The Casa Del Castaneda

White-clothed Woman

While waiting for the preparation of his departure to Spain, Paloma learned a lot first. Rogelio helped her by providing an explanation that was not too difficult to understand, so Paloma could easily understand what was described by his father-in-law. While Paloma was busy studying, Rafael was anxious because he would return to Spain. Apart from Tatiana, he will also meet Sebastian who obviously does not like him

At about eight in the morning, Paloma and Rafael were already at the airport. They will make a long journey to the land of Matador. I don't know what will happen in the next ten hours.

Sitting in a comfortable business class, Paloma prefers to read Antonio Machado's book by Sebastian. Rafael doesn't talk much either. For nearly two hours, they went through in silence.

After getting bored, Paloma closed his book. He closed his eyes, trying to rest. However, I don't know why the woman felt uncomfortable. Paloma moves the body restlessly, even though his eyes are still closed. A little while later, the owner of the short brown shoulder-length hair began to fall asleep

Different from Rafael. He's still pensive. Every now and then, the gray-eyed handsome man glanced at Paloma who was already asleep. The beautiful Paras had accompanied her for several months. For some reason, suddenly Rafael remembered the togetherness that is not as sweet as married couples in general. Rafael looked at the face with thin makeup, which looked much different compared to Tatiana.

Comfort is slowly present. The longer, the man was getting swept away. There was something that made her so calm, while looking at the beautiful face of Paloma. A smile was painted on the corner of the thin mustache lips of Rogelio's adopted son. However, the smile on Rafael's face instantly faded, as he looked at the restless Paloma in his sleep. Paloma, like having a nightmare. “Paloma. Paloma.” Rafael patted the woman's cheek until she woke up.

Paloma opened his eyes immediately. He turned to Rafael who was looking at him with a strange look. Immediately, the woman corrected the sitting posture. Paloma tidied her hair and clothes.

“You why? Did you have a bad dream?” ask Rafael curious.

Paloma did not answer immediately. He stared for a moment at the man next to him, before turning his gaze out the window. “Taken the incident when you intended to kill me, almost every night I had a bad dream. I feel that you will repeat the same thing,” Paloma said softly.

Rafael felt bad at Paloma's reply. “I am very upset and do not know how to, to cover up the depravity in our household. I never thought that dad would find me in Spain. Meanwhile, there is Tatiana that I cannot hide from him,” explained Rafael with a regretful tone.

“Do you really want to see me die?”

A question that sounded very scary to Rafael. After all, he was not a murderer who easily took one's life without any burden at all. “I told you that I was in a state of turmoil,” he replied as he looked forward.

Paloma. So too with Rafael. They again dissolved in each other's minds, until finally Paloma returned to sound. “Do you love her?” Paloma turned his head for a moment to Rafael who looked uncomfortable.

“Who?” The gray-eyed man asked.

“You,” Paloma replied. “Do you love that rich woman?” Paloma clarified the question.

Rafael did not answer immediately. He even seemed to object to responding to the question. However, Rafael felt that there was no harm in telling a little story. After all, Tatiana had already thrown it away. “Tatiana is being very nice to me. He meets all needs and ..” Rafael did not continue his words. He was convinced that Paloma could definitely understand what he meant. “Tatiana gave me the facilities and freedom to develop my career. Such is. It all comes back in return. You don't know how sad my life is,” Rafael said.

“You weak man, Rafael,” Paloma chirp.

“Yes. Let's just say I did,” replied Rafael did not want to argue.

“If you've never liked me, why didn't you refuse when Mr Rogelio introduced us?”

Rafael smiled bitterly, then clucked softly. He looked at Paloma, before returning to look forward. “At that time, dad promised to give me the business land. He will give you the initial capital. However, the condition is that I have to get married first,” said Rafael began his story.

“From there, I convinced Selena that she would be willing to come and meet dad. An immeasurable sense of happiness in my heart. One more step, we'll be together. Really together. However, before I could bring Selena, it turned out that my father meant that I should marry you.” Rafael bowed for a moment. The shadow of the beautiful face of the lover whom he loved very much, was again present in the eye.

“Why didn't you reject it?”

“You think it will be that easy?” Rafael raised his face, then turned to Paloma who was looking at him fixedly. “Tuan Rogelio is a very nice guy. His services are so great in my life. He was an extraordinary person. I'll feel like I have no ethics, when it comes to arguing what he wants over me.”

“Easy for you to say that. However, try to put yourself in my position.” Rafael leaned his head with half a look. “That's why I took you away from Mexico. That way, I won't know what I did to you.”

“Exploitation!” Paloma turned his face away. However, Rafael did not want to respond. This time, it was the man's turn to close his eyes.

Ten hours drive, finally passed. They arrived at the airport. From the city of Seville, Paloma and Rafael continue their journey until they arrive at Porcuna. Previously, Enrique had booked a room at the city's best hotel. However, it turned out that Enrique had only booked one room for the two.

“Should we sleep in the room?” paloma thought while sitting at the end of the bed.

“I can sleep on the sofa,” said Rafael while taking off his jacket.

“Good.” Paloma went to the bathroom. He wanted to clean himself up, as his body felt very sticky. After all, it was already evening when they arrived at the hotel. Paloma wants to immediately rest while straightening the body. He did not intend to eat dinner, because his stomach was filled with some kind of filling snack during the journey from Seville to Porcuna.

Next day.

After breakfast, Paloma and Rafael immediately prepare to leave for Casa del Castaneda. As usual, Rafael looks neat with a shirt lined with blazers.

Meanwhile, Paloma also looks neat. She looks very beautiful with thin makeup, but makes her look very attractive. The hazel-eyed woman's short haircut is so compatible with the three-fourths knee-length sheath dress. The clothes stick tight, forming Paloma's beautiful body to show the shape of his waist and hips are beautiful.

“The rental car is ready. We leave now,” said Rafael, after seeing Paloma had finished tidying up.

Paloma nodded slowly. He rushed out of the room. Moreover, because Rafael was looking at him with a strange looking highlight.

“Did Sebastian know that you and I are the representatives of father?” rafael asked as they entered the elevator.

“Entahlah. I don't think so,” Paloma replied.

“You know why I didn't tell Sebastian?” ask Rafael again.

“Why are you asking me?” Paloma asked back. Making Rafael just exhale slowly.

A few moments later, they had passed through the lobby. The two then walked towards the parking area, where they were waiting for the car that Rafael had rented. As someone who knows the Porcuna region well, Rafael does not need a driver to explore the municipality.

During the journey, there was no meaningful conversation between the two of them. Rafael focused on city traffic, while Paloma read books.

After a while, the car Rafael was driving had arrived at Casa del Castaneda. Paloma requested permission to enter, on behalf of Rogelio's representatives. The gatekeeper opened it wide, and let them in.

“Sebastian will not like my presence,” said Rafael before deciding to get off the vehicle.

“You came with me,” Paloma responded. He was busy wearing the shoes he had taken off on the way. Paloma, in fact, is trying to neutralize an unreasonable feeling. For some reason, he becomes so nervous as he re-imagines facing the handsome widower ruler Casa del Castaneda, who gives him one kiss before they part.

Without saying much, Rafael gets out of the car after seeing Sebastian welcome on the porch. Sebastian looked surprised. He didn't like Rafael there. However, Sebastian's attention was immediately distracted by a beautiful figure in white, who appeared a short while later.
