La Malquerida #34, 10/9/2014: Splendor in the Guestroom
Since Mads is always giving us great ear-worms to take with us throughout the day, I thought I'd provide one in the form of a fan video for our star-crossed lovers Alejandra and German, to the tune of Sabes by Reik.
-Before they can really get deeper into this conversation, Luisa comes in and gets an eyeful. She tells German to get out of there, because Esteban is in a terrible mood, and who knows what he’ll do if he finds German in Ale’s room. German dresses in 2 seconds and jumps through the window. LOL! Luisa helps Ale make the bed, so that Rosa doesn’t become suspicious about why it’s such a mess in the middle of the day. Luisa is highly impressed and assumes this means that Ale and German made up. Ale vacillates between conflicting emotions and says she feels so many different things. She’s on Cloud 9 because this is the first time she’s ever made love, and it was AMAZING! It was so natural and beautiful, but also unplanned. (Pregnancy alert?) She doesn’t think she and German should have let themselves get carried away. Luisa doesn’t see why not, since she’s sure Ale and German will be walking down the aisle soon. Ale doesn’t look so hopeful for a happily ever after with her prince.

Mads: I don't know if you'll see this, but I hope you get better soon!
Sara- I hope you catch up soon! I'm glad you liked the title. I hope Ale and German have happy ending together, unlike the protagonists of Splendor in the Grass.
Madelaine – My thoughts and prayers are with you. ((((hug)))) Get the rest you need and please know how much you’re appreciated.
What part of mother-daughter alone time does Acacia not understand? So annoying that she called Esteban to join them. Cris and Este are perfectly capable of sorting out things themselves, they don't need her help. Idiot.
Este's got some nerve visiting Alonzo’s tomb and telling him about his feelings for Acacia. Ick. Este seems to think he's the better man cause he saved the ranch. Buddy, there's no justifying your feelings for Acacia.
Luisa was a hoot. She catches German in bed with Ale because she failed to wait for "Come in!" before entering and then she can't take her eyes off German (but who can blame her?).
Vivi, I've been wondering which of the three is the inconvenient one. It's definitely not Cris. And at this point, I can't buy a Cris-Este together happily ever after ending. Este seems to be painting himself into a corner that he can never get out of. Maybe a valiant death would be for the best.
Vivi, "This is how far Este has fallen, when Rubio starts to regularly serve as his voice of reason" was perfect. It certainly reflects that Este has now indeed traversed the long road from hero to zero (which is the opposite of what Susanlynn hoped would not occur yesterday) in record distance.
"Alejandra closes in on herself" and "Nuria comes in crying and hands Uli her letter of resignation since everyone thinks she’s a slut. Uli falls for it and rips up the letter. Nuria smiles evilly" were among my many favorites. And of course your title was inspired.
For the first time, I am disenchanted with Ale. If she cannot confide in German now, I fear she will never be able to. Instead of gaining strength, she frustratingly continues to cling to her cocoon of faulty insulation and isolation, knowing this will not end well if she continues to keep quiet.
"He says he won’t be able to do it again because Dan threatened to kill him". How cavalier - so much for Memo's reported love for Perla.
I cringed when Uli tore up Nuria's resignation letter. What is really frustrating to me is I think he does see some of her manipulations. Why is he deluding himself?
Niecie "What part of mother-daughter alone time does Acacia not understand?". Yes, thank you. I was trying to think of how to phrase my feelings and you did it for me.
I was initially startled when I saw what you wrote about Este Vivi. But after digesting it for a while, I'm wondering if you have the only palatable explanation. Can we forgive him for lusting after Acacaia? Well, I can as long as he doesn't act on it. Can we forgive him if he cheats on Cris with Acacia? I know I couldn't.
Perhaps it's coincidental that another dashing man has appeared. Hector (who along with Arturo) is too delicious of a dish not be grabbed while it is warmed.
Thank you Vivi for coming to the rescue. I'm beyond impressed you did this from memory. Wow.
Diana
Madelaine---Get well vibes (((((((
You are missed. Really, not just nice words, you ARE MISSED.
