Rita's Unseen Destiny.

 Carlson and Aturo chatted and laughed together, happy to see Rita so happy. They had worked together to make this party special, and it was clear that their efforts had paid off.

 As the evening drew to a close, Carlson was invited to give a speech to the people at the party. He started by saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, I am so proud to stand here today and introduce my wonderful wife Rita. As many of you know, Rita has recently joined our team of Sha industries, and I have to say, she has been an absolute rock star. Her dedication, expertise, and warm smile have already made her a significant impact on our company.

 I want to take a moment to express my heart-felt gratitude to each one of you for welcoming Rita with open arms. Your co-operation, support, and kindness have meant the world to her, and to me. I know that integrating into a new team can be challenging, but you have all made it seamless for Rita. 

 I want to thank you for your patience, understanding and willingness to work together as a team. Your positive attitude and energy have created a wonderful work environment, and I am so grateful to be a part of it.

 Rita, my love, I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. You are an incredible partner in both life and in business. I am honored to stand by your side and support you every step of the way. 

 To my amazing team, thank you again for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. Let's continue to work together to achieve greatness and make the vintage-themed café shine brighter than ever. 

 After Carlson finished his speech, Rita was also invited to give a speech to the people present.

 Rita came forward and said," Dear friends, I'm so touched by this beautiful farewell party! The vintage decorations, the delicious treats and the wonderful company are just perfect. As I stand here, surrounded by all of you, I am filled with so much gratitude and love. I have learned so much from each one of you, and I will carry those lessons with me always. 

 I have to say I am going to miss this place so much. The café has been my second home, and I have loved every moment of it. But I am excited about the new adventures ahead, and I know that we will stay in touch.

 Thank you all for being part of my journey here. Your support, encouragement and friendship have meant the world to me. Keep shining your light, and I will do the same.

 Cheers to new beginnings, and to staying in touch! Rita raised her cup for a toast, and the group cheered.

 When Rita had finished her speech, Carlson stepped forward and said,"One more thing, everyone! I forgot to mention that in my absence Aturo will take over as the manager for the vintage-themed café." 

 The room erupted in applause as Aturo, who had been standing at the back, made his way to the front. Carlson shook his hand and handed him a small key. 

 "Congratulations, Aturo!" Carlson said." I know I am leaving the café in good hands. You have been an invaluable member of our team, and I have no doubt you will take the café to new heights. "

 Aturo smiled humbly and accepted the key. Thank you, Carlson. I am honored to take on this new role. I promise to keep the café running smoothly and to continue the legacy you have built.

 Rita stepped forward and hugged Aturo." I am so happy for you, Aturo! You deserve it. I know you will do great things. "

 The group cheered and clapped again, and Aturo blushed with pride. Thank you, everyone. I won't let you down." 

 With that, the party continued with Aturo now at the helm, and Rita and Carlson preparing to start their new chapter together.

 As the party was coming to an end, Rita thanked Aturo and Carlson again for making it such a special day. I will never forget this, "she said, her voice filled with emotions.

 Carlson smiled, his eyes shinning with happiness. We are just glad you enjoyed it, Rita. You deserve all the love and happiness in the world.

 The following morning, Rita woke up feeling uncomfortable. She looked down and noticed that her legs were swollen, likely from standing for too long at the party the day before. But as she rubbed her legs, she remembered that she was pregnant, and the swelling could be a sign of something more serious. 

 "Carlson, my legs are swollen, "Rita said, concern etched on her face.

 Carlson immediately sat up and examined her legs. " Let me get you some ice packs," he said, and quickly got out of bed to get them. 

 As he applied the ice packs to her legs, Rita winced with discomfort. I think I need a massage, "she said, her voice strained.

 Carlson nodded and began to massage her legs, starting from her feet and working his way up. Rita closed her eyes and relaxed, feeling the tension in her muscles ease.

 As he massaged, Carlson couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe at the life growing inside Rita's womb. He was going to be a father.

 After a while, Rita opened her eyes and smiled at Carlson. " Thank you, that feels so much better.

 Carlson smiled back and kissed her lips.

 "Anytime, my love, we will get through this pregnancy together." 

 As Carlson continued to massage Rita's legs, he couldn't help but think about how much their lives were about to change. They were having a baby ! He was going to be a father!

 Rita seemed to sense his thoughts and smiled up at him." Hey, what are you thinking about?" She asked. Her voice is soft and gentle.

 Carlson smiled back at her. " Just thinking about how much our lives are about to change, "he said, his voice filled with wonder.

 Rita nodded, her eyes shinning with excitement. "I know, it's crazy! But I am so ready for this new chapter in our lives." 

 Carlson nodded in agreement, me too, my love. Me too" 

 As they sat there in comfortable silence, Carlson continued to massage Rita's legs, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over him. He knew that they were in this together, and that they would face whatever came their way as a team.

 After a while, Rita spoke up again. "You know, I think I am feeling a little better now. Thanks to you and your magic massage skills!" 

 Carlson chuckled and kissed her lips. " Any time, my love. That's what partners are for!"

 Rita smiled and snuggled into his side. " I am so grateful to you, Carlson. You are going to be an amazing father."

 Carlson's heart was swollen with love and pride. He knew that he would do everything in his power to be the best father he could be for Rita and their baby.
