And as the saying goes the lasagna turned out delicious, grandma. I'm glad you liked it.

Next time i'm going to make you the meatballs, like the ones your dad used to like. May he rest in peace.

Don't get upset anymore, grandma. Having you is the only thing that hasn't let me fall apart all this time.

It's almost been a year and it still hurts like it was yesterday, but i don't know if i can ever get over this. Oh, grandma, it still hurts me a lot too.

But the good thing is that it brought you and me closer. What an irony, right?

Yes. When my son was alive, i barely saw you, and now instead...

Thank you, my dear, thank you for visiting me. Although i imagine that doesn't make your mom very happy, does it?

- oh, grandma. Well, the good thing is that you're not like her.

You did inherit the best of my son. You are a girl...

You are polite, you are noble, you are honest, you have values. I have to go now, grandma.

But how? No, no, what about dessert?

Sorry, but i have to do homework, but next time i'll come to enjoy the dessert, the meatballs, everything. Of course.

- okay. - goodbye, then.

God bless you. - i love you.

- i love you more. Bye.

So what? How did it go with your grandma?

Good. Let's see, let's see what you brought me, come on, let's see.

Wow. Wow, i do remember this one.

That magpie used it at all the sunday meals. Don't call my grandma that, okay, mom?

Oh, forgive me, my adored mother-in-law. Even if you make fun of her, my grandma is very cool with me.

Every time i go she always tries to please me in everything. She doesn't deserve for me to take advantage of her.

You're wrong. She deserves the worst, or what?

Don't you remember how badly she treated us when your dad was alive? Enough, mom, i'm tired of hearing the same thing.

The problems were between you, not with me. Now you're going to take her side.

That's not it. My mother-in-law treated me very badly and your dad never had the character to defend me.

Don't speak badly of my dad. If today we live in this pigsty, it's his fault.

He got into a thousand economic debts and your grandmother with all the money she has never helped us. But with these little rings and these little bracelets we can pay for everything, right?

- stealing, you mean. Oh, come on, romina, when your grandmother dies, you're going to be the one who inherits everything that is her fortune.

So we're practically staying with a loan of what will be yours. It even matches me, right?

Romina, can i help you with something? Thanks, nuria, but...

... I don't think anyone can help me.

Look, sometimes we believe that our problems are unique and have no solution, but that's not the case. In fact, talking and venting helps to release them.

Well... ...

They're pressuring me to do something i don't want to do. How?

Is there someone who is harassing you? - no, no, no, that's not it.

- hello. Hello, how are you?

That's not it, but... ...

They're forcing me to... To deceive the person i love the most.

To betray her. Well, if we can help you with anything, please tell us, okay?

Thank you. I think the best thing is to put a stop to that person, right?

That person has no idea that i'm the worst. And that dress?

Doesn't it look great on me? You ask me to steal from my grandmother because we have a thousand debts and you spend the money on clothes?

But, my love, let me explain. What happens is that i bought this for something very special.

For what? I know i should have told you before.

Come on, mom, tell me. I'm getting married.

What? What?

Wait, how are you getting married? To whom?

I mean, you never told me you were dating someone. - let me explain.

Explain what? My dad hasn't been dead for a year, and you're already going to marry someone else?

Who is he? How long have you known him?

It's aníbal. Is he your boss?

But it's not what you're thinking. I never disrespected your dad, no.

On the contrary. It was aníbal who behaved like a true gentleman when andrés died and i, well...

No, no, no. No, no, that can't be true.

Besides, that man is an old man. Well, yes, but he has a lot of money.

And that's what we need. We're finally going to be able to get out of this pigsty.

What's more, you won't even have to steal from your grandma anymore. No, on the contrary.

With aníbal you're going to have everything you want. Are you marrying for money?

Out of necessity, which is different, so that we both have everything we need. But isn't that selling yourself as if you were a...?

