My dear readers, this is the continuation of Paulina's romantic story. I hope you liked the first one.
The only thing she asks is for that man to leave the vehicle to her, because she couldn't stay one night there, so close and yet so far from her parents' house. But things would not be so easy, the gentleman also demands preference, it's only two hours away from his home and it's not fair to not give him the car.
So the employees of the place eventually decide to confront the two customers and let them work it out if they could. They introduce them to each other and tell them what is going on with each other.
Paulina then looks at the man who was next to her on the plane and he looks at her in response. Although he hadn't seen her on the plane… he did see her on his memories.
"Paulina... is that you?”
She looks at him, wondering how this stranger knows her name, warily she says... "How do you know me, how do you know my name?"
"It's me Paulina, it's Robert... remember? Sixth grade, you were the most beautiful princess in my story and I was the prince of the play. Don't you remember me?"
It’s then that Paulina’s eyes open in recognition, astonished she says “Of course! I remember you Robert! I remember you perfectly now. Oh how didn't I notice it before.”
And that's how they talked and decided to leave together in the vehicle that one of them would rent.
Robert himself remembered that she had been the girl of his dreams while they were in school and, in the play while they were both acting as prince and princess, he had sworn eternal love to her… In his mind that is, without her knowing it. On the other hand, Paulina, while acting as a princess with him, had lived the most beautiful story ever told with the one she supposed would be the love of her life.
Fate separated them, with Robert's parents deciding to send him to a privileged school and from there to college. Robert finished his studies as a surgeon and decided to stay until he finished making his good name.
The time had come for him to come to his hometown and stay there as he had always dreamed, but he never thought he would meet Paulina.
For her part Paulina remembered that the night she asked her shooting star for true love she asked it with her prince in mind, the young man she had loved in silence during her school years.
The two engaged in a very pleasant conversation in the car and told each other about their lives. In passing, Paulina told him that she was returning because her father had health problems and she would not leave him until she knew that everything was all right.
To which Robert confesses that he is definitely returning to the town, he had always dreamed of settling there and now he had everything he needed to be able to do so.
Without realizing it, both had stars in their eyes. They remembered at that moment their old feelings while animatedly telling each other about their own things, their hearts were beating in unison and it seemed that they had the same heart.
Paulina did not stop smiling and Robert didn’t stop telling his childhood anecdotes with her, so they felt they had never been separated.
And then, at one point, they both asked each other about their romantic lives, to which they each answered that they had nothing in mind until that moment.
Then just at that moment of the night, looking towards the starry sky that was bringing them closer to their destination, they saw how a shooting star moved from the sky until it disappeared in their eyes.
Both Paulina and Robert made a wish in their minds. Both asked the star for the love story they had had in their childhood to be completed with eternal love, with the love that they had promised each other while acting out the love scene in the school play.
And now as they entered the village they both came from, they felt how their lives had been at a standstill for so many years and they were finally beginning to feel that youthful love again.
They saw each other's faces and arranged to meet again the next day. Paulina took him to her parents' house and from there she said goodbye with the most beautiful of smiles. See you tomorrow, she said and then she went to her parents' house.
There he met his mother who had the happiest of news. His father was quite well. His problem was that he had not been able to sleep for a few nights and that made him unusually tired and when he slept through the night in the hospital the next day nothing disturbed him. So he would be discharged in the morning when the doctor checked him again.
Paulina had inadvertently returned to town only to complete that wish she asked the shooting star.
