A. ISABELA
1. LA GUARIDA DE LOS LEONES
Back to the 1960s…
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young lady who was kind, generous, courageous, and who was looking for the good of others and so helpful. But, her family disapproved it, even though, she tried her best to help them! That was a great shock for her! One day, her mother, Doña María Fernández Acuña de San Román…who was actually on her side…by María Fernández's force (The mother ordered the daughter, Isabela…when she was still young…to always be on her side)…had a real great shocking fight with her other daughter, Isabela's third big sister, Señorita Alba San Román. Our Isabela was in the bathroom when she heard some strange noises and shouts of fights. She had to leave and save the day! So, she did…by separating the angry daughter who was about to beat her mother's face to bloody mood as all of them were highly shocked and nervous from their always-angry-and-attacking mother! It was in 1965…
The following were her family members whom she had question marks to be her biological ones as in shocking suspension:
Don Ésteban San Román, the father, who was being patient through his family sufferings made by his wife. He could not take a hard decision in the family issues. He was so loving, reduced in quarrelsome and so self-defendant. And, he was also competing against his wife!
Doña María Fernández Acuña de San Román, the mother, who was so protective to Isabela from the attackers, so prayerful. Even though she loved her children, her husband opposed her children's love against her…except Isabela's. She was a property-lover…every good thing was hers by force from anyone, regardless from whom! She did not humble herself or anyone else before her husband, except for Isabela. She was also competent against her husband! She was being easily and highly angered and took quick and hurtful decisions.
Señorita Estrella San Román, the firstborn sister, who was so peaceful and not cooperative to her family, but, she actually loved her siblings. She was so protective, secret keeper and also liked to be alone wherever she was at. She was a single mother to a son whom she…by herself…named, 'Júan Ángel San Román Mendizábal'…whose father was the hypocrite of the army, Comandante Bruno Mendizábal.
Señorita Alba San Román, the second big sister, who was so joyful, liked to sing, and liked to be with others away from her family. She had plenty of friends. She loved herself before others as she did not care about others, but, herself. She liked to spend both of her time and fortune to strangers rather than her own family…I mean, not even a single piece or a penny for her family!
Señor Héctor San Román, the only big brother, who was a mute and half-paralysed philosopher-to-be. He could not speak what was from his heart. He did not take care of his health and hygiene, not because of his paralyse, but, because of his dislikes…or both! He was so creative and connected to GOD.
And lastly, our Señorita Isabela Acuña San Román. She was courageous, looking for good of others regardless herself, hard to be strict, ready to be ordered and prayerful. She was so suspicious of not being neither an Acuña nor a San Román…I mean, she suspected that she was adopted!
They had a boy servant/houseboy whose name was Leonel Ibañez. He was Isabela's lover.
There was a rich family with higher social standards than the San Román's…known as the Sánchez family. Señor Carlos Sánchez was the son…whom the San Román family wanted to marry Isabela. And, his father was known as Don Rufino Sánchez.
Always, Ésteban told Isabela some shocking words and that she, as well as Alba, were so useless in the family. And that they would never build their homes if they choose wrongly. He always blamed Isabela that she could not think anything better for her life, and that, she always thought what she was not supposed to stare at…her parents' problems!
One day, he told her that; one day, he will gather the whole family to discuss on her useless attitude, and with what solutions to come up for that problem. He told her, "I knew how to live on my own independently when I was still young…when I was 10 years old! And at your age, you do not know how to even cook for yourself. You will never be married in a good way, I tell you that!" he was like cursing her future as a god which/whom he seemed to feel from deep inside. She was highly shocked at each and every word from her father!
That same day, when she was still devastated, her mother, María Fernández, told her, "Please, at your wedding, I will not be sooooooo amused. I will only sit in my place reading the Bible and Praising in my heart, while you said that you will only dance with your father at your own wedding! I will not let anyone disturb my silence!" The greatest shocked Isabela really did not mean to make her evil-minded mother like that! It was her only chance to show her daughter-love to her father, for he did not really like her to be his daughter since her childhood. He always liked to tell her some evil shocking words like, "You always go to your mother, as you are always in her skirts!"
She always had bad memories about her father and wished death to him, when she was still young…and due to, or forced by, María Fernández, her own biological mother. None of the parents wanted to name each other a better name, always going against each other to and in front of their own children since each one's childhood! But, one day, when she was in a College, she had the worst teacher who did not like her a lot, not even a single scent! She told that to her parents, but, María Fernández wanted to see that teacher so much, so that she could misuse his name all over the place for her daughter's best image and fame, for she was famous in the region. But, Ésteban inspired Isabela for the first time, "You have to let him go off you! Do not be afraid of someone who has no importance over you, who did not give birth to you, who did not create you! A useless person always disturbs the useful ones!" Isabela was highly shocked and surprised as well!
What could be funny for Isabela, her parents were opposite to each other a day-by-day! When Ésteban was evil, María Fernández was kind, and vice-versa…I mean, when Ésteban was kind, María Fernández was evil…or both be kind or evil at the same day…towards Isabela! She really did not understand her parents at all!
"Whatever will happen to you due to your illegal duties, will not be any of my problems! Your father will be the only one who will pay you visits, not me!" María Fernández confessed to her daughter, Isabela. Because, she suspected her to be an attendant in some illegal activities of that period...really? The kind and innocent young lady that she was, Isabela was highly shocked as we are! The suspension was risen by her sister, Alba. She told their mother that Isabela was a member of the current gang which made their region be in curfew by then…no one could be outside around nine of the night! And she, always, headed home around or after that curfew time!
