SYNOPSIS
Azucena arrives to Bogotá, together with her mother Dolores, her brother, Alberto, and little Angelita. Evicted from their home and carrying with them all of their belongings, they arrive riding on “La Tere”, an old and colorful truck. Antonio, Azucena’s father on account of bad debts has lost their home. After having a serious car accident, he flees leaving his family filled with problems. Things are not easy for Azucena in the big city. Hopelessly and without success she looks for a job to no avail, until a visit to the church defines her luck: Father Benito discovers that she has an enormous talent in making flower arrangements and recommends her with the best flower shop in Bogotá. Her visit to the church also determines her encounter with José Angel Rivero Del Castillo, who helps her start up the dilapidated “Tere”. Thanks to her work at the flower shop, Azucena attends a beautiful wedding, only to discover that the groom is the handsome man that helped her with her station wagon. This wedding becomes a nightmare when several men wearing hoods enter the church firing arms, murdering the bride, Andrea Santacruz, and leaving José Angel seriously injured. This massacre had been planned by Deborah, Andrea’s cousin, and Vinicio, José Angel’s brother, who wanted to get rid of him because he knows that a clause in their grandfather’s will determines that all of the inheritance will be for José Angel. While José Angel heals from his wounds and falls for Deborah’s deceitful love, Azucena loses her job at the flower shop. Fate leads her to seek her luck at the Rivero Del Castillo plantation, where they give her a new job opportunity and where once again, she meets José Angel. Jose Angel, still vulnerable on account of his great loss, finds a soothing balm for his sorrows in Azucena. Little by little, Azucena also starts bringing José Angel into her world and, at Angelita’s birthday, they kiss for the first time, a kiss of love, never imagining that the same forces that separated José Angel and Andrea would struggle to separate them too. José Angel tries to set things straight with Deborah and it is then when he realizes that she is neither as noble nor as honest as she appeared to be. Deborah finds out about the encounters between José Angel and Azucena and decides to lay a trap to separate her from him once and for all. Azucena is accused of theft and ends up in jail, where she swears to take vengeance from José Luis for not trusting in her. When she gets out of prison, Azucena is determined to forge ahead at any cost and achieves it with the help of Alejandro Castro, an enemy of the Rivero Del Castillo family. Wanting to get back at José Angel, she decides to start up her own flower distribution business. In the meantime, José Angel realizes that his life without Azucena is meaningless and wants to get back her love and trust. In the process, he discovers that, in addition to being lovers, Deborah and Vinicio were the intellectual perpetrators of Andrea’s murder. Vinicio and Deborah end up behind bars. José Angel gives a press conference where he restores Azucena’s good name and honor and apologizes to her in public, but she wants nothing to do with him. It is then when Angelita makes her open her eyes confessing to her that it was he who gave Antonio the money to pay up his debts. Azucena decides to forgive him. In the end, we will see the fantasy wedding that Azucena always wanted: to arrive at Father Benito’s church in “la Tere,” especially arranged for the event. When they exchange vows, both of them say, in unison: “I live for your love.”
