Micaela and Katarina couldn’t help but laugh, and the mood lightened considerably.
Micaela said seriously.
-I see that you love him very much, you should talk it over with him, you’re both married, what can’t you talk about?
Katarina nodded and looked at the ring on her hand for a long moment before saying.
-I asked her.
The two girls were immediately curious and asked:
-What did he say?
Katarina fiddled with her ring and said slowly:
-She said, Katarina, wait a little longer, you just have to know that I love you.
“Wait?”
Alba said indifferently:
-What are you waiting for? You are already married, what’s the point of waiting for the next step, we have to choose another auspicious day?
Micaela was a little tearful and Katarina laughed, looked at them and said:
-He says he loves me, but why doesn’t he touch me? I can’t help but wonder if he really loves me. Or, is it really my condition that he loves? I even wondered if he didn’t like women?
Alba asked directly:
-Katarina, don’t mind you, I’m just casually asking, is he out with another woman?
Katarina shook her head with unmistakable certainty:
-No, never, I can assure you.
The three girls were silent.
Antonio had been pursuing Katarina for a long time, this Micaela had heard him talk about it when she was designing her wedding ring. For three years, he was never out of line, never had another woman, and now all married and still modest, it didn’t make sense.
Micaela thought for a long time and asked:
-Do you really think he doesn’t love you?
Katarina is a little confused:
-No, apart from the fact that he doesn’t touch me, everything he does, shows that he loves me a lot and it is because of these little details in my life that I love him more and more…..
Alba nodded her head:
-Then it’s love for you. Love for someone is most evident in the details of life. Maybe, he really has something to suffer that he can’t say, and then you can be patient and wait.
That’s what Alba’s experience said.
Ernesto always thought Alba was an idiot that he had to worry about everything, but she was not. When she was away studying, she did everything on her own. But the fact that he was willing to worry about you and think of everything for you before you thought of it was the best proof of loving someone.
Micaela reflected for a while and said slowly:
-He must have loved you very much, only he couldn’t touch you for some indescribable reason. But even if he can’t touch you, he wants to marry you and put you in a place where he can see you every day, don’t you feel very excited? If he doesn’t love you, he doesn’t need to bother about anything, directly? In short, he doesn’t touch you because he loves you.
In the past, Carlos was the same way.
At that time she did not come out of the shadows of the past, every time she moved a little too much, the back of her neck ached, defiantly pushing him away, but even though this was repeatedly rejected, he still insisted on sleeping with her….
Both Katarina and Alba were silent as Micaela continued.
-To love and not be able to have him, and to have him and not be able to have him completely, are both painful, and to look at you every day and not even be able to kiss you is, in his heart, ten thousand times more painful than you.
Katarina was truly moved by what she heard:
-Micaela, thank you, it makes me feel so much better to hear you say that, it’s not that I’m suffering, he is too. I should be more patient, when he takes the initiative to tell me what it is due to, he and I, we can definitely be a real couple.
Micaela nods her head.
-Yes, Katarina, happiness may come a little late, but it will come. Being married is not necessarily the beginning of happiness, it may just be the beginning of the next test, and as long as you truly love each other, later on, it can definitely blossom.
“Happiness may come a little late, but it will come…”
Alba echoed the words for a long time before saying:
-Micaela, since when did you become a poetess?
Micaela froze for a moment, also a little surprised that she was able to say these axioms out loud.
Katarina felt much more cheerful. After all, she was only worried that Antonio didn’t love him, and now that she was undoubtedly safe, she felt relieved.
Katarina looks at Alba and asks her curiously.
-Alba, you and Ernesto, are you close to something good?
Micaela also asked immediately:
-What do you feel for him now?
Alba didn’t hide anything either, and her tone was a bit helpless and a bit spontaneous:
-Micaela, maybe you were right last time, I really don’t want to admit that I like him because I’m afraid that if I do, I’ll forget him. I like being close to him and I am happy with him. I want this feeling to be something that lasts forever.
Katarina was a bit puzzled and Micaela briefly explained about her face blindness and Katarina immediately said:
-I met someone with exactly the same symptoms as you when I was abroad!
Both Micaela and Alba were surprised, and Micaela immediately got excited and asked:
-How is she? Did she see a doctor and get better, or did she meet true love and never forget it?
Katarina looked at their expectant reactions and, somewhat regretful for bringing up the subject, said vaguely:
-Well, yes, after meeting true love, there is no forgetting.
Alba snorted with mixed feelings.
The only person she likes and won’t forget is Carlos, but she and Carlos are impossible, and she has let go and looked the other way.
“So just be nice to Ernesto…”
However, Micaela looked at Katarina with a slight gleam in her eye and had a bad feeling in her heart….
The three of them chatted until after nine o’clock, when they parted and went home separately.
Alba and Micaela returned to Barrio Fanslan.
Micaela washed up and immediately took out her phone to send a message to Katarina.
-Katarina, you just talked about the stranger at dinner and he didn’t turn out to be what you said he was, did he?
Katarina never responded.
Micaela opened Carlos’ dialog box, he was very quiet today, he hadn’t even texted.
The previous nights he had sent video calls and Micaela knew that Carlos must have worked late again to be able to come back tomorrow.
The normal thing was to come back only the day after, but the day after that she would be going to Fracimon Nation….
Micaela still could not resist sending him a message.
-Carlos, don’t stay late, rest early.
He quickly replied:
-Good girl, you sleep first.
“You must be busy again!”
Micaela was thinking about taking tomorrow off and cooking something suitable for late nights for him….
Then, Micaela fell asleep, but in mid-sleep, she felt herself pulled into a familiar embrace and immediately reached over and hugged him tightly, murmuring.
-Carlos, I miss you so much…..
Then she felt the familiar lips on her forehead and the low voice in her ear.
-Micaela, I’m back….
Micaela only thought she was dreaming, thinking she was so crazy about Carlos that she even dreams about him…
