CHAPTER 4: LOVE OR ILLUSION

Once Ana was already in the group, better ideas began to emerge than when it was only Victor and I, there was no doubt that Ana's support was of great help; And, among all the ideas that she released, one was very good and surely Sol would be fascinated by ... it was that this time we had a breakfast on the beach and at the end we got on a hot air balloon, and finally ended up in a romantic dinner . Ana asked me what I felt about Sol and I remained silent before that good question, would it be love or a passing illusion of summer like the many that I have had? the truth that I still did not know what true love is; the closest I had or had to a supposed love affair was my relationship with Antonella, since they were more moments of fights and dislikes than joys; But with Sol, the opposite happened to me… I enjoyed the little time I had by her side to the fullest and almost everything was laughter and happiness, sensations that I had never experienced with any girl until now.

In that Ana with a click she lifts me up from the deep thought in which I had entered and she, laughing, told me: - Wow! Yes, that girl has hit your heart hard cousin because for her to leave you in that state ... With a simple smile I replied that it seemed so; Ana asked me what the name of my new "victim" was. After a sigh I replied: Her name is Sun, because literally she was like the star and that just by seeing her she illuminated the darkest night, her smile inspired you peace and tranquility, and her joy could heal even the deepest sadness and not to mention her peculiar way of being and her stubborn thinking that she could fill your patience, but still you would not stop loving her; and she's not a cousin victim, she's the love of my life… I think… I love her. After hearing all this, my cousins ​​in chorus told me that I was in love and they didn't stop until after a while.

While in Colán, Sol continued working as a normal day, she had earned much more tips than last time and decided to go home early so she could study longer. Yes, even if they did not believe it, Sol had the dream of entering the university to study medicine, since he liked to help others and wanted to save lives, but he knew that he did not have the financial resources for the career; so he was trying twice as hard to get it. At home, she greets her mother and leaves for her rShe knew that something strange happened to her every time she was close to him, she felt as if her heart was jumping from her chest to join hers and form one, a single beat, her hands were sweating a lot and nervousness took over her body only with seeing it; but she clearly knew about the social differences and the different worlds to which they both belonged. He sure after the summer continued with her life in some good, but expensive university or study abroad, instead she would still have to fight to get a scholarship at least in the University that she wanted to study, since it is the best in her class, but it was quite difficult to follow the race. Among other points, it was therefore impossible for something to happen between them ... at least that is what Sol thought that, although he knew that he was falling in love with Arán, he preferred not to make many ideas and take it only as a summer illusion and that was his response to his Mom, it's just a passing summer ...oom to study more calmly; A few hours passed and it was time for dinner. At that moment her mother decided to touch on the subject of Aran, very subtly, starting with how nice the little friend you brought to the house yesterday, daughter ... Sol just blushed and said: Yes, Aran is a good boy ... in the few days that I have known him, he has shown me how great a person he is, although he is very stubborn hahaha, he ends with laughter and his mother asked the question: - And do you like Arán ...? Sol was silent for a while while he thought about which one could make his answer

She knew that something strange happened to her every time she was close to him, she felt as if her heart was jumping from her chest to join hers and form one, a single beat, her hands were sweating a lot and nervousness took over her body only with seeing it; but she clearly knew about the social differences and the different worlds to which they both belonged. He sure after the summer continued with her life in some good, but expensive university or study abroad, instead she would still have to fight to get a scholarship at least in the University that she wanted to study, since it is the best in her class, but it was quite difficult to follow the race. Among other points, it was therefore impossible for something to happen between them ... at least that is what Sol thought that, although he knew that he was falling in love with Arán, he preferred not to make many ideas and take it only as a summer illusion and that was his response to his Mom, it's just a passing summer.

Mrs. Soledad was surprised at her daughter's response and said that in her time relationships were not like that, as liberal as they are now; That's when Sol's cell phone rings. When she answers, she is surprised that it was Arán who was calling her to confirm the day, time and place for the second appointment that had been pending. Sol was very curious to know what he had planned for their second outing together ... They both counted the days for the new meeting, there were nights where Arán did not sleep due to the arrival of the long-awaited evening, it was not enough to be alone talking through messages, but he knew he had to wait until that day for him to see her again. Then the day arrived, Arán left his house very early, so as not to arouse suspicion, very well groomed and perfumed to make a better impression in front of Sol. Meanwhile, she also got up early so as not to take so long to enlist, as other times it was the first time she did it, she usually delayed and made the boys she went out with much longer wait so that they would get bored of her from the beginning That was the way she said NO to love, since she was afraid that they would abandon her or that they would hurt her; but there was something with Aran that prevented him from doing so, he couldn't explain well what it was since for the first time all of this happened to him and every time he tried to return to normality, well, he couldn't.

Once on a beach called Cangrejos, where they had met, the two met again after a few weeks of just chatting. Arán wanted to run to hug her and Sol had the same desire to go to him, but they both got together since they did not want to appear desperate in front of the other, they greeted each other with a certain shyness and after a moment of silence, Sol asked him what is it. I had prepared for her, he just smiled and said: - You'll see when we get there ... They walked for a long time on that beach; Sol was already starting to feel tired from walking so much. Aran, seeing this, told him that they were already close, but poor Sol decided to sit down and rest for a while. Arán encouraged her to continue, but she did not want to continue any longer and in response to this, Arán apologizes for what he was about to do; Sol didn't understand it, until he took her in his arm and carried her. Sol asked to be lowered, but Arán ignored him; He replied that this way he would take her to the place so that she would not tire so much. Once they had arrived, Arán brought Sol down, who was still annoyed with him, but when he saw the food that he was taking out of his backpack, he was passing more by hunger than by reason.

Once seated, they both enjoyed the sea breeze and the pure air that was breathed; They rested for a while watching the celestial sky that morning, in which a call arrives to Arán confirming that everything was ready. He took her by the hand and led her to the highest stone so that she could see the surprise that she had in store for her; It was the hot air balloon that she had prepared to help her cousins ​​and it would be a ride through the heights in the company of her beloved Sun, she could not believe it and she was dying to live that adventure; Once at the top, Arán made the balloon go up, while Sol was a little scared by how far they were from the ground and each time they rose higher and higher, once more calm she realized how beautiful the view was and how She was close to the clouds to the point of almost touching them, Arán asked her if she had ever lived this experience and she answered no, it made her think about the adventures that she was only living with Arán; He was fascinated by how adventurous and fun he could do and how hard he tried to conquer her, to the point that he thought of giving him a chance if he declared himself without thinking that he could get hurt by the social differences they would face if they got to be together, but she was determined to take such a risk. He approached slowly and cautiously to Aran, he I hope they were very close to take her by the hand and say: -this celestial sky does not compare with the brightness of your eyes, the clouds of this day are lost between your soft cheeks and I am speechless with seeing your smile ... Sol blushed at those beautiful words that Aran said to him and when he thought that he was going to declare himself, he only changed the subject, leaving a small disappointment in Sol, who could not imagine the surprise that he had prepared for him later ...
