Eat at least a little, okay?

It'll do you good. I'm not hungry, mom.

Son, but you need strength. Your body needs to recover.

And what's the point of recovering? This day was supposed to be the best day of my life, but it ended up being the worst of all.

I won the race, mom. I won.

And i showed everything i'm worth. Everything i am.

And what did i get in return? Looks of hatred.

No one congratulated me. Nobody except my dad.

But for the wrong reasons, son. I understand your anger, your frustration, believe me.

But it wasn't what was expected of you, son. You didn't follow the strategy, you had to protect hugo.

Not snatch the race from him, my love. Are you going to scold me too?

To tell me i was wrong for winning? My love, no.

I'm not saying it's wrong to win, but you have to know how to win. And you give me the place i deserve.

You're just like everyone else. Eleazar, all i want is for you to understand...

Understand what? Hmm?

That i have to keep being the...? The shadow of that idiot hugo?

Huh? That i swallow my talent so as not to overshadow the good boy?

Huh? Mom.

Valeria treated me like dirt. Everyone did.

Everyone. Except my dad.

He does recognize me, he does know my worth. I've told you that too, son.

And even before you came with that trophy. If i'm here, it's because you matter to me.

And i'm always going to tell you the truth. If you came to give me the same old lecture as everyone else, then just leave.

I don't need you to keep judging me. - - ele...

May i come in? Yes, come in.

I want to talk to rebe alone. Alright.

Let's see if you can get her to eat even a little bit. - don't worry.

- thanks. Hey.

I wanted to invite you out to celebrate that you're number one. And i see you like this.

This is super unfair, eleazar. You deserve to enjoy being the champion.

Thanks, rebe. I believe in you, eleazar.

And i know you're going to go very, very far, okay? So don't worry at all about the envious people.

For me, you are the best motocross rider in the whole wide world. Eleazar.

Consuelo. - yes?

- consuelo. What can i do for you, young diego?

Um, i can't find a shirt. The blue one with white stripes, remember?

Yes, yes, yes. I just ironed it.

- i'll bring it to you now. - i'll come with you.

Yes. You went and gossiped to the tutor, didn't you?

Hey! No.

Actually, no. Oh, please, consuelo.

I saw the look on joaquin's face. You told him about me and majo.

Young diego, i have always treated him with great respect. So i'm going to ask for the same in return.

I just have my face. I'm not a gossip, mind you.

Well. Claudia and i are no longer together.

Okay? In case you were thinking that i'm cheating on her.

I didn't think anything. I mean, i just thought: "oh, young diego is quick, he already found another one," but...

Well, it was like that with majo. I mean, i didn't look for it, it just happened.

I understand, i really do understand, okay? Sometimes love just happens.

When you least expect it. Be more careful, man.

I know, i know. But please, i'm telling you, don't say anything.

Majo and i don't want anyone to know yet. Can i count on you?

You can count on me. Thanks a lot, consuelo.

Oh. You're the best.

- goodbye. - and the shirt, young diego?

Ah. - thanks.

- no, man. Goodbye.

"you're the best. " yes, i am.

What's up, vale? What are you doing here?

I heard what happened to you and wanted to know how you were, but i see you're feeling much better. How sweet, vale.

You came all the way to his house instead of calling him on his cell. That's what good friends do, but don't worry, i'm taking good care of him, mmm?

Right? Little brother.

How are you? I'm great.

Rebe is taking care of him. Yes, i see.

Well, i'm not needed here at all. Keep getting better, eleazar.

Oh, well, with my kisses he'll be as good as new soon. Hmm?

I'll wait for you at the door. They beat you up really badly.

Do you need anything? Everything's fine, clau.

Don't worry. Don't stay too long, let him rest.

Yes, of course. Everything is going to be okay, right?

Sorry i'm late, handsome. Between the line at the taco stand and a client at the salon got difficult with her hair, it got really late.

And these beers? Are you drowning your sorrows or what?

I can't stop thinking about the race. They really ripped me off, skinny.

Everyone saw what you did, my champion. You tore up the track.

That show-off beat you with tricks and everyone knows that. For me, you'll always be the champion.

Mmm, let's go rest, my naye. I've had a few beers and i'm also feeling really sad.

Just let yourself be loved, my hugo. I want you to forget all that sadness and just think about us.

About how much we love each other. About how much i love you.

Frankly, i don't understand your taste for the rustic. Aurelio is gallant.

An old-fashioned gentleman. And he's perfectly fine, he doesn't have a single ailment.

But he's married. Really?

He brazenly lied to me. He told me he was a widower for a few months now.

