COME BACK TO ME
When he looks at me, I feel like laughing.
If you're happy around him, why not give him a chance?
As elegant, smart and pretty as you are, you can have any man.
The problem is I don't want any man.
I want Santiago, and I will have him.
You okay?
I'm fine, I just ran into somebody unpleasant yesterday
that I didn't feel like seeing.
Nuria, I can't believe you won't admit that you miss me.
You're sick.
I've told you I don't like seeing you
in these short skirts.
Next time I see you like that,
I'll rearrange your face.
How are the wedding preparations going?
Fine.
Just fine?
Getting married used to be your dream.
I want to know whose phone this was
and I want all the info on it.
Between what's on that phone and what happened with her daughter,
she's suffered a lot.
Let's do it. Let's adopt Juan.
Braulio's a really nice guy, but if he becomes my father,
what about Diego?
I'm ready to adopt the kid.
You must not have been told.
What have you decided? Do you want us to adopt you?
I don't feel like seeing those people again.
Those people? Who are those people?
The Zepedas.
What did the Zepedas do
for you to feel so strongly against them?
This isn't just about me. They're abusive.
We worked long days for minimum wage.
We didn't get any insurance.
If I called out or if my son got sick, I didn't get paid.
We had no benefits or time off.
They're miserable people, I mean it.
Well, I'm sure there are things that can be improved.
You know, the factory isn't directly linked to the Zepedas.
I know, but they know exactly what's going on over there.
They know because it's their handiwork
and they're making a killing.
They're abusive.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I swear I had no idea about any of this,
but I'm gonna find out what's going on.
No, I don't want you to mess with that family.
You'd end up getting hurt.
Yes, you can adopt me.
Oh, honey!
I'm going to be your mom.
I'm going to take great care of you.
And I'm going to love you so, so, so much.
Can I call you "Dad"?
This thing that's happening is an injustice against women
and something must be done.
But I'm practically certain the Zepedas
have no idea of any of this.
Why do you defend them?
Believe me, everything I've told you is true.
They're abusive and heartless.
Is this personal?
No.
Nuria, will you tell me what's going on?
Just that.
It's everything I went through in Juarez.
It was very unpleasant.
It was bad.
The guy who was our supervisor harassed me
and the rest of the girls.
He once crossed the line with me.
Did he hurt you?
No, of course not.
But only because I complained.
And when I did, they fired me.
They didn't even pay me severance.
I could tell you a million stories like that.
I mean it, they're not good people.
That's why I want nothing to do with that family.
I did everything I was asked so I could adopt Juanito,
and I swear I did it quickly too.
I worked fast. I promised...
What do you mean he's being adopted by another family?
I really am sorry.
This isn't fair!
I know I'm not an ideal candidate because I'm broke
and nothing in life goes my way,
but what about my connection with Juanito?
Doesn't that count?
Calm down.
You can't ask me to calm down when you're crushing my dream.
This is Juanito's dream too. We wanted to be a family.
You should be happy that he's being adopted.
Amelia and her husband love him very much
and they'll take great care of him.
Amelia, the charity owner is adopting him?
Yeah.
Amelia and Juan clicked as soon as they saw each other.
Juan will be fine with her and with her husband.
Juanito always spoke highly of her.
I didn't know she wanted to adopt.
Can I see him? Is he here?
I want him to see, for him to know I never forgot about him.
I'm going to love being your son... for a while.
For a while?
Yeah, until Diego can be my dad.
Look, we're going to adopt you.
I'm going to be your dad. You can't have two dads.
Sweetie, I know that you love Diego very much
and I know he means a lot to you,
but he can't be your dad right now.
I promise that you'll get to see him whenever you want.
But if we adopt you, Braulio is going to be your dad.
But what if Diego gets angry because you want to adopt me?
No, of course he won't.
He'll be happy you found a family who's going to adopt you.
You can trust me.
Can you explain this to him?
Yes, and he'll understand it.
The three of us are going to be a very happy family,
just like the ones in your drawings.
I can't give you that information.
Those are the rules.
I need to know if she is happy...
if she was adopted by a good family,
or if she ever tried to look for me.
I'm sorry.
There has to be a way to contact her.
My wife has suffered for many years.
You could write her a letter and we can...
What for?
To tell her how guilty I feel for abandoning her?
That won't help!
No, it's very useful.
If one day your daughter decided to look for you,
we'll give her that letter
and she'll know you've never forgotten about her
and that you're looking for her.
And she can contact you, Martha.
It's worth a shot. Do it, Martha.
Do it.
See you then.
Yes, the time is fine.
Bye.
Babe, we're getting married tomorrow.
Fausto...
What? What happened?
I've told that I always pictured having a big wedding.
I want to invite all my friends.
