Things Must End To Begin Again

Fight For Us

Several hours before Sergio's marriage news spread...

[Hello...] Agata called Mrs. Marquina and of course she was happy to hear her voice.

[Can you do me a favor?]

[Anything for you, my dear]

[I'm thinking of marriage instead of engagement by the end of this month. I don't want to wait any longer]

The fact that it was the thing Mrs. Marquina wanted the most, she was more than agree with the idea, the sooner the better. But Agata had a concern to what Sergio would react.

[I'll take care of him, you don't have to worry. Just finish your work and come back, and everything will be ready for your marriage]

[Raquel... What about her?]

Words that turned Mrs. Marquina frowning.

[What's with her? She has nothing to do with us since three years ago]

That moment, Agata realized that Mrs. Marquina knew nothing about how close Sergio and Raquel right now and also for the matter of who was the father of the daughter.

Meanwhile, the tension between Sergio and Raquel was still going on as she insisted to go home.

"I admit that it's my fault, Raquel. I should've prevented this from happening, I will fix this I promise, but don't go"

"Promise? Don't make another promises if you can't fulfill them! Now that everyone knows you're about to marry someone else, it just adds up the problem between our relationship and I have enough"

"Please don't say that, we're going to my mom tonight, alright?"

"Now you're saying, but only when I get mad at you. Forget that!"

"Raquel! It's not that I don't want to talk to my mom about us. I want her to love Paula as much as I love her that's why I have to be very careful, I'm working on it with my own way because I know my mom"

"Then prove it because I don't see that, until then, you don't have to meet me or Paula. I'm, her mother, will protect her for the worst probability of her losing you as I did before"

Raquel felt bad for crushing down Paula's excitement that day as she was taking her home without Sergio. Earlier, Sergio insisted to drive them home but Raquel was tougher with her own will. She rented a car service from the villa to take her back home.

There's a heartbreaking moment when Paula started to cry because she wanted to be with her papa but Sergio as he wanted to respect Raquel's decision didn't want to make a situation in front of Paula, he helped Raquel to coax Paula to follow Raquel to go home with reasonable excuses although it broke his heart too. Paula agreed at last, crossed her arms while being pouty all the way to home.

As they reached Madrid, Raquel saw Paula who was still in a bad mood and sighed.

"Sweetheart, should we get some milkshake?" Raquel attempted to lighten up her mood.

"No! I want to play on the beach, mom" she whined, almost broke into tears.

"We can always go back someday, like what Sergio uncle said to you"

"It's Sergio Papa!"

"Okay.. Sergio papa..."

"But mom, what kind of flavor the milkshake you want to get me?"
