4.- ETERNAL LOVE. PART TWO.

-Hi daddy.

-What happened daughter?

-We have everything ready, so it's time for us to tell mom everything, pack your bag and leave.

Her dad answered sadly.

-I'm sorry daughter, but I can't leave your mother alone.

-I would not feel good if you stay here forever, I would be worried about you, dad, please, besides, your room is already prepared.

-I know, I know, daughter, but look, let's agree on something, you and me, give me a week with your mom and then I'll leave, anyway, you can't be alone, there's always someone who wants to be smart, seeing that you live alone.

-You see daddy how much we miss you, but yes, you are right and you can come whenever you want and at whatever time you want, it's ok, it's your house daddy.

So that's what they were doing when their mother arrived and when she came in and saw them all together, she saw them and said to them:

-And now what are you all up to, because it is very strange that you are all together, what is wrong with you or what do you want, you just come to wash, because that's all you are good for, to wash", she sat down and then she told them: "Well, you will say it and quickly, I have a lot to do, not like you who are a bunch of idiots.

Karina answered:

-Yes, yes mom already bluntly and speaking directly, it is because we are here with you, to tell you that we are leaving, we are not going to live with you anymore.

Karina was about to start explaining, when she abruptly interrupted her, stood up and told them:

-So, you don't want to be here anymore, so out we go, out we go.

Karina's younger sister Lola said to her:

-Yes, yes, yes, of course mom it's not necessary to run us out, I'm just going to get my things and we'll go.

At that moment she stood up to get her things, when their mother stood in front of them, covering the entrance to the bedroom and said to them: "No, no, no, not if you are going to leave:

-No, no, no, no, if you want to leave, you will, but without anything I am not going to give you anything, so leave, but without anything, everything you have, I bought it with many sacrifices, so that you come with the idea that you are going to leave.

While she wished them this, she thundered her fingers, but Karina tried to calm her down and told her:

-But mom wait, it is not necessary that we leave like this, that you get angry and see well what you are doing, you are running us like this, we can no longer come to see you mom, react.

And her father also tried to calm her down by telling her:

-But woman, don't be like that, after all they are your daughters.

She said to them:

-So you also get like that on their side, well you also get out of here with them, but quickly and that's it.

As she said this, she pushed them towards the exit of the house, she did it so fast that when they least thought it, they were already outside in the street, standing, the mother locked the door and they, the four of them, the three of them and their father, stayed outside, looking at each other without knowing what had happened. Then through the window, the woman began to throw Karina's father's clothes, so they immediately began to pick them up, the woman continued cursing, so after picking up her father's clothes that each of them had in their hands, they turned around, took a cab and went to their apartment, nobody said anything, their mother had left them dumb with her attitude, none of them imagined that she would react in such a way, so aggressive, when the cab driver told them:

-This is it.

That was when they kind of reacted and said:

-Yes, yes, thank you.

Her dad paid the cab, then Karina approached her dad, who also did not know what had happened and said to him:

-Look daddy, here is where we are going to live.

So she hugged him, took him by the shoulders and so they entered the hallway, went up the stairs, her sisters opened the apartment and entered, when their father entered they immediately showed it to him, he was very happy to see what his daughters had achieved without the support of anyone, especially Karina.

As time went by, Karina, her father and her sisters felt more at ease, at least they could get home with peace of mind, without the uncertainty of arriving and starting to argue with her mother, everything was peaceful and harmonious, so time went by, they knew nothing about her mother.

His father went to look for her several times, but she did not open the door and ran after him every time he went until one day he knocked on the door and a chubby, paunchy man with a mustache opened it:

-You see how easy and how fast it was to make up for you good for nothing I am no longer alone so don't come back anymore and go with your daughters' pirujas who are just like you good for nothing.