Don't you ever disrespect me again! Your dad is already dead and i have every right to rebuild my life.

And i'm not going to let this opportunity pass. I'm not going to support you.

And if you're going to live with that man, well, i don't want to live with you. I'd rather go with my grandma.

Well, too bad. You'll have to put up with it.

Because as long as you're a minor, you're not going anywhere. And whether you like it or not, you're going to have to accept aníbal.

- never! My mom is getting married in a week.

What do you mean she's getting married? But not even a...

Has passed. I know, grandma.

And why didn't you tell me she was seeing someone? Since when?

I didn't know either. It's mr.

Quiroz. The owner of the real estate company where she works.

Well, then... How good that she was able to overcome andrés' death.

I imagine that man must have a lot of money, right? Yes.

And he's older than her and a widower. Well, how lucky, right?

She got what she couldn't have with my son. Someone to give her the level of life she always wanted to have.

Gee, grandma. I swear that man will never replace my dad.

He's just going to be the husband of my mom. Nothing more.

Thank you, my love. I'm going to the bathroom.

Yes, yes, go. Well, then i'll prepare a lunch for the meatballs for you, okay?

Wow. (panting) my earrings.

The earrings. The earrings i was going to wear!

My grandmother's earrings? It's weird that you didn't sell them, like the other jewels.

No, because i saved them to wear today at my wedding. And i'm sure i put them here.

Well, you said it. They were there.

Did you take them? Well, since now you're going to have money, i returned them to my grandmother.

You did what? At least i could return something of everything we stole from her.

What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?

You can buy whatever you want with what you get from mr. Anibal.

But those earrings are my grandmother's. Why are you doing this to me, huh?

What do you want? To ruin the moment for me?

Wretch! (screams) you're stupid.

Look what you did. Forgive me, forgive me, no, no.

You ruined it. You ruined my dress.

You're the only person i have. The only one i can lean on.

But i see i can't count on you. Okay, mom.

I'm going to support you. Forgive me.

No, go away! Go away, you're ungrateful.

And i do everything for you. Come in.

Come in. Welcome.

I'm going to ask you a favor. I want you to feel that this is your home from today.

Oh, thank you, honey. It's beautiful.

Welcome, ma'am. She is jovita.

My lifelong employee. Although for me she is already family.

I'm here to serve you. - come in, come in.

- go ahead. Romina, i know all this has taken you by surprise and maybe it's a little rushed, but i just want you to know that i love your mom.

Oh, of course. And hopefully, hopefully i also earn your trust and affection.

- what were you saying? - my love, of course.

That romina already knows that you are a great man. Thank you.

Come in. Thank you, mr.

Aníbal, but please don't pressure me. Yes, it was a surprise.

Good. Look, romina, i don't intend to replace your dad, but i would love for you to take the place of...

Someone very dear to me, but who unfortunately betrayed my trust. But of course, yes.

From today, my daughter and i are going to be your family. Thank you.

How's it going with what you told me, romi? Great.

Everything is solved now. I don't have to keep deceiving anyone.

Oh, really? That's great, i'm very happy.

Oh, thank you very much. Hello, welcome.

Can i offer you something to drink? No, i'll just have an americano, but it's not very expensive, is it?

Oh, no, don't worry. Look, i'll tell don tomás and we can give you...

No, nuria, don't worry, i'll treat him. - oh, no, how embarrassing.

- do you like empanadas? We have beef, corn, cheese, chicken.

- one of each. - perfect.

I'll get your empanadas and your coffee. Thank you.

Hey, really, thank you very much. You're welcome, i do it with pleasure.

Ah, diego, my name is diego. Romina, do you live in this area?

Yes, well, no, i have... Cell phone rings i have family around here.

Sorry, but i have to go now, i arranged to see my grandmother, but don't worry, i'll leave everything paid for, ok? - thank you very much.

- see you. I don't want you to keep visiting your grandmother.