But his wife showed up to confront me in the middle of the street. And you don't know the scandal that woman caused me.

Well, now that you know he's a fraud, i guess you won't see him again. And why not?

It wouldn't be the first marriage i break up. - nor the last.

- mom. What?

- i'm coming. - i'm coming, chelo.

I'm coming, coming, coming. - come in, please.

- thank you. What can i do for you?

Just coming here to ask you how your paperwork went. Very well.

You know those offices, just going around in circles, more paperwork, but there's no way one wouldn't be fighting for their pension after killing themselves working for so many years. Mmm, of course.

Although, apparently, your pension has long legs, fake nails and a very stretched face. And what's more, she pays your bill in expensive restaurants.

I saw you, aurelio! I saw you with these eyes that the worms will eat.

Let's see, did you follow me, chelo? What's wrong with you, woman?

You told me that you hadn't gotten over my sister's death and that you weren't in love with anyone. That's what you told me!

Why did you lie to me? - don joaquin.

- mmm? He's still here.

Yes. What happened is i was very intrigued.

What did you tell diego that he left with a smile from ear to ear? Just what came from my heart.

I have a lot to learn from you. Don't think so.

I see you more connected every day with the boys. - hmm?

I heard you talking to daniela. It filled me with tenderness.

Also, i'm going to tell you one thing. The greeting, practice it.

- because... - oh, yes.

No, i can't do it. No, not me either.

Don't worry. Don't feel so alone.

With you, i never feel alone. What beautiful things you told dani.

And i wasn't being nosy, huh? I was close to the door.

Anyway. You got a ten.

Uh-huh. The truth is, i never thought i'd have to take care of four kids.

No, me neither. We're taking an accelerated course, you and i, don't you think?

Well, i already gave you a ten. Instead, i give you an 11.

But seriously, i have faith that together we will get them through. I still can't believe you followed me.

What the heck are you up to, chelo? What are you up to?

And don't try to turn the tables on me and act offended, huh? I followed you.

And it was because i knew you were hiding something. - you lied to me!

- since when do i have to give you explanations for my actions? You should be ashamed.

Look, letting a woman pay your bill... Oh, come on, come on.

Do you forget who you are that easily? What do you care, chelo?

Who do you think you are? Why are you judging me?

No. Don't you realize you're trying to fit in where you don't belong?

Among appearances, luxuries that don't suit you. Letting a woman pay for your dinner in exchange for your company.

And according to you, where do i belong? Huh?

Somewhere more honest. With someone who truly knows you, who loves you despite all your mistakes.

Someone who still has faith in you and can help you amend your errors. How many times do i have to tell you that i regret nothing?

My conscience is perfectly clear because i always did what i believed was right. - do what you want, aurelio.

- yes. - ultimately, it's your life.

- yes! Just don't come complaining when you realize that because of your pride you pushed away those who truly love you.

Hey, it's really late. I'm leaving now.

And why...? Why don't you stay the night?

♪ today my life ♪ i mean the time. It's late.

Stay, there's no problem. - no.

- yes. No, really.

No, no. I don't know.

I offer it to you from the heart, consuelo. That way you don't travel on public transport at this hour.

Or would you prefer that i take you home? - i'd be happy to take you.

- no way. No, i live very far away.

And you've already had your drinks, huh? Yes, you're right.

You... Then stay.

Do it for me, mmm? That way i'll be more at ease.

Only because you ask me to. Good.

Good. Perfect.

Rest well. - good night.

- good night. ♪ and i have no doubt ♪ ♪ my life and yours were already written ♪ ♪ to love each other like this ♪ ♪ and now ♪ ♪ being so close to you ♪ do you like this music?

Oh, shall we dance, handsome? Sorry, i, sorry.

Sorry. But are you going through some hormonal issue there?

I'm saying this because of all this display you're putting on with me. Oh, iván.

Why don't you relax a little? Lower your guard, the danger has passed.

Come on. Let's get the party going.

Olga. You owe joaquín a debt because he paid your bail.

You owe the lawyer fees. Why don't you spend a little of your time looking for a job?

I mean, they said that compensation will never arrive. You're not expecting me to support you, are you?

Well, of course not. But i'll start looking at that tomorrow.

This is not the time. Let's do something much more fun.

Olga, stay still. - that's enough.

- see what i mean? That's enough, man.

I don't know you, iván navarro. Well, people change.

Well, supposedly. From what i see, you haven't.

Oh, right. Of course, why didn't i think of that before?

You've gotten involved with someone, haven't you? Are you with someone else?

That's why you're rejecting me. There's another woman in your life.

Let's see, olga. Is it that hard for you to accept a man's "no"?