No, no, babe.
We're getting married tomorrow.
We've waited long enough.
I won't let any fool think he stands a chance with you.
It's better to rush into things, isn't it?
Yeah, but there's so much to do.
I have to tell Nuria.
Let her know then.
If she's cool, great. If she isn't, too bad.
I'm not changing my mind, though.
And neither should you.
Chelo, how many times did you beg me to propose?
How many times did you say
you wanted nothing else but to by my wife?
You got your wish.
We're getting married tomorrow.
I love you.
It was nice to see you
and thank you for telling me what's going on.
I'll see you when your shift is done, okay?
Are you two dating already?
No, we're just friends.
Right.
But you'd like to go out with him.
Yeah.
Lucky guy.
Chalo, I like you, but not in that way.
Got it.
Since he has good job and lots of money, you're...
Go on.
Sorry, that's not what I meant.
Watch what you say, okay?
The last thing I am is an opportunist,
which is what you were trying to say.
I don't get why you're doing this.
Because I like you. I want to protect you.
Guys like Santiago only care about sleeping with women.
I think you're wrong.
In any case, I can take care of myself.
Have a nice day.
Come on. Amelia, I've been thinking.
What's all this about Juan agreeing to us adopting him
after Diego was going to be his dad?
Well?
Mariana set her conditions, and now this kid will too?
I don't feel good about adopting a child
who's going to long for another dad.
Where do I fit in?
Try to understand him.
Diego saved his life
and has been his only friend since he was in the hospital.
Diego has a lot of problems, though, and can't adopt Juan.
Juan will understand that in due time.
He just has to get to know you
and the wonderful dad you're going to be.
I hope so.
I don't plan on competing with anyone for his affection.
I love seeing you become so attached to our son.
That's the three of us.
Danita, Juanito, and me.
We're at the beach because I promised to take him there.
I guess I won't get to do that. His new family will do it.
Damn, life sure has been cruel.
First, I lose my daughter and now I'm losing Juanito.
Juanito's going to be fine with Amelia and her husband.
They're very loving and...
Thanks for trying to cheer me up, but it's not working.
I should've called before showing up.
I was very excited to finally be able to adopt Juanito and...
I just rushed over.
What am I going to do now?
What am I going to do in this city?
I don't even know what to make of my life.
If you really want to be a father, adopt another child.
There are many who need a loving and sweet dad like you.
No, I had a special connection with Juanito.
Besides, I made a promise. I promised I'd adopt him!
I'm indebted to him.
How come?
Do you know what caused his amnesia?
Aida, I don't know if I should write a letter to my daughter
when I know she won't get the letter unless she looks for me.
Maybe she will look for you.
Do it. It's worth a shot.
Roberto said that too.
I don't know, though.
I've been dreaming of finding her for so many years,
that I don't even know what I'd say to her.
Tell her that despite the years, you've never stopped loving her.
That you never forgot about her.
That not a day goes by when you don't miss her.
Speak from your heart.
I'm sure your daughter will understand.
Write the letter, Martha.
It's not easy to put on paper
the guilt I feel for abandoning her.
I don't know if I'll have the strength to write that letter.
I just don't know.
Hello.
Good morning.
Hello.
-Dad! -Hello, son.
I was waiting for you.
I was running errands with your mother.
Hey, did you talk to your friend?
Did you tell her the truth?
I talked to her, but I couldn't tell her the truth.
She told me about things she went through at the factory.
She said the staff are victims of abuse and harassment.
Your brother oversees the factory
and I doubt he'd allow that kind of thing.
I don't think Nuria is lying.
For her, the factory and the Zepedas are the same thing.
She wants nothing to do with anyone connected to the family.
And you want to show her that's not the case
before telling her you're a Zepeda.
Yes, but I think it's more important
to find out what's going on at the factory.
We can't allow that sort of abuse to go unchecked.
No, of course not.
I'm pleased to see you interested in company affairs.
-That means you're ready... -It does not.
This doesn't mean anything.
I already told you I'm not coming back.
I know, I know.
You want to stay at the store to be close to that woman.
Santiago, sooner or later, you'll have to tell the truth.
The more time that goes by, the worse it'll be for her.
-Excuse me. -Yes?
Who's that speaking to the regional manager?
That's Nuria. She's knew. She started today.
Thanks.
She was just hired after being recommended by her cousin...
Eugenia Lopez.
How do Santiago and this Nuria know each other?
How should I know, LIana?
You know me. I never lose.
This is starting to border on obsession.
I don't want to see you get hurt.
It's not an obsession, Mia.
I've been waiting for my chance with Santiago for years
and I won't let some store clerk steal him from me.
If I can't be with Santiago,
neither can you.
COME BACK TO ME
