After several days out of the media spotlight following the cancellation of his last program, Cuentos Chinos, Jorge Javier Vázquez has reappeared more sincere than ever. The presenter opens the channel from his column in Lecturas magazine, where he not only confirms that he will attend and be the best man at Isa Pantoja’s wedding; But he also makes an important reflection on the life he wants to share with the bride’s mother, Isabel Pantoja.
A wedding in which there will be great absences, but as he already promised the bride, who will miss almost her entire family: “You have me for sure. Count on me as you have always counted on.”
The presenter turns his column into an open letter to Isabel Pantoja, mother of the bride, who decided a long time ago that she would not attend her little daughter’s wedding. However, the one from Badalona, ??who was once a friend of the tonadillera, warns him that he still has time to change his mind so as not to regret it.
Jorge Javier insists that he would like to talk to her, his former friend, in private. “You smoking with a cola and me with another, which I haven’t drunk in a long time,” he explains, before saying that “since I haven’t drunk, people bore me a lot” and that “before I put up with people’s nonsense more because “My mind was anesthetized.” However, now that he is sober, “the common mortals make me drowsy.”
The presenter suggests that they sit down and chat, and encourage each other to leave the house. “We have to force ourselves to go out. Because there are people who are bored to the point of saying enough,” the communicator insists, “because if we decide not to give them more opportunities in everyday life, turn it off and let’s go.”
The one from Badalona remembers those moments in which they were friends, also in which they were the most intimate enemies and fought “an all-out war that, it is time to admit, kept us very alive”, but insists that everything is behind us. “Now we are two erratic, wounded and lived souls who remember with a smile, perhaps with nostalgia too, battles already buried.”
However, he insists: if he doesn’t go to his daughter Isa’s wedding, he will regret it. “There is still a solution. I hope you go. Because maybe, in a few days, or months, or years, you will think that you wish you had gone, and perhaps that thought will cause you pain, sadness, grief. And today you have time to avoid it. “I know you a little,” says the presenter, who finally reveals the reason why he wants to speak face to face with her: to “break that glass wall that prevents you from making the decision to go.”
Even so, he promises that if she decides not to attend, he will ensure that Isa has an indelible memory of that day. “But you should also know that if you don’t go, she’s going to miss you a lot. And so will I.”