No, there's no other woman in my life. Let that be clear to you.

I wish i did. What?

What do you mean by that? What else would i want but to go to sleep?

Enough, i'm tired, olga. - what was that, aurelio?

- nothing. Nothing, nothing.

Everyone thinks they have the right to comment on my life, my decisions, my actions, the usual. No, not the usual.

Because chelo spoke to you from the heart. Yes, and you couldn't even listen to her.

Because i'm sick of the complaints. Oh.

What's this about you accepting money from a woman? I'm not accepting money from anyone!

Oh, no? What are you up to?

She's a high-society lady. - oh.

- her name is isaura. We became friends.

Oh, friends, how strange because you hadn't told me about her. She's a woman who has plenty of money, she has tons of it and invited me to dinner.

What's wrong with that? - what are you getting yourself into?

- nothing. I always did what i had to do!

For years, i was stuck in an office, without seeing the light of day. Bosses, schedules.

Double shifts. Queues at the insurance.

Bonuses that weren't even enough for a turkey. My life passed me by, brother, raising my family.

Poor thing. And don't tell me you regret it.

- no! - ah.

But where am i now? They retired me.

I buried my wife. One of my daughters hates me.

And where do i live? With my brother, the priest.

For what? So i don't feel alone, look.

And now that i have some time to live a little and experience that life i never got to have, you and chelo look at me as if i were committing a sin. And does that make you happy?

That lady, that borrowed world, that money, that... - what if it does?

Don't i deserve it? Do you know what you deserve?

Love, aurelio. Not to be anyone's toy.

Enough. That's enough, okay?

I'm not here for sermons. No, no, no, no, no.

Look, don't keep looking for warmth where there's no shelter for the soul. That companionship you long for so much, her name is chelo.

And you're letting it pass you by because you're not daring to feel. I'm right, aren't i?

May i know where you're coming from at this hour, nayeli? Mom.

Don't be mad. It's just that something very beautiful happened.

Beautiful? Let's see, beautiful how?

What are you talking about? Well, about my first time.

Let's see, daughter. Are you telling me that...?

Yes. And it was with a lot of love, mom.

It was very special. It was perfect.

"my dear girl," sweetie. Are you sure about this step you just took?

Because the heart is very delicate, "my dear girl. " i know, mom.

And i swear i did it because i'm sure of what i feel. And what hugo feels?

He takes care of me. He values me.

So, just promise me that you'll take care of yourself, very, very much, my dear, okay? We've already talked about it.

And as if it were gold, never neglect that little heart of yours because loving is beautiful, but it hurts a lot when it's not reciprocated. I love you, mom.

And i you, my dear. Always.

Always. Always.

Joaquín asked me to live with him again. - oh, very good, daughter.

- what great news. Yes, and this time, i didn't need your advice, mom.

Oh, but you used all the tricks i taught you. Oh, we shouldn't be ungrateful in life, kassandra.

You worked the guilt very well, just like mommy taught you. And there you have him, eating out of your hand again.

Didn't i tell you? Yes, yes, yes, mom.

I owe it all to you. Cheers, my love.

Now i'm really going to marry joaquín. I will fight until the end.

Against all odds. - cheers.

- cheers. I already spoke with consuelo and she's not going to say anything.

Almost there, i miss you so much. I love you, majo.

Majo, you're back! Yes, luckily, things got better.

My parents and i are back in the apartment. Come on, the worst is over.

Oh. You don't know how much i missed you here because things with my mom are terrible.

She and i don't work out. Relax, okay?

You know you can count on me. Oh, friend.

Ever since diego broke up with me, i feel so alone. And it feels so good to have my friends close.

I love you. Hello.

- - iván. It's good that you're back.

Hey, morning coffee wasn't the same without you. I missed you too.

I mean, i missed the little routines, the coffee, seeing each other every day. I feel like it's been an eternity since i last saw you.

Yes. Well, the truth is, me too.

And you only missed the coffee? No.

I missed you too. Hello, my love.

Good morning. Good morning.

And now? You're preparing breakfast?

What time does consuelo arrive or what? Actually, she didn't leave, she stayed overnight.

Oh. And why is that?

Uh, she finished working very late last night and i asked her to stay. Mmm.

Good morning. - good morning.

- good morning, consuelo. Oh, no, listen.

No, no, no. Move over there.

I'll take care of breakfast. I'm almost done, consuelo, don't worry.

Consuelo, consuelo, leave it. Leave it, come.

That way you and i can talk for a bit. Come, i want to apologize for the horrible scene i put you through the other day.

Truly, from the bottom of my heart, i apologize. I propose something to you.

