The next day, Micaela was awakened by a knock on the door, her mind churning to see if her mother was carrying Mike, she unconsciously tried to push Carlos to her side, her hand reached out, but fluttered in vain, opening her eyes, only to find that he was already gone….
Micaela felt the bed where Carlos slept, the sheets were no longer warm, it seemed he was long gone, Micaela’s heart lifted faintly lost, she rested her arms and sat up, she saw the windows from floor to ceiling, from the curtains a faint light was filtering through the slits, it was dawn….
Just as she was about to get up to open the door, she was pushed from outside and Yerma came in.
She had tied back her long hair and was wearing a festive red suit. Her whole person had a kind and generous air about her, and she looked at her daughter with a smile.
Micaela was a little taken aback, wondering if she had noticed that Carlos had come running in last night, and said hurriedly:
-Good morning, Mom.
-It’s late, it’s almost dawn and Carlos is coming to pick you up later!
Micaela’s heart fluttered, yes, in a few hours Carlos would come to pick her up, as the groom, and that little loss of opening her eyes and not seeing him dissipated and was replaced by a joyful expectation….
Today she marries Carlos…
I knew this day would come, but when it did, it still seemed so surreal….
Thinking of Mike, I hastened to ask:
-Mom, where’s Mike, was he good last night?
-Good boy, he got up once to take formula, he’s still awake, grandma is with him, don’t worry.
The blue sky was covered with silky white clouds, and not far away the sun could be seen peeking a little, emitting a golden glow….
Micaela got out of bed and stood next to her mother, looking out the window together at the sunrise. It had been almost a year since she had returned, but it had been a long time since she had stood here to welcome a new day….
-Moya, it’s a beautiful day and the weather is great. Wash up and then I’ll bring up your breakfast, eat and then you can make up and do your look.
Micaela nods gratefully.
She washed up and went out and Alba, Katarina and Bianca approached, Olivia took out her makeup case and got ready to give the look.
After breakfast, the two brides put on their first outfits, big red Chinese dresses with beautiful designs embroidered in very festive and extravagant golden threads.
Olivia begins to prepare them and the two bridesmaids play a secondary role….
While they were getting ready thoroughly, at the other end, the groom and the groomsmen were also taking care of everything….
Carlos and Ernesto put on their straight groom’s suits, their hair immaculately combed and handsome, and their groomsmen stood at their side in high spirits….
The bridal motorcade was ready, a large red Ferrari, not visible to the naked eye, tied with ribbons, flowers and decorated in a particularly festive manner, with a couple of exquisite dolls of the bride and groom standing at the head of the two lead cars.
Not far away there was a video car, filming the whole thing, left over rich people living on this side of the village area, but also for the luxury of the row is amazing….
As is customary in Salamonsa, everything is done according to the rules of Salamonsa, which, fortunately, are not far from those of Anlandana, which after all was the same family hundreds of years ago….
Ernesto bumped his arm against Carlos’ arm, who was next to him, took a deep breath, looked straight ahead with his eyes and asked:
-Nervous?
Anyway, he was nervous and looking forward to the wedding day….
Carlos straightened his fists and also looked straight ahead and answered with sincerity:
-Nervous.
All his emotions of being “nervous” were for Micaela, today was the day he had been fantasizing about for so long, how could he not be nervous, mixed with joy and expectation….
With his hands in his pants pockets, Antonio positioned himself behind Carlos’ left side, with a slight smile curving the corners of his lips as he said lightly:
-Just be nervous.
He thought back to his wedding, when the truth hadn’t come out and he was desperate to marry Katarina and take her home while he feared she would leave him if she found out everything….
Leonardo also approached and nodded at once.
-I was so nervous too, I was so afraid that my father-in-law would back out and marry Olivia out of the blue!
The crowd looked at him suspiciously and said to themselves:
Serves you right!
Tomas has a smile on his lips, remembering Bianca and him, her coming to steal his wedding dressed as a bride and making a confession to him that he may miss for the rest of his life….
Eric was wearing a pink suit, holding up his hand to check the time and then shouting in a squeaky voice:
-Both bride and groom get in the car, the auspicious moment will come soon!
The groom, the best man all got into the car and Carlos looked out, Mateo and Nicolas were both in the courtyard, helping to pick up the bride later, the two were carrying on politely….
Diego started the car and slowly got into gear as Eric gave the order to get out….
Carlos took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement…
Micaela, here I come…