Ah, of course, because you no longer need me to rob her. Shut up, don't say that here again.

Well, whether you like it or not, i'm going to keep seeing my grandmother. You should put all your attention on aníbal.

He's also alone, he only has us. So we have to get our act together so he includes us in his will before anything happens.

How can you say that, mom? Aníbal has a condition in his heart and we don't know when he might leave us.

Did you know that? Is that why you got married?

I can't believe it. Romina, come here.

Shut your mouth and come here. Today i have to forget you and a phrase remains in your place it's what the one who learned said that to love is time wasted if it's not reciprocated where there was love the ashes remained in my heart i know there's no one blinder than the one who doesn't want to see because if someone said it it becomes a saying it becomes part of your path it becomes a truth because if someone said it it carries the tears of a truth that time will not erase will not erase what is said, is said because if someone said it it becomes a saying it becomes part of your path it becomes a truth because if someone said it it carries the tears of a truth that time will not erase will not erase what is said, is said jovita.

Can you tell me what the hell you're doing here? Sir, calm down, don't get angry.

Listen to him. My love, but what's wrong?

Calm down. Who is this boy?

It's diego, my grandson. Thank you.

Why didn't you tell me you had a grandson? Because for me he was already dead.

Dead, why do you say that? After my son and daughter-in-law died, i took care of diego.

I tried to compensate for the lack of his parents by giving him everything, but... Never mind.

That was my big mistake. Giving him everything and not setting limits.

And when i tried to do it, he ended up assaulting and robbing me. Me.

His own grandfather, irma. That's why, with all the pain in my soul, i reported him.

And i didn't hear from him again until now. And i don't want him in my house again.

Oh, calm down, my love. Calm down, it's going to hurt you.

My boy, you're finally here. Why didn't you tell me you were going out?

Well, i was afraid and i didn't know how my grandfather was going to react if i spoke, so well, that's why i decided to come. And thank you, jovita, because you didn't abandon me and you were going to visit me and you brought me my things.

You know that mr. Aníbal forbade me to.

And you know very well that what you did was very wrong, but i wasn't going to leave you alone in that place. Let me take this to your grandfather.

What did you come back for? To rob me again?

To hurt me? Grandfather, forgive me, i...

You're the worst! I'm never going to forgive you for what you did to me.

Are you okay? I'm so sorry for what happened.

How's my grandfather? Better.

My mom is already with him. All this...

... I brought it on myself.

Jovita already told me. When i saw you at the cafe, you were coming from...

The juvenile detention center. And that's why i didn't have money and only what a friend gave me.

The upset you caused your grandfather almost cost him his life. I'm sorry.

He doesn't want to see you, so as you can understand, the best thing is for you to leave. Ma'am, the young man has nowhere to go.

Stay out of it. Mom, jovita is right.

We can't leave diego on the street. I'm not going to contradict aníbal.

And much less am i going to cause him another upset. Please, diego, leave and i don't want to see you around here again.

No, no, diego, don't go. Romina.

Mom, everyone makes mistakes. Mr.

Aníbal has to understand that. Mom, he's his grandson.

Who almost killed him twice. And the first time was intentional.

Mom. Look, ma'am, i'm not going to justify myself.

I was rebellious and i didn't like following rules. And i know very well that what i did was wrong.

And that's why i'm here. No, no, i don't think that's why.

You came back because you have nowhere to go. And it was easy for you to come back and take advantage of him again.

But guess what? Now your grandfather is not alone.

He has me to take care of him and protect him from what is not good for him. Jovita, accompany him to the door.

No, jovita. First i'm going to talk to mr.

Aníbal. You have nothing to talk to him about.

So... So don't upset him.

- romina. - mom, leave me alone.

Come here. I'm not going to defend her grandson.

You're absolutely right to be angry with him. He could have killed me.

Diego has already paid for what he did. And he deserves another chance.

