Chapter 46

“Eh women, here they are,” Fatima is already with a glass in each hand, this woman will never change, “damn there are many men here, I think I'm going to fuck today,” the idiot doesn't stop walking around the place.

"And I thought the dog was me," Carla murmurs.

“My mother,” Fátima moans, “I think he gave me a vaginal infarction,” she bites her lip, “look at that man who is standing there, that bearing, that body, those big eyes and of course that hard ass that must have,” wanting to know who she is lusting at, I look in the same direction as her.

“He is good, isn't he?” A voice behind us makes us turn, “it’s a pity he's only mine and I'm not going to share,” before us is that woman I met one day, “hello Marilí, I'm Catherina Miller. Do you remember me? We met a month ago if I remember correctly, in Amador,” remembering her makes me smile.

“Of course, the Queen,” the woman opens her arms to me and I reciprocate her embrace, “girls she is Catherina, she is out for a walk here in Panama and is the wife of the man we were looking at,” I say the latter looking at Fatima, which is worth very much a little bit.

"Well, your husband is good, I can't deny that, but I respect what is foreign and it can be seen that you are armed to take up" Fatima holds out her hand, “I'm Fatima.”

Catherina smiles, “if you knew everything I've had to go through, you'd understand me, it's a pleasure, Fatima," she greets.

"I'm Carla, it's a pleasure." In the same way, she said hi to my best friend.

"But so much beauty together," my sun embraces me from behind and kisses me on the cheek, “ladies, you are beautiful, what a happy night I have." We all look at him delighted.

"Girls," Lucelia arrives "is it me or those 3 men are looking at Francesco as if they wants to kill him?" We all turned to the place we were looking at minutes before, and indeed Sebastian, Kahin and Loan have fire in their eyes, I can't avoid laughing heartily. "My God, how mistrustful of those men," she whispered amused.

"Mom," a child approaches Catherina, just looking at him I see his father reflected in him, “Mane has me fed up, he doesn't stop saying tacos, he wants to do whatever he wants and doesn't obey me." He's angry, that seriousness should not be of a child.

"Look, what I'm going to tell you is to be hateful, I'm a woman and therefore I'm a book, so fuck you!"

"Manedick!" Shout Catherina and the boy at the same time, “that mouth!" Adds the boy.

The girl who also looks like her father just smiles, “love me or hate me, but I won't change.” I look at her puzzled, that girl can't be more than 6 years old.

"Are we cats and dogs?" A third child arrives, this one looks like the woman, "Manedick, Dad wants you to take your tail to where he is," The little one smiles.

“My God, I'm sorry about this, it's not easy being the mother of 3 children spoiled by their father,” Catherina looks at her children, “the three of you, go away with your father and stop bothering me, don't make me angry or you will pay me, understood?” The children now with no fun on their faces gives their mother a kiss and leave, “I regret that, they have an uncle who is a disaster and hey the twins are 7 years old and my Sebastian is 6 years old. They are a sponge!” she smile.

"Easy, my son is only three months old and he already wants to order me like his father does," I reassure her, "we just have to put a heavy hand and that's it. It doesn't take long,” all of them watch me take my son in my arms and walk towards Kahin, who looks at me and smiles.

"Sweet," he says in greeting mode.

"Good evening gentlemen," I greet, "darling, your son wants to be with you," I give him to him.

"Look daddy, a baby. I want one, I want one," shouts the girl pulling her father's pants. The man chokes on his drink, once he recovers himself, he takes his daughter in his arms.

"Honey, you already have your twin and your younger brother, why more brothers?”

The girl makes eyes at him, “mom has one in her tummy, I've heard her speak with Aunt Martha, with Aunt Luna, with Aunt Miriam and with Aunt Mikeila, I already want it to be here.” Sebastian's face color is gone and my brunette starts to cackle like crazy as he taps his shoulder with his open hand.

"I think I should retire," I whisper and leave without looking back, when I arrive and see Catherina smile, it makes me want to say what her precious daughter has done and I finally tell her, “your girl has told her father that you have a baby in your tummy,” the woman opens her eyes in bewilderment and looks over my shoulder, judging by her expression, her husband is watching her.

"I love her, she is my daughter, but she is a professional gossip," she growls. "My mother, my mother, what do you think? I'm 31 years old and I'm on my way to my fourth child…”

“Hey, congratulations woman,” interrupts Fatima like the reckless she is, “as long as the factory is ready, you bring into the world everything you want. Just tell your husband to relax, I think he feels like a fool,” she laughs and I out of pain, I start to laugh, that scene is funny.

“We weren't supposed to have any more children,” Catherina added and between my friends and my sister-in-law, we tried to reassure her until we finally succeeded.

We had the best time, Catherina is as crazy as Carla and Fatima, I cannot believe the past of that woman and what she is now.

"It's precious time," I hear Francesco say, "we must go."

I frown, “here are you going?" I ask without hiding my tone of disgust.

"Marilí please," Lucy looks at me imploringly ,"I'm just asking you to cover me, please."

I glare at Francesco, I don't like how he's taking things, “Wonderful...”

"Shut your mouth better," I interrupt without looking at him, "I'll do it for you, but Lucelia," I shut my mouth and look at Francesco, I see the fear in his eyes so I don't say anything, “okay, we are almost done, you must leave as soon as possible,” they both smile at me and leave without turning back.

“Sweet honey, say goodbye, our son must rest now,” Kahin takes him out of my arms.

“It was a pleasure Catherina, if one day I go to Brazil I promise to visit you,” I give her a hug and a kiss, “congratulations on the baby,” I wink when I part, as my friends are in her world, I don't say goodbye.

"Where's Lucelia?" He looks at me but I don't look at him.

"She's gone with Fatima, she's going to be fine," I says no more, we got to the car and immediately went home. My son was exhausted so he falls asleep once I feed him.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Seeing the fury reflected in his eyes alarms me, “is that a damn joke? Do you think you can play with me?”

Not knowing how to react, I approach him to hug him but he moves away, “what are you talking about, love? Why have you gotten like that?”

Kahin comes closer to me, "Lucelia is with that damned Italian and you've tried to hide it from me," he yells in my face.

"Kahin you're losing control, you must calm down please ..."

"Calm me down? How he couldn't have you, now he's going to get my sister, I'm going to kill that son of a bitch,” he walks to the drawer and opens the first drawer, I see him pull out his gun.

"Kahin, stop ... You can't do something stupid like that," I try to stop him, but it's impossible for me, “she's not a girl, she can make her decisions," I cry when he doesn't pay attention to me. "You can't decide for her Kahin, have you ever wondered why she stayed away from you for so many years? You felt that you were taking care of her, but it was not like that, you were taking away her freedom, her life. Kahin you can't keep her locked up for fear that someone will make her suffer, she must feel, live and do the things she wants to do,” my husband looks at me furiously, his breathing is so noisy that he looks like a bull, I approach him and take the gun from him.

“Let her live honey, please, you can support her, but not tell her how to do the things,” I take his cheeks between my hands and caress them with my thumb, “you must calm down my love. Just as you are, you can only make things worse,” I take him by the hand to go to bed, he resists a little, but I manage to convince him. In bed I begin to kiss him, I want him to calm down, “I saw a woman very close to you today,” I say between kisses to change the subject and discreetly reproach him.

"I can't handle your jealousy," he answers a little calmer, I smile for that, we must change our way of being, or this can get very toxic and destructive.
