TAN CERCA DE TI, NACE EL AMOR #16 Part 1
Notes from the Couch
ELEAZAR
Eleazar and Vale never get to kiss because Facundo pops up asking them what they are doing there. Vale makes up a lie about looking for a lost earring when she was at the same location with her godfather and leaves. Facundo knows it is a lie.
Later at their home, Facundo yells at Eleazar telling him it is not time to get involved with a girl. He needs to concentrate on conquering the world. Eleazar is sick and tired of waiting to race. Facundo cites the example of retired motocross world champion Ryan Dungey who started as an alternate. When his chance came, he didn't let anyone stop him. He used the time he had spent waiting, to make himself invincible. Facundo will make sure that happens for Eleazar no matter the cost.
ROMINA
Marcos is angry with Romina becasue she lied to his face. She says she lied because she didn't want to put up with they way he is right now. He demands the truth. She refuses until he calms down. She will not be shouted at and interrogated.
Later Marcos has calmed down sufficiently for Romina to tell him about the tryout. It does bother him that she would trust Iván enough about her modeling aspirations. She explains that they work together all day long. She asks Marcos if he talks to the guys he works with. (DUH!) She explains that she thought she would do well but she got nervous and didn't understand what they really wanted. She ended up feeling ridiculous. She concedes that he was right. It is too late for her to be a model. Marcos thinks that it is good that she has that clear. He warns her not to lie to him about sneaking around with another man.
The next morning, Romina is ready to go running when Marco appears asking where his breakfast it. She tells him she has limited time so she either goes running or makes him breakfast. She has chosen to go running. He is upset thinking that she could do that for him. He does "help out around the house." That sends her ballistic (and me, too). She says they both live in the house and they both work, so he should be doing his share around the house just like her. He then makes it clear that she doesn't have to work. . . She informs him one more time that she is not quitting. She leaves for her run.
OLD LOVE
Kassandra tells her mother about the kiss!!! She dreamed about that moment for so long. Isaura says they both dreamed about that moment . . .
YOUNG LOVE
Claudia's mother Lorena tries to explain to her why she "failed" her eyes. She was young and fell in love with Facundo without really knowing him. She tries to warn her daughter that she is so very young to be making all these plans for her and Diego. Claudia insists that she and Diego are going to have their happily ever after and she will not end up like her.
Majo finds Diego at her house when she gets home. Iván orders vegan pizza with almond cheese. Majo and Diego clearly like each other. They talk about karaoke at the snack bar. Majo gets upset when Iván tells Diego to look after Majo at the bar.. Later she tells Iván that it is not easy for her when her dad who was absent from her life for 18 years now wants to run her life. That isn't happening. If there is no mutual respect, she will be moving out.
In the mean time, Claudia has been looking for Diego at his home and she ends up telling Kassandra about her love life. Joaquín ends up taking her and
Kassandra home.

TAN CERCA DE TI Part 2
The next day Diego goes to the snack bar to chat with Majo. They share a laugh over Ivàn telling Diego to look out for her when it is she who should be looking out for him. Claudia walks in wondering what the joke is.
Vero tells Vale that she looks like she is is interested in somebody . . Vale confides in Vero about Eleazar over the pasta and salad supper (that she really likes a lot.). ( Meli and Dani are eating their supper in their room) Vale says she isn't in love. They guy is arrogant and thinks he is something special. Vero asks about the rest of him. Vale likes the rest of him a lot. Vero thinks that she is seeing something about him that he doesn't show to anyone else. That is how love starts when one least expects it and then BOOM everything changes.
VERO
Joaquín passes through the kitchen saying he will not be home for supper either. He tries some of the pasta and likes it. He asks Vero not to tell the children anything about his relationship with Kassandra since they know nothing of his personal life.
Consuelo talks to Vero about how things are going and ends up asking her if she likes Joaquín. Vero is shocked. Consuelo doesn't know why. Joaquín is a good looking guy that has his own charm. Doesn't he make her feel like a woman? Vero says no but cannot help but smile which encourages Consuelo to tase her about liking Joaquín, She tells her aunt about the kiss she walked in on. Consuelo thinks that of she didn't like him, she wouldn't care about the kiss. Vero shrugs and says that Kassandra is a jealous woman. She is everywhere he is and even at the house. She doesn't want any problems with her. Consuelo concludes she is falling in love.
Vero has a wonderful dream of her and Joaquín kissing in the kitchen.
Facundo calls and invites Vero out for lunch. She is having a hard day and accepts.
JOAQUíN
Joaquín confides in his brother Iván at the snack bar. Kassandra kissed him. He doesn't know what to do. She is his friend and she works for him so if he goes any farther, he will need to be sure that his feet are firmly planted on the ground. She is a smart woman who is open to helping him with the kids and the company, with everything. Maybe with time, he could build something real with her. It isn't love yet but that is a possibility. Maybe Kassandra would give the kids a sense of stability and safety. Iván can't believe he is talking like this when he always fled whenever the word commitment came up. He makes a joke saying the iceberg (Kassandra) has hit the Navarro ship which is sinking directly into the icy depths of eternal commitment.
After seeing the reaction of fear from the kids about him flying to Miami for the meeting, Joaquín cancels the pending meeting and loses a big deal for the company. . He explains that his family is his priority at this time.
Joaquín starts going through boxes and files in Luis', now his, home office. He finds the designs for a motorcycle that he and Luis were designing years ago. He looks at the project add thinks it could save the company.
Joaquín calls the accountant and there is no answer . . . again. He calls Kassandra and asks her to track him down. He wants the proposal that was made on a project from years ago. She, also, has been trying to contact the accountant to get the trimester balance. She will try to contact him again. He invites her out for lunch and she accepts.
WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE
Facundo and Vero arrive at a restaurant. In a few minutes, they see Joaquín and Kassandra arriving at the same place. and soon to be behind them in line. Vero turns her face away as Facundo tries to decides what to do.

