Leonardo’s heart cringed and he told himself that Olivia had made the right decision, to be sensible, that her course was important and he couldn’t interrupt it…..
He withdrew his hand, picked up the bag and slung it over his shoulder.
Olivia said again into the phone that she knew and hung up, looking at Leonardo.
Leonardo tries to stay calm.
-Come on, it’s time to get to the airport.
Olivia’s mood was increasingly despondent as he dutifully led her out of the hotel.
There is some distance between the hotel and the airport and a cab ride there leaves little time.
All the way there, Leonardo held her hand tightly, glancing at her from time to time as if he couldn’t get enough of her, trying to burn her into his brain, but it was clear that she was already burned into….
Olivia was also becoming increasingly distressed, standing in the waiting room as Leonardo lifted her up and kissed her on the forehead.
-Olivia, don’t get too close to that Daniel…..
He was at Olivia’s last New Year’s Eve, and what she said to Daniel on the phone in front of him, even though Olivia told him later it was done on purpose, he still couldn’t stop being jealous and knew the stranger must like his Olivia….
Olivia’s forehead rubbed against his chest.
-Good.
In the middle of the day, look at him.
-Leonardo, how are you and your mother…?
-I didn’t go back to that house, didn’t pay attention to him, didn’t call his mother and didn’t bother much after staying a while.
Olivia was a little anxious, resting her small hands on his chest.
-It must not be so, Leonardo, you must not bear the guilt of being ungrateful because of me, don’t let mother and son both…..
-I have reconciled with her and soon she will arrange a blind date for me… -No!
-No! You can’t go.
Olivia’s small hands resting on his chest immediately grabbed him by the shirt, with a touch of anxiety and more than a hint of jealousy on her face.
Leonardo was instantly satisfied and tightened his arms around her.
Olivia didn’t hesitate to explain.
-Leonardo you are not allowed to go on a blind date, go out with another woman or touch… -Leonardo,” she said.
Leonardo slipped away and kissed her directly on the lips, ignoring the travelers coming and going through the airport….
Separations and reunions happen here every day, and such actions are so commonplace that onlookers glance over and quickly avert their eyes….
Olivia responded enthusiastically and only when the announcement of the boarding call sounded over the radio did Leonardo let go of her and, in a muffled voice, looked into Olivia’s misty eyes and assured her.
-I won’t go on a blind date, I won’t date another woman, and I won’t touch another woman, I swear, just until you come back.
Tears of emotion welled up in Olivia’s eyes….
Once again, the radio rushed and she had to leave.
Leonardo hugged her and escorted her to the security entrance.
-Continue.
Olivia’s heart was in her mouth as she took one step back and three steps back until she rounded the corner and saw Leonardo still standing straight….
Leonardo watched unblinkingly as the small figure slowly disappeared, then rounded the corner and was no longer visible….
One moment you are in your arms, the next, you are miles away….
Leonardo felt an overwhelming sense of loss and stood still, not wanting to leave, as a large screen not far away showed Olivia’s flight begin to take off….
He reassured himself thinking that the next appointment would be soon, Carlos and Ernesto’s wedding was a month away, he had survived almost the whole year, let alone just a month….
But it’s still hard on the heart and I feel like I’m going to fall asleep with a hundred times more work than Antonio….
He raised his eyes again to look in the direction Olivia had gone, but his breath came in short gasps and his heart beat faster….
A petite woman in a white T-shirt, blue jeans and a black bandolier was running quickly towards her with a big smile on her face, but tears seemed to be slipping down her cheeks….
Olivia regretted not having gone ahead at the last corner. Leonardo hadn’t said a word to her to stay, but the expression on his face, the strong reluctance emanating from him, how could she not feel it….
She also wanted to be impulsive for once, so that he could be happy….
No matter if she goes to class or not, she wants to go back to the people she loves….
Fearing that if she left too soon, Leonardo would make her board again for her sake, she purposely waited for her one flight to move away before quickly running off, and sure enough, Leonardo was still standing in the same place he had just been, not a step further….
Leonardo watched as Olivia darted in front of him, opening her arms, and with a push, the girl jumped straight into his arms, wrapping her legs around his strong, slender waist….
Leonardo has his hands on her, still a bit incredulous….
With tears in her eyes, Olivia kissed him hard on the cheek.
-Your ex-wife didn’t want to leave you, so she left the plane, are you happy with that?
Satisfied, he’s damned satisfied!
But still anxious about her.
-Olivia, your course is more important, how can you be so capricious?
Olivia instantly looked like she was in fake tears.
-You don’t love me anymore, I come back to you instead and you blame me!
Leonardo’s heart melted instantly, and he turned to walk out the door with her in his arms.
-How not to love, love everything, wife, I have prepared so many shows that I want to spend with you, now let’s go through them one by one.
Olivia is full of joy and nods vigorously.
Everyone around them cast curious glances at them, holding on in that posture, how strange it seems, doesn’t it?
Olivia’s mood is through the roof, what the hell!
Wrapping her arms around his neck, her red lips whispered in his ear.
-Hold on tight, don’t let go of me!
The hot breath on the back of her neck made Leonardo’s breath catch and he tightened his arms even tighter, wishing he could take her back to the hotel right now, but he didn’t, instead he led her towards the park of lights.
One of the most romantic places in Deboma Nation, Carlos and Ernesto took his girlfriend there a few nights ago when they first arrived in Deboma Nation, and Ernesto was proudly showing his friends that he was very envious and planned to take Olivia there when he got back, and to his surprise, half a month later it happened!
It is extraordinarily beautiful there, day and night, and both images can be seen past this hour….
The two, who had been reunited after a long time, were sprinkled with sweetness and laughter all the way, their hands never parted, always firmly embraced, and none of the visitors they came across envied the sweetness between them….
Back at the hotel, it was 8 p. m. and Olivia, who had only eaten a few Deboma Nation specialties in the lighted park, was a bit hungry and sulky.
-Dear ex-husband, are you trying to starve your ex-wife?
Leonardo swiped his card to open the door, but didn’t rush to turn on the lights. He reached around her and pulled her into his arms, his thin lips on hers.
-I wouldn’t want to starve you to death…..
And he led her to the table.
Red wine, candelabras, sumptuous food, set on the table by the window…
