His words made Micaela stop worrying and then he asked her:
-How did you know it was me?
-By intuition.
Micaela blushed slightly when she heard that.
-Did you miss me a lot? -Carlos asked her.
Micaela looked embarrassed at Alba who was also looking at her with a curious expression. Alba guessed that she must be talking to Carlos on the phone. After all, only he could make her show that expression.
Alba concentrated on driving and did not look at Micaela fearing her envy would be discovered by Micaela…..
-Carlos, when are you coming back? Micaela asked him.
Not hearing what she wanted, Carlos felt a little dissatisfied, but he also knew that it must be Alba was there, so Micaela felt embarrassed to say it. So he had to answer her question first.
-Honey, things are a little complicated here. Grupo Aguayo was framed and is likely to bankrupt my brother and father.
-It’s so serious!
Micaela was very surprised, Alba looked at Micaela’s reaction and also wanted to know what was going on.
-So, do you have a solution? -Micaela asked.
-They have already found a way.
Micaela just wanted to say that this is good as she heard Carlos continue saying.
-It’s for Tomas to marry the daughter of the mayor of Salamentro.
-But what about Bianca?
“Was it to be a commercial marriage?”
-This is too cruel for Tomas, isn’t it? He obviously likes Miss Bianca,” Micaela said.
-You don’t want Tomas to marry another woman, do you? -Carlos asked her.
-Of course.
-There is another way.
-What?
Carlos said a few words like a bomb.
-I married the mayor’s daughter.
-No!” Micaela said out loud without hesitation.
Carlos laughed for a while and said:
-Honey, I really want to see you now.
Micaela knew he had deceived her, so she asked him:
-You lied to me, didn’t you?
-Yes.
With a face of bitterness and hatred, Micaela slandered in her heart.
“Carlos is a bad man…”
-Slandering me in your heart, right?
With a start, Micaela denied:
-No!
Carlos is happier and kindly gives her the answer:
-You don’t have to worry, I have a solution, it’s just ….
Carlos deliberately pauses for a moment, and Micaela hurries:.
-Just what?
Micaela was very anxious, but Carlos stammered which made Micaela panic.
Carlos finished his sentence immediately:
-It’s just that what could have come back today will have to be delayed a few more days.
Micaela was actually feeling a little sad….
It turned out that she needed him so much that she was not used to not seeing him for a few days. But she knew the importance of the matter, so she said:
-It’s fine with me, come back when you’ve taken care of things.
-I’ll wait for you at home… -Micaela added.
Carlos wanted to return to her side immediately when he heard the words and only after a while he asked:
-Do you like the gift?
Micaela remembered the two pianos and nodded:
-I like it, only it’s too expensive…..
Carlos was very happy to hear her say that she liked it and said:
-Come back and play for me.
-Okay…
-My phone is out of battery, I’ll contact you later.
-Okay, bye.
Micaela reluctantly hung up the phone.
Alba suddenly asked her.
-Is it very happy to be in love?
Micaela looked at Alba and thought about her strange facial blindness, she couldn’t help but feel very sorry for her:
-Next time I go to Fracimon Nation you should come too, maybe the foreign doctors have a way to cure you.
When Barrio Fanslan arrived, Alba parked the car, slumped over the steering wheel and said in a slightly lost voice:
-I went to see one when I was abroad, but it didn’t do any good.
Micaela reassured her by saying:
-Maybe all those people you used to forget you didn’t really like. When one day you meet someone you really like, maybe you won’t forget that person!
Alba remembered something and answered Micaela:
-I found out I have that sick girl when I was in high school. One day I went to have my fortune told and the fortune teller said the same thing as you.
Micaela was a little surprised:
-Really? It’s so romantic, it can totally be used as a way to identify true love.
Alba was suddenly filled with a feeling of guilt.
“Why talk to her about this?”
She was blatantly in love with her boyfriend, but did she still have the nerve to talk to him like this?
Alba adjusted her mood and said to Micaela:
-I just want to ask you, what’s it like to be in love?
-Very happy, everything he does and says matters a lot to me. It’s only been a day since we’ve seen each other, but it seems like a long time, I love his closeness, his smell….
Micaela stopped for a while and went on to say:
-I only love Carlos, I don’t like the touch of the others. When I was with Marcos, at most I would hold my hand and let him kiss my forehead. But with Carlos, I never hated everything he did, but became more and more addicted to him.
In Alba’s mind, Micaela’s screams echoed fiercely at that moment….
She shook her head hard and commanded herself not to think about that incident….
-What’s wrong with you? -asked Micaela with concern.
Alba took a deep breath and unbuckled her seat belt:
-Nothing, come on.
