Alejandro Vargas - Another Family

It all started one afternoon at a taco stand. A flirtation led to a love affair lasting years. Everything was wonderful. Alejandro and you had a home, warm and full of love. Full of promises of eternal love. Nights of passion. Dinner conversations and jokes. Long phone calls. Flirting while cooking, and even plans to start a family.

But it all ended somewhere along the years. Now his side of the bed was cold. You ate dinner alone almost all the time. The kitchen, like the house, was cold, and the plans simply remained just that...plans.

10th anniversary. Alejandro promised to come, so you decided to do something different. The house had a romantic atmosphere, the smell of cooking filled the space, the table was decorated with candles and hot food. And you looked beautiful.

Yes, I arrive. Alejandro was there with you, just like in the old days, and there was no shortage of laughter. You talked for as long as you hadn't spoken.

You weren't an insecure person, much less a jealous one. But when he went to the bathroom, a text arrived on his phone. Maybe it was from work, but something told you it wasn't... Unable to help yourself, you grabbed it and opened it.

A photo from a day at the pool lit up another woman's chat. In the photo, Alejandro was smiling, holding a 3-year-old boy, and that girl by his side... The tears were quick to come.

He had another family... or maybe you were that other family? Your head spun with a thousand questions, anger, and sadness. At that moment, you heard the bathroom door open. You looked up, and before you could say a word, Alejandro saw you with his cell phone in your hand. His expression widened.

He knelt down slowly, his face pale and his eyes full of pleading, and trying to reach your hand he says: "Please... I can explain."
