When I saw the expectation and longing in Rogelio's eyes, I was so stupid to think that at least he could be happy with my choice at the moment, which was what Robbie wanted to see.
And with such a good Rogelio, maybe one day, I can get rid of the haze in my heart and become the happy one.
I said to Rogelio, "You can make the decision. It's up to you!"
"I believe you are a good wife and mother. I'm so lucky," said Rogelio with a smile.
I got in Rogelio's car to persuade myself to give up, but in the rearview mirror, I accidentally saw Robbie's car parking in a corner not far away.
Why hasn't Robbie left yet?
Rogelio's voice interrupted my mind, "Why are you absent-minded again?"
"Ah, I'm wondering what we need to bring with us tomorrow."
Rogelio smiled and said, "All you need to do is not to leave yourself behind."
That night, Rogelio and I just prepared a small suitcase with two sets of clothes for change.
There were no suits or expensive dresses, but only two sets of casual clothes.
At six o'clock in the morning, Rogelio came to wake me up.
Rogelio looked very excited, but I didn't sleep well that night.
Because there was always a knot in my heart. Whether I love him or not, I couldn't find an answer to such a question.
Rogelio and I went out early. There were only two of us in the car. He sometimes laughed and occasionally hummed a good song.
"Do you think I'm childish?"
I shook my head. "You look really happy."
One of Rogelio's favorite things was to hold my hand when he talk to me.
"In the past, I always felt that it was a very boring thing and that it was a waste of time to get out and have a trip. I would rather spend my time on work than waste one more second on the road."
Rogelio said with a self-deprecating smile, "I used to hand over the donation to my secretary, because I think money is the biggest gift I can do. The scenery along the highway was all the same. There was nothing beautiful, but now I felt that my previous thoughts were wrong. It turned out that having someone you like sitting next to you is such a happy thing."
"Rogelio, I'm not as good as you think. I think I may let you down, and I'm afraid to see you disappointed."
Rogelio looked at me with a smile. "No, you won't disappoint me. You are very good to me now."
Rogelio pursed his lips and sighed with emotion. "Only when you are in a coma can you understand how painful and painful it is to stick to something. At that time, you had waited for me for so many days and nights. I will pay you back with my whole life and be good to you."
I murmured, "a lifetime?"
Rogelio said firmly, "yes, a lifetime."
I looked out of the window. At this time of the season, green leaves were rarely seen. A little desolation in my heart was just like this scene.
I just hoped time can really be the best healing medicine.
Along the way, Rogelio occasionally parked his car on the side of the road and stood quietly with me, enjoying the same scenery.
Rogelio said it was a kind of happiness and the beginning of our beautiful memories. He hoped that when the two of us were old, there would be many quiet but sweet memories.
