Perfect Lie Positive
+GISELA+ Oh... What happened to me? I stir with difficulty, feeling a lot of pain all over my body... Mainly, my head hurts too much. I slowly open my eyes. Where am I? I try to concentrate and make an effort to remember, but my attempt is unsuccessful. "Good afternoon, how are you feeling, miss," a doctor suddenly enters the room, "Calm down, I don't want you to get upset." Of course, I'm in the hospital! It is there that I begin to understand everything around me. There are many devices monitoring my heartbeat, and oxygen. Oh my God! Immediately my eyes widen and go straight to my hand, and there is indeed a catheter in my right hand connected to a drip. No... No... No, this can't be happening to me. I have only come to have a couple of tests done, as I have been experiencing a lot of pain in my stomach, and my menstruation is not coming as it should be a concern. I didn't come here willingly, actually, I'm here because Lucero insisted. We took advantage of Adal leaving for hi
Perfect Lie Fear of being a mother
I interrupt her, telling her that I need to talk to my friend first. Ah... This might all be madness, or I may be making a mistake. Unfortunately, this pregnancy and everything that's happening to me is a result of my own actions. I'm afraid Adal will find out and reject me. It seems the doctor is one of those romantic women because she gave me a smile accompanied by a "congratulations". She quickly gives me the prescription I wanted. I still don't know what I'll do with the baby, but for now, I have to take that prescription. Maybe I'll need it someday. Done! She hands it over to me and with a "thank you," I say goodbye to her and slowly leave. I try to speed up my pace, but the tremor and dizziness in my body prevent me from doing so. As I leave the room, I come face to face with Lucero's worried gaze. She gets up from where she was sitting, runs towards me and tells me how worried she was. I take a deep breath, try to make my words flow and not break down, but it was all useles
Perfect Lie Returning to my reality.
+ More than three weeks have passed, almost reaching a month, and I still haven't given myself the chance to be honest with Adal. I haven't told him that he will be a father, which I found out a month ago through calls and video. I admit that I am a damn coward, and I dragged Lucero into all of this by making her promise not to tell him or Alfonso. I am the only person who has the right to tell him, and it's not that I want to be a heartless bitch. On the contrary, I don't want her to get upset because things don't turn out the way she expects. Adal and Alfonso will be back in a couple of days, and that's not all. They're coming with their parents because they plan to extend their vacation. The situation has worsened, which means I will have to tell them the truth in front of their parents. Although it hurts to admit that I will feel their rejection, I have no choice but to confess. My symptoms say a lot, as does the size of my belly. Can I be a strong and brave woman? Yes, it's ju
Perfect Lie Surprise trip
+ADAL+ It's time to go back, Gisela has been acting strange, something I can explain; she doesn't have time for anything, always has an excuse, and I, like a fool, believe them I didn't bring her with me because I didn't want her to continue feeling lonely and trapped, but apparently, I did wrong because she must be imagining that I have abandoned her, that I am here doing my own thing, even planning how to end our marriage. I will give her a surprise; she has to know once and for all that my feelings are true, that there is nothing shady. My mother is in good health and emotionally stable now; she wants to accompany me, she wants to get out of her house because she can't stand being cooped up. I have no choice but to take her; I don't want her to die trying, or blame me for not taking her out, even if it's for a few days. Alfonso and I have taken care of the pending work because we need to spend more time in Prague. However, now with my desperation, I will hurry my trip, and in
Perfect Lie The idea of being a mother is beautiful
+GISELA+ Today, I woke up with the desire to go out, I put on my nicest clothes and ran to the car, heading towards an entirely unknown direction. She is the one in the driver's seat, while I am sitting next to her, watching as we pass by buildings and how we get farther away from home. I couldn't resist for long when I brought my hand to my belly, remembering that we are not alone, that a little ball inside of me may be listening to us. "Do you think we'll stay here?" My question made her start coughing. "It's not to make you nervous, I just want to know if you think Adal thinks it's good for us to stay here or if we should go back." Suddenly, many questions came to my mind. I like this city, but Berlin as well. Oh, it's possible that we may return because Lucero's life and work are there, and here is like my friend and at the same time because Adal has asked us to. Suddenly she answers that she would love to stay, but also to leave, as she is aware that vacations are not eternal
Perfect Lie It's not April Fool's Day
No, this must be a damn dream, a nightmare that is tormenting me to wake up. I wonder a thousand times what he's doing here, why didn't he give notice? But if it's all a dream, he can appear whenever he damn well pleases. I look down, and my eyes widen as I see the baby's things scattered on the floor. Leaving behind the question of whether it's real or a dream, I quickly crouch down to pick them up while thinking and thinking about what I'm going to say. No, you're a complete lunatic, it's obvious that it's not a dream, the real flesh-and-blood Adal is waiting for you to answer, to stop being for the first time the woman who evades him, who doesn't tell him the truth. "Um... It's just that we went for a walk and I think we forgot to bring our phones," and the first thing that comes out of my mouth is lie after lie. I stand up at the same time that I cross my fingers, hoping that Adal's presence is a mirage. "It's not a mirage," I whisper, answering myself. "Of course, I'm not a m
Perfect Lie Goodbye to pain
+ "I'm leaving, leaving Italy, Berlin, and Prague behind to live in Madrid, Spain. Lucero is giving me a hand, one that I don't want to disregard because I have a lot ahead of me. I've put aside those hours of crying and mourning. I am a woman who wants to work hard for the child I carry inside. Right now, I'm staying in a hotel while Lucero is in New York for a family reunion. She's left me here with the condition that I stay calm and not try to hide from her. She's promised me, even swearing on her life, that she'll always be with me. I don't want her to focus on me; she has a life to take care of. I don't want her to go out of her way for me; it wouldn't be fair. That's why I haven't stayed locked up inside today. No, I've gone out to look for work, no matter if it's as a domestic worker or even just making copies. Work is work. Even though I don't have my resume with me, I'll enter anywhere with a sign that says 'worker wanted.' I have the drive; the symptoms of pregnancy won't
Perfect Lie Sorrows
+ After waiting for half an hour, I waited for the girl Dolores to finish work and while I waited, I began to think how lucky I was to have someone with a good and kind heart help me find a job. I waited and waited almost two meters away from the store where she worked, not wanting to be a bother or stalker, so I waited until she finished her shift and called me. I gave her my number, and it was wonderful, yes, it filled me with joy because she was in front of me with that infectious smile. I went up to her and thanked her again. I didn't mind boring her, no, my intentions were to show gratitude. She told me not to thank her and that we should hurry since her friend was waiting for us. No small talk, just action. I followed her lead and as we arrived at the hotel, "Rui Plaza España", no, this wasn't what I was expecting, this wasn't just any hotel. It was a five-star hotel! My feet started to tremble, I thought the job was too much for me, I didn't think I could handle it. I swall
