Sorry for showing up like this. I'm outside your house,
-can you come? -Sure,
I'm on my way.
What a surprise.
Why are you here? Something happened?
Yes.
I wanted to see you.
Just that?
Well and I wanted to tell you as well...
I'm scared.
I'm scared to lose you,
that this doesn't work out,
that you leave my life,
to be without you. Everything.
Your ex-wife wants to break us apart, little by little.
No, no.
That's a ghost. Because it won't happen.
No, no. Those are not ghosts.
What happened today?
Finally we were eating out and she messed it up.
Don't you realize?
She's always finds a way to make it like a coincidence.
When she got a flat tire, she had to call you.
She didn't call the insurance, a tow truck or a friend.
Look. I understand she has to be in your house,
so she can take care of your son,
but if you don't put a limit,
-this isn't going to work. -Don't say that!
We have to go easy on this.
This isn't time or the place. Let's go to have dinner.
That's the problem. We don't have neither time nor a place.
Sometimes I feel this is like a fantasy.
This is not a fantasy, alright?
Julieta, you're my dream come true.
Dad, what are you doing?!
Unbelievable!
How dare you make out with your mistress
in front of our home?
Viviana, I demand respect.
Don't talk like that.
What respect?
Look at you,
here with this damned woman
-who doesn't care... -Hey, hey, Viviana!
Stop it! Why are you being like this?
You're being much worse.
My brother is bedridden,
and you're putting on a show with this whore.
Stop insulting Julieta.
Please, don't fight. I'm going.
No, no, wait a second.
This is unfair,
but we shouldn't talk about that here.
I don't deserve this.
I speak however I want.
You just lost the little respect I had for you.
And you, shameless,
don't you realise we're going through something awful?
-Stop it! -Of course I know.
-I'm here supporting your dad. -What support?
My brother is bedridden
while you're here fondling my dad!
I'm not fondling anyone. I'm here because I love him.
You shouldn't have made this without speaking to mom first.!
I won't allow you to keep insulting her.
Don't ever touch her again.
Look at you defending her, dad.
You should be thanking me.
You know what would've happened
had it been mom opening that door?
It's like you forget that she's still
the woman of this house,
-and that won't ever change. -Enough.
Stop, Viviana.
Why don't you continue on your way,
we'll talk about this once you're back,
Don't worry, I won't go anywhere.
-I don't feel like it anymore. -So, go then.
Why not, Fabian?
and she's in love with you.
And all of that can change if you set your mind to it.
You just have to be with her,
prevent her from calling or visiting me.
I'm sure that, in time, she'll forget about me.
Javier, listen to me.
I already tried and it didn't work.
If I keep seeing her
is because I've accepted I'm only her friend.
Okay, look at me and tell me what you see.
Viviana is upset because of Javier.
No, I shouldn't have come.
I don't usually do things like this.
It's my fault.
Hey, no. I don't want you to go like this.
You're upset. This not your fault.
No, of course it is.
I was swept away by stupidity, fear, insecurity...
and love.
I ruined everything.
No, don't say that.
If you were feeling upset and wanted to see me
it's good you came.
Are you sure?
Of course.
It's the worst decision I've made.
No.
I wanted to support you in what you're going through
but I got in trouble with your daughter.
Look, Viviana is...
a rude, disrespectful, and spoiled girl.
And it's my fault.
But I'll speak to her and set this right.
I hope so.
If you lost the love and respect of your daughter
because of me,
I'll never forgive myself.
I actually lost I can't e that love disappeared
form one day to the next.
More like from one disappointment to the next.
It's just that,
when you go
through more suffering than happiness,
you realize that person is not the right one.
Maybe you push her away to get over her?
Beto,
every time she calls you, you drop everything and go.
It's the affection.
But, why don't you better ask me how I feel about you?
So you're not left wondering.
Please, tell me already.
I feel everything for you.
You make me feel calm, peaceful,
you're sweet,
and you make me feel happy.
I feel the same for you.
I'm sorry, Javier, but it seems
You're only looking at the bad side of things, okay?
it's understandable but trust that,
in time,
things will start falling into place.
And when will that be? In 5 or 10 years?
Maybe never, Fabian.
It makes no sense to tie Madonna
to a boyfriend who can't even hug her.
But you're perfect for her.
I have to confess I really like her,
but that's not enough.
I'll take care of her, I'll be by her side,
but no one can change what's in her heart.
I'm sorry but, it's getting late.
You already did.
I understand that you're angry at me.
I even understand that it was rude of me
to speak to Julieta outside our home.
