VALENTINA TOMMASO
The other day.
When I opened my eyes and saw where I was, I looked at the huge window and saw it as the hospital. And what I was doing here, I didn't know. I passed my hand again on my face, my head ached and saw that my hand was hurt. I didn't understand much. I tried to get up, my head wouldn't let me and the nurse came in.
"Calm down, lady, easy.
"What am I doing here?
"A boy brought you, you passed out at home. Are you better?
"Yes, I'm better. I need to go home. I have a lot to do. I moaned in pain and still couldn't get up. "I have a project to finish.
"No young lady, you have come here dehydrated and weak and need to recover.
When I passed my hand on my blouse, it was all wrapped up, passing over my leg. When I came back again, that I passed my hand near the blouse, I saw the button. And I had seen this button before and I closed my eyes and breathing and remember the navy-blue linen suit and Italian wooden buttons.
"What was this boy you brought me?
"A cat, black hair, blue eyes, strong, big face.
I looked at her again and I see you were delighted with him.
" Enzo?
"He didn't say he left as fast as he was running away, but he called several times at night.
"Thank you... When can I leave?
"As soon as you're high, but I think you're going to get a little longer.
"I can't, I need to go home.
"Calm down, you'll see the doctor first and then, if he lets you, you go home.
She left the room and I looked for my cell phone and saw that the phone was with my cold blouse on top of the stool. I still tried to catch up and give up lying down.
I push and get up picking up the phone and looking at the time and feel like calling him, but I thought it best to just get out of the hospital and talk to him in person and say thank you. I think it's better not to say anything he can confuse things I know that man. I'm sure you'll think I want to forgive you.
I couldn't believe he saved me again. He loves me. That he was already proving. That he was different. And that he wanted to be with me. But I wonder a thousand times whether I should forgive him or not? It would be a case of forgiving Enzo.
After all, after everything that's happened... I couldn't throw my life away one more time. When I looked again at the button in my hand... I knew it was his. I knew every shirt of that man. The smell of it. How I miss you. But I can't. I can't do things without thinking. I took my phone and put his name on the screen. I kept looking at the phone and the doubt between the desire to call and the other to send him gets screwed. I'll call or I don't. And I ended up squeezing. Alloy...
ENZO MORETTI
I left her in the hospital, I wanted her to be okay, I knew she was going to be okay, Valentina, it's terrible, she barely fed when she was living with me. I had to keep putting the plate in front of her to feed. Especially when she's got some work. I got out of there, but I knew she'd be okay. But I called several times, and the doctor promised me. I spoke to him in person, on the phone, several times and he told me she was fine. She was discharged and didn't call me; she didn't text me. And here I am, again locked in this apartment, looking at her house. I wanted to know how she was, I walked from side to side. And I saw when she came and went up the stairs with difficulty. And she still didn't know I was living facing her and that's why I didn't, so she wouldn't find out and could send me away again, like all the other times. I was taking my glass of wine in the middle of Monday night after a tiring day of work. Full of meetings and a new project. I looked at those papers on my desk and shook my head. And I couldn't concentrate, like I wanted to talk to her. And when I opened my eyes, the phone rang. I didn't believe it, it was her, it was Valentina. I was shaking, my heart throbbing, my legs wobbly. When I answered, I got to stutter.
Valentina, all right? I said scared, I didn't know what I was going to say.
• I'm recovering, Enzo, but we could have dinner, what do you think?
When she said that I didn't believe what was going on, did she fall and find out she loves me? I was speechless and almost laughing jumping with my phone in my hand.
Of course, I do. without words. "Can I pick you up tomorrow?
" Wednesday at nine. She's already given the order and I quietly accepted everything and almost kneel thanking me to what point I've come. "Tomorrow, I have an appointment and I'll see you on Wednesday.
"I will pick you up then Wednesday at nine and sleep well my angel.
She laughed on the other side, and I kept jumping into the room with the phone in my hand and I couldn't believe she was wanting me back.
"Does she want me back?"
Oh, my God, I can't believe it! I can't believe she called me! Does she know I saved her? I can't believe it! What am I going to do? My heart's racing! And I called my grandmother! I needed help and I didn't know what to do.
"Grandma, how are you?
"Enzo, all right, and you, my son? After all, I'm already here at your house making dinner.
What do you mean? Did I make an on? I've been so forgetful.
"We made sure I was having dinner with you tonight, and tomorrow you're going to take me to the church meeting.
"Whore who gave birth! Yell. "I forgot, but I'm getting there. I've run out and seen when she puts out the trash and I hide. "Wow, you won't believe it, she asked me out to dinner. I went home to talk to her and laughing and it wasn't long before I got home and ran to hug him all happy. "I'm here desperate, what am I going to do? I don't know what to wear or what to say.
"Calm down, you need to breathe, first you need to pack your clothes. The heart racing, I knew I was going to get her back, dinner burned down the house and I laughed. "I can't believe you forgot that we had to have dinner tonight.
"I forgot, Grandma, I forgot and Valentina's fault.
"My son is lost; I see happiness in his eyes.
"You don't believe me, she called me. And after all, we're going out to dinner.
"I don't believe, Enzo, that you will understand each other.
"I'm not the one who's not believing that she's going to forgive me after all this. She's going to be mine again, that's for sure. I was in another world laughing for no time. "Help me get some clothes.
"You look like a teenager when you go to meet your first girlfriend.
"She may not even be my first girlfriend, but she's my first. I held her tight. "I want to impress her.
"Then, for sure, my son, the roses and red, open the door, close the door and smile always. She screams. "You can't forget the compliments. "I'm so nervous, I don't even look like a designer, I don't recognize myself anymore.
