chapter 6
TRUE LOVE NEVER SAYS GOODBYE
She had never believed in fairy tales, but she understood that happy endings could come true. She had the most wonderful person in the world by her side, and because of that, she understood that the only words that would define her for the rest of her life were two: never and always.I would never leave him again; I would always be by her side. He would never give up his happiness; I would always love him. Until the last breath, maybe even later. In this life and in the next.EpilogueFive years later, the phone would ring again. I owed; She had to prove to herself that she was over it, at least in part. She had been planning it for a long time, but she had lacked the determination necessary to overcome her fears. It was clear to him that it was his duty to break that insurmountable barrier that had made his life impossible for five years.Not everything had been easy; there were times when she wished she would never open her eyes again, because the simple act of breathing caused excruciating pain. He had tried to kill himself a second time, but none of it would come back. That was ancient history, and she was no longer the same young and insecure. She was twenty-nine years old, the same as Angy when all the chaos happened that took her most valuable possession. However, Nora had transformed, being the victim of a complete metamorphosis. His hair was still shiny, his eyes were the same blue, but the message they conveyed was still a mystery, like a missing soul. She went from being an extrovert to a totally absent woman, at least most of the time. He didn't talk much, and it was necessary that he have his space. She needed to have every minute of the day under supervision, analyzing it so she wouldn't lose her temper. It was vitally important that she keep a busy mind, feel fulfilled, and see herself as irreplaceable. He deserved a place in the world, or at least that was what they had been trying to make him believe all along. She had changed jobs, and if at the time she didn't get along with the plants, now she spent the day cleaning in some offices, and all because that was the only way to try to get around the fact that within herself there would always be that human stain, that nothing and nobody could eradicate. It was marked, and there was no possible remedy.He hated many things, but he had learned to control the fury within. Despite opposition from her parents due to the decision to live alone, she did not give in. Her apartment was spacious and bright, and although she had been advised not to spend too much time alone, that was what she did. He knew that he could control it, that each new day was a battle won, a relief from his injuries. Her heart had been broken, but she could always get back on her feet. No one else would do it for her.She took refuge in her most fervent friends, Cata and Vera, and occasionally allowed herself the luxury of going out for a drink as the night began. He had met many men, but had not been able to move from there. A couple of names, phone numbers, but then I was never able to answer calls. She firmly believed that she was not cut out for that kind of thing, that had been proven. However, and to everyone's surprise, his life was shaken by the chance meeting with his old co-worker in the greenhouse, Oliver. She had always liked him, and in the end, before she knew it, she owed him the reason for her slight smile. It had made it possible for him to believe that everything could change again, only for the better. That's why she hadn't slept alone for a few months. He had become her shadow, willing not to drop her. They had been together since the last year and had been accepted by Nora's parents. She was seen as transparent, and of course he was crazy about her. He went out of his way, had accompanied her to therapy, endured all her depressions, ups and downs and screams. He was tenacious and knew what he wanted. It was different, or so it seemed. At first Nora warned him that she couldn't be what he expected her to be. He had hinted that he would not give her a chance to get close enough to see her for what she was. He considered him a simple support, someone with whom he could keep loneliness at bay, the person with whom he could fill that other side of the bed, but as the months passed he was able to show him everything: understanding, affection, affection , unconditional dedication, infinite patience and above all, something that he thought would never knock on his door again: love. Of course, it could never be the same as what he experienced with Dorian, but he decided it was best to give himself a chance, and Oliver had certainly done his best to win his heart. She was not yet determined to hand it over to him unconditionally, but at least it was already a beginning, the beginning of something. He had learned to live from day to day, without having great expectations for the future. It was better not to expect anything good, that way he would have control of his world. The long-term commitments were a fraud, especially the bogus commitments. I would never be a victim again.Something inside his head activated one day, and he knew he had to, he had no choice. It was his way of closing the circle, of leaving nothing