THE FORGOTTEN LOVE On The Train
FINAL SEASON: Loving a Simple Man
Valentino's day got so bad after reading a message from Torres, he was forced to take a leave of absence and always with Leyka and Train, he decided to work at home. Valentino became irritable, sensitive, his temperament returned to relapse. His worries never subsided, he thought a lot, he became restless and sometimes daydreaming. He was looking for a way to tell what he was going through and everything that had happened.
He kept pacing back and forth in his study anxiously. His stern face was getting creepy, he kept frowning his forehead a sign he was thinking very hard. As much as he exorcised his anxiety, Valentino was unable to contain it. Even a glass of vodka in his hand was unable to help overcome his anxiety and fear. More precisely afraid of losing a small family who just colored the days so beautifully.
"Train don't forget your schedule sweeping the pages of Abuella Lucita today. You get your turn, do it before you go to Daycare because you have to go to drama class at Esperanza School until the afternoon. You'll be exhausted later. After working on your turn, you will be free of duty" said Leyka sayup heard from the living room. Valentino listened carefully to Leyka and Train.
"The Mommy! May I drink my milk after I sweep the pages of Abuella (grandmother) Lucita? Let me get back strong!" train exclaimed cheerfully and Valentino was getting full of question marks, until his forehead became wrinkled.
"Si, you can drink it later. Put your milk in the freezer" Leyka and Train rushed to bring a glass of milk to the refrigerator at the King's Apartment.
"Drawing pages? Abuella Lucita's Page? What does this mean?" muttered Valentino while putting a vodka glass in his hand and rushed out of his study and approached Leyka who was still tidying up the living room where many dvd tapes were scattered, former Valentino and Train watched last night.
"Missing Abuella Lucita's page?" valentino asked as he appeared in the living room and was glued there watching Leyka who was pacing back and forth.
"Si, Train will sweep the pages of Tia Lucita" Leyka replied with a smile and a touch and kissed Valentino's arm as he passed by. The warm body language, which makes Valentino feel possessed is also loved by the woman who for eight years has graced his mind and life.
"Drawing pages? My son swept the yard belonging to someone else?" Valentino repeated his question by raising the volume of his voice, still filled with disbelief about what his son was doing. Leyka did not see Valentino's furrowed brows and was about to look at him.
"Si, because the leaves and petals of my rose always filled the Tia Lucita courtyard on the lowest floor" Leyka said still smiling as she closed the door of the display cupboard made of glass, where he kept the dvd tape back there.
"And Train sweeps? Are you crazy, Leyka?" valentino asked again and his tone looked very cold. There was a tone of protest in it that Leyka had yet to understand.
"Hahaha-- Si, Train sweeps because this is his turn. We all took turns sweeping the courtyard of Tia Lucita, Mother Maria Fernandez. Fernandez's family helped me a lot, thankfully there were them. Otherwise I'd have the hassles of sweeping through Tia Lucita's yard every day" Leyka said, turning to roll up the vacuum cleaner cable she had used before.
"Rubbing Leyka's pages? This is impossible! What kind of life is this?" valentino said he began walking towards Leyka by stretching out his hands, protesting gestures and asking for an explanation.
"You know, in this apartment it is forbidden to plant flowers to exceed the balcony limit. Every corner is green space and its ethic is governed by the State. Isn't Italy like that?" leyka pretext while storing the vacuum cleaner into the closet with a large enough drawer.
"Even the flowers you're going to plant must get permission in a district. Not like in Spain, any flower can be planted. There is not careless" said Valentino began to compare, Leyka was still smiling and then he walked towards the sofa and sat down while rubbing his stomach. He released his fatigue by leaning all over his body.
"Hmm, tighter there it turns out. As I was carrying the flower from my escape, I did not get any warning, but after Ludwig Roses rose blossomed and filled the balcony, I began to get warning letters because the leaves littered the Tia Lucita courtyard. The District Manager imposes a fine every month. Do you know the fines of every district in Spain are worth a quarter of my salary? Then me and Fernandez's family negotiated with the board and I finally had to clean the yard every day" Leyka said at length.
"Then you did it? So this is the kind of life you want, Ley?" for the umpteenth time Valentino asked the same thing and Leyka began to furrow her eyebrows.
"I was pregnant at the time, Val. And finally the Fernandez family helped and we're forming a schedule to date. We alternated doing it. Please help still happen here. The residents here are very warm and care for each other. And you know very well the life I want. Why are you asking her so many times?" leyka began to say firmly.
Valentino was still standing now he was shaking his waist, he did not mind Leyka giving the code to sit next to him by patting the sofa beside him and Leyka felt strange about it. Usually Valentino will go to him but this time not.
"I just can't accept my son doing things that I consider unusual for Leyka!" valentino said with a grunt.
"Is Lucita still healthy?" Valentino and Leyka turned simultaneously to Rosemary who came with Guaddalupe and stopped the debate that was just about to start. Rosemary and Guaddalupe came from the kitchen, they all had just enjoyed breakfast together at the King's Apartment.
