Esmeralda | Capítulo 1 Completo | Telenovela Mexicana |

It's like heaven conspiracy.

What a bad weather for childbirth.

Dominga, I can't,
I don't have the strength.

With help of Saint Mary
everything will go well.

You have to push.

Don't worry, my girl.

Doctor will be here soon.

I will try to calm your husband.

Yes Crisanta, go to him.

It has to be boy.

How is my wife?

She's really not well...
Blanca is so delicate.

Don't give me that.

Blanca is strong and still young.

It's not true!
YOU want her to be like that.

But you are too proud
to accept the reality.

Watch your mouth, Crisanta.

I raised her since she was a baby.

I know her better than anybody else.

And I warned you not to come here,
to Casa Grande.

I had to, it was necessary.

Our farmer died,
I had to deal with the burial.

So you should have left her
in the capital.

I told you it's a crazy idea
to bring her here.

Stop that lament.

You make me even more nervous.

And that damn medic is still not here!

It's long past hour since I sent for him.

To hell with this!

I can't reach doctor's house!

They won't be on time, Don Rodolfo.

They won't...

They have to, thay have to!

It will be your fault...

Stop that already, Crisanta.

If anything happens to lady Blanca,
it will be only your fault.

I said enough!

Push woman, push hard.

I'm dying, Dominga.
I'm dying.

God only knows what he's doing.

You have to push.

It's a boy!

Your hysteria won't help.

You only complicate things.

You made me do it.

Medic is still not here, sir.

If he's late, he will regret it.

If it's necessary,
you will help in childbirth, Crisanta

No, I wouldn't know what to do...
I might hurt her.

Someone has to help the birth of my son!

Not me... I'm scared.

I know who could help, sir.

Who?

Dominga.

They left you all alone in this world.

What will I do with you, my little boy?

She helped many women.

Have them bring that Dominga here, now.

Lives of my wife and my son are most important.

Especially my son!

Crisanta, if I die...

Don't leave Rodolfo, take care of his son.

Don't say that, my little girl.

I feel like I'm going to die.

You will give that birth, my dear.
And you will be happy with your child.

Hurry, Dominga!

Don't be afraid, little angel.

We will worry later, about you and your mom.

I can't, just can't.

My little girl... Oh my God.
My little girl.

Hurry, hurry!

Medic?

No - it's Dominga, bring some water.
And bedsheets.

How is she?

I'm not sure, she passed out in pain.

She's very pale. Please, save her.

Five years I've waited for my heir.

It would be really bad if he's not born.

How bad is she?

I'm not taking responsibility for her life, nor her baby's.

My God.

However, I will do what I can.

Light went out!

It's the wind.

There are some candles here,
let me light'em.

Go, bring some water,
it's taking too long.

Poor or rich.
God treats everyone equally.

Dominga is ready to receive this baby,
born in the light of the candles.

What happened?

Safety fuse.

Sir, if anything bad happens,
you can have other children.

No, no more.
My wife can't take any more...

It has to be now.
Baby strong and full of life.

Would be nice, but...

...what if it's a girl?

NO! Girl no.

It has to be boy, because I want it.
A man.

Crisanta, bedsheet.

Here you go.

What's happening?

- It was a girl.
- 'Was'?

Yes... she's born dead.

My god, how will Don Dodolfo react,
if he finds out.

What can you do.

He'll go furious and blame her.
He wanted a boy, it was his obsession.

But it's a girl. Dead girl.
This is tragedy.

That's life.

Wealthy lord, with authority --
but baby is dead.

Before I arrived,
I received a baby of poor woman.

But she died.

I left her son in the hut.
Poor baby, it's not his fault.

Now I have to take care of him
and find him a mother.

God give me the light, cause I don't know
what to do with him.

- That baby is an orphan?
- Yes, his father is dead too.

What will I do?
Everything got complicated.

This baby should have been born there.
Not the other one, full of life.

Dominga, it's still possible.

What'cha sayin?

Please, Dominga, help me.

Help you? In what?

There lies a baby without parents,
and here are parents without a baby.

I'll pay you well!
I beg you, help me.

What is that Dominga person
doing with my wife?

It's not a simple thing...
sometimes it can last for many hours.

Crisanta could come out already.

No.

You said it will be alone.
Here it will have everything.

You won't regret it,
we can avoid much suffering.

Just think how bad can be his life,
cold, without motherly love.

I can almost hear him crying, Dominga.
It's breaking my heart.

Look at my little Blanca.

She should have him in her arms.
Warm arms full of love.

