Despite the fact that they didn’t know each other, the girls ran to embrace a young woman who’d proposed to her boyfriend but was humiliatingly rejected in public.
Many couples dream of one day getting married, starting a family, and living happily ever after. Even though that’s what one girl wanted, her boyfriend apparently wasn’t too keen on making it to the altar, and in fact, ran off at full speed when his girlfriend popped the big question, leaving her heartbroken.

Gabriela Grajal was enjoying a quiet vacation in Europe when she arrived in Rome, Italy for a few days. One morning she woke up and, with her partner, decided to go to the Colosseum, one of the main tourist attractions of the city. She never thought that she’d witness something surprising that day that had nothing to do with culture or travel.
While Gabriela was recording a video on the immense structure built thousands of years ago, a girl, also a tourist, crouched down in front of her boyfriend, getting down on one knee. Gabriela instantly realized that the woman was going to propose to her beloved, so she began to focus the camera on the scene.

Although Gabriela thought she was in for something romantic, it was quite the opposite. When the unknown woman got down on one knee to ask for her boyfriend’s hand, the man started trying to get her to stand up, full of embarrassment. After she didn’t follow along, the guy decided to run away at full speed, standing his partner up.

As expected, as soon as the man ran, the girl burst into tears due to the rejection she’d suffered. At that instant, the tourists who were watching the scene quickly approached the heartbroken girl to comfort and support her, even though they didn’t know her.

The cybernauts who later saw Gabriela’s video on TikTok highlighted above all things the support the women gave the heartbroken girl, demonstrating female solidarity once again.
