Mel,

My days have been so peaceful. Ricardo has been keeping me informed about everything that's happening over there. I don't know how it's going to be because he hasn't informed the bride's family yet that there won't be a wedding. After being blackmailed, I wouldn't say anything either. It would be an unpleasant surprise for them.

This week, he's taking her to a consultation with the obstetrician. He wants to be well-informed about everything related to the baby. I admire him for not shying away from his responsibilities. That's what a man should do. But being forced into marriage is too much. However, I still believe there's more to it than just a simple wedding. I don't think it's solely for the honor of the bride.
