dead stars
The story is focused in the life of Alfredo Salazar, who is the son of Don Julian and the brother of Carmen, who is a lawyer and engaged to Esparanza to whom he is deeply in love with until he met Julia Salas who made him confused about his love for his fiance. Alfredo met Julia in Judge Del Valle's house, a friend of his father, who is his sister-in-law. He was puzzled with her smile every time he addresses her and he was charmed with her speaking voice. The daily routine of Alfredo and his father every Sunday morning after the mass is to go to the judge's house that made Alfredo and Julia closer and know each better. He forgot that for several Sundays, he
This is the beginning of his attraction to Julia. At the end of chapter two, the conversation is cut when Esperanza went out weeping with what his fiance had said.

Esperanza did not enter in the picture because she was not prone to unprovoked jealousies that made Alfredo entertain the feeling towards Julia. This situation made Alfredo think of what must be done. In chapter three, the paragraph started about Alfredo going to Santa Cruz, where he would defend a case and how it would disturb him because Julia's lake town is within the area. He just doesn't know why he clung to that dream, that they still both love each other. The title Dead Stars refer to Julia whom he is seeing the light but never thought it was dead because they are still in their appointed places in the heavens. It was almost eight years since they were apart but he still cannot forget Julia. However, when he found Julia once again in Calle Luz, the pressing of her hand that made him feel nothing and the question "Did she still care?" hardly interests him is the end of his dream that everything between them is over. The time when Alfredo felt a violent commotion in his heart that he did not feel for Esperanza when he saw her is already a big problem because he will be soon married. He was already lying with his feelings but he still keeps his word to Esperanza.
