Fate or Coincidence? Part 18 FINALE!

And it came to the end of this story... When we arrived in Buenos Aires, I grabbed our suitcases and took a taxi straight to my parents' house to see who had gone to visit my mom, at which point she opened the door: -Hello ma...- I said -Hello Ana... hello my girls -she replied, giving me a kiss and my daughters -Hello grandma- Guillermo said -Holaaaaa... and what about grandpa?- Fran asked -He's in there, come on! -I'll leave them... I need to go see Martin -Daughter, he's here- Martin appeared with his low gaze and it was noticeable how much he had cried- try to talk, if you want to go somewhere else, do so. We're staying with their daughters -Hello Martin- I wanted to hug him but he pushed me away -No no get closer... what are you doing here? You told me not to come back and see you again... -Martin... I tried to tell you but... but they called you just then and... -Why didn't you tell me the truth about that guy? Why didn't you tell me from the beginning?? Did you really get together with him that day I left for San Luis?? Did you go back to sleeping with him???- I lowered my gaze and nodded with my head- and you don't even have the courage to look at me! Did you know that my mom went into that guy's house and saw a photo of you two kissing with that dedication?? The guy told her everything, everything, everything... you ended it with him and left with me, why?? Was it just because I was hot for you?? Have you never loved me??? -Of course I loved you... and I love you... but I never fell in love with you like I did with Gastón...- I started crying- but I loved you in other ways, in other manners because not only sex is lived and... -Yes... you just wanted us to screw -No... -Yes Anabella! -Noo no understand... we did other things too that made me realize that our thing would be stronger and much better: We got married, planned our life together, had our daughters... had that family we loved so much -But I'm not good enough for you! -No don't say that... after breaking up with Gaston I didn't see him again... it's been more than nine years since I last saw him- more and I crossed paths with him by chance that morning when we were going to see you... but I didn't think I was going to see him again that same day and then he invited me to coffee the next day and... -And what? Did they get together right there? -No, no, no. We had a chat, but I tried to leave because he was hinting at things like seeing each other again and stuff and I refused, I left... and from that moment on, he started following me! When I went to the supermarket, I would run into him, I'd go wherever he was and... -Regarding the company? Did you get involved with it? -No, no, not that. That's something I can swear is just a coincidence that both of us knew Marcelo and things happened like that -I swear you're not telling me anything true... even if it is true. I don't believe you anymore, Anabella! You and that trash laughed at me, killed my mom with sadness and impotence, do you know what that is, Anabella? That's called evil, that's being evil and screwing everyone! Now I'm going after my daughters and I hope you've brought all your things because I'm taking them to San Luis and getting an order to keep you away from me and them... -Martin... Martin let me talk, let me explain. I just want you to listen -No, no... it's over! When you had the chance to do something, you didn't, now I don't want to hear you anymore -Please... let me explain something. -Just fuck you for ten minutes and start counting from now on! -I was wrong not to have told you, I know. But I thought it was going to be that time and never again would I cross paths with him but he was obsessed with me, when I saw him again he said everything around him disappeared and the only thing that interested him was me. When I got out of the car that morning with our daughters, he was a little disappointed, but still he kept following me. He even followed me to the supermarket, he followed me when I went to pick up the girls from garden, I swear that having something to do with the company didn't seem possible to me that he would be involved, also regarding the restaurant... -What happened at the restaurant? -He saw me and said at the bathroom, he followed me and squeezed me while I was waiting -How did he squeeze you? -He made himself look silly asking me something and when I saw him, I froze -Why didn't you scream or do anything to defend yourself?? -No, I don't know why I didn't! -Because deep down, you liked having him there! -No, it's not like that... -Yes, of course it is. When faced with a violator or when one is in danger, one screams and defends oneself; the one who doesn't do so is because they like what's happening to them -No, it's not like that... and he approached me and kissed me, I tried to slap him and he stopped my hand and I went into the bathroom. It was so much anguish and I suffered so badly that my cheeks were very red... -Ah yes, yes... I remember. And you instead of telling me the truth there lied to me, saying it was because you had given me warmth from waiting... you were a liar... -And the house papers and my car that he bought, I have nothing to do with it... -Of course, if... it doesn't matter anyway. Now he managed to get what he wanted, which was to be with you, they'll be together and I'll be with my daughters... the only thing I ask now is for them to be healthy and for you to apologize with any lie like you did to me, lying to them that they'll go with me and you'll stay here alone! -No, no Martin... I can't do that. I can't leave them... at least let's have a shared custody -Noooooo, you're a terrible mother. Terrible woman. You won't let me get close to them!! -Martin... please... Martin...- I was crying on the floor and he went into my mom's house and got our daughters and they left through the other door that leads out to the garage, with their suitcases and things. My mom saw me from the window, came over and consoled me, I was disappointed, telling her: -Oh ma... I lost everything I loved most in this world... -Anabella... you must fight and show Martin that you love him -No, no it's too late... he doesn't want to listen to me. He doesn't want me near him. He hates me!! He hates me... I can't live without them three... -Already already... Ana... come in. Take water and recover. He was here asking me several things about you and some things I knew and you told me, I told him -What???? -Yes, you should have been always frank with him! He didn't deserve this! I said Ana, you should take care of your family, your husband and daughters... but I don't understand what's going on that you didn't listen to me to end up like this! -This is a nightmare! This is a nightmare... I want to wake up... -Ana... Anabella, daughter... hurry up, follow him... Find him... Talk to them and try to fix everything. Tell him you were wrong and you want to do things right and be with him and accompany him. That Gaston or whatever his name is doesn't exist in your life. Do it... Hurry up... -But... -Go ahead, Ana... he was going to his parents' house and I don't know the address but you do, they must