TAN CERCA DE TI, NACE EL AMOR #71 Page 1
Notes from the Couch
1. Back in Consuelo's kitchen, Nayeli promises her mother she will follow the doctor's instructions and take care of her baby for what it is, her treasure. As for Hugo, Nayeli says he was a bit put out because she hadn't told him about the baby but he wants to be around and help her. Nayeli doesn't want Hugo around only because of the baby but would like for him to be there because he truly loves her and sees her as his girl and not only the mother of his child. Consuelo hopes he sees her as she does: a good, brave girl with an enormous heart. If it doesn't work out, she always has her and her whole family. Nayeli doesn't know what she would do without her. Consuelo will never let her or her little grand child go.
2. Hugo sits on his motorcycle overlooking the city so very pleased that he is going to be a father. He gets up and screams in joy that he is going to be a father!
3. In tears, Iván explains to Majo why he is leaving. She thought that it was over. He says no. The more time and space he gave to the situation, he only kept falling in love more and more as if what he ever felt for anyone was concentrated in what he felt for her. Yes, she loves him but decided to stay with her husband and her life. He refuses to be an obstacle to her happiness. Majo thinks that brave men who are really in love would do exactly what he is doing in letting her go. He says she has no idea how he needed to hear that. She answers reminding him that is what daughters are there for: letting their fathers know that even though their world might be crashing down around them, they are not alone. He tells her she is the reason for him to stay and also the strength that he needs to go. She asks him to promise her not to use the trip to flee but to heal and that when he comes back, he brings her that happy father back that she knows.
4. Joaquín brings Vero home. They talk about how she did all she could so he wouldn't find out where she lived due to the fact that she had to protect her identity. He explains that now he is in love with both Vero and Consuelo. Consuelo is noble, strong with an immense heart who takes care of everyone without asking for anything. Vero is brave, passionate woman, the mother who never gave up and continued fighting for her daughter against all odds. She was so afraid at that time that he would find out the truth about her and stop loving her. He explains that seeing who she really is only made him love her more. He tells her about his conversation with Meli and how she wanted them to get married and adopt all of them. She says if it were only possible . . . even to be Vale's mother. He reminds her she already is Vale's mother. He says when the time comes, Vale will listen to her, understand her, and forgive her. He doesn't love her in spite of what she has been through, but because of what she has been through. They kiss.

5. Aurelio shows up at Consuelo's. He couldn't sleep and wants to know if they could talk for a bit. She thinks it is better for him to go. Her kids are sleeping. . . He confesses that he doesn't know what to do because he loves her more every day. He kisses her and she pulls away and slaps him. She will not betray her sister because if he were to do that again, she would not be able to stop herself. She shows him to the door. He tells her he cannot stop loving her and leaves. Consuelo cries.
6. Joaquín and Vero end up in bed.
7. The next day, the kids start taking videos of Joaquín and Vero sneaking kisses and hugs around the house.
***THREE MONTHS LATER***
8. It is one of those family meals again but this time it is breakfasts! The usual guests are there plus Hugo. Aurelio is annoying Consuelo taking one final tamal, a sweet one to go along with his atole( hot drink made with Mexican corn meal and flavorings), after already having eaten four already. He wants to know if she is the tamal police or what?? She reminds him they are not good for him in the first place. He tells her that she is the reason his blood pressure rises when he looks into those cute eyes she has. She demures and smiles.
9. Hugo is very solicitous of Nayeli at the table. She smiles and asks if he is going to fan her next. She makes the point that she isn't made out of glass but is high quality ceramic, tough. He, smiling, answers that he knows but but since she is carrying the future moto cross world champion, they cannot risk anything. She says he always knows how to soften her up. He gets serious saying that he still hasn't convinced her to come back to him. She answers that he hasn't yet but advises him not to put the brakes on because there is a chance he is going to win the race. He laughs but she gets serious asking him to promise her that they will never end up like them. She points out Mario and Romina sitting apart and looking miserable.

