Rafael and Paloma have returned to Rogelio's residence. Paloma got out of the car first. He didn't wait until Rafael opened the door for him. Paloma even stepped in regardless of the man who was trying to accompany his steps.
“Paloma, wait.” Raphael tried to grab the wife's hand.
However, the woman immediately brushed aside violently. “Never touch me!” attack with a sharp look. Paloma is back to reverse. He continued his steps towards his room. At that time, the hazel-eyed woman just wanted to lock up and be alone in there.
However, Paloma's intentions seemed unable to be carried out immediately. Rogelio appeared in the room. He approached Paloma who inevitably had to hide all the irritation in his heart. “You've come home apparently. How?” ask the middle-aged man. Rogelio looked very curious, with the news brought by the couple.
“I've been to Lawyer Ramos' place and church. We have spoken with the pastor. He gave us three months to reflect on this decision again, in relation ...” Rafael paused his words. He glanced at Paloma who did not come to speak.
Rogelio turned his attention to Paloma. He already understood Rafael's intentions, even though the man said nothing. Rogelio smiled knot. He nodded slowly. “Good. I just wanted to tell you guys that this weekend we're going to have a big banquet. I'll invite old colleagues and friends. I hope you guys work well together. This banquet I present as gratitude for the reference decision which ...”
“I'm sorry, Dad. My stomach feels so nauseous and I want to vomit.” Without waiting for a response from Rogelio, Paloma rushed towards his room.
“Gosh.” Rogelio shook his head slowly.
Meanwhile, Rafael only smiled a little. “She's been angry since. Paloma even had time to say in a high tone in front of the priest,” the light of the gray-eyed handsome man.
“Give him time. Later Paloma will be able to accept you again. You have to fight to prove how serious you are. Don't disappoint me, let alone humiliate me. I've defended you in front of him. Remember, Rafael. If until you repeat the stupidity as before, then I will not hesitate to kill you,” Rogelio threatened firmly. The man turned his body. Rogelio intends to pass from the presence of his foster son.
“Quiet, Dad,” sahut Rafael. “This time, I will not waste the opportunity God gave me to fix everything. I would never let Paloma be taken away by another man, because he was too precious.”
Rogelio was stunned to hear Rafael's words. She's looking. His gaze was filled with doubt. Rogelio was still unable to catch the intention of his foster son saying so. “I've invited Mr. Sebastian Cruz Castaneda to come in this banquet. He is willing to attend. Moreover, because we will also celebrate the newly established cooperation with the help of the two of you. You and Paloma. I want you guys to be solid coworkers in building this business.”
Rafael was silent for a moment, before finally smiling knots. There was a glimmer of happiness in the support the father gave. Rafael's gratitude will never end. Behind all the mistakes he had made, Rafael was still surrounded by noble-hearted people like Rogelio.
The middle-aged man could have beaten him to a pulp. However, it turns out that the love in Rogelio's heart never changed. Behind the anger he showed, Rogelio still harbored feelings of immense love, to the son who had been accompanying his lonely days.
Meanwhile, Paloma sat pensively in a chair near the room window. He looked at the sky that would soon turn dark. Dusk soon fell overshadowing Chihuahua City. A sense of desolation and anger that had not been channeled completely, made the short-haired young lady only able to cry. Paloma hid her face, on the folds of the hands that were placed on the knees.
“Dad, mom ...,” groans slowly. “Nilo ...” Paloma also mentioned the name of his beloved son who had passed away. “Sebastian.”
Paloma's memory is again focused on the owner Casa del Castaneda. He lifted his face, then wiped the tears that drenched his cheeks. Paloma moved from his seat. He steps near the table, then picks up the book Sebastian gave him. Paloma reopened the sheet he had not read.
The hazel-eyed young lady spent a lot of time reading the book earlier. He didn't even go out for dinner. Paloma did not open the door, when he heard several knockings at the door. He was too late in every word he was reading. Paloma even fell asleep without her noticing.
The light of the morning sun slipped in through the glass window with the curtains open. Paloma who was sleeping in a sitting position on a chair, slowly opened his eyes. The young woman tried hard to release the drowsiness that was still attached. Makes his pair of sense of sight feel so heavy.