"Si Madre (yes mother), sometimes he was taken to sunbathing to the park. Since Matthew Ford became Mary's lover, Tia Lucita has often been taken to physiotherapy. Diabetes undermines his life spirit. Tia Lucita loved Train so much that she was very happy when Train came to visit" Leyka replied as she held her seat.
"I didn't know anyone as rich as Matthew wanted to be Mary's lover who was just an ordinary woman" Adda's comments nudged and Leyka was stunned to serve him.
"The Fernandez family has the ability to ensnare men because we have such incredible love, Adda" Leyka said with a smile at the still-freezing Valentino.
Valentino's eyes rounded when he heard Train's footprints running from the kitchen by holding a broom used to sweep the yard. The broom resembles a broomstick but is made of hard mica.
"Daddy! I'm going to Abuella Lucita's apartment for a second, and Daddy's taking me to Daycare. Adios (until later)!" train exclaimed when he saw Valentino from the corridor of the middle room that intersected with the exit.
"Blue! Wait!" valentino exclaimed with an annoyed grunt and rushed over to Train.
"Put down that broom!" he then shouted after arriving in front of Train.
"Daddy?" hiss Train looked confused by rubbing his nose.
"Val?" Leykapun rose to his feet as soon as he saw the attitude of Valentino who suddenly turned rude.
"Put down that broom Blue! Daddy said put the broom down, 'cause you don't deserve to do a job you shouldn't!" exciting Valentino.
I didn't even let Miu touch any kind of homework.. How can I let my son do it.. Especially at people's homes.. Shittt said Valentino in his heart.
"Val?" Leyka arrived and touched Valentino's arm but Valentino pulled him over.
"Daddy?" Train mumbled increasingly do not understand. The wily boy began to judge him, as Valentino brushed off his Mommy hand, Train furrowed his brows.
"Put Blue!" valentino spontaneously grabbed the broom and threw it on the floor. All were surprised to see Valentino's attitude suddenly changed, even Train was shaken to the point of hearing Valentino's voice so loud. Seeing that Leyka stood before Train whose face paled for a moment.
"The val! What are you doing! What's wrong with you! You're scaring Train!" He pushed Valentino's body away. Rosemary and Adda no less panicked and also approached them.
"What's this?" rosemary asked as she approached them.
"What am I doing? I'm just asking you! What did you do to my son Leyka! Why would he have to sweep the courtyard belonging to someone else!" valentino exclaimed with annoyance.
"What's your problem! This is a natural thing! Why are you fighting over such a trivial thing!" leyka has been on fire since seeing Valentino act rudely on Train.
"He's Red Velvet, he's my son! He can't do it! What kind of education did you do to my son! This can't be! You're crazy Leyka!" valentino with a red face. His frustration, his worries were triggered already and overflowed out of place.
Valentino forgets that his anger could have a psychological impact on the pregnant Leyka. Train was happy to see Valentino's defence of himself when he called himself Red Velvet. But he also felt worried about the attitude of Valentino strange lately.
"He's Red Velvet! You can pay anything to the District Administrator with my money! Don't do this to my son! Don't humiliate my Son! You can't educate her by doing such a lowly thing!" valentino shouted loudly. Rosemary rounded her eyes by shaking her head.
"Reminently?! Who are you and how dare you criticize the way I educate my Son! How dare you yell at me! How dare you say it all! You think everything can be solved with money?!" leyka exclaimed by pointing towards Valentino.
"Valentino, are you okay?" ask Rosemary with her gentleness.
"I'm fine Madre! But your daughter doesn't seem okay! Something is wrong with the way he thinks!" valentino replied with a frown and stared intently at Leyka whose face began to sweat.
"If I had children, I wouldn't let my son do things in people's homes. There's something wrong with the way your wife thinks. You're right Val!" adda's provoking words, increasingly provoked Leyka's emotions. With the attitude of the bar, Leyka pulled Adda's arm and dragged him towards the exit and then threw him to hit the door.
"Aawwm! Leyka!" she screamed at Adda grimacing in pain while holding her arm. It feels like Leyka's breaking her bones.
"Shut up! And get out of my house and don't interfere!" exclaimed Leyka then rebuked Adda to leave. Train was still glued to see it all.
"Go Adda! You better start thinking about where you live from now on" Rosemary said firmly.
"Tia-tia
"Go, I ask you well" cut Rosemary as soon as possible but still be gentle with the Nobles who take care of her emotions. Guaddalupe left before Leyka broke her hand.
"Train-- Mi Carino, are you okay?" leyka asked back to Train while stroking the tiny face that was growing pias. Train nodded with his mouth silenced at Valentino's anger.
"He's not the Daddy we knew yesterday. I don't know who he is this morning" Leyka said, peeping Train's forehead to calm down.
"I who? Of course I'm Red Velvet from Italy! My son Red Velvet! He must not be educated in the way of the Spanish! He has to be educated in the Italian way! You can educate him only in the way of Nobles!" Leyka is back to her emotions. Turning around and facing Valentino who was still showing his anger, Leyka hid Train behind her body to protect her.
