EPILOGUE III:

Erasto was sitting on the pool chair and smoking looking into his phone when he heard a sudden loud 'splash' nearby. Turning his head, he looked at the pool and his eyebrows shot up seeing Ricardo completely immersed in the water. What took him by surprise was if this man wanted to swim, why was he fully dressed?

"Cos'hai che non va?" (What's wrong with you?) He asked setting his phone aside while his super angry brother took another dip in the water not before saying, "Fottuti ormoni della gravidanza!" (F****** pregnancy hormones!)

Oh you poor baby Ricky!

Of course the elder brother who had an experience in dealing with a pregnant wife chuckled at the younger one and asked, "Cos'è successo esattamente?" (What exactly happened?)

While the elder brother continued smoking, the younger brother narrated what had actually happened that he had to literally jump in the pool to calm his anger.

Well, this is what happened...

"I don't like that. Please don't put it." She said eyeing the apple cubes in his hand while he shot her a super quizzical look asking, "But I thought you like apples?"

"I did! But I don't like them now." She replied back nonchalantly and got back to painting her nails while he clenched his jaw in irritation and controlled his urge to snap at her for changing her mind in just matter of 2 hours. But knowing what would be the result of it he chose to remain quiet and placed back the apple cubes in the jar.

As he started mixing the fruits in the vanilla custard she let out an overdramatic ugly cry scaring the poor man. Leaving everything he rushed to her side and cupped her face asking, "Hey hey! What's wrong? What happened? Why are you crying?"

"Look at it!"

"Look at what?"

"Are you blind Ricardo? Can't you see what happened?" She asked pointing at her nails while he obediently looked at them and looked back at her utter confusion.

Knowing he couldn't relate to what she was exactly pointing at, she crossed her arms across her chest and huffed saying, "I knew it! I knew it! You don't observe me anymore. Earlier you could see so many things but now, you hardly pay attention to me."

Of course his eyes popped out of their sockets hearing her say those words, "What non-sense! Where is that coming from?"

Passing him an icy glare from head to toe she snapped back at him in a snarky tone, "Your actions are making me speak like that."

Of course being a hot headed man, anger surged right through him hearing her talk all non-sense but knowing that it was her hormones taking a super huge toll on her, he closed his eyes for a few seconds and stated counting from 20 to 1 just the way she taught him to calm himself.

As she still had that scowl playing on her face, he took a deep sigh and requested her, "Please piccante! I really don't know what you are talking about. Tell me what it is and I will see if I can help you. Please!"

There was no doubt that she was giving him a tough time with her changing hormones. But when he pled her so cutely, how could she not melt hearing his wonderful words?

"Well, even though I didn't like your 'lack of observation' but I really loved the way you said please. So I will tell you what's wrong." She said passing a super sweet smile at him and he was more thankful for her 'generosity'.