You and i partners in this house. What do you mean partners?

Uh-huh, yes, in everything. In the house, with the kids.

With joaquin. What's more, you know what?

I think you and i could be great friends. I can see us now.

So, without my presence, you're on the verge of resigning. Good thing i came back.

See how you've already changed my day? You made me laugh.

You have that gift, iván. If i were you, i'd charge for it.

In fact, you could become a millionaire with this. An extra income wouldn't hurt right now.

Especially with olga's bail issue, the lawyer's fees. You have no idea the debt she left me with joaquín.

I'm sorry. And how is she?

Hmm, strangely refreshed. She got out of jail and it seems like she came out of a spiritual retreat.

But that's good, right? I don't know, i don't know.

I have my doubts. Even so, you know?

I prefer the old olga. The one who lives 10,000 kilometers away.

You're killing me. I need you to understand one thing, romina.

I don't want you to see iván anymore, please. Uh, you know what?

I have to go now. It's just that kassandra asked me to do a lot of things and then i have to take it to the mansion because she told me she wasn't coming today.

Do you think so? Okay, and you're no longer afraid to go out alone?

A little. But everything will be fine.

I hope so. - well.

- no. You're not going anywhere alone, i'll take you.

No, it's not necessary. Really.

Besides, you also have things to do, right? - what?

Didn't you know? - what?

Human resources called me. They assigned me as the receptionist's driver.

Ivan. So?

What do you say, consuelo? Let's see if i understood correctly.

You want us to be friends. Exactly.

Today could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship between you and me. Very good, consuelo.

Oh, my love. What do you think of this new duo?

- don't you think it's fabulous? - well, i really love the new one, two.

I'll take number two, i'll take the two because number one is all yours. Thank you.

See? We've already started on the right foot.

Go on, then. We're going to be a great team, you and i, i promise you.

I'll continue here with breakfast. - go on, go on.

- yes, stay calm. Thank you.

You're welcome. Uh, my love, and where is everyone?

You said you had a full house. Mmm, it emptied out last night.

Claudia went back with her mom and my niece, iván and olga went back to my house. Ah, so that means i can come back now.

You see, we said we were going to wait a little bit for things to calm down. Welcome, kassandra.

Oh, my love, you make me so, so happy. The breakfast was delicious.

Yes, yes. You'll tell me when you try it.

Claudia, claudia. - are you keeping count for eight?

- no. No, you go.

No, i'm swamped. - okay.

- good morning. Are you coming down for breakfast?

Yes, i'm coming right now. What's up?

I thought you weren't here. Oh, there's no high school today because of the teachers' meeting.

So, claudia went to work. Oh, you got a message.

Thanks, i'll check it now. It's probably claudia.

Why would it definitely be her? She's dying to see you.

I know, if you're going to the company, why don't you stop by the bar to say hello? No, no, no.

I'd rather not see her. I don't want to confuse her either, right?

I mean, we already broke up, and it's definitive. But she's very sad, diego.

Claudia is not doing well. What do you think?

That's not my problem anymore. Are you really feeling better?

Mmm? Oh, you're a champion.

I can stay so you don't feel alone, son. I'll be fine, mom.

Hmm? Relax.

Go on, go to work. Most likely rebe will come later.

Son, do you love that girl? Uh, she's nice.

I like her. Yes, but that's not what i asked you.

When you're with her, your eyes don't sparkle like when i see you with valeria. Mom, i'm really not going to have this conversation with you.

But valeria is the girl you really like, isn't she? What does that matter?

Whatever happened between her and me is over. It's over, he's dead.

And are you sure about that? Look, son.

There are races you lose and, well, that's it, it's over. But with love, if it's real, it's worth running until the end.

Even if it seems like you've already lost. That's the hardest race and the most important one.

Believe me, afterwards you can't turn back time. Hmm?

Who did you love more? My dad or claudia's dad?

Well, there are loves that make you happy and... And others that hurt you forever.

With one, i dreamed of a life that, well, could never happen. And with the other i learned to survive without him.

Listen to your heart, son. Don't run the wrong way.

Hmm? I love you.

Me too. What would have become of your life?

Let us pray today, brothers, for those who feel they walk alone. Let us pray for mothers who fight for their children.

- thank you. - for grandmothers who sustain entire households.

For young people who are finding their way in a world that, sometimes, hurts more than it embraces them. Brothers, in this life, no one is superfluous.

Saint anthony, please help me get my new ball. And although sometimes, well, we think that we are not enough, right?

What an uncomfortable breakfast with kassandra here. Is she really going to live with us again?

Mmm, it seems so. Although i think this time it will be different, right?

