For a week Irene was home a few times to see the children or pick up some clothes, always trying to avoid meeting Tamara. But that night she arrived and found Gaia and Marcos in the living room, talking with Tamara.
-Ah, I'm glad you arrived, sister-in-law. - Gaia said - I need to talk to you.
-Hi, Gaia. Hi, Marcos. Good night.
-Good night. - They both answered.
-How can I help you? - Irene asked, sitting on the same sofa as Tamara, but at the opposite end.
-Irene, Tam - Gaia said - Marcos and I are getting married.
-Ah how beautiful! - Irene said - Congratulations!
-Congratulations! - Said Tamara.
-Thanks! - Gaia answered - So, we wanted to invite you to be our godmothers.
Irene and Tamara did not react for a while, until Tamara decided to say:
-I appreciate the invitation. - Said Tamara. - But...
-I accept, of course. - Irene answered quickly.
-Oh how wonderful! My sister and my favorite sister-in-law will be my godmothers. I cannot believe!
-Gaia, I... - Tamara said.
-Yes of course! - Irene got up and went to hug Gaia - You deserve to be very happy, sister-in-law. I love you, see - Irene was emotioned - Never forget that.
-Irene? - Gaia asked - What is it? - She looked at Tamara - Wait...- She turned to Marcos - Love, you can go there and play with the children. I'm going to talk about women to women now.
-Everything fine, love.
As soon as he was gone, Gaia said:
-Which one will tell me what is happening here?
-I have nothing to tell. - Said Tamara.
-I don't have it. - Irene answered.
-They will both say, come on. - Gaia said.
-We... - Tamara began - We... We are separated.
-What? Why?
-Question for your dear sister-in-law. - Said Tamara.
-How was that? When? I want to know everything, tell me.
-It's just... - Irene began - It was a misunderstanding.
-Prepare to hear a lie, Gaia.
-It's not a lie. - Irene said.
-Look, I'm tired of you two being together. I will listen to both separately. - Gaia got up and took Tamara's hand - Come on, first you, you're very nervous.
They left the room and headed for the studio. Tamara recounted everything she knew and the two left the studio a bit shocked. Then Gaia came in with Irene and listened to her version. They left embracing, with Gaia supporting Irene, who was crying non-stop. Gaia made Tamara go to the kitchen to get some sugar water so Irene would calm down. After a while, Gaia sat looking at the two of them and said:
-You two are the dumbest people in the world. Only an idiot would believe this conversation of a man who buys a gift for his girlfriend and needs help.
-I think so. - Said Tamara.
-Shut up I'm not done yet. Only an idiot would believe that Irene did this on purpose, to betray you.
-Well someone understands me. - Irene said.
-Shut up! - Gaia said - And only two idiots were going to be fighting all this time over something that is just sitting and listening to each other. You are both correct and incorrect at the same time. Reflect a bit and sees that you only need to see what the other says, calmly. You two love each other and I just checked again.
