SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

Rafael:

I feel so happy, I don’t know why I have this feeling of bringing for the first time to my hacienda, the woman I sincerely like. I feel blessed that she has accepted this invitation.

“Even when I brought Maria de los Angeles, well! The truth was that my mother brought her, introduced her to me and I fell in love.”

As I got out of the van, Aunt Anastasia was there waiting for me with the staff she hired exclusively to attend to my guests. On the upper terrace, I could see my mother and Mirelys, watching us arrive. I introduced my aunt, Sofia, her mother, as well as the triplets.

-Welcome! It is a pleasure to receive you in our house, we are all at your service,” she exclaimed with extreme joy, especially when she had the children in front of her.

-Thank you, Mrs. Anastasia! -said Sofia gratefully.

-Thank you and it is a real pleasure for us to be here! -declared Estefania.

When Aunt looked down and saw the triplets, she squatted down in admiration and amazement. She did not dissimulate, she crossed her gaze with mine. This one had eyes only for them, totally dumbfounded. The resemblance was extraordinary to me.

Without saying anything, I could perfectly interpret her gaze, I was totally fascinated, thinking for sure that they were mine. She tried to hide her astonishment, but she couldn’t, we all realized the impact the triplets made on her.

“Aunt Anastasia, she has a heart of gold, in love, I’m sure, she already fell in love with all three of them”, I thought smiling.NôvelDrama.Org content.

When she noticed that the three of them were looking constantly, towards the stables, she asked them, with clear intention to please them, without consulting:

-Do you want to see the horses up close?

-Yessssss! -They answered in unison, joyfully, looking towards their mother, waiting for her approval.

-Let’s go! I want to see them too,” answered Sofia with a wide smile that made her look much more beautiful and youthful than she already was. I was truly in awe of her natural beauty.

I let Aunt lead the group to where the horses were. In the meantime, I asked the staff to take their luggage upstairs, without putting it in any room, because we didn’t know which was each one’s luggage.

Then, I joined the group and listened to these three beautiful angels, laughing, screaming and enjoying having these animals so close. Tia could not hide her admiration. Of course, she won’t ask me anything in front of them, but I know she will do it alone.

-Mommy, can we ride? -asked Rafael Angel, the eldest, it’s really easy to tell them apart, even though the three of them are identical.

-No, I don’t think so! I’ve read that after they turn four years old they can do it, obviously accompanied by an instructor,” she clarified to her son.

-It’s preferable, Sofia! I’m not an expert on the subject, but I recommend you wait until they are at least four years old before they start training,” advised my aunt.

-It’s a long way off, Mommy! -He looks so funny! God, what a delight to have these children here, but more so her!

-There’s no other way, Rafael Enrique, they must learn to wait, to be patient, everything has its time,” assured Sofia, with authority but with much love.

-Six months to go, Rafael Enrique! -Rafael Argenis affirmed, rolling his eyes, a gesture that I found very funny, similar to the one my mother makes when something bothers her.

“I think I’m paranoid, I’m seeing things where there aren’t any.”

-But the pediatrician says we are too old for our age! -Rafael Angel said, interrupting my thoughts, with which I opened my eyes and showed a wide smile, which was observed with Sofia, who looked away from mine.

-That’s true, Mom! -complained Rafael Enrique, looking at my spirited horse Tornado, “He always says that we are more developed than other children of our age.

“Besides, he always tells you that we look older than five years old, remember! -the youngest of the triplets replied again, pulling his mother by the hand.

-What do you think, Rafael? They have never ridden a horse, or anything like it,” asked Sofia, looking for my support, “And I see these beautiful animals, but they are too big for them.

-Come on, let’s go! -I told her, “So my namesakes can choose their foals, and even they must wait for the right age, like you, to ride them and avoid problems in their organs,” I clarified, supporting Sofia, before her children’s demands.

-So we can’t ride them because they are too young? -Rafael Argenis asked me, approaching me and taking my hand, which the other two also tried to do.

-That means they are small like us! -said the older one.

-That’s right! They are foals, beautiful, small, that I have saved for you to choose the one you like the most, it will be my gift for giving me the joy of receiving them in my house,” I added. The three of them smiled, shouted and each one thanked me with a big hug.

“So you know, you must take care of them, keep an eye on them. Because just like you, they must wait until they are more than two and a half years old to be mounted,” I explained.

“That coincidentally with you, they are six months away, to reach that age.

-Yippee! -the three of them shouted euphorically.

When we got to the other side of the stables, I signaled to my caporal and the boys in charge of the horses to come in with me and the kids, so that they could see them and choose the three they liked the most.

Definitely, it was crazy to take them there, because they have the same passion for horses as I do, none of them were afraid of them, and the foals, as if they knew them, let themselves be touched and kissed by them. This was love at first sight, the animals began to neigh.

It took me a world to get them out of there, Sofia and her mother were in pleasant conversation with my aunt, when suddenly I heard a voice behind me, fussy and seductive.

-Rafa, mi amorrr!…
