The Casa Del Castaneda

For A Reason

Paloma's body trembled at Sebastian's words. The guilt towards the man grew bigger in his chest. However, instead of being honest, Paloma was increasingly unsure of telling the truth.

“A long time ago I closed myself off from women. This time, I tried to open my heart. I know it might be too soon for you. However, there was a very strong urge in my heart to say this. You are a very different woman, Paloma. You're a dissident, stubborn, but I like it.”

“Sebastian, you make me very flattered,” Paloma replied.

“I'll prove everything I said to you. This is not just seduction. I'll propose to you soon, as soon as you're completely detached from Rafael,” Sebastian said solemnly.

The feeling in Paloma's chest was raging. He can't speak anymore. Everything stuck in the throat, unable to be freely expressed. Paloma breathed deeply. The feeling of uneasiness ambushed very strongly. “Sebastian, it's too late. I'm so tired,” Paloma said later.

“Of course. Have a good rest, honey. Dream about me.” Sebastian muttered softly after saying so. He ended his conversation with Paloma.

Meanwhile, Paloma threw his mobile phone into the bed. Never mind getting sleepy, he didn't even want the night to end soon. Paloma has not been fully able to vent all the annoyance. Yes, Paloma's annoyance is not lost. Moreover, because the next day Rafael invited him to see Lawyer Ramos.

“I don't want to! I don't intend to go back to doing the housewife with you!” reject Paloma raw.

“You know that divorce is not something that is sanctioned by any party. Didn't you listen to all the pastors say in church?”

“You who rejected all the counsel of the priest then, Rafael!” paloma. “Please, don't play with my life anymore,” pinta Paloma with a slightly softened tone of speech.

“I'm not playing with your life, Paloma. I just want to fix everything. Why don't you give me a chance to get better? I want to learn to be a responsible husband. A real husband and father. I want to make the rest of my life more meaningful. You will be as evil as I am, if you get in the way or don't even support me in improving myself.” Rafael again showed his earnest attitude.

“God alone always gives a second chance to a human who wants to repent. Then why didn't you give me that chance? Did you fall in love so quickly with Sebastian? What have you guys done, that you seem so hard to let go? Have you slept with her?” hatch Rafael.

“Close your mouth! I am not a cheap woman who easily hands my body to just any man!” paloma's objection was firm.

“Then, what makes you so heavy to let Sebastian go? Is it because he's rich?”

“Stop, Rafael! Whatever the reason, that must be just one thing. I don't want to live life with you anymore.” Paloma shook his head.

Rafael remained silent. He looked at Paloma. The disappointed look was evident in the look in his eyes. “Didn't you see, how happy my father was with my decision to drop the divorce suit? Would you take back her smile?”

Paloma. It must be admitted that what Rafael said is true. The paloma folds its hands on its chest, then leans against the wall. “Why do you always put me in difficult situations?”

“No, Paloma. For this time, I didn't mean it at all,” Rafael argued. He approached, then stood before the woman who was still his rightful wife.

“I really want to live with you, Paloma. You're a very nice woman. Twice you treated my wounds. I'll replace all that with the happiness you haven't gotten from me. Should I get back on my knees before you?”

Paloma did not answer. He just stared at Rafael. It's not like what he had in mind. Everything's getting messed up.

“If you say that you were once very interested and fell in love with me, then allow me to re-present that feeling in your heart. I promise and will prove my point this time. I'll make you fall back in love with me. However, of course you have to give me a chance so I can do it.”

Rafael's eye-to-eye implies earnestness. Paloma saw something different there. Has that man really changed? Should Paloma give him a second chance? Not yet had the short-haired beautiful woman give an answer, Rogelio first came to them.

“Aren't you going to see Lawyer Ramos today?” tanyakanya.

“Iya, Father,” replied Rafael. He had not yet removed his hand from Paloma, who was still fixated not speaking a word.

“Then leave quickly. I can't wait for the good news. After this is done, I will hold a big banquet as a welcome because you have returned to Mexico,’’ Rogelio said. He smiled happily while patting Rafael on the shoulder. “I'm so proud of you, Son.”

“I will prepare the car,” said Rafael as he passed out.

Meanwhile, Paloma was still glued in place. He stood up. Paloma could only clench his hands, cursing his stupidity that had become a coward.

Rogelio was astonished to see Paloma's attitude. He knew that there was something wrong with his daughter-in-law. Rogelio, who was about to move into the workspace, undoes the intention. He stood before Paloma who was still sculpting like lifeless. “What else is it, Son?” ask the middle-aged man.

Paloma did not answer immediately. He looked at my father-in-law. “Daddy, I ..” Paloma paused his words for a moment. “I can't,” continued the woman later.

“What can't, Nak?” ask Rogelio.

“I don't want to continue this marriage, Dad. I want to part with Rafael. Please. Give me freedom,” pinta Paloma. His eyes began to glaze over.

Rogelio was silent at Paloma's words. He looked at his favorite son-in-law. The middle-aged man stroked Paloma's cheeks gently and lovingly. He then shook slowly. “Do not, Son. Don't be stubborn like this,” the door asked.

“If yesterday I agreed to your divorce with Rafael, it was because my son did not show good faith. However, this is the thing I've been waiting for from Rafael. I knew he would change his mind. Rafael is a good man, even though he committed a very big crime against you. You'll find out later, how good my son is.”

“No, Dad. Please. Don't put me in this situation. I respect and love you very much. You're like a real father to me. How can I defy your words. However, in this case .. I cannot.” Paloma shook his head. He refused every decision he had to accept.

“Nak.” Rogelio held Paloma's arm. “You don't understand it well. Someday, there will come a time when you will know the reason why I want you to unite. But not for now. I'm just asking, come back to Rafael. Knit again the love that had broken. Give him a second chance.”
