Chapter 4: Mirabel's secret Novio
AN: welcome back mi amigos/amigas and welcome to another chapter to this magical adventure. I am so so sorry I have not been uploading this chapter it took a while to come to my head and I had to go back and reread my last chapter to see where I was at.
But without further ado chapter 4
It had been 3 weeks since Mirabel had been surprised by the whole gift giving situation with her whole family and Mirabel loved every single gift from each family member but especially her tio Bruno's gift. She would take the music box out from her desk drawer and play the lullaby over and over again to just relax from a very busy day.
On this particular day she had just got back from mango picking with Isabela when she suddenly bumped into Carlos Rodriguez on the way to the market to deliver the freshly picked mangos.
"Hola Mirabel". Carlos exclaimed
"Hola Carlos ." Mirabel replied
"I heard your quinces is coming up are you going to have a big celebration for it". Carlos brought up
"No maybe just a couple of amigos y La famila . I don't want to big of a party just an occasion where I get to have mi famila forn over me since they were practically begging me". Mirabel explained
"Ah si si so I am invited ". Carlos said
"Of course!" Mirabel exclaimed
"Great muchas gracias I will see you later then". Carlos replied
"Adios". Mirabel said
Meanwhile back at the house Alma was interviewing suitors for Mirabel's quinces when Bruno walked in giving Alma a stern look
"Mama what exactly are you doing ". Bruno explained
"Finding suitors for Mirabel's quinces I want to choose ones that are appropriate for her to dance with ". She exclaimed
"She doesn't need suitors she will be fine just by herself." Bruno said
"I know but I just want to look out for her ever since she saved the Miracle I have been feeling like I need to make it up for the way I treated her." Alma explained
"I know but she has said that all she needs is her family and will always be here for her okay". Bruno said sternly
"Your right Brunito ah your just like tú papa when you say stuff like that". Alma exclaimed with a smile on her face
Bruno beamed proudly at his mother. Just then Isabela came back from mango picking with Mirabel in toe and the girls were laughing about something.
"Hola Niñas how did the mango harvesting go."Alma said proudly
"Great abuela we managed to pick and harvest 249 according to Daniels counting skills". Isabela exclaimed
"Ese excelente ". Alma replied
"Tell me about it Daniel did not stop flirting with Mirabel the whole time". Dolores suddenly came downstairs after talking to Antonio
"DOLORES I TOLD YOU NOT TO SAY A WORD". Mirabel said while trying to keep her composure while blushing like crazy
"Oh really ". Julieta said trying to hold back a laugh
"SI". Mirabel said as calmly as possible
Just as Mirabel was about to head upstairs Luisa blocked her from going any further.
"Ah Ah Ah not so fast we want to know all the details ". Luisa said
"Luisa Let me through". Mirabel protested
But Luisa was not having any of it that is until Camilo came with Mirabel's diary in his hand and he continued waving it in the air until he handed it to Julieta
"HOW DID YOU GET THAT . IT WAS IN MY DRAWS THE WHOLE TIME AND IT WAS LOCKED". Mirabel yelled
Just then something fell out of the diary and Pepa picked it with such care so she would not break it. It Was a flattened rose crushed by the diary's pages Mirabel kept after all this time.
"Fine ". Mirabel said while calming herself down
"Mira this is gorgeous you kept this after all this time." Pepa said whilst trying to hold back tears
"Si Daniel gave it to me on our very first date and I have kept it ever since . The only one who knew about Daniel and myself at the time was Dolores and I had to keep it a secret because I knew how you guys would react especially tio Bruno". Mirabel explained
" That's not true ". Bruno said
"Really because your eyes glow green whenever you're jealous or overprotective of me when ever I bring any boy into the situation ". Mirabel explained
Bruno blushed at Mirabel's comment he knew she was right
"Now mama if you don't mind may I please have my diary back so I can head to my room". Mirabel said politely
"Of course mi vida". Julieta said lovingly and gave it back without hesitation
Whilst Mirabel was talking quietly to Isabela Julieta gently smacked Camilo upside the head for stealing Mirabel's Diary.
~~~Later~~~
Mirabel was quietly listening to the music box humming the tune and quietly singing the words that her tio sang to her when she was little.
"Amor para mi Mariposa let the light be your guide beneath your wings and let me be the one to wish love and sweet dreams ". Mirabel sang
She was dancing happily when Bruno came and knocked on her door. Bruno could hear her sing so softly on the other side of that door and it almost made him want to cry. Mirabel heard this and answered the door.
"Hola Tio ". Mirabel said softly
"Hola Mariposa can I come in I just wanted to talk is that ok?" Bruno questioned
"Of course". Mirabel opened the door to let her tio in
"You know… I haven't heard you sing that since you were three you have a beautiful voice ". Bruno explained
"You heard me ". Mirabel said embarrassed blushing her face as red as a tomato
"Si". Bruno replied
"Muchas gracias tío and I know what you're here to talk about… It's Daniel isn't it look he is a nice guy and he takes really good care of me and I just want you to know that he will never hurt me" . Mirabel started rambling
"Woah woah woah slow down Mira yes I want to know but only to see if your okay and happy but … I also want to know if your safe".Bruno explained while trying to slow Mira down
"You are ok with this I mean I did not expect you to have that reaction but okay". Mirabel replied
Of course I am ok and happy with it as long as you're happy I am happy…BUT IF HE HURTS YOU HE WILL BE HAVING BAD VISIONS FOR THE REST OF HIS DAYS OKAY?" Bruno said calm but ferm
Muchas gracias for your support Tío and I promise if he does something hurtful to me I will let you know I promise ". Mirabel replied
"That's mi Niña now try and get some sleep you have a big day tomorrow ." Bruno said
"Bien Buenos noches ". Mirabel said
"Buenos noches Mariposa ". Bruno replied
~~~ The next morning ~~~
It was a beautiful morning in la casa Madrigal and Mirabel did not have time to rant about this morning she had to help the kids at the orphanage with Daniel so she hurriedly grabbed an arepa kissed her mama and tio on the cheek and ran out .
"You coming Amor." Daniel explained
"Coming corazón " Mirabel replied
"Have fun today and stay safe ". Bruno said
"I will tio I promise ". Mirabel replied
As he watched her leave Julieta came up from behind and padded Bruno on the back as well as giving him a quick hug
"I am proud of you hermanito you took this really well". Julieta exclaimed
"Gracias Julie Ah were did that time go one year she was at her gift ceremony and the next she has grown into a fine young woman ". Bruno sighed
"I know hermano but I am proud of her… she has just grown but she will always be our girl and I am proud of her I really am". Julieta sighed
"Me too Julie me too". Bruno agreed
