy myself well!
-Ha ha ha, you’re as naughty as ever,” she looked at Micaela and added, “You’re so nice. You’ve taken care of the orphanage for so many years, and you’ve spent so much money on it.
Micaela said with a happy smile:
-The children’s happiness is my greatest joy.
Mama Director pulled Micaela to sit on a side swing, and Alba continued to record the video, turning around to record the surroundings and the affectionate children
around Micaela….
-Micaela, do you remember who the children were talking about just now? -asked Mama Director.
-Is it Javier?
Mama Director smiled and nodded:
-He used to come with you when you were in high school, and then, even though he left the country, he was still just like you, and he used to call my account from time to time. He’s such a nice boy.
Alba, who was standing off to the side, suddenly pressed pause and saved the video.
-Speaking of which, Micaela, if you hadn’t met Mr. Aguayo, I sincerely believe that you and Javier would have made a very suitable couple.
Alba couldn’t help but laugh.
Micaela was a little surprised and shook her head hurriedly:
-Mom Principal, you’ve misunderstood. We’re just classmates….
“Fate is like that, when it’s time to meet, it will happen naturally.”
“Besides, Micaela is now with Mr. Aguayo, and I can see that he loves her very much, so I’m happy with him too.”
“It’s just that when Javier came yesterday, everything he said was around Micaela. It’s obvious that he loves her. All three of them, which one of them, he doesn’t want to be hurt…”
***
Micaela and Mama Director were preparing lunch, the kids were busily helping, and Alba was holding her iPad taking videos.
As lunch was being served, Micaela’s phone rang.
The first thing that came to her mind was if it was Carlos calling, but it was Javier.
A faint loss rose in her heart, but she picked it up anyway:
-Micaela, have you eaten yet?
-Not yet…
-How about if I go get you to eat now? -Javier’s voice was soft and polite.
Yesterday’s appointment was at 4 p. m., but he couldn’t contain his excitement to see her?
Micaela looked at the children and was looking forward to staying with them, but she had promised her yesterday. So she untied her apron and said:
-Okay. I’ll take a friend with me, okay?
The person on the other end of the phone paused.
“Micaela still doesn’t understand my heart at all…”
-Okay.
After giving the address and hanging up the phone, Micaela said goodbye to the children, who were very reluctant, and one boy with a particularly good memory said aloud:
-Micaela, you said you would bring the handsome brother with you!
-Yes, you didn’t even bring him!
The children said goodbye to her only after she promised to bring Carlos with her next time.
The two got into the car.
Alba bought Micaela on the way a baseball cap and sunglasses to put together before she dared to head to her destination.
-You can’t show your face when you go out, or you’re sure to get mobbed on the street.
Micaela nodded cautiously, thinking about the video she had just shot at the orphanage, and asked:
-Alba, what are you doing recording so many videos?
Alba looked at Micaela and raised an eyebrow:
-You know!
Micaela was surprised for a moment, she reacted immediately:
-Thanks.
-It’s nothing! Remember to pay me on time.
They both smiled at each other after saying that.
The place Javier had chosen was quiet and secluded.
They went inside and reported the room number Javier had reserved, and the waiter led them there.
As they pushed open the door, Javier was already standing in front of the window.
Micaela casually took off her hat and tousled her hair. Since she had just been at the orphanage, she had pulled her hair into a ponytail to make it easier to prepare the ingredients. When he got up this morning, because he was in a hurry, he was wearing only a sport style suit. She really had the typical high school look….
Javier looked at her in a daze. At that moment, he sat down at her back table and what he saw most was her back, her long hair combed with the lingering, faint fragrance…
