[Daniel]
I planned everything to ask for her hand after graduation. Of course, before I did that, I talked to my father and Rosa. This was because I wanted to know their opinion first. Not that I would change my mind if they disagreed, but I wanted to know.
Rosa was very excited. More than my father. He liked the idea and encouraged me, but Rosa was very excited.
“I want you to be happy so badly!”
“You know Lara is not an easy person, right?”
“But that's her way. You like her, don't you?”
“Of course I do. If I didn't, I wouldn't even be with her.
[Daniel]“I'm not telling you to go away.”“It doesn't matter! I'm going anyway!” “Where are you going?”“Wherever the devil takes me! Do you really care about this?” “Of course I care.”“Okay” she said cynically. “Let go of my bag.” She tried to pull, but I held on tight.“Stop being a child, Lara!” I said loudly. She took a deep breath and tried to pull again, but I held it back.
[Lara]I can't believe this is happening again! I am so angry! So much so that I left his house like crazy and didn't even think about anything else. I felt like an idiot for having believed that he would never again accuse me of something that I had nothing to do with.Of course, this was an illusion.It took a while, but he did it again and it took me out of myself. It was only when I was on the street and already far from the condo that I thought about what I was doing. I was going straight to the bus station and going home, but I couldn't leave Teci here. And I don't think I can take her in her current condition.Oh, shit! Everything has to happen at the same time! If Comet hadn't s
[Daniel]“Now tell me what you did” my father asked. Rosa came out of the kitchen. “I received this here.” I fiddled with my cell phone and showed him the video.“And?”“I went crazy when I saw it and waited for her to arrive.”“But this could be fake, Daniel.”“I know, Dad, but I was furious because she said that Gabriel did kiss her.” He frowned. “But I think she cut him off.”“You think? Would she be that angry if she hadn’t?”
[Daniel]I stood silently staring at her. She stared at me for a moment and then looked away. I was at the door and she couldn't get out, unless of course she hit me and ran over me.“Do you see me now?”She didn't answer and kept looking the other way. I approached her and she backed away.“Look, I know you're angry, but I want to resolve this situation once and for all!” “It's already settled, don't you think?” she asked without looking at me. “I don't think so.” “What do you want the
[Daniel]The next day I woke up feeling a little sore. I looked around and Lara was not with me. I sat up startled and realized that I was dressed. I don't remember putting on my clothes... “There you are! What a fright you gave me, son!” My father appeared at the door. “Where's Lara?”“Lara? My son, why did you close the door if you knew it wouldn't open from the inside?”“I...” “Lucky Miguel came by and opened it in the morning! He came to tell me he found you sleeping there alone.”“Alone?”
[Lara]I did what he said. Also because I was feeling really tired. I don't know what for, but I was. As soon as I entered the little room, Candy came towards me and jumped on my legs. I took her in my arms and sat down on the bed. Where is this tiredness coming from? I didn't do anything! But I was very sleepy. I lay down on the bed and dozed off for a while.I woke up with my cell phone ringing.“Hi” I said in a sleepy voice.“Are you feeling well, miss?” It was Lorenzo.“Yes, I just needed some sleep.”