10. Nico offers to help Vero clear the table to talk to her. He doesn't feel it is fair that Lorena and Claudia cannot come to these meals since she cannot put her secret at risk. They are family. How long is it gong to go on? She says he is right. He also had to win his daughter back but her road is very different. He says the truth will not be supported by a lie. The time has come for her to tell her daughter the truth. It is not good that she is pretending to be another person. Of course, Aurelio has been listening in and demands to know what was meant about her "pretending to be another person" to be near her daughter.
11. Majo tells her mother that she talked to her father and that he is doing well but doesn't know when he is coming back. Majo notices that Olga is looking good, is nervous, and is buying new clothes. She asks her who the guy is making her feel this way. Olga insists she isn't going out with anyone. Majo refuses to believe her.
12. Vero goes into her own house where nosy Aurelio follows her telling her what she is doing is madness. He is upset that Romina has been covering for her, too, and we are back to the same argument with Vero telling him that he tore her daughter from her arms (UH, Why doesn't Vero simply say it is none of his business because it isn't) and deprived her of being a mother. He made that decision. He insists that if the girl knew, she would run away. Vero disagrees. Her daughter will know that her mother never stopped loving her. A frustrated Aurelio tells her that she doesn't get it and leaves in a huff.
13. Vero tells Romina that their father will never change. Romina advises her to stop listening to what he says already (She is right on that one.) She needs to continue on her path because what she is doing sheis doing out of love.
14. Mario is sad and drinking at his desk thinking that Vero is dead. If only she were alive, he would give everything up for her. He cries and repeats "everything."
15. Marcos tells Romina he is surprised that Vero has a child. Why didn't she tell him? Romina answers because it is Vero's business. He tries to pull the "he is her husband" card. She squashes that asking him if he tells her everything. She asks him not to tell anyone and especially not mention anything at work because Vero's daughter is Vale Miranda. She refuses to tell him any more. He insists that she can trust him to keep the secret. That is important to her since they are working to save their marriage.

16. Joaquín is all amorous in the kitchen thinking that he and Vero that are free from the kids. Vero reminds him the kids are on vacation. He says that Meli is keeping their secret and none of the others seem the wiser. She tells him that the family breakfast didn't go very well. It was the same old argument with her father who doesn't want her reunited with her daughter. He tells her that love doesn't need permission. Vale doesn't know it but she has a mother looking out for her every day. He assures that when the time comes, nobody will separate them.
17. Kassandra thinks back on Joaquín and Vero and is in tears. Isaura appears and reminds her it is a great day. Her wedding day! Tonight she will be Mario's wife and they will have a life full of luxuries, champagne and an unlimited checking account. Kassandra wonders if Joaquín will come. Isaura invited him so he could see what he is losing. She hopes he doesn't have the bad taste to bring that Consuelo. Kassandra hopes so, so she can humiliate her in front of everyone. This is the start of her revenge!
18. Vero brings Vale her racing suit that she repaired. She expresses her worry for her on the track. Vale says she has the best trainer in Joaquín. That makes Vero feel better. Vale adds that she has the help of all of the other racers, too, Eleazar. Vero is so happy for her looking more in love each day. Vale has to mention that Vero is smiling a lot more lately. Is there somebody special in her life? Vero manages to change the subject.
19. Vale cannot find her cellphone. She asks Vero to call her. They hear nothing so Vero leaves her phone and goes to check downstairs. Vale finds her phone under a pillow but Vero's phone is ringing. It is "Papá."
20. Kassandra tells Isaura that she recognizes that Mario is the perfect man that any woman would want but he is not Joaquín. Isaura thinks that is silly and asks if she would be able to leave the money, position, security, everything for Joaquín. Kassandra says she would. Nothing is worth it without him. Kassandra says she won't be happy and will make sure Joaquín isn't either. He will lose everything: his company, his reputation, those damn orphans and that stupid Consuelo. She won't rest until he has nothing or nobody.

21. Olga meets Marcos at a park. He says he thought they were not going to see each other. She knows but both of them are there. He is not happy they are so near work. It is dangerous. She knows. He wants to know what this is about. She says she knows he is trying to repair his marriage but no matter how hard she tries, she cannot stop thinking about him. She knows he probably doesn't feel the same and he kisses her.
22.Majo is taking a walk and sees them.
23. Vale answers Vero's phone. (REALLY?) Aurelio says "Daughter". Vero rushes into the room and snatches her phone back. She asks why he called. He asks if that was her daughter. She says no and that she is working and cannot talk. He tells her to tell him where she is and not dare to hang up on him.Vero hangs up on him. (YES!)
24. Vale notices she doesn't get along well with her dad. Vero says her father has always gotten involved in her life and has hurt her a great deal.