Think that if you don't give it to him, it's harder for him to get it somewhere else. Look, he at least had the courage to look for you.

To offer you an apology. And i'm sure you still love him.

He's your only grandson. You're right.

Come. I have a deep pain for what he did to me but i have never stopped loving him.

Thank you for making me see it. May i give you a hug?

Of course. My little one.

What the hell is in your head? How can you take the side of that criminal?

Sorry, what are we? Don't compare.

You don't even know that boy. Surely he's worse than aníbal says.

And more now with all those tricks that he must have learned in the juvenile detention center. Well, i don't think he's a bad kid.

And deep down i did a good thing for mr. Aníbal, for both of them.

After everything that happened, they still love each other. And have you thought that that is precisely the problem?

Aníbal could have left us as the only heirs in his will but now with the arrival of the grandson everything can change. - that's all you care about!

- well, yes! Because that's why i sacrificed myself by marrying that old man.

And don't you realize? You turn against me when all the sacrifices i make are for the good of both of us.

For your own good, mom, you're the one who wants the money! That was always the main problem you had with my dad.

You were never happy with anything! Shut up!

From the time i spent in the juvenile detention center, i never stopped thinking about you, grandpa. And all the damage i did to you.

And the one you did to yourself, diego. But i was also to blame for trying to cover the lack of your parents with money.

When they died, you were the only thing i had left. And i behaved like a jerk.

And that's why i want to be a better person, grandpa. Facts, not words.

Words don't last, they're carried away by the wind, diego. - can i sit down?

- sure. Uh...

Well... I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me.

First the coffee and now my grandfather. Well, the important thing is that you were able to talk and that you're going to do your part to earn his trust again.

I hope so. And also your mom's, who doesn't seem to trust me much.

But she cares a lot about my grandfather. You don't know how happy i am to see the family together again.

That's right, my love. My love, how good that you gave diego the opportunity to stay with us.

Diego, i want you to know that you not only have aníbal's support. But also mine.

Thank you very much, ma'am. And where are you going to look for work?

I really don't know, with my record, it's not easy at all. What is true is that in the tutelar i learned a lot about repairs and computers.

And why don't you have him help felipe? Who is felipe?

Felipe does the repairs on the apartments we rent out. I mean, if you don't mind learning to repair pipes or electrical installations.

No, no, not at all, grandpa. I'm very good at learning and what i don't know, i learn quickly.

I'm very glad you came to tell me about that boy but i'm worried about him being in jail. He's not a criminal, grandma, he's sorry for what he did.

That's why he's working. And tell me, do you like that boy?

Oh, you don't have to answer me, your face said it all. He's very handsome and he's very cool.

Hey, and what does your mom say? She doesn't like him, she doesn't trust him.

Look, now it's her turn. You were a little rude to my mom.

Never make a judgment about what you don't know, my love. Well, then tell me, why did they have such a bad relationship when my dad was alive?

Guess what? For dessert, i bought you the ice cream you wanted.

- your backpack! - give it to me.

What do you mean they stole it? Well, that's what he told me, that they snatched his backpack.

Just when i was on my way to the bank to deposit the money. But why did you allow diego to make that deposit?

Why? Well, because i didn't have the time to do it.

And well, who better than him, he's your grandson, he's trustworthy, supposedly, right? Although it seems very strange to me that they would have snatched it from him precisely.

It's very strange, don't you think? Mom, it wasn't his fault, he was robbed.

Romina, thank you, but i could defend myself. Ma'am, i swear to you that...

No, no, don't swear anything to me. I trusted you, that's why i entrusted you with something so important.

Do you know how much money was in that envelope? It was the pay for the whole month for the staff that works with us.

Ma'am, i didn't know there was so much... I'm sorry, diego, but aníbal wants you to leave.

- no. - and now don't interfere.

Aníbal is very upset about this, don't make the situation worse. Wait, what do you mean my grandfather is very upset?