What should we blame her? She was always with her fiancé-to-be-by-force, Carlos Sánchez, the San Román's to-be-in-law-for-money-and-fame…as I may name it! "I am going to tell your father about your lateness at the time of curfew. You are your father's! Can't you remember everything which I did for you to survive, while, others love themselves? From now on, you are your father's, not mine…DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" María Fernández told a very shocked Isabela.
At the next day, early in the morning, Leonel was woken up by María Fernández for him to make a pot flatly well by using a hammer. The noise woke everyone in the region. The noise was as much as none of the humans could handle anymore! Alba…still in sleepy moods…woke up and went to where Leonel was making the noise. She ordered him to stop making the stupid louder noise. But, her mother, María Fernández, came quickly against her own daughter as she told her, "LEAVE THIS, PLEASE! IT IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERNS!" But, the daughter went back to sleep, after arguing with her mother when she replied back to her, "People are sleeping! It is still early in the morning before the sunrise!" And the mother asked her who could be sleeping. Both were super angry!
The houseboy continued to make the lousy and annoying noise until the houseman came, Ésteban. He ordered Leonel to stop making noise for it was around 4:38 A.M. María Fernández, the wife came back…running of course…and ordered Leonel to proceed. "DO YOU KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL SLEEPING, OR WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING?" Ésteban shouted to his wife. She replied with the shout, "WHO? WHO? WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME? WHO, STUPID MAN?" They continued to shout against each other. Leonel's noise stopped and the San Román's mates proceeded the lousy noises of their arguments with the same words as before…'People are sleeping!'…'Who? Who? Why can't you tell me their names, old and stupid man?'…and so much BLA-BLA-BLAHs!
But, the Sánchez heard their sounds from the very beginning. But, even though she was the only one who did not wake up and went to the living room to discuss against her mother like how the family was gathered by her father, Isabela seemed to be asleep, but, she was not. She was in shocks and crying in her bed.
When she woke-up, Alba seemed to hurt Isabela by words, "I heard some rumours whispering that you were sleeping during the family reunion…as you are nothing in this San Román family!" Not even greeting, neither asking how she was, but, hurtful words came from Alba's lips. But, our kind Isabela asked those words or feelings to her sister, Alba…'Good morning!?', 'How was your night?'…and so many other questions to know how Alba was. But, Isabela received an air as response from Alba…I mean, only the air whispered in Isabela's ears…as Alba did not answer any of Isabela's questions!
That same day, Ésteban went to see the place from where Estrella stayed in those days…just to get rid of her whole family. Before she shifted, she told every member of the San Román that she did not want any visit from them. And, her son, Júan Ángel, really was the only family with Isabela. He wanted to call her, but, both Ésteban and Estrella did not want to.
But one day, at the second visit of Ésteban… paid to Estrella and Júan Ángel…Ángel won that time. He made his grandfather call Isabela. "Hello!? How are you, Ángelito? I miss you." Isabela answered the telephone call. They really missed each other! They had fun via a telephone call.
Some months later, the tragic story begun…as I may mention on what the greatest shocks which the siblings did for the grave's hunger!
In July, just after the arguments between Alba and Héctor…who was later given a miracle of speaking…in the early morning when the birds flew away from the dungeon, she asked him, "Are you scared, Héctor?" He shook his head as a positive and shocking response, because, she tightened his arms and legs against the wall on the ground! But, the next thing we could know, is that, at the shore was a nervously shocking Isabela who was searching for his brother as she followed them, came to punch the greatly shocked and nervous Alba at the edge of the river. "Héctor!" she said with so much fear, shocks and tears in her eyes.
Hours later, Ésteban and María Fernández were along with the most terrified sisters…Alba and Isabela. And the police tried to find him all of the ways and drugged into the river to find Héctor's body/corpse, but, never found it! "If he is dead, Ésteban…I hope that those were not the last moments that he suffered…may Héctor San Román be burnt in hell!" spelled by his biological evil-mother, María Fernández. A highly shocked Ésteban agreed!
So, a week later, the San Román family buried an empty casqued. And Héctor's death was taken as an accident…just as a story which Alba told everyone else in the region. But, she dropped a glove in the water and Héctor wanted to get it for her sister, and as he was disabled, he dripped the boat. He panicked and drowned!
As for us, we are still focusing on Isabela's great shocking and tragic days!
Our Isabela was making-up herself to look better and beautiful to their houseboy who had been absent for a while. "Are you excited? Nervous?" Estrella asked Isabela. She replied with, "Well…both!" as she was so excited. "I have not seen him like in two months!" she continued. Estrella told her that the nerves were acceptable, and reminded her that their family made Isabela promise to leave him alone and focus on someone else who was educated and respected. And that, they were about to throw a party of her unwilling and forced engagement.
The party took place, and both Isabela and Leonel…the houseboy…were not happy at all. When they were jazzing, something went off…"Make sure that those two come to my after-party, please!" Ésteban ordered as he mentioned the saddest couple of the party! He was informing/ordering Alba, who agreed to take the mission. "Your mother too!" he added. She was shocked, but, agreed again. What a shocking chaos!