[Lara]“But this is not something you talk about with male friends” I grumbled.“Okay, let's not argue. What do you intend to do?”“I don't know” I said nervously.“Don't you think he has to know?”“To say that it's not his or to suspect it?”“He wouldn't do that.”“There's no way of knowing for sure and I don't want to be accused again!”“But there will come a time when you won't be able to hide it anymor
[Lara]After much conversation with Gabriel, I had finally come to the conclusion that I had to tell Daniel about the pregnancy. I was scared to death, but I was going to do it. One way or another they were going to judge me, so what the hell.It felt like my heart was going to burst out of my mouth as I walked to the office where he was. Miguel who told me that he was there. I felt an enormous urge to run out after I knocked on the door, but I controlled myself.When I entered that place and saw the look of surprise on his face, the fear became even greater, but there was no turning back.Only Lorenzo showed up with a phone and it was from some competition. Surely he wa
A few months passed after I started training. Now my father - finally - let me jump the highest ones, but he was all the time standing close and watching every wrong move I made. And no, they were not the highest hurdles. He said that it takes time and to stop being stubborn. This stubbornness irritated both of us. His stubbornness in persisting in the same place, when I was already able to go ahead, and mine in insisting to increase.In the end he would get angry and take me home.When I told my mother about this, she laughed at me and it also made me angry. Don't they understand that I am not five years old anymore?But there was also a good side to all this... Sometimes my father couldn't stay and left Murilo with me to watch me. In these moments I would jum
I got up very early. I was very anxious. I hardly slept at all. Finally my father was going to let me start jump training with Lightning. It had been an argument for months, but finally he let me, but he will be by my side the whole time.My mom said that he did this to her too, but after a while he started to trust. Only it seems that with me he will never trust. I don't understand why that is. Lightning and I get along very well.I was sitting on the couch and waiting for him to show up. What's taking so long?“Are you ready yet?”I looked back and my father stared at me with his arms crossed. “We agreed on eight o'clock.”“Yes, and it
After telling Daniel the news and seeing that he was excited, I relaxed. I wasn't planning to have any more children, but I went soft on the medication and now I have an extra little gift...“Are you going to prophesy sex again?” I asked debauched.We had just left Manuela in her room and went to ours. I was dead tired! Too many children...“This time I don't know. I didn't even imagine that we would have another child.”“Me neither” I said thoughtfully.“Didn't you like it?”“I didn't want another child, I won't lie, but since it came...” I shrugged my shoulders.
It was Manuela's fifth birthday. Lara was back and forth tidying up for the party. The little girl kept watching and talking when she didn't like something they put on the table. Lara gave her that look that only the little girl understood. That "shut up now or I will shut you up" look. That was infallible. She always lost.The girl left them alone in the living room finishing tidying up. Apparently her opinion didn't count there.She pulled the stool out of the kitchen and tried to climb up. She almost fell, because it was high. Daniel always told her not to sit there, because she could fall and hurt herself.“What are you doing?”The girl looked to the side and Daniel was looking at her with his arms crossed.
I was waiting for Lara to appear. She was standing with her arms crossed at the gate of one of the stables' paddocks. I don't know how she managed to convince me of this, but...Manuela was beside me and very excited about her crazy mother's idea. Minutes passed and Lara appeared with Teci. “Mom, wasn't that going to be my horse?”“Another day. For the first assembly you will go with me.”I breathed a little relieved. She's not that crazy. I thought she was going to put Manuela on the horse and let her ride alone...Lara climbed on Teci and asked me to put Manuela on. I put her in front of Lara.
[Lara]We went on to where Teci was. The colt was a cutie. Black and white. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen! I can't believe I didn't like the idea when I found out she was pregnant. Daniel smiled looking at the little one. It was getting fed. “Is it male?”“Yes.” “He's very handsome.”“I know!” I said smiling.“For those who don't like the idea, you're pretty excited” he said sarcastically.“I changed my mind. Becau
[Daniel]The next day Lara woke up in a great mood. Even more so when I told her all the things we had to do. She was very excited. We went to the beach, which was in front of the hotel and Lara couldn't stop smiling. The water was clear blue and had fine sand. On the sand there were covered beds and coconut trees all around. “I knew this was paradise!”We put our things on one of the beds and I had to hold Lara to put on the sunscreen. She is worse than a child! We got into the water. The place was so perfect. I think everybody should get to know it. It is wonderful.
[Lara]It was so good! Too good to be true. Why did my mother do this? She knows I hate Larissa. She seems to do it on purpose.Daniel looked at me with wide eyes. I am very serious. If she doesn't leave, I will.“How do you want to get her out of here?”“If I have to, by the hair!” I said in a stressed voice. “Lara, I can't just kick her out.”“Why not? I don't want her here! And as I recall, the wedding is yours and mine, which means I have an opinion here too!”“I'm not saying that you
[Daniel]I waited patiently for the answer. Lara was thoughtfully looking at my face. She was on my lap. “What do you think is best?”“Go now to the church and get married.”Lara slapped me on the chest.“I'm serious!”“So am I.” “There's no way to go to the church now and do it.” “But we can go and set a date.”She l
