The months passed and Mariano and Mirabel continued to have dates from time to time. La señora Guzman saw her son go out more often, in addition to being more animated and it could even be said that he looked "in love", until one day Mariano came home excited after having made some important purchases in the morning.

-Mamá, I'm going the Madrigal's house, I have a proposal to make- said Mariano smiling on his way to his room

La señora Guzman went to her son's room and watched her son fix his shirt while humming a song
-I knew it!! I knew you would make the right decision and you would go back to her and marry Dolores- his mother said excited

-Mother, I'm not going to propose to Dolores- Mariano said fixing his shirt looking at the mirror

-What? Then to whom will you propose marriage...Isabela? -said his mother worried about him because the last time he tried, it did not come out very well

-It's not Isabela, it's her sister -Mariano said calmly

-Qué, Luisa ?! Do you want to marry Luisa?!- His mother asked

-No mamá, is not Luisa...I mean Mirabel, I want to propose to Mirabel- said Mariano, tired of his mother's questions

-From all the gifted ones you choosed the one who doesn't have a gift?!- said his mother exasperated and that was enough to make the kind and calm Mariano angry

-Don't talk about her like that- he said turning around to see his mother

-Mariano Guzman qué clase de forma es esa de hablarle así a tu madre- his mother scolded -I just want to know why you choose her-

-I'm not choosing her out of her sisters or cousins...I'm not choosing HER, I want HER to choose me!!...I want to be part of her life, why can't you understand that?!- said Mariano sad and irritated

La señora Guzman was shocked, her son has never talked like that to anyone before and she has never actually seen him mad as how he was now
-Oh Cariño...I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you or make you mad...I just wanted what was best for you- she said looking ashamed reaching for her son

-Well I can say she is what's best for me, she makes me happy just by existing and being there for me- said Mariano letting his mother hug him and his mother understood at that moment that Mirabel managed to take the definitive place in the heart of her son.

-Mariano...come with me, there is something I want to give you- his mother said leading the way out of her son's room

They arrived at La señora Guzman's room and she entered letting her son pass and indicated him to sit on the small armchair in the room. La señora Guzman took the jewelry box that she had on her nightstand and opening it, she took out a golden chain necklace that had in the middle the figure of a golden butterfly -I want you to give this to Mirabel apart from the ring- she said, handing over the necklace in her son's hands -... it was a gift from your father, he told me that when you find the person you would give everything for, I should give it to you- she said smiling warmly at her son who was looking at her surprised -I really want you to be happy my boy-

Mariano got up from his place and hugged his mother warmly -I will be happy mom, I promise- he said smiling determined