Vero says she thinks the love between a mother and a daughter can never be broken by time or distance although they are not together. Vale says that is not always as in the case of her birth who does not deserve to be remembered. Her only mother was Susana and she was the best mother in the whole world. She will hate her birth mother until the day she dies.

Jarifa, your extraordinary level of detail brings such vividness and light, illuminating so much that would have been otherwise missed.
"Mario is sad and drinking at his desk thinking that Vero is dead. If only she were alive, he would give everything up for her. He cries and repeats "everything." I am on the edge of my seat waiting for their inevitable meeting. Could anything possibly make Kassandra even more miserable than losing Joaquin to Vero??? The revelation her soon to be husband was also madly in love with Vero might do the trick!
I like that Hugo is happy about becoming a father and is working to show Nayeli he is worthy.
"She asks him to promise her not to use the trip to flee but to heal and that when he comes back, he brings her that happy father back that she knows". Majo is wise beyond her years. Kind enough to comfort and support her mewling father yet strong enough to confront Olga asking of "all the men in the world, why did she settle on the husband of a friend?" Indeed, she seems to be the parent, they, the child. BTW, how immature (and nasty) of Olga to draw any comparison between Majo and Claudia's situation to that of her and Romina. Grow up.
Romina and Marcos did look miserable though, didn't they?
Of all times for the usually crafty and clever writers to let viewerville down, did they really need to choose Vero and Joaquin's first night together?? A few perfunctory kisses (with ONE candle) do not a romance make. I expected fireworks, not one lone sparkler.
Even if Aurelio were a good man, I still say getting together with your deceased sister's hubby is not a good idea. It's clear where this is going but I don't have to like it and I don't. ☹
Vero "doesn't know how much longer her lie can go on". We don't know either and are totally flummoxed.
So, boda or no boda?? We won't have long to wait...
Jarifa, this was absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

Tan cerca,
Jarifa, thank you for that excellent review of all the moments . I could just echo everything that Diana beautifully wrote. Diana, i always love to read your eloquent comments. Jarifa, We are so lucky to have your wellwritten recaps as we watch the story roll towards the end .
I noticed that the introduction shots keep changing . Now there is a photo of Olga and Marcos together . How are the writers going to resolve this messy mess???

TIERRA DE AMOR Y CORAJE
Susan, I watched the first episode. It looks like it has possibilities but the male leads are not my favorites so I will not be continuing. I loved the start with the rattle snake attack. That was slick. I knew the Emmanuel Palomares character “Juan” had to be alive because why else would he be one of the headliners? It was good to see Paty Navidad. I haven’t seen her in ages.

I will be continuing to watch this one. It looks great so far. I am hoping that some kind person will recap some of this

Yay! Bigger comment boxes are back.
Diana, I have to agree with Susan about your "beautifully" written and "eloquent" comments. You are a very gifted writer.
"Of all times for the usually crafty and clever writers to let viewerville down, did they really need to choose Vero and Joaquin's first night together?? A few perfunctory kisses (with ONE candle) do not a romance make. I expected fireworks, not one lone sparkler.Perfection! I am still laughing from that one. And the leads have chemistry! Go figure!
"Romina and Marcos did look miserable though, didn't they?" Oh, yeah. So how long does one try to fix a marriage? We had a three month time jump and tehy looks worse than ever together. . With him and Olga out there in the open, hopefully Romina will find out the truth soon and kick him to the curb. .
" It's clear where this is going but I don't have to like it and I don't. ☹" No, you don't!!! : )
Susan, "I noticed that the introduction shots keep changing . Now there is a photo of Olga and Marcos together . How are the writers going to resolve this messy mess???" Oh, no! Run, Romina, run!! I didn't notice the introduction shots. Thanks, I am going to have to take a look. "Tonight's episode will be powder keg." Yes, it will be must see tv!