More get well vibes. (((((((((((((
My count so far is that Nuria has won two rounds. If anyone is keeping score, it's Nuria 2 Acacia 0
Vivi--A valiant death for Esteban?
I could go with that, anything to keep him away from Acacia but---
Death of her real father and then Esteban, how would that affect Acacia mentally?
I can't wait to see what will happen at the art/photography exhibit. Will Norbie go ballistic and start a fight? Will DevilDan
show up while Alejandra is there?
Cris, Este & Hector? It could get interesting.
Must see TV tonight. Will Ulises make any progress to win back Acacia?
the gringo
Vivi, (they should let Alonso rest!) and Alonso probably wants to kick Este, is so true and soooo funny.
When they show Este enter the crypt i thought it was kinda weird but what you said is so true. I am wondering who will be alonso's next visitor. Will it be Norbie? Rubio? Rosa? All of them????
Este is for lack of another word a perv. I simply can't see he and Cris riding off into the sunset at the end. Some things are unforgivable and lusting after once' daughter even if he never acts on it is one of them. Lets face it AP has it all over CM in the looks department so i'm hoping that is how it ends and frankly i don't give a rats ass about who Acacia or Este end up with,
He is such a nice guy he doesnt deserve the entire famiky turning on him. I so wish he would say to__h__with Acacia and get him another real estate agent too. I agree acaia is an idiot for calling Este, and you know she be hugging hugging and hugging him. If it were my daughter, I would have put stop to that. His actions inexcusable, but his pure thoughts started somehow and all that very close hugging, makes me wonder.
LOL about Luisa sneaking a peek. I would too! In fact, I was hoping that Luisa would get out of the way so that I could.
Diana- Although I am extremely frustrated with Ale, I still understand how her background and situation has her paralyzed with fear of physical harm coming to German and others, and of how everyone will react when her truth comes out. Of course we know that this will just make things worse for her. I think she needs a good lawyer and a great therapist, more than she needs a boyfriend right now—even as wonderful as German is.
As for Memo, let’s not forget that he is not a good guy. But I’m not so sure that I believe that if he saw Dan attacking Perla again that he wouldn’t jump in to save her. I just don’t think he would stand aside and watch.
I think I might have a bit more sympathy for Esteban if I saw him actively fighting his obsession for Acacia. But instead he stalks her when she’s swimming, tries to drive her boyfriend away, manipulates her emotions with regard to her boyfriend, and tries to keep her as physically close to him as possible. He is actively fueling this fire. I’m looking forward to seeing how adding Hector to the mix affects Este’s behavior.
Novella lover- I can just see Norberto going into Alonso’s crypt to gloat about killing him, and now getting his hands on his lands if their kids marry. Maybe we’ll eventually get a Alonso ghost sighting. I wouldn’t mind since he’s my hot telenovio Marcelo Cordoba!
Anon 2:49- Thanks for commenting! There is so much going on at different levels with the characters in this tn (they actually feel like living breathing humans, rather than the cartoon characters in so many other tns), that it’s perfectly reasonable to suspect that on a subconscious level, Acacia knows exactly what she’s doing to Este and Cris. Very juicy theory!
Novella lover- Acacia wasn’t mad that Este had bought Cris a camera. She was pouty and disappointed that he hadn’t bought HER a gift and had stopped leaving his little gifts for her. Subtle difference, but still shows she has lingering feelings from her childhood crush, while not being outright hostile towards her mother.
I figured Ale and German would "go there". I think Ale is trying not to let on that she wanted it. She may have been forced into sexual acts before, but this was real; it was because of true love.
Nuria is getting on my last nerves with her crocodile tears and evil smiles. I hope Ulises figures it out soon. I wonder how he finds out where Acacia is tonight. Which brings me to why on earth did Acacia call Esteban. She doesn't realize that her attempt to get her mother and step father to reconcile only fuels her step father's obsession with her because he thinks SHE wants him there. Clearly Cristina won't be happy with Esteban's arrival to the mother-daughter trip.

Despite her mixed emotions about it, I'm glad Ale acknowledged how nice it was, and also acknowledged that it was the first time she had ever made love. The sex acts she has participated in since she was 13 don't count.
