took off his glasses and wiped with a cloth orange. Then he leaned his arm and putting them on the table. It had just lifted after three hours of sleep. Marcelo Longobardi spoke with some interference. The darkness of the night hiding spots humidity of the kitchen, while she waited for her husband to return. "That sly old" thinking. Manipulating a rosary in his fingers. The sound of a cat fight distracted her. He looked out the window but could not see. Joints ached more and for varicose veins could barely walk. Controlled the pain to return to focus on their memories. He recalled what had happened to this man.
Her husband, Jerome, was a good man but had always made her suffer. She always forgave him because his mother told him that the women came into this world to suffer. Marisa always defended and cared for her husband, since they met. At that time, Jerome earned life with small stories of the various scams and uncle. Marisa met him at a spring dance Pehuajo organized in their village. She was with Rodolfo Cuenca, her betrothed before he met Jerome. This had come to town to escape the police and wanted to take dance to raise money before continuing their flight. But plans changed when they met. Marisa returned from the bathroom, taking a break from boredom with Rodolfo Cuenca. Jerome wandered by. He saw her and fell in love. Approached him and started talking. Marisa soon ended up falling head over heels and left the site. That evening, Jerome told him who I was and told him was fleeing from justice. Marisa did not mind any of that, she loved him and was willing to follow him wherever he is, that night, escaped together. Were caught in Bolivar. Jerome was convicted and sent to prison in Olmos. The six years in prison were very harsh. Marisa decided to move to La Plata, to be closer to Jerome. Began to make a living weaving clothing and caring guys. Her parents disowned for falling in love with a scammer. She did not care. She was in love.
When Jerome came, he began working as calm at the Museum of Natural Sciences of La Plata. Marisa had stopped working when Robert, the first of his two children. Marisa
never liked the work of Jerome. She always thought it was dangerous, something that could happen but what hurt was not able to sleep any night with him. Thus, began sleeping less and less. By day going back and forth with the kids, at night I was alone and worried. I always thought that would happen to her and the boys if Jerome was gone. When Oscar was born, the second, this idea was deepened. I become sleepless nights, crying at night. When the children left the house, Marisa was calmed a little and started sleeping more and more. His final peace came two years ago, when Jerome was removed. Retirement It was not much, but she did not care. Now would be able to spend more time together to enjoy their grandchildren, to enjoy them.
But that all changed about two months weeks ago, when Jerome bought a black monkey, tiny and pretty ugly. He said it was a pet. Marisa never knew where he had gotten good as he had trained, nor did he ever wanted to tell. She did not say anything because her mother had told him that a woman should not ever get things of men. The monkey quickly became a nuisance. Discharged on all sides, broke several vases and even attacked one of her grandchildren, though the incident did not happen to adults. Despite all this, Jerome always defended the monkey.
Since I had bought was acting weird, but Marisa did not suspect anything until yesterday, when a neighbor who had heard from an acquaintance of someone who saw him had told him: Jerome used the monkey to come to rob houses. Marisa was furious. "That old crafty" he thought. When it came I was going to sing a couple of truths. It was unfair that he did this. She loved him but he was tired of suffering for him.
Jerome entered the house trying not to make noise. He carried the monkey on his shoulder. He was heading to the kitchen where he met Marisa. This looked at him with hatred. The radio cut the tension with a pin. Jerome went to the refrigerator, took out the milk, then took a bowl and put it on the table. The monkey got out of his shoulder and began to take the plate.
- Above you give milk to that crap? - Marisa said, containing his anger.
"I can explain, love ...- Jerome said.
- What you got to explain, trash? - Marisa said, furious, I'm sick, just go out to go to church and you do this! -
Marisa made a short pause for breath. He wanted to stop but could not and sat. With his hand, threw the plate on the floor. This was shattered and the floor was soaked with milk.
"But, my love, listen ...- reached say.
- Listen, my ass, "interrupted Maria," you would not think of me, in your children or grandchildren? Marisa
was silent for a few seconds.
- andate, andate - Marisa cry, on the verge of tears.
There was a moment of silence, the monkey climbed the shoulder of Jerome. After a few seconds were as fast as he could to the room and returned with a fine pearl necklace. The monkey gave it to Marisa.
"It's for you," Jerome said.
Marisa took the necklace in her hands and examined it, the brightness of the stones looked beautiful. Then I looked at Jerome.
"Well ... I do not know what to say," he stammered. Jerome
smiled. He opened the refrigerator and poured himself a glass of water. Marisa watched. It felt a little guilty for having mistreated her husband. At the end of the day, Jerome did think on it. "Forgive
...- Marisa-I stammered out there ... ... I should not ... -
Jerome looked at her and smiled again. Marisa looked at the monkey, which was on the table.
"It's nice," she said, shocked.