Thanks so much, Jarifa, for the excellent recap last night, and also Sunday’s recap, which I was very late in reading.
It looks like Marcus and Olga are going to be a couple. I actually liked him more than I like Ivan. But somehow kissing another woman does not win points with me. I didn’t like Ivan because he was a slacker, and liked him even less when he kept going after Romina when he knew she was married. Now Olga is doing the same thing. I’m hoping Romina refuses both of them but it seems these telenovelas always pair their characters up.
I’m glad Hugo is so excited about the baby. I’m sure he and Nayeli will be together in the end.
I was surprised Mario would give it all up if only he had Vero. I wonder how he’ll react when he finds out Vero is alive but with Joaquin! It could love her so much he’ll just be happy she’s alive and happy or it could go worse for Vero and Joaquin. I do feel like when Kassandra’s attempt to embarrass Consuelo, as she has promised to do, Mario will not be pleased with Kassandra!
All the episodes have been great but I think tonight will be greater!

I fell asleep on the couch shortly into this. I never saw a snake! But woke up to two cars trying to push the mother and father off the road. Then a guy named Facundo blew the car up! What are the odds.
I had seen the actress playing the mother before, I don’t remember what show, but I liked her. I’m not sure if I’ll watch it or not.

I think that both Vero and Joachim were too exhausted to go for a big , romantic first night, but at least he did the deed after avoiding it since the very start with Kass.....so . ...
The writers are certainly toying with us about R, M, I, and O...I can't even type those four names,anymore They should all go away and find new interests..
I think most of the younguns are set for HEAs. Hugo is so excited about being a young dad ...that was a,surprise.
Tonight should be interesting . Susan

Liz, "I’m hoping Romina refuses both of them but it seems these telenovelas always pair their characters up." Me, too, but you are right with everyone needing a partner at the end. I, too, cannot wait to see what Mario's reaction will be when he finally runs into Vero. He is making her sound like the love of his life.

Jarifa, I enjoyed your recap down to the last drop. Gracias.
Vero has been my favorite, but now I am just ticked with her for remaining mum and having the same old argument with her pop. I liked Padre Nico scolding her because he wasn't able to bring his own daughter and girlfriend to the family breakfast because of her secret.
"I expected fireworks. not one lone sparkler." Diana, lol!!!
Mario, why didn't you contact Vero back when she turned legal age?
Hugo looking up at the stars with joy was wonderful. He'll no doubt be a good dad.
I know Mario's plan is to take over and kick Joaquin out. But we still don't know why he hates Joaquin. Or maybe he didn't hate Joaquin himself and was only using Facundo's hate?

Thank you for your kind words Susan and Jarifa.
"With him and Olga out there in the open, hopefully Romina will find out the truth soon and kick him to the curb!" I hope so too Jarifa!! Olga got a taste of something she likes and is throwing caution to the wind. She is rather obsessed.
Liz, I like Marcos much more than Ivan too.
Susan, thank you for noting the intro has changed. You have such a sharp eye for details. I'll be taking a closer look!

Add me to the list of folks who prefer Marcos to Ivan. Yes, Ivan is a slacker living off his brother and is obsessed with a married woman . I am so tired of him .
However, I don't like Marcos kissing Olga. Susan

TAN CERCA DE TI, NACE EL AMOR #72 Page 1
Notes from the Couch
1. Majo makes it clear to her mother that when she started to go out with Diego, he had already broken up with Claudia. Romina and Marcos are MARRIED. Olga says she knows but passion is like a wave that drags you and leaves you without direction, without a compass, without anything. Majo thinks that is very poetic but also unjust when her father had to leave because . . . Olga doesn't want to talk about her father. Olga says that Marcos feels terrible, very bad and guilty Majo say guilt does nothing. They cannot keep lying to each other or Romina. Majo tells her mother she either has to break up with Marcos or tell Romina the truth.
2. Vale and Eleazar race.
3. Olga goes to talk to Marcos in his office. He is not happy because he asked her not to come looking for him at the shop. She tells him that Majo knows about them. She saw them in the park kissing. He is out of his mind. If Romina finds out, he will kill himself. She assures him that Majo would never tell Romina. Olga has to admit that Majo did have a point. They cannot do this to Romina and especially right under her nose. Marcos tells Olga he has to go and tell Romina the truth. Olga is impressed that he is going to do this for her. Her smile quickly disappears when he tells her not to get the wrong idea. He wants to repair his marriage. He shows her the door and tells her to leave because it is over.
4. We see the thief in the office but only from the knees down. They are wearing rather new looking jeans and nice clean tennis shoes. The person is clearly an employee and is wearing a white shirt, a navy hoodie and a lanyard. It looks like a male. This person goes into the employee lounge looking preoccupied with his phone and also is carrying a company folder. He sees a wallet on the table. He places the folder over it and lifts them both up together as he leaves then sliding the wallet into his back pocket.
5. Mario is reminding Joaquín that his wedding is tonight and he hopes he can count on him being there. Joaquín assures him that he will be there to celebrate with them. Mario was't sure due to his history with Kassandra. Joaquín says that is a thing of the past. He sincerely wishes them both the best from the bottom of his heart.

