The Casa Del Castaneda

Misbehavior

Sebastian smiled calmly, as Rogelio stepped before him. The owner of thousands of acres of olive groves in Porcuna still shows a calm attitude, although he knows that Rogelio could have kicked him out with disrespect. “What are you doing here, Sebastian Cruz Castaneda?” Paloma's father's question sounded very unfriendly in Sebastian's ear.

“I'm here to deliver your daughter, Mr. Gallardo,” Sebastian replied with a knotty smile. His age has been fairly mature, making Sebastian has a good level of self-control. He tried not to be provoked by the unfriendly attitude of Rogelio as the host there.

“What is your business with my daughter? You took her when I wasn't home?” tukas Rogelio cold.

“Dad.” Paloma tried to break the tension between Rogelio and Sebastian. He couldn't let his father continue to behave badly towards the man who had driven him home to Granada. “We just returned from Porcuna,” said Paloma. The movement of his eyes looks uncomfortable, because there are strangers who are not related to the accident case.

Rogelio exhaled a short breath. He understood the gesture his daughter was showing. Not with Sebastian. He even had the chance to tell the truth.

“We just got back from the police station, Mr. Gallardo. The investigation team has found evidence. The police have even moved to arrest Tatiana Vidal,”, Sebastian said. The tail of his eyes pointed at Elazar who immediately put on a different look.

“Tatiana Vidal?” Rogelio knitted his brows.

“Yes, Dad,” timpal Paloma. “The SUV car was recorded on behalf of Tatiana Vidal.”

Once again, Sebastian saw another expression from Elazar. The look in the eyes of the handsome, slightly puffed-haired man implied indescribable gloom. Elazar, it might be uncomfortable to hear Tatiana Vidal's name.

Paloma seemed to want to talk more. However, he felt bad about Elazar's presence there. The beautiful widow's tail occasionally leads to Tatiana's ex-husband.

“It's okay, Son. Mr. Elazar knows everything. We talked at length. Our chat is not only about the problem of buying and selling the company,” Rogelio said. He understood the body language Paloma showed.

“Oh, so you are interested in buying that company?” ask Sebastian.

“I don't have to tell you anything, Mr. Castaneda. You have no business with us,” replied Rogelio cold and ketus.

“Dad, please,” pinta Paloma slowly.

“It's okay, Paloma.” Sebastian smiled wryly. “I'd better go home,”. However, just as the handsome widower was about to turn to the door, Luz Maria's voice had managed to make Sebastian undo his intentions.

“Mama.” Luz Maria has taken a shower and changed her clothes. As usual, the one-and-a-half-year-old toddler always looks fashionable, even though he is still very small. Paloma is indeed pampering the princess only wayangnya, with clothes and accessories that make Luz Maria look very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Luz Maria walked towards Paloma. He smiled broadly, revealing his two-toed teeth. Paloma's biological daughter with Rafael, stepped while stretching her hands. “Mama,” call him once again with a typical pronunciation of a child who has just learned to talk.

“Ah, My dear.” Paloma lowers the body. He spread his arms as he greeted the approaching Luz Maria. After the boy burst into his arms, Paloma immediately kissed the beautiful face of the princess. “You smell so good, darling.”

“Small girl has taken a shower, Mistress,” said Kalida who was standing behind Luz Maria.

Paloma had not yet responded to Kalida's words, Sebastian first approached, then lowered his body. “How are you, Luz Maria?” greet that handsome forty-year-old man was warm.

Luz Maria is looking. Unexpectedly, the brunette toddler smiled widely, then patted Sebastian on the cheek while laughing cheerfully. Not only Paloma, Rogelio was even surprised by it. However, Rogelio did not want to bother. He sat back on the sofa, facing Elazar who had not said anything since.

“Sorry, Mr. Blanco,” Rogelio said. The middle-aged man continued his serious conversation with Elazar.

Meanwhile, Paloma seemed more interested in Luz Maria's attitude towards Sebastian.

“We chat on the side page only,” invite Paloma while carrying Luz Maria. The toddler enthusiastically moved both hands, trying to reach Sebastian.

“Do you want me to carry, son?” Sebastian extends his hand to Luz Maria. Making the daughter of Paloma puppets is more active moving, as if to jump from Paloma sling.