TAN CERCA
Jarifa, thank you for your stellar recap.
I was riveted to the screen watching Joaquin and Vero's sexy interplay; I was shocked it was a dream. Drat! There was something so sexy about the way he removed her work glove; that kiss was AMAZING. Color me disappointed.
"Kassandra tells her mother about the kiss!!! She dreamed about that moment for so long. Isaura says they both dreamed about that moment". Good grief woman, get a life! Preferably, your own life :)
Did Marcos want Romina to spoon feed him too?
I hadn't understood anything about a meeting or that Joaquin pulled out because his flying would have upset the children. One of the many reasons your translations are so helpful and important.
"Iván orders vegan pizza with almond cheese". A very hard pass from me. ☹
There was a scene with two women I believe were mother and daughter. They were walking and the daughter was eating some kind of meat on a roll. I think I've seen the mother once but I have no idea who they are.
Facundo is abusive; I wish Eleazar would get away from him.
Jarifa, thank you again!

TAN CERCA
Thanks, Diana,
“Did Marcos want Romina to spoon feed him too?” He really doesn’t get the message, does he? I was happy that Romina would not be manipulated by that big baby.
I, too, was disappointed that the kitchen romance was only a dream. Wah! Those two actors sure have chemistry.
I actually feel sorry for Eleazar. He seems like a good kid that has been bullied by his own father into being a bully.
The woman with the daughter is a friend of Consuelo who is most likely going to lose the business that her husband left her. Being honest, I chose not to cover that sub plot and don’t even know the the characters’ names. I thought that Uni would have clipped that plot out when they had to reduce the length of the episode. Guess not. :(
It seems like it is going to be a busy week on the novela with the way things are lining up. I didn’t like to hear that the moto cycle that Joaquín and Luis had designed could “save” the company. Things have gone south so quickly. Yikes!

Thanks Jarifa. I thought major was a vegetarian, not vegan, so I missed the almond part of the cheese order. How old is Majo supposed to be? Was Ivan involved at all early in her life or has he always been an absent dad. I'm can't make up my mind about him, I think he will end up being a bad character. I thought maybe the modeling gig was a red Herring. I agree, Romina isn't really model material, she doesn't have the tall stick model figure that industry seems to prefer. (I personally think she is prettier than the average model).
Joachin is right to give up on that Miami opportunity. Send Kassandra to make the deal or if the other company really wants the deal, come to him.

Kat, Majo is a vegan. She is 18 years old and Diego is 17. When she was a baby,her mother left her father and went to live in Spain. He never went to go see her until Joaquín paid for a trip to Spain so he could visit her when she was a little girl. After that, he never bothered to go back or, it seems, to have any real communication with her. Now, Majo saw him as a way to get out from under her mother's thumb and away from the police. I am also on the fence about Iván.
It is too bad that Joaquín lost that deal in Miami because his company just lost a huge order after they came in second in the last race. Not a positive trajectory where $$ is concerned.

Jarifa, thank you; I was a bit relieved the mother and daughter (meaningless) scene were people whose story hasn't been delved into. There are far more interesting characters (I was trying to figure out what the daughter was eating rather than what was being said although I failed on both counts) :)
Kat, I also think Romina is very pretty.
Jarifa and Kat, Ivan is immature and self-centered but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt if he tries to become a better man.

Thanks Jarifa, I enjoyed the recap and learned the kids were afraid for him to fly. When I miss stuff I seem to miss important stuff!
Marcos gets worse every episode. There seems to be interest between Ivan and Romina, but I didn’t like how he sprinted her away to try her hand at modeling. Plus, he’s making moves on a married woman. I’d like to see Romina dump Marcos and just be independent for a bit.
I don’t like Eleazar or Facundo. Apparently his faults aren’t a big NO for Vale.
I also loved the dream scene and was disappointed when we realized it was a dream. They’re going to fall in love and then Joaquin will discover her lies. She’s at the point of being discovered but hopefully Facundo will rescue her.
This is a two swim meet week, so not sure if I’ll be able to keep up, may be watching the next day. Just know I appreciate your recaps, Jarifa.

Jarifa, thank you so much for those lovely notes from the couch as our story unfolds .
Cassandra and mom keep on pushing .
Ivan and Joachin appear to be growing closer .
As I've said, I am not interested in the love triangle of Marcos- Romina- Ivan .
Are we now hearing A love theme song when Eleazer and Vale are on screen together ? I think that Eleazer is going to become a good guy because of the way his awful father is treating him, and Eleazer and Vale will get a HEA. That would pair Hugo and Consuelo's daughter.
Can't wait to see what happens at the restaurant. Susan