6. Mario wants to talk about the next race. He has seen the list of sponsors and a preliminary list of racers. Joaquín wanted to talk to him about that. His god daughter Vale, who will be 18 in a couple of weeks, has been training really hard and her times rival Hugo's and Eleazar's. Mario has been following her and agrees she is very talented but Mario but isn't time for them to take a risk with a rookie. Joaquín tells him not to underestimate her. Mario says he isn't. It is only a matter of strategy. If she fails to take a curve, they will be losing more than a race. He insists that for now they will be sticking with Hugo and Eleazar. Vale will wait her turn. Joaquín wants to keep the argument going saying they run the same risk with any of their racers. Mario chuckles and says they will talk about it later. After Mario leaves, Joaquín looks at Vale's photo telling it her time is coming soon.
7. Vale thanks Eleazar for being a good racer and challenging her all the way. He is happy. She soon will be even with him and will show him in their next race. They horse around and kiss.
8. Vale goes to see Nayeli. She wants her to do her hair and makeup for an event that night. She has to go as Consuelo but wants to looks spectacular. She is going as Joaquín's date to Kassandra's wedding. Vale says the kids know about her and Joaquín and took it vey well. Nayeli asks about telling Vale she is her mother. Vero gets nervous and tells her not to go there. Nayeli will concentrate on making her look like one of those who makes everyone's head turn. Vero warns her nothing exaggerated, please. She doesn't want to be like a clown or "in style" but classic, natural, pretty. Nayeli says she will look like queen of the ball.
9. Kassandra is preparing for her wedding at the same time.
10. Mario is waiting for his bride at the altar. Kassandra is escorted by Isaura down the aisle. Kassandra notices that Joaquín is not there. Mario and Kassandra take their vows, exchange rings and are married. Mario kisses the bride and everyone cheers.
11. Aurelio is having a good time eating supper at Consuelo's. She is happy. She invited him over to eat because she didn't want to eat alone. She thanks him for coming. He hopes they are happy at the wedding. She says all weddings are happy. Being the wet rag he is, he has to say that his wedding was not the happiest day of his life. Consuelo's smile is gone. She remembers it as if it were yesterday: Beatriz so radiant in her white dress. She looked like an angel and made her cry because she saw her sister with him. She apologizes. He says no need. If she was crying, he was, too, on the inside.

