CUIDADO CON EL ANGEL CAP 109

I would suffer through this to be with the woman I love intensely.

But is that fair to do it for Blanca? She only inspires in me kindness and compassion.

Why not speak clearly with her, for god's sake? Why not tell him that I am willing to help?

But I need my freedom to rebuild my life with Marichuy!

Who could it be this late?
They must be in a rush with all that honking.

-Ok, let me go get it.
-Wait, no, don't open.

What if it's a thief?

Well, I'll at least gonna check, be right back.

Alright, but if it's a thief don't open.

Wait, no!

Who goes there?

It's Omar. Marichuy, please let me in!

Omar? What happened? What's the matter?

I couldn't... I couldn't, Marichuy...

I couldn't stand not seeing you for so long.

This late at night?

I'm sorry. I know this is crazy, but I had to come here or at any time, really.

I had to look at you, hear your voice, convince myself that you exist, that someone like you lives in this world.

I can't be that cruel... She completely trusts me.

Blanca does what she does because she is sick.

And I haven't done anything to cure her,
Blanca killed because of me!

She clings to me as her last hope,
and I cannot leave her behind!

I can't let her sink in.

Juan Miguel! Blanca, or Ivette, just came back!

Marichuy!? What happened? Oh, it's Mr. Leopardo!

Yes, yes Cande. Take the kid, don't worry, nothing's wrong.

Excuse me, gonna take care of the baby.

What's the matter with you, Omar?

Answer me this, Marichuy.

Can you forgive me?
Will you forget about what happened the other day?

If I tell you that I am truly sorry, and that it's a burden on my soul having acted the way I did,

Will you forgive me, Marichuy? Can you?

I saw her from the foyer's window,
she slipped by like a shadow.

She crossed the garden towards her room and went in.

What are you gonna do, Juan Miguel?

We wait for a bit, then after ten or fifteen minutes,
we knock on her door.

Then you tell Blanca, because it's gonna be Blanca who is going to answer

if she could come to my study for a moment.

-What if she asks what do you need from her?
-Just tell her to come here.

-Ok, 15 minutes, right?
-Yes.

Oh Marichuy. If only you were by my side.

I beg you to forgive me, Marichuy.

Ok, you're forgiven. Forget about what happened.

More like nothing happened, and really, I was just so angry

that I said you hit me on purpose,

but I know you didn't mean to do it.

Thank you. God bless you!

-So why are you like this?
-Her, Marichuy. It's her.

-Who?
-Ivette is back. Ivette came back!

She keeps finding me, wherever I might be!

That evil woman is back to turn my life into hell, to destroy me!

What's wrong, honey? Can't sleep?

No, Patricio. I can't sleep, I'm still so excited!

I still don't get it. Did you finally make peace with Marichuy?

No... Even if you find it strange, my daughter hasn't forgiven me.

Alright, explain that to me... You said she allowed you

to hold her baby in your arms and that you kissed him.

Yes, that's how it went. I begged her to let me hold him and she accepted,

but she gave him to me with a somber expression, and then she locked herself up in her room.

Why are you so sad? You were beaming not a second ago.

Yes, it's true, it's hard to explain, but the truth is

even though I'm happy I'm also really worried.

And why is that? I still don't get it.

I'm worried about Marichuy. If only you had seen her face,

when she arrived at her house after the baptism.

You could see that something really hurt her badly, my daughter

she's suffering, Patricio! I don't know why, and I can't do anything about it,

even though I am her mother!

Come here...

Come, Blanca, please take a seat.

Rocío told me to come, what's the matter?

Where were you a moment ago?

I don't know how to get away, Marichuy! She stalks me, she suddendly appears

when I least expect it. At first,
I thought that I was seeing things.

That it was just a ghost from my past,
and I still can't explain how

I saw Ivette in places where she couldn't possible be.

I think if this keeps up, I'm going crazy!

You're very on edge, calm down, take a chill pill, will ya?

Do you think I planned on coming here tonight?

No, Marichuy. I came here on a whim, because I'm overcome with desperation!

Because you're the only one who can save me!

Wait, wait, Omar! I'm sure it's enough with rejecting here!

Just tell her to take a hike, and that's that!

Why don't you want to tell me where you were?

I told you, I was in my room, sitting on my bed.

When Rocío knocked on my door, she asked me to come see you.

Yes, but before that you weren't in your room.