"It is, now, a game-time, pretty family…and a houseboy… (That made Leonel and Isabela be highly shocked and angry) …We are going old-school tonight. Who wants to be a closet-monster first?" Ésteban introduced the after-party's late gaming as everyone were shocked. "My letter is 'L' for love in English and also…for Leonel!" He chose as a challenge between the two lovers who were greatly shocked. All of the family members agreed as they gathered around…together. He spun the bottle as it stopped at Alba…as the lucky girl! All were greatly shocked. "It is clearly pointing to 'A' as love in Spanish, amór…my Alba, not Isabela!" He criticised a highly shocked Isabela in front of her shocked mother, María Fernández, and told the chosen ones, "Have fun!" But, the bottle did not finish to point, but, lately pointed at Estrella, who rejected her father's proposal…just for her sister, Isabela. Ésteban ordered her to do so!
Unwillingly, doing what a human-being would name as 'Violating human rights', but, religiously say, 'Obey your parents', Estrella went in the closet along with Leonel and closed it! But, when they got out, "Where is Isabela?" Estrella asked.
Isabela went missing…she found out something terrible earlier!
The police had and saw a video record which showed something terrible…they had a duty to inform someone! "Hello!? You have to get out of that house, my love, and listen to me, please…" was a highly shocked Leonel who was with them. He had to inform that person on the telephone! And that person was no one else, but, a greatly shocked…our Isabela. "I understand!" she replied with tears falling on her face in silence. "Thank you!" she hanged off the telephone in shocks, and went to where her parents were…in the dining area's table where they were taking meal!
She was so angry and nervous…in shocks! She headed one of her parents. Both lost their appetites as they angrily asked her what could be the level of her education. She replied…in shocks…with, "You did a bad thing, daddy! And, now, everyone knows!" as she was staring at her greatly shocked father, Ésteban.
"You need to see this, my love!" the mostly shocked Leonel told a greatly shocked Isabela, as he comforted her in his arms by showing her the video record…
That day, Isabela saw what Leonel and the police saw earlier…Héctor tightened to the ground against the wall. Alba tortured him where she tightened him. And the unthinkable…"Oh my GOD!" Isabela was surprised and highly shocked…Ésteban came in as an evil murderer and cut his son's face's left side with a knife, and then, "POOOOOOF!" The evil father Ésteban shot his innocent biological son, Héctor, with a gun, and killed him with it! Every watcher was highly shocked, and our two lovers were greatly shocked…
And that was the only reason why Isabela decided to leave her family…invisibly as I may mention! No one knew where she was located at that time! She went missing with some terrible secrets' evidence…the videotape!
The police found the house of San Román as well as their family members burnt to death and destructed…only two people were missing…Isabela and someone else!
2. LA GUARIDA DE LAS GATAS
Some few years later…
In In Mexico, it was on Sunday, 23rd June 1968 at the Temple where rich people gathered from different own cars as to/for a religious ceremony. One car came with disputing people. "SHUT UP!" ordered the husband, Señor Greco Montes to his wife, Señora María del Mar Pérez de Montes, while, she was full of words in her mouth's breath!
Greco did not give up in shushing her. The disputing couple were sitting in the car's front seats as the husband was the driver. They got out. "I know that you have another woman! I cannot believe that you do not care about us…your family…and run away after that good-for-nothing woman! You do not have to shush me each and every time I recall her into your mind! OH, NO!" The wife claimed. The husband wondered what happened to his speaker-wife as he asked that in a scary mood. She replied as she proceeded with, "You do not even forget about any of the past second you were with her! Oh, my God/god! Why did I get married with this…you? My mother was right about you…being a hypocrite…and a gold-digger! YOU ARE NOTHING…NOTHING!" as she shouted!
As she shouted each and every word, Greco was not fed up with the, 'Quiet! Shut up! For God's sake, keep your mouth shut!' words as he breathed. "Get out, Leonardo! Your father does not care about you anymore…as now…you have no one to defend you!" ordered by María del Mar to their young son who was sitting at the car's rare sits…Leonardo Montes Mar Pérez. He stepped out. He was highly shocked.
Leonardo was highly shocked to see how wonderful, marvellous and happy family with smiles and united that were at the phenotypes of the religious-party-people. He believed and convinced himself, "This could be the love of your life! This is what I want for my parents to feel! Feeling is nothing more than…nothing!" ended with a sad face…full of saddened emoji. "How many times do I have to tell you to get out, LEONARDO…PLEASE?" the angry mother asked a saddened son. He, fully, got out.
María del Mar continued to tell the husband, "I am telling the truth! Look how ridiculous is your son! Look, please! He is wearing what you gave him two years ago! Look, please, how more unpleasantly is your son!" But, as she was shouting, Greco was by then fed up of the 'QS-UFG-SKY-MS' words and left her with her awful words. But, he could not go that far and came back…because, her words followed him in miles!
He asked her what she really wanted. "I want to tell the truth! Look on how ridiculous our family is! But, you always go to that mistress of all married men as she becomes their bitch as well as yours…just to feel her hair, her face and her breasts and ass, as well as…" replied by María del Mar who was disturbed by her husband, Greco. "Thank you for showing your evil education! Didn't your mother teach good manners to her children?" Oh, wow! What a family that the Montes were!
"Education…manners!? Hmm!? You should have them before you go to that bitch, Greco Montes!" were the words from the angry María del Mar. He left her. She took Leonardo…by force…to the Temple, "Let us go, please, Leonardo!" as she ordered him.
The party-husband-and-father, Señor Marcelo Vidal, welcomed the disputing and disgusting family…the Montes…and kindly calmed them down as the whole guests or congregation were staring at them. He was usually helpful and kind regardless to his social ladder stands. The Montes couple stared angrily and pointed guilty fingers to each other…the husband against the wife, and the wife against the husband…oh, great!
