Caray, Caray!

Cristobal tells Macarena that she will be talking to Cristobal the man, not the priest. Are you ready to talk? Macarena says she's ready.

Carlota and her lawyer are having drinks at a restaurant. He asks her if Cristobal is really important to her. Carlota says if he wasn't, then why would I be looking him up after all these years? It's just after knowing you all these years I have never seen you transform the way you do when you mention his name. Carlota says that she didn't realize how observant he was. He replies that he had a different opinion of her. He thought that she was a cold woman. I am responds Carlota. Not when Cristobal's name is mentioned. It appears that he is the only man that can make you lose control. Carlota tells him to quit analyzing her.

C: You don't know how happy I am that you are still alive.
M: I feel the same way. I wonder how our life may have been if we had known that we were both still alive.
C: Yes, but who would have thought that your sister could have caused so much damage to us.
M: My sister is full of malice and egoism. I loved you so much but it all got messed up.
C: In the name of love there can be so much good, but also so much bad.
M: She could never understand that you loved me. How could she when she was the one that was the strongest and most beautiful.
C: Like I told Rufi, I never knew. I never gave her any signs that I was interested in her.
M: I believe you. I understand more now what my sister is capable of. She showed me your obituary in the paper saying you had died. So I could accept your death.
C: She called me on the phone and told me that you had committed suicide and that I was to blame.
M: For just a moment I had the intention of doing just that. In believing that you were dead was very hard. But one thing kept me from doing that.
C: I don't know what that was, but I'm glad that it kept you alive.
M: When I was coming over here, I was thinking about everything that I wanted to say to you. I wanted to tell you about the love that I have for you. But now that I have you in front of me, I just can't.
C: Why? Please tell me why. We have kept quiet about this for all these years. We deserve it.
M: Yes, I know. But I can't. How can you talk about feelings with a man who can only love god?

Ines is home excited about her rose and letter. Angelica wonders what's going on. Ines says that someone left her a rose and letter. She wants Angelica to help her to get a new look. Angelica tells her that she looks just fine the way she is. But Ines wants to make sure that she really keeps the mystery man's interest. Angelica tells her that if she changes then maybe he would not want her anymore. He is in love with the real Ines. Ines agrees that she could be right.

The lawyer keeps on commenting to Carlota that she should not feel bad. She is an attractive woman. (the lawyer is blind. can he not see how ugly she is on the inside?) Carlota is getting annoyed with him and says that she is not use to all this attention. This city has loose morals but I don't. He keeps going on about her beauty. He's also surprised that she has never married. Carlota tells him that it's not every girl's destiny to get married. It was also my choice to dedicate my life in taking care of my niece after the awful tragedy happened. I understand, but soon your niece will make her own life and you are still young. Any man would be happy to have you at his side responds the lawyer. Carlota tells him that there is no room in her life for that. Is it because it is taken up with someone else asks the lawyer. (he is so freaking nosy). Carlota tells him it's none of his business and walks away.

C: I understand more then you think. Before I am a priest, I am a man. And I need to know alot of things.
M: So do I. But put yourself in my shoes. How would you feel after all these years you found me as a nun?
C: Yes, I can imagine how you feel. (he touches her cheek). I never thought that life would bring me back here. And never would I have thought of facing the reality of you and of the past. But one thing has not changed. Our love. It was pure, simple and clean.
M: That is why I have never gave my heart to another. You marked my life forever.
C: And you did the same to me. As a man I could not give my heart to another woman.
M: But you were going to marry Natalia.
C: Yes, but I couldn't. It was the day of the wedding when I realized that the love I had for you and the guilt of causing your suicide would always unite us. The presence of Sagario and Javier made me realize that.
M: You saw Sagario and Javier on the day you were going to get married?
C: (he nods yes)
M: Did you know that they died coming back home?
C: Yes. If they had not died, I would have known sooner that you were still alive. I went to look for them at their hotel, but they had already left to come back to Real del Monte.
M: Do you know that not only did Carlota want not want us happy, but something bigger and stronger. It was god or destiny. Or a sign that life did not want us together.
C: And why not? Tell me. Why is it now that life has brought us together again? Why after 18 years apart did he want us back together here? Looking each other in the eyes. Talking about what could have been?

Carlota is in her room and goes to the mirror. Why did you prefer her? I am sure that if you saw us both now, you would want to be with me. I so much desire a kiss from you. (I wondered for a moment if the mirror was like the one in Snow White where it would lie and say that she was the fairest of them all?)