pending, of turning the page. He was aware of the danger he was running, because his emotional stability was at stake and daring to open the door of the past was going to be a challenge. That is why he preferred not to say anything to Julia and Vladimir. With some fear he confessed it to Oliver. At first, he flatly refused, but since they didn't bring it up again, Nora let him believe that it had just been a simple idea, incapable of being carried out. However, he was wrong. I had already decided.She had been awake for hours that morning, even before the sun came up. It was the perfect opportunity to leave, to do what he had to do, but he couldn't leave without saying anything to her; Oliver deserved an explanation, a slightest warning of his intentions. But before all that, she watched him as he slept, his hair tousled and his face relaxed on the pillow. He was very attractive, but she did not depend on him obsessively. He had wanted intensely only once, and it would not happen again.He prepared a simple bag with clothes, documentation and everything necessary; I wasn't going to take too long to get back He looked at himself in the mirror and perceived a determined woman, with insecurities but above all with courage. In a way her old temperament hadn't left her entirely.He was finishing the coffee he held in his hands as he looked out the window when he noticed a figure across the room."Go back to bed," he said softly, "it's still early.""I've had a nightmare," Oliver whispered. I woke up and I saw that you were not there.He smiled slightly."Well, here I am, you can rest easy." He finished his coffee and set the mug on the mantelpiece. You have to rest.Oliver passed a hand across his forehead and sighed. His face was half asleep, as were his eyes.-You are not going to work?"No," she replied. I've taken a couple of days off.-Why? You hadn't told me anything…"Because I need it," she said quickly. I have a pending matter."Yeah…"Nora gulped and approached him with a couple of steps."Listen, I have something to tell you."However, Oliver didn't seem to hear that last sentence. His brow was furrowed and his eyes were on the bag that rested on an armchair.-What does this mean? He said, pointing to the bag.Nora didn't hesitate."I think you already know."He clenched his jaw and was quiet for a few minutes. He seemed puzzled, although he was not at all unknown to him. He had just been trying to avoid the subject, that was obvious."Then it's true," he murmured, the line of his mouth blurred. You are going to do it.Nora blew out the breath behind her teeth.-Yes."I thought you weren't serious, that it was just an idea that didn't even…" "Well, you're wrong, Oliver." She ruffled her hair. It's decided, I'm leaving in a couple of hours. I have a plane to catch, so I beg you not to make things more difficult for me."I thought we would at least talk about it before.""That would have complicated the process more and you know it.""Do your parents know?""No, and I'd rather they didn't know." This is better for everyone.-Also for you?Nora had wanted to avoid just that. She didn't want to argue with him over his decision to get back in touch with his sister. It was his thing, no one else could understand it. No one had been through the same thing as her."In spite of everything, she is still my sister.""Yes, but at what cost?" I have seen what it has done to you, all the damage it has caused you and it was not even there. Now you want to have her face to face. I do not get it.—I don't need you to do it, the only thing I ask is that you support me, that you continue doing it as you have done now. Respect my decisions.Oliver gave him a wary look."Are you sure you want to do this?"Nora looked at him without even blinking."I think it's about time.""Nora, you don't have to." You don't have to prove anything.-You're wrong. He crossed his arms. I've tried to let it go but I know I won't be able to get on with my life if I don't do this sooner. I know you don't understand, but I'm not asking your permission. His face relaxed. I have to do it."What if it doesn't work?" The only thing you will do is hurt yourself. His eyes were concerned. They have their life, and you have yours.Nora came up to him and stroked his cheek. Sometimes she saw in him someone from the past, someone who was capable of betraying her, but that was reserved for her appointments with her psychologist.-You have to trust me. I know what I do.He gently grasped her wrist and turned her around so the cut scars were exposed."Do you want to go through this again?" He murmured, trying to hide his fear. Do you want to relive that nightmare again?-Of course not."And then why?" Because right now? He held Nora's face in his hands. Why can't you put the past behind you?She wrapped Oliver's hands in her own."Because to this day it is still an unfinished business, and I don't want to leave it in the middle, not if I can help it.""And what do you think you will fix with that?" Will reappearing make everything as if it never existed?"No, but at least it won't be on my conscience."Oliver shook his head."You don't owe him anything."