I need to go up and see him. No, no, no, you can't bother him.

What do you mean no, ma'am? He's my grandfather, i want to know how he is.

He's upset because of you, we both trusted you and you failed us. Mom, he was robbed.

Well, aníbal doesn't think so. What do you mean he doesn't think so?

He thinks you stole the money. Ma'am, i wouldn't be capable of doing something like that.

Well, you already did it once, right? - mom...

- don't interfere. This thing about you being robbed is very strange.

I've sent felipe a thousand times to deposit and nothing like that has ever happened to him. And look, i only ask you and you just get robbed.

Leave, diego. Or i'm going to have to call the police.

No, no, no. Look, ma'am, you don't have to call the police either, okay?

Well, be grateful that i'm not going to file a complaint. With your background, you're sure to stay in jail for a good while.

So get out of this house right now. Get out.

He no longer trusted me, grandfather now with this, well, even less. You told us that your stepmother...

My grandfather's wife. Your grandfather's wife, didn't like you.

How bad that she didn't defend you. Are you saying that she was the one who asked you to deposit the money?

Do you think irma...? I don't know, but if she didn't want you in the house...

As the saying goes, with cunning and reflection the occasion is taken advantage of. Why did you put a lock on it?

Because i don't want anyone bothering aníbal. From now on, the only ones who are going to enter that room are jovita and i.

How is your grandfather doing? I don't know.

How? Haven't you gone to see him?

Yes, but his wife doesn't let me into the house. She says my grandfather doesn't want to see me and i send messages to his phone and he doesn't even read them.

Hello, diego. Well, there's no rush for you to do the errand right now.

I'll see you later, okay? Excuse me.

Thank you. How are you?

Well, bad. The truth is, i think your mom set me up.

What? Yes, come on, romina, don't play dumb.

She sent someone to rob me. How can you say that?

Do you have proof? Romina, two plus two is four, okay?

And i mean, it's okay that you defend your mom, she's your mom, but maybe you're like her and you just want to take advantage of my grandfather. You're an idiot!

I don't need anything from your grandfather. I was an idiot for worrying about you!

Don't touch me. I know you had nothing to do with the robbery.

But you know what? Now i don't care what happens to you.

My girl, what happened? What happened?

What's wrong? Well, tell me.

That my mom wouldn't do anything bad, grandma. What are you talking about?

About... About diego.

What's wrong with him, my dear? What's wrong?

I think she was the one who organized the whole plan to have him robbed. Oh, no.

Oh, my girl. Oh, grandma, please, tell me it's not true.

Days ago you asked me why i never got along with her. I think it's time you knew the truth.

Oh, my dear, look. Since i met your mom, i knew she wasn't with my son for love.

She was with him for money. You can tell when people are social climbers and ambitious.

Why didn't my dad do anything? Well, because my son was in love with her.

He couldn't see beyond what he wanted to see. But, your mom didn't take long to show her claws, as they vulgarly say.

And once they got married, well, she started demanding more and more from him. It wasn't just money, she also wanted trips, clothes, furniture.

Oh, my poor son, stupid in love. He let himself be manipulated and started to get into debt.

So, that's why they argued all the time. You know, at first, well, i tried to support them in everything i could.

But, there came a time when your mom's shamelessness got on my nerves. And well, i decided not to support them.

That's why my mom couldn't stand you and didn't want to come to your house. Not only that, she also manipulated my son to turn him against me.

And the poor thing, well, he didn't have the courage... And what happened, grandma?

Well, look, here's the truth that i didn't want you to know. But, read it.

No. Cries grandma.

No. Diego, what are you doing here?

Jovita, i need to see my grandfather. Oh, son, you know those are the lady's orders.

No one can go in to see him, only she and i. Don't do this to me, son.

You know what she's like. I know, jovita, and that's why i came now that she's not here.

But, please, i need to see my grandfather. He spends most of his time asleep.