Rufi is at the mercado shopping for fruit. An older gentleman comes up asking for some fruit. The shop lady says that she will be with him in a minute after taking care of Rufi. The older gentlemen says your Rufi? Of course. I'm Rufina Martinez, but they call me Rufi. And who are you? The older gentlemen replies that he is Mundo, her mariachi. She is shocked.

Carlota lies in bed telling herself that if he is still alive she wants to talk to him. She cannot leave this life without being his.

C: Don't you believe that I feel the same way? Don't you believe that I am rejoicing in finding you again?
M: I don't know. But I know that I don't want to be the one to cause you to question your vocation.
C: You were part of my life before I took this particular road. What's more it was your death that brought me to him.
M: That is now your path. A life dedicated to faith and service to god.
C: It was the only thing that gave me peace. And strength to handle your death.
M: I also gave myself to him (god) and Paloma. We found a way to deal with each other's death. But I know one thing. I will not compete with god. I will respect his plans for you.
C: What are you saying?
M: That this is the only time we will talk about our past together. If it was another woman or even if you were married I would try to get you back. Because the love that I have for you is stronger then I. But with god? I have to bow out.
C: But I don't know yet what I am feeling. (don't know what he said after this, my recording acted funny)
M: I will see you at mass and in the street. But you cannot be my confessor. (She turns away and he grabs her.) Don't touch me. Please don't ever touch me again. My mind is respectful of your vows, but my heart does not have that kind of strength. (she leaves)
Cristobal asks god for help. Macarena asks god to forgive her and give her strength. She cannot believe that the man she loves is now a priest.

Joel gets a call from someone who says they want to see him. He agrees to meet up at a cafe.

Elmundo follows Rufi and she tells him to leave her alone. He tells her he's happy to see her after all these years. Rufi says I don't feel the same way. For me you were dead and buried. But I am alive and have returned replies Elmundo. Then go back where you came from responds Rufi. Why asks Elmundo. Don't you remember why asks Rufi. No replies Elmundo. Well there you go replies Rufi. Elmundo wants to ask Rufi to go for a taco or whatever. He want to catch up. Is she married? Have any kids? Did she name any children after him? She tells him that she never married or had children. And if she did have any children she would never name them after him. Well one of my daughters has your name replies Elmundo. And she named one of her daughters after you in your honor.

Angelica takes her resume to Emiliano for a job. There is not a position open replies Emiliano. He can't believe that the school fired her. Angelica keeps mum about it.

Romina tells Paloma that Aaron left her with a good impression. She thinks that Paloma should finalize things with her aunts. Paloma reminds Romina that she wants to leave Real del Monte as soon as she finishes school. But you have plenty of time left replies Romina. Paloma tells Romina that she will think about it. Romina tells her that you only live life once. Perhaps I'll get Emiliano to fall in love with me again.

Angelica is escorted out by Emiliano and comes across Orlando. They say hi and she leaves. Orlando wants to know what Angelica was doing here. Looking for a job replies Emiliano. Orlando looks over her application and tells Emiliano that the current secretary, Veronica, has to leave because she is pregnant. And it's high risk. He wants to find someone that can work temporarily for them for 4 or 5 months. What do you think asks Orlando. Emiliano thinks it's a great idea. He wants to find out if she knows about office stuff. Orlando tells him to ask Angelica to come see him.

Mother Superior asks Paloma how is Macarena doing. Great replies Paloma. MS notices that Paloma is sad. Paloma denies it. MS says it's hard to confide in her because of her role as a disciplinarian. Perhaps when the new psychologist comes she can help. Paloma says that Angelica has helped her a lot. She doesn't think that anyone can replace her. And if MS asked around most people would want her back.

Joel meets the the mystery person who called. It's Sophia. He can't believe that they would ever see each other again. He figured that she would be happy with her husband. Sophia tells him that she did not get married.

Elmundo tells Rufi that had to go to help his brother with his band while his hand healed. Rufi asks why didn't he write her? Because I had every intention of coming back once a month, but things prevented it from happening. Rufi thought that he abandoned her. Elmundo tells her that she was the love of his life. She's not buying it. He swears she was. His nephew sent a letter to him that she had left and he didn't know where. Rufi asks did you think that I was going to wait for you? I have waited my whole life for you to return replies Elmundo.

Sophia tells Joel that she has not stopped thinking about him. Joel wants to know why Sophia has returned. I want to marry you replies Sophia. But you denied me responds Joel. Sophia tells Joel that she will no longer allow her father to run her life. Joel doesn't believe her. Her father wanted to punish him for setting eyes on her. That is why he believes her father wanted to close the factory. To ruin him. Sophia can't believe that her father would do that. Joel tells her to ask Rafael then. Sophia swears that she did not know that her father would do that. Joel promised himself that he would never set his eyes on a higher person again.

