Disappointment
“Lory, do you mind if we go to lunch and while we're at it, I'll tell you something very important?” Roxana was overjoyed to meet her best friend.
“Oh, my God. My curiosity is killing me, my friend. Tell me at once.” Lory was trying to get her friend to reveal the gossip she had.
“No, no, dear friend. I'll tell you as soon as we meet. I'll wait for you at the restaurant.” Roxana would hang up the call and head to the restaurant.
After a few minutes, Lory arrived at the restaurant. The place was full of people, and the woman scanned the place with her beautiful honey-colored eyes, trying to locate her friend. A task that seemed fruitless due to the dozens of people.
Lory felt an arm around her neck, surprised she turned to look. Roxana laughed with a slight high-pitched giggle and her friend regained her composure and all she could do was let herself be infected with that laughter. The friends embraced and greeted each other with kisses on the cheeks.
She took Lory by the hand and led her to the table. Together they sat down while the waiter passed them their menus. The dialogue between the girls began.
“Amiga I'm so happy, Leonel finally asked me to marry him.” Lory covered her face.
“I'm very happy, my friend. I know you've been waiting for him for a long time.” Lory hugged her friend.
Roxana continued talking while they had lunch, after the two of them, the women said goodbye to see each other again another day. Roxana was on her way home and found Leonel scared, who put his cell phone away anxiously.
“Hi, honey, is something wrong?” asked Roxana.
“Hi, honey. Don't worry, it's a bad joke played on me by my friends. Rather tell me how it went with Lory.” Leonel hugged his girlfriend affectionately.
“It went well, Lory was very happy and asked to be one of my bridesmaids.”
“What a thing with Lory. Haha. On the subject of the wedding, we already have the place for the party and the musical group. They have agreed to confirm the food.” Leonel kissed Roxana.
“Love, stay still. Haha."
At that moment, Leonel grabbed his girlfriend and took her straight to the bedroom. Passionate love was unleashed in that room. In the early morning, Roxana felt like drinking water and got up taking care not to wake him up. When she returned, she saw her boyfriend's cell phone vibrating insistently. She was not one of the women who checked her boyfriend's cell phone, but she was very curious and carefully looked at the device.
She saw several chat messages, started reading and discovered with pain and astonishment that Leonel was unfaithful. Hurtful messages calling her a slut and a fool were repeated throughout the chat. Tears flowed uncontrollably down her beautiful tan face.
Leonel moved and quickly Roxana put the device down on the table. She went to bed slowly and all night long, she kept thinking about who was the woman who wanted to destroy her happiness.
Despite the pain in her chest, Roxana pretended nothing was wrong and just wanted to find out the identity of the intruder. She woke up sobbing and wanted to send her boyfriend to Patagonia, but she restrained herself and began to act masterfully.
“Hello, love, how did you wake up? Leonel hugged and kissed her.
Roxana felt disgust. All the love she had for her boyfriend, collapsed in a few moments with those revealing messages. “Not very well, I'm sick and won't leave the house.”
“Love, I'm worried about you. I'll stay with you.” Leonel was taking her temperature with his hand on her forehead.
“Don't worry. I just need to rest, I'll recover. Go run your errands and I'll wait for you.” A fake smile appeared on Roxana's face.
Leonel kissed her forehead. “I'm going to see about the wedding food and I'll be back to spoil you, my love.”
Leonel was leaving, and Roxana was following him. He stopped at a corner, then a girl dressed in red and a wide-brimmed hat, rushed at him. Roxana could not believe what she was seeing, as tears streamed down her face again.
The woman in red and her boyfriend entered a restaurant. Roxana was determined to discover the woman who took her love away from her, she entered the place and could see them kissing passionately. She shouted in her broken voice, “Damn you!” The revelation of the woman in red was even more shocking, she was her best friend, the one she had shared everything with and felt that as her sister. “Lory, you're a slut, how could you do this to me?”
“Love, I can explain.” Leonel was getting up from the table.
“Shut up.” And a slap was born from Roxana's angry hands. “From that fool I expected anything, but from you. I would never have imagined it. You've disappointed me. You're a bitch.” Roxana took the cup of hot coffee and sprayed it on Lory, who was screaming from the pain. “Go to hell, you fuckers.”
Roxana was running out of the restaurant wrapped in tears and deep pain, which was very difficult to erase. She was losing herself in the horizon as she closed that painful chapter in her life.
The end
Decepción
«Lory, te parece si vamos a almorzar y de paso te cuento algo muy importante». Roxana rebosante de alegría se citaba con su mejor amiga.
«Dios mío. Me está matando la curiosidad, amiga. Dime de una vez». Lory intentaba que su amiga revelara el chisme que tenía.
«No, no, querida amiga. Te lo diré tan pronto nos veamos. Te espero en el restaurante». Roxana cortaba la llamada y se dirigía al restaurante.