If she was crying, he was, too, on the inside.
12. Vero and Joaquín arrive late after the wedding because they had to go out and buy her a new dress. He thinks it was worth it. They turn to greet Kassandra and Mario as they exit down the aisle and Vero and Mario stare at each other. Vero looks away as Joaquín apologizes for getting there late. He congratulates Mario and gives him a hug. Vero mutters something to herself about it being him. Joaquín introduces Mario to Consuelo the love of his life. Mario asks "Consuelo"? Vero says yes, and congratulates both of them.
13. Nico has stayed behind in the church. Lorena goes to get him. She asks if he misses all of this. He doesn't know. She says it isn't a bad thing to admit it. He was very happy serving God. He was but he is very happy with her, too. Claudia comes to get them and they all leave for the reception as he says his place is with them but wistfully looks back at the altar.
14. Olga approaches Mario at the reception only to talk to him a bit. He doesn't want to and no he hasn't told Romina. He tells her all she needs to know is that it is over between them FOREVER.
15. Consuelo asks Aurelio not to say that. He has to say it because it is true. He cared for Beatriz until her dying breath but there are loves you don't chose. He kisses her hand. His love is more alive for her than ever. He didn't t tell her so as not to disrespect Beatriz. Still not having learned his lesson, he goes to kiss Consuelo. She reminds him that he promised that this wasn't going to happen again. They cannot do this. He says she is right they "shouldn't." They both laugh. He tells her that if life were fair, she would have been the one who left the church with him.
16. Romina notices that Marcos is in a serious mood and wants to know what is going on. He says it is all in her head. She disagrees. He admits that he isn't doing well but this is not the time or the place to talk about it. She is upset because before they told each other everything and now they tip toe around each other. She grabs his hand and says during the ceremony she was remembering their wedding and how in love they were and the promises they made each other She knows she made the right decision. She wants to fight for their marriage. Still as serious as ever, he nods.
17. Claudia catches her favorite ex at the wedding to have a chat with. He is still her Diego Baby and looking very handsome. He tells her she looks very beautiful as always. Majo is watching them looking aggravated. Claudia says she is in fact doing really well. She points out her parents sitting together. She never thought she would see them like that together. She always dreamed of having a complete family and now she does. He tells her that she deserves it. After all that happened, she deserves all the happiness in the world. She is so excited having her father close by and hearing him call her daughter. She still cannot believe it. They hug. He notices Majo's gaze and looks uncomfortable.( as he should)

18. Romina still can get no information out of Marcos. He says she is the woman he loves, wants to grow old with and spend with his whole life. She doesn't know what kind of problem he has but they will solve it together. He denies having a problem. She asks what about what he just told her. He tells her to forget about it. It has nothing to do with them. It's work. His new job has a lot of responsibility and pressure. She says Joaquín must be very happy with the job he is doing. His mechanics respect him and hold him in esteem. He agrees they are a good team. Joaquín and Vero appear and she reminds Mario that Vero is "Consuelo." He is surprised to see her with Joaquín. Romina says things have changed. They fell in love and have been together for only a little while. Romina tells him that Joaquín knows the whole truth about Vero.
19. The two couples greet each other and Vero asks her sister to go to the bathroom with her for a few seconds.
20. Diego tells Majo that he doesn't want her to lose her mind over Claudia since she was only telling him . . . Majo cuts him off. She could say a bunch of things about him and Claudia but she chooses not to because she doesn't want to fight. She knows he doesn't like Hernán and she doesn't like Claudia at all. She doesn't like how she talks to him, looks at him, or hugs him. She simply doesn't like what she does. Diego explains that she Claudia was **only** telling him how happy she is being close to her dad. Majo has heard enough. Today it is about her father, tomorrow about a fight with her mother, and the day after tomorrow it will be something with Vale. !!!She always has an excuse to get his attention!!! Doesn't he realize it? Diego is quick to remind her about Hernán doing the same thing. Majo tells him that what they have isn't going to work like this. He agrees.
21. In the bathroom, Vero tells Romina that Mario Nolivos is Vale's biological father. Romina is shocked. Vero says she hasn't heard from him in 18 years. Vero is sure that he recognized her. Joaquín introduced her as Consuelo and she could see the confusion and bewilderment on Mario's face. She says he doesn't know she has a child. He left the country and she never heard from him again. Their parents hid her and only Consuelo knew, nobody else. NO, Vero will not tell him the truth. Romina accuses her of being just like their father hiding things. Also, he is Vale's father and has every right to know the truth. Vero refuses because she will not take the risk of losing Vale forever. Vale cannot know about him without knowing who she is first. The sisters hug.
22. The happy couple enter the banquet room. Passing by, Mario stares at Vero. She looks down and Joaquín seems to notice.
18. Romina still can get no information out of Marcos. He says she is the woman he loves, wants to grow old with and spend with his whole life. She doesn't know what kind of problem he has but they will solve it together. He denies having a problem. She asks what about what he just told her. He tells her to forget about it.

