MARGOT AND GERARDO


It was a day like any other, outside the window the cricket could be heard and she was sitting there, lethargic thinking about what? Nobody knows, he continued with his daily routine, he was there although his mind was flying, he traveled perhaps to other worlds, those places that he could only access in his imagination, nobody knew, they were an enigma, nobody could know what was going through Margot's mind. This is how her story begins, the story of any girl, it can be your story, it can be mine, anyone's, the truth is that today it's Margot's turn.
She was a beautiful girl with golden hair, very big blue eyes, beautiful, the envy of many women, her soul a free spirit, no one could control her, she said how much she wanted and without fear of what they would say ah! Yes, she was fine, and with refined manners, which made her more attractive to many, but she was not paying any attention to her.


One winter day, while Margot was walking through the square, she slipped in the street and a gentle gentleman came to her aid, who carried her and took her home as she was unable to walk and, strangely enough, Margot felt protected by that strange man whom I had never seen. She thanked him for that kind gesture by inviting him to dinner, time passed and as the days passed their friendship grew, Margot opened her heart, she felt that there was no day that could pass without seeing Gerardo, she felt that half of her lost soul had arrived She felt that her soul would no longer be wandering, Margot drew joy on her face.

Gerardo felt that he could not live without her, so one day he decided to talk with her parents and asked for their hand, his father gladly accepted because he came to think that the young woman would never marry because of how rebellious she was.


The wedding day arrived, everything was joy, the families celebrated that event, much splendor, much luxury, money was not lacking, the people of the town wondered what Margot had seen in Gerardo an old man, rather ugly, that alone she I knew, nobody understood it and she didn't care because she was happy.
Many years passed and her life passed, Margot changed somewhat, she was no longer sullen, she liked parties, and when she did she invited everyone, her house was the meeting place par excellence, meanwhile Gerardo, every day became more calm, he did not share, he did not enjoy the parties organized by his beloved wife; but it was so much love that she had that she allowed them without saying anything.

One day Gerardo asked Margot to go out the two of them and she accepted, when she was in the meadow under the shade of a tree Gerardo asked her: Margot love of my life, are you happy by my side? Am I what you expected? And she is with her big eyes full of tears, with her sweet and tender face she replied: If my beloved there is not a day that I am not grateful that you are part of my life I love you with my being, I love you with my life, I love you because Without you I would miss everything, never doubt that I love you.

Margot, if I asked you not to have any more parties, would you do it? If Gerardo, if you want it, there will be no more party, he interrupted her.No Margot, you can continue with your entertainments, I am not the one to take away your joy, not my beloved, I just understood that my follies make you unhappy no more the rain I don't want you to get sick, I promise there will be no more parties, it will just be you and me.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif


One fine day she returned from shopping earlier than expected and realized that Gerardo was not there, how strange! exclaimed where had he gotten? He looked for him for a long time and while he looked around the stable he heard some moans, he entered very carefully to get to see the scene, Gerardo her beloved husband who was the love of her life, was in the arms of another woman, the young maid of home. Margot could not believe it and when she left she did it very carefully so that no one realized what she had seen, after a while she verified that it was not only that time that this happened, in fact it happened on many occasions, the deception of her husband with this young woman was almost daily.
Since then he had cooked delicious recipes that were the envy of all, he treated him with great affection and Gerardo was very grateful that Margot was once again the woman he married, with whom he fell in love.

Soon that youthful, rosy, and beautiful girl, disappeared, left their lives, no one knew anything more about her, she was just another maid, no one commented on anything, she just left. Gerardo assumed that Margot had made her but he never touched on the subject, he did not have the courage to talk to her about it.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif


After some time Gerardo was ill, every day he was weaker to the point of not being able to get out of bed, his wife fed and cared for him and everyone said that it would not last long that poor Margot would be left alone because her husband was much older than her.


One very cold afternoon when Gerardo was lying down with almost no strength, unable to get out of bed, unable to make almost any sound, and on the verge of death, Margot approached him in anguish, crying and said there you are my love, that's it close your departure.

Soon you will leave me alone and I will be happy again, There is a short time until you go to hell! If to hell where do you belong, Margot's face changed, Gerardo confused and with what little strength he had left asked her why she said that, while Margot laughed with a diabolical laugh at what her husband suffered and said: "You will return to the Hell where did you come from ", you gave me wings, you taught me to fly, you became my world, you were my everything and so that, to change me for the maid, I do not forgive you, I will never do it, for you I changed who I was, for you I am what I am and as you know, I will be a widow, everyone will feel sorry for me, and I will pretend to suffer, just as you pretended to love me, I will say that I took care of you and fed you daily with a lot of love and yes, I fed you, the meat that you ate first, hers, that lost girl, that you thought was gone, but no one knew more about her. She, she is inside you.