-Precisely. I do this for myself. Besides, it won't be easy for her either. He was speechless when he heard from me again."And what did you expect?" Of course he was surprised. You were never supposed to be in contact again."And that's the way it will be, but I need to do this first."Despite everything, he was reluctant to believe it. Because of his body tension, he did not accept that madness."Are you really aware of what you can find?" He reached for her hand and laced his fingers through hers. What do you think you will feel when you see him again? What will you feelNora, trying to calm him down, kissed him on the temple and pulled him towards her, wrapping her arms around him."Don't be afraid," he whispered. The past is not coming back. I am clear about my present. You know that now you are.Oliver hugged her back, but she was fragile."Knowing that the memory of Dorian continues inside your head is not what worries me." I know perfectly the place that I occupy and I also know that you can never love me in the same way that you loved him. She hid her face in that golden hair she loved so much. The only thing that scares me is that you will break again, because then everything you've achieved will fall apart, and you don't deserve that."Trust me, people can't break more than once," she said serenely, nuzzling his nose with hers, like an Eskimo kiss. I already did, and I guarantee you I won't do it again."You can't know."-If I can. Trust me.Oliver let out a piteous sigh."Are you really ready?" Will you be when the time comes and you have them in front of you?"I'll only know one way, and it won't be by staying here."He kissed her forehead."Promise me you'll be okay." Promise me that you will bear it. He drew her to him. Promise me that you will return safely.Nora, pleased by those words, smiled sincerely. He kissed him in a gesture of gratitude.-I swear. She kissed him again. When this is all over, you won't have to hear about it again. It will be forgotten and buried, I guarantee it."Nora…" He looked at her devoutly. I just want you to be happy."I'm starting to be with you, Oliver.""I love you."At that statement, Nora winced. I felt very sorry for him, but that was different. He had never told her; Oliver had openly confessed to her thousands of times that he loved her but she had not been prepared to reciprocate in the same way, not with the same intensity. However, he put his fears behind him.There was always a first time for everything. Even second chances could be rewarding."And I," he whispered. I love you too.Totally surprised, Oliver grinned from ear to ear and hugged her to his chest."Now I'm not going to let you go."Nora put a finger to his lips, smiling."I'll be back before you know it.""Promise me.""No need, you know I will."Nora gradually distanced herself but he still remained close enough. When she took the bag, Oliver frowned."It's still too early for you to go," he murmured. Where are you going?"I have to see someone before I go."Oliver seemed to understand what he meant."Don't you want me to accompany you?"He shook his head."No, it's better this way." I need to do it myself."Okay, I understand." But be careful, Nora. His eyes were shining. Please.She went to the door and, before disappearing, took one last look at him."I always have it." -And he left.He called for a taxi and hoped it wasn't too late. The woman who was waiting for her was always too punctual and she didn't like being kept waiting.She fiddled with blonde locks in her hair as she glanced at the clock every few minutes. Only when he reached his destination did he breathe more calmly.It was the same place as always, where they used to talk outside the office, a quiet park with a few tables arranged here and there. Just as he had imagined, the doctor was already there. Kendra had been her psychologist for the past three years. At first they were nothing more than a psychologist and a patient, but trust increased between them and they became good friends, knowing how to combine the field of therapy with a parallel relationship of confidences that were not prescribed for treatment. It was a shoulder to cry on, and Nora knew it. He owed him many things: his emotional stability, his mental health ... Everything.He held his breath as he approached."You're late, as always."Nora pursed her lips in an attempt to smile."I'm sorry, I'm late because of Oliver." He took the seat across from her. He didn't want to let me out.The sleek woman with dark asymmetrical hair, grayish green eyes, fine glasses, long earrings, and a perfect figure frowned."Listen, if I'm here it's because you asked me, but I suggest you don't." He looked disapprovingly at the backpack Nora wore slung over her right shoulder. It's not too late, you can change your mind.Nora clenched her jaw, keeping in mind that this other encounter was not going to be easy either."I know, but that's not what I want." He ran a hand through his hair. I am decided.