Lo And Behold Meaning

En el octavo año de noviazgo, me interpuse para recibir un cuchillazo que iba dirigido a mi novio, el médico Sebastián Herrera. Él me prometió que podía pedir cualquier cosa a cambio. Todos pensaron que aprovecharía la ocasión para pedirle matrimonio. Yo, en cambio, dije con calma: —Terminemos. Dicho eso, me di la vuelta y me fui. Sebastián sonrió con desdén y apostó con los presentes: —Es solo que quiere llamar la atención; apuesto a que en tres días vuelve llorando a suplicarme que volvamos… Pero se equivocó. Porque yo guardo un secreto: he renacido. En la vida anterior conseguí casarme con él, pero el gran amor de su vida, Camila Duarte, se tiró desde la azotea. Él volcó toda su rabia en mí. La noche de la boda me rasgó la cara; me encerró en un sótano oscuro y estrecho. Cuando quedé embarazada me obligó a tomar cantidades enormes de suplementos. El día del parto el bebé ya era demasiado grande para nacer por vía natural. Al final sangré sin control, me desgarré en un parto imposible y morí. Renací y volví al día en que me puse delante del cuchillo por Sebastián. Esta vez, hago exactamente lo que él espera de mí.

Con solo mencionar los preparativos de la boda, el primer amor de mi prometido salió corriendo en llanto. Luis Enrique me abofeteó con tal fuerza que caí al suelo, mirándome con odio puro: —¿Tan desesperada estás por casarte, Gabriela? ¿Tan patética que necesitas forzarme a esto?¡Posponemos la boda otra vez! Me llevé la mano a la mejilla ardiente, pero ni siquiera latió más rápido mi corazón. Con esta, ya eran ocho postergaciones. De los 28 a los 30 años, esperé en vano una respuesta. Esta vez, hice las maletas en silencio para salir. Al fin entendí: este matrimonio nunca debió existir.

Antes de la boda, descubrí que llevaba más de dos meses embarazada. Leobardo Ríos, algo ebrio, acarició mi vientre y bromeó a medias: —Verónica Vega, aún no estoy preparado para ser padre. ¿Y si no tenemos este bebé? Con el corazón en calma, respondí suavemente: —Está bien. En mi vida pasada, había insistido en quedarme con ese hijo. Pero, cuando Valeria Sánchez perdió el suyo por accidente y quedó con secuelas para volver a concebir, Leobardo me guardó rencor. Después de la boda, su actitud hacia mí fue completamente fría, mientras el hijo que había traído al mundo tras un parto difícil, que casi me costó la vida… lloraba, deseando que Valeria fuera su madre. Más tarde, cuando tuve un accidente de coche y me desangraba, padre e hijo pasaron junto a mí con total indiferencia, con tal de poder llegar a tiempo al parto de Valeria. Mientras yo moría desangrada, ellos celebraban con efusividad una nueva vida. Por eso, en esta nueva oportunidad, no volveré a perderme a mí misma ni tomaré el camino equivocado, por lo que, sin más, marqué el número del director, para anunciarle: —Estoy dispuesta a unirme a la expedición polar.