Margot laughed with a crazy laugh, it was at that moment that Gerardo understood her terrible words, and it was also the moment in which, with great despair Gerardo gave his last breath, left, had left living a horror in his last minutes of life But no one knew, no one will know

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif


How Margot said it there were tears, hugs and Gerardo was fired by his beloved wife, people commented "poor thing was left alone", "poor thing was her lover", she listened to everything, but did not give importance to the end she was free.


As the days passed Margot changed again, she no longer spoke, she did not see anyone, she did not receive visitors, she only flew in her mind, she laughed with mad laughter, in her memory she repeated over and over that winter afternoon when Gerardo left, and so Margot sat looking out the window, looking for her lost soul, looking for her laugh, there she stayed, until the last of her days

MARGOT Y GERARDO
Era un día como cualquiera, fuera de la ventana el grillito se escuchaba y ella estaba alli sentada, aletargada pensando, en que? Nadie lo sabe, seguía con su rutina diaria, estaba allí aunque su mente volaba, viajaba quizás a otros mundos, esos lugares a los que solo podía acceder en su imaginación,nadie lo sabia, eran un enigma, nadie podía saber que cosa pasaba por la mente de Margot. Así comienza su historia, la historia de una chica cualquier, puede ser tu historia, puede ser la mía, la de cualquiera, lo cierto es que hoy le toco a Margot.
Era una hermosa muchacha de cabellera dorada,ojos azules muy grandes, hermosa, la envidia de muchas mujeres, su alma un espíritu libre, nadie podía controlarla, decía cuánto quería y sin miedo al que dirian ¡ah! eso sí, era fina, y de modales refinados, lo que la hacía mas atractiva para muchos, pero está a nadie le hacía caso.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif

Un día de invierno mientras Margot paseaba por la plaza resbaló en la calle y fue en su auxilio un gentil caballero, quien la cargo y la llevo a su casa pues está no podía caminar y por extraño que parezca Margot se sintió protegida por aquel hombre extraño a quien nunca había visto. Agradeció aquel gesto tan amable invitándolo a cenar, paso el tiempo y conforme pasaron los días su amistad crecía,Margot abría su corazón, sentía que ya no había día que pudiera pasar sin ver a Gerardo, sentía que había llegado la mitad de su alma perdida, sentía que su alma ya no estaria errante, Margot dibujaba en su rostro la alegría.
Gerardo sentía que sin ella no podía vivir, por lo que un buen día decidió conversar con los padres de ella y su mano les pidió, su padre gustoso acepto pues este llegó a pensar que la joven nunca se casaría por lo rebelde que era.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif

Llegó el día de la boda todo fue alegría las familias celebraban aquel acontecimiento, mucho esplendor, mucho lujo, el dinero no faltó, la gente del pueblo se preguntaba que había visto Margot en Gerardo un hombre viejo, más bien feo, eso solo ella lo sabía, nadie lo entendía y a ella no le importaba pues era feliz.
Pasaron muchos años y su vida transcurría, Margot cambio un tanto ya no era huraña le gustaban las fiestas, y cuando las hacía invitaba a todo el mundo, su casa era el sitio de reuniones por excelencia, mientras tanto Gerardo, cada día se volvía más tranquilo, no compartía, no disfrutaba de las fiestas organizadas por su amada esposa; pero era tanto el amor que le tenía que las permitía sin decir nada.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif

Un día Gerardo le pidió a Margot salir los dos solos y ella aceptó, cuando estaba en la pradera bajo la sombra de un árbol Gerardo le preguntó: ¿Margot amor de mi vida eres feliz a mi lado? ¿Soy lo que esperabas? Y está con sus grandes ojos llenos de lágrimas, con su cara dulce y tierna le respondió: ¡Si amado mío no hay día que no agradezca que seas parte de mi vida te amo con mi ser, te amo con mi vida, te amo porque sin ti me faltaría todo, nunca dudes que yo te amo.
Margot si te pidiera no hacer más fiestas ¿lo harías? Si Gerardo si tú lo quieres no habrán más fiesta, este la interrumpió ¡No Margot puedes seguir con tus agasajos yo no soy quien para quitarte la alegria, no amado mío acabo de entender que mis locuras te hacen infeliz ya no más, regresemos se asoma la lluvia no quiero que te enfermes, prometo que no habrán más fiestas, solo seremos tu y yo.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif

