No Looking Back
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
Veronica Garcia is an excellent pediatrician, 27 years old, besides her husband, her career and her friend are the most important things she has in this world, since her parents died in a plane crash 9 years ago. Since college she has been in love with Santos Riquehiros, a handsome surgeon, she never thought that the man would notice her and much less that from one moment to another he would propose marriage. But when she heard the proposal, she was the happiest woman in the world and believed that the marriage would be full of love and complicity. However, in the oppressive silence of her home, Veronica Garcia found herself trapped in an emotional labyrinth, where each day she faded a little more, because the years they had shared together had become a shadow, marked by the absence of caresses and sweet words. For Veronica, loneliness was her only companion, and each empty gaze from Santos was a painful reminder of what she lacked. Santos Riquehiros, as we had said, is a renowned 30-year-old surgeon, for him his career and his best friend are more important than his wife. His marriage to Veronica was not for love, the man proposed to the girl only to fulfill his grandfather's last wish and as it was well known in college that she liked him, it was easy for him to propose. He has never given Veronica a sign of affection, much less a word of love, for him Veronica is just a formal commitment.

Veronica is excited about her birthday and to celebrate it, she has planned a special dinner, decorated the house simply and elegantly, ending her day with a shower and wearing a beautiful black dress. With the preparations ready and she dressed up to celebrate her birthday with her husband, she sits in the dining room waiting for him to arrive, but the hours pass and pass and the man shows no sign of it. A little after 11 pm, the woman decides to call him and ask him where he is, because he had promised her that this year he would celebrate her birthday with her.
VERONICA: Santos, where are you? I've been waiting for you all night._(Listening to music on the other end of the phone)
SANTOS: Veronica, in the morning I told you that I would come to my best friend Pamela's fashion show.
VERONICA: But you promised me you'd celebrate my birthday with me.
SANTOS: Veronica, don't be childish, we can celebrate your birthday later.
VERONICA: You told me the same thing last year and the year before last.
SANTOS: Are you a child to be celebrating birthdays? I already told you that we'll celebrate it later, right now we're celebrating that Pamela has won the award for best model of the year.
VERONICA: Okay, congratulate her from me._(she said to hang up the call feeling her heart break again)
Santos put his phone away and continued the party with his friends.
"Is Veronica upset that you didn't spend her birthday with her?"
"You're a little cruel to leave her alone"
SANTOS: She's not upset, she understands perfectly that Pamela's achievement is more important than anything else.
PAMELA: Santos, I don't want to cause a misunderstanding between you and your wife.... I think it's better if you go celebrate her birthday with her._(showing herself friendly)
SANTOS: Don't worry about her, Pamela, when I get back to the city I'll buy her a gift and take her somewhere to celebrate.
PAMELA: Okay, but if she misunderstands us, I....
SANTOS: She won't misunderstand anything, she's my wife and you're my best friend.
"Let's not talk about it anymore and let's continue with the party"
"That's right, let's continue with the party, Santos will content Veronica when he returns"
"Exactly, Santos with some words contents her, it has been so in these years"
"I still don't understand why you married her, if you don't love her"
"True, you and Pamela were the ideal couple in college"
PAMELA: Guys don't bother, I went to study abroad and Santos and I are just friends.... If Santos married Veronica it's because he likes her.
SANTOS: Enough, let's continue the celebration.
In the solitude of the dining room of her house, Veronica let out a couple of tears evidencing the abandonment and loneliness that she has felt during 4 years of marriage, she thought that this year she would finally have her husband with her celebrating her day but they were only illusions that the man broke without contemplation.
VERONICA: ((Another year that passes without his presence, another birthday where I don't even receive a happy birthday from him.... If he would only give me a little of the time he dedicates to his best friend I would be happy, but for him everything is more important than me.))_(wiping her tears with disappointment)
The girl's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of her phone.
VERONICA: 📱Hello Valeri, to what do I owe your call at this time of night?
VALERI:📱 Happy birthday to one of the few people whose birthday I can remember without a Facebook reminder... hahahaha Happy birthday my beautiful nikita.
VERONICA:📱 Thank you my Valeri, thank you for remembering this day._(she replied with ambivalence)
VALERI:📱 mmm, by that tone I have to imagine that that jerk left you alone on your birthday again.
VERONICA: 📱That's right, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that my best friend didn't forget me.
VALERI: 📱Of course not, I will never forget my cute Nikita's birthday. That's why, I'm at your door, open me.
The woman upon hearing this, wiped her face and went to open the door.
VERONICA: Thiago Valeriano, are you crazy? What are you doing here at this hour?
THIAGO: Nikita, obviously I'm coming to personally congratulate you on your birthday and to give you your gift, take it._(handing her a bouquet of black roses, a box of chocolates and a jewelry set)
VERONICA: Thank you.
THIAGO: You're welcome.... Mmm, I would invite you to a club to celebrate your birthday. But decent and married girls don't go out alone with another man so late at night._(regrettable)
VERONICA: Fool, come in and let's have dinner together._(giving way)
THIAGO: Thank you, I hope you have prepared something delicious, otherwise I'll take my gifts with me._(teasing the girl)
VERONICA: You'll like what I prepared.