The Vidal family was confused and shocked to see how unpleasant the Montes couple were. But, the Vidal lady, Marcelo's kind wife…Señora María Alejandra Fernández de Vidal…seemed to be from highly shocked to greatly shocked, and somehow terrified to see someone whom she was scared of…Greco Montes. It seemed like they had a terrible secret together. They stared at each other with great shocks…for several times.
Oh, by the way…and for your information…the Vidal and Montes families were totally different as darkness from lightness. Yes, even though, they belonged in the same social class position and education.
Here…let me introduce to you those people…somehow:
· The Montes family has three members:
- The husband and father, Señor Greco Montes. He seemed to be an angry gentleman, but, carried or kept his deep calm along with him…with so many secrets! He did not take care of his family and was always absent with a reason of hardworking…the lawyer of the Vidal's Company.
- The wife and mother, Señora María del Mar Pérez de Montes. She seemed to be an awful talkative lady without a closed mouth for two seconds, full of arguments, putting shames on others, suspected and accused others as if she was innocent…especially her husband, Greco! She always liked to wear jewels all over her body every time…even going to sleep!
- The young-aged son, Leonardo Montes Mar Pérez. He seemed to be quiet, shy in front of a beautiful and calm strange or friendly families…just, because of his. He tried to find peace in the family, but, cannot fight against his mother's anger. But, he dreamt to be a Vidal or any like them.
· The Vidal family has three members as well…but, along with a nanny:
- The husband and father, Señor Marcelo Vidal. He was a hardworking, responsible and respectful gentleman. Even though, he owned a Company of high standers, with stars as well, his family came first before anything! He was kind and generous to everyone unconditionally. He loved his wife and their baby a lot!
- The wife and mother, Señora María Alejandra Fernández de Vidal. She really loved to help her husband in the Company, but, her motherhood duty did not allow her well. She loved him as well as their baby…as well as the babysitter of their baby. She was responsible, respectful, kind and generous lady. She liked to be a classic well-clothed lady.
- A few-month baby…a daughter, María Marcela Fernández Vidal. She was being taken care by both of her parents as well as the help of her nanny.
- María Marcella's nanny, the kind…Isabela López! Yes, our Isabela…
Back to the story!
That day's party was the baptism day of the baby María Marcela. Both Vidal and Montes families, as well as the Bishop/Father and other guests, were still outside.
Greco gave a suspicious and secret stare in shocks at María Alejandra who was holding baby María Marcela in her arms with her motherhood smile to the baby. Marcelo was busy in welcoming the guests charmingly. María Alejandra was highly shocked of the scary and secret stare of Greco towards her. She gave him back the same suspicious and secret stare, as he thereafter, became highly shocked too. The secret and suspicious, but, scary stares kept on their journey between their eyes in great shocks again…for few seconds as if they had a hidden secret in their eyes…only them, could know!
Marcelo welcomed all guests in the Temple as he happily announced it. All entered except the Montes family members. Greco was still planted as he was suspiciously thinking…secretly…out of the world as he did not notice the absence of people from that physical place…until when her electronic-wife (e-wife) disturbed him when she noticed his absentminded phenotype.
"For less, I demand respect for I am innocent 100%. And during my absence…you are nothing! NOTHING AND NO ONE! NO ONE!" she orderly declared to him. She left him alone as she entered in the Temple. "I cannot! But, you…can be crazy!" He angrily said to himself against her. He entered into the Temple as well. By 'the Temple'…I mean, 'the Cathedral'.
"It is lovely, magnificent and reasonable to prepare yourselves as well as your chosen friends, families and neighbours in all as guests…for the children's baptism as they should be baptised during their young ages. And on Sunday, is the most or major priority day for the Ceremony to take place. Or even better, on the other hand, choosing another important day in the year according to the Religious Holidays when a Congregation occurs…like on Christmas day…when there should be godparents of the baptised one, just to witness the willing of entering in the Holy Place as supporters to those children. And every attendant to that Ceremony…should always remember his or her promise made in the baptism of that child…as long as he or she witnesses the Baptism Ceremony." The father introduced the ceremony. He was actually…Padre Fédérico Ezequías…if you remember him!
"Is there anyone rejecting this ceremony to proceed?" he asked. The Congregation as well as the Vidal family and the godparents seemed to feel happiness as their faces drew their laughs and smiles of their lips.
The question which Padre Fédérico asked…seemed to affect and greatly shocked the mother…María Alejandra. It made her look to one and only same part of the congregation for several times, as she was fearfully and secretly terrified.
She turned and turned over and over to the exact same view or place. For God's Grace, all kept quiet as no one interrupted. She had fear which no one noticed neither had before. As she was keeping a terrible secret with the person from where she was staring at, she phenotypically stayed calm. But, neither mentally nor emotionally was stabilised for/in her!
Padre Fédérico proceeded the ceremony, "Brothers and sisters in our LORD Jesus Christ…humans are born with attitudes of practising sin…" same scenario occurred between our unknown mysterious stranger and our lady María Alejandra over and over again as before, "…and our LORD Jesus Christ said that…no one will enter in Heaven, the Kingdom of GOD…without being born again by water and by the Holy Spirit!" The same scary and secret scene occurred between the mysterious people in great shocks for several times again. Padre Fédérico continued, "Brothers and Sisters in Christ…let us ask for forgiveness to our LORD Jesus Christ, please! Let us Pray!" as he requested.
All prayed, but, not a terrified María Alejandra who played the same scenes to the same part of view from the Congregation. She, even, did not notice that the Ceremony continued. Well…until, "My love!?" interrupted and woken by her dear and lovely husband who scared her, Marcelo.