I don't know, I don't understand Juan Miguel...

I happened again. Ivette possessed you again.

Did it happen again after you came back, Blanca?

Blanca? Where were you? Who was with you?

Do you still feel like the butterflies are fluttering in your stomach, because of her?

No, no, no! How could I love a devil like her? It's just...

A man's passion! Something that makes me feel disgusted inside of me.

Something that makes me feel dumb and miserable, but which I cannot escape from.

Ivette came back to destroy me! Marichuy,
You saved me once.

Save me again, or Ivette will tear me apart.
Only you can do this!

Only you can save me. Will you do it?

Blanca, Rocío said that you told her you were afraid of something.

I told you that you should have locked the door to the garden in such a way that I couldn't get out!

Yes, but you didn't tell me what happened.

It's just that I wasn't sure, myself. I was so embarrassed...

I know what you're thinking about me...

Don't cry. Don't cry, Blanca.

And you're right. if you don't know where you go at night.

Who you go out with, or what you do..

It's not your fault, it's not you who is doing that.

-Blanca...
-Oh my god, Juan Miguel! Cure me!

Cure me soon! If you don't, I don't know what'll happen to me, to us...

You're not answering, you've gone silent...

-What can I tell you, Omar?
-Anything would be better than silence.

I can't think of anything to say.

If you want to tell me that I need to go, that you won't forgive me for what I did the other day...

Taking the child away so you would follow...

That I am a vandal savage that deserves nothing,

and that I hit you in the face, even unintentionally,

took away any chances I had with you,

I know you lost your nerve and you started raving like a madman.

And then you wanted to take me with you by force,

taking the baby was the dumbest thing I could do.

But can I be sure that you won't do that ever again?

No... I swear I'll never do that, Marichuy.

Sometimes people do stupid things without thinking it, because they're furious

Then you do something you shouldn't and don't want to do, just so you know how things are

you wanted to take my boy by force so I would follow you, right?

Juan Miguel just wants to take my baby away and keep him!

He can't.

Yes he can, Omar! The registry already recognized him as his legitimate son,

my son bears the San Roman surname and I can't do anything about it.

Look, everyone was at Marichuy's house, she was held up for a bit,

and when she arrived, I could see she was shook up.

Like she had been crying, bearing a load on her shoulders,

I dared ask to hold the baby, and then

She wasn't so sure, but then, she just nodded,

gave him to me, and then she went to her room.

I don't see what's so tragic about that, maybe she wasn't in the mood to be around people.

No, no, no, after the baptism of her son? Please Patricio, I can't believe that's it.

And also, she didn't leave her room until after I left.

And by the way Patricio, that baby is just precious!

They named him Juan Miguel, just like his dad.

Well, everything you say is nice and all, except that she locked herself in her room.

I can tell our daughter is suffering, Patricio! I'm sure of it!

And our hands are tied on giving her any type of help,

she would refuse to accept anything from us, and that's the worst part!

We have to give her time to let you get closer to her.

Maybe you could do it, what I think is that Marichuy and Juan Miguel splitting up

could have been a factor, and maybe that's why she's unhappy, don't you think?

You're right.

You know Elsa? I was thinking, what does it matter living thousands, millions of years in such a big world

so inmense, without any kind of feelings, it's better to be a small, ephemeral thing, such as a man is,

and being able to love, don't you agree?

Yes.

Do you remember? We were talking, somebody asked what love was, and...

I told a fable, in the spring a mockingbird sits on a cherry tree, and the mockingbird tells the cherry tree:

"Open up your blossoms, bloom with me!"

The cherry tree responds:
"Open your wings and fly with me!"

So the cherry tree bloomed, and the mocking bird openned his wings and flew, taking the cherry tree.

That is love, and bringing me here tonight is love,

true love, do you hear? It'll be dawning soon.

The birds are waking up, and the sky is taking on a pink color.

Just like the beautiful dawn, the day brakes, one more day, a day goes by, the end.

Nelson, Nelson, Nelson...

-Well?
-Beatriz, I called because... Because...

I figured, we'll catch up to you soon. Where are you?

Tell my parents to come prepared, Nelson just died.

Nelsooooon! Nelsoooon...!

Yes, who goes there?

It's Balbina, sir, I have a message for you.

Come on in, Balbina. It's open.

What? What is it?

Sir, it's from your cousin's house, Mrs. Elsa. They wanted you to know that her husband Nelson just died.

