The Casa Del Castaneda
The Guardian Angel of Paloma



Rafael showed a hue of objection to the priest's words. It's not something he wants. Raphael stared intently at Paloma who still looked calm, listening to all the advice of the pastor. The handsome man with gray eyes was astonished, because Paloma did not protest at all. However, Rafael did not want to behave as the woman showed.


“What does it mean we should stay together while waiting for the decision of the church?” rafael's protest won't take. “We decided to divorce. That means we don't want to be together anymore. Why are the rules like that? It is the same as imposing a will. Do you realize, Pastor? That will not solve the problem, because the only way is to separate,” said Rafael withstood the frustration. As much as possible, the brunette man was not carried away by emotions. Moreover, he faced was a religious leader.


“I understand very well what you mean, Sir,” said the pastor still looking calm. “Look at yourself at the moment. It was filled with great anger and hatred. Someone who is overwhelmed with anger, usually make decisions without thinking carefully. Just like those who feel bad. Take the knife, then take away the life of the person who disappointed them. Then, after the person who was finished off died covered in blood, did the problem finish there? No, Mister. It actually raises a new problem for the perpetrator.”


“Why is your mind so far away, Pastor? We just want to find happiness. I'm not at all happy to marry this woman. She was the opposite.” Rafael again denied the priest's remarks.


“If you have never wanted this marriage, you should have refused directly before the confirmation of the sacred promise before God. It's not that hard, sir. You will also avoid feelings that must be really burdensome,” said the pastor again. “We are here just to give input. There is always a right way to go in the right direction, even if we get lost. That's not impossible, sir. Unless, if you prefer to be in that circle of error, without any intention to attempt to exit.”


“We are here just want to help every couple. How much hate there is today. There has always been a speck of love in the heart. It's just advice. We'd care a lot more if you could appreciate what I've said. If you are not willing to cooperate, then we will not do anything either.” The priest ended all his advice.


There is no point for Rafael to keep arguing. Moreover, after Paloma signaled that he was silent and did not protest again. After meeting the priest earlier, the two walked out without talking to each other. Rafael looks so fucked up.


“How, Babe?” tanya Tatiana who immediately welcomed the handsome man adoration his heart.


“I don't like it,” replied Rafael uninspired.


“What do you not like?” ask Tatiana.


Rafael halted his steps as he was heading for the car, where Paloma and Rogelio were already waiting. The gray-eyed handsome man turned his body to Tatiana who looked curious. “I'll take you to hotel.” An answer that did not match the expectations of the forty-year-old woman. Rafael, continue your steps.


However, Tatiana immediately withdrew her arm. Rafael turned back. “Say, Rafael!” insistently. The voice of the Spanish woman sounded quite loud, so that made Paloma and Rogelio who were talking directly turned their heads. “Why don't you talk?” Tatiana pushed Rafael's shoulders hard, making the man slightly back off.


“I told you I'd take you to the hotel. After that, return to Spain,” said Rafael trying not to be provoked.


Tatiana. A hard slap landed on Rafael's left cheek. “You want me to go from here?” tatiana Sentak.


“I have no other choice, Tatiana!” Rafael is not less firm. His mind is fucked. Rafael thinks Tatiana will not be upset over his decision. “I have to stay here. The priest inside said that they would help to apply for the annulment of my marriage to Paloma, provided we stay together,” explained Rafael, who actually made Tatiana increasingly angry.


“You? You're gonna stay with that woman?” Tatiana shook her head in disbelief. The woman with such glamorous appearance snorted in annoyance. “Fuck your divorce!” The anger that was not vented by Rogelio's attitude and spicy words, this time Tatiana overflowed. Rafael's decision to settle temporarily in Mexico seemed to be a way for the wealthy widow. He vented all his pent-up anger. Tatiana left in front of Raphael. The woman walked in a hurry. Anger was evident from the look on her face and the way she stepped on her feet.


“Where are you going?” rafael half-said, as the distance to Tatiana was already quite far.


“You don't have to care, even though I'm going to hell!” tatiana replied with a loud voice. He rushed to the side of the road. Tatiana stopped the taxi that happened to pass. The woman left carrying all the frustration and disappointment that was mounting.


