En una ajetreada tarde de verano betty iba caminando hacia su trabajo apurada viendo a lo lejos la playa que adornaba el camino,
los bañistas disfrutaban del sol y las cristalinas aguas, con esa sensación de libertad que solo puede verse en esta época del año.
Se detuvo por un momento y su mente comenzó a divagar por viejos recuerdos que la transportaron a otra época, en la cual ella simplente vivia por las fiestas, y en las cuales en una tarde así, sin duda ella sería no solo parte, sino la protagonista de la fiesta.
En ese momento como si llegará desde sus recuerdos, apareció el amor más intenso de su vida, Erick quien, una década atras desató una irrepetible pasión en ella, El la saludó con el mismo afecto de otrora y le invitó a tomarse un café para hablar de los viejos tiempos, intercambiaron números y ella siguió hacia su trabajo, pero no pudo concentrarse, no dejó de pensar en aquel encuentro y los recuerdos de aquella desenfrenada pasión la hizo plantearse en llamarlo.
No podía pensar en otra cosa, ni en su familia, esposo y tres niños pequeños, por lo cual esa noche al llegar a la casa donde todos estaban durmiendo le escribió a su antiguo amor.
El estaba ansioso por verse, como si intuyera las pasiones reprimidas por Betty, pero aquella charla que estaba a punto de calentar el tono, fué interrumpida por la llegada al cuarto de su pequeño Isaac, quien se despertó buscando a su madre.
La mujer palideció, presicamente despertó Isaac, cuyo nombre fue puesto por su esposo en honor a su querido tió quien coincidencialmente compartía con aquel amigo que pereció en una noche de fiesta, por una imprudenciade Erick.
De pronto la mujer recuperó el sentido, no más considerar una idelización de ese pasado, pues tanta pasión y juerga habían terminado en tragedia, su hijo sin quererlo era un recordatorio andante para aquella mujer de no volver a tomar esa ruta de desenfreno y placer que solo la llevó a un gran sufrimiento, por la perdida de un amor y de un amigo, con lo cual rápidamente terminó con la llamada, despidiendose por siempre, y salió a la atención de aquel pequeño que la llamaba.
Mientras leía un cuento a su hijo para dormirlo, recordó las palabras de su madre luego de los sucesos ocurridos con su amigo, y su amor, "cuando tengas ganas de volver a esa vida, recuerda todo lo que has logrado con tu familia y trabajo, y todo lo que estaba lo malo que teestaba pasando en esa época, lo mejor es simplemente recordarte Manten la distancia"
Manten la distancia?
Logró decir su hijo, repitiendo a su madre quien pensó en voz alta, a lo que ella respondió con mucho cariño,
Tranquilo mi niño, no es nada tu solo duermete, mama esta a tu lado.
Betty miro a los lados a verificar que su esposo nola oyera pues no sabía que tanto habia expresado, pero nada una vez dormido Isaac todo volvia a un absoluto silencio, en el cual Betty reflexionó sobre el porque habia pasado aquello y se prometió no volver a buscar a Erick..
Al día siguiente volvió a ver la playa pero ya no con nostalgia, sino con la firme convicción que ya había aprendido su lección de vida, y de continuar con su camino.
Muchas Gracias por leer!
ENGLISH
On a busy summer afternoon betty was walking to work in a hurry, looking at the beach that adorned the road in the distance,
bathers were enjoying the sun and the crystal clear waters, with that sense of freedom that can only be seen at this time of year.
She stopped for a moment and her mind began to wander through old memories that transported her to another time, in which she simply lived for the parties, and in which on such an afternoon, she would undoubtedly be not only part, but the protagonist of the party.
At that moment, as if it would come from her memories, the most intense love of her life appeared, Erick who, a decade ago unleashed an unrepeatable passion in her. He greeted her with the same affection of yesteryear and invited her to have a coffee to talk about old times, they exchanged numbers and she continued to her work, but she could not concentrate, she could not stop thinking about that meeting and the memories of that unbridled passion made her think about calling him.
She couldn't think of anything else, not even her family, husband and three small children, so that night when she arrived home where they were all sleeping, she wrote to her old love.
He was anxious to see each other, as if he sensed Betty's repressed passions, but that talk, which was about to heat up the tone, was interrupted by the arrival in the room of his little Isaac, who woke up looking for his mother.
The woman paled, and Isaac awoke, whose name was given by her husband in honor of his beloved uncle who coincidentally shared with that friend who perished on a night of partying, due to Erick's recklessness.
Suddenly the woman came to her senses, no longer considering an idelization of that past, because so much passion and revelry had ended in tragedy, her son was a reminder for that woman not to take that route of debauchery and pleasure that only led to great suffering, for the loss of a love and a friend, which quickly ended the call, saying goodbye forever, and went out to the attention of that little boy who called her.
While reading a bedtime story to her son, she remembered her mother's words after the events with her friend and her love, "when you feel like going back to that life, remember everything you have achieved with your family and work, and everything that was bad that was happening to you at that time, the best thing to do is just to remember you from a distance."
Keep your distance?
Her son managed to say, repeating to his mother who thought aloud, to which she responded with much affection,
Calm down my boy, it's nothing, you just go to sleep, mom is by your side.
Betty looked to the sides to verify that her husband did not hear her because she did not know how much she had expressed, but once Isaac was asleep everything returned to an absolute silence, in which Betty reflected on why that had happened and promised herself not to look for Erick again.
The next day she saw the beach again, but no longer with nostalgia, but with the firm conviction that she had learned her life lesson, and to continue on her way.
Thank you very much for reading!
