Chapter 42 - The invitation to the welcome gathering.

Mrs. Andrea Rivas Paoli Jaber, who was the mother of the 2 and from whom Lolis had inherited her beautiful green eyes, came down in shock to let them know that something was wrong with Mrs. Pedro Cantarell, Natalia's husband in his room.

He was a man of almost 70 years who was under medical treatment in his own home for kidney failure, attended by his wife and mother-in-law, who were the ones who did hemodialysis and provided him with medications, and after a few minutes of reviewing it; Natalia chose to call her family doctor and when he arrived, she could not go to court to continue with her work, but she spoke to her secretary, to cancel all her appointments and pending matters; Lolis took her nephews home to avoid the shock of seeing his father when they took him in the ambulance if the case happened, Wendy was not there, but Natalia notified her of the situation by phone, and was present a few minutes later.

Martín entered the restaurant of the Gaiatt hotel looking for a place to sit, but seeing a long table saturated with young people who chatted happily, he chose to sit alone at an adjacent table, some of the others realized the fact, but without taking it much into account, they continued with their talk, until they arrived at the restaurant Luz María and Ángela, Together with other members of the human resources departament, and greeting them all kindly they went to sit at the table with him, who kindly stood offered them to him.

-Guys, today is Tuesday and as the general training begins until Thursday, tonight we invite you to a welcome party in the bar of this same hotel, the bar and the buffet will be free and you can bring your friends, girlfriends and boyfriends, wives and husbands, cousins too, but without inviting them to your room, with the exception of wives and husbands, no boyfriends, No girlfriends, no friends, much less cousins.

Luz María says looking secretly at Martín who smiled without looking at her, trying not to be alluded to, while Ángela laughed amused because it was the first time that the cousins were mentioned in a welcome gathering.

"Well, I'll have to go buy some clothes. —Martin says, getting up from the table and saying goodbye kindly.

-We wait for you without fail, Mr. Writer León Martin Jáuregui. —Luz Maria says, smiles.

-I will attend the buffet and the gathering for a while, because I do not drink, and with so many young I think the party will be until late, and the truth is that I do not feel like waking up, I also have to go for my things to my cousin's house in Isla Guadalupe.

-If you like I'll take you. — Luz María tells him, reaching him at the door of the lobby. –If you wait for me for half an hour, I'll give you the raid.

-Thank you miss, but it is not necessary, on the avenue I take the bus, and my luggage is so small, that I carry it with one hand, just a suitcase with some changes of clothes and my personal items, in fact, I will have to buy a shirt and dress pants to be presentable.

-Well, well but do not miss, you greet your cousin and invite her, do not come to etiquette, because the event is not so formal.

Luz María tells him to stand on tiptoe to kiss his cheek, and Martín couldn't help the automatic movement of holding her by the waist appreciating its brevity.

Tonight we won't be able to see each other

To celebrate your hiring,

Because my husband got sick

And I'm in the hospital with him.

Anything I warn you

But I really don't think I can see each other tonight.

Forgive me, my heaven.

But I hope you don't stay.

Locked in the hotel and get out

Let's celebrate with your new coworkers.

He looked discouraged at the WhatsApp sent to him by Natalia, and shrugging his shoulders to downplay it, he got on the collective bus that would take him for his luggage to Isla Guadalupe.

I am so sorry for so much love and I hope everything goes well.

I will be in the gathering of the company

In the hotel bar and I will go to sleep early,

Most of my new classmates are very young

And I don't like to drink because I'm too bad at it.

Well, let it be light to you, and as soon as you can, call me or send me whats.

He sent his answer and waited practically until the bus arrived at Isla Guadalupe without getting it, and when he got off he asked the driver the time of the last run of the route, the driver replied that his was the last run, and that he would more or less return in half an hour passing by, Martín got off thanking him for the data, and almost running arrived at Natalia's house, in less than 10 minutes he was already standing on the threshold of the bedroom with all his things in his suitcase, observing the place where he had been so happy starting a new life with a beautiful woman, thinking about this he left the house without saying goodbye to so many memories, perhaps thinking that in a couple of days he would be back.

Standing where the bus had left him, he began to think about the situation lived with the two women he had met in just a few days on Isla of Tris, concluding that either of the two women were borrowed, because they belonged to another man, and the idea of having started a new life vanished from his head, annoyed he hit the railing of the boardwalk with a fist; Dolores had left him for her husband and began to accept that she had already forgotten him because of his sudden disappearance, and Natalia was also hooked on another life to which he did not belong, only his life with her beloved Soul could consider that it had been his life, and it was not a second table dish, but; How would hi put it to any of the 2? A question that passed fleetingly through his thoughts immediately discarding Lolis for her absence and sudden disappearance, finding no explanation for her forgetfulness, but Natalia was very present and decided to let things happen, because once again his fate was not in his hands.

He boarded the bus in silence, and getting off at the urban whereabouts of the Gaiatt shopping plaza, He prepared to forget about the matter while going to the men's clothing department, where he acquired a formal set, consisting of black dress pants and a blue striped long-sleeved shirt, thought they would look good with his new shoes, and preferred not to buy shoes, after all he had the sneakers that Natalia had given him and those he was wearing.