All the attendants were still happy for the baptised child, María Marcela. They were at Jalisco's Cathedral as Padre Fédérico located it as part of his speech. He asked the baby María Marcela's godparents if they will protect her from the devil's view. Both accepted their mission.
The godparents of baby María Marcela Fernández Vidal were Señor Demetrio Rivero (Vidal's best friend) and our Isabela.
The biological parents…the Vidal couple…were so happy, but still, the Vidal lady, María Alejandra, was staring at the same place of the Congregation. I have to inform you that she was so terrified more and more as she was staring at the same place!
Actually, she was staring at where the Montes family were sitting…well, according to the nanny Isabela, who was shocked after noticing about her lady's secret admiration to the same part of the Congregation…the Montes.
Well…according to Leonardo: He stood up due to his childhood shortness for he could not see at the Altar where the Ceremony was taking place. But, his happiness was stopped and destroyed by his evil mother.
Well, well…according to Leonardo's mother, María del Mar: She pulled Leonardo's coat as a stagnant sheet full of mud, for him to sit. She also noticed the mysterious secret staring.
Well, well, well…María Alejandra was not staring neither at Leonardo nor at his mother, María del Mar. But, María del Mar knew the vision. She looked at the other side of Leonardo who saw his mother's angry staring to that person. So, he looked at that same person.
Well, well, well! Well…our mysterious and most stared person by the three or four people, was no one else, but…Greco Montes! And actually, the mysterious Greco was our dear Padre Cristiano Doroteo Morales. Yes…full of great shocks and surprises, right!? Who cares why he was there? But, the real question is: "Why the crazy, mysterious and secret staring from the very beginning?"
Anger, jealous and revenge drew themselves at María del Mar's face as she asked herself that question. She, thereafter, looked in front.
The crazy staring between Greco and María Alejandra overtook place…I mean, over and over than before with great shocks again! And that reminds me…well…do you remember before the entrance that there was someone whom was being stared secretly and mysteriously by María Alejandra? Actually, it was Greco…you know it already! Well…he wondered in his thoughts the same question as us: Why the crazy, mysterious and secret staring from the very beginning?
In my experience, life is scattershot with random acts of cruelty. Until we complete this definition, we shall sound rather shallow…even talking about it.
Far far away, along in the countryside, a place knew as San Martín de la Costa, there were poor residents: Santa María and Clara. Santa María had the worst feelings on that day…and actually, that was the old Santa María who raised our Ana María-La Rosa…and Clara was terrified too…and she was actually the Sofía Martínez, Isabela's best friend. Both wondered on what was about to occur as the previous pages.
Both had a feeling as if they had trampled by a herd of Clydesdales. Which reminds me that…one of the following…WILL…DIE…SOON:
· María Alejandra Fernández de Vidal!
· Marcelo Vidal!
· María del Mar Pérez de Montes!
· María Marcela Fernández Vidal!
Santa María accused Clara, "You no going there why? Isabela die you no happy here!" In some points of views, she said that if anything worse…as death…happens to Isabela, Clara will pay it for she refused to be around her by then, if she could not attend baby María Marcela's Baptism! So, Clara went, but, was so afraid!
At the Vidal's residence, the Vidal couple was so happy and both playing with baby María Marcela. "You are the most beautiful than your mother…even than your father!" clarified by Marcelo. Both María Alejandra and Marcelo laughed. She added, "She is mostly blessed! Look even at all of the gifts she got!" Marcelo agreed.
The one along with them, was María Marcela's godfather, Demetrio. And, yes…the gifts were as many as the rain in the Savannah. "You will have much and many more, if you still be lovely and have kindness in your attitudes…as always…in your hearts! There are still more coming." Demetrio declared. Marcelo thanked him for their long-term friendship, and for the Vidal's Company's economic growth due to his efforts.
They discussed with friendship words to each other, and Demetrio told Marcelo how much he cannot trust the Vidal's Company's lawyer…Greco Montes. "I, neither, trust him!" confessed by Isabela as she came in. All were shocked, but, María Alejandra was highly shocked as she was stared by Isabela…secretly as if they knew something together.
Isabela continued, "With permission, I would like to cook some specialities for María Marcelita after washing her…but, if you would like to!" As she was shocked to hear…as well…that Isabela was shocked, María Alejandra suddenly, after Isabela's proposal, stood up and said, "Well…Isabela! You do not have to ask. This is your goddaughter! I am coming to help." That made Isabela be shocked and confused.
María Alejandra caring her baby in her arms, went away along with the nanny and godmother, Isabela, after asking for permissions. Both gentlemen stood up as the ladies walked away. "You have a wonderful family!" Demetrio said. Marcelo agreed as he was proud of them/that.
But, Demetrio added something which shocked Marcelo highly, as in, "You have to live with it. And prepare…for the future…will…bring…funeral!" Demetrio left Marcelo in confusions!
The following story is about a woman who witnessed every single murdering actions coming on her way. She was in a town, a small town, but, in a big mansion. She knew all of its residents as they were always discreet and tasteful.
Well…for what is about to occur…trying to raise someone from the dead, would be a pretty intimated experience…it will be a great shock as it seems to me.
This lady…as I may name her…was working at the Vidal family's residence as a maid, as a nanny and as a godmother in that time. She had to strike as the iron would be hot, as herself and her money would soon be parted…apart!
As I informed you, someone is about to leave the physical and be transformed to a spiritual body. I am not yet at liberty to comment. But, this death will change everything! Until thus tragedy, she had never faced real adversity in her personal life.