-Are you sure about that? We have come a long way. Any slight change would be a huge mistake. It is like going through a minefield; As soon as you find one, it's over. He adjusted his glasses. It would not be good for you if you went into crisis again."You know I'm recovered." I'm not the same as before. She nodded as if that would convince herself. I have nothing to do with the girl I was five years ago, I don't even look like the person I was a year ago. I have changed for the better, I have progressed.Kendra gulped. Not that he disagreed, but of course he had his doubts. I saw everything from a different perspective."I'm not doubting it, but tell me what that makes you." You don't have armor inside you. That may be the image you are trying to project, but we both know that you still have part of what happened inside of you. You assimilated it in such a way that it is impossible for you to get rid of it. You formed a connection, an incredibly strong symbiosis. We have tried to remove it, and it has not finished yet, we are still pending. His gaze stiffened. You can accept what happened, establish a true separation between past and future because what you experienced does not make you who you are, but revenge will not take you anywhere, it will not make you feel better, and it will not make you regain everything you lost. ."I'm not trying to get anything back," Nora murmured. I can't explain it to you."Well, you're going to have to, because you don't put me in exactly a comfortable position.""Please, we're out of your office." Forget about the formalities. Don't treat me like one of your patients."I try, but you don't make things easy for me, Nora." He shifted in his place. It's normal for me to worry about you."And I appreciate it, I mean it, but now I don't need a psychologist." I need a friend. His gaze sweetened. Please…Kendra sighed. He pondered it in silence for long minutes. Meanwhile, Nora was watching her. He needed her to be on his side, too, even if he had to break some professional rules to do so.He could no longer bear so much uncertainty.-And good? What is your verdict?"Nora, don't ask me that ..." "You know I trust you." I will do whatever you tell me.Kendra massaged her temples."I am literally divided." He toyed with his coffee, pondering thoroughly. As a psychologist, I would tell you that this is a very delicate situation that must be handled with great care. I would strictly advise against abandoning that idea. But as a friend… ”He looked at her with eyes full of concern and hope at the same time. I can't decide for you. I cannot make decisions for you, and if you are here it is because you have already made a decision, and you will do so with or without my consent. If it's just what you want to do, I'm not going to stop you.Nora smiled immediately after processing that."Does that mean there is no danger?"—It means that you must have control over yourself, over your feelings and behaviors at any moment, just as we have been practicing. As much as you tell me, I can't get inside your head. I know you well enough, but I can't catch up with you. I can't be yourself I am the one who gives a guideline for you to follow, but it is up to you to decide whether to continue it or look elsewhere. We have already talked about it many times. You have anchored yourself to the past and you are unable to detach yourself from it, causing it to blend with your present. You are supposed to focus on your future, but I see that you are still depending on old memories. I suppose it's your way of putting an end to it, but it doesn't seem the most appropriate to your current situation. He cocked his head. I can't forbid you absolutely anything. You are an adult and you know what you are doing, but my duty is to prevent you. It might all fall apart in a matter of seconds, Nora. You must take it into account. Your mind is saturated with antagonistic moods. You are like a merry-go-round. Right now you are completely unstable. You have a lot of character, you have regained control over your expressions and that gives you priority to develop in your environment, but what you intend to do is totally crazy. It is a completely alien domain. You don't know him, you have no idea what you're up against. You may have imagined it in a million ways, but you don't know what you can find. Above all, you are clear that it is something that you are not going to like, and yet you are asking me for advice to decide if it is a good idea or not. It's practically suicide. He clicked his tongue. I know you can do it, but I'm not sure of the long-term repercussions that may arise.Nora felt a whiplash on her spine."I know it's hard for you, but I have to." It has not been a matter of a day. I've thought about it a lot, every minute of every hour for the past few months. I have weighed the pros and cons, and I always come to the same conclusion. I have to go.Kendra pursed her lips."Have you thought about what you're going to say?"-Not yet.—Well, I suggest you have something in mind, because improvisation is not usually effective in this type of case.Nora nodded.-I'll keep it in mind."How long do you intend to be away?"-Enough. Maybe two or three days."Are you totally sure?" Once there you may feel the need to extend your stay, as if you were trying to make up for lost time, and then I will not be able to help you.Nora swallowed indecisively."I know what I'm doing, okay?" I promise you that I will be right back."You better not do that." He shook his head. Don't promise anything.