One Road, Six Ways

One Road, Six Ways - Part 41(Last part/completed)

Karel was really very serious about what he was telling to Luisa but Luisa don't believed him. She looked at Karel and burst to laughter.

"Luisa, I am very serious." Karel could not understand why Luisa won't believed him.

"Yeah, yeah! I know what you are doing. You tried to stop me in coming back to Herman! You cannot say it to me directly so you made up with these nonsense fairy tale stories of yours! It's very funny, you are very funny! Ha-ha-ha!" Luisa found it really funny about what she thought a kind of maneuver Karel was doing.

Karel said no words. He did not laughed either. 

"Wait!" Luisa rushed again back to the Coffee Shop. She hold the hand of Herman and almost dragged him outside and they walked toward where Karel stood.

Karel saw the holding hands of Luisa and Herman. He felt sad but he prepared himself to this awkward and for him could be very painful confrontation.

"Herman, you met him already, Karel, my husband!"

The two men both could not believed what they heard. They both looked at Luisa.

"Our babies, Lindsey and Norma." Luisa also introduced to Herman her babies. Herman looked at the twins, they were two pretty and adorable babies.

Karel could not guessed what Luisa was doing. He had mixed emotions. He could not know yet if he will be happy or will be disappointed. Luisa was not predictable, she always switched mood from one to another, a very unpredictable woman.

Herman on the other hand, felt pain in his heart. Looking at the two babies, he thought if he was honest to Luisa, he could be the father of Luisa's daughters, not knowing that he was really the father and not Karel.

"Herman, I am very sorry." Luisa said to Herman.

"You mean..."

"As I said, I am married. I promised I will love and honour my husband till death do us part."

"I thought you love me?" Herman said in a broken voice.

"That's what I thought too, but I love more my husband, the father of my babies!" as she said it, Luisa gave Karel a sweet smile. Karel heart danced in joy, Luisa chose him. Karel was very happy, he also smiled back to Luisa, a smile so sweet and full of love.

Herman understand his presence was not desirable anymore. He must accept his defeat. He gave his hand to Karel and said, "Good luck and take good care of her."

Herman also take the hand of Luisa, pressed it and vowed to kiss her on the cheek, as he did it the same time he whisper to her, "I will never stop loving you!"

Luisa forced a smile. Her heart was shouting 'what are you doing? It was Herman you love and not Karel?' but her mind answered 'You made the right decision! As a person, Karel was far better than Herman. Karel have many vices but he had changed and bettered himself. The love of Karel was more honest than that of Herman. Karel love your daughters.'

"Luisa." Karel broken the silence. "You made me very happy!"

Luisa smiled. She put her arm in Karel's arm and said, "Let's go home."

"I am really very, very happy!" as they were walking Karel said to Luisa.

"Your fairy tale worked, you silly man! Why did not just tell you love me and you don't like to lost me."

Karel stopped. "You really did not believe me?"

"Not a single word of your crazy story." Luisa answered.