be there -But... -Ana... hurry up. Today they'll be burying your mother-in-law, so Martin will be there. Don't let him go, fight for the love you have for him... Do you love him? -Yes yes yes... -Then go to our car and to their house. Don't let him go, he knows you love him, now he's hurt but if you don't try to fix it, he'll hate you for life -Why did you decide that? -Nothing... mature! Take the keys, I went with the car to Martin's parents' house, saw his car outside and there were a lot of cars and it looked like it was farther away and I called him on his cell phone to tell him I was here, didn't answer and left a message 'Martin, Martin... love... I'm here at my in-laws' house, that is your parents' house... I need to see you, I need us to talk. I love you, do you know? I love you so much...' And I stayed at the entrance of their neighbor's and looked constantly at my cell phone and was about to turn around when I heard someone coming from behind me, turned around and saw Martin -Oh Martin... -What's going on Ana... what do you want?? -I need to be with you in this moment, I need to accompany you like I always have, please hate me silently or hate me at another time but now not, let's be together to get through this moment. Your mom was very important to me, to you and to the girls... we have to take care of each other -Look at Anabella... I don't know what I did wrong for you to pay me back like that... -We'll talk about that later, but let me be with you today and until they bury your mom's body... told them? -No, not yet... but they ask because I'm so sad and I don't know... I don't know how to tell them... my girls will get very upset, my babies -Are your sisters here? Do they know what happened to your mom? My sisters are here, but my mom asked me not to tell anyone this aberration you did, because she knew that if my sisters and dad found out, they would hurt you a lot... and I... and I... I love you... I'll never let anyone hurt you, even though you... you... you slept with your ex behind my back! And I approached him and hugged him, he started crying while hugging me and I caressed him slowly, giving him that hug he needed, that we both needed. We went into the house, separated from the rest to talk to our daughters and tell them about their grandmother Lourdes' situation -This is very hard to tell them something that happened with Grandma Lourdes, but she... she... -Grandma went to heaven, she died- I said -Why? What happened? -She was a big person and... and... she got sick and that's why she died... but she told me that whenever you miss her, look up at the sky and find the brightest star, it will be her taking care of you -And what about Grandpa? Nonno? -Grandpa is sad, just like everyone else, but he'll come with us to our new house as soon as we take Grandma away -Where are they taking her?? I want to go... -said Fran -No, no Fran... this place is only for adults and big people because it's very sad and there will be a lot of crying and sadness, you'll stay with Tata and Mandy -I will, I'm going with them- said Guille -I won't... I want to go and see her- said Fran with his sad but very sure face make That same day was the wake and the next day was the burial. To be able to accompany Martin, I left my two daughters with my parents and stayed with Martin all the time, consoling him, hugging him, and holding him back so he wouldn't feel alone in that difficult moment we were going through. When returning from the cemetery, we drove back in his car with a cousin and an aunt of Martin's, leaving them at their house and going solo to Martin's parents' house -Martin... I want... I want to thank you for being able to accompany me to be with you... and I want to fight for what's ours and there won't be more secrets or lies... -Look Anabella... it's enough for today, let me be alone... because this is very difficult.. Many things happened together that passed, that I found out I still can't process. -It's okay, but I can't leave you alone... I don't want to stay here without you and our daughters. You're very important to me- I smiled at him and touched his hand -I don't want what's ours to end, because I love my beautiful one, I love you and loved you always... -He stopped the car at an intersection- I'll be whatever is necessary for us to be well, for us to be together and no more lies, will you promise me? -Yes, I promise! -I caressed his face -Look at me in the eyes and tell me -I promise Martin, that there won't be any more lies and I'll fight to show you how much I love you -And I promise as I did until now, to respect you, love you, take care of you and our daughters so they lack nothing- He gave me a soft kiss on my lips, I tried to open my mouth a little more and he stopped me- Tomorrow I want to see you again and give me time, please... -It's okay, love. I'll wait for you. We'll go back to San Luis together, the four of us or if it's with your dad too, I have no problems -As for that, I need to talk to my sisters... I need you to leave me alone and we can talk tomorrow? -Ok, love. I love you! -And I love you, Martin -We continue on our way left near my parents' house and he left The next day, early in the morning, I sent him a message - 'Good morning love. Are you awake yet?' And I got up to have breakfast with my parents and I received a message - 'Good day... wanting to keep sleeping or lying in bed' And I replied: 'Yes, yes, I also but I can't sleep alone. I'm used to sleeping with you and when I'm not by your side, I can't sleep well' -'I didn't sleep much, I missed you... and are the girls still asleep?' -'Yes, yes, I'll wake them up. Because I want us to be ready when you tell us' -'Type 10 will be there, give my big kiss to them and see you later. I love you!' I woke up the girls, they had breakfast, I took a bath and changed clothes. I prepared them for 10 am. Martin arrived at 10 am as always and when he got out of the car, he had another face much more similar to other days before when we were together - 'Hello beautiful good morning' -'Hello love, good morning. Come on, come in... -Permission... and my puppies??' -'Dad....' Fran and Guille screamed in unison. They hugged and I stood still looking at them with a heart full of emotion. We said goodbye to my parents and Martin thanked my mom for something and I afterwards hugged her and she whispered to me: 'Talking solves things!' -'Thanks, ma. I love you... I love them...' The girls hugged their grandparents and Martin left the car there and we took a taxi to the airport and took a plane to go back to our house Later that time when fate or coincidence put someone from my past in my path again, I never lied to my husband again, because Gaston would sometimes write me or call me and I wouldn't respond to any of his messages or calls. I'm still married to Martin, we love each other, and sometimes we have our intimate moments, never lacking those moments of mischief, passion, unbridled love that we had and now have when we're alone, since those two girls, today women grew up and became independent, leaving the house alone to do those things we used to do when they were little and sleeping or not there
