Enchanting light brown eyes with a tall and slim body. When she smiles you can notice the beautiful dimples at the corners of her mouth. Married to Alejandro Sotomayor and vice- president of Finesse Fashion this was Teresa. In the eyes of society, they were the perfect couple. Most of the time they were; except on the issue of children.
Alejandro Sotomayor is the most handsome and envied man in Miami. He is the president of Finesse Fashion and he had the most beautiful vice-president who also happened to his wife. Alejandro is profoundly and irrevocably in love with his wife and he could not have asked for someone better. The only glitch in their perfect life is his inability to procreate. Alejandro abhorred the fact that he could not have children of his own, it gave him a sense of castration. What he had not thought of is the effect it had on his spouse. He always thought of it as his problem. She had never told him that her ultimate dream was having children...
“Al what are you thinking about?” was the question that interrupted his thoughts.
“Nada amor, just thinking that I'm madly in love with you.” he said looking deep into her brown eyes.
“Y yo a ti.” was her reply as she leaned across the desk to place a tender kiss on his soft full lips. Before leaving the room she lightly caressed his face with the tip of her fingers as if she was committing it to memory.
Teresa knew what Alejandro was really thinking about but she did not want to start the day on a bad foot. She knew she was touching the chink in Alejandro's armor, but bearing children was more than a simple desire it was an ascending need. In the midst of her chaotic thoughts she found the solution to their problem; she was going to have kids in vitro.
They were going to be parents after all and her dream would finally come true...
“Mi amor, can you please sign me these papers?”
“I'm going to get impregnated in vitro”.
“Que?! No, no quiero oir mas”. At that point his fists were clenched and his lips in an extremely tight line.
“ Teresa, I will not have another man's child. What are you trying to do? Destroy years of marriage is what you want. IT won't have anything to do with me and IT will be growing inside this body that I love so much. You will neglect me for IT and I just can't deal with this. Escojaras lo que mas te convenga”. Before Teresa could say another word he stormed out of the room.
Alejandro was feeling tremendously guilty, he knew what he had done was not right. He also knew Teresa would never forgive him.
He was hoping deep within him that Teresa was sleeping as he slowly turned the door knob and slid open the door. Suddenly the lights turned on and the dreaded question was asked.
“Donde estabas?” it was almost a whisper and that is what made him quail with fear.
“Do not come asking me about my whereabouts Teresa”. was his cold reply. His hands were trembling and he was sweating with guilt.
“ Donde. Estabas Alejandro?” her voice rising with each syllable.
“ Just went to drink some beer carino.” the statement smelled like the lie it was and Teresa knew it.
“ Do not lie to me Alejandro.” she screamed with passion as her eyes shot lightening bolts.
“ If the truth is what you want then, I was with another woman.” he yelled back at her in the surge of his anger
This revelation shattered Teresa in all the possible ways. Her expression was a mixture of disappointment and hurt. She winced under the weight of Alejandro's confession.
“Teresa mi amor dime algo por favor. I love you and I don't want this mistake to tear us apart”. The desperation was tangible in his voice.
Teresa stayed motionless with tears trickling down her cheeks. It felt like she had angina and could not breathe. She managed to swallow the ball in her throat and say nothing but a few words.
“ No se que decirte”....
Nada amor – nothing love
Y yo a ti – me too
Mi amor-- my love
Que no quiero oir mas-- what I don't want to listen anymore
Escojaras lo que mas te convenga-- you'll chose what's best for you
Donde estabas-- where were you
Dime algo por favor-- tell me something please
No se que decirte-- I don't know what to tell you