So, I apologize.
I'm sorry.
Even so,
it doesn't give you the right to treat me like that.
Well, I'm treating you like you deserve.
Now, wait a minute.
Honey,
we will get nowhere like this.
It's not ok that you question everything I do and say.
I am simply telling you what I think of you.
Do not interrupt me. I'm trying to talk to you.
-I don't want to listen! -No, no, no.
-What's wrong with you? -You will listen to me!
Even if you don't want to and hate me!
Even if it's unbearable! You'll listen to me!
I swear to you you will.
?
I screwed up.
I went to Antonio's house.
What? I didn't mean what I said.
You didn't have to go to his place.
It wasn't like that. I stayed outside and called him,
but his daughter caught us kissing.
Viviana.
I can already imagine the show that idiot put on.
You can't even imagine.
I just wanted to disappear.
Juli, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I'm sorry.
No, it was my decision.
I followed my heart and messed it up.
Well, what's done is done.
A kiss isn't that terrible.
According to you.
But that girl mopped the floor with me.
The worst is that she was right.
How can that lousy, wretched, stupid girl be right?
She's just a spoiled brat, don't listen to her.
How can I not?
He has a lot of problems.
His son is sick, that witch of a wife,
well, ex-wife, is still living with him
and now his daughter won't speak to him because of me.
Okay, but you can't just quit because of that. You just can't.
I can't stand this.
I don't think this relationship will work.
I say it will.
It will work,
you'll see.
-Are you crazy? -First, you are not my mother,
you're not God, neither my judge.
You're my daughter and you owe me respect,
even if you don't feel like it.
So, don't ever speak to me like that again,
is that clear?
Second of all,
I've the right to rebuild my life.
Your mom and I are separated,
and not because I wanted to,
she wanted it that way.
And, do you think I'm not bothered
by what happened to your brother?
That I don't feel powerless seeing him like this?
I'm enraged, that's how I feel,
because this whole thing
could have been avoided had he listened to me!
I'm destroyed, honey.
But I can't show weakness in front of you.
I'm supposed to be the strong one in this family.
What do you think will happen if I fall apart?
If I shatter?
This family breaks down,
Javi, your little brother breaks down.
I need support,
I need Julieta and her words
telling me to not fall, to keep going,
get up,
someone who listens to me,
who makes me laugh for a few minutes.
When I speak to her I find all of this.
I am only human,
I need peace, calm, strength.
If I can't find it...
I'll fail you.
You're right about all of that.
But...
I also ask you to understand that it makes me sad
seeing you in love with someone who's not my mom.
-It's just that. -Okay, okay.
That is normal. But say it to me like this,
like this, calmly.
Do not be mad at me, please. I love you more than anything.
And I you, dad.
But it makes me so angry
to see you with Julieta, or whoever.
I mean, all my life you've been mine,
and my brother's and mom's, but mostly mine.
Why do I have to share you now?
Why?
I understand, sweetie.
I'm sorry.
All I ask you
is that you stand in my shoes for a bit,
just a bit.
Okay, dad.
I'll quit bothering you about Julieta.
You do what you need to do to be happy or whatever,
but, please, don't ever bring her here again.
I don't want to see her.
Promise?
Okay, I promise.
I'm sorry, dad.
have done it without Lupita.
Since we're on the subject,
I wanted to know what you decided
about being my girlfriend.
You're putting me on the spot.
Lupita has been a good friend and I don't want her to suffer.
What about our happiness?
We will find it
honoring our friends and being loyal.
I could not be happy any other way.
So...
Yes or no?
I miss you. You don't know how much I need you.
I love you.
Vivi,
you know perfectly well that...
What's the matter, baby?
You can't sleep?
Nothing,
I was just getting comfortable.
I love you.
I just want to hear your voice.
Catalina, what's wrong?
I'm sorry. I just needed to cry for a bit on my own.
I'm doing all I can to stay strong in front of Javi
but I can't do it anymore. I swear it.
I know.
It's been hard on all of us.
I remember when he used to run to our bed.
Yes.
I can almost see him standing there, by the door,
wanting to sleep with us because he was scared.
Now, he can't run even if he's scared.
And you and I aren't together anymore.
Nothing is like it used to be.
We are still his parents and we love him the same
or more than before.
Be strong, not just for Javi, but also for Vivi and Yayo.
-And for you? -Yes,
also for me,
because it's not easy to stand up either.
Don't break.
If you break, we all break.
Lean on me.
I was your wife for so long...
that I still feel like I am.
