The next morning, Dulcina Calvo is forced to go on a blind date.
She first put on a random dress and was grabbed again by Mother Dulcina, who selected a more feminine dress from her closet and insisted that she put it on before letting her go.
When Dulcina Calvo got into her car, she hesitated to call Esteban Zaragosa, and when she decided to do so, the phone was still switched off.
How could someone’s phone, turned off in broad daylight, not … have knocked her out, right?
A pang of annoyance invades Dulcina Calvo at the thought.
When she arrived at the address of her blind date, Dulcina Calvo continued chatting absentmindedly with the other person.
This time, the date was much more normal, he didn’t ask any questions and invited Dulcina Calvo to the movies.
It is a science fiction film.
Dulcina Calvo is disconnected at all times and is boring to watch.
As they left the theater, the matchmaker seemed to have held back a lot and finally asked, “Miss Dulcina, did your family force you to come? I see you have been distracted”.
“Er … no, I just haven’t been in the best shape lately.” Dulcina Calvo scratched her head awkwardly and apologized.
The matchmaker smiled, reached out and pushed his glasses over the bridge of his nose and said, “It’s okay, I can understand, a young woman your age must resist matchmaking, being young, it’s understandable.”
The atmosphere was a bit awkward and Dulcina Calvo was about to say “I’ll buy you dinner” when the other man already said, “Miss Dulcina, since you’re not interested, I think we should stop wasting time and go our separate ways.”
Although it was not a very pleasant scene, Dulcina Calvo thought to herself that it was good that at least she had not asked for it and that she would have something to tell her mother when she returned home.
“Okay, then.”
As Dulcina Calvo turned to leave, the man standing behind her on the blind date suddenly called out to her, “Miss Dulcina.”
Dulcina Calvo turned her head and looked at him suspiciously, “Mr. Jerardo, is there anything else?”.
The matchmaker pulled out the two movie tickets from earlier and handed her one of them, “Since we can’t go, I think we should AA the money for the movie tickets.”
“…”
Dulcina Calvo threw a hundred dollar bill straight out and walked away without looking back.
Men today, why are they all so strange?
When you’re on a blind date, you’re so cheap you can’t even afford the movie ticket – no wonder you can’t find a girlfriend!
Dulcina Calvo snorted and WhatsApped the strange to Estrella Berrocal.
Estrella Berrocal did not take long to answer him with a few hahaha.
…
La Villa Rouco, Estrella Berrocal was painting with Paulita today Saturday and was about to burst out laughing when she received this WhatsApp from Dulcina Calvo.
It is so overwhelming, what a date, horrible.
Paulita asked curiously, “Estrella, what are you laughing at?”.
“Laughing at a stingy ghost.”
Adán Rouco came down from the upstairs studio and saw Estrella Berrocal clutching her cell phone and smiling.
This woman, with whom you are talking to, is so happy.
He walked over and sat down next to her, “smiling so happily.”
Estrella Berrocal handed him her phone so he could look at it: “Look, Dulcina, the blind date, she’s so weird she even wants AA for movie tickets.
“What is Dulcina Calvo doing on a blind date?”
The impression is that Esteban Zaragosa seems to have reconciled with Dulcina Calvo.
Speaking of this, Estrella Berrocal sighed, “Her mother has never approved of her being with Esteban Zaragosa and she constantly sets up blind dates for Dulcina, so I don’t know what they should do. I’ve heard Dulcina say that she still can’t get in touch with Esteban Zaragosa’s people, but I mean this doctor Esteban is really something, I used to think he was quite reliable, why is he always so unreliable now, he always drops the ball when it’s important.”
Adán Rouco’s brow tinged with a faint smile as he watched her whine and sputter, “You worry about other people’s relationships, you have time to worry more about me.”
Estrella Berrocal looked at him crossly, “How I don’t care about you anymore.”
Adán Rouco looked at her tenderly and lifted her up, while Estrella Berrocal murmured: “What for? I’m painting with Paulita. ”
“You go to maternity today and forget?”
“Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the main event.”
Adán Rouco reached out his hand and rubbed Paulita’s little head: “You draw her, I’m going to the hospital with Estrella, Grandpa and Felipa are at home”.
Paulita nodded willingly and urged them to follow like little adults, “Go ahead, boys.”
…
When she arrived at the hospital and lay down on the examination bed, Estrella Berrocal was still a little nervous.
Every pregnant woman fears that her child will be unhealthy.
She took several deep breaths and the doctor operating on her seemed to sense her nervousness and said, “Relax, take it easy”.
It wasn’t until after the ultrasound that Estrella Berrocal nervously asked, “Doctor, is there nothing wrong with the baby?”.
The doctor who operated on him, didn’t say much, she just said, “Take the film to the doctor, there may be something wrong.”
Estrella Berrocal picked up the film and left the ultrasound room with a look of slight panic.
Adán Rouco approached her with his long legs and frowned slightly when he saw that she didn’t look well, “What’s the matter, don’t you feel well?”
Estrella Berrocal shook her head, “I don’t know, it might be a bit problematic.”
“Go see a doctor.”
…
When we got to the doctor’s office, he looked at the film, frowned and said, “Something is wrong, the baby is a little out of position.”
Estrella Berrocal had never been in that situation, nor had she experienced it when she was pregnant with Paulita, and her heart immediately raced, almost up to her throat. “Doctor, what’s wrong, is something going to happen to the baby?”.
The doctor reassured her again, “Don’t worry too much, fetal malposition, it is a problem that occurs in many pregnant women, this is not serious for you since the ultrasound, but you should pay more attention to it. Also, take regular walks, and if you have time, I suggest you enroll in a yoga for pregnant women, it will help you a lot to correct the fetal malposition.”
…
Once outside the hospital and in the car, Adán Rouco was about to start it when he noticed that the little woman sitting in the passenger seat had red eyes.
Adán Rouco froze: “What is it?
“Adam, I’m afraid.”
Pregnant women are sensitive and paranoid, and Adán Rouco takes Estrella Berrocal in his arms and sits her down, his big hands gently caressing her round belly, saying, “I won’t let anything happen to you. Don’t be afraid. Didn’t the doctor say it wasn’t serious? We’ll go home and take regular walks”.
“The doctor said there’s still maternity yoga to do.” Estrella Berrocal wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and murmured a reminder.
“Oh and maternity yoga, I’m going to get Santino Yepes to sign you up for a maternity yoga class right now, you just need to pay more attention to it and it will turn out well.”
Adán Rouco patiently calmed her down, kissed her forehead and sighed again: “Don’t cry, it’s my fault for not having accompanied you, I thought pregnant women should lie down and rest, I didn’t know they needed to exercise. Let’s go now to the bookstore to read all about what pregnant women should take care of. It’s all my fault for not taking care of you and my sweetie. ”
“Adam, just the way you are, I will depend on you more and more.”
“What’s wrong with dependence, it is right for a wife to depend on her husband.”
Estrella Berrocal, who had been in a somber mood, became much better again and curved her lips toward him.