"I think you've changed, Val! You're just like the Valentino I knew eight years ago! You're not Red Velvet! You're just an undignified Italian man! You're selfish! Arrogant! And do you remember what separated us?- Valentino fell silent for a moment - and do you remember what unites us today? Because of your simple attitude, your attitude of accepting the life of bread without butter that I have offered since we were in Pretoria!" leyka.
Valentino fell silent and rubbed his face violently. His eyes were fixed on the plain face of Train hiding behind Leyka's waist. Train occasionally peeked at Valentino and observed with his foresight. The gray blue eyes clashed and Train ventured to return the sharp eyes of Daddy staring at him. Train was sad to see it.
Is there work weighing on you, Daddy.. Or is there something else. Train
Shitt! What I'm doing.. Shitt.. My son's scared.. Ohh Shitt's.. Valentinos.
"Leyka me-
"I don't like the arrogant man standing in front of me, because it's the same arrogant man who asked me to be with him eight years ago! Are you going to marry me then? You just want me to inhabit your golden cage. Do you remember that?" Valentino swore in his heart.
Shittt.. I don't want to lose what I've been fighting for..
"I love the simple man who was in my shop with a barista apron, who cleaned the table, who lifted the tray and put away the dirty glass. The man who washes dishes, makes coffee and serves the customers! I like that guy! Simple, not much silence because he is always friendly and always smiling. The man who was able to put his class and blend in with society, I liked that Man, not the Red Velvet Man who stood before me! The door was wide open and I knew where to wait for the simple man I love" Leyka tightened her jaw with her glassy eyes.
Leykapun passed to the exit while holding Train's hand. Of course the goal is the Queen's Apartment. Rosemary chose to follow her daughter who wiped the tears in silence. But just a few steps Train untied Leyka's hand and turned his body towards Valentino then looked into his gray blue eyes that were reddish tinge of Daddy. Leyka and Rosemary stopped their steps by turning to Train at the same time.
"Mi nieto (my grandson)?" Rosemary's approaching.
"Train?" Leykapun asked - asked in his mind why Train bravely untied his hand.
"Sometimes I help Mister Takeshi feed the fish when Mister Takeshi goes to the supermarket, I also help Abuella Dollores weigh the flour and even buy eggs with my other brother. Ramos parakeet bird I gave drink on Sunday because Ramos did not come home on Saturday, usually Ramos will sleep in the bar. Saturday bars are very crowded. I can't let that parakeet die of thirst. I've done a lot to help my neighbors, Daddy. Is that wrong? What if Mister Takeshi's fish dies? What if the parakeet dies? What if Abuella gets tired and falls ill? I'm still a noble! I'm still Red Velvet no matter what I do!"
"But-Valentino burst in front of Train who clenched his hands together. Between fear and daring to be one, that was what Train felt. Valentino stood on his knees, wanting to grab his son and unravel Train's fear of him. But unexpectedly Train actually retreated two steps until his body hit the foot of Leyka who stood almost reaching the doorway, Train continued his words.
"Even the Queen of England would often garden and feed her beloved dog with her own hands. King Felipe also sometimes clean his beloved dog kennel! Even President Putin peeled potatoes and cooked. They remain nobles! They are still important people! When Daddy was working in the store as a waiter, didn't Daddy still have Red Velvet? Daddy is still an important person" said Train gave a slap that is so smooth but very deep into his heart.
"Blue! Bluee! Lo siento's! Perdonami!" With his knee Valentino walked one step while grabbing Train's body and hugging his arm. That fear of loss and regret enveloped a piece of her broken heart. Valentino apologized with two languages immediately cool Train's heart.
"No Daddy! There's no need to hug me because Mommy needs it more. For an apology Daddy had to ask Mommy not me - even if he said no, Train lets Valentino hug and kiss her for a moment and she breaks free from his Daddy's snare and grabs the broom lying on the floor. Valentino silent a thousand languages.
"I have to sweep. Kasian Abuella Lucita's. Because the roses Daddy bought for Mommy littered his yard. Mommy is not unable to pay the fine, but at that time Mommy must save money because Mommy is looking for her own money. I once promised, when I have a lot of money, I will not let Mommy work from morning to night" Train said grasping the handle of the broom with both hands tightly.
"Blue" Valentinopun sat with his head down, he stretched his thumb and middle finger simultaneously in both corners of his eyes to stem the tears from raining down his face. His nose turned red and he wiped it and then he rubbed his face violently.
Valentino looked at Train fixedly with resigned eyes and lived full of regret. Train pity to see it. So did Leyka and Rosemary, a pinch of questions swirled in their minds, what happened to Valentino so that the figure of the Italian man was seen up and down his temperament.
"If Mommy forgives you. Daddy can help me sweep the Abuella Lucita yard, Adios--- Ah, one more. Father Gilberto said whatever we do with good intentions I will get better too. More.. More and more until it is unthinkable to us. I loved the entire Miel District and that was more than enough, Daddy. Mommy once said, there is no need to be Red Velvet to be looked up to" again - again Valentino felt slapped. Leyka's education made Valentino feel amazed at the simple thought of his Son. Train went by, passing through Rosemary Train smiling as her grandmother stroked her hair with glassy eyes.
"You are so great and brave" praised Rosemary with her admiration.
