The Worst News

Throughout the beginning of every morning there is a promise of a new beginning on every person. The start of everything in life on which a person does in order to earn a living and fulfils his or her goals. But sometimes not all of the mornings are beautiful and precious like what they seem or what like the people says. There are some of the people who experience the beautiful morning while others suffer terrible fates like what is happening to Fernando.

It is a brand-new day early in the morning inside Del Fuente ranch in Mexico City as the beginning of the new day and new responsibilities proceeds inside Mateo's ranch as some of the employees are mopping the floors of the ranch Mansion while others are washing the vehicles inside Mr. Mateo's ranch.

Fernando, 26 years old, tall with the skin reddish in color and wavy hair is with his wheelbarrow filled with the horses' grasses and foods. Walking smoothly with a witty smile on his face as he walks heading to the horse stable in order to feed up the horses since this one of his normal duties inside the ranch that makes a living for him.

At the time Fernando arrives at the horse stable, he then drops his wheelbarrow down on the ground, and then takes the horses' food and grasses and tosses them into the horse feeding shelf while the horses are eating at the time Fernando is putting the food on the shelf.

As Fernando is feeding the horses on the stables. Suddenly, Albert and his friends Patrick and Johnson arrive at the horse stable. Walking with contempt looks on their faces while their hands are tacked inside their pockets as Fernando is feeding the horses on the stables.

"Hey you! You little piece of shit. What are you doing there?" Albert says as soon as he approaches Fernando's space.

At the time Fernando hears the voice of Albert from afar. His skin gets tense and his heart start to boil with anguish from the inside as Albert and his friends approach his space closer and closer.

"I guess he is doing what normal perverted people do. What a disgrace?" Patrick says with his lips twisted upward.

Fernando drops the last bundle of the cow grasses on the feeding racks, and then turns looking at Albert and his friends after they arrive at his spot.

Fernando sighs. "What do you want from me, Albert?"

Albert furrows his brows. "Show some love a little bit. Is that how you always welcome your guests when you do your previous Job?"

"I don't have time for your nonsense, what really brought you here?" Fernando asks, demanding an answer as he looks at Albert and his friends as they look at him with contempt looks on their faces.

Johnson scoffs, "Look at this weirdo. He thinks that he is tough right now."

Patrick affirms, "Yeah, Poor him. He thinks that he has gotten the chance to marry a rich girl like Camilla," Patrick scoffs and continues. "What a joke."

For the past several years, Fernando and Albert have been having a lot of beef for so many years because of Camilla. Despite Fernando being a nobody in Mateo's Family and a cowboy inside Mr. Mateo's house but still he is the only man that Camilla have ever loved in her entire life which has led to all of this rival between Fernando and Albert since albert really loves Camilla, but Camilla doesn't love Albert at all.

"Nothing my friend. I have just come here to see you, and see how you are doing." Albert responds with a witty smile on his face.

Fernando rolls up his eyes and then returns back to the horses in order to give them food. Carrying the bundles of grasses one after another and proceeds with his duties, leaving Albert and his friends quite irritated by his behavior.

"Hey you! I'm not done talking right now." Albert says with a contorted look on his face.

"Just go away Albert, you are just wasting my time." Fernando replies.

Johnson scoffs and interjects, "I can see this kid is starting to get cocky right now. Maybe he needs to be taught some lessons first on how to behave."

Albert huffs a laugh. "There are no need guys. There is no point in wasting our sweats on this little brat."

Fernando's facial features harden as soon as hears the insults from Albert and his friends as he is feeding the cows, since this matter has been common to him for several years up to now to the point of having so much rivalry with Albert because of Camilla. Albert decides to mute and proceeds feeding the horses as Albert and his friends look at him with contempt looks on their faces.

"Hey, we are talking to you, do you think we are here playing with you?" Patrick yells at Fernando.

Albert walks toward Fernando spot where he is feeding the horse with his hands tucked inside his pants.

"My Friend... My Friend...My Friend." Albert speaks calmly with his hands tucked inside his pants pocket.

When Albert arrives beside Fernando's space, he then stands beside him, looking at him with contempt as Fernando is busy feeding the horse as he takes the grass bundles from the wheelbarrow and tosses them on the horse feeding racks.

"Listen man, I have come here to warn you to stay away from Camilla from now on for good because you will not like what is going to happen to you next, if you persist in going after her." Albert warns Fernando as he is busy feeding the horses with a serious look on his face.

Fernando rolls up her eyes and sighs, "Oh gosh! Here we go again. When are you going to realise that woman doesn't love you at all."

"I have officially come here to you today. To warn you to stay far away from Camilla and if you will persist in talking to her. You won't like what is going to happen to you."

"Camilla can talk to anyone that she wishes. That is not your decision, that is her decision." Fernando replies.

"Look at that brat, this kid takes years to learn." Patrick says.

"Let me break this to you right now, "Albert glances at his friend with a crooked grin, and then returns his gaze back to Fernando. "Me and Camilla soon we are going to get married, and from now on I don't want to ever see you again coming closer to Camilla, is that understood?"

Albert's words linger inside Fernando's head like the lyrics of the chorus of the song, shuttering his heart into broken pieces after hearing the wedding of Camilla and Albert even though since they were kids Fernando and Camilla promised each other to fight for their love until the end. But right now, it looks like things have turned the other way around.

"No! This can't be." Fernando speaks to his thoughts with his wide eyes open. Terrified of there his future between him and Camilla.