I was afraid that would be it. Balbina, tell Rocío to get ready to go to my uncle's house.

When did that happen, Beatiz? Poor guy, man... Thank you for telling us, huh?

Later.

Nelson... died, almost at dawn.

que dios lo tenga en su gloria

I remember that he was a good writer, and he focused on writing poems.

Too bad he tasted everything that would do him no good.

Well, but... You look like you haven't slept at all, right?

You're right, not at all. At all.

Heh, dawn caught us talking.

Ah, then I'm going to make breakfast,

something warm will do your body good.

I'm sorry about what happened to Nelson.

He was a good friend since a long time ago, I think that I'll say good bye, even if he can't see it,

and grieve with Elsa.

I'll go with you.

...And please, give that dog a bath, I can smell him from here!

Yes grandma. It's just that you must not give dogs baths so often because soap could hurt their skin!

That's what the vet said, when we got him his shots.

We give him a bath once or twice a month, tops.

Eugh!

Hey, please don't call him "that dog," that's not nice.
His name is Friender!

Ay, "Friender."

Mrs. Onelia, we just got word that Mrs. Elsa's husband has passed away.

Did you tell Mr. Juan Miguel yet?

I just did, I'll go get Ms. Rocío, they're going to go visit the family.

He told me that you can come along, if you'd like.

Did you say the husband of my aunt Elsa, Balbina?

Yes, dear.

Then Nelson is in heaven, just like my mommy?

Yes, Mayita... Just like your mommy.

That's alright, Balbina. You can tell Juan Miguel that I'll go with him and Rocío.

Yes ma'am

Come here, dear.

Why don't you lay down for a while?

No, mom. Later.

You must rest, even in these trying times...

I want to stay with Nelson, to the last minute...

You look very tired, you know? Please, dear.

I'll be fine, there isn't much of anything left.

He looks like he's sleeping, right? He's almost smiling.

He's probably looking at the dawn.

Father Anselmo went looking to tell me to follow him,

He was saying that the missus didn't want to be taken to grieve somewhere else.

She kept saying her husband wouldn't have liked that.

I think you did well, mother.

Poor man, he didn't want to die.

Look who's here.

It's Marichuy!

Who is that man coming with her?

Maybe her new lover?

I think I've seen his face somewhere before...

And where would you have met him, mom?

I know! I found him at church once, he was talking with father Anselmo

but they weren't talking about Marichuy, but about a Lirio.

-Lirio?
-Lirio

Hello there, come on in, welcome!

-So sorry.
-Come on in.

-Thank you.
-Go ahead.

Elsa, I'm glad I came to see him, I almost feel like I really did say goodbye to him.

And he's smiling, I'm happy.

I'll be with you.

-Thanks.
-I'm very sorry for your loss.

This is doctor Omar Contreras, owner of the ranch where I was hiding, where I told you.

-A pleasure.
-All mine.

I didn't know Nelson's condition was that bad, I would have liked to see him before...

Marichuy, Nelson didn't want grieving on his death.

Excuse us, we're gonna take a seat.

-How is it?
-I'm very sorry.

Come in, please...

Grandma, my aunt Elsa, my daddy's cousin, doesn't have her husband anymore.

Because he died last night, I think that's why they didn't send me to school.

Everyone went to see my family, and they must be so sad!

Who?

Well, my daddy, Rocío and grand ma Onelia.

So good of them to accompany Elsa, she must feel really lonely.

Death is sad, but it's a fact of life, we're all born and we will alll die one day.

I don't like it when people die, and most of all when it's someone I love like my mom.

I understand, but it's necessary to accept that we all have line drawn on us that we can't see.

It's the end of our lives, some people die sooner than old people, like me! Hahaha!

But everyone has to go through it, no exceptions.

Do you think Nelson went to heaven? Because I heard someone told me he had been bad!

Of course! Do you think he went somewhere else?

I don't know, the angels are gonna be there to keep him happy like my mom, right?

Most certaintly, little queenie! And he will like eternally, like everyone else.

It's just, I heard there's a hell, and people who do bad things go there.

How scary, don't you think gran-gran Marianita?

Think about it, the devil with his long tail and pitchfork, I think he pricks you.

And all the fire that must be there!

-Good day.
-And good day to you.

Come with me, Marichuy.

It was an unpleasant meeting for you, right?

