Episodio 6 – Fighting The Queen – Part 2
‘Over my dead body! You’re not marrying him anymore!’ Victoria told her daughter. As expected, the conversation between her and Alejandro didn’t go well.
Before calling his boss/mother-in-law, the young lawyer was apprehensive. He knew that she could react badly but he had to do it. He had to ask her why her behaviour had changed so much. Why she didn’t keep her word. Why she was saying everything and its contrary.
She wanted the couple to get married and was really pushing things forward. She was telling Maria she doesn’t mind baby sitting Juan so they can go out. But then, she would complain and lecture her for going out.
Once she called Alejandro and at the end of the conversation she told him that if he wasn’t sure to get married, he should step away. But few weeks later, on Valentine’s Day, she told her daughter: ‘If he proposes to you tonight, say yes.’ The young lawyer was confused.
Alejandro couldn’t understand all these changes of behaviour, her ambivalence towards him. One minute, he was the best son-in-law she could have dreamed of, the other, he wasn’t committed enough. She wanted him to stay here with her daughter but didn’t concretely do anything for that to happen.
She knew that for a wedding to happen, Alejandro needed a job and a visa. Otherwise, he would go back to Mexico and Maria would follow him with her son.
‘You cannot separate her from her family.’
‘I will have to go back to Mexico and Maria will come with me. If you were really willing to make things work you would have given me a job.’
‘So you’re saying that if I don’t give you a job, you will punish me by taking my daughter and my grandson away from me?’
‘No, I’m saying that when my visa expires I will have to go back. And of course they will follow me.’
‘Anyway you can’t leave the country without the permission of Juan’s father and I will not support you in court.’
‘I never asked for your help. I don’t need your support nor your money.I don’t trust you anymore. I don’t want you to be involved in our relationship. I don’t want you, your son or Maria’s father to keep on meddling in our relationship.’
Alejandro called Maria right away after hanging up. He told her the discussion didn’t go well and that her mother might be upset.
While they were talking, the young woman received a message from her mother saying : ‘Over my dead body! You will not marry him anymore.’
Six months after ‘you look like Paradise’, Victoria Sandoval totally reviewed her opinion on her son-in-law. The young man wondered: ‘Will Maria be strong enough to fight her mother?’

“Over my dead body”!That alone, quite excessive,this lady Vctoria!Help!Next episod??
Victoria is clearly crazy, si?
However, all leaves me wondering how/what is it that Alejandro is feeling? Does he really, truly love Maria? Or does he feel like this is just the next step he has to take in order to continue in the natural progression of life? Is this just convenient for him, or is he emotionally invested?
How is he feeling… what does HE really want when Victoria or Maria isn’t around to tell him what he should do and how he should live his life…
All these questions in my head. I hope it all works out for Alejandro, because he sounds like a good man.
Don’t worry dear, the next episodes will answer your questions God willing.
OK, look, tell Alejandro that if this drama becomes too much, he can join me here in Jeddah. It’s a drama free life here and I’m a patient, calm woman. lol
I will but please don’t use your Saudi residency as a weapon. Hahaha!
Hahaha! No weapons… just good times and the desert heat.
I think alejandro is losing his time, Vitoria is like a dictator who wants to control anyone who approaches … in fact it is better to think like her if not you are in danger… For me, Maria is too dependent on her mother and her family … if you can hear me, come home and go running to Mexico or go top visit the most beautiful destination in the world, that the world wants to come visit, you guessed it, NO NO NO It’s not Afghanistan try again, ahhhhhh yes yes yes it’s Paris !!
Are you sure you don’t want to meet me in Kabul? We can find you a nice and handsome guy there who will treat you like a queen. I’m sure he will have the best family too!
Ohhhhh Afghanistan is not too sexy for me… You know when i am watching news about Afghanistan, i hear only war war war, talibans talibans, sooo i think i prefer to find someone here or everywhere in the world if he isn’t from Afghanistan… You know, i’m not racist but someone told me people from Afghanistan are a little bit backward. Plus, some people from there are crazy and when they talk, they use a lot of bad words, like maybe euhhhhhh she will recognize herself.. Soooooooo Alejandroooooooooooooooo go far awayyyyyyyyyy :!!!
I don’t think all Afghans are like that. It depends on one’s background, education and moral sense.
Of course but i have a friend maybe he’s not lucky because he met the wrong Afghans…. 😉
