Episode 4

As soon as Diego arrived home he tried to cheer her up...

*Diego* - Come on my Goddess, let's pack our bags, we have a new life ahead of us. I wonder if our soulmate will be there?

*Gabriela* - It could only be you, to think about that at a time like this! lol

*Diego* - They say it's the country of handsome men! I can already imagine myself with a gorgeous boy! lol

*Gabriela* - Lol

*Diego* - I'm serious (he says, arching an eyebrow🤨)

*Diego* - Don't tell me you don't imagine meeting anyone, I, with half your beauty, would get a boy a week (he says with a smile)

*Gabriela* - Di, you know I've always dedicated myself to my studies, to giving my mother a better future. I always went out with you to clubs, I got hookups but it was nothing more than that. I always told you that my dream is to date, get married and build my family! But first I want to graduate and get a job.

*Gabriela* - Just because my mother is not with me anymore, doesn't mean I'm going to give up on my dreams, now more than ever I'm going to focus on that.

*Diego* - But don't even think about it, young lady, that we're not going to have fun, you're very much mistaken!

*Gabriela* - Lol, I know, you don't let me rest!

*Diego* - Good thing you know! lol

Once they finished packing, they went to have a snack, Maria made a crazy black cake (chocolate cake), which is Diego's favorite. Gabriela asked to prepare dinner as a thank you for what Diego's family has done for her all these years...

*Diego* - Today we are going to have dinner prepared by none other than our future chef Gabriela Macedo! Let's hear it for her! (he says clapping his hands and smiling)

*Gabriela* - Lol, that's just like you!

Gabriela went to the kitchen and started preparing gorgonzola risotto and filet mignon medallions and for dessert panna cotta with red fruit sauce...

As soon as she finished preparing, she arranged the dishes and went to the dining room...

...*Diego* - Well, family, today's dinner was prepared by none other than our future chef, Gabriela! (he says excitedly)...

*Claudia (Diego's Mother* - What an honor! (she says clapping)

Fernando (Diego's Father) - And what's on the menu?

*Gabriela* - Filet mignon medallions with Madeira sauce accompanied by a gorgonzola risotto...

*Diego* - A dinner worthy of a restaurant! (he says, all smug)

Gabriela has dinner served!

*Gabriela* - I hope you like it!

Fernando (Diego's father) - It's magnificent, if you keep going like this you'll become one of the best chefs in the world! (he says as he tries it)

Claudia (Diego's mother) - Hmmm, the taste is divine, my dear, what magic hands! (she says after trying it)

*Diego* - I'm too biased to speak! I'm your number one food fan! In college I loved being your guinea pig (he says with a smile)

*Gabriela* - Thank you guys, you are the best! This is a dinner in gratitude for what you have done for me. And to make you proud, that the money you invested in my college was worth it. If I am successful today it is thanks to you who paid for the best college. Thank you for everything! (she says emotionally)

Claudia (Diego's Mother) - No dear, you succeeded on your own merit! We helped, yes, but you were the one who made the effort all these years!

Fernando (Diego's Father) - You don't have to thank us, we did it from the heart! She's a great girl and deserves to conquer the world with her cooking!

*Diego* - Oh, you guys are making me cry, and look, the compliments aren't even for me! (he says with tears in his eyes)

* Everyone laughs...

Gabriela was very emotional with the words and couldn't help but think of the pride her mother would feel if she were alive. Gabriela composes herself and orders the dessert to be brought...

*Gabriela* - This dessert is a panna cotta with red fruit sauce!

Everyone admired the delicacy of the dish, and praised it highly. Once they finished dinner, Gabriela and Diego went to rest for a while, as they will be traveling at 00:00...

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Diego set the alarm on his cell phone for 11 pm, when the alarm went off they went to get ready and when they went downstairs his parents were already waiting for them...

*Diego* - Dad, Mom, I told you, you didn't have to take us, we were going to get an Uber.

Fernando (Diego's father) - No way, we're going to take you and say goodbye properly!

They put their bags in the car and headed for the airport. Gabriela was thoughtful, a film was going through her mind. When they arrived, they said goodbye to Diego's parents and headed for the boarding area. It will be an 8 hour flight and they arrived there around 1:00 pm due to the time difference. It is a long trip so they settle into their seats next to each other and head for the United States...