Arms, that are now empty...

She can't be a mother anymore.
She was very sick.

She's so delicate.

Give us the boy, let him replace the girl.

Dominga, bring him here.

Very well, I will.

I can't wait any longer.

Sir.

I'm going to check on my wife.

Please, let's switch our babies.

I'll do it, Crisanta.

Don't tell anyone.

>What's happening, Crisanta?

He can't see the baby.

This way.

>Open up! I demand it.

Isn't it too late?

No no! Go, bring the boy.
I will take care of everything.

Crisanta, can you hear me?

What's going on?

Still nothing, sir.

- Let me in.
- No-no, not now.

Crisanta!

Everything is ok. Please, don't
bother my little girl now.

I will call you when
something is happening.

Sleep. Sleep until that woman is back
with a baby that'll fill up the emptiness.

God bless you.

You are lucky little boy,
you will have mommy and daddy after all.

I'm hopless, I can't do a thing...
I hate not having control of the situation

Don Rodolfo, Gabino is here.

Finally! Why so long?

Where's medic?

I couldn't bring him, it's the weather...

So where have you been all this time!

I got him.

Here is our little orphan.

Can I call lord?

He will love him like his own.

- I'll be going now.
- Wait Dominga.

What?

I want to thank you somehow.

No, I didn't do it for money.

Take.
You might need them for the funeral.

I know it's not much but...
I'll give you earrings too.

But...

Take them, these are emeralds.

But...

Please, take them!

Light is back, and storm is gone.

Hide them.
It must be lord.

I can't wait any longer,
what's going on there?

I won't let you throw me out again!

You can enter now.

You mean...

I knew it.
It's a boy.

Healthy and strong, my heir.

Crisanta, we have more proper clothes for him.

This boy will be somebody.

Blood of Penareal flows in his veins.

A boy, my son.
No doubt about it, it's my son!

My god... girl is alive.

Thank you, my darling.
You made me the happiest man in the world.

What about the baby, is it alive?
It's a boy?

Of course.
You gave him son.

It's a miracle.
She's alive.

The girl is alive.
What have I done.

But I had no choice, but to replace you...

I don't know why,
but I thought it's a girl.

Suck it, you have to learn how to.

And we thought you are dead.

It's my fault.

Can you imagine what
happened in Casa Grande?

But we can't go back, I will go to jail.

No, never.

Noone will know about it.

Thanks to Dominga.
Because medic could not arrive.

Well now, it's time tell everyone
in Casa Grande, that I have a son.

A real man, like me.
In the end, it's my son!

- You don't like it?
- How can I not like it?

But was there really no girl?

Of course not.

- It must've been a dream then.
- Yes, a dream.

But now you finally have your boy.

God bless you.
Your son couldn't find a better place.

No, we can't go back now.

I will go to the jail, and you...?

What will happen to you?

They have their boy.
Just like they wanted.

But you can't have that luck,
which you deserved.

But you have me now.
Only me.

You will stay with me forever.

So you are going to Mexico soon, sir?

Blanca is feeling fine now.
So we are going as soon as possible.

Maybe even today.

And you know what, Dionisio?
I'm paying everyone double.

Starting with you!

-If that's what you want, sir.
- It's to celebrate the birth of my son.

- It's clear to see that you are happy, sir.
- Like never before.

My son is most important now.

Sir, what name will you give him?

My father's name.
Jose Armando.

That's strange...

- Are you ready?
- Yes, yes.

What?

I can't find my emerald earrings.
They were here, but now they're gone.

Search again.

I did, they are not here.

So we have a thief?
Need to take drastic measures.

Maybe Crisanta knows, I'll ask her.

Jose Armando Penareal.

You are alive thanks to God.

What could be your name.

Something nice, something rich,
because that's how you are.

Name...

Are we going now?
I'll take my luggage.

-Crisanta.
-Yes?

Do you know where my emerald earrings are?

You are so pretty.

You were dead just week ago.

Your eyes are beautifully green.

Eyes of rich people.

But... you are not looking?

Is it possible that you can't see?

No, I don't know.

Rodolfo thinks that someone
stole them... This might turn really bad.

- Tell him you left them in Mexico.
- No, I won't lie, Crisanta.

Just to buy some time.
I will try to retrieve them.

I know who has them, my little girl.

You know?

Dominga. Woman that helped us that night.

But...

If they'll accuse her of theft,
she might tell everything.

Tell about what?

What's going on!
Speak.

You'll kill me, my child.

Why?!
What have you done?!