“Jeez, Darling." Paloma turned to Sebastian in disbelief. “Alright, if that's what you want." The widow of Rafael Hernandez raised Luz Maria. He gave his beautiful daughter to Sebastian.

“It turns out this is what it feels like to hold a child,” Sebastian said with a look of disbelief, as Luz Maria's head leaned against him. Paloma's baby boy wrapped his tiny hand around the man's neck.

“Mama,” said Luz Maria in an adorable voice. Makes the mother laugh.

“He could only say that one word,” Paloma explained as she chuckled. “Sit." Paloma leads Sebastian on a park bench without a table.

Meanwhile, Luz Maria is getting more active. Starting from playing Sebastian's hair that is slightly curly, to rubbing the fine hairs that grow on the chin of the handsome man. “Mama,” he said again with a big laugh.

“It feels like my soul is so peaceful,” Sebastian said as he kissed his forehead, and hugged Luz Maria. “Then, I always wanted to have descendants from Brishia. However, God's destiny says something else" he said regretfully.

“The years I have lived in loneliness and emptiness. Treasure doesn't help me much to be happy. The glitter of the world and all its temptations, it was not able to remove the sorrow in my soul." Sebastian stared blankly at the multicolored ornamental flowers, which lay before him.

"You haven't told me about your late wife. I see, she's very pretty and classy. It seems, your late wife is not from ordinary people," said Paloma.

Sebastian mumbled slowly. He smiled knot. "Brishia comes from a simple family. We dated for quite a while. However, I never knew that he was suffering from an illness. He's so good at hiding everything" Sebastian explained.

"Are you sorry?" ask Paloma.

Sebastian, who was playing with Luz Maria, turned his head. "Repent?" Sebastian laughed bitterly. "Why should I regret it?" The man asked back.

He turned his attention back to Luz Maria playing the man's necklace. Luz Maria tugged at the little leavened necklace earlier. "You want this, honey?" ask Sebastian gently. "I have a better necklace for you. You can have that thing, if your mother is willing to take it," said Sebastian who made Paloma immediately misbehaved. Moreover, when Sebastian looked over while smiling at him.

"Then, what will you do in the future?” tanya Paloma tried to shift the subject.

“Ending my solitude, Paloma,” Sebastian replied confidently. Making Paloma's blood rustle after hearing that.

“Are you planning to get married soon, Sebastian?” ask Paloma again.

“Yes, but only if you're willing to accept my proposal. I'll fight for it, Paloma. Maybe not now. I appreciate your condition which is still in a mourning mood,” Sebastian replied lightly.

“Gosh.” Paloma shook his head while laughing softly, in order to dispel the clumsy taste that did not disappear.

Paloma was astonished. I don't know what Sebastian's heart is made of. The man was still hoping for more, after all the bad behavior he had done. Sebastian, as if not take seriously all the unfriendly attitude, from Paloma and Rogelio to him.

“Why are you so obsessed with me?” ask Paloma.

“It is precisely I who should ask you, what spell have you cast for me?” reply Sebastian, accompanied by a crisp laugh both.

However, the laughter disappeared, as Rogelio stood before them. “Why is Mr Castaneda still here, Paloma?” rogelio asked, cold and cranky.

“Because I asked for it, Father,” Paloma replied as he moved from his seat.

“You know not that I don't like his presence here?” Rogelio cast a sharp look at Sebastian, who remained calm. The man had a conversation with Luz Maria.

“What are you bringing with you Luz Maria?" Rogelio's tone grew higher.

“What's wrong, Dad? Sebastian has helped me a lot in revealing the death case of Rafael,”, Paloma said immediately.

“Ah! Now you just mentioned Rafael's name. Don't make my son a shield. You don't look sad at all. Whereas, your husband's grave has just been completed,” scibble Rogelio.

“Dad!” sergeant Paloma. The pain is too great to endure. Paloma did not think Rogelio would say such hurtful words to his own daughter.

“I don't have to defend myself, Dad! God knows how my heart breaks. If you object because I'm smiling again, then you can throw me out again. Just like when you exiled me as a baby!” paloma said unconsciously.

“You!" Rogelio almost threw a slap at Paloma. However, he realized that Sebastian was looking at him sharply.

The middle-aged man was finally only able to clench his hands, restraining an unexpressed anger.

Rogelio was about to utter Paloma's words. However, he paused as Luz Maria surged in excitement in Sebastian's sling, while saying “Papa!”