It's just that I didn't realize that Juan Miguel would come, since Elsa is his cousin.

But what I didn't expect was that he would bring Blanca.

I think Juan Miguel should have come alone, too.

What does Mayita's nanny have to do with them?

Blanca is Juan Miguel's fiancée, they're getting married.

You don't know my friends either, and you're here, eh?

You came with me.

You're my fiancée too, and we're getting married.

She is my fiancée.

Blanca Silva.

-Nice to meet you.
-A pleasure!

The pleasure is all mine.

From what I gathered, your husband's illness was terminal.

Honey, you have to learn about resignation.
He's resting now.

Yes Onelia, I think it was better that it had to be like this, thank you for coming.

Where's Eduardo?

He's working on two very complicated cases at the hospital.

He hasn't been able to leave, but we've spoken with him on the telephone.

I think I heard from Eduardo himself that you were engaged,

not so long ago,

When are you getting married?

We're gonna get married too, right Marichuy?

Maybe, Omar...

Couldn't you turn it into a yes?

Well, I think so.

Do you mean to tell me that you want us to get married?

Yeah, Omar.

Marichuy!

Shut up...

We don't have an exact date yet

Maybe we won't get married.

Of course we will! It's decided, and we'll settle on the day on this weekend.

No later than that, we'll set it, too.

It's just that this isn't the time or place to be talking about this kind of thing.

On the contrary, Juan Miguel! We're talking about a wedding, joy and happiness!

That's what Nelson wanted on the day he died,
joy and happiness!

We thought you would be devasted, I found out about what you taking Nelson to the field,

staying with him until his last breath.

That's what fills me with tranquility, cousin. And knowing that he is finally at peace.

Before he died, he had time to welcome God, father Anselmo saved his soul!

His had a calm expression, he left smiling, at peace, next to me in a field, just like he wanted.

It might have been a test of faith, which God granted.

He wanted to die believing in it.

OK then, I'll go see Vicente and Rocío.

I'll be waiting here.

Getting married at last! Lirio... or rather, Marichuy and me, getting married!

-What's wrong?
-What do you think?

Looking at your face, it must be nasty, but I don't know what it could be.

I saw Marichuy and you getting too close.

-Is there something wrong with that?
-Of course there is!

Does Marichuy have to ask for your permission?

-Be more clear, yes?
-It's pretty clear to me.

But if you're still having doubts, I'll clear them up for you.

That's what I am waiting for.

Marichuy just accepted my proposal, and she is going to be my future wife!

So, why don't you believe in hell, gran-gran Marianita?

Well, first off, because we pay for our good and bad deeds on earth.

And secondly?

Because for me, and many other people, God is a loving father, and more importantly,

A forgiving father, just like every other father in the world!

Oh really?

Have you ever done a bad thing, and your daddy didn't forgive you?

Well, he does scold me...
But much, much later, he forgives me!

Well, that is precisely what I want you to understand.

God isn't evil, and he doesn't punish, if you truly repent from your sins, God will always forgive!

And how do you know he forgives you?

Haven't you noticed everything he gives you, from the moment you were born?

God gave you the sun's warmth, water to drink, flowers that surround you in their sweet perfume!

God lets you see the sunlight, the night's fall, and the stars in the sky!

God let's you see an endless quantity of colors, instead of making everything black or white!

Do you think that what he gave you is small?

With so many pretty things that God gave us,
there couldn't be a hell.

Because he is good and loving... He may never punish you!

Hey, then tell me how heaven is, since you know how it is?

For me, heaven is living with God,
there's no suffering or pain!

There's only joy, eternal happiness,
and nothing bad ever happens!

You never feel pain!

I wanna go to heaven when I die, then! Because surely my mommy is there,

And I'll go see her, and I'll see you too!

Just for how you are, and loving me so much,
I'm always worried,

But there may come a day in which I'll finally relax, and I'll be waiting for everyone.

All of my loved ones, I'll reunite with them!

But grandma, you're still gonna visit me, right?

Of course, dear!

Of course I'll still see you anytime you want to see me, I'll never leave you alone, ever!

My dear grandma! That's why I love you so much!

Do you need anything else? The date, for example? We haven't set it yet,

but if you agree, I'll send you an invitation.

Don't be so cynical, it's out of character for you.

Then don't get involved in things that don't concern you.

Marichuy was my wife.

-You said it, was! She isn't anymore.
-She had a son that is mine!

