Returning home

Chapter 3 - Forgiveness

German's POV:

After meeting Angie again I felt nostalgic, but mostly... jealous. Okay, I admit! I'm jealous of this guy... Nicholas.

He was the one giving Angie the offer and now they're together. I should've done something to stop her from leaving but it didn't matter. She decided and she left us... left me.

I understand though because I hurted her badly.

----- 3 YEARS EARLIER -----

I met a woman, named Esmeralda and soon after I fell in love with her. I wanted to forget what I felt for Angie and Esmeralda was helping me a lot in it, even though me and Angie were arguing every time we met.

Soon after she decided to move out of the house and it was shocking to hear. Even poor Violetta was sad because of it and mad at me because I was the reason she left. I didn't want to admit, either did she but this was the truth and I knew it but still didn't do anything to stop her.

I was so stupid back then.

- Fine! Just go then! - I shouted at her. I didn't care... or atleast I didn't want to care.

But soon after she left I felt like something's missing.

Meanwhile Vilu was "dating" with some guy, named Diego. I didn't trust him and I wanted to look after my daughter so I decided to sneak into the Studio's teachers as Jeremias to check up on her daily.

My plan was almost perfect but when I saw Angie my heart was breaking into pieces.

She seemed so sad and depressed and I just couldn't believe that it was all because of me so I decided to be friends with her as Jeremias and try to help her move on.

I loved her, that was always true but this time I only wanted to be her friend and help her out of her depression which was working for a while.

- Thank you, Jeremias... You're too kind to me... - she said one afternoon when we were at the park and she was crying over German again.

- You're a wonderful woman, Angie... - I said to her while hugging her close to me - You deserve the best...

I tried my best to cheer her up every day and it worked.

But then a guy appeared in the Studio. This guy was Nicholas. The kids reaction was almost the same when Rafa came to the Studio.

Once when him and Angie were talking in the music room I decided to spy on them and heard he offered Angie a new job in Paris because he was so impressed by her singing voice.

I heard that first she didn't want to accept it but he made her think about it and I was relieved. But not for long because one afternoon she saw me changing my clothes from Jeremias to my regular clothes.

- A-Angie... I-I can explain... - I stuttered but she didn't care anymore. She was even more sad than before.

- Save it, German... - she said then ran away, crying and soon I heard she accepted the job and she was leaving soon.

She hated me so badly but I couldn't blame her. I was so horrible to her and after Vilu got to know she's leaving she was blaming me for that too.

I tried to stop Angie from leaving but I couldn't and when it was time I almost cried.

I hugged her tightly and whispered into her ear:

- Please, don't leave...

- I'm sorry but I've already decided - she said as she pushed me away gently then she hugged Vilu and Pablo one more time before getting into the taxi and leave.

She was gone. She was gone and it was my fault.

----- BACK TO PRESENT -----

Now she's here but she has a boyfriend and I feel like I could explode in anger.

I was sitting at the nearby park with my thoughts and I didn't realized someone was sitting next to me for a while now until the person playfully pushed me on my shoulder.

I turned to see who is it and my eyes widened.

Angie's POV:

I decided to take a walk while Nicholas finds out when we exactly the count come to the hotel and in the park I saw German, sitting on a bench and seem to be deep in his thoughts so I decided to join him.

First he didin't notice me until I poked his shoulder.

- A-A-Angie...! - he stuttered in surprise.

- Are you okay? You were deep in thoughts and as I remember you're only doing that when you're upset... - I said but I knew exactly what was he thinking.

He was thinking about the past. I did too before I came here and after thinking some time I realized that I can't stay mad at him.

- I-I'm fine... - he stuttered, looking down.

- I know you're not - I sighed - You were thinking about the past, didn't you?

His eyes widened again.

- I take this as a yes - I joked and he looked up at me and smile.

- I'm sorry, Angie... I truly am... - he finally said - I hurted you badly and... and...

- Okay... It's okay... - I said - It was 3 years ago... I forgive you...

- B-But I...

I didn't let him finish. I hugged him tightly with tears in my eyes. I felt so relieved now.

He didn't say a word, just hugged me back.

German's POV:

She hugged me and she said she forgave me.

This moment I felt so happy that I couldn't say a word, just hugged her back tightly. My day just couldn't be better after hearing those words from her...

- "I forgive you..."

All I wanted now is to be with her.

- Uhm... Would you like to... drink something with me... while talking? - I asked her, nervously.

- Yeah, sure! - she nodded, smiling happily.

I was so glad, hearing that. I couldn't be happier... or maybe I could. But now I don't care about anything else just about Angie!
