章 49: AN UNEXPECTED SURPRISE FOR AMARANTA

— Amaranta finished her class schedule and left school. A green army SUV was parked some distance from the school gates. As Amaranta passed the SUV, David Scott yelled, "Little Amaranta!"

"David? What are you doing here?" — Amaranta asked, very surprised, once she saw the SUV, the military man was calling her from there.

David Scott got out of the vehicle and got little Amaranta into the car. As soon as she realized that Izan Marsans was sitting in the back of the car when she entered… "Izan!" She shouted, surprised, as well as very excited by such a pleasant surprise.

"I heard you did well in the mock exams."- Izan Marsans reached out to caress little Amaranta's head.

— Amaranta showed the most tender and sweet smile of hers to Izan and said: "That's right. I came first in the entire school, and my total score was more than 700. They were wrong!"

— Izan Marsans, she did not tell Amaranta that he had witnessed everything that had happened when she was put to the test in front of all of her classmates, that he was very proud of her performance on stage.

She-she seemed very confident when she spoke in fluent English.

She *she was like a queen.

*She was confident and prepared.

*She was beautiful and youthful.

"Are you happy?" Izan Marsans asked

"I am," Amaranta answered truthfully. Who, at that moment, showed her clean face, without any makeup, in the sunlight you could see her beautiful gray eyes, resplendent, full of life, her hair looked like fine strands of braided gold threads, with a beautiful lilac dress with flowers White and gold embroidered on the hem and waist, which made her look very youthful and with the body of a woman, as Izan noticed that she was not as thin as when he met her.

— David said to Izan Marsans: "Captain, you and little Amaranta only have half an hour. I will wait for you in the other USV. See you soon, little Amaranta." Izan simply nodded. He said goodbye, left and headed to another USV that they saw parked across the street at a safe distance.

— Unbeknownst to Amaranta, in the other USV, they saw the woman who just a day ago had dared to declare her selfish love for Izan Marsans, Liliana Cota, who without wasting any time asked David Scott at the moment who got into the car: "Is she the girl who saved Captain Marsans?"

"That's right, Doctor Cota. Isn't little Amaranta adorable?" David asked with an enchanted face.

"No, she's not adorable, at least to me," thought Liliana Cota. She continued, "Is Captain Marsans interested in little Amaranta?" She continued insisting with her questions like Liliana the previous time.

"That's impossible," responded David Scott, surprised by Liliana Cota's question. "Dr. Cota, Captain Marsans cannot be interested in little Amaranta." — David Scott reflected on the age difference between Izan Marsans and Amaranta Cid was too great. Without forgetting that Izan would not lend himself to gossip.

— Reflectively analysing Captain Marsans' behaviour, he would not do anything to little Amaranta. He was too young.

"Is that so?" — Liliana Cota's heart was full of bitterness. . Didn't she like Amaranta? And shit, that could only be a lie.

— If Izan Marsans didn't like Amaranta, why would Captain Marsans, who had always been a responsible person, have his second-in-command drive the others back to camp after training and have him come visit her in hers? Even if he didn't like her, Amaranta was still special to Captain Izan Marsans, Liliana Cota was sure of that.

— Izan Marsans led Amaranta beyond the line that delimited the old town, the town, where his grandmother's house was. He turned off the engine of the USV and stayed chatting with Amaranta for a few minutes, before telling her that they had to get off.

Izan Marsans took her school backpack and threw it to the men, her bag was very heavy. However, the weight of Amaranta's bag was nothing for Izan's strong arms.

— She was wearing her camouflage uniform and her short hair was very clean. He started telling her, "I have to go home after you get home. Amaranta, even though you did very well on the exam, you shouldn't be too confident. Remember, they were just mock exams. You have to study hard for the exams." real."

"Oh, Izan, if you have time, could you help me have a look at something?" Amaranta had been back in town for a few days, and she wanted to see the things her mother had left behind. To see if Izan Marsans or her Philip could help her find her real biological father.

She-she thought she might find some clues about who her biological father was from these things.

"All Right." Izan Marsans, accepted in a good manner, for which he nodded.

Izan Marsans was about to open the door to the grandmother's house.

Little Amaranta. "I have to go now. I won't go in and see grandma, I don't have enough time to do that. Take good care of yourself. Remember to rest once in a while." Izan patted Amaranta on the head. The warmth of his palms caused mixed emotions in Amaranta. She suddenly cried.

"Why are you crying?" Izan asked him with a worried voice.

Amaranta didn't know why she was crying.

Maybe it was because she couldn't bear Izan Marsans leaving her… Or maybe she felt that there was still one more person in this world who was so good to her. He was so nice to her that she didn't know how to repay him.

Izan Marsans used his handkerchief to wipe Amaranta Cid's tears.

She seemed even gentler then.

Amaranta cried even more, her tears down her white cheeks. "Are you upset?"

— Amaranta nodded. That's how it is. She was upset. She couldn't believe that so many people at her school doubted her abilities. She was upset, because she needs Izan's support next to her, and she didn't know why.

"Little girl, prove them wrong, that you are capable enough, with your scores for the college entrance exams you can stand out and show that they are real."

Amaranta then stretched her arms To reach Izan Marsans with force. When she hugged him, Izan Marsans stiffened for some reason. After a moment, he relaxed and patted Amaranta's back lightly, showing support.

"Be good. I'll visit you again next time when I have time." Amaranta did not speak. She couldn't stand Izan leaving her alone, she didn't want him to leave her. She just couldn't stand it. She wanted to be close to him. She wanted to hug him until the end of days and never part with him.

The sound of her heart beating was right next to her ear. It felt like music to her.

— A strange emotion crossed Amaranta's heart as she listened to the sound of Izan's beating heart.

"Izan, please do everything you can so that nothing happens to you while you're away from me." She said it with a pleading voice.

— While Izan's heart beat faster when she heard little Amaranta's words.

— After a moment, Amaranta released Izan, who breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the girl in her arms was no longer crying. "I'll go now, don't cry any more little one." He gently released her from her arms and walked away. Izan knew that if she turned around or gave him any other kind of caress, he wouldn't be able to leave her alone, so she left without further ado.

She-she was gone. Her slender and strong figure disappeared into the darkness silently.

* Her tall, muscular figure gradually disappeared before her eyes.

* Amaranta stayed still.

She didn't move at all.

She-she reflected on what she had recently. She knew this was only the beginning. Many things would develop in the coming days.

She-she Let some time pass before entering her grandmother's house, I need to calm down completely, her heart was beating a mile an hour…
