Try Once More.

Second Part. New Beginning.

•••

The next morning, Frida was in the Lobby with her suitcases and signing some documents when suddenly Mona, Ludvig and Benny appeared. While he was approaching, Paula started warning her mom who was giving the back to them. "Pau, please wait! I need to finish signing this", she didn't even take her eyes off the document until she heard the voice.

"Hi, Anni-Frid", the man said with a very warm voice.

"Shit!" she said almost to herself but Paula heard her, then she turned around and saw him with a big smile on his face. "Hi, Benny!" she looked at his side and there were Mona with a bitch face and a big blonde boy named Ludvig. "Nice to see you".

"Look uncle Benny, she's my mom but I forgot to tell you the other day or I rather didn't have the chance. I am Paula Lyngstad," she presented herself because she never needed someone else to do it.

Benny got on his knees to be in the same level as her "hi, little one. I'm glad to see you again". Mona wanted to die in that moment, a daughter... Benny got up again facing Frida. "So, that's the reason why you were fleeing from the past all of this years".

"No, she wasn't".

"Who's the father?" He had a big hope that she was his, for some reason he suspected it.

"Is someone you don't know, we fell in love but now I'm a single mom", she was trembling.

"Paula, how old are you?"

"She's four," Frida spoke before her daughter could do it.

"No mom, I already turned 5, don't you remember?"

Mona was so pissed, she needed to interrupt it. "Benny, we have to go now".

"Mona, let me talk to Frida, please", of course she wasn't going to allow it.

"Benny, you have nothing to talk to her, your son and I are waiting for you".

But Benny insisted "Mona, don't you see that this is important, let me talk to Frida".

"Benny, Mona is right you and i have nothing to talk about," Frida had to avoid it at any cost, he would start asking again but she didn't know if she was able to lie to him every time.

"She looks a lot like Alice", Frida tried to shut him up but it wasn't possible.

"Who's Alice?" Pau asked.

"Oh, she doesn't know", Benny said confused.

"No, she doesn't know".

"Benny, let's go please," Mona was very authoritative.

"Frida, give me a phone number where I can talk to you".

"Ask Görel, goodbye".

Frida gave the papers to the secretary and the maid helped them to carry their suitcases to the car to go to the airport but before Paula ran away back to Benny and hugged. "It was nice to see you again," she told him and Frida yelled at her.

"Come back here, we have to go".

"Little one, where are you going?" Benny asked.

"We are going to Sweden for the first time", she said and then ran again to her mother's hand who was getting angry. Benny was so happy to see Frida again and very surprised to know that she had another daughter. That girl had something and kept him thinking a lot.

He was so desperate and didn't know what to do, he still had a lot of things to do in London before going to Sweden again but he needed so bad to see them. Görel just at that moment went to the lobby approaching to him. "Frida just left," he said disappointed.
