On the afternoon of the second day of the wedding, Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal took Paulita and Lucio to Ciudad del Rey.
On the way, Paulita was chatty and happy, clapping her little hands and saying, “Great, I’m going to see my uncle again! Uncle said that when Paulita goes to Ciudad del Rey, Uncle will take Paulita for the best ice cream!”.
Estrella Berrocal pinched the little girl’s cheeks and said with a smile, “So Paulita is going to be chubby again when she goes to Ciudad del Rey, and the grandparents must have lots of good food waiting for you.”
“No way, people only eat a little of everything!”
Along the way, Adán Rouco listened to his wife and daughter’s chatter with a cheerful mood.
When we arrived in Ciudad del Rey and left the airport, Andreo Fanta’s people came to pick us up.
Cidro Borja opened the door and said with a smile, “Señorita, tía, come on up, the second teacher is a little busy with work at the moment and asked me to take you home first.”
Adán Rouco nodded slightly and got into the car with Estrella Berrocal and Paulita in his arms.
Paulita was a first time visitor to Ciudad del Rey, with big eyes full of curiosity and interest in the city.
The little boy leaned out of the car window, looked out and asked, “Star, is it more fun here than at our house?”
Cidro Borja smiles as he drives and asks the child, “Paulita, what do you like to play with?”.
“I love riding the Ferris wheel and the carousel! Dad said he’d take me on the bumper cars, but I haven’t gone on until now!”
Adán Rouco, hearing his daughter complaining about herself, raised his hand and rubbed the head of the little bundle: “I’ll take you later, huh?”.
Cidro Borja is a tough and feisty person, but he also loves children, especially when Paulita is so cute.
“Auntie, if you’re not free, I can take Paulita to the amusement park to play bumper cars later. ”
Paulita immediately narrowed her big eyes with joy at these words: “Uncle Cidro, I love you very much!
“Uncle Cidro also likes Paulita. ”
Estrella Berrocal, looking at Paulita: “Villain”.
…
There was much conversation and laughter all the way to the villa.
Andreo Fanta had not yet returned from the group and the family stayed with Lupita Vasconcellos and the maids.
Lupita Vasconcellos exercises in the courtyard while waiting for Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal.
As soon as Paulita got out of the car, two little short paws came running, “Grandma!”.
Lupita Vasconcellos looked for the little childish voice and a cute, short figure darted toward her.
When Paulita ran to Lupita Vasconcellos, she bent down and gave Paulita a hug.
Lupita Vasconcellos looked at Paulita with a kind and loving face and asked, “Oh my heart is here, does Paulita miss her grandmother?”
Paulita said thoughtfully, “But Grandma, we just saw each other yesterday and you kissed me several times!”.
“Yesterday was yesterday, today is today, and Grandma misses you especially every day.”
Paulita had her two little arms around Lupita Vasconcellos’ neck, “Paulita misses her grandmother every day too”.
Adán Rouco approaches with Estrella Berrocal and Cidro Borja brings them the suitcases.
Lupita Vasconcellos looked at the couple and said, “Adán, Estrella, why don’t you stay home for a few more days this time you come back, I feel lonely.”
Estrella Berrocal nodded and smiled, “Mom, Adam and I have gone back to visit our relatives this time just to spend some time with you again, and Adam has taken a little vacation.”
Lupita Vasconcellos said with some embarrassment, “That wouldn’t stop Adam from working, would it?”
Adán Rouco smiled slightly and said, “No. Just so I can rest while I’m at it.”
“That’s good, come on, don’t just stand here, let’s all go in!”
…
Estrella Berrocal told Ciri Garzón via WhatsApp shortly after arriving in Ciudad del Rey.
Ciri Garzon also invited Estrella Berrocal and Paulita to join her at the Ciudad del Rey Media University.
It was almost lunchtime when Estrella Berrocal said, “Paulita and I will not eat at home, we will go play with Ciri and then eat in the Ciri University dining room.”
Adam Rouco frowned slightly as he wrapped his large arm around his wife’s waist and said, “It’s only your second day in King City and you’re going to abandon me to go play with your friends?”
Estrella Berrocal looked at him amused, “It’s not that I’m not coming back, what do you mean by leaving, you’ll be in charge of helping me talk to mom at home, I know you and mom are especially good at talking.”
Estrella Berrocal reached out to straighten the collar of Adán Rouco’s shirt.
Paulita also came down from upstairs, put on a little dress and came down slowly, holding on to the stair railing, saying, “Estrella, I’m ready, let’s go play with Madrina!”
Adán Rouco could not help saying with a deliberately handsome face: “What a nerve, now you don’t even have to inform me in advance, do you?
Estrella Berrocal took the man’s arm, gently, “It’s not that I didn’t tell you on purpose, we decided a moment ago and then we told you right away, Paulita and I won’t be with Ciri long, we’ll just have lunch and then get back to you before dinner, okay?”
Paulita also came running over, her little hands tugging at Adán Rouco’s thigh-high pants: “Papa, I want to eat the tile soup from Madrina’s school lunchroom! Estrella says it’s delicious!”.
After getting the go-ahead from Adán Rouco, the chauffeur took Estrella Berrocal and Paulita to the Media Universidad de Ciudad del Rey.
The food in the cafeteria of King City Media University is very popular among students and is also very popular on the Internet, so many visitors to King City come to the university, which has an enlightened atmosphere and campus, where visitors can be seen at all times.
The dining room is full at lunchtime.
Once Estrella Berrocal and Ciri Garzón had taken Paulita to the dining room, Ciri Garzón went to get her food and Estrella Berrocal stayed to watch Paulita, but Ciri Garzón could not carry so much food by herself, so Estrella Berrocal took Paulita to the line to look for Ciri Garzón.
“Paulita, take my hand and stay close to mommy, don’t get lost.”
“I’m holding it, Estrella.”
But there are so many people here that Estrella Berrocal occasionally glances uneasily at the girl, who keeps a firm grip on her shirt.
Estrella Berrocal looked for Ciri Garzón with her eyes and, upon seeing him, took Paulita to help Ciri Garzón serve the food.
Just as those meals and tiles were being served, Ciri Garzón and Estrella Berrocal managed to slip through the crowd, and as soon as they turned around, Estrella Berrocal realized that Paulita had disappeared!
“Paulita! Paulita! Paulita where are you?”
Estrella Berrocal searched the crowd for half a day, but there was no sign of Paulita.
Estrella Berrocal’s heart was suddenly in her throat, the whole world seemed to spin around her and all she could hear was her own violent heartbeat.
Ciri Garzón also became nervous, “Estrella don’t worry, right now we’ll go to the radio station to look for someone, we’re sure to find Paulita! As long as Paulita is still in school, I’m sure some of her classmates will send her to the radio if they see her!”.
Estrella Berrocal was on the verge of tears of remorse, “Paulita was next to me, I looked at her several times! Paulita, come out of there! Don’t play hide and seek with me”.
“Estrella take it easy, let’s go find Paulita together!”
Estrella Berrocal said in a trembling voice: “Ciri, Ciri, go to the radio station and let them broadcast it, I’m going to look for it now at the school!
“Okay, let’s split up!”