That day, someone had chosen a dignified black-on-black clothes as to long gabardine coat, gloves with trouser and shoes which complemented the same as the 1975's La Saldivar Paraíso hotel's murderer/murderess's appearance. And the hat he/she wore, hid the face as the facial recognition of the reputation's secret!
He/she wore them as proudly as the judge's robes. Darkness had been a distinguished trait for centuries as he/she was less a person-thing than he/she was a devil-thing!
That devil-thing took a knife…off the table!
But, before that, "Special is not how I think of you! Instead of being a dog, I could be a grave! You are a good-for-nothing hypocrite! Why did you marry me? I saw how you and your stupid woman were staring at each other, and you always make me mad at the level of killing that stupid gold-digger prostitute…" BLA-BLA-BLAH by the highly electrically pulled-in and angry as if she was tuned psychologically, woman of madness…whatever you may call/name her, María del Mar…spelling at her quiet, but, deeply angry husband…Greco…as they entered in their home, along with their son, Leonardo.
She pushed Leonardo harder for him to enter…by force! His father was calmly there to defend him. As many times, I mean, multiple times, as Greco shushed María del Mar and told her to leave the topic alone, he had 'the never' to laugh and 'the goal' to shut the door against her, so that, she could stay outside.
The statement had the effect of pouring gasoline on fire as their noise level rose to a deafening din as it seemed to the poor Leonardo who was terrified. "Hit them where they are not, Leonardo, you will be the next leader of this family, and everything will be on your way!" thought by Leonardo, himself!
He, therefore, went for it as some people say. "The noise level of your disgusting argues, rose to a deafening din! Mother, father…SHUT UP, PLEASE!" His both parents were shocked, and he was scared and terrified of what he just shouted. Both stared at him…angrily…as his mother slapped and told him, "I would rather have my limbs gnawed off, instead of being shushed by an inch stupid child that you are!" as she slapped him…again, and again on both chicks!
Both males, Greco and Leonardo, were highly shocked. She was devastated of their unfortunate futureless life.
At the Vidal family's residence, María Alejandra was thanking her dear husband, Marcelo, for his kindness along with his care and romantic love towards her as he, unconditionally, practiced all of them!
Behind the blue colour of his eyes, his soul was honest. "It is not every day we get an attorney of your reputation. How do you do both works at the same time? And in the best ways without disturbing each one from one another!?" she asked. She, actually, meant both professional and paternity works.
He liked the symbolism of justice and unity in all corners. They were a lovely couple. "I really like this cake. Taste it, please!" he proposed. Both ate the cake happily as they cheered up with romantic and slow dances due to the classic song played in the tape.
"I think that GOD loves us soooo much!" he added. She asked him, "Why, my love?" And he replied with, "Because, He gave us all kinds of blessings in this world!" She was proud of him, and they started to plan their daughter's future.
Oh…what a wonderful family they are/were!
Days later, at the same place, Marcelo entered in. He informed his wife, "My love, now…I am going to a business trip. And it will take two weeks to cover." She asked him with so much care, if he already ate. He replied with, "I did not eat much, for it will take a long journey to my destination. I will take something from there." She, romantically, wished the best luck for him as a caring and lovely wife whom she was!
She asked him what would be done in his Company in his absence. "I gathered all of the necessary documents, so that, Greco could manage well the Company in my absence." He answered. That made María Alejandra be shocked and asked in curiousness, "So…it means that…all of your properties are going to be…under the management of…of Greco Montes? As well as your contracts would be headed by him?" He approved all of the questions by, "Yes! He can make history in the Company as well as its economic growth. Don't you think…my love?" with so much happiness and which highly shocked her! He added something which greatly shocked her, "No matter what his wife…María del Mar…told me that he liked you…" Suddenly after the great shock, she said, "Excuse me!?"
He proceeded with, "According to her evil jealousy's view!" as both laughed. He, then, concluded by saying, "I am going to make him my co-worker!" That made María Alejandra be greatly shocked…again!
"Today is the day! I will make you pay for destroying my love life! Thanks to my plan, your life will pay! What you own…is mine! Your company, your house, your fortune…and your wife…are mine…Marcelo Vidal!" an evil plan-emoji came along Greco's face. His sleeping son, who was along with him, secretly heard him saying those evil words. And, Leonardo was highly shocked…for he knew the affairs of his father, Greco, and María Alejandra.
The evil wife and mother, María del Mar, suddenly entered as she wanted to shout, but, Greco whispered against her by, "Can't you see that I am making my son sleep well…so that…he can have wonderful dreams?" She replied by, "I have only entered here…to remind you…how much you are a good-for-nothing man, husband rather than a father! We are in unfortunate life…just because of you! You only care about that gold-digger woman…María Alejandra Fernández de Vidal…who has a good and caring…and romantic husband…EL SEÑOR…Marcelo Vidal, the real gentleman! He is a good and hardworking gentleman…not just like you! He guards what has been entrusted to his care!" He got pissed…I mean, angry.
He yelled at her, "SHUT UP! GO THERE SO THAT HE CAN BE YOUR DEAR BLA-BLA-BLAH HUSBAND! I AM FED UP OF YOU, STUPID!" Both María del Mar Pérez de Montes along with Leonardo Montes Mar Pérez, were greatly shocked!
Greco took María del Mar aside and confessed that he made love with the lady María Alejandra Fernández de Vidal. And that, 'María Marcela Fernández Vidal' is actually 'María Fernández del Montes' as he wanted to name her. I mean…his…biological daughter.
