Anguish took hold of me, I tried a thousand times to contact my husband and I couldn't.
Then my cell phone rang, it was my brother-in-law.
📱Sister-in-law... I saw your missed call... I was in a meeting. Let me know.
📱Loren is hospitalized... They need to perform an operation and she needs blood donors... I can't locate Fernando. I tell him.
📱What?... I'll go to his company... Where are you?. He asks me.
📱At the sanatorium with Angel. I reply.
📱I'm going to see him at work... Don't worry... I would offer, but I've been drinking. He says with regret.
📱Ok... Let me know. I reply and hang up.
Then I remembered the location I received from that client, I checked and luckily the message indicated the time, I looked at my watch.
"Angel... Your father has that program that connects his devices. I ask him."
"Yes... Why?. He says to me."
"Let's go... I know where he might be... Let's go so we can reach him. I say grabbing my bag."
"What's wrong with Loren?. He asks me."
"She is being attended to by the doctor... Let's go find your father. I say hurriedly."
"Mrs. Analia. The doctor calls me."
"I'm going to look for my husband. I let him know."
"Very well... I'll wait for you." He replied.
I put the location in the GPS to guide me where my husband would be.
As we approached, I looked curiously to see if I could see his vehicle.
"Mom... There's his car. Angel points out."
"How lucky... He hasn't left." I said stopping and unbuckling my seatbelt to reach him before he leaves.
I see him get out of it and before I can shout his name I see a young girl who runs to meet him, embracing him and giving him an intense kiss on the lips.
That scene left me frozen.
"That's dad." Angel said astonished.
"I don't have time for this. I say swallowing the anger of what is revealed before my eyes."
"Mom... Are you okay. Angel asks me worried."
"Loren is what matters now. I tell Angel."
"They're leaving. Angel indicates to me."
"Let's follow them... We must stop them. I tell Angel."
Then my cell phone rings.
"Answer Angel... I'm driving. I ask him with a choked voice, swallowing the urge to cry."
My hands tremble with nerves, I hold the steering wheel tightly as if wanting to break it.
"Yes mom." He replied and put it on speaker.
📱SISTER-IN-LAW... THEY TOLD ME HE WENT TO A MEETING AT A RESTAURANT. My brother-in-law lets me know.
📱UNCLE... WE ARE FOLLOWING HIM... HE'S CHEATING ON MOM. Angel lets him know.
📱WHAT?. He asks astonished.
📱YOU KNOW HE WORKS AS AN UBER... HE HAD A MESSAGE FROM A PASSENGER... AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE HIS LOVER. Angel tells his uncle, I'm in disbelief.
📱WAIT WHERE YOU ARE... DON'T LET YOUR MOTHER DO ANYTHING CRAZY. He asks.
📱I'M GOING TO TELL HIM ABOUT LORENA... HER THING IS MORE IMPORTANT. I say finally being able to speak.
📱ARE YOU SURE THAT'S HOW IT IS?... DIDN'T YOU SEE WRONG. He asks doubting that his brother would do that.
📱UNCLE... I WAS A WITNESS TO THE THROAT EXAM HE GAVE THAT GIRL WITH HIS TONGUE... HE BARELY GIVES MOM ONE ON THE CHEEK. Angel tells him.
📱I'M LEAVING YOU. I said seeing the car stop.
I sighed deeply taking strength to get out of the vehicle and confront him.
"You have me mom... I'll go with you. Angel tells me."
"I wouldn't want you to witness it. I tell him."
"I'm going to go with you... I won't leave you alone. My child says surely and I saw in his eyes the disappointment he felt towards his father."
We got out of the vehicle and I noticed that they entered a restaurant holding hands like a couple, I couldn't believe it, my heart ached at such a scene.
Angel walked behind me as if attentive to me not fainting, the impressions usually produce that reaction, but now I had a mission, to take him to give blood for his daughter.
Upon entering the restaurant one who attended to me greets me kindly upon seeing me.
"GOOD MORNING... ARE YOU PART OF THE EL DORADO BUSINESS GROUP." He asked me, that was the company where my husband worked.
"THAT'S RIGHT." I replied lying.
