The next day, Carlos and Yerma accompanied Micaela to familiarize themselves with being Lord Nilson, make a brief delivery, meet the other members of the Council House, and take care of things that had accumulated during…
Micaela is clueless and full of sadness, tomorrow Carlos, Mike, Ernesto, Alba, all her best friends are leaving Salamonsa and she is the only one left here….
Before they had all left, her heart was already as empty as if it had become an empty city, leaving her breathless….
During dinner, everyone was in a very bad mood and looked at Carlos and Micaela with an extraordinarily self-conscious look, wishing that time would stand still so that that couple, who only had each other in their hearts and eyes, would not suffer because of the separation….
The friends also had a thousand words to say to Micaela, but in the end they restrained themselves and went to their respective rooms, leaving them both with time to spare….
Micaela also went back to her room and packed Carlos and Mike’s bags, getting sadder and sadder as tears fell on the clothes in her hands….
Although she said that everything was progressing and had repeatedly told herself to be optimistic and upbeat, she could not be optimistic when faced with saying goodbye, the limited number of times we would see each other and not knowing when we would see each other again….
She and Carlos, who had only spent time with Mike, who was so young and had to be forced to wean, who hadn’t cooked a single meal for Carlos since their marriage and had to be separated to save time for later….
A familiar scent bent toward her and large hands clasped her in their arms from behind….
-Micaela, how can I walk with confidence when you’re like this….
Throughout the day, looking at the girl so sad, she thought no less than a hundred times not to leave, to stay….
But now the situation is clear, she stays here three months, only 25 days left, not enough time to solve the mystery, let alone decipher it, and later she will have problems if she wants to come back….
Micaela let go of the clothes in her hands and turned to his arms, clinging to him, tears hidden in her black shirt, her voice muffled by sobs:
-I’m not relieved that you’re leaving too Carlos, I can’t not be sad, I’m so sad my heart hurts…..
Carlos hugged her so tightly that he wanted to take her inside him and never separate her….
She has no pain…
He was definitely more inseparable from her than he had thought…
Thin lips sought his ear and a magnetic voice sounded:
-Micaela, I love you, I love you, I love you…..
A thousand words in an “I love you”….
He knew his emotions, what he wanted to say, the girl understood….
With the words “I love you”, Micaela’s heart, swollen with grief, began to beat faster, as if all her sadness had been pushed away by her love….
Micaela looked first at Mike asleep on the bed, then ran her hands over Carlos’ cheeks, stood on tiptoe and pressed her red lips against his thin ones, one at a time….
Carlos’ breathing tensed a little, his large hands wrapped around her waist, pulling the girl into his arms, his deep eyes watching her closely….
-Carlos…
-Hmm?
-Hold me…
Carlos bent down, lifted the man and walked to the big bed….
For the first time, his Micaela has asked him, and how to refuse?
The night is still long and will leave his Micaela without energy to lament and sadden….
But even the longest night is always followed by the dawn…
Carlos had not slept all night, the girl was so tired that she fell asleep, he lit the lamp on the bedside table and watched her with his head in his hands, he never tired of looking at her, he wanted to see all future copies for an unknown time….
He prepared formula and fed Mike during the night as soon as he woke up.
It was already dawn.
Carlos carefully got up, got out of bed and washed himself, then took out the prepared soothing incense, lit it and put it on the bedside table, the smoke rose….
This will make the girl sleep better, she will not wake up until the incense is consumed, it is incense, not medicine, it is useful for little girls…..
Looking at the girl’s sleeping face, Carlos’s heart pounded, he sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned over and dropped kisses on her forehead, forehead, cheek and lips….
Picking up his phone, he turned on the recording, looked at her and said slowly:
-Micaela, I’m leaving, I’m sorry I can’t let you see me off at the airport, I can’t leave when I see you sad, I’ll stay in spite of everything…..
Carlos took several deep breaths, threw his head back to hold back the tears, looked at the person on the bed and explained:
-No looking at other men, especially Nilson.
-Take good care of yourself and don’t lose a piece of meat.
-Call me if you miss me, if you miss Mike, I’ll be waiting for you anytime.
Carlos put a hand to his chest, gasping in pain, and tried to continue in his softest voice:
-I’ll let you cry, but pull yourself together later…..
A large hand caressed her tender cheek, and again he lowered his head to kiss her lightly on the lips, tears trickling down his face, spilling the last words on his lips.
-Micaela, wait for me.
Wait for me to meet you, wait for me to take you to our home in Teladia, not a big house, just a place in the Fanslan Quarter where I can see you when I look up….
The world is so big, all I want is you…..
Carlos forced himself to get up, lifted Mike up, picked up the half packed suitcase and opened the door….
Downstairs, everyone waiting in the living room, suitcases packed.
All the women were red eyed, looking behind him, and there was no sign of Micaela….
Matthew walked over and picked up Mike.
Diego also approached and reached out to take the suitcase from Carlos’ hand.
-Mr. Carlos, everything is ready.
Carlos nodded, looked at the group and asked:
-Have you had breakfast yet?
No one is talking…
Who has an appetite for breakfast…?
Carlos did not insist on the subject either, saying:
-Let’s go.
Then he took the lead and went out…
