The party had become very lively, my parents were very happy, but especially because my sister April was visiting.
—Sister, you don't know how happy it makes me to be home, but above all to see you again, I have so many things to tell you about this year that we have spent without seeing each other.
—I also have many things to tell you. But when is your new husband going to arrive? I'm dying to meet him.
—It's on its way, it's just that it was delayed a little, but better tell me, what happened to your foot?
When Abril asked me that question, I couldn't help but sigh as I remembered everything I had experienced with Luis José.
—Oh April! You don't know what happened to me, I was walking on the beach and without realizing it I stepped on a glass, but suddenly a handsome man came out to help me.
-Oh really? And what happened? Tell me everything like in the old days.
—I can only tell you that he is my unknown savior and he made me have the best weekend.
-Oh really? But don't tell me that you and him...
—Hahahaha Yes sister, everything happened, but my parents can't find out about this because they are capable of disinheriting me.
—But Ana Paula, were you with a stranger? And you didn't think about your fiancé? You definitely went crazy, I just don't know you, you're not like that. And what is the name of that unknown savior?
Just when I was about to give her her name, the bell saved me, because April's cell phone rang and she immediately told me:
—Wait a minute, right now you're still telling me, but it's my husband who's calling me.
—Hello darling, where are you? Everyone is eager to meet you and the birthday girl is already here, the only thing missing is you.
—Honey, I'm here, I'm getting out of the taxi, I just wanted to let you know before I get in.
-What a thrill! Wait for me, I'll look for you so we can go in together.
April was overjoyed, hung up the call and said out loud:
—Attention family! Please everyone, pay attention, my husband is here and I want you to welcome him to this home, so don't move, I'm coming for him.
The family was very attentive and eager to meet April's husband, of whom we had not the slightest idea or what his name was. During the year he had been away from home, he had not had any communication with the family in view of the rejection of my parents for their marriage.
I was eager to meet him, I loved my sister very much and I just wanted her to be happy. And I was also very happy with what I had experienced in Cancun, which is why I had a glass of champagne to toast my brother-in-law.
April went to look for him at the entrance and we were all standing to receive him and give the approval to the new member of the family. I was having my glass of champagne when the door opened and April made her triumphant entrance holding her husband's hand. , while saying:
–Family, I present to you my husband, Dr. Luis José Simanca.
I dropped my champagne glass on the floor and it shattered. Instead of focusing on my sister's husband, everyone looked at me surprised, but especially Luis José, who turned pale when he saw me.
My sister, for her part, first introduced him to my parents and the people who were closest to both of them. I immediately tried to get out of there, but in the midst of the discomfort I had in my foot and the mess of glass that was on the floor, I had no choice but to sit there.
Immediately a young woman from the service staff began to collect the glass, while I was trembling and frozen with nerves, I only managed to think to myself:
-My God! This can't be happening to me, it has to be a nightmare.
My sister was getting closer, the moment she feared so much had arrived:
—Ana Paula, meet my husband, honey, this is my sister Ana Paula.
Luis José looked me straight in the eyes, trying to understand what was happening. At the same time I looked at him full of anger and fear, I didn't know what to do, if I told April that he was my unknown savior with whom I had had relations without even knowing him, I was going to see a great tragedy in the family and my father was capable of to kill him.
“My God, tell me, what do I do?” I was thinking to myself, but to my surprise, Luis José extended his hand while saying to me:
—It's a pleasure to meet you. —I extended my hand to her after thinking about it for a few seconds that seemed eternal to me, but even so I didn't say a single word, which made April wonder.
—But what's wrong sister? You will not say anything?
—I... I... with permission I must go to the bathroom.
I couldn't say anything to April, much less to her traitor of a husband; I left there terrified, when I said I needed to go to the bathroom, I meant it very seriously, because as soon as I entered I returned everything I had eaten, including the delicious champagne I was drinking.
Something inside my body made me reject everything that was happening and somehow my subconscious made me vomit out all the disgust I was feeling at that moment.
I poured plenty of cold water on my face, looked in the mirror and said to myself:
“Ana Paula, you have laid out the cake, and now what are you going to do? How are you going to look at your sister after you slept with her husband? My God! He was too good to be so perfect.
For her part, Abril had stayed with Luis José, very surprised by my reaction.
—But I don't understand what happened to Ana Paula, I swear she's not like that. I just don't want you to think badly of my family. She was very excited to meet you, I better go look for her and see if she is okay.
-No love! Please leave her alone, maybe she wants to be alone, we should better go to a hotel, after all I don't think it's convenient for us to stay the night at your parents' house.
Just at that moment my father managed to hear what Luis José had said, and immediately told them:
—What did I just hear? How are they going to sleep in a hotel? Of course not! It was enough to have a year without seeing my daughter for her to stay in a hotel. You guys are staying here, I've already sent the guest room ready, so enjoy the party. And by the way, where is Ana Paula?
—I don't know, Dad, I think he feels bad because he ran to the bathroom.
—Ha! That's going to go away when she sees the surprise her fiancé has for her, well I'll leave you, I'm going to say hello to the other guests.
Luis José was shocked by what dad had said and immediately asked Abril:
—Is your sister engaged?
—Yes, honey, he's one of dad's partners, he has a lot of money, but he's an unbearable guy, you'll get to know him.
Luis José thought as he took a sip of champagne:
“So Ana Paula is engaged, no wonder she avoided the conversation when I asked her.”
-What's wrong sweetheart? You were thoughtful... Oh, I know! It's because you don't want us to stay here, isn't it?
—No… well yes, I mean, the thing is that I don't want to bother your family.
—It's not a bother, besides this way they know you much better and they will realize that I fell in love with you because you are the best man in the world. —he said while giving him a kiss on the lips, which is why he became more nervous than he was.
—Love, please don't kiss me like that in front of your family.
—But what does he have? You're my husband, so there's nothing wrong.
—By the way, I need to go to the bathroom too. Where is it?
—Let me take you.
—No, it's not necessary, better tell me where it is and meanwhile you look for some drinks.
Luis José just wanted to find me, he was afraid that I would make a scandal and discover it to everyone, but in reality I was more terrified than him and the least I wanted at that moment was for the truth to come to light.
