Tita's Journal Entry

Dear Journal:
Today, Mama Elena gave away my heart and soul to Rosaura. He came with his padre to ask for my hand in marriage. I even warned Mama before he came, but her miond was already decided. She argued against our marriage passionately -- but then she had an idea; my Pedro to marry Rosaura instead! Some idea! Tomorrow, I must begin sewing what's supposed to be my wedding sheets. Mama Elena even wants me to bake the cake...Rosaura and Pedro's wedding cake. Aye! I don't know if my heart can take it.
But how could he just agree to marry her? He swore "his love for me would last forever," and while I know we are getting older, I know the end of time hasn't ran out yet.
Tita
