barbara was estatic
about santiago's decision to get married. santiago took out a pocket
calendar and put his wallet on the side table. he asked her to point to a
date on the calendar. barbara said,"i can't do that. what if i point on
a date in the past?" santiago replied,"then let me cover the
previous dates with my fingers and you can point at the rest." barbara
refused,"give me three months. three months is all i need to prepare
for the wedding." santiago hesitated, then he said yes. barbara
screamed in anxiety. she went inside to tell ernesto and sofia. ernesto was
happy with the couple's decision, but sofia wasn't that glad,"you can't
posibbly prepare a wedding in three months." yet santiago and barbara
was decided. they had a little talk, then santiago left. he forgot all along
about his wallet.
beba asked
lisa,"if you are to get married, can i be the bridesmaid?" lisa
said yes, and focused back on her studies. beba took a blanket and wrapped
it around her, pretending that she was a bridesmaid. "come here lisa!"
beba asked lisa to play along. she placed a white scarf on lisa's head with
a hair clip to make sure it stayed put. once they were ready, lisa laughed
and asked,"so where shall i enter this church from?" beba pointed
to the corner of the room,"you are coming in from there. but first i'm
going to walk down the aisle. i'm going to walk slowly because i don't want
to trip myself over, because if i do i'm going to be very ashamed. i stop in
front of the altar and stand at the side. then our twin nieces come in,
throwing flower petals. silvia's going to be watching from the side, praying
that they do it right and don't walk backwards!" lisa laughed. beba
continued,"then the music is played. dum dum dadum.. and you come in
with augusto. here, take this teddy bear to be augusto. the other one is
going to be the groom." lisa took it, and beba put the other one by
near her side. "you walk down the aisle, and augusto is very proud.
'look mum and dad, lisa has been very successful, and now she is getting
married..'"lisa was touchy to hear beba's words, she cried. beba
scolded lisa,"you can't cry now, you haven't met the groom!" they
both laughed and hugged.
carlos told silvia he
had a bad day,"i look everywhere for job. i have to come home on foot
because i have no money take a bus." silvia wondered,"if you don't
have money to take a bus, where do you find money to buy the diapers?"
carlos shrugged,"that doesn't matter. what matters is that we've got
the diapers now, right?" silvia talked about margo and augusto,"i
don't think margarita loves augusto as much as he loves her." carlos
replied,"but i know you love me." silvia smiled, she told carlos
about augusto's kindness,"when we were kids, he used to kiss us every
night before we went to sleep." carlos replied,"i want a kiss
too." he took his puppet, played it as if the puppet wanted to kiss
silvia. silvia laughed.
margo was alone in
bed. she recalled her time at the hotel. she had actually put her passport
size photo in santiago's wallet when he was in the shower. she smiled at the
memory. suddenly augusto entered. margarita turned around, pretending to
look tired. augusto got into the bed,"good night margarita." margo
snuggled besides him,"good night augusto."
the next morning,
augusto woke up everyone early for a family meeting. the last time they had
one was before silvia got married. during the meeting, augusto lent silvia
money to spend on the twins. margo shot an angry look. augusto then asked
margo and silvia settle the dispute between them. margo was angry,"are
you out of your mind? you wake me up just to watch you give away our savings
to your sister, and you expect me to be nice to her?" margo stormed
towards her room but augusto ordered her to come back. margo hesitantly
returned. silvia slowly apologized to margo, but margo was to angry to
accept it.
barbara woke up early.
sofia was surprised. barbara said,"you have to get used to it. from now
on i'm going to wake up early to prepare for my wedding. i can hardly sleep
last night thinking about my wedding plans." sofia gave barbara a list
of 400 guests. as she turned around she saw santiago's wallet,"whose is
this?" sofia was just about to look inside it when barbara snatched the
wallet away from her and said,"it's santiago's." barbara sat down
and opened up the wallet. she saw margo's photo. barbara was shocked.
suddenly ernesto turned up with the phone. anibal called from amazon.
ernesto said anibal could come home for barbara's wedding. sofia was happy.
ernesto asked if barbara wanted to talk to anibal. barbara wasn't in the
mood to talk,"i know how anibal hates santiago. i don't want to talk to
him just to hear his awful remarks on santiago." sofia wondered why
barbara's mood changed suddenly. when ernesto left, barbara told her mum
about the photo. sofia told barbara she didn't agree with the wedding since
the very beginning, but barbara was the one who insisted on it. yet she
advised barbara,"now you have to know your enemy before santiago denies
about the woman's existence."
margo dressed up and
went to santiago's office. she left him a gift, a perfume, on his table.
then she invited elsa to join her for coffee. elsa asked another secretary
to stand in for her. as they left, barbara arrived. she asked the stand in
secretary where elsa was. the secretary told her elsa went out. barbara
entered santiago's office. she saw the gift. she took out margo's photo and
wondered if margo gave the gift to santiago. meanwhile elsa returned with
margo, the stand in secretary wasn't there. "my boss must be in the
office! he's gonna kill me!" elsa told margo she needed to see santiago
alone to settle the mess. margo was angry, she wanted to see him too. elsa
promised after she talked to santiago she would let margo in. elsa entered.
barbara was waiting. "miss solis??" barbara asked why elsa left
her table. elsa apologised. barbara asked who gave santiago the gift. elsa
said she didn't know. barbara was angry,"do you know what's inside it?
can you smell it? it's a perfume! it's not some kind of gift you give to
anybody!" barbara showed elsa margo's photo,"did she give it to
him? do you know her?" elsa said she had met the woman, but she didn't
know who the woman was. "does she work here?" elsa
answered,"i can assure you that she doesn't work here." outside
the office, margo was restless,"if she doesn't come out in five
minutes, i'm going in!" suddenly elsa came out,"hurry! get inside
the fotocopy room!" she picked up margo's handbag and jacket and pushed
margo into the fotocopy room. "you have to leave now! my boss's fiancee
is here! in his office!" elsa told margo that barbara had margo's photo
and asked elsa about it,"but i told her i don't know who you are. you
have to leave!" margo was angry, yet she had to go.
elsa was called to
ernesto office. barbara was there too. ernesto questioned elsa on leaving
her work with no appropriate reason. elsa apologized. ernesto let her go.
ernesto told barbara,"you mum wants to have your wedding arranged at
the club, but you don't have to follow her words. you are free to decide on
where to have your wedding at."
santiago went for an
exercise with his friend javier. javier wondered why out of the sudden
santiago woke him up early in the morning to go exercising. santiago
said,"i need to loosen up a bit. hey, you are a coach aren't you?"
javier laughingly replied,"yes, but i'm not your coach! i swear i'm
going to make you sweat you body out!" while exercising, santiago told
javier that he was marrying barbara. javier asked,"am i invited to the
wedding?" santiago replied,"of course, you are going to be my best
man." suddenly santiago remembered about his wallet,"i left my
wallet at barbara's house." javier warned him,"i hope you don't
keep any secret inside it. you know how suspicious women can be."
santiago replied,"no, there's nothing in there to draw any
suspicion."