19. The two couples greet each other and Vero asks her sister to go to the bathroom with her for a few seconds.
20. Diego tells Majo that he doesn't want her to lose her mind over Claudia since she was only telling him . . . Majo cuts him off. She could say a bunch of things about him and Claudia but she chooses not to because she doesn't want to fight. She knows he doesn't like Hernán and she doesn't like Claudia at all. She doesn't like how she talks to him, looks at him, or hugs him. She simply doesn't like what she does. Diego explains that she Claudia was **only** telling him how happy she is being close to her dad. Majo has heard enough. Today it is about her father, tomorrow about a fight with her mother, and the day after tomorrow it will be something with Vale. !!!She always has an excuse to get his attention!!! Doesn't he realize it? Diego is quick to remind her about Hernán doing the same thing. Majo tells him that what they have isn't going to work like this. He agrees.
21. In the bathroom, Vero tells Romina that Mario Nolivos is Vale's biological father. Romina is shocked. Vero says she hasn't heard from him in 18 years. Vero is sure that he recognized her. Joaquín introduced her as Consuelo and she could see the confusion and bewilderment on Mario's face. She says he doesn't know she has a child. He left the country and she never heard from him again. Their parents hid her and only Consuelo knew, nobody else. NO, Vero will not tell him the truth. Romina accuses her of being just like their father hiding things. Also, he is Vale's father and has every right to know the truth. Vero refuses because she will not take the risk of losing Vale forever. Vale cannot know about him without knowing who she is first. The sisters hug.
22. The happy couple enter the banquet room. Passing by, Mario stares at Vero. She looks down and Joaquín seems to notice.

23. Mario addresses the guests and thanks them all for coming. He talks about people that you think are lost are sometimes put in front of you by capricious destiny again and how that sometimes changes everything. Vero looks like a deer in the headlights knowing that comment is for her. He continues saying but tonight is a night of love and of beginnings. He asks them all to toast to life and everything they have yet to discover.
24. Mario confers with his henchman Sanabria. He tells him that the wedding was a serious mistake. The woman with Joaquín says her name is Consuelo but her real name is Verónica Arellano. He wants Sanabria to find out everything he can about her.
25. Mario returns to the podium as Kassandra calls out to him. Kasandra wants to address everyone, too. They are not only celebrating love but being able to share it with such special people. For example, Joaquín Navarro, her great friend and co-worker of so many years who has come tonight accompanied by a marvelous woman, the adorable Consuelo. Hers is a beautiful story. It is a lovely example of how love can emerge from the most unexpected circumstances and places including between a boss and his domestic help. Everyone is uncomfortable including Mario. Joaquín faces the insult head on by telling her she is completely correct. Love cares not about classes or jobs. He deeply loves this great woman. He kisses Vero on the forehead. Kassandra keeps going saying for that reason, she is toasting to love without hierarchies!
26. Vero goes outside to compose herself. Mario follows her out. He says he never thought he would ever see her again. She doesn't know what to tell him. He would like to know why everyone thinks she is Consuelo and is a domestic worker. She tells him that she owes him no explanations. Eighteen years have gone by. He says that time and distance mean nothing. He never forgot her. He tells her how beautiful she is with that look and that voice. She cannot believe him. He just got married. She tells him to go back to his wife who must be looking for him. He agrees he is married but if he would have known he was going to find her again, he never would have married Kassandra. Her father told him she had died and was buried next to her mother.
27.Vale didn't like Kassandra's nasty comments about Vero. Eleazar says she doesn't have to worry. He is sure Vero can handle it. She is a strong woman. It is as if she has been through it all but is still standing. Vale sometimes thinks there is something behind that strength. It is as if she keeps her pain there, and a story that hasn't been finished yet. He reminds her that Joaquín defended her like nothing and that she is like family to her and her siblings. Vale says Vero looks sad. Eleazar thinks she is the perfect person to let her know that she is not alone.

The Setup: Good Rancher vs. Bad Rancher
Bad Rancher has a Trophy wife, a Snarly Capataz, a Saucy Daughter, and a Tame Geologist.
Good Rancher has a Sweet Wife, a Loyal Maid, and three sons: Hothead, Earring, and Student. Loyal Maid has a Daughter with Braids who's hot for Earring.
The ranches border each other. Both ranchers have money problems. The bad cows keep going through the fence to get to the water before the good cows.
Saucy Daughter has just returned from 8 years(!) away at college in Dallas to take over Daddy's ranch.
Bad Rancher thinks he can find lithium on his land.
Snarly Capataz has taken it upon himself to instigate two bingo squares: car accident and fire (not in fireplace.)
Stay tuned.