Oh, I found out you recognized me, you got me there! Because I was going to do that, too!

Don't tell me, what right would you have to do that?

Even if you don't want to believe it, I have more than you!

I'd like to know which ones, so we can talk them out.

Anytime! You know where to find me. And since you want to go see me,

I'll tell you something, don't try to take that baby away from Marichuy, because she isn't alone in this!

Now she has me to defend her in every aspect,
legally and as a man!

Who do you think I am, Omar?

Do you think I'm a miserable villian without feelings or standards?

I don't know, I had a friend who I thought I knew well, but I'm not so sure now.

And I had a friend I considered a brother, and now he aims to take the woman I love away from me!

I'm not taking her, she's leaving you, and I think we'll leave it at that, it's useless to go on.

We'll talk it out later, Omar.

Anytime!

They left you alone,

I don't know anyone here, and Juan Miguel went to talk with someone,

We talked about our respective weddings-

-Are you getting married?
-Yes, with Marichuy.

Were you arguing with mr. Contreras?

Yes father, about Marichuy, he wants to take her from me.

He's trying to convince Marichuy to marry him!

Well, that shouldn't matter to you.

Yes, but I can't let that happen. I love Marichuy, father Anselmo, I love her more than ever!

And she doesn't love him, she loves me, and if she gets married, she'll still love me.

But you are engaged with a different woman, Blanca Silva!

Yes, I know that...

Can you break the engagement?

A-a-are you going to marry Marichuy?

It looks like the news made you nervous, Blanca, you look like... What's the matter, Blanca?

Blanca?

I meant to break up with Banca, father. But I didn't have the courage.

Blanca needs me now more than ever!

Then resign yourself to losing María de Jesus, let her find happiness somewhere else.

And you must search yours by the side of that good woman, who loves you.

She's waiting for you because she gave herself to you.

It's just that father, it's not like that. Blanca, against her will,

leads a different life that I know almost nothing about, and I have not been able to cure her because...

Because she doesn't fully want it! At night, she escapes, gets out of the house-

And you can't stop her?

Well, yes, yes... I could lock her up like she asked me to, but that would be counterproductive.

-And also...
-Yes?

You know what, father? I'll leave her be, then I'll follow her, because I need to know where she goes.

I'll find out who she's seeing!

But it's not easy task, from what I'm seeing.

No father, I'm living tormented by it.

Would you like to go for a cup of coffee?

Of course.

I need to unwind, and who better than you!

Father, there's a cafe close by,
we can talk comfortably there.

-Alright.
-Let's go.

I'll say, I really liked that Nelson, like when he started telling us those things

he wrote that I didn't really get, he was a nice friend, he was out there, but he had

a kind heart, and yet look what happened.

BLANCA, BLANCA, BLANCA! What happened?

Blanca, what's the matter?

Blanca? Blanca?

Blanca suddendly began looking lost! Blanca, Blanca!?

-I have to leave, I have to-
-You're not feeling well?

I have to go! Where's Juan Miguel, where is he?

Inside!

Go get him, please! Tell him to come soon, I need him!

-Go tell him, I beg of you! Please go!
-Alright, calm down! I'm going!

Wait up, I'll bring him here, calm down.

No... God no... Not here, please no, Ivette... Please no... NO NO NO!

-Where's Dr. Juan Miguel San Roman?
-He was with father Anselmo.

Thank you. Where are they?

Where's Juan Miguel?

I can't find him anywhere, they said he was talking with father Anselmo.

But I don't see any of them.

-Oh my god!
-Are you still feeling bad?

What do you need? Can I help you?

Get me out of here, Dr. Contreras! Take me home, I beg of you, I'm begging you, please!

Calm down, calm down!

Take me home!

The frenchie is there going crazy, you know? She's going to get in the room where she lives!

Look at me, Blanca, what are you feeling? What happened, why won't you answer me?

And what's with you, girl? With you and Leopardo, did you forgive him?

Yes, at the funeral in Nelson's house, I told Leopardo that I'll marry him.

If you're going to marry Blanca, why are you going to forbid Marichuy from getting married?

No Rocío, that's different, it's different, they're completely different cases.

Will you accept him as your husband? Just like that?

What's going on with today's youth?

What are you doing in that room, Omar?

He's going to marry Blanca, maybe if I could do something to prevent that wedding from happening...

You love him, right?
