Ana's POVI walked back to my table which was already back in its place because Gabriel had thrown it when he threw the guy to the floor and with him my bag, I wanted Natalia to finish the dance quickly so I could leave, I didn't want to be there with my husband's mistress, as soon as Natalia arrived, I would leave."Ana, come with me.""What, I don't want to be near you and less with that woman, leave me alone, go with your mistress and leave me alone," I said almost on the verge of tears. "Fuck, why did I have to be like this every time, why did I have to cry like an idiot, I was so pathetic as a woman." I was surprised when Gabriel took me in his arms. "Are you out of your mind? People are looking at us.""You're my wife, Ana, there's no problem with a man carrying his drunk wife." He started to walk towards one of the stairs, he climbed it little by little, I felt like I was going to fall, when he left me on the floor on the table in front of us were Fabio, his girlfriend and Soni
Ana's POVHe was doing very well and that made me happy, when I went home, I told Marcela to prepare the best room for him, then I asked both her and Rafa not to say anything about what was going on at home because it was already a secret for them."Ma'am..." I was in the kitchen helping Marcela with dinner, Andres decided to rest a bit and Gabriel was sitting at the kitchen table near us reading I don't know what on the tablet."Yes.""Are you going to sleep in the guest room tonight? I'm afraid young Andrew will come in and find out you two aren't sharing a room anymore, that would be weird."I looked at Gabriel who was looking at me with a stupid grin, urging me to give an answer."I'll sleep in the same room with Gabriel, but don't move any of my stuff, when my brother leaves, I'll leave too."Gabriel let go of the tablet and stood up."Dream on Ana, none of that is going to happen, you know very well I'm not letting you go anywhere."I was about to start arguing with Gabriel when
Ana’s POV "Ana, calm down, I let him do it because I had to pay for everything I did somehow." Her voice cracked. "I didn't want to do it, Ana, I didn't really want to do anything, you just got in the way really fast, but I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to scare him a little." "That's crazy, I did it because I thought you were going to do it, I know you, Andrew, I'm your sister, I know who you are and how you think, I saw that twinkle in your eye." My tears didn't take long to come. "It was the same one you had when you killed our cat, the day Mom and Dad didn't come to your baseball game, the day you won and I wanted them to see it, you went crazy, Andres, I could see that in you today and it's scary." "No, it's not." He interrupts me. "Yes it is and you know it, that day you lost control and killed our cat, you were crazy if Rafa hadn't stopped you I don't know what would have happened." "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, just knowing that you're
I didn't know how true Andres' words were, but I knew that Ana was suffering because of me, because of my infidelity, because I was a husband who left her to her fate in a marriage that was always a bank transaction.I had to give her some time, she had to have some peace, she always asked me and I ignored her because I was selfish, I wanted her only for me, I did not want her to go with that Lian, I was blinded by my hatred for that man and I only hurt Ana.Maybe Andres was right, we should separate for a while, I should let Ana be the one to look for me when she needs me or misses me, we could not continue in this vicious and poisonous circle.It wasn't good for either of us, and I certainly didn't want Ana to do something crazy later because of me.It was eight o'clock at night, when the nurse told me that Ana was awake and calmer, I asked her to bring some things I had bought for her to eat and to let her know that I was going home.When I arrived at our house, my head was filled
From far away I see Ana leaving the hospital, I see her getting into Carlo's car, for a long while I stay watching them without approaching them, I want to give her her space."You think you're doing good," says mom who is next to me in the car."It's the best thing for her, we know that, mom.""But what about my son? I have to watch my son again lost in alcohol while Ana decides what she wants to do with her life," Mom's eyes water. "I don't want to reproach you, but this is all your fault and you're going to lose a great woman if you don't do anything to change it."I remain silent as I watch Natalia's boyfriend's car pull out of the hospital parking lot.Mom came home last night, she was very scared to find me taken, that's what I had been doing since the last night I talked to Andres, I had made the decision to give Ana freedom, to choose what I wanted for us, I wanted to stop being selfish, I was thinking about my wife's well being and I didn't want to see her suffer anymore.I h
When men are born they are taught that a name shouldn't cry, that it's sissy and only women can cry and be weak, it's very macho thinking, I know, but I grew up hearing that as I got older a man should be strong and not show weakness.It sucks that people think that way and I hate it.In Venezuela to see a man cry is to be a faggot, a gay man is what everyone likes to call weak, immature and mogoloid people. I always hated this machismo that we grew up with, because for better or worse we are all human beings, we have the same rights and we are equal beings.Not because you are a man and you were born with a penis, you will never cry, why, why do all babies cry at birth? Crying for me is to release the emotional burden that I carry in my chest, to release all the damage that has been done to me or that I have done to myself, because many times we tend to hurt ourselves, we get carried away by our sick thoughts and when we realize that we are suffering a lot and for no reason.Because
At noon, when Gabriel said he was feeling better, he had stopped vomiting and complaining because his head was hurting a lot, we left the house to go eat at a restaurant with his parents, because it had been a while since we had shared with them and Gabriel wanted to tell him the good news of the pregnancy, I had told him it was too soon, but knowing that I am 3 months pregnant the baby will be noticed any moment, so we decided to give the good news to his parents so they would be the ones to help me take care of the baby.I didn't have my mother with me and Andres knew very little about pregnant women, Natalia had said she would be the best aunt, but I knew she was afraid of the whole baby thing because she and Carlos were just engaged, they weren't planning on having a baby yet.We had made an appointment with Dr. Alejandra Lopez, according to Gabriel she was the best obstetrician in Caracas, she had done her research and the doctor had made an appointment for us an hour before lunc
I looked everywhere with my eyes, but the parking lot was practically empty, there were only a few people around and none of them were paying attention to us, I didn't see anything suspicious that made me doubt anyone.When I turned my attention back to Ana, her face was completely pale and her hands were shaking, I quickly threw the flowers on the ground and pulled Ana into my arms."Stop it honey, don't worry about it." I stroked her back reassuringly."Who did this, Gabriel? This person hates us enough to do this, I'm so scared." She moved his body away from mine and picked up the note on the floor to read it. "How did that person know we were coming here today, Gabriel? We're being followed and no, we noticed, it's someone else or it's her, right?"I kept quiet because I didn't want to confirm her suspicion that Sonia was behind all this, I didn't want to worry Ana more and more now that we were coming out of the doctor's later, after seeing our son or daughter for the first time,
