Miguel had been away long enough searching for his poor Charity. He had gotten a job as a gardener to make ends meet. He would occasionally send some to Kay for Maria. He was on his selfish quest to find the love of his life. He knew that Kay would be there for him always. He knew that he could go on years searching for Charity and Kay would remain faithful to him. He knew this because he was a Lopez-Fitzgerald. His father had left his mother and she remained faithful. History would most certainly repeat it self.
He finally found Charity only to have his heart broken. She had found true love with John Hastings. He could not believe it when she told him that she was in love with John. She had asked him to please stop pursuing her. He felt anger and wanted to beat John up for snatching Charity away from him. He almost did until he looked in Charity's eyes and seen true love for her one and only John. He decided to return to harmony after 5 long years in the waiting arms of his second best, Kay.
"Welcome home Mijo" Pilar said embracing her son in her arms. I am so happy you decided to return home. How is Charity, did you find her?
Yes, Mama. She is living in California and she is in love with another man.
Ay, Dios Mio!
"I know Mama, She is in love with John Hastings. She really loves him Mama. I had to come back. She asked me to please leave them alone and let them live their lives, but you know what Mama. I am happy that you and I have kept in touch all this years. It makes it easier knowing that I have a family to come home to. I decided on my way here that I am finally going to do right by Kay. I am going to make her my wife. I guess I will make Kay's dreams come true." Miguel said a little to sure of him self.
Pilar looked at him with a disgusted face. She could not believe that her son could be so cocky. She knew Martin had been that way but she never thought that Miguel would have inherited his characteristics.
"Mijo, you should not be that way. I know Kay will accept you back, because she has only loved you, but don't you realize that if Charity would have never ended up in Harmony you would have been with Kay. You had said yourself that you had liked Kay and was about to confess your true feelings to her. When Charity came to town you pushed Kay away and made her second best. Think about it Mijo, be nice to Kay. Don't just go back with her because you feel she is the only option. Go to her because you feel the same way she does. Otherwise don't marry her. You both will end up hurt in the end" Pilar said hoping that she had made sense to Miguel.
Miguel was angry that his mom was right. He gave his mother a hug and said he was going to his room to rest.
Pilar sat on the sofa in her living room and thought "I really hope that Miguel finds out his true feelings fast before Kay gives up and moves on. She has after all become a beautiful woman. I don't think Miguel even realizes how many men have been after Kay.