And they closed the door in his face and he was so surprised that he didn't have time to say anything so he just turned around and went home very crestfallen, he walked through a garden and sat down on a bench, shook his head and put his hands on his face, it was as if he didn't want to accept what he was realizing but he had to accept it but for him it was so hard to realize that his wife never loved him and was only with him out of interest, he had met her in a dive. When he saw her he immediately fell in love with her and after going to see her several times he asked her to marry him and she accepted immediately but it was only to get out of there it is not possible that for twenty five years she was cheating on him then he shook his head stood up, put his clothes back on and went to see his daughters he was so proud of them when he got to the apartment they were all three eating Karina got up immediately and said to him:

-Daddy how nice that you arrived sit down and I will serve you lunch.

He did so, then Paula, his other sister, asked him:

-Daddy, what did she say to you? My mother probably insulted you as is her habit.

He saw them and did not know whether to tell them or not, but he made up his mind and said to himself "they have the right to know" so he told them:

-You know that I have never forbidden you anything and I have also never asked you for anything.

Karina said to him:

-What do you mean daddy what did my mom tell you.

He continued:

-Let's see without any more detours I don't want you to go to see your mother until she looks for you to ask you for something if that happens give it to her if you can but that you go to see her no, no and no.

-But why dad? -asked Karina.

They looked at each other and could not understand what their father was saying:

-Well, today when I went to her mother to leave her the money I had set aside for her so she wouldn't miss anything, I found a big surprise when I knocked on the door, a big man came out and she was behind him, they insulted me and ran me away, so she is not alone anymore and she doesn't need anything from us.

They were also speechless because it was only a week since they had left her and she already had a partner, they understood everything, but out of respect for their father and themselves they did not say anything, but they realized why she did not have enough money and why she was almost not at home, her mother had a lover, then Karina said:

 -Well, since things are like this with our mother, let's turn the page, let's not talk about it anymore and let's move on as my dad says, when she looks for us, if we can help her, we will if we can't, we won't. When the time comes, we will see what we will do, daddy, what do you say we go to the movies and have dinner in the street?

Her sisters replied:

-Yes, if we go to the square to the movies and dinner.

Their father answered:

-Yes, yes, yes daughters.

The three of them got up, hugged their father and got ready to go to distract themselves from the unpleasant moment they had gone through with the news that their father had given them.

Time went by, but one day at Karina's work, while Karina's boss was in the office, he asked Karina, "How are you?

-How are you doing? Do you have any commitments or plans for this Saturday, Karina?

She saw him and laughed with him and said: "No, not because Mr. Lopez:

-No, not because Mr. Lopez.

-Because I want to invite you to a party at my house with several important people for the company and I would like you to be present so that you can meet them, it is very important for me that you know them and they know you.

She said to him:

-Just one question sir.

-Yes, tell me.

-And why is it so important for me to attend this meeting? I don't see the point.

He replied:

-A well you have been promoted from your position you are now my assistant so when I am not here you are going to make all the decisions in this company.

-Really, sir, or are you just playing a joke on me?

-Karina, I don't make that kind of jokes, the office next to me is your office.

Then another young secretary came in and the boss said to her:

-Look, Amalia is your secretary, she will always be by your side supporting you in everything you need, so as you can see it is very important that you attend the meeting on Saturday.

-Yes, yes, of course.

-And of course, as far as your salary is concerned, it has increased more than five times and I have nothing left to do but congratulate you and go to work.

Karina went to her desk to take out all her things and when she got to her desk there was already another girl waiting for her, she was the new secretary of her boss at her house with her sisters and her father and they celebrated with a big dinner at a great restaurant. The company gave her a car when she didn't even know how to drive so she learned how to drive. Finally the day of the meeting came and she got dressed up in a beautiful silver dress she looked so pretty and elegant, her short hair showed off her body and her face with little makeup she was so pretty she didn't need much of it she wanted to wear it, She wanted to bring her sisters but this meeting was more about work so she decided to go alone when her boss arrived he immediately received her and gave her his arm and began to introduce her to all the guests so she sat down next to a small table where she put her soda she ordered from there she saw everyone she was satisfied with what she had achieved she went through her mind everything she had gone through the effort and sacrifices she had to go through when a boy came and sat next to her and told her:

-How about the little party how do you see it.
