The presenter’s jaw dropped.
Micaela also sensed something was wrong and approached with Carlos.
Alba looked at Micaela, then at Carlos and quickly looked away.
-Micaela, I…
Alba’s mind was confused, then Ernesto grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly.
Ernesto became nervous and sad.
Everyone was very confused. “What happened?”
A vague uneasiness also arose in Micaela’s heart.
“Doesn’t Alba remember Ernesto?”
“How could it be so sudden?”
“Or was she playing a joke?”
“But she wouldn’t play a joke like that on an occasion like this!”
Before she had time to react, Micaela heard Alba’s voice:
-Hey, Ernesto, I’m joking with you!
Hearing these words, Ernesto released her and looked at her with eyes full of emotion.
Alba seemed to forget about Ernesto for a moment. Looking at his expression, he was really scared.
-Alba, are you all right? -Ernesto asked uneasily.
Alba gently shook her head, and the hairpin in her hair swayed slightly with the movement:
-I’m sorry…
Ernesto restrained himself from continuing to hold her in his arms.
Micaela breathed a loud sigh of relief, but she also made sure in her mind that it was not a joke on his part. She really almost forgot about Ernesto.
Carlos squeezed her hand and calmed her down:
-It’s okay.
Micaela nodded uneasily.
The program team was confused, thinking that this clip would have to be cut for good.
The host came out to lighten the mood:
-Alba is always so naughty! Congratulations to the five couples who made it through our game – let’s move on to the next part now!
Eric was also relieved. He had just thought that Alba had suddenly lost her memory, because on the big screen, she was looking at Ernesto as if she was looking at a stranger!
The audience felt strange, but didn’t think much of it. Their emotions were carried away by the presenter and their attention was immediately on the next round.
The subsequent segments were all exciting and interesting. The program team did not put all their attention on the pairing of Micaela and Carlos, but all members were treated equally.
Micaela watched the interaction between Alba and Ernesto. They both acted as if what had just happened had never happened. In fact, it was all not to worry about.
Carlos took Micaela’s hand and reassured her:
-It’s okay, don’t worry.
Micaela looked at him and nodded, suddenly wanting to hug him a little. It was as if being in his arms made her less uncomfortable.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Carlos wrapped his arms around her shoulders and held her close.
-Little girl, adjust your mind.
Carlos was a little jealous because Micaela cared so much about Alba.
“Yes, Alba and Ernesto are trying to get over the negative emotions from the accident now, I have to get over it too!”
With this thought alone she got her state correct and returned to the show.
The last part of the game was a game we all enjoyed, which the women got to say and the men got to guess.
There was a lot of laughter. Romina and Moises didn’t understand anything and ended up not guessing a single word correctly.
Ernesto and Alba did well, getting seven of the ten questions right.
Hugo and Coco worked well together, getting half of them right.
Pascual and Albina were a little worse, but one of the questions was especially interesting. When Albina looked at the words on the big screen, she slapped her thighs and said excitedly:
-What animal did you peck at that time we went hiking, and then what dish did you particularly fancy?
Without hesitation, Pascual answered:
-Roast goose!
-Right!
Everyone laughed at this, and the presenter even scoffed:
-Pascual, this is simply a stain on your life!
Finally, it was the turn of Micaela and Carlos, who interacted with particular fluency.
There was a burst of exclamations from the whole audience.
One last question remained.
The big screen behind Carlos showed two words:
I hate you.
Micaela was a bit stunned by the two words. The audience present also burst into laughter after a second, and was extraordinarily excited to see how she expressed herself.
The words in the title could not be mentioned, so Micaela reflected for a moment, looked at Carlos and made a gesture, then said:
-It means that the two people don’t like each other.
The description was very clear and understandable.
Everyone thought it was a super simple question, but Carlos remained silent, looking at Micaela for a long time.
A little surprised, Micaela described it again, and Carlos continued without saying anything. The countdown started, and Micaela was a little anxious.
The audience was also surprised:
-How can Mr. Aguayo not be able to answer?
-It’s all so clear and exposed!
-It’s so simple!
Eric frowned looking askance at the people speaking next to him.
“Mr. Aguayo is a romantic man!”
The presenter was still pressing:
-Mr. Aguayo, please state your answer.
Carlos looked at Micaela tenderly, and spoke slowly:
-I love you.
The whole room was silent. Micaela did not react and said anxiously:
-No, it’s the other way around!
Micaela looked at him with eyes full of expectation.
Carlos repeated with eyes full of seriousness:
-I love you.
Micaela froze…
-My God! Mr. Aguayo is definitely doing it on purpose.
-Mr. Aguayo is too romantic!
-Unbelievable!
The whole audience was talking, amazed by Carlos’ romantic way of expressing himself.
The presenter’s voice rang out:
-Time’s up, wrong answer! Micaela, please tell him the correct answer!
Alba and Ernesto were a bit surprised:
-It seems that the program team is willing to joke with them!
Inwardly happy, Moises said:
-This round is really great, so creative and interesting!
Carlos came a few steps closer, looked at Micaela and asked:
-Tell me, what’s the answer?
Micaela’s eyes were full of tenderness, how could she let him down?
-The answer is, Carlos, I love you.
Carlos was satisfied and kissed her.
-Congratulations, you answered correctly.
