After Pa Rouco apanied Severo Laris on the trajectory of his life in New York City, Severo Laris secretly booked two tickets to Phdelphia.


    One morning, after dragging someone forcefully out of bed, it was time for a trip for two to Phdelphia.


    For seven years, Pa Rouco lived alone in Phdelphia for almost 365 days.


    Severo Laris took Pa Rouco home to Phdelphia for the first time.


    Severo Laris travels light and seems to know the route better than she does.


    This piqued Pa Rouco’s curiosity, “How do you know my Phdelphia home so well?”.


    Severo Laris smiled slightly and did not hide it, “Before we reconciled, to learn more about you all those years ago, I had flown to Phdelphia more than once to visit your neighbors and learn my way around.”


    Pa Rouco sighed softly, “But I don’t know the neighbors very well.”


    Severo Laris patted her little head, “I’m not very sociable either, but I thank the neighbor for saving you, if she hadn’t called an ambnce in time to take you to the hospital … I can’t imagine it now”.


    Pa Rouco looked up at him, and Severo Laris’ kiss, rested on her eyes.


    Very warm and soft.


    Severo Laris said, “When we got married, I emailed that neighbor of yours a wedding invitation, and even though she wasn’t there, I mailed our plus ones and wedding sweets.”


    Pa Rouco looked at the Phdelphia house and said, “Severo, what do you think would happen now if I had been lying in the bathtub and slit my wrists and really died? All those videos of me, would you have gotten them?”.


    Severo Laris took a deep breath, the mention of the subject still made him feel a little heavy and his heart recoiled.


    So reaching out, he hugged her tightly and said, “I’ll be sure to get those videos.”


    Pa Rouco turned her head to look at him and asked curiously, “And what would you do?”


    He looked into her clear, bright eyes and said solemnly, word for word, “I’ll watch all the videos carefully, one by one, maybe many times, and then I’lle to your funeral and walk around the corners you walked and stayed in Phdelphia, one by one.”


    “And then what?”


    “Then I’ll go keep youpany.”


    Pa Rouco turned around and threw her arms around his neck, “But they say that when you die you don’t feel anything or feel alone, only that form and consciousness dissolvepletely in this materialistic world.”


    Severo Laris hugged her tightly, closed his eyes and said, “Whatever the form, I don’t want to leave you alone, to be wind, to be cloud, even if I am not conscious and don’t feel alone, I want to be by your side.”


    “Severo, today you have been saying many loving things.”


    Severo Laris lowered his eyes and looked at her softly, “Do you like her?”


    “Like.”


    Pa Rouco leaned her little face in for a kiss.


    Severo Laris grabbed her, lifted her high and the two of them stood between the cabs, kissing for a long time.


    Afterwards, Severo Laris and Pa Rouco returned to Curtis College together.


    Pa Rouco spent her entire academic career in Phdelphia at this school.


    Pa Rouco said, “What I miss most is when it rains and all the other students have umbres from their boyfriends and I only have hitchhiker umbres.”


    Severo Laris, distressed and amused, said, “You want the hitchhiker’s umbre, then?”


    Pa Rouco red, “Would I be stupid not to? She’d get soaked.”


    Severo Laris patted his little friend’s head, “Well done, you don’t have to ignore the stalkers, but umbres are a must.”


    Pa Rouco puffed up and reached out to twist his arm muscles, “Not like you broke up with me and didn’te to pick me up.”


    “Well, I was dead wrong.”


    “For being so honest in admitting your mistake, I will kindly forgive you.”


    Severo Laris took her hand and, lowering his gaze, rested his thin lips on her ring finger, where she wore her wedding ring, and smiled slightly, “Thank you, ma’am, for your understanding.”


    As Severo Laris and Pa Rouco walked down from the school building, Pa Rouco nced outside and her little face became obvious.


    “It’s really raining.


    Surely you can’t sing about rain.


    God turn her face up and she says down.


    Severo Laris was not carrying an umbre and there were no umbres for sale at the school.


    Pa Rouco, embarrassed, wrinkled her small, white brow at him, “What do you say?”


    It’s not raining much.


    Severo Laris took off the coat he was wearing and propped up his arms, “Come here.”


    Pa Rouco slipped into his arms.


    The two men trotted through the rain with their Severo Laris coats on top of them.


    When we arrived at the school gate, it was raining hard and Severo Laris was carrying Pa Rouco straight on his back, his head on Severo Laris’ coat as if he were a small child, showing only a pretty white face.


    A certain someone leaned on Severo Laris’ back and sighed like a little olddy, “Hey, it looks like God wants to punish you for how much it rained on me in those seven years.”


    Severo Laris holds the man on his back tightly, amused.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Pa Rouco, with her little head on top of her coat, finally breaks away with a little coat so it won’t rain on Severo Laris.


    Severo Laris: “Didn’t I say I wanted God to punish me?”


    Pa Rouco puffed out her little mouth, “Isn’t it enough that I feel sorry for myself?”.


    Good, very good.


    …


    Near Christmas Eve, Severo Laris and Pa Rouco returned to La Ciudad Santa.


    Just a day after arriving in The Holy City, the two returned for dinner at The Rouco Family.


    Adam Rouco and Estre Berrocal had not seen their daughter for a long time and missed her.


    Roberto Rouco also missed him so much that he asked Severo Laris and Paulita to stay over with him after dinner.


    That night, instead of returning to Vi Moon Lake Road, Severo Laris and Pa Rouco stayed at The Rouco Family.


    Pa Rouco came out of the bathroom humming after a shower when Estre Berrocal knocked on the door.


    Pa Rouco, thinking it was Severo Laris, didn’t look, grabbed a dry towel in her hand and threw it back.


    Because normally at home, after showering and washing her hair, it is Severo Laris who polishes it.


    “Severo, I feel like my father doesn’t hate you so much anymore.”


    As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Estre Berrocal couldn’t help butugh and said, “Your father didn’t hate Severo Laris as a person in the first ce. ”


    Pa Rouco shuddered, embarrassed, “Estre, I thought it was Severo Laris. ”


    Estre Berrocal grabbed a towel, walked over to her, dried her hair and said softly, “You’re married to Severo Laris, how did your father allow you to marry him if he still hates him?”


    It was true.


    Estre Berrocal hesitated for a moment, but could not resist asking, “Paulita, you have been married to Severo Laris for almost a year, do you n to have children?”


    Estre Berrocal felt bad asking at first, after all it was a matter between the young couple Severo Laris and Pa Rouco.


    But then she felt that she, as Paulita’s mother, should ask. Paulita is not too young and if she wants to have children, it is high time she had them.


    Pa Rouco said, “Severo Laris and I have no intention of having children.”


    Estre Berrocal was stunned, “Really, no children?”.


    “Estre, I don’t want to have a baby.”
