Adán Rouco picks up the horn.
Estrella Berrocal asked him with some hesitation: “Adán, are you really leaving?
Adán Rouco knelt down in front of her, shook her small hand and looked at her firmly: “As hard as it is, I will take you home. Wait for me and come back as soon as you can.
Estrella Berrocal’s eyes were flooded with tears of emotion.
Dulcina Calvo hastened to say, “Star Entertainment, she’s going to ruin your make-up!”.
Estrella Berrocal hurried to hold back the tears that moved her eyes: “Go ahead, then”.
Adán Rouco comes out of the bedroom with his horn and heads for the door.
Matthew Gálvez gritted his teeth and reached out his hand to point to Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo: “Guys, … count on you!”.
After a few moments, the sound of a horn was heard on the floor below.
Estrella Berrocal got out of bed, ran over to the window and looked down –
Adam Rouco was at the back of the block, with a speaker in his hand, saying, “Everyone, today is my wedding day, so please help me write a message of blessing on this paper and sign it, I thank you.”
With these words, Adán Rouco made a ninety-degree bow, the first time in his life that Adán Rouco bowed to anyone, as he had always been asked to do so before.
This is probably the first and only time I bow to someone for the fact that I am getting married.
In the morning, there were many elderly people coming and going from the back of the neighborhood, and upon seeing Adán Rouco in his boyish clothes and good looks, many of them approached him to write him a message of blessing.
“Young man, may your new marriage be harmonious and beautiful!”
“Young man, may you and your bride be blessed for a hundred years!”
Adán Rouco nodded his thanks one by one.
…
Upstairs, Estrella Berrocal, who was leaning out of the window and watching the floor below, was deeply moved by her gaze.
Ciri Garzón approached him and gave him a smiling look, “So easily distressed?”.
Estrella Berrocal said: “Adán has never bowed to anyone, this would be the first time”.
Ciri Garzón put her arm around his shoulders, looked down at the man who was asking for autographs and said: “For Adán Rouco you mean the world, and for you, what sense does it make to suffer this”.
Estrella Berrocal looked pleadingly at Ciri Garzón: “So when he comes up, please don’t give him a hard time.”
“Okay, okay, look your heart hurts, then when I go upstairs, I won’t give your family Adam a hard time, okay?”
Estrella Berrocal curved her lips, “Good.”
…
In less than half an hour, Adán Rouco had gathered the blessings of ten people to go up.
Ciri Garzon took the keys in her hand and said, “It would be too cheap for the groom to let you take the bride so easily; how about this, the bride lies on the bed, the groom does twenty push-ups and kisses the bride twenty times, and we let her go.”
A twinkle crossed Adán Rouco’s eyes, “Is it true this time?”
Ciri Garzón was also quick to say, “A deal is a deal!”.
And so, to the sound of the crowd rising, Estrella Berrocal, her face flushed, lay on the bed with her hands over her face while Adán Rouco leaned over, his eyes riveted on her, one hand resting on the bed, his body resting on hers, one hand pushing her hands away so that her face would not be covered.
Estrella Berrocal is shy and wants to laugh, this pose, so humiliating!
“Mrs. Estrella, cooperate and we will soon be in church.”
Estrella Berrocal’s scalp was tingling.
With each flex, Adán Rouco’s body leans down and bends his head to kiss Estrella Berrocal’s red lips.
A group of people counted by, “One, two, three, four, five … sixteen, seventeen … Come on boyfriend! Hold on a little longer and you get to twenty!”
“Nineteen! Twenty!”
In the last kiss, Adán Rouco’s fine lips wrapped around Estrella Berrocal’s for a long time, kissing Estrella Berrocal so hard that she blushed up to her ears and neck.
Adán Rouco took out the key and unlocked Estrella Berrocal’s ankle cuffs, then lifted Estrella Berrocal onto the bed in his arms.
Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo each placed a cone of colorful flowers, strips of ribbon rained down on the bride and groom and, in the midst of the celebrations, Adán Rouco carried Estrella Berrocal on the elongated LINCOLN float.
A huge caravan of people arrived at the church.
Inside the LINCOLN bridal car, Estrella Berrocal took out a small mirror to touch up her lipstick and smiled: “You ate a lot of my lipstick”.
Adán Rouco took her in his arms, looked at her in the mirror and said: “Señora Estrella, today you look beautiful.
Estrella Berrocal gave him a pouty look, “You mean I’m not usually pretty?”.
“Normally it’s nice, but today, even nicer.”
Estrella Berrocal happily threw her arms around Adán Rouco’s neck: “Señor Adán, you are also looking especially handsome today”.
Adán Rouco looked at her red lips, her deep, burning eyes, and if he wasn’t going to the church now for the wedding, he would have liked to take his bride home and go straight into the bridal chamber.
…
The famous and grandiose retinue arrived at the entrance of a western-style church.
The large green space in front of the church has long since been cleared, and Adán Rouco has taken the church for the day, and today the couple is the only one in the church.
Estrella Berrocal walks hand in hand with Adán Rouco down the red carpet covered with champagne roses towards the church.
Paulita and Angelo Herran, two short and cute, carrying small baskets of flowers, followed Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal as small florists.
Angelo Herrán whispered to Paulita in the background: “Paula Rouco, later, when we are older, shall we get married like this?
Paulita made a face at Angelo Herrán and said with her tongue hanging out, “I’m not going to marry you!”.
“I’m sure you’ll marry me later!”
“I wouldn’t! I like my father like that! Not like a nasty guy like you!”
Angelo Herran explains, “I won’t hate it when I grow up, I will become as mature as your father.”
“I don’t believe it! Hmph!”
Amidst the commotion of the two little ones, the bride and groom had turned to the priest.
The priest solemnly pronounced the marriage vows –
“Ask Mr. Adam, will you take Miss Star to wife? Love her and be faithful to her, though she be poor, sick, or an invalid, even unto death, wilt thou?”
Adán Rouco pronounced three firm words: “Yes, I do”.
“May I ask Miss Estrella if she will marry Lord Adam? To love him and be faithful to him, though he be poor, sick or invalid, even unto death, is she willing?”
Estrella Berrocal turned her eyes to the man next to her and smiled, “I do.”
The priest closed the vow book and faithfully blessed the couple: “Congratulations to Mr. Adam and Miss Estrella on their marriage and may they be blessed for one hundred years. Please exchange your rings next.”
Amid a round of applause, Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal put on each other’s wedding rings.
After the wedding ceremony, a group of people came out of the church and stood in the green garden in front of the church.
Estrella Berrocal put the bouquet in her hand and threw it backwards.
Among the wedding guests were many women who rushed for the bouquet, breaking it into two bunches in mid-air!
Amidst the crowd and countless pairs of pushing arms, those two bouquets magically landed in the hands of Ciri Garzón and Dulcina Calvo!
