-Antonio, won’t you give me a kiss?
Katarina demanded, steeling herself, her watery eyes looking at Antonio with just the slightest tinge of pleading.
Antonio got a lump in his throat and reached up to lift her hand, bringing his thin lips to her ear, smelling her hair, satisfied, because the guilt was about to overwhelm him.
-Dear…
Katarina stood up and wrapped her arms around Antonio’s neck, her eyes lifted in a mist of water.
How long had it been since he had called her with such affection?
How Antonio wanted to return her embrace with strength, some emotion that cried out to be suppressed by her strength, that would kill him the day she discovered the truth!
Releasing her, he kissed her forehead.
-Go, Micaela is waiting for you.
Disappointed, Katarina let go of him and turned to get out of the car.
Looking through the car window at Antonio, who was pulling his suitcase and walking with Micaela towards the airport, she raised her hand and hit her chest twice hard where her heart was, trying to repress the pain….
“Katarina, how much I want to love you and be with you, even if it’s hell, it’s still heaven, but when you know the truth, will you get upset and leave me? All just because I love you…”
When they arrived at the Catyblaca Nation and ran into the models walking together in the hotel lobby, Micaela quickly learned what Carlos was referring to, because, well, Moises was here!
-Micaela, I really didn’t expect you to be part of this show!
Moises was very excited to see Micaela, his deep blue eyes shone with light, and he controlled not to approach her and hug her….
Eric wouldn’t let him have that opportunity either!
Mr. Aguayo was very direct in his orders not to let any male get close to his wife.
Eric said weakly:
-Mr. Aguayo, I am, I am a male too…..
Mr. Aguayo’s voice became agitated.
-Out.
Worrying about him, he might as well worry about that woman Alba, if she were Micaela, would the girl want her…..
Eric was speechless.
While Micaela heeded Carlos’ instructions and didn’t look at any of the men, Carlos simply ignored Micaela’s instructions, the no late night thing, and stayed at work!
Micaela’s scent is everywhere in Barrio Fanslan, but she can’t be seen anywhere….
Nyisrenda’s house is very big, but Micaela’s smell is faint, and ‘he doesn’t want to go back even more….
Staring at the endless business in front of him, Carlos’ mind filled with images of the last time the girl sat in his arms. It had only been less than 24 hours since they had parted, and he was already thinking of her like this….
For the first time in his life, Carlos felt the urge to despise himself.
“Carlos, you’re useless! Stop thinking about her and get to work.”
Within three minutes, he picked up his phone and sent a video call to the girl….
Micaela got up quickly, her face was beaming with joy, and Carlos couldn’t take his eyes off her….
-Carlos, I’ve seen Alba and Ernesto, it’s snowing here, it’s beautiful, I’ll show you….
It looks like a park somewhere, the snow is illuminated by colored lights….
-No! Don’t change the camera,” Carlos ordered loudly.
Micaela paused, vaguely aware of what he was going to say, everyone was here, she wanted to tell him not to say anything, but it was too late, Carlos’ deep voice came out.
-I just want to look at you.
There was a shiver and Micaela disappeared from the picture as Alba’s arrogant voice came in.
-Mr. Aguayo, you have to stop being so clingy, Micaela is mine for a few days, don’t come to fight for the favor!
Then his voice could be heard walking away.
-Micaela, Katarina, come on, let’s build a snowman, I have lots of accessories!
Carlos gasped, and Ernesto appeared in the picture, looking at Carlos sitting in his office, and laughing.
-Carlos, Micaela and Alba haven’t seen each other for a long time, talk to her later?
Carlos’ cold voice rang out.
-Turn the camera.
“What?”
Ernesto was a little puzzled….
-Who wants to see you, I want to see my wife!
Ernesto choked and freaked out. He threatened in a nasty tone.
-Carlos, I’m going to hang up the video call right now, believe it or not.
Carlos growled.
-I’ll transfer Javier back right now, do you believe it or not?
Ernesto relented in a second and immediately adjusted the camera and pointed it at Micaela.
-Dude, I was wrong, don’t hesitate, I’m your cell phone holder!
Satisfied, Carlos looked at Micaela on the screen, dressed in a black fitted down jacket, gloves, a red scarf, she was happily frolicking with Alba, who smashed a snowball on her back and she immediately took out a snowball in return, then Katarina joined the fray….
Ernesto recorded the video and found it so boring that he wanted to join in to build a snowman….
-Carlos, it’s a multinational video call, the traffic costs a lot of money…
Halfway through, Carlos’ voice came, but not to him.
-Diego, charge Micaela’s phone with 100. 000.
Ernesto’s face was full of surprise.
“Well, of money, whatever you want…”
Micaela was unaware that this was how the man who loved her so much was watching his videos while he was minding his own business….
Carlos was on his fourth day at the office, looking at the calendar, thinking that Micaela would be back tomorrow and the hard five days would finally be over….
The show was live and Carlos had the TV on early in the morning, minding his own business and following the taped material on the show.
It was a very big catwalk show and it was attracting famous models from all over the country, and his little girl was not lacking in fame and at first she was not going to go to the fashion show, but Ernesto told her that they would be there too, and to make her happy she changed her mind.
The television was now showing an aerial image of the outside of the venue.
Carlos glanced at it and saw that it was indeed very large, the largest indoor studio in Catyblaca Nation, with a distinctive design that resembled a bird spreading its wings and flying into the sky.
Carlos observed the unique shape of the room and guessed where in the room his girl was….
When he looked at the time, there was still half an hour to go before the show, and later there would be a backstage video, Carlos picked up his phone with the corners of his mouth turned up as he watched the video screen.
It was Eric’s, the backstage footage could be seen in advance. Carlos picked it up, Eric is very good at pointing it directly at Micaela, only to see Micaela sitting in front of the makeup mirror, wearing a gold dress, the dress is half strapless, but half of the dress is covered with mesh, the shoulder hidden, very attractive…. …
Carlos remembered the feel of those rounded shoulders, she had her eyes closed and let the makeup artist make up her eyes, slightly tilting her head, looking at the girl’s white neck and slender as a swan, Carlos’ throat lump slid up and down ….
Suddenly, the image was cut off!
Carlos felt a sharp pain in his heart, he couldn’t breathe, he unconsciously looked towards the TV and saw that the beautiful studio had collapsed.
