Aureolina no soportó su traición.

Aureolina es una joven de ojos oscuros, comparable al azabache, que contrastan con su cabellera castaña y elegante, es muy sincera no tolera la mentira. Es nativa de un pueblo rural de Carúpano, Estado Sucre-Venezuela. En Cumaná, tuvo la oportunidad de matricularse en la Universidad Núcleo de Sucre, académica en Trabajo Social. Su objetivo es adquirir una Licenciatura en Trabajo Social, con el propósito de superar sus condiciones de vida y mejorarlas. Ayudar a sus progenitores, quienes son sumamente pobres y muy mayores. Tener una casa propia, un esposo y sus hijos.

Cuando Auri entró en clase y tomó asiento. El profesor, que impartía la asignatura, se acercó a donde estaba sentada, le sonrió y le guiñó un ojo. Ella, como una niña de pueblo, se sonrojó y sus mejillas se pusieron rojas como fresas maduras.

El profesor inició la clase: “Buenos días, mi nombre es Rafael. Ahora cada uno se pone de pie y me dice su nombre, para conocerlos”

Cuando le tocó su turno, ella se levantó y dijo:" Aureolina, por cariño me llaman Auri". Al concluir la clase, estando sola en el pasillo, mientras esperaba para entrar al salón, a escuchar otra asignatura. El profesor, Rafael, se le acercó y le dijo: “Te invito al cafetín a tomar un café” Ella le respondió: Gracias, no me gusta café“” Él agregó: “Acompáñame y pides lo que quieras”.

Al llegar al cafetín él le preguntó “¿Que te gustaría tomar?”

“Una amerengada de guanábana”. Él ordenó que le sirvieran un café negro y la amerengada. Mientras disfrutaban de esos aperitivos. Él le dijo: “Qué hermosa eres, con esos ojos que parecen dos estrellas con la oscuridad de las nubes, preñadas de agua” Ella sonrió, con una picardea en su rostro, que lo cautivó.

A partir de ese momento surgió entre ellos una hermosa amistad. Con el transcurrir del tiempo se convirtió en amor. Poco después, él le pidió que fuera su esposa. Fueron a su pueblo a hablar con sus progenitores. Luego se casaron, y ese día él le juró fidelidad y que nunca le mentiría.

Su regalo de bodas fue una hermosa casa, a su nombre, en el Parcelamiento Miranda. Se controló con el ginecólogo, para no tener hijos tan pronto, ya que su meta era graduarse en la Universidad. Al año siguiente, se Licenció en la Universidad y tras cuatro años de matrimonio tuvo dos hijos. Se dedicó a ser una excelente ama de casa, madre y esposa.

Cuando sus hijos crecieron y empezaron el instituto, Auri exigió a su marido que le consiguiera un trabajo.

En aquel momento, se iban a celebrar elecciones en la universidad, para elegir un nuevo decano entre los profesores. Rafael negoció con uno de ellos que se presentaba al cargo y le dijo: "Votaré por ti, con una condición, que si ganas, le des una vacante a mi mujer. Cuando se llevó a cabo este proceso, ganó su candidato. Nada más tomar posesión como decano, llamó a Rafael y le dijo: "Tráeme la documentación de tu mujer, que la voy a colocar en el Departamento de Trabajo Social de esta Universidad". En cuanto ella presentó toda la documentación, la destinaron a ese Departamento. Y empezó a trabajar en esa oficina.

Al poco tiempo de estar trabajando, sus padres murieron con la pandemia del paludismo. Sin embargo, ella siempre los ayudó y estaba pendiente de ellos, su partida la afectó sentimentalmente, los amaba demasiado

En menos de dos años, Aureolina realizó un Postgrado en Ciencias Sociales, adquiriendo más conocimiento en esta área, lo que le permitió ascender a otra categoría en el tabulador, obteniendo más ingresos, además fue promovida como Jefa del Departamento de trabajo Social del Rectorado. Logrando una de sus metas propuestas.

Transcurrieron quince años, la chispa del amor entre Aureolina y su marido era cada día más fuerte. Pero un día domingo, después de despedirse de su marido con un beso en la boca, como solía hacer, se puso a organizar su recámara. Tomó una Chaqueta, que Rafael se la había puesto el día anterior, le revisó los bolsillos y observó que había un pequeño papel con una nota, lo leyó: “Amor, esta noche te espero en mi casa” Su rostro palideció, similar a la palidez de la magnolia, de sus ojos resbalaron en exceso lágrimas, como las cataratas del Iguazú. Se quedó acostada.

Cuando su marido regresó, se sorprendió de que ella no saliera a recibirle. Empezó a llamarla excitado: "¡Auri, dónde estás!". Como ella no contestaba, él corrió a su dormitorio. Cuando abrió la puerta, se dio cuenta de que su mujer tenía los ojos cerrados y translúcidos por la inflamación. Él se acostó al lado de ella, intentó acariciarla y ella lo rechazó. Con dulzura en la voz le dijo:

"Amor, ¿qué te pasa, por qué tomas esta actitud?".

Aureolina, se levantó de la cama, como una loba herida cuando le arrebatan su presa y gritó: "¡No me toques, no me hables, sal de mi habitación!". Él, con la voz quebrada por las lágrimas, le dijo: "¡Amor, nunca te he mentido!". Ella, con el rostro enrojecido por la ira, respondió:

"¡No me vendas un perro!" Ella hizo una pausa, luego continuó. "Ayer, por la tarde, te fuiste, con la excusa de que ibas a una reunión y volviste, de madrugada" Ella, respiró profundo, para no llorar, y prosiguió:

"Hoy, organizando la habitación, he sacado del bolsillo de tu chaqueta, que llevabas anoche, este trozo de papel, cógelo, léelo y ¡dame una explicación!"

Después de leerlo, Su rostro estaba blanco como la nieve, sus manos temblorosas, como las hojas de los árboles en tiempos de tempestad. Luego se arrodilló, con su voz quebrada por el llanto replicó:

“¡Perdóname!” Ella muy enervada le gritó:

"¡Jamás he soportado una mentira, Fuera de mi casa!". El cabizbajo salió de su casa,

Al cabo de unos meses, Aureolina, se enteró de que Rafael mantenía una relación amorosa con su amante, desde antes de haberse casado con ella. Motivo por el cual Auri, se divorció de él.

Aureolina se dedicó en cuerpo y alma a su trabajo y a sus hijos, con el transcurso de los años, ellos se licenciaron y se independizaron, ella vive sola, pero sus hijos están pendientes de ella. La amante de Rafael hace poco lo abandonó.

Rafael llegó hasta la casa de Auri con una expresión de tristeza en su rostro, le dijo: “Estoy arrepentido del dolor que te causé, te prometo, no volver a mentir”. Ella sarcásticamente le respondió: “”¡No me vendas un perro!, Eres un falso, nunca hablaste con la verdad, agradezco de inmediato, que desalojes mi casa y no te atravieses más en mi camino. Él se marchó, no soportó el desprecio de Aureolina, y abandonó el país.

Infidelities are the most difficult to forgive, it feels as if the heart has been crushed and trust broken like glass. A very interesting story to read.

This is a story that might be told in many marriages. When we love someone deeply, it is hard to believe they would betray us as Rafael betrayed Aureolina. It is amazing that so many years could go by and the affair was never discovered. One wonders why Rafael would marry Aureolina when he already had a mistress. Human nature is puzzling, and this story emphasizes that.

The are is strong here. Your characterization of Aurelino is well developed. In the end, we are prepared for the way her life works out. She is a person of great character and this sees her through as she raises her children.

Thank you for sharing this story with us, @rammargarita