Upon arrival at the luxurious residence of his adoptive father, Rafael immediately went down. He then approached Rogelio to return the car keys. The man's intention was to return to the hotel where he was staying and Tatiana stayed. However, Rafael had not had time to say goodbye, the gatekeeper had first come to face while carrying a suitcase. The thing that Rafael knows very well, because it is a suitcase containing his clothes and belongings.


“Sorry, Mr. Rafael. Just got a cab driver who gave me this. He said, a shipment from Mrs Tatiana Vidal,” reported the gatekeeper.


Rafael scooped up his hair rough. He didn't say anything. The anger is mounting. Moreover, as the man looked at Paloma who was looking ridiculously at him. Rogelio had already entered.


“He dumped you? Poor thing,” ledek Paloma as it passed from the presence of Rafael. The hazel-eyed young woman walked into her father-in-law's mansion.


Rafael, in a state of turmoil, rushed after the woman he wanted to divorce immediately. The man grabbed Paloma's arm violently, blocking it tight, until the owner of the hazel eyes grimaced. “How dare you!” rafael said with great emphasis. He was about to finish off Paloma right then and there. “Do not get the full support of my father, then you become so confident. Remember, Paloma! You will regret the smile you have shown me today!” threaten Rafael with his increasingly strong grip.


Paloma grimaced in pain. However, he did not want to show his weak side in front of the man. Paloma raised his chin as a sign that he was not afraid of Rafael's threat. “God will always protect good people. Just like when you were dragging and trying to shoot me in the desert. At that time, Mr. Sebastian came to my rescue. It is not impossible if later God will return to send a savior, or even a guardian angel to me ..”.


“Yes. That was me.” Rogelio's voice was heard there. Shocking Paloma was also Rafael who immediately turned around. “Get rid of your hands, Rafael!” Rogelio pulled the man. He even threw down his adopted son's sturdy body, until Rafael staggered to hit the sofa.


Not satisfied just to get there, Rogelio pulled the collar shirt on the back of Rafael. He turned it rough again. This time, Rafael was unable to set the balance. The handsome man staggered back, then hit the wooden sideboard.


Dizziness, that was what Rafael felt this time. He who was in an unprepared position, again got a barrage of attacks from Rogelio. Punch after punch landed on the face of his handsome, until the temples and corners of the man's lips were torn and bleeding. However, Rafael did not fight at all.


“Solid boy!” maki Rogelio returns to deliver his punch. Countless times how many times the hand that used to be used to caress Rafael's brown hair was loving and hopeful, it now turned into a painful blow. Blood and bruises also adorn the handsome face of the gray-eyed man.


“Stop, Dad!” hysterical Paloma Exclamation. A few house assistants came there. They were so shocked to see what Rogelio had done to his adopted son.


“Dad, stop. Please. Stop!” pinta Paloma again. Feeling that Rogelio's actions were out of bounds, Paloma immediately held back so that the middle-aged man did not get worse. “Calm down, Dad. The person you're beating is your son. The child you once cared for and raised lovingly. Please don't corrode your benevolent hands, with something terrible like this.” Paloma blocks Rogelio, so the middle-aged man must undo his intention to go back to beat Rafael.


“Soge, Son! Let me teach this brat a lesson!” Unusually, Rogelio said firmly like that to Paloma. “Six years I let him commit a great sin against you. Therefore, today .. today I will finish everything. You'll be a widow much sooner, without having to wait for a court or church decision.” Rogelio could no longer contain his anger.


“No, Dad. Please. Don't say it like that,” pinta Paloma. “I will not regret the death of Rafael. However, I will be very sad if you have to bear the sins of a lifetime. Let, Father. All the bad deeds of Rafael, will return to him.” Paloma kept trying to temper the anger of his father-in-law.


Rogelio stared intently at Rafael with an irregular breath. The middle-aged man was even panting. For a long time, Rogelio had not done something as draining as before. If only Rafael gave a fight, it is not impossible that he will end horribly. Rogelio then turned his gaze to Paloma. Without saying much, he passed from there.


Seeing Rafael sprawled, Paloma immediately helped him get up. “Build.”
