At night...
Gronda goes to him aunt's house, I call him for something urgent, when she enters she finds everything dark... then.
Luisa Avelar/El Elegido/Estrellita: "Surprise!"
It was a surprise party for Gronda.
Luisa Avelar: "Do you have something to say, Arturo?"
Gronda: "What are we celebrating?"
Little Star: "He forgot."
Luisa Avelar: "It's your birthday, Arturo, even if you pretend to be someone who doesn't remember."
Gronda is glad to see Estrellita and Elegido.
Estrellita: "He gets lost in his thoughts, right Arturo?".
Gronda: "Hello Bibiana, hello Elegido. Estrellita, how is the play going? Your absence in AAA is notorious, but the criticism is good."
Estrellita: "It's going very well, I'm not complaining."
El Elegido: "It's brilliant."
Estrellita: "That's adding a lot to him, it's that he sent me roses."
El Elegido: "I sent you messages, where were you?".
Gronda: "I've been very busy."
El Elegido: "Taking pictures of the Power Ranger?...how is he?".
Luisa Avelar: "I think there is no need to talk about the red patrol car, now let's go have something to eat."
Estrellita: "I'll heat up the birria."
Gronda: "Elegido, how's work going at RamCorp?"
El Elegido: "Great, now I direct special projects, in fact now there is something important in fusion."
Luisa Avelar: "That's fabulous, your father would be proud, may he rest in peace."
El Elegido: "I sponsor one of our own, your rumored partner in the tournament, Arturo, Chessman."
Gronda: "Chessman, really?"
El Elegido: "I know."
Gronda: "He always said that he had brilliant ideas in mind, but he never thought that he would make them happen."
El Elegido: "Neither do I, now he has a presentation coming soon, if you want I can tell him to talk to you tomorrow."
Gronda: "That would be very good for me."
El Elegido: "Of course, Chessman has promised to give RamCorp a place that not even my father would have thought of in his life."
Estrellita helps Luisa in the kitchen, but she always looks at Gronda out of the corner of her eye.
El Elegido: "She is yours."
Gronda: "What do you say?".
El Elegido: "Please, the way she looks at you or she pretends not to look at you, it's pretty obvious."
Gronda: "No, I don't have time for relationships right now."
El Elegido: "Are you crazy?"
Gronda: "Busy."
El Elegido: "Photographing your friend?".
Gronda: "Elegido, let's leave the subject for peace, let's be friends as we always have been, we must have confidence."
El Elegido: "Just answer me this, if you knew who he is... would you tell me?".
Gronda doesn't respond to that.
El Elegido: "Arturo, you don't understand what I feel, I want him dead...just like you want the one who killed Enrique dead."
El Elegido gets up, he is euphoric.
El Elegido: "Sorry, I don't want to bother you on your birthday, you are my friend, my father always loved you, you were like part of our family, you were like a second son."
A lot of feeling comes to Elegido when he sees a photo of the anniversary party in which he, Gronda and Rafael go out. Gronda tries to cheer him up.
Gronda: "Thank you friend."
Then Luisa and Estrellita come in with a cake with candles and sing the mornings, Gronda turns them off. Later, when everyone has left, Luisa fell asleep, Gronda reads a letter that says eviction notice.
Gronda: "Louise."
Louise wakes up.
Luisa Avelar: "Enrique?...oh, sorry, I dreamed in the past, has everyone left, did you have a good time?"
Gronda: "Yes, I think so, are you okay?"
Luisa Avelar: "Yes, I think so, you should go home now... I'm glad none of you drink, especially you with that motorcycle that I don't like."
Gronda: "It's because you worry me, you're so lonely...I saw that letter from the bank."
Luisa Avelar: "So what?...no way, too bad you saw it, I'm a little late, it happens to everyone, I don't want to keep talking about it. I'm tired and you have to go."
Luisa takes money.
Luisa Avelar: "Here you are, son, happy birthday."
Gronda: "Oh, no aunt, what a shame."
Luisa Avelar: "Of course you do, you need them more than me, you can always accept money from me...damn, I know it's not much!...but...".
Luisa wants to cry, but she resists.
Luisa Avelar: "And don't think about leaving it here, because I'll know."
Louisa looks down.
Luisa Avelar: "Sorry, but I miss your uncle Enrique so much, can you believe it?... Next month will be two years since he died, it makes me wonder, if I knew the person responsible for what happened, me?... .I don't know what I would do."
It is a feeling that haunts Gronda every night.
Luisa Avelar: "Don't leave your cake."
