Katarina and Bianca, the bridesmaids, walked slowly behind the bride towards the groom to the sound of upbeat music….
Carlos and Ernesto, surrounded by their groomsmen, looked at their brides with indescribable excitement and, even now, they were still nervous….
It was a short walk from one end to the other, but both had to fight the urge to approach and hug the person next to them….
The surrounding guests couldn’t take their eyes off the two brides and sighed:
-It’s so beautiful…
-Too much to pour over the country….
-In fact, the most beautiful thing is the love and happiness radiating from their hearts, isn’t it…?
-Yes, you could tell by the way they looked at each other and by the groom they were, like the music playing right now, ‘made for each other’!
Rain couldn’t help but look at them too….
She had taken the day off to attend Micaela’s wedding, but the hospital had called her first thing in the morning to deliver the baby. It was probably too good a day, and a lot of women were having C-sections, so the hospital was short-staffed, and as a doctor, she had to go there.
When he finished his work, he learned that the wedding had been postponed and that not all the guests had left, so he waited here.
Nilson had always known how much he liked Moya, and now that he had to take the woman he loved the most and give her to his rival, how did he manage to have such a calm expression on his face and not a trace of jealousy, but also of blessing in his eyes?
There was nothing cynical in Nilson’s heart, holding the Moya he had known since he was a child, listening to the comments and looking at Carlos who looked at her with love, his heart was solid and he was truly happy for Moya?
She had married the man she loved and who loved her, and she had nothing to worry about, and she would never think twice about Moya again….
Standing in front of Carlos, Nilson looked at Moya, who was blushing and only had eyes for Carlos….
A smile lifted the corners of Nilson’s lips and he handed Moya’s hand to Carlos’, looking at him with wide eyes and saying in a voice only they could hear:
-Carlos, today I give you Moya so that you may bring this unrequited love to fruition….
I don’t regret falling in love with Moya and I don’t regret not getting her because I really tried and tried very, very hard to get her heart, but you showed me that the love between you is unbreakable and I believe that this is the way love should be.
Carlos, Moya, I apologize for all the ways I hurt you before….
At that moment, Nilson pauses, takes the microphone from Eric and then a voice full of sincerity is heard through the stereo:
-From the bottom of my heart, I wish you happiness, beauty and may you be together forever.
The applause was like a tidal wave as Lluvia, with Estela in her arms, looked at Nilson in disbelief and then, unable to stop her heart from racing….
If he really has let Moya go, then can’t she have something to look forward to?
Yerma and Mrs. Echave wept as they listened to Nilson’s words….
Oh Nilson, good boy, surely you have a love of your own?
Their voices, Micaela speaks for them:
-Thank you, Nilson, you’ll meet the love of your life, for sure.
Micaela’s heart was swollen with emotion, joy and relief. She also wished with all her heart that her childhood friend would be happy and have a happy relationship with someone who was Lluvia….
Carlos pulled Micaela to his side, her deep-set eyes shining with the same poignant light….
Dona Echave, no, grandma’s words were right, between him and Nilson, a lose-lose situation is not the best ending, now this, that is….
He also took the microphone handed to him by Eric and his deep voice rang out:
-To be with Micaela forever is what my heart has always desired all my life.
Then he looked at the girl in his arms, and the deep emotion in his eyes grew stronger.
-All my life, I have only stuck to one thing, and that is to love you.
I only love you….
Echoing the wedding theme, the guests at the VIP table were moved to tears, and Micaela even shed a tear, which was gently wiped away by Carlos in her arms….
Over here, Mateo also gave his sister’s hand to Ernesto.
Ernesto was so excited that he took Alba in his arms with a flourish and sighed contentedly:
-Honey, you are mine, forever…..
Alba was also full of emotion and came closer to embrace him….
Mateo, with the microphone in his hand, looked at the two embraced with a smile on his lips, but his words were directed to his sister:
-Alba, I’m comfortable with Ernesto, but, I’m not so comfortable with you…..
Ernesto curiously let go of the person in his arms and picked her up in his figure, looking at his brother-in-law and Alba looked at Mateo, what was going on, was Carlos the family trying to bring her down at her wedding?
Mateo smiled a little smugly and watched as Carlos and Micaela, the best man and the bridesmaids, including the guests, all looked at him intently, before speaking:
-Don’t bully Ernesto as much as you can just because he loves you, such a good husband, keep an eye on him.
There was a roar of laughter from the VIPs, saying that Carlos was funny, but Alba instantly turned red and looked at Ernesto next to her….
She really had no tenderness in the past, she was only threatening and violent with him because of his love for her, when it was clear that Ernesto, who was so nice, deserved better….
Seeing this expression on the face of the always confident and flamboyant cabroncete, Ernesto hurried to snatch the microphone from Carlos’ hand, looked at Alba and confessed affectionately:
-Honey, it’s okay, I’ll do it, it’s not harassment, it’s one of the signs that you love me, no need to look at me, I’ll just surround myself with you, and don’t even ask me why, because I, I just love you.
