Chương 56: TELL ME WHAT I AM IN YOUR EYES?

— Izan was reflecting on the question that Amaranta had asked him, what was she like, in his eyes she was the most special girl he had ever met, so he had no complaints about her behaviour or her character, for that reason he answered without a doubt: "You are kind, a very attached, serious granddaughter and an undoubtedly adorable girl," Izan Marsans said with a smile. "Amaranta, you are simply the best."

— Because of which Amaranta blushed, her face was dyed with a warm pink colour on her white cheeks, for Izan that was so tender on her part, that it moved him to the depths of his being, she was the most delicate girl than his eyes. Never seen before.

— So he decided to give him one more incentive so that he would not give up on his studies towards achieving his goal of passing the university entrance exam with the highest score, letting him know a little secret: "You have to work hard and get into the university." Capital University. If you enter Capital University, I will be your military training instructor."

— Amaranta's eyes opened with excitement. "Really? But you're a Captain."

— "Yes, that's right. That's why this is a secret, and I can't wait to see you there." — Izan responded, amazed by his little girl's excitement.

— Amaranta was delighted. She couldn't hide her joy, it was impossible for her not to show how happy it made her to know that she would see Izan at the University, as her instructor, that meant that they would spend several months together. She felt as if she had drunk a glass of cold water in the middle of summer.

— "Definitely, I will go to Capital University," Amaranta assured Izan.

— "You know, Izan, I have to tell you something I've thought about. I plan to hire a designer to help grandma renovate our house. Grandma is used to staying in her own house. Now we are in a small flat that doesn't It has a patio and that is not good for the grandmother who is used to having her trees and flowers. Amaranta commented to Izan.

— To which Izan responded, requesting as always: - "Ask CEO Thompson for help. Find a construction team from the capital. Eleonora can help supervise the construction work while you are at school. Maybe she can move to her new home for when the university entrance exams are over."

"She's fine then."

— As always, Izan already had everything ready for Amaranta's house to be remodelled, both the architects and the workers, everything was working out long before going to see Amaranta, only Amaranta didn't say anything to him, because she hoped that Philip Thompson He was already handling the matter, until she called him. Izan Marsans always like the Lord Almighty… They are two steps ahead.

— Izan I knew that Amaranta was about to go through an extremely crucial period in her life: the college entrance exams. In addition to the recording of the film. It was better not to bother her with such unimportant matters. So trivial in her hands.

— "Here is your birthday gift." — The gift that Izan had prepared for Amaranta's birthday was a fountain pen.

— The fountain pen was one he had treasured. For a long time. — "I won this pen as a prize in a Quantum Physics contest when I was studying at Capital University. I am giving it to you now, and I hope you never forget your goals and because that is what will take you to where you want to go in your life."

— Amaranta took the box that contained the pen.

*After lunch…*

— The two went to a cinema. The movie. She knew that an unremarkable character in the movie would eventually become a megastar in the entertainment industry.

— It was already getting dark when they left the cinema. Izan went to the presidential suite of the hotel and brought the things that he had bought for Amaranta, then they went together to the car park of the shopping centre where they were and boarded the SUV, which is a military green vehicle. Then, he went to Amaranta's house to drop her off.

— While she was travelling on the way home, Amaranta leaned against the window. He looked at the landscape with sadness. A voice in her heart said that she couldn't bear Izan leaving her, although her mind ordered her to reflect correctly, but she couldn't do it.

— The military SUV stopped outside the rental flat. Amaranta got out of the car. She raised her small face and looked at Izan.

"Izan, go up to the flat with me," Amaranta invited. "I'll make you dinner, will you?"

— Izan extended his hand and patted her on the head and responded: - "I'll go with you upstairs." — Izan, without knowing what Amaranta was thinking, felt the same thing deep inside, he couldn't bear the idea of separating from his little girl, in such a short time, that's why I agree to go up to her flat and be by her side for a while longer, so I would greet grandma. She went upstairs with Amaranta. When they reached the stairwell.

It was, they met Alberto Ortega's mother.

— Alberto Ortega's mother saw Amaranta and then saw Izan, who was behind her. She didn't say anything and simply ignored them, looking like a bad friend.

— "Captain…" — Eleonora opened the door and saw Izan standing outside. She almost salutes him out of habit, using the customary military salute.

Amaranta asked, perplexed: "Eleonora, did you just call 'boss'?"

Eleonora's heart skipped a beat, and she replied, "This is the way it is. I saw an article about the Captain in a military newspaper." I express a little nervously.

— Even someone like Amaranta who knew nothing about the army, who knew how impressive a person from the militia had to be to get to appear in an article in the military newspaper. "

— Grandma Mary heard this exclamation and recognized her granddaughter's voice, so she hurried out of the kitchen, no matter what, she left what was prepared and asked hurriedly: "Is Marsans here?" — Grandma, He left the kitchen.

— Seeing her, Izan rushed to greet her. "Grandma, are you feeling better?" — With a very familiar voice

— "I'm much better," answered the grandmother, smiling brightly. "Marsans, I'm making dinner right now. Come in and eat with us."

— Izan, who was about to leave, smiled and stayed at her flat to eat with the three women. A longing to be with family.

— When Izan sat down and looked at the flat, he immediately noticed the deterioration of it, which is why he decided that it was imperative to have grandmother's house ready as soon as possible, he did not want Grandma Mary to be in these conditions, and very much except Amaranta, they immediately felt that they should fix the yard as soon as possible.

— Amaranta offered him more of what his grandmother prepared. Izan. "Izan, do you want more, try it, this is delicious," Amaranta offered, handing some meat to Izan, who received it with enthusiasm. Amaranta hoped that Izan could stay a little longer.

— She wanted to spend more time with him. She really couldn't bear Izan to leave. — "Grandma, I have to go back to base now." — Amaranta reluctantly accompanied Izan to the SUV. Tears filled her beautiful eyes when she saw Izan in the driver's seat. Oh, she couldn't bear to see him go!

— I can't stand it!

— "Izan, drive carefully and take care of yourself, will you?" — Izan Marsans got out of the car and held Amaranta's hands. He placed his hands on her chest.

— "Little Amaranta, I'm leaving now." — Amaranta made a sound between sobs in the form of agreement.

— "Izan, take care of yourself."

—"I will do that."

— Still reluctant, Izan let go of Amaranta and got into the car. He started the engine and drove away. As he drove, he stretched a hand out the car window and waved goodbye.

Amaranta stood on the corner of the street and said goodbye with both hands, with all her strength.

Goodbye, IZAN!!…
