Chapter Forty

            It was Friday and Robert’s uncle hadn’t tried to do anything, maybe now he could breathe and not have to worry about something bad happening. He still wasn’t talking to him, but he could deal with that. Today was also the day he was able to finally pick up the ring. When he went downstairs he was relieved to see his uncle wasn’t there.

            “Morning everyone.” Robert said as he sat down.

            “Morning mijo, so today is the day you pick up the ring, are you planning anything special for tonight?”

            “Yeah you better be doing something special for Preston.” Nora added.

            “Yes I have something plan for tonight, oh by the way don’t be expecting me home tonight.” Robert said.

            “Can I go with you to pick up the ring; I want to be the first one to see it.”

            “How about all of you just come with me, it will save me the trip on having to go there and then come back here, then to Vera’s and then to dad’s.” Robert said.

            “Ok let’s go, I want to see how it came out.” Nora said. Robert laughed and shook his head. They finished breakfast and took off to pick up Vera. By the time they got to the mall Nora and Vera were bouncing in their seats. They were more excited to see the ring than Robert. They walked into the store and Robert went to the counter to pick up the ring. They handed him the box and he opened it, pulled out the ring. It was exactly how he pictured it would be, he placed it back in the box and turned to everyone else.

            “Let me see it,” Both Nora and Vera said.

            “Ok here but be careful and tell me what you think.” Robert handed them the box. As soon as they opened the box they started to cry.

            “Oh my God it is so beautiful, there is no way he won’t love it.” Vera said.

            “Yeah no way.” Nora added. They passed it to Tanya, she thought it looked perfect.

            “Thank you guys for all the help picking it out.” Robert said.

            “No problem, that’s what friends and family are for.” Tanya said.

            “Well I was going to dad’s house I hope you guys don’t mind me stopping there before I take you all home?” Robert said, when he said this he was looking at his mom. It had been six years since she had seen his dad and he wasn’t sure how she felt about that.

            “No problem at all.” Tanya said. Robert nodded and they walked back to the car. The drive to his dad’s house was quiet. He felt like he should have called ahead to tell his dad he was going to be bringing people with him. He pulled up to the house and got out, he told everyone to come on. Robert went up to the door and knocked, he abuelita opened the door and welcomed everyone in, but stop when she saw Tanya.

            “Tanya it’s nice to see you again, how have you been?” Liliana asked.

            “It’s nice to see you too Liliana and I have been doing fine.” Tanya said.

            “Well come on everyone sit, can I get anyone a drink, something to eat?”

            “No abuelita that’s fine, we can’t really stay long. I just stopped by to show you and dad the ring. Speaking of dad, where is he?” Robert said.