-Do not trust me?"Not one hundred percent." There is a part of you that remains totally inaccessible. Keep it in mind.Nora resisted the urge to leave."Kendra, stop staring at me like that." I'm not going to break, I'm not made of glass, no fucking past will make me disappear. I have my own present and none of this will make me break. For five years I have tried to distance between what I was and what I am, between my weaknesses and my strengths and, you know what? I think I have got. I need to cut the connection, get rid of everything that still does not allow me to live as I wish. It will only be a one-way trip. Anything I can find will not come with me, it will stay there, and then I will know what to expect, but now I have to do it, I need to do it.Kendra raised an eyebrow, surprised by Nora's sudden determination.-It's okay. You are the only one who decides.Nora closed her eyes."Well, I think I'd better go." I don't want to waste any more time…”“ It's not about that. It doesn't seem like a waste of time to me. Do you think so?"No, Kendra." I appreciate that you always come to my aid.The woman smiled."Well, that's what friends are for."Nora got up and stared at her."You will hear from me."Kendra got up too."Yes, I'm sure of that."Nora came around the table and hugged her tightly. Then he turned around and started walking away.-Wait.Nora turned.-Than?Kendra approached with a doubtful gesture."What if he refuses?"Nora didn't hesitate."I know you won't.""You may be wrong.""Trust me, he owes me.""I don't dispute that, but it doesn't mean I'm willing to." You may have changed your mind. A lot of time has passed. It will not be the same as before. Now he has his own… family. Your priorities have changed. You will not be a stranger, but he will treat you as if you were. It won't be exactly easy.-I already know that. But nothing in my life has been since she left with him. I have endured the unspeakable. This will not kill me, it will just make me stronger.The psychologist gave him a squeeze on the shoulder.-Good luck.Patuloy na basahin ang aklat na ito nang libre

Tension could be cut with a knife. The rehearsals were turning out to be literally agonizing: looks of bewilderment and surprise were pointed directly at Angy, her clothes hanging over her slim frame. The same way they scrutinized Evan's eyes. It didn't seem the same; now he just nodded now and then and spoke only when asked. Everything was turned upside down. There was no communication between them, and Paolo, Fabio, Andrea, Valentina and Demetrio held their breath, fearful that the invisible bomb between them would explode at any moment. A hostile environment that they saw for the first time."I'm exhausted," Andrea complained. Couldn't we take a break?

Dorian listened attentively to the front entrance door open in the distance. The security cameras caught a glimpse of the long golden hair that shone thanks to the sun. Heart shaking with sheer joy, Dorian waited for Nora to appear imminently, wanting to see her again, but it didn't happen exactly the way it was intended. That woman flew by, without making a sound."Nora ..."She didn't answer. He passed by, without even turning his head. He crossed the room and disappeared, probably in the direction of the bedroom. Without thinking,

Dorian wanted everything to come out perfectly; He had secretly planned this dinner for weeks, and hoped the patience required had been worth it. He had taken her to one of the most exclusive restaurants in town, and luckily, he had managed to get them alone.Nora entered the restaurant cautiously, as if she couldn't quite believe she was there. Immediately after noticing her presence, an attentive waiter served her with elegance, asking her to accompany her to her table, located in the center of the enormous room, with elaborate meticulous details.

As expected, Evan still without a word. The following rehearsals after the fight between the two had become distant and cold; no one seemed to enjoy it."Guys, is Evan gone yet?" Angy asked, hoping it wasn't."I don't think so," Andrea answered. It's up.-At his office?

I couldn't believe it, but there it was. He had tried in every possible way but it had been useless to resist; Those green eyes were watching him closely, and Dorian felt his pulse race. Each heartbeat hit his chest with the force of a hurricane, and he silently asked her not to pull away from him again. He loved her, of that he was sure. Despite the distance, he had never stopped loving her; the imprint she had left on her soul had been so great that not a lifetime would have been enough to forget her. So there she was, silence hanging from her thin lips. He couldn't hide it anymore. He spent his days in Nora's company, but he knew that would never be enough; He could never give her in fifty years what Angela could give her in a matter of days. She had been the first and only woman he had lost his mind for, and now he wasn't sure he had regained it. She felt very close, perhaps too close. There was nothi

That day of good weather the island was full. Nora had decided to go visit her mother; It was her day off, and since Dorian was working she didn't want to be left alone in that gigantic house, so she showed up without warning. However, that turned out to be no problem for Julia, who had not stopped smiling since her young daughter was home, having coffee in the living room."It's weird not being around," Nora sobbed.-Tell me. Everything is too quiet.