Paloma complained softly as he felt his achy body. He even felt pain in some parts. However, the noisy sounds of the residents of the house, making Paloma's curiosity instantly appear. Unusually, Rogelio's residence was as crowded as that morning.
Paloma got up, then went into the bathroom. He washed his face and brushed his teeth. After feeling much fresher, the woman went out of the room. Sure enough, Paloma saw there was an unusual activity in the magnificent building of the father-in-law.
“What is this?” tanya Paloma was curious.
“We are preparing for this weekend's banquet, Madam,” replied one of the waiters in between her work.
“Ya, Mistress. Mr. Rogelio is going to have a big party. Therefore, we prepare it from now,” explained the waiter earlier. He returned to his job, after answering Paloma's question.
Not satisfied with the servant's explanation. Paloma intends to meet Rogelio. But his stomach was hungry. He hasn't filled his stomach since yesterday afternoon. Paloma decided to go to the dining room first. There, he took some food that was still available, because the waiter had not had time to finish it. It could be, it was deliberately not cleaned because he did not take breakfast with Rogelio and Rafael.
While Paloma was enjoying his morning meal, Rafael suddenly passed by there. The man smiled, then sat down in a chair near Paloma. “Good morning,” reply.
Paloma who was eating quietly, immediately fell silent. He turned to Rafael for a moment, then immediately looked away. Paloma saw the man take the same breakfast menu as himself. “Finally you came out of the room. If not, then I have to fast again,” said Rafael while eating his food greedily. He looks very hungry.
“What do you mean?” paloma asked without looking. He continued eating his morning meal, without being bothered by the presence of the brown-haired handsome man earlier.
“I am very hungry, because I have not eaten since last night,” said Rafael with a mouth full of food.
“Do not be silly! No one forbids you to eat here,” refuted Paloma ketus.
“Indeed,” Reply Rafael without stopping chewing. He was like someone who had not found good food for a year. Rafael even added to his meal. “I can't eat if you don't either,” the man said later
Instead of being flattered, Paloma actually looks annoyed with Rafael's remarks. After finishing his meal, he sipped a drink. “Do not overdo it. You think I'd be impressed by what you're doing? Not at all, Mr. good-ass!” Paloma glanced sharply, then moved from his seat. He intended to leave Rafael alone at the dinner table.
However, only about two steps away, Paloma was stunned when he heard Rafael talking to him. “I hope you don't forget, that dad will have a banquet this weekend. If you want, we can buy a new dress for you,” bargain Rafael while continuing to eat.
Paloma who was still stunned in place, immediately turned around. “No need,” answer ketus.
“Are you sure you don't want to buy a beautiful party dress? Don't let you embarrass yourself and dad. At the banquet, there will be many invited guests from colleagues, large Mexican businessmen, and some friends of the father. They're all important people.” Rafael turned his head and looked at Paloma with a calm look.
“I don't care. I will not follow the banquet, because today I will also return to my father's house,” said Paloma. He immediately turned his back.
Hearing the threat from Paloma, Rafael immediately got up from the chair. He caught up with the woman who continued his intention towards the room. Rafael followed Paloma's hasty steps, until he was able to grab his wife's wrist.
“I told you not to touch me!” paloma shook his hand against Rafael.
“You can't go anywhere!” prevent Rafael firmly. “I won't let you go!”
“You have no right to ban or regulate me! Ever since you ignored and let me and Nilo live together, since then I've been expecting nothing from you!” reject Paloma. He wanted to vent out all the grunts that had been held in his heart since yesterday.
“I've apologized. Therefore, I want us to annul this divorce. Let me fix everything. How many times do I have to tell you that so you're willing to understand it?”
“Not a single thing I have to understand from you! You are! I don't know what's on your mind this time! Why don't you let me live in peace? Let me achieve happiness that I have never had!”
Rafael fell silent with a fixed look at the woman before him. “I will bring that happiness to you. Remember well my promise.” Rafael again convinced Paloma.
“Fuck with all your promises!” paloma Cibir. He turned his body. Paloma intended to continue. But Rafael prevented it.
Rafael again took Paloma's hand. He pulled her strong enough that the woman backed off. Raphael clasped Paloma's waist, then clenched it tightly. He hugged the wife he had neglected all this time.