Un buen día ella regresó de las compras antes de lo esperado y se dio cuenta que Gerardo no estaba, ¡qué extraño! exclamó donde se habra metido? Lo busco por mucho tiempo y mientras miraba alrededor del establo escuchó algunos gemidos, entro con mucho cuidado para llegar a ver la escena, Gerardo su amado esposo que era el amor de su vida, estaba en los brazos de otra mujer, la joven criada de la casa. Margot no podía creerlo y al salir lo hizo con mucho cuidado para que nadie se diera cuenta de lo que había visto, luego de un tiempo comprobó que no fue solo esa vez que esto pasó, de hecho ocurrio en muchas ocasiones, el engaño de su marido con esta joven era casi a diario.
Desde entonces le cocinaba deliciosas recetas que eran la envidia de todos, lo trataba con mucho cariño y Gerardo estába muy agradecido porque Margot volvía a ser la mujer con la que se casó, de la que se enamoró.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif

Pronto aquella juvenil, rosagante, y hermosa chica, desaparecio se fue de sus vidas nadie supo nada más de ella, solo fue una criada más, nadie comento nada, solo se fue. Gerardo asumió que Margot la había hechado pero nunca tocó el tema no tenía el valor de hablar con ella de aquello.
Pasado algo de tiempo Gerardo enfermo, cada día era más débil al punto de no poder levantarse de la cama, su esposa lo alimentaba y cuidaba y todos decían que no duraría mucho que la pobre Margot quedaría sola porque su esposo era mucho mayor que ella.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif

Una tarde muy fría cuando Gerardo estaba acostado casi sin fuerzas, sin poder levantarse de la cama, sin poder emitir casi ningún sonido, y al borde de la muerte, Margot se le acercó angustiada, llorando y le dijo ahí estas mi amor, ya esta cerca tu partida. Pronto me dejarás sola y seré feliz de nuevo, Falta poco tiempo para que te vayas al infierno! Si al infierno a dónde perteneces, la cara de Margot cambió, Gerardo confundido y con la poca fuerza que le quedaba le preguntó por qué decía eso, mientras Margot se reía con una risa diabólica por lo que sufría su marido y afirmó: "volverás al infierno de donde viniste", me diste alas, me enseñaste a volar, te convertiste en mi mundo, fuiste mi todo y para que, para cambiarme por la sirvienta, no te perdono, nunca lo haré, por ti cambié quien era, por ti soy lo que soy y como sabes, voy a quedar viuda, todos me tendrán lástima,y fingiré sufrir, así como tú fingiste amarme, diré que te cuidé y te alimenté a diario con mucho amor y si, te di de comer, la carne que comiste primero, la de ella, esa niña perdida, que creiste que se fué, pero nadie supo mas de ella. Ella, ella está dentro de ti.
Margot se rió con una risa loca, fue en ese momento que Gerardo entendió sus terribles palabras, y fue tambien el instante en que, con gran desesperacion Gerardo dió su último suspiro, se fue, había partido viviendo un horror en sus últimos minutos de vida pero nadie lo supo, nadie lo sabrá.

2a1363b291bc05c59718588a76fbac842dda5863_hq.gif

Cómo lo dijo Margot hubo llantos, abrazos y Gerardo fue despedido por su amada esposa, la gente comentaba "pobrecita quedó sola", "pobre se fue su amado", ella escuchaba todo, pero no le daba importancia al fin era libre.
Mientras los días pasaban Margot volvio a cambiar, ya no hablaba, no veía a nadie, no recibía visitas, solo volaba en su mente, reía con risa loca, en su memoria repetía una y otra vez aquella tarde de invierno cuando Gerardo partió, y asi Margot, se quedo sentada mirando por la ventana, buscando su alma perdida, buscando su risa, allí se quedó, hasta el último de sus días

A beautiful and haunting story of love and deception and a twisted revenge. Wow, I didn't expect what he ate. That was a surprise. He deserved it in some ways. But the young maid was probably just doing as he asked. I liked your story. Thank you for sharing.

Que relato tan espectacular!
Me encantó. Me retuvo de principio a fin. Felicitaciones y muchas gracias por compartir!

Wow, that is an intense story, with a great twist, @mayifiestas! You are a good storyteller.

Just a few helpful comments for you:

  • There are a few places where the pronouns are a little mixed up - for example using "he" instead of "she." (See Tip #3 in this post: Help for the Grammatically Challenged.
  • Images should always be from license-free sites, such as Pixabay.com, Pexels.com or Unsplash.com. (It's copyright infringement to use images you find on Google.) And for each image, you should supply a reference to the image source, with a link.

Thank you for participating in The Ink Well challenge!

Thank you very much for the suggestions, I will take them into account to improve.