I swear it's nothing against her, huh? But i can't see her as someone who makes my godfather happy.

I don't believe her. Well, they look happy together.

- in love. - you think so?

Well, i guess my godfather does love her after all the problems they've had, he's still there, giving her another chance. All couples have their fights, but when there's true affection a solution is always found.

It's not always possible, consuelo. Sometimes, even if you want with all your heart, love isn't enough.

Sometimes the heart breaks into so many pieces that they can't be put back together. Did that guy do something to her?

That eleazar? I trusted him, consuelo.

I truly believed that deep down he was a noble, sincere guy, but on the track i saw him for who he really is. A selfish person, a user, and the worst part is he won.

But he lost himself. Oh, miss valeria.

Sometimes, the loudest triumphs, hide very lonely defeats. It's not worth wasting time talking about him.

Thanks for that hug. I needed it.

What was truly incredible was meeting nayeli. I met your daughter, consuelo, and she's as lovely as you.

Just look at yourself, my dear, you're floating. Oh, mom, it was so beautiful, so beautiful.

I don't know how you're going to manage to style ladies because your soul is floating like a fair balloon, my dear. Oh, just let the first client arrive the first client with unruly hair and i'll settle down.

Oh, look, here i am chatting with you and i have a lot of things to do. I have to pick up your brother from church and then i have to go to the gorgontoa's house, you know, that neighborhood is really far, my daughter.

Don't worry, mom. I'll pick up the little one and take him to school.

- really? - yes.

But make sure he actually goes through the door because, do you know what that rascal does? He escapes and goes to play a quick game of soccer with his good-for-nothing friends.

Te prometo, ma, que yo misma lo llevo a la puerta. Y lo veo cruzar la entrada del conocimiento.

Ay, hija. "ta" bueno, pues.

Nos vemos, cuídate. Adiós.

No sé si me siento mal por la carrera o por las cervezas que me tomé "pa'" pasar el trago amargo. Ay, hijo.

Tengo algo muy bueno para ti. Tómate el flashlyte, ¿mmm?

- te va a caer muy bien. - gracias, tía.

Ahora sí, "m'hijo" que no sé ni qué decirte. Lo que me cuentes de la carrera sí que estuvo fuerte.

Pero confía en el señor joaquín. Believe me, he's not going to stand idly by.

No, he's going to set things straight. Well, i hope so, aunt.

Because if anyone has to be kicked out of the stable, it's eleazar. But of course, since he's the son of the head mechanic...

Okay, calm down, hugo. You focus on your own thing.

Things, when they are done wrong, they fall apart on their own. Life has a way of putting everything in its place.

Hmm? Tell me about that girl you're dating.

What did you say her name was? Nayeli.

Ah, nayeli. She's very sweet, aunt.

She has a huge heart. She supports me a lot.

She makes me laugh, she cheers me on. She's with me through thick and thin.

I swear she's worth gold. It shows in your eyes, son.

But tell me one thing. And all those feelings you had for valeria?

Because you're not going to deny it. I already understood that we're never going to happen.

Even if we run on the same track, there are differences that matter. And not just because she's rich, but because, well, vale will always see me as her best friend.

Nothing else. Oh, hugo.

Look how sadly you tell me. I won't lie to you, aunt.

It's hard for me to get her out of my heart, but i'm trying to move on. And nayeli matters more to me every day.

- no, no. And brace yourself, aunt.

- what? You won't believe who my mother-in-law is.

- who? - consuelo.

Consuelo, the consuelo from here, the one who works with you. Is consuelo your girlfriend's mom?

Uh-huh. Your daughter is the best, consuelo.

She has something very special, i don't know, like a light of her own. I really liked her.

Yes. My daughter has her own light.

She is beautiful. She is my motivation.

Because of her, i wake up every day. Because of her, i come here and work with all my heart because having her is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me in my entire life.

- can i confess something to you? - yes.

It made me a little envious because nayeli has a mom like you. Oh.

Oh, miss valeria, how sweet. Oh, how nice it feels for you to tell me that.

It feels nice to know that he appreciates me. I also felt a little strange when i found out that hugo was her boyfriend.

I don't know. I swear i was very happy to see them happy, but i realized i made a mistake.

I wish i could go back in time. Go back to that moment where maybe i should have given myself a real chance with hugo.

I chose wrong. I chose eleazar.

And believe me, there was an instant when i doubted. Yes, yes, i remember.

You told me. But i didn't dare to see what could happen with hugo.

And now the only thing i'm sure of is that i have to tear eleazar from my heart. I don't know how, consuelo, but what was between us is over forever.