All of the three were greatly shocked, and that explains the mysterious, secret and crazy staring from the Baptism ceremony…between María Alejandra and Greco! By 'All of the three were greatly shocked…' I mean…'A surprised and speechless wife, a surprised and terrified son, and, a confessing-by-surprise husband'.
At the Vidal's Company, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) was on a business call. He was no one else, but, Marcelo Vidal. He was on telephone, while, signing some business documents, "Yes, I will be there in an hour…yes, I have completed all business proposals respectfully. I will bring those papers to identify its strategy altogether." The secret-angry from deep inside Greco, was the one giving those papers to Marcelo for him to sign.
Somehow, as the Company's boss, Marcelo told Greco to remove those papers off the table…by kings' signs to their slaves. And thereafter, Marcelo ignored Greco. All of that made Greco be shocked and secretly angry from deep inside…as always…again!
"You know how much romantic and intimate my wife, María Alejandra, is to me… (That made Greco be shocked when he was about to leave, but, stayed to get more updates/news…secretly) …she, even, prepared food for me to takeaway there." Marcelo spoke on the telephone. That made Greco be highly shocked and secretly jealous which led him to think, "Stupid!" against his kind boss and friend, Marcelo. Greco was deeply angry within himself.
When Marcelo finished his telephone conversation, he hanged off. As he hanged off, Greco asked him, "Aren't you going to confirm?" about a remaining paper for Marcelo to sign…AN IMPORTANT ONE! So, he signed. That made Greco be greatly shocked than ever.
He organised an evil plan against Marcelo due to that paper/document. Well…do you remember Greco's words, "Today is the day…thanks to my plan…I will make you pay…your company…is mine…Marcelo Vidal!"?
Even though he was not in the mood of being interested, Greco asked Marcelo who will be the acting CEO for the company in his absence. Marcelo replied with one word which will make history, pointing Greco which made him (Greco) be more greatly shocked than ever…again, "YOU!" It repeated itself in his head over and over as he was shocked.
He had nothing else to add on, but, "I am surprised!" even if he had an evil plan behind his surprised face and thoughts/feelings…right in his brain.
"ISABELAAA…ISABELAAA…" Clara called…way too loud! "For GOD's Sake! I heard you for over the first million times before, Clara!" Isabela replied, along with the baby María Marcela in her arms as she explained herself to Clara, "I was at work!" She asked Clara how she came there at the mansion from the far countryside. "You no asking me…me hungry!" was Clara's complains as a reply.
As after as Isabela opened the gate, as hurry Clara was towards the kitchen as her hunger ordered her…which could never see a bad bread. "You must be tired for that long journey you had! But, you don't have to run like THAT…STOOOP THEEERE!" Isabela said as she ran…still along with the baby in her arms…after her friend, Clara, who was hurrying up.
Clara begged Isabela over and over for several times, treating her like a queen, for she was so starving to death…in her mind, of course! "My lady-boss is here!" Isabela mentioned her lady-boss, María Alejandra. Clara, really, wanted to go inside with Isabela, but, was ordered to stay outside by Isabela herself, so that, she can bring meal outside. Clara was so happy!
Greco dialled some numbers and called someone via a public telephone. Another fixed telephone rang, and was hanged up by María Alejandra, "Hello!? Who is calling, please?" And the reply came in as, "Hello!? It is me, my love." Greco introduced himself. María Alejandra was highly shocked to hear Greco.
"I wanted to come there tomorrow, but, I really needed to hear your voice as I missed it. Are you home?" Greco added. He asked that question as if he was naïve to know where he called. "You are disgusting!" she insulted him…but, actually, he was! "I know that you are there. I am supposed to visit you every minute in the absence of Marcelo, and you know that, my love…María Alejandra de Montes!" he declared.
"You are not welcome here…and I will never be your wife! As long as…my love…Mar-ce-lo…is absent!" she kindly insulted him. That made Greco be highly shocked and angry, as he proceeded with, "As you wish…your majesty!" with anger as he continued along with, "But, you know what will happen next…right?" She hanged off the telephone so quick and was highly shocked and terrified!
He, too, hanged off the public telephone of where he was at, and looked at his car. He meant planning an evil plan! He left thereafter.
Greco's words, "But, you know what will happen…right? And it is sooner than you think…María Alejandra…María Alejandra…María Alejandra…" replayed itself as an echo in María Alejandra's head/mind, which led her to call her dear and beloved husband, Marcelo. "Hello!?" he answered. "Hello, my love!? I was wondering…when you will be back home?" she asked.
"My love…you know that I will be back there in a week for the schedule was changed. What…what happened?" he added as he was curious for the answer of that question and to why his wife seemed to be so nervous. She denied that, and said that she was fine. She explained herself as a liar of course. And added that she missed him already, but, that part was true. "Do not worry, my love! I will pass there before I leave." Therefore, she calmed down.
On her way to enter into the mansion, even curious on why she did not get food…yet…for a long-time-waiting, Clara was so hungry. "Where are you going? I told you that I am bringing food here for you!" Isabela came out. "Goodbye Isabelita! This few food!" Clara complained. Isabela, along with the baby in her arms as always, pushed the unthankful Clara towards the gate in a funny way. Someone watched them secretly as they had funny conversations. "You have to leave, now, Claridad!" Isabela told Clara, as she pushed her. Clara wondered the reason behind the pushing as if Isabela no longer needed her around there at all.
