(Seb calls Gaviota, Gaviota and Carmenza have been waiting to hear from him about going out to a restaurant together, they have also been talking about Europe and what Gaviota will have there - paid apartment, expenses, etc - and what Carmenza wants to pack to take with them... but Gaviota had already mentioned a couple of times she was worrying for not hearing from him)
Gav: Sebastian!! Ay, que hubo!! Mira, que angustia la que yo tenia!! Mira, porque no me habia llamado??
Seb: Te dije que yo tenia muchas cosas que hacer y... acabo de terminar.
Gav: Ay! Y si pudo dejar todo al dia?
Seb: Si... todo al dia. (he has a broken voice, he is really devastated and is making a superhuman effort to not let her figure out something is up or his mood)
Gav: Y si se va a poder ir con nosotras manana??
Seb:... Si...
Gav: Espere un momentico... (tells Carm he will be able to go with them, Carm very happy) Sebastian, no que mi mama esta festejando desde por la tarde!! Vea! Y Usted que entonces?? Tiene ya todo listo?? La ropa y todo??
Seb: Si. Ya tengo todo listo.
Gav: (noting his mood even though he is trying so hard to not show it) Y a Usted que me le pasa que esta todo como decaido??
Seb: No, no! Simplemente estoy cansado. Fue un dia muy largo. (TELL ME ABOUT IT!!)
Gav: No! Si yo me imagino lo cansado que debe estar! Pero entonces, esa comida de esta noche la podemos dejar para Londres!! Porque mi mama si, no le va a perdonar lo de la pedida de manos!!
Seb: Si.. Sabes, pidele que me disculpe, si?
Gav: (passes the message to Carmenza)
Car: Ah, no! Digale que tranquilo! y que yo lo perdono y que lo quiero mucho! Que es mejor que no vayamos porque yo estoy como con un tucu-tucu y todo (LOL, Gaviota relays the message back)
Gav: (gets a little sad) Y Usted se va a quedar esta noche alla donde Dona Cecilia?
Seb: (still faking tiredness) Un-huh! Si, ya me tienen una habitacion lista.
Gav: (not making things any easier for Seb) Ay, Sebastian! Usted me va a hacer tanta falta!! Yo hubiera dado lo que... fuera por pasar esta noche con Usted!...
Seb: (holding for dear life) ... Gaviota...
Gav: Pues eso si, vamos a tener toda la vida para pasarla juntos (Carmenza is changing the cassette on the stereo and raising the volume)... Ay, Madre! que es lo que esta haciendo??
Carm: (signals to Gaviota to get the phone closer to the stereo while 'Regalame esta noche', one of Gav and Seb's favorite songs , is playing... Gav lets Seb listen... he is really under sheer torture, covering the phone with the hand so he can snif and not be heard... turning his head away in signal of not being able to hold any longer, but he does...poor thing... here here... )
Gav: Si le gusto??...
Seb: Si... me gusto mucho. (whispering with difficulty, totally emotionally overloaded)
Gav: Jaja... ahora va a poder dormir tranquilito. Mire, y a que hora nos recoge?
Seb: A las 10:30.
Gav: Yo creo que a las 10! Para despedirnos de Dona Cecilia, de Marcela, de Paula que se han portado lo mas bien todos!
Seb: (caught unprepared and shows it) Se... Se van a despedir de ellas?
Gav: Pues claro!! Ay, yo no me voy a ir sin despedirme, sin decirles hasta luego siquiera!
Seb: Esta bien. Entonces yo paso a las 10.
Gav: Bueno... un besito. Vayase a dormir y se suena conmigo, bueno? (OMG!! talk about torture on poor Seb!!)
Seb: (manages just a whisper)... si, Gaviota...
Gav: Sebastian!... Mire, yo lo adoro a Usted... lo amo y lo idolatro con toda mi alma!... (is confused at his lack of response)... si me oyo??
Seb: ... Si!... (trying to smile) Si. Perdoname, es que estoy un poco cansado.
Gav: Es que se tiene que ir a dormir ya, no? (LOL Does he have a bedtime assigned when at Cecilia's??LOL) Pues entonces hasta manana. Que Dios me lo bendiga siempre mil veces!... (hangs up but you can tell she is suspicious...)
Seb: Hasta manana, Gaviota... (hangs up crying, Marcela comes over and he sits down in couch totally devastated, she sits on couch arm, hugging him, they cry together... Sebastian explains to Marcela he has to hold on making Gav think they are leaving the next day because if she learned anything now she would never leave, he has to tell her tomorrow, 'cuando ella no tenga otra opcion mas que irse'...)
Marc: Porque nos esta pasando esto?? Porque todo se esta volteando sobre nosotros??
Seb: No lo se, Marcela, pero lo unico que yo deseo es que esta maldicion no le caiga a Gaviota... que me caiga solo a mi...
(at that very moment, at Gaviota's living room, Gaviota and Carmenza are scrambling all over the carpet, her bead necklace that Sebastian gave her at San Andres has broken and they are picking up the beads, Carmenza HAS to bring up the possibility of it being a sign of bad things to come... lol)
