LOGINUpon arriving at the main mansion, Nicolas was immediately greeted by the home’s opulent and magnificent decorations.
Decorative lights, colorful balloons, and various replicas of his favorite animals were neatly arranged in the spacious yard of Javier’s mansion.
Nicolas could hardly believe the sight before him. He thought his father was only going to invite his school friends, but it turned out their house had been completely transformed into his dr
Javier came rushing in, his panic clearly visible on his face. Without wasting a moment, he immediately lifted me into his arms and carried me at lightning speed to the hospital.Actually, according to the doctor, my baby’s estimated due date was still a week away. However, the doctor had explained that labor could come earlier or later than the estimated date. Moreover, I was determined to have a natural birth, just as I did when I gave birth to Nicolas. So, I was patiently waiting for our little one to be ready to see the world.Back when I gave birth to Nicolas, I had to go through it alone without my husband by my side—but not today.Today, everyone was by my side. Javier held my hand tightly, supporting me with every breath I took, while our extended family waited outside with anxious hearts and unceasing prayers.I smiled happily amidst the pain that was overwhelming me. There was no longer any sense of loneliness or deep sadness like in the years past.The delivery went very smo
Camila’s POVThe days passed by so quickly. The happiness we had once felt slowly faded because Nicolas had recently preferred to keep to himself.Yes, my son still couldn’t accept Dada’s sudden passing. They had only just met and become friends, but God had already separated them forever.But what else could we do? When it comes to the fate of life and death, none of us ordinary humans can resist it.Three months have passed since that incident, and Nicolas has never been as cheerful as he used to be. Javier and I have tried to cheer him up in every way possible. Yet, at best, he can only manage a faint, forced smile—as if half of his soul were lost and carried away.“Did Nicolas really love Dada?” I asked gently as I sat with him on a chair in the backyard, watching a little rabbit he’d once brought home from the lake.Nicolas didn’t answer. He just nodded slowly without taking his eyes off the rabbit. I gently stroked the back of his head, offering a mother’s warmth.“God loves Dada
“What?! Fell into a ravine?!” exclaimed Nicolas, his face a mask of disbelief, his eyes wide with shock.“Nico, hey... listen to Mom. This hasn’t been confirmed yet; let’s make sure it’s true first, okay, son?” Camila said soothingly as she put her arm around her son’s shoulders to reassure him.Nicolas remained frozen. He looked at his father, then at Alex, as if demanding a further explanation of what was actually happening.Javier knelt down for a moment, wrapping his arms around Nicolas and gently patting his shoulder. “Dad doesn’t know for sure how they’re doing because I haven’t seen them myself. But, Dad hopes you—”“Dad, I don’t want anything to happen to Dada! I love Dada, Dad… she’s kind, she’s beautiful!” Nicolas cut in hysterically, tears beginning to fall and wet his cheeks.The birthday party, which was supposed to be a day full of happiness, instantly turned into a day of dread. Nicolas no longer cared about his friends
Upon arriving at the main mansion, Nicolas was immediately greeted by the home’s opulent and magnificent decorations.Decorative lights, colorful balloons, and various replicas of his favorite animals were neatly arranged in the spacious yard of Javier’s mansion.Nicolas could hardly believe the sight before him. He thought his father was only going to invite his school friends, but it turned out their house had been completely transformed into his dream playground.“Do you like this?” Javier asked gently, rubbing his son’s head.Nicolas nodded quickly. He immediately kissed his mom and dad on the cheek, one after the other, with great enthusiasm.“I’m so happy, Dad! I… I can’t wait to cut the cake and play with my friends!” he exclaimed joyfully. But the next moment, he looked back at his father with a curious expression. “So, what time is Dada coming here, Dad?”“Dada will arrive just as the party starts. I’ve a
Author’s POVSince Nicolas couldn’t stop thinking about the little girl named Dada and was eager to see her again, Javier immediately asked Alex to call the lake manager that very day.Shortly afterward, a middle-aged man in simple work clothes arrived. Beside him, a beautiful little girl followed shyly.Nicolas was right—the girl was indeed very sweet. Her hair wasn’t a bright pink like in cartoons, but rather a light brown. However, colorful ribbons adorned her hair, creating a beautiful gradient that, to Nicolas, looked like a unicorn’s mane.“Mr. Villarreal, what brings you here?” the middle-aged man asked politely.Javier smiled faintly at the formal greeting. “Have a seat here first, Budi!” Javier replied, pointing to the lounge chair in front of him.Budi, the caretaker of the place, shook his head slowly with an awkward expression. “I’m sorry, sir.
I haven’t seen Nicolas again. He left with Alex a little while ago. Even Javier asked Stefi to go with them—apparently they were planning to go horseback riding.Javier wouldn’t let me go. He said he was afraid something might happen to me, since the road leading to the racecourse is quite slippery and rocky—not at all suitable for my condition as a pregnant woman.I sat comfortably on a chair in front of the tent, waiting for Javier, who was inside getting something.Not long after, he returned and put a thick jacket on me.“So you don’t get cold,” he said with a broad smile.I nodded warmly, then pulled the jacket closer around me. My eyes then fell on several makeshift pens that Alex had set up in a corner of the campground.And you know what? It turns out that besides bringing a monitor lizard, Nicolas also found a rabbit earlier!Javier approached the cage and gave the cute
