Estelia Madrigal

Chapter 4

I was in my room when I saw a heard Tia Pepa and Tio Felix talking about Tio Bruno

We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no

We don't talk about Bruno, but

It was my wedding day (it was our wedding day)

We were getting ready, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky (no clouds allowed in the sky)

Bruno walks in with a mischievous grin (thunder)

You telling this story or am I?

I'm sorry, mi vida, go on

Bruno says, "It looks like rain" (why did he tell us?)

In doing so, he floods my brain

Abuela, get the umbrellas

Married in a hurricane

What a joyous day! But anyway

We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no

We don't talk about Bruno

Growing up as they talked bad about Bruno

Prophecies being told 

Bruno and the future were never good

Hey, grew to live in fear of Bruno stuttering or stumbling

I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling

I associate him with the sound of falling sand, ch ch ch

It's a heavy lift with a gift so humbling

Always left Abuela and the family fumbling

Grappling with prophecies they couldn't understand

Do you understand?

A seven-foot frame, rats along his back

When he calls your name it all fades to black

Yeah, he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams (hey)

We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no

We don't talk about Bruno

He told me my fish would die, the next day, dead (no, no)

He told me I'd grow a gut and just like he said (no, no)

He said that all my hair would disappear

Now, look at my head (no, no)

Your fate is sealed when your prophecy is read

He told me that the life of my dreams

Would be promised, and someday be mine

He told me that my power would grow

Like the grapes that thrive on the vine (óye, Mariano and Julio are on their way)

He told me that the man of my dreams

Would be just out of reach

Betrothed to another

It's like I hear him, now

He told me that the man I would be with

Would be the boy from my childhood memories

Julio has come back home for me

He is now and will be my husband to be

Hey sis, I want not a sound out of you

Um, Bruno

Yeah, about that Bruno

I really need to know about Bruno

Gimme the truth and the whole truth, Bruno  

(Isabella and Estelia, your boyfriend's are here)

Time for dinner

A seven-foot frame, rats along his back

When he calls your name it all fades to black

Yeah, he sees your dreams and feasts on your screams

You telling this story or am I?

Óye, Mariano and Julio are on their way

Bruno says, "It looks like rain"

In doing so, he floods my brain

Married in a hurricane he's here

Don't talk about Bruno, no (why did I talk about Bruno?)

Not a word about Bruno

I never should've brought up Bruno!

I went to the kitchen and saw Julio talking to Abuela and I took a breathe and Abuela saw me. Her eyes softened when she saw me and Julio turned around and gasped when he saw me and walked to me and said, "Estelia, te ves increíble. Eres un Madrigal increíble." I smiled and he grabbed my hand and we went to take our seats and we listened to Abuela talking. I looked at Dolores and she seemed scared and luckily I saw beside her and she looked at me when Mirabel looked away.

She told me what she heard Papa and Mira were talking about and my eyes widened and the wind and fire started to get rough. Luisa came beside me and comforted me and I smiled then I got up from my seat and went to Camilo. I told him what Dolores told me and he had the same reaction as me and I sat back down and the chain went down. When mama heard she looked at Mira and she looked down but looked at the floor which I was confused. Then Mariano said, "Mirabel are you alright?" Mira bumped her head and papa helped her then Julio said, "Mariano if you don't mind I would actually like to do it 1st."

My eyes widened and Abuela looked happy and Mariano said, "Of course. While that happens Luisa could you get the piano?" Luisa started to cry and then I looked at my hands and fire started to come out and so I had to cover it then Julio got down on one knee and said, "Estelia Abril Madrigal will you do me the honor of marrying me?" I looked at him and saw the ring then remember the prophecy that Tio Bruno gave me and I smiled knowing I would be married to me best friend. I looked at him and said, "Si, Julito I would be honored to be your bride." He smiled and gave me the ring and we went on a walk.

We talked and talked and I gave him and smiled then when I got back home I saw Isa walking poor Mariano home. I ran to her and said, "Isa, Mariano what happened?" She looked at me and said, "You twin sister is what happened and she is in trouble. No wonder your the golden child of the twins." My eyes started to tear up and my powers went berserk again and I ran home to mama and my eyes were watering and when I went to touch something it caught in flames. I looked at mama and she put some gloves on and told me it would be ok.
