One of the most anticipated moments for Martha's followers, the most viral grandmother in Cuba, and her "grandson" Ariel Ramos Perdomo, has been their farewell. This emotional moment was shared through a video posted on social media this Wednesday.
The relationship between this grandmother and the young man she considers her grandson has been so unique that thousands of followers have been able to enjoy it through social media. Equally incredible and singular was the farewell, with all the mischief and humor that was expected, and above all, with the profound love they feel for each other.
Ariel chose a quote from Charles Darwin to accompany the video posted on Instagram: "We stopped looking for monsters under the bed only to realize they were inside of us."
"The truth always manages to make its way, hilarious and victorious," the young man added.
The video starts with a puzzling declaration from the grandson to his grandmother: they have been living together for four years, and she has never seen what he does for a living.
Their farewell started with a dedication of an aquatic dance, precisely Ariel's profession, while she enjoyed an ice cream.
Subsequently, one of the most emotional conversations between them followed, which started with a phrase from Ariel to his grandmother: "Do you know that I am going to miss you?"
"What am I going to do! And with you," Martha responds, who then said, "I cannot go with you, I do not want to leave."
And after the emotion, that comedic touch that has always been present in their videos emerges.
Facing Martha's statement of not wanting to go to the United States even for a visit, her grandson responds: "Do you know the amount of food we are going to eat there? The 400 pounds we are going to gain there?".
The woman, with the spontaneity that has made her famous, replied: "You take it."
Later on, she confessed to him that she will miss him, but even so, she will not go to the United States, and at that moment, although hidden, some tears sprang forth.
"So the only thing left for me to do is help you," said Ariel, to which his grandmother responded, "That's right."
"Do you know that this could be the last video we make?" said the young man. "And what are we going to do?" the lady expressed.
Right at that moment, Ariel's tears came out, and probably along with him, many other people cried through the screens of their mobile devices.
Then, they bid farewell to the video in the purest style of Grandma Martha and her grandson Ariel: dancing the conga.
The closing of the clip is a beautiful image and message: "There will never be an Ariel without Martha."
Last Sunday, he arrived in the United States. "Thanks to everyone and especially to you, YG Insurance Solutions, freedom is priceless," he said on his Instagram account.
Since then, the thousands of followers who have followed the love between Martha and Ariel have been eagerly awaiting statements from both.
This Tuesday, the young man explained in an interview with journalist Mario J. Pentón that he met Marta almost four years ago when he and his partner rented a house owned by Marta.
Ariel, who arrived in the state of Missouri this weekend thanks to humanitarian parole, explained that Marta is not his real grandmother, although he says he loves her as if she were and emphasized that she will continue to be a fundamental part of his life.
