Lei Meteor Garden

Nur weil ich unachtsam war und vergessen hatte, die Gefährtin meines Gefährten zurückzubringen, ließ ich sie drei Stunden allein in der Wildnis. In rasender Wut warf er mich in einen ausgetrockneten Brunnenschacht am Rande des Niemandslands. „Du solltest selbst einmal das Leid kosten, das Belinda ertragen musste.“ Der Schacht war so tief und eng, dass ich mich nur zusammengerollt in meiner Wolfsform hineinzwängen konnte. Ich bekam kaum Luft. Ich flehte ihn an, gestand meinen Fehler und bat um Hilfe – doch alles, was ich erhielt, war seine eiskalte Verurteilung. „Bereue deine Schuld. Nur wenn du aus dieser Strafe lernst, wirst du begreifen, was es heißt, eine wahre Luna zu sein.“ Er befahl, einen schweren Felsblock über dem Brunnenschacht zu platzieren. Ich brüllte verzweifelt, klammerte mich immer wieder an der Wand empor – nur um erneut in die Tiefe zu stürzen. Die Wände waren zerkratzt von meinen verzweifelten Krallenhieben. Bis meine trockene Kehle keinen Laut mehr hervorbringen konnte. Erst zwei Wochen später, als er das Geburtstagsgeschenk sah, das ich für ihn bestellt hatte, wurde sein Herz einen Moment lang weich. Er beschloss, meine Strafe zu beenden. Doch er wusste nicht, dass mein Körper am Grund des Brunnens längst von Insekten und Schlangen bis zur Unkenntlichkeit zerfressen worden war.

Quando eu tinha sete anos, o papai trouxe pra casa uma mulher bonita. Ela me deu uma caixa de mangas. Naquele dia, enquanto eu comia as mangas toda feliz, a mamãe assinou o acordo de divórcio e se jogou do prédio. Desde então, manga virou o meu pesadelo. Por isso, no dia do meu casamento, eu disse pro meu marido, Ivan Ribeiro: — Se algum dia quiser se divorciar de mim, basta me dar uma manga. Ele me abraçou em silêncio. Desde então, manga também virou o tabu dele. No quinto ano de casamento, na véspera de Natal, a amiguinha de infância dele, Rafaela Lima, deixou uma manga em cima da mesa do escritório. No mesmo dia, Ivan anunciou o fim da amizade com Rafaela e a demitiu da empresa. Naquele momento, eu achei que ele era o homem da minha vida. Mas meio ano depois, voltei do exterior com um contrato de um bilhão fechado. Na festa de comemoração, Ivan me entregou um copo de bebida. Depois de meio copo, Rafaela, a mulher que ele havia expulsado da empresa, apareceu atrás de mim, sorrindo: — Tá gostoso o suco de manga? Olhei pro meu marido, incrédula, enquanto Ivan tentava segurar o riso: — Não fica brava, a Rafaela insistiu pra eu fazer uma brincadeira com você. — Eu nem te dei uma manga de verdade, só um suco de manga. — Mas olha, acho que ela tem razão, o seu problema com manga é exagero! — Você estava bebendo toda animada agora há pouco! De cara fechada, levantei a mão e joguei o resto do suco no rosto dele. Depois, virei as costas e fui embora. Algumas coisas nunca são brincadeira. Manga não é. E o meu pedido de divórcio também não.

Eu estava no meio de uma conferência internacional quando o telefone da Helena tocou. Do outro lado da linha, ela chorava: — Mana, roubaram a minha vaga de intercâmbio... Fui direto para a escola. Encontrei minha irmã encurralada no canto do gabinete, com os olhos cheios de lágrimas. Uma garota de cabelo rosa, maquiagem carregada, apontava o dedo para ela com arrogância: — Vai competir comigo? Eu sou filha da Família Almeida de São Paulo! Meu pai acabou de doar um prédio inteiro de laboratórios para a escola! Quem é você na fila do pão? Até o professor Ricardo entrou na conversa: — Clara, a Cecília é filha da Família Almeida. Seja sensata e não traga problemas para todos nós. Eu já ia retrucar, mas o título "filha da Família Almeida" me fez parar. Família Almeida de São Paulo? Desde quando meu pai tinha outra filha além de mim e da Helena? Na hora liguei para ele e falei, com sorriso frio: — Pai, desde quando você tem outra filha fora do casamento?

Zu Weihnachten wollte mein Schwager unbedingt nach Hawaii in den Urlaub – also beschloss ich, dass die ganze Familie gemeinsam dorthin reist. Kaum hatte die beste Freundin meines Mannes davon erfahren, bestand sie darauf, mit ihrem Kind mitzukommen. Mein Mann zögerte keine Sekunde, kaufte sofort Flugtickets für sie – aber erklärte mir, ich solle das ganze Gepäck mit dem Auto nachfahren. Ich hatte gehofft, der Rest der Familie würde zu mir halten. Aber nein – alle anderen unterstützten seine Entscheidung. Na gut. Wenn das so ist, dann gehen wir eben getrennte Wege. Doch auf einmal bekam seine ganze Familie Angst…
