Consuelo Uncovered

DAY 50

Simon after quarrelling with Salvador for talking down on his girlfriend, Consuelo, decided to check on her and met her in bed with another man. He was angry that she lied to him that she was going to pray to her dead mother when she was actually getting down with another man. In anger he lashed out at Carmelo while calling Consuelo a shameless liar. Consuelo defended herself by saying she’s decent and honourable. Carmelo excused his behaviour by telling Simon that Consuelo was unattached so Simon now realized his foolishness in trusting a hustler so he left in anger and a broken heart back home. When Carmelo wanted to leave, Consuelo pleaded that he should not leave as Simon may come back to harass her. Unfortunately, Carmelo left her and the mean looking ex husband came to talk ‘serious sense’ into her head. What a pity. Like Carmelo said she was only fooling herself and no one else.
Rebecca in depression went to talk with Valeria and she wanted to know why the sadness. She told Valeria that being without love is like being dead. She’s heartbroken that the young man that she was in love with is not responding to her. Despite Valeria’s probe and insistence, she refused mentioning the man’s name. Valeria said what she felt was not love but obsession so she should snapped out of it.
Poor Simon, he got home heartbroken and he went straight to the attic to weep his heart out and his eyes red. Salvador went up to comfort and advice him to be a man and channel his energy into more productive things. Simon remembered that Pedro was the only one always advising him using the exact words. So he rushed out from there as if he had seen a ghost. He got downstairs and confided in Antonio that the spirit of Pedro is in Salvador. Vicky on her part thinks Salvador is Pedro’s son.
Isabel came to the attic to see Salvador and during their conversation, called him an arrogant man while Salvador said she was too adventurous. She confessed that she was confused but Salvador said she was allowing her passion to control her. Well she admitted that she cannot resist being close to a man like him and started kissing him. After teasing her for a while, Salvador left and she in turn took the photograph of Don Pedro that he was admiring and looked. Andre that was searching everywhere for Isabel saw Salvador leaving and he climbed up to check and he found her alone. Immediately he wanted to know if she was there with Salvador and she denied. She told him of her confusion about the proposed marriage and he tried killing those doubt by reassuring her that that decision was the best. Andre reminded her of the guests waiting for them downstairs and she asked to be excused from the party. When the guests left, they had to talk and argue till Rebecca came in. It was Rebecca that brought the argument to a halt and she admonished her niece for annoying Andre and advised her not to let him go.
The couple went out together and Isabel decided to break off the engagement. Andre did not accept it but she ran off to pack for a long trip and he followed. Back home Andre asked that no one should disturb them as they wanted to talk in private. Well no one was going to disturb as Salvador and Angela went out to discuss how to get details of her inheritance from the company and Rebecca went shopping for the wedding.