I gave her those earrings,
so she can keep a secret.

What secret?

We can't talk about it here.
Someone might hear.

- Let's go to your room.
- Rodolfo is there.

Then let's go to mine.

What secret? Tell me.

Blanca... baby in the cradle.
It's not your son.

:O

No reaction...
I have a bad feeling about this.

But there is light in your eyes.

You had a girl.
But she was born dead.

It's impossible, no.

This boy is an orphan, he was born
few hours earlier.

His mother died during birth.

What have you done, Crisanta,
what have you done?

Your daughter was dead.
Rodolfo wanted his son.

And this boy was all alone.

That's why I convinced Dominga
to exchange babies.

Oh my God.

Forgive me, but there was no other choice.
Don't cry.

You will love him like your own.

Where are you going, my child?
Lord can't find out!

For God's sake.

My God... It's not my son.

Never repeat that again.
Help me please.

For you and me.
For that baby, and for lord.

Keep a secret,
help me.

They are beautiful.
Real and beautiful.

Just like the girl.
It's the same colour as her eyes.

Esmeralda
Esmeralda

This will be your name.

Mexico, capital city

Years later.

What a cute picture of Jose Armando.
How old was he?

One year, Fatima.

He always was a pretty boy.
You were very lucky, Blanca.

Exag

Our Lady was merciful.

- Hi, mom.
- Hi, daughter.

How are you, aunt Blanca?
Ready for Casa Grande?

Yes, Graciela. I'm waiting
for Jose Armando and Rodolfo.

I would do anything to go with you.
I'll miss Jose Armando in his absence.

Very much.

Thay can't be apart.
He's destined for my daughter.

I will bring them together at any cost.

Nice and fresh, for my queen Esmeralda.

Everything looks the same.
Nothing is changing here.

I like going back here.
But we visit very rarely.

I'm planning on spending vacation here.

Very well, my son.
You were born here.

I'm glad you love the land of your origin.

What the- ! Stealing strawberries?!

Lord? Lord arrived!

Don't show up here again,
or else you will regret it!

You will be the lady of Penareal fortune.

Money and jewellery.
Even famous Casa Grande.

You will have what I couldn't.

You will be wife of the real Penareal.

Not some moron like your father.

Jose Armando is not used to
country side, mom.

Five days and he'll be back.

I wouldn't be so sure.

No reason to panic.
Who at the rancho could take him from me?

My queen, I have something for you!

Strawberries?

- How did you know? You can't see!
- Mysterious voice told me.

Voice from the waterfall?

That chatterbox! Maybe she told you
some nasty things about me...

No, nothing like this!

I just recognized the smell.

Gimme gimme.

Delicious.

Yeees.

- Who gave them to you?
- These are from Casa Grande fields.

- They gave you?
- No, I just took them.

What's with the rush, Dionisio?

Strawberries thief.

Guard them better.

How do you like my son?

He's finally showing up,
I wouldn't recognize him!

It's been almost 10 years.
How's everything?

Very well, young lord.

My son wants to stay here,
spend some time.

- Saddle a horse.
- Yes, sir.

- Don't tell me you stole them, Melesio.
- Nooo, they were growing there.

God created them, then the rain fell...
and they grew.

True true.
He created everything.

Yummy.

- You know what Esmeralda?
- What?

- A lot of people arrived at Casa Grande.
- Lord is coming here every year.

But also women, a lot of women.
And young man, don't know him.

- Young, very handsome.
- Really? Who is he?

How many years, Crisanta?
So many memories.

It had to be like that, my dear.

I love Jose Armando like his my son.
But I never stopped thinking about my girl

I wish I could meet her.
I feel remorse, nanny.

It's all on me.

- But I agreed to that. I was silent.
- You knew it's for the best for everyone.

I never even visited her grave.
Don't know where she's buried.

I didn't want to come back here.

It's better like that. If your husband
had found out, it would be a disaster.

It's been so long ago.
And he will never know.

Who knows, nanny.
There is someone who can tell him.

Dominga.

We don't even know if she's still alive.

- It's you, doctor Maravel?
- Where is Esmeralda?

Why are you spending here every day?

I like this silence.

You should be sleeping more, my queen.
Not sitting here since early morning.

There is no difference for me.

But at night...
Melesio won't go to cemetary.

Scared?

- Yyyes.
- I'm not, I like it there.

The fragrance of flowers.
And to pray for those who passed away.

What devil!

Melesio!

Melesio ke pasa?

It seems I've found strawberry thief.

What are you doing here?
Who are you?
