- So no visitors were allowed in the rooms?
Mayrim asks Luz María when they found themselves alone in the elevator.
—I said visits outside the company, miss; But don't worry, you'll have it all to yourself for two weeks on the boat, my dear. –Luz María says cynical and smiling.
-Thank you, miss, I did not expect less from you, only that with me it will not be a second table dish. —Mayrim says, trying to play along.
-There yes, But here the second table dish is going to be you.
Mayrim was going to reply, but the elevator doors opened and smiling, as if they were talking about things of great friends, they went out to go to the restaurant.
In La Cruz, Melissa and Julissa had spent the night talking about their father after their useless visit to the lawyer's office, which at the time they went was closed, and they agreed to go the next day, leaving the school where they studied speciality, since it was their first day of school and they could not miss, but at 4 o'clock in the afternoon they were already entering the office of lawyer Armando López, who when he saw them immediately went out to receive them smiling.
—You must be Miss Melissa and Julissa Martin.
And after 3 hours of questions, claims and explanations, the lawyer gave them their father's phone, and the Martin De la Cuesta sisters came out willing to send the devil to all the De La Cuesta family, Because the version they knew of their father was very different from the one that the lawyer had exposed and demonstrated to them, exposing them as the ones who had been in charge of lengthening the trial process.
In Isla de Tris, Martín decided to go for a run, since Luz María had given him the day off, and as he did not want to expose himself to rumors and comments about the party the previous night, he did not even want to go to the hotel restaurant, leaving through a fire door, to avoid the lobby, and after walking a few meters, he began to accelerate the pace until he started running heading towards the northern part of the island, ran a couple of kilometers and in a convenience store while having a coffee and eating some donuts, he opened his WhatsApp again, finding Lolis' empty window, and only a couple of messages from Natalia, where she said good morning and a few tender words, and in an act of rebellion, as starting a campaign to start having his own new life and stop being a second table dish, he dialed the number of Lolis being sent to mailbox, and that of Natalia who gave him the tone of 5 times and also sent it to mailbox, which indicated that the call had been intentionally diverted, He dialed again 3 times until she answered.
-Hello, my love; How are you? —Natalia replies in a calm voice.
-How are you? You're already starting to worry me, because you didn't even answer me.
"I'm fine; Martin, but I told you that my husband had become ill and that's why we couldn't see each other.
"Yes, heart, but then: Does that mean that when your husband is very bad, or is very well I can't even call you?" Look, I'm nobody's second dinner table!
"Don't tell me that my love, you know you're my everything, my king, but remember that's how you met me, and you have to give me the time to arrange matters like this, you already knew I was married when you took me in your arms and made me yours for the first time on Isla Guadalupe, so it's not fair that you put yourself like that.
Natalia had already gone out to the garden of the hospital to be able to speak like this saying everything she was saying, after all, it was not proper for someone to listen to her, having her sick husband in a hospital room.
- You took me to Isla Guadalupe to make that happen!
-You are wrong my love, I took you because you told me you were hungry and you were already tired of eating cakes and hamburgers on the streets, and I wanted to cook for you, even remember that I tried to prevent you from taking off my dress, because I was not an unfaithful woman.
Martin kept silent because he knew all that was true and failed in his attempt to get a day of litigation with Natalia, to give time to tiger scratches and bruises to heal.
-You are right, heart, Excuse me for the bad mood, but last night I drank and woke up very badly, I am very bad at wine, I will be at the hotel for anything, and if not then you call me to approach me because I need to see you.
-I also love, as soon as my husband improves I pass by you to go to Isla Guadalupe, even a few hours, remember that I love you and for me you will never be a second table dish.
Martín hung up and Natalia's last words penetrated his soul, perhaps because he still felt bad about the tequilas who had drunk and resumed his career, but this time with another direction, towards the park of the Virgin of Tris.
Luz María waited for him uselessly in the restaurant, and when she saw that he did not appear, she dialed her cell phone that Martín activated with hands-free to answer while running.