"TAKE THIS IDENTIFIER... GO THAT WAY AND AT THE END YOU WILL SEE A ROOM... JUST SHOW THIS AND THEY WILL LET YOU PASS." He said to me.
"Thank you. I reply."
I see that Angel is given another one and we head towards where he indicated.
We arrived finding a huge room all decorated like a party. This didn't seem like a simple work meeting, but I remembered my husband's function, he was a Public Relations Advisor in his company, he was in charge of adding new investors to the company.
We spotted him at the end with that tall slender dark-haired girl, she was dark-skinned very attractive to tell the truth, I used to have that physique, but after having two children I maintain myself but I don't have the wasp waist that I used to have. She wore a short red fitted dress, showing off her toned legs and well-formed buttocks.
I felt my heart break more than it was when I heard what a man in a suit said when greeting him.
"HOW BEAUTIFUL YOUR WIFE IS, IF I JOIN YOU SO WILL MINE"
"EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE", my husband replied with a smile.
Wife?, I muttered distressed.
Angel took my hand as if giving me strength.
"HE IS A VERY FORTUNATE MAN FOR HAVING A WOMAN LIKE THAT", that man continued flattering.
"SHE IS THE LIGHT OF MY EYES", my husband said, he used to tell me that at first when he wanted to win me over.
I was a very intelligent girl, who managed to finish her studies before everyone else and entered the university being very young, that's when I met Fernando who won my heart with flattery and gifts, he had an easy way to talk, making me believe that he didn't want to have intimacy, being that that's what he was looking for.
I walked towards him with short steps, afraid of losing my balance, I was going through many strong emotions. I named him causing him to jump with surprise.
"FERNANDO."
He turned in slow motion, at first he looked with surprise and then his gaze changed as if he saw his worst enemy.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?. He shouted."
"I WAS COMING..."
"GO AWAY... YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE... YOU ONLY EMBARRASS ME WITH YOUR PRESENCE... GET OUT... STOP BOTHERING ME. He shouted in front of everyone causing the colors to rise to my face."
"LORENA..."
"STOP SHIELDING YOURSELF WITH YOUR CHILDREN FOR YOUR CLUMSINESS... LEAVE ME ALONE... YOU SUFFOCATE ME. He shouted."
"Is she his ex?. I heard someone ask."
"They cheat on you and want to come back. Said another."
"She wasn't the ex, but from now on I will be, I thought annoyed"
"I never cheated on him"
"He told lies about me"
"LET ME TELL YOU..."
I was trying to explain to him but his overbearing tone, like a rabid dog, covered up anything I tried to say.
"GET OUT!. He expressed taking me by the arm annoyed and throwing me outside, Angel was frozen by his father's abrupt reaction, I saw him confused not knowing what to do, he was a loving child, away from quarrels, he didn't know how to deal in a situation like that, we never exposed him to a situation like that."
"YOU MUST COME WITH ME LORENA NEEDS YOU. I managed to say shouting."
"I'M SORRY YOU FIND OUT LIKE THIS... BUT IF YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN YOUR STANDARD OF LIVING YOU WILL TURN A BLIND EYE... SHE IS THE DIRECTOR OF MY AREA (He said pointing with his finger towards the interior)... WITH HER I WILL HAVE THE PROMOTION... I ONLY SACRIFICE FOR OUR FAMILY. Said the very shameless one."
"YOU INTRODUCE HER AS A WIFE." I said to him.
"LOOK AT HER... LOOK AT YOU... SHE IS THE KEY TO NEW INVESTORS... NOT EVEN THE FLIES WILL MARRY YOU." He said with disgust, pointing at my physiognomy.
I was about to insist again that he come with me for Loren when my cell phone rings, I felt the tears run down my face.
"FERNANDO... LISTEN TO ME... ONLY YOU CAN SAVE LORENA. I was saying looking for my cell phone to answer."
"I WILL SEND THEM TO THEIR STUDY TRIP." He replied.
"IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT... LET ME EXPLAIN... BUT YOU MUST COME NOW. I tell him"
"YOU ONLY WANT TO TIE ME TO YOU... DON'T BE SO DEPENDENT ANYMORE... FIND A JOB... DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE... YOU SPEND THE DAY SITTING SCRATCHING YOURSELF WITH TWO HANDS... YOU SQUEEZE ME UNTIL THE LAST CENT... YOU ARE VERY SELFISH... SINCE YOU ARE NOTHING, YOU DON'T WANT ME TO BE. He says with contempt shouting, as to humiliate me before strangers."
"IT'S NOT ABOUT ME... LOREN TOOK YOUR BLOOD TYPE AND..."
"THAT'S WHAT KEEPS YOU AWAKE... YOU WANT EVERYTHING TO BE LIKE YOU... YOU THINK YOU ARE A BIG DEAL AND YOU ARE JUST A SIMPLE HOUSEWIFE WITHOUT A FUTURE, WITHOUT A CAREER, WITHOUT FUTURE LIFE PROJECTS THAT INCLUDE A PROMOTION LIKE IT HAPPENS TO ME. He says with disgust in his gestures towards me."
"IT'S NOT THAT. (I say with a trembling voice, his words are like daggers that he pierces in my chest, being that I gave my life to satisfy him)"
"STOP INSISTING... YOU DON'T CONVINCE ME WITH YOUR WHINING... MATURE ONCE AND FOR ALL... MONEY DOESN'T FALL FROM TREES... WHILE YOU PLAY THE HAPPY LITTLE HOUSE I MUST DEAL WITH HOW TO PAY ALL THE EXPENSES THAT GENERATE ME. He concluded shouting wildly, and I saw how the saliva fell from his mouth, his face red with anger."
I never thought he hated me so much, I never thought we meant expenses for him, he broke my soul.
Angel approached extracting the cell phone from my purse seeing my desperate search and that because of the tears I couldn't see.
📱MRS. ANALIA. I heard the doctor's voice.
📱DOCTOR... I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE BLOOD... I ALREADY KNOW WHERE MY HUSBAND IS. I tell him thinking of insisting again.
📱YOU MUST COME SEE YOUR DAUGHTER. I heard him say in a high-pitched tone, that was not a good sign.
I headed to my car without moving the cell phone away from my ear.
"Let me drive... You're not okay. My son Angel tells me"
"Treasure you are not old enough. I tell him."
"I will evade the controls... Let's go... I don't want you to crash. He insists."
"Since when do you drive?. I ask him surprised."
"My friend taught me." He replied.
"We'll talk about that later. I tell him not liking the idea of him driving."
"But it's useful. He replies showing the keys he was going to drive."
I let him do it, he was right I was on edge, my head was throbbing, I felt like I was drowning in a torrent of pain.
The man to whom I gave my life, my time, my virtue, my future, for whom I would put my hands in the fire, whom I supported in every crazy project and sacrificed my own only for the good of our family despised me, humiliated me before those people.
I remembered when he bought the car.
*Flashback
He filled my head with problems that the money was not enough and we had to take out a millionaire loan only for food and pay some bills.
One night he showed up showing his luxurious car.
"Where did you get the money?." I asked him.
"The old one will be for you... This one is for me, I can work as Uber. He told me as a consolation."
"How did you pay for it?. I insisted again."
"With the loan. He told me as if nothing and took the kids for a ride."
He cheated on me taking me to the bank, he needed my signature as he was married, he made me believe that it was a loan to pay for food and it was to buy a car.
And now he used that car to go around with his lover, who knows if the Uber thing is true, maybe he invented it to justify his outings, now I was starting to fit the pieces of the puzzle.
And as I blindly trusted him, I didn't notice if what he said was true or not, I never bothered to look in the application if he was part of that.
(End of Flashback)
"We arrived mom. My child called my attention, who had a smile for having driven."
"Thank you treasure... You have done well." I said and he made a winner's fist gesture.
Upon entering I see the face of the doctor who receives me.
"Come with me to see your girl. He told me and together with Angel we went."
"Hey grain... You look good." He said seeing her awake, she barely stretched out her hand and he took it, just like me on the other side.
I felt her cold, sweaty. I placed a kiss on her forehead and so did Angel.