Luego de pasados unos minutos, Lory llegaba al lugar. El restaurante estaba lleno de gente, y la mujer escaneaba con sus bellos ojos color miel el lugar, tratando de ubicar a su amiga. Una tarea que parecía infructuosa debido a las docenas de personas.
Lory sintió que un brazo le recorrió el cuello, sorprendida volteó a mirar. Roxana reía con un leve toque agudo y su amiga recobró la compostura y lo único que pudo hacer fue dejarse contagiar con esa risa. Las amigas se abrazaron y se saludaron con besos en las mejillas.
Tomó de la mano a Lory y la llevó hasta la mesa. Juntas se sentaban mientras el mesero les pasaba los menús. El diálogo entre las chicas empezaba.
«Amiga estoy muy feliz, Leonel por fin me pidió matrimonio». Lory se tapaba el rostro.
«Me alegro mucho, amiga. Sé que lo venías esperado por mucho tiempo». Lory abrazaba a su amiga.
Roxana seguía platicando mientras almorzaban, luego de las dos, las mujeres se despedían para volverse a ver otro día. Roxana se dirigía a su hogar y encontró a Leonel asustado, quien guardó su celular afanosamente.
«Hola, amor. ¿Te sucede algo?», preguntaba Roxana.
«Hola, cariño. No te preocupes, es una broma mal gusto que me jugaron los amigos. Mas bien cuéntame cómo te fue con Lory». Leonel abrazaba a su novia cariñosamente.
«Estuvo bien, Lory se puso muy feliz y pidió ser una de mis damas de honor».
«Que cosas con Lory. Jaja. Pasando al tema de la boda, te cuento que ya tenemos el lugar de la fiesta y el grupo musical. Me quedaron a confirmar lo de la comida». Leonel daba un beso a Roxana.
«Amor, quédate quieto. Jajaja».
En ese instante, Leonel tomaba a su novia y la llevaba directo a la alcoba. El amor pasional se desató en aquella habitación. En la madrugada, Roxana sintió ganas de tomar agua y se levantó con cuidado de no despertarlo. Al volver, vio el celular de su novio vibrando con insistencia, ella no era de las mujeres que revisaban el celular de su novio, pero sintió mucha curiosidad y con cuidado vio el dispositivo.
Vio varios mensajes de chat, empezó a leer y descubrió con dolor y asombro que Leonel le era infiel. Los mensajes hirientes llamándola a ella zorra y tonta, se repetían en todo el chat. Las lágrimas fluían incontenibles por su bello rostro color canela.
Leonel se movió y rápidamente Roxana dejo el dispositivo en la mesa. Ella se fue a acostar despacio y durante toda la noche, estuvo pensando en quien era la mujer que quería destruir su felicidad.
A pesar del dolor que le oprimía el pecho, Roxana hizo como si nada pasara y solo quería descubrir la identidad de la intrusa. Amaneció entre sollozos y ganas de mandar a su novio la Patagonia, pero se contuvo y empezó a actuar magistralmente.
«Hola, amor. ¿Cómo amaneciste?». Leonel la abrazaba y besaba.
Roxana sentía asco. Todo el amor que le tenía a su novio, se derrumbó en unos instantes con aquellos mensajes reveladores. «No muy bien, estoy enferma y no saldré de casa».
«Amor, me preocupas. Me quedaré contigo». Leonel le tomaba la temperatura con su mano en la frente.
«No te preocupes. Solo necesito descansar, me recuperare. Ve a hacer tus diligencias y te espero». Una sonrisa fingida aparecía en rostro de Roxana.
Leonel le daba un beso en la frente. «Voy a ver lo de la comida de la boda y vuelvo para consentirte, mi amor».
Leonel salía, y Roxana iba tras él. Se alistó rápidamente siguiéndole como un detective. Él se detuvo en una esquina, después una chica vestida de rojo y sombrero de ala ancha, se abalanzaba sobre él. Roxana no podía creer lo que estaba viendo, en tanto las lágrimas caían nuevamente por su rostro.
La mujer de rojo, y su novio entraron a un restaurante. Roxana estaba decidida a descubrir a la mujer que le quitó a su amor, entró al lugar y pudo verlos besándose apasionadamente. Gritó con su voz quebrada, «¡Malditos!». La revelación de la mujer de rojo fue aún más impactante, era su mejor amiga, aquella a la que le había compartido todo y a la que sentía que como su hermana. «Lory, eres una ramera, ¿cómo pudiste hacerme esto?».
«Amor, te puedo explicar». Leonel se levantaba de la mesa.
«Cállate». Y una cachetada nació de las manos furiosas de Roxana. «De ese tonto esperaba cualquier cosa, pero de ti. Nunca lo habría imaginado. Me has decepcionado. Eres una zorra». Roxana tomó la taza de café caliente y la roció sobre Lory, quien gritaba del dolor. «Váyanse al infierno, malditos».
Roxana salía corriendo del restaurante envuelta en lágrimas y con un profundo dolor, que era muy difícil de borrar. Ella se iba perdiendo en el horizonte mientras cerraba aquel capítulo doloroso en su vida.
