Kabanata 8 El Filibusterismo

クリスマスに、夫は妊娠8ヶ月の私に、重い体を引きずって彼の友達が家に来て祝うための料理を作らせた。 やっと座って、自分のために感謝祭に食べられなかったローストターキーを取ろうとしたそのとき、チャイムが鳴った。 夫の女性アシスタントが精緻なメイクを整えて、ドアの前に現れた。 夫は彼女を見るなり私を食卓から追い出し、ローストターキーを彼女の前に押し出した。 「恵、そんなに太っているなら食べないで。こんな美味しいローストターキーは詩織にあげなよ。ちょうど君の料理を味わってもらえるし」 「じゃあ、ママって何に見える？」 「ママ、今は農場の豚みたいに太ってるよ！」 「ママの妊娠線は、無数のウジ虫が這ったみたい。サンタさんだって、驚いて逃げちゃうよ！」 彼女はローストターキーを食べながら、「真実か挑戦か」というゲームを名目に、私の子供を使って私を嘲笑していた。 夫と彼の友達たちは、キッチンで忙しい私を指差して大笑いしていた。 私はクリスマスケーキとローストターキーを投げ捨て、家を出た。 こんな家、私の努力に値しない！

내가 임신한 지 5개월째, 한지용은 임신한 지 8개월 된 채 이혼 준비 중인 그의 첫사랑을 데려왔다. 나는 임산부는 서로 영향을 줄 수 있어 아이에게도 좋지 않다며 지용에게 에둘러 말했다. 하지만 지용은 오히려 물잔을 깨부수고 혐오하는 듯 말했다. “시우는 지금 이혼 때문에 마음이 침울한 상태이고 의지할 사람은 나뿐이야! 그런데 꼭 사람을 사경으로 몰아야 해?” 난 메스껍고 구역질이 나 밤새 잠을 이루지 못했고 몸 상태는 점점 나빠졌다. 지용은 연시우를 기쁘게 해주기 위해 집에 백합을 잔뜩 진열해 놓았다. 하지만 지용은 내가 백합에 알레르기가 있다는 사실을 잊었고 심지어 나를 방에 가두었다. “냄새를 맡지 않으면 더 이상 알레르기는 안 생기겠지!” 난 피가 끊임없이 흘렀고 미친 듯이 지용에게 전화를 걸어 나와 아이를 구해달라고 부탁했다. 그러나 지용은 난 아직 달수가 작으니 절대 문제가 생기지 않을 거라고 했다. 그렇게 난 태동이 멈추고 나서야 단념할 수 있었다. 이때 지용이 허둥지둥 문을 열고 들어왔다.

Y, de hecho, puede que sea su enemigo. Ahora se siente dividida entre el deber y el amor… ***** "Por favor, no te vayas", susurré mientras empezaba a besar su cuello una vez más. Me acarició la cabeza, pero empezó a decir las razones por las que sabía que estaba mal. "No podemos hacerlo, Tritón", me dijo. "Nos está matando y está destruyendo a nuestras familias. Imagina cómo reaccionaría la manada si nos descubrieran aquí. ¿Si descubrieran que estás en el bosque conmigo, besándonos y acariciándonos? Por mucho que te quiera y por más que seamos pareja, también somos enemigos, Tritón". "¡No!", dije, con mi cara aún enterrada en su cuello."¡No me importa lo que piensen! ¡No me importa lo que pueda pasar! Todo lo que quiero eres tú". «Mi enemigo, mi pareja», es una obra de Emma Levy, autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.