28. Kassandra brings to champagne to Joaquín to toast. He wants to know what she was up to with her comments. Make him feel bad? Hurt "Consuelo" She wants him to know if he goes out with a woman like Consuelo, he better get used to comments like that and more. In their circles, it isn't looked well upon that a man like him would go out with a woman like her. He tells her not to worry. He is not going to give in to prejudice but will continue admiring the woman he loves. He tells her to enjoy her party, hands her his untouched glass and leaves.
29. Vale has left Eleazar alone at the table and handsy Rebeca stops by to catch up and put the moves on him. She likes Kassandra a lot but the important thing is that her dad likes her. She asks how he is doing as she plays with his lapel. He says he is doing fine and is focusing on his career. Vale has been a great support. She thinks Vale must be super strong and very much in love with him. She is surprised that the fact that his father killed Vale's parents, didn't break them up. He says their love is as strong as ever. She hopes it continues because there are things that you cannot erase and that end up influencing your entire life.
30. Vale tells Mario she has no idea why her father said she was dead. Maybe he didn't want Mario looking for her. He agrees saying that Aurelio never had the best impression of him. She responds saying that his parents didn't have the best impression of her either. Mario makes a point it was all of them who separated them. How did she end up as a domestic worker? She had dreams and ambitions. She says she still does and makes it clear that her job is as respectable as any other. She sees that he has done well for himself. She congratulates him. He says he is successful but that doesn't mean he is happy.He became a widow many years ago and has a daughter. Rebeca. Vero says he juts got married. He says to Vero not to ask him if he married Kassandra for love because tonight he realized that he doesn't know what love is without her. Vero tells him not to say that. He changes the subject back to her. What else did she do all of those years? He asks if she has children. Is she a mother? Before she has to lie, Vale appears and the conversation is over

Wow! It seems like the villains were popping out all over.
Aurelio got on my last nerve along with Olga, Marcos, Kassandra, Rebeca and Mario. Who did I miss? 🤔

Jarifa, under your powerful lens, tonight's emotions wildly ranging from one end of the spectrum to the other including shock, awe, disbelief, love, hate and jealousy were magnified and brought brilliantly to life.
"He tells him that the wedding was a serious mistake". The vows barely uttered as regret already permeates the air as the overly confident bride, set on demeaning Vero as she "elevates" herself, unaware her marriage is already over before it began. The object of her derision has ascended into her husband's mind and heart, vanquishing any and all feelings for Kassandra. Poetic justice.
(Mario) ..."talks about people that you think are lost are sometimes put in front of you by capricious destiny again and how that sometimes changes everything". What an unexpected blow out of the blue for Vero. Now there is another deep hidden secret ready to bubble to the surface. Will she reveal the truth? "Vero refuses because she will not take the risk of losing Vale forever. Vale cannot know about him without knowing who she is first". Vero's stubborn (and unfathomable) continuing refusal to tell Vale who she is will make this second revelation even more painful for her daughter.
"Vale tells Mario she has no idea why her father said she was dead". Of course she does. Aurelio is cruel, has a heart of stone and doesn't deserve the wonderful children he has.
Marcos seems to rue not keeping his lips to himself. A little late, isn't it? A petulant Olga is not taking his rejection well. Romina continues to look miserable although to her credit, she is making every effort to revive her (already DOA) marriage.
"Claudia catches her favorite ex at the wedding to have a chat with. He is still her Diego Baby and looking very handsome". Give Claudia credit, she knows exactly what to say and do to get under Majo's skin. I had to laugh at Diego who was so obviously caught between a rock and a hard place.
I do like Vale and Eleazar's growing closer; their love true and steadfast.
Jarifa, I have no tolerance for Aurelio and agree with the rest of the annoying characters you noted. Loved "handsy Rebeca" which was perfect. So many bad vibrations emanating from a wedding for heaven's sake which SHOULD have been joyous with happiness abounding.
This was excellent Jarifa. I savored every single word. Thank you.
