The Casa Del Castaneda

Go and Away

The sound of a knock on the door, forcing Sebastian to stop the kiss scene with Paloma. Slowly, she kept her face away from the beautiful face of the woman in the blue floral dress. Sebastian, don't say anything. Whether it becomes a memorable kiss or not for him.

Unruled, Paloma walked towards the door. He opened it not too wide. Instantly, Paloma was stunned. Standing outside was Rogelio, the father-in-law. “Dad,” says Paloma slowly.

“You're here?” rogelio asked as he raised his thick eyebrows.

“I ...”

“Paloma is here to say goodbye,” interrupted Sebastian who has stood behind the young woman. “Are you ready, Mr Gallardo?” sebastian asks after seeing Rogelio's performance.

“Yes, Mr. Castaneda. I'm here to say goodbye to you,” replied Rogelio. Every now and then, the middle-aged man glanced at the son-in-law who didn't say much.

“I'll tell the driver to get ready soon,” Sebastian said.

“I'll take my things. Excuse me.” Paloma. He passed from before the two men. His pace quickly headed for the room he occupied with Flor.

After a while, they were in the front yard of Casa del Castaneda. A driver is ready in a white SUV, which will take Paloma and Rogelio to Seville.

Sebastian and Rogelio shook hands warmly. Although they have just met this time, but they look immediately familiar.

Paloma doesn't talk much. The feeling of the beautiful woman became numb, after Sebastian suddenly kissed her. In addition, Rogelio's intention to meet with Rafael in Sevilla, has made Paloma become increasingly nervous.

"Thank you again, Mr. Castaneda. I'm waiting for you to travel to Mexico" Rogelio said before getting into the car.

"Together, Mr. Gallardo. I will definitely take the time to visit" Sebstian replied with a friendly smile. A moment later, the tail of his eyes fell on Paloma who was standing clumsily next to Rogelio. "May your journey be smooth" said the ruler Casa del Castaneda again.

Sebastian stood gallantly, as the driver opened the door for Paloma and Rogelio. Her father-in-law and daughter-in-law were sitting comfortably in the vehicle.

Rogelio nodded before the car drove. Meanwhile, Paloma who had not dared to look at Sebastian, this time turned his head. Simultaneously, the vehicle drove slowly leaving the Casa del Castaneda courtyard.

A speck of tears trickled down the corner of Paloma's lips. The pain accompanied the speed of vehicles that continued to move away from Porcuna. The intention of the hazel-eyed woman to stop in Granada, he did not reveal to his father-in-law. As a result, Paloma left with a sense of regret, because he did not have time to visit the tomb of his son.

"Why sad?" asked Rogelio who saw Paloma shed tears.

Paloma, who had initially looked out the window, immediately turned to his father-in-law. The young woman shook her head slowly, rubbing her cheeks using the back of her hand.

"Are you feeling anxious?" ask Rogelio. "Don't be afraid. I accompanied you. I'll help you until this problem you're dealing with is over." Rogelio touched the head of Paloma, then stroked the young woman's brown hair.

There was a small smile on the corner of Paloma's lips. "Thank you, Dad. Now I know, why my father is so disinclined and amazed at you. You do deserve that award" Paloma said sincerely.

"Don't overdo it, son." Rogelio shook his head slowly. "I love you and I consider you my real daughter. You're more than a son-in-law." Rogelio nodded slowly again with a gentle smile.

Half of the journey to Seville was taken. Soon, Paloma and Rogelio will arrive at the residence of Tatiana Vidal, Rafael's wealthy wife.

"Are you sure that Rafael is here?" tanya Paloma hesitated.

"Should have been" answered Rogelio. "

When I came to Spain, this house was my first destination" Rogelio replied.

After allowing Sebastian's driver to return to Porcuna, Rogelio and Paloma walked closer to the gate. Rafael's adoptive father met the guard there. He made a point of wanting to meet with Rafael.

The gatekeeper, apparently still remembers the face of Rogelio who came yesterday. He doesn't ask much more. The man in a neat uniform invited Rogelio and Paloma to enter, especially, after Rogelio said he wanted to see Rafael.

After entering the courtyard, they were welcome to wait for a moment in a special place. Meanwhile, the man reported to his employer. By then Rafael had returned from Porcuna. However, his relationship with Tatiana became cold and a little tenuous, after Rogelio's arrival there.

After all, Tatiana was not a stupid woman. He probably already realized that Rafael had lied to him about status issues. Tatiana was furious and silenced Rafael. Making the anger in the man increasingly mountainous, especially because he also failed to finish off Paloma.

“Master, someone wants to meet you,” reports the gatekeeper.

“Who?” ask Rafael. He put the phone he was playing on, on the living room table. Rafael has not left, having received a visit from a business colleague.

“A middle-aged man with young woman. The man who yesterday came here and claimed to be ..”

“Allow them in,” sela Tatiana who was suddenly in the room. The forty-year-old woman, standing arrogantly looked at Rafael who turned to her with a look of protest. “Quickly bring them here,” said the hostess, with body language that looks unfriendly.

“Good, Mistress,” said the gatekeeper as it passed.

“What do you mean, Honey?” Rafael showed a look of dislike with Tatiana's attitude.

“Why? You scared?” tanya Tatiana was defiant.

However, Rafael did not have time to answer the woman's question, because the guest in question had entered there. Rafael was fixated on seeing the adoptive father, who was standing with an angry look at him. Meanwhile, Paloma's gaze was no less sharp. The young woman looked disgusted at the man who was still her husband.

“How are you, Mr Gallardo?” tatiana.

Rogelio, who was looking intently at Rafael, immediately turned his attention. He nodded politely, as a sign of respect for a woman. “My news is very good, Mrs Vidal . Sorry if I came here without making an appointment. We will leave soon for Mexico.However, before leaving there, we would like to talk briefly with Rafael.” Rogelio explained the meaning of his arrival.

Tatiana did not respond immediately. His cold gaze was on Paloma. He was convinced that it was the woman, who had thrown Rafael in shoes until he was injured. “Alright, Mr. Gallardo. Please sit.” Tatiana pointed her right hand towards the luxurious sofa not far from them standing.

Rogelio. He let Tatiana sit down first. After that, he and Paloma followed. Meanwhile, Rafael has looked wrong and uncomfortable. If he could, maybe Rafael would prefer to escape right then and there.

“So, how?” tanya Tatiana started the conversation.

“We're straight to the point, Mrs Vidal. This is my legitimate son-in-law, Paloma Sanchez de Luna. He is not divorced from Rafael. That means, the marriage that you and my son have lived so far is not legally and religiously recognized.”