Romina tells Aaron (on the phone) that she went out to eat with Emiliano. She told him that she needed him as a friend, yada, yada. How did it go for you? Aaron says he doesn't know. Paloma seemed very distant. Romina tells him to find a way to convince her. He says it's not as easy as I thought it would be. Find a way replies Romina. We will keep trying. Aaron laughs and tells Romina the look on Emiliano's face when he told him that they (Paloma and him) were novios. Even Paloma confirmed it. Romina tells him to keep at it.

Sophia repeats again that she wants to be with Joel and doesn't care what her father says. Joel says you are saying that because he is angry with you for canceling the wedding with the man that he picked for you. Sophia says that he's angry, but will get over it. She wants to marry whomever she wants. Please take me back. I don't want to be with someone that I don't love. She kisses him.

Cristobal talks to Padre Basco about what happened between him and Macarena. Padre Basco tells him that she is in his past. What gives you the most happiness asks Padre. I don't know replies Cristobal. Think about it responds Padre.

Macarena tells Rufi about her conversation with Cristobal. She has lost him forever. Rufi says maybe it's time to make a new life with someone else like the doctor. Macarena says that she doesn't have the strength to do that. You have a reason to live replies Rufi. You have to remember Paloma is here. And confront Carlota about her lies.

Camila receives a letter from Samuel. He wants to see her and Romina. Camila becomes upset and asks Metiche were she got the letter. A local boy replies Metiche. Go get him asks Camila. Right away.

Rafael wonders why a deposit from Camila's store was made in his business account.

Ines and Diana are talking about her problem. Diana has decided to leave with Emiliano so that Orlando can never bother her again.

Rodolfo calls to speak with Macarena. Rufi tells him that she's asleep. He asks if she's okay. Rufi tells him that she went to church to talk to Padre Juan (Cristobal) and it seemed to have affected her. But she'll tell Macarena that he called when she wakes up.

Metiche brings the local boy who brought the letter to her. Camila is questioning him on the whereabouts of the man who wanted the letter delivered to her. The local boy doesn't know where he is, but says that the man comes and goes all the time. Camila asks him the next time the man comes back to tell her without the man knowing. The boy agrees and leaves. Metiche wonders what's going on. Camila tells her the man is her ex and wants to see Romina, but she doesn't want him around Romina.

Rodolfo goes to the church to see Cristobal. He wants to talk about Macarena and her bad health. (guess the guy has never heard of HIPPA) He says that Macarena is in bad shape because of Carlota. What do you want me to do asks Cristobal. Help me convince her to accept my marriage proposal asks Rodolfo.

Rufi tells Macarena that Rodolfo called. Macarena tells Rufi that her day has been full of emotional distress. Not just you replies Rufi. She tells Macarena about finding Elmundo at the mercado and their conversation. Macarena asks Rufi, "What if he really still cares for you?" Rufi just brushes it off. She doesn't believe him.

Cristobal tells Rodolfo that he cannot interfere in Macarena's life or for that matter anyone else's. Rodolfo says I'm not asking you too. I just want you to be her confessor, her priest and her friend. You have known her for a long time. Cristobal asks if her health is bad. Rodolfo says that she has suffered from diabetes since she was a child. The last treatment I gave her is not working and I believe that she needs to be in a stable enviroment. You believe Carlota is causing unstablility in her health asks Cristobal. Yes, replies Rodolfo. That is why I want to take her and Paloma away from Carlota. Are you in love with her asks Cristobal. Yes replies Rodolfo. I know she doesn't feel the same way about me though. But I believe that eventually she will. Cristobal tells Rodolfo that the favor he is asking him is very delicate. He feels responsible for Macarena. Why asks Rodolfo. Because I have known her for a long time and I don't want her to suffer. I don't know if she will talk to me about all this. But he will try to talk to her.

Joel goes to see Rafael. He asks why a deposit from Camila was put into his business account. Joel says that it must be a mistake from the bank. Rafael is not buying it. Joel says fine, I'll tell you the truth. Joel says that the one condition the anonymous investor wanted was for Rafael to never find out who that person is. Are you telling me that Camila is our anonymous investor? Yes, replies Joel. It is because she had confidence in you and the new line. Rafael is in shock.

Crisotbal prays to god. He needs help because he is jealous that another man is in love with Macarena. Rodolfo is behind him. He wants to confess something that Carlota told him about Macarena. Cristobal tries to protest, but Rodolfo insists.


Tomorrow: Emiliano thinks about Paloma; Rodolfo wants to confess to Cristobal about a secret that Carlota told him in regards to Macarena.
