Chapter 32.- "Sweet Coffee"

By Lina.

We are already in the month of August more specifically on day six, every time I look fatter but Aaron says that I am his little ball full of love, on the other hand my sisters say that I look like an elephant and that at any moment I will explode, at first I cried every time I heard that but now I don't do it anymore it seems like hormones and my princess no longer takes it so badly since every time my sisters said that she moved as if protesting.

Aarón's birthday is four days away, his brothers and his mother are organizing a surprise party for the love of my life. In fact, at this moment I am in the bakery of a friend of my mother-in-law tasting the cake that will be given that day.

- And tell me Sandy, could you make this three-tier cake? - I tell him at the same time that I put another spoon of cake in my mouth, oh my God, it's great!

- Sure heart, just give me the address and I will personally take them. - she tells me with a kind smile, the truth is that she is a very kind lady

- Yes, here is an invitation to attend the party.

- There is a beautiful heart! Margaret was not wrong when she told me that you were a sun. - she says it receiving the invitation.

- Well, thanks for everything but I have to go, in the invitation comes the address and here I leave my phone number in case you need something.- I say giving him a piece of paper and a big hug.

- Very good dear, do not worry everything will be wonderful that day, try not to stress yourself, it can hurt your baby.

Yes, thanks for everything, I hope to see you that day and also take your family, I'm sure they will have a great time.- I comment as I leave there, being next to the truck I can see how Don José the driver is waiting for me with the door open.

We said goodbye and without further ado I get into the truck.

- Don José, can you take me to my father's company please.- I see him nod.

I feel how my cell phone rings, when I take it out I see that it is a private number, I am undecided I do not know whether to answer or ignore the call, I can only think that it may be him, but I disappear that idea from my head since I have not heard from him for a long time , so without further answer.

- Well.- I hear silence, I'm thinking of hanging up when I listen to ... it can't be.

- Lina we need to talk. - and without more hangs up.

By Aaron.

In a few days I will have my baby in my arms I will be able to feel her after this long wait, since I found out that I was on my way I have been filled with joy and longing to meet her.

Seeing Lina changing over the months is a beautiful privilege and not to mention feeling how my princess moves in her womb, I still remember the first time I felt her, everything was so unexpected and even more the feeling that it produced in me.

Flashback

Today is May 10 so we are in the patio of my in-laws' house, my father and my father-in-law are roasting meat, my mother is part sausage, I am preparing alcoholic beverages, Lina is sitting next to her friends talking I don't know what I just see her smile like she hasn't done since Natt disappeared, my friend is not well, he just goes to work, he works and just leaves, he hasn't talked to me since that happened so I don't know how it's found?.

I see how everyone comes to the table to eat, I bring a jug of fresh water, a jug of orange juice, a jug of cleric and cold beers in a cooler.

They all eat very pleasantly, my brothers are arguing about how ... the truth is, I have no idea, I only see that my sister gets angry and María José only laughs at whatever they say, my mother and my father talk about how it was the vacation of a month ago, my in-laws listen to them very attentively, Lina does not stop laughing at something that Maria says.

So we continue for what I think is ten minutes when I hear a "Hello, family" when I look up I can see a drunk Carlos, misaligned and with sad eyes, they are sadder and more depressing than Angelique's time in London, alone Seeing him hurts my heart because he is like my brother and I would not know in what way to understand what I am feeling at this moment, without wasting time I get up and go to hold him since he is so drowned in alcohol that he cannot even walk, I don't really know how I got here without anything happening to him.

Seeing that I approach him, he walks to my direction, and embraces me in that embrace he makes me understand that he does not want to be alone and that he does not leave him any more, in his ear I say "you are not alone brother, you are not" , he just smiles. Looking up, I can see that she has tears on her cheeks.

"Carlos, what happened?" I hear how Lina walks towards us when I feel her behind me, Carlos looks down at her belly.

"Well, apparently my nephew has grown a lot since the last time." Unable to stop him, he falls to his knees near my little girl's belly, he touches it with fear and insecurity, when he touches it, he caresses it very delicately as if he were afraid of damaging it.

- My love you have grown, but I will never be able to meet you. - What he says he has not told anyone in particular or so I think, apparently he is not here.

- Come son, let's go home you need to rest and a bath.- I see how my father-in-law with the help of my brother takes him to his bedroom. Behind them goes my mother-in-law with watery eyes.

"There are Elos! Poor him, what can we do my life?" I feel like Lina takes my arm, I turn and hug her.

- I do not know my love, but she needs us a lot.- when she says that I see her directly in the eyes, I wipe the tears spilled on her beautiful cheeks, I get closer to be able to kiss her forehead but when I do I feel a strong blow in my stomach, To feel it again I hear how Lina complains low.

- What was that? Was it…? - I can't even finish asking when I feel another kick and I only see Lina nod since my eyes are full of tears that I wasn't aware of until now.

- Yes, if my love apparently our baby decided to demand attention. - he says it with a look full of mixed feelings of those I'm sure we share.

I only wait for the day of your birth my love, you do not know the desire I have to have you in my arms and to be able to kiss your beautiful face, I have no choice but to wait.

End of Flash back.

That day was magical, I realized that in a few months I would be the father of only God that, if a girl or a boy, the truth is that I do not care if it is only I ask God to come healthy and full of blessings for him and all his family.

Since that day I did not leave my friend alone, he did not want help but since that day I did not even ask him, I just did not go away, like my beautiful wife, who has not left him alone for nothing more than to sleep and that only because I convinced her to give him that short space.

For my part, I'm looking for Natt, I just hope I'm lucky since Carlos has not been lucky, I hope she is reasonable with me and good, that at least she wants to talk to me, otherwise I have no idea how I will help my friend.

In Spain things are going "well" since we still cannot find the rat that we have infiltrated, it seems as if he knew our steps, the truth is that I am not calm but my father insisted that he would fix it, he decided that he would leave tomorrow traveling for God will know how long to solve that problem.

I am in the cafeteria that María José quoted me, the truth was that it seemed strange to me that she wanted to talk to me since she and I are not very close.

I see her at the door sweeping the place to find me when she locates me, I only wave her hand, when she sees me she smiles and approaches as quickly as possible, while she comes I can see how she draws the attention of several boys and the truth is that she does not surprise me anymore that she is very pretty and her personality is very nice.

- Hello, sorry for being late, the traffic at this time is horrible. - he apologizes as he sits down and gestures for the waiter to come over.

"Don't worry," I say with a small smile.

"Tell me, miss," says a young man about eighteen years old.

- Can you bring me an American coffee please.- he says with a smile.

- Sure you do, and for you miss? - He tells me with a smile.

- A peppermint tea please and a crepe with cream cheese and red fruits.- he nods and leaves without further ado.

- Well ... you will say why did I speak to you like that all of a sudden? - I can only nod, the truth is that I notice her a little restless.- Well, look, what happens is that ... -he takes a breath and lets it go strongly.- I heard my dad yesterday in a very strange phone conversation and the truth is She is intrigued, I couldn't tell my mom because I don't think she will listen to me and my sister is a bit distant from me and my brothers, well they are busy and I don't want to bother them with this.- she pauses and I don't know whether to ask her what is what happens or let her speak for herself.

- Look Lina, my dad is strange he always has been and I don't know whether to ignore this but ... I think he is the one who is causing the lack of money in the company.
