In time, the couple gets married and come to have a son, Rafael. However, they soon divorce because of Luis's many commitments as a singer. This strains the relationship between Luis and Maria, so much so that Maria, stung by bitterness, teaches her son to despise his father and manages to move from Mexico to the United States to keep Luis from contacting his son. Luis wants nothing more than to regain his lost relationship and affection with his beloved son. Therefore, time after time he visits Maria in hope of winning over his son's affection with little success. Over time, Rafael, now a young man, comes to have a passion for music just like his father despite having a hatred for him.

Meanwhile, Apolonio, a dear friend of Luis, tries to mend the fractured relationship between Luis and his son. He hands Rafael letters and gifts that Luis directed to his him when he was young. Rafael comes to understand that it was his mother who had hidden all signs of affection coming from his father.