Grandpa. Forgive me for having hurt you so much, but i promise you that i'm going to change.

He asks about you a lot. Diego.

Romina, my grandfather wasn't like this. This is your mom's fault.

Son, calm down. Leave him, jovita.

What are you doing? You were right.

I think my mom was the one who ordered you to be robbed. Music don't worry, i have a friend who can help us but if, as you suspect, these medications are placebo, it would be a very serious crime, romina.

I know. And if so, i'm going to have to sue my mom.

She's going to have to pay the consequences. Yes, i'll keep this.

And as soon as i know something, i'll let you know, okay? Well, i'll let you know.

Excuse me. Thank you.

I never imagined you would do that. That you wouldn't take your mom's side.

My mom wasn't what i thought. And i'm not going to let her hurt your grandfather.

Just like she did with... With my dad.

Anibal, my love, wake up. It's time for your medications, sweetheart.

Let's see, let's see. So you'll be completely healthy soon, darling.

Oh, by the way, i need you to sign this for me, my love. Look.

Here it is. Let's see, let's see.

What are you doing, mom? What's wrong, romina?

Wanting to strip diego of what belongs to him to benefit us? Shut up!

I'm not going to let you keep taking advantage of him. I'm not going to let you do the same thing you did to my dad.

What the hell are you talking about? I already know he didn't fall from the construction by accident.

I already know he jumped. What are you saying?

Where did you get that? My grandmother gave me this letter he gave her.

Before taking his own life. No, that's not true.

That's an invention of that harpy. She'll never leave me alone.

That's why she invented that lie for you. Come on, mom, stop lying.

It's my dad's handwriting. He was already fed up with all your demands.

Depressed by all the debts, he wanted to fake an accident so we could collect the insurance. No, no, it's not like that.

That's not true. Don't listen to her, my love.

Mom, stop lying. And the worst of all is that you were able to change mr.

Aníbal's medications. What are you talking about?

Are you crazy? Don't listen to her, my love, don't pay attention to her.

Yeah, mom, stop lying. I already sent the medications to be analyzed.

They already confirmed it in a laboratory. Irma.

Mom. I did it for us.

I'm sorry, but you're going to have to pay for what you did. No, you can't turn me in.

But i can, ma'am. I already filed the report for the false accusation of theft.

And not only that, but also for attempted murder by changing my grandfather's medication. My mom is going to be in jail because of me.

No, my love, she's going to be there because of her ambition, because of her actions. She's never going to forgive me.

But you did the right thing. Look, she didn't kill your dad, but she almost did with that man.

I don't think i can live with this guilt. You're going to get over it, i'm going to be by your side to support you.

Time will tell, my love. I don't deserve it.

I haven't been honest with you either. Are you saying that because of the jewelry you were taking?

You knew? Of course, but i never complained.

You know, if in exchange for those jewels i could have you here for a few hours, the truth is, i didn't care. After my son's death, nothing material has value for me anymore.

I did it because she asked me to. But i swear i didn't want to, that i was sorry.

I know that too, my love, i saw you. Please, forgive me.

For what? Oh, grandma.

Come here. I'm so sorry about your mom.

Thank you, nuria. It hurts me a lot to know that i'll only be able to see her in jail now.

Not just anyone would dare to testify against their own mother. Unfortunately, what happened, happened.

So you are... Sara, at your service.

On the contrary, i am at your service. Thank you very much.

Thank you for all the support, pedro. My pleasure.

- hello. - diego.

How are you doing, grandpa? His heart weakened a lot because he didn't take his medicine, but here we go.

Your mom is going to be okay, even if she's in that place. It's unfortunate that she ended up like this.

But all because of following that saying that says: with cunning and reflection the occasion is taken advantage of. Singer as the saying goes there is no evil that lasts 100 years much better to be alone than in bad company as the saying goes life gives you surprises, a tree that is born crooked never straightens its branch