" How about a navy-blue suit? Opening the closet she takes the Italian lead with buttons,
Golden. "This one will be perfect. She's going to fall in love well, she's already.
"Grandma, please don't give me false hope. I already have hope that she will forgive me.
Of course, you will. So, you're going to take her to the restaurant, that you guys always go together, and do everything the first time.
"Whore who gave birth, I hope she forgives me.
I spent hours with my grandmother and was thinking of all the
past and the night too long I still cost to sleep. Thinking I was dreaming.
- You look great, son, now just put it into practice.
"I love you grandma.
I spent time with her at the church meeting and soon she left, and I went to the company. I was there desperately, I worked running. I barely,
I was able to pay attention to my project.
"That's great, Carlitos, this project.
"No, of course not. It's all out of place.
"Please, I need to leave, I have an appointment.
"So go away, but I'm going to continue this project.
I left work early, with my heart in my hand, anxious, wanting an answer at once. That's when I got home, I took my bath in front of her house, desperately looking at her shaking hand. There I was looking again and saw when she left the room for the small room and was talking on her cell phone and laughing in a sky blue dress, so beautiful. She was almost ready, and I still had to put mine,
suit that was in bed and looked again and I did not know what to do. In front of the mirror, I was rehearsing what I was going to say.
"Valentina, I have so much to tell you, but I want to tell you that I love you. And even if you're hurt with me, give it to me,
a chance for us to start being a family again, to have children."
"No children, no, take away the children. She can remember the past, and then she's going to be mad at me.
I still took a deep breath and there I was ready in front of the mirror and went out to meet my love. At 9:00 p.m., at the end, I was outside her house. Waiting, with the car door open, the bouquet of flowers in her hand, and she went down the stairs, shook her head and smiled.
"Wow, it's very romantic, but I didn't need the flowers.
"I want everything to be different, Valentina. Then let's go.
I closed the door, she took the bouquet of flowers and put in the
back seat, and we went. I looked like a teenager laughing for nothing.
"And where are we going to have dinner?
" At our favorite restaurant.
" Lie! She said smile and I look happy. "It's been so long since I've been to that place. "Remember that it was raining, and we ended up there by chance.
"We went to talk about work, of course, and we agreed on our marriage contract.
"Let's not talk if we're not going to fight.
"No, really, let's forget and better talk about new projects, and yours as they are?
We arrived and stood at the same table the music in the background, the candles giving a romantic look and she smiled. Looking at every detail.
" It's still. And how's your project? Because I know you're working on your jewelry project for the big contest.
"Wow, I'm almost done. But there's something missing that I still don't know what. Something special for my last play.
"Maybe red roses with stones that combine ruby. What do you think?
"A perfect red ruby. It's true, it's true. She laughed.
" Red roses match a pure gold necklace.
"Wow, studded with red stones would be perfect. It's true, it's true.
Champagne is the wine giving the touch to dinner and I hold his hand and smile.
"You look beautiful! She lowered his face. "But tell me, I really want you to give me a chance to
to be able to tell you how much I'm wanting to start a new life over. And forgive me for everything, for the past, for the things I've done.
"Enzo, please, let's not start over. Today I came here because I want to thank you for saving me that night. When she said that, I shook my head,
without understanding anything. I thought she was forgiving me, that she was going to give me a chance to start over. "I want to apologize to you if I was rude to you, Enzo, but I want to thank you for saving me, taking me to the hospital, because I know it was you. I lowered my head and the disappointment stamped,
on my face.
"There's no point in saying no. She put the button on the table and I knew there was no denying it.
"Every time I wanted to hit you, I looked at that button and saw that you saved my life once again. When I looked into her neck, there was the necklace she made, with the park pendant. I held her hand and squeezed and i was sad.
"I saved you and I’d save you a thousand times, you know why? I love you, regardless of anything, everything that's happened. If you die, Valentina, I die together.
"Let's not start over, Enzo. I want to thank you for saving me, for you helping me with the project, on that project. And for now, you just gave me a new idea for my missing project.
"I'm here for this, to help you save you, to give your ideas. But dance with me, please. Let it be the last thing to please my night, since I saved your life. She looks at the track and laughs. "Don't you think that I deserve a dance?
" Enzo, but there's no one dancing.
"We may be the first to pull everyone into the hall and so we dance. Look at the music playing.
When I pulled her by the hand and took her to the salon, she gave a low, shy, reddish smile and I smiled said in her ear.
"It doesn't have to turn red; the hall is all ours.
And when I pulled her by the waist, and squeezed her in my arms, I smelled her. I still put my mouth right next to his neck and I smelled it in the middle of a sigh.
"I love your smell. When I raised the other hand, that song played, she sighed by putting her head on my chest, I would die there.
" Enzo, what are you doing? You'd better not go on.
I knew she'd remember the music we danced in the
our marriage. I closed my eyes and she wanted to get out of my arms, I held her in my arms, and I didn't let her out. I squeezed it like it was the last time I was feeling it in my body. And she was trying to get out and I pulled her out.
"Enzoooo... holding her in my arms, smelling her. "You can't do this to me.
"I know you remembered it's our song, Valentina. The music of our wedding. And even if you want to forget, I remember every moment, every touch, every time. And that night comes into my mind every night that I can't sleep. And even though you said you forgot me, I feel like you still love me, just like I love you. And today I want to remember everything we've lived through.
Our music, our dinner. The roses and the necklace around your neck. When I said that, the music was over. She ran out of the hall, dropping everything off the table. And I realized I still had a chance with her.
"You can run away from me, Valentina, but you still love me.
