The days are slowly settling in and Micaela is becoming more and more comfortable in her current position, with Carlos teaching her from a distance so she doesn’t make mistakes…..
Nilson spends his days going back and forth between Ciudad Echave and Ciudad Pesla, and his time with Lluvia is quiet but uneventful, occasionally picking up Lluvia in his arms and kissing her….
The results of Estela and Nilson’s DNA tests were also released and the elders contemplated the report with great satisfaction and were relieved that the future of Pesla City was being followed by someone else.
The women continue to chat with Micaela at regular intervals, and the wheel of friendship is still in place between the two….
Javier took Natalia to Carlos’ company and together they worked on the design and production of the water purification equipment, still handcuffed outside and inseparable, only releasing her when they returned home.
On payday, Natalia eagerly awaited her income, saying it was her first time working for someone and her first paycheck….
As a result, there was no waiting until the end of the day, when the treasurer said:
-I’m sorry, Mr. Aguayo explained to me that you don’t need to be paid.
She is furious and drags Javier to Carlos’s office to reason with him….
Carlos sat down on the couch to change Mike’s diaper without raising his head or the slightest warmth in his voice.
-You eat from Javier, live from Javier, spend from Javier, and your salary is naturally from Javier.
Natalia almost exploded on the spot, so she did a month’s work for free?
She was counting on this money as escape funds and it just got out of hand?
…
With each passing day, the smell of winter is getting stronger….
It was five o’clock in the afternoon when Carlos had finished all his urgent business. Looking up at the darkening sky, the corners of Carlos’ mouth twisted at the thought of the surprise the girl would get when she saw him?
That’s right, he sneaks off to Salamonsa to meet the girl….
Today is her birthday.
The date of her birthday had been irrelevant, but now, it was the reason he was flying to meet the girl!
He didn’t reveal to her over the phone that he was going to meet her, just to surprise her. Every time he saw the video, the girl’s eyes longing to see him, he couldn’t wait to be by her side….
He will probably have to stay in Salamonsa one more day before coming back, one night is too little and too short….
After explaining things to Diego, Carlos took Mike to the penthouse and prepared for the helicopter flight to Salamonsa.
Carlos had managed to get one of Teladia’s helicopters sent to him to facilitate the trip to Salamonsa when he first settled here, and he had talked to Nicolas to fly his helicopter at any time to give him a free hand, and today at last all that was of some use!
-Mr. Carlos…
Diego suddenly called out to him and Carlos turned around.
Diego flashes a smile.
-Happy birthday.
Carlos smiled and nodded his head.
-Thank you.
Then turn around and leave.
He has a joy that only Micaela can give.
As they reached the top floor, climbed into the helicopter and took a seat, Carlos took a deep breath to calm the excitement of being about to meet the girl….
Mike in her arms seems to know he’s going to see his mother soon, and he’s wide-eyed and sleepless, mumbling to himself from time to time….
Carlos pulls out his phone and looks at the location of the girl, who is fine, at home.
They can both reach each other on their phones, but he knows that the girl rarely comes to his location….
The plane took off slowly and Carlos looked out the window at the night scene and mentally said to himself:
-Micaela, I’m coming!
In front of his house, on the Salamonsa side, the yard was big enough for the helicopter to land, and he deliberately chose the smallest model of helicopter….
Finally, after about forty minutes, the plane arrived at the familiar spot and the helicopter descended slowly, with a huge draft that made the trees in the yard rattle and the occupants of other villas rush out to look….
Carlos stared at the front of the house, waiting for the girl to come out….
At that moment, the maids ran out of the house and then Yerma came out as well, all cocking their heads in surprise as the helicopter slowly landed….
The plane stops and Carlos gets off the plane with Mike in his arms, no girl in sight, Yerma approaches with astonished eyes, as if she can’t believe Carlos is here all of a sudden….
-Carlos, what brings you here?
Carlos was full of the girl and his eyes kept looking back inside the house, wondering if he would be in his room if he hadn’t come out, handing Yerma the Mike in his arms.
-I came if I wanted to, Mom, where is Micaela, is she in her room?
Then, without waiting for Yerma’s answer, she strides in….
-Carlos…
Yerma’s voice sounded behind him, Carlos didn’t pay attention to her, he entered the house and looked around, if she wasn’t downstairs, then she must be in the room, he took three steps and headed upstairs….
Carlos’ heart was beating incredibly fast, and although it had only been a month or so since he had seen her, it had been a long half century….
He pushes the door to the room and inside it’s dark….
Carlos froze a little and turned on the lights….
The room is neatly tidy, the air is permeated with her familiar fragrance, but there is no familiar figure….
Is he in the study?
He turned back to the study and pushed the door open, still no sign of the girl….
He pulled out his phone and turned on his location; his number had no signal here, but fortunately, the card he had previously had in Salamonsa still worked and the location showed two small clustered dots….
Turning around, he saw Yerma coming up the stairs with Mike in her arms, with a complicated look on her face….
Carlos strides over and asks, somewhat anxiously:
-Mom, where is Micaela?
-I was about to say what brings you here, Moya left in the afternoon to meet you in Ode Nation and said she wanted to spend your birthday with you and surprise you!
