My matchmaking Experience (part three) Valentina
Valentina Padrosuelo was 22 years old. Born to an italian mother and a mexican father. She was given very much freedom since her parents were always busy trying to make ends meet. They lived in the favellas(ghetto) in the infamous Elsalvador in Mexico. When she was sixteen, she got busted with her best friend Antonio when they tried to steal from a supermarket.
The parol officer assigned to them gave them two options. Either they look for something to keep them less idle or they go to juvie( underage jail).
That’s where dancing came in and changed their lives. They join a neighborhood dance crew.
And from there they started making a little bit of money from perfoming at shows.
They both got a turn around when they where both eighteen, Jennifer Lopez popularly known as J.lo came to perform in Mexico. They both audition to be part of her dance team and were picked.
After dancing with J.lo for 2 years through out her tour, they started dancing in music videos in L.A .
According to Valentina, she has been unlucky with guys or relationship and the only steady men in her life were her father and Antonio.
Now let me start with my matchmaking;
When Valentina and I got talking about her love life, she told me she had never found love since most of the guys in mexico were Bastardos(bastards) according to her though. She said she had high hopes of finding love in Nigeria and I promised to help her.
During the next few weeks of rehearsals, I noticed that Danny was showing lots of interest in Valentina and he didn’t know how to approach her, besides Valentina speaks only Spanish and she was just learning bits of English.
So I came to her after rehearsals and told her what I noticed and asked her if she liked Danny and she said yes. I told her to encourage him to make a move if she likes him.
On my way home, I met up with Danny and told him I noticed he had a thing for Valentina and he said he did. He then asked me to help him pass the knowledge on to Valentina since I’m her friend and I speak spanish, and I told him I would.
Imagine my surprise when I came for rehearsals the next week and was told that Valentina and Danny hadn’t come around. I went to Valentina’s best friend, Antonio to inquire about the whereabout of his friend, and he said they had a fight and wasn’t on speaking terms when it happened. I furiously asked him what happened, and he said “ellos se han ido” (“they are gone”) and I asked him what does he mean by that and he said “ella ecampo una bolsa ye se fureon” (“she packed up a bag and they left”)……to be continued