So, Isabela answered her as a confirmation, "My boss… (Marcelo…now) …is going to come here, now! And I have left my matron inside alone." The secret watcher heard everything and was highly shocked. Clara left running and met with the secret listener/watcher…our mysterious person on the gate. But, she was shocked and nervous to leave that person there.
On their way towards the mansion…I mean baby María Marcela who was carried by Isabela and Isabela herself…she heard someone behind them. As she turned to see who could be that, she was highly shocked, "Good afternoon…you!?" as she seemed off. She proceeded with, "Señor Marcelo is not around…yes, I will inform her that you are here…and if you would like, I can prepare tea for you…alright, then! I am going to inform her!" as she spoke with the mysterious one.
When she started to leave, that stranger person started to follow her, which made Isabela be highly shocked again and nervously scared this time as she turned towards that mysterious person. That stranger, somehow, convinced Isabela, and left her…with the baby in her arms…outside. Isabela was shocked and told the baby in her arms, "I can't trust that person…anymore!"
It was on Friday 26th July 1968 at 05:17 PM…according to the recording cameras of the Vidal's mansion's living room. They recorded the entrance of the stranger (By the first camera) but, was wise enough for the second camera. According to the first camera, the stranger was wearing…OH NO! Let me remind you, please:
[…someone had chosen a dignified black-on-black clothes as to long gabardine coat, gloves with trouser and shoes…and the hat he/she wore, hid the face as the facial recognition of the reputation's secret!].
And María Alejandra was nervous and scared as she was terrified! Someone knocked on her door. "Isabela!?" she asked. The knocker opened the door by rushing. María Alejandra had the greatest shock ever! The stranger locked the door.
"What are you doing here?" she asked with so much fear, as she continued, "How did you enter?" After a while, she shouted, "NEVER!" as she, suddenly, slapped the stranger. She ran faster towards the telephone for her call of emergency. That stranger one rushed too and plugged off its cable. They fought and fought until…wait a minute, please!
"Do you really want to go and see your mum? Or maybe, we should leave them together alone? I think that you don't need her!" along with María Marcela in her arms, Isabela was heading to where Señora María Alejandra and the abuser were. But, Isabela came to her senses, "Let's go and prepare dinner, Marcelita!" as they went to the kitchen. Oh my GOD! What did you do? Your lady needs your H-E-L-P as soon as…ugh! Oh, come on! Back to the story…
When they were at the kitchen, the baby cried…louder and louder! When Isabela tried to calm her down, she heard some strange noise, but, ignored it. She thought that the baby was hungry…the cry of hunger! And she told the baby, "Stop crying, please! I am going to prepare your milk, Marcelita." And she made it. Isabela heard again the strange noise and her name's loud-call from her boss, María Alejandra, "ISABEEEELAAAAA…I-SAAAA-BEEEE-LAAAA!?" and Isabela left María Marcela in her bouncing bed, and ran towards her boss, "Oh my GOD! That is your mum!" as she told the baby as she was shocked.
She ran towards her bosses' bedroom. It was like in a horror movie…though!
Isabela witnessed something terrible, tragic as toxicology showed its traces! I am beginning to wonder if you can manage to walk and chew gum at the same time as reading the next scene. Think the worse and prepare for the worst! The afternoon was growing dark with the promise of night and full of surprises!
Someone had a statue in his/her hand which led to be a murdering weapon to kill María Alejandra Fernández de Vidal. Yes! María Alejandra was somehow murdered by the same strange and mysterious person forcefully! Isabela witnessed every single last action…as the door was open! She had the greatest shock ever!
She ran towards the kitchen…and the killer knew that she was around and tried to follow her, but, failed to catch her. She cried, cried and cried, cried and cried…and cried! The baby replied to her cry by a cry…as well!
Who really murdered María Alejandra for sure? Everything happened in flashy moods! Isabela thought hard and took her loss harder! She carried the baby away…both crying. On their way out the entrance, running, she heard a camera's noise behind her. She was highly shocked as she turned towards it, and said, "The camera! It took that silly killer's face!"
With the baby in her arms, she ran to the security area. She had the greatest shock ever as she saw a scene which she was about to miss, "OH, NO!" she said in shocking moods.
The killer was skipping around the house, searching for the witness Isabela. On the way out the entrance, rushing, the killer faced back to the camera and had the greatest shock…same applied to our scared and terrified Isabela after having the videotape of the murdering scenes, still in the security area. I mean that, she had the same greatest shock ever as that of the killer when she saw him/her in the computer which received the camera's transmission from where the killer was staring at.
The killer went away…I mean, to the security area of course…but, missed a videotape which was the evidence of the murdering action, and missed the witness as well! Isabela took the evidence away. But, the killer found something…the baby's favourite toy…near the other videotapes.
Isabela, along with María Marcela in her arms, ran faster and faster as she could…until a car crashed her, "AAAAAAAAH…" she cried as she fell down with the baby who was still in her arms and the videotape aside. She remembered what we know about the murdering actions!
That night, Marcelo came home. "MY LOVE!? WHAT HAPPENED HERE? WHERE ARE MARÍA MARCELA AND ISABELA? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VIDEOTAPES? MY LIFE, WHERE ARE YOU?" he asked as he shouted and confused too. He reached at the crime scene, "MY LOVE, MARÍA ALEJANDRA!?" he called.
He mentioned that he called over and over, but, no one responded to any of his call. And, he reached to where she was laying…full of blood on her skull, the whole face and all over her body! He had the greatest shock which he never had before in his life's past! "MAAAARÍÍÍÍÍÍAAAA ALEEEEJAAAAANDRAAAAA!?" he called her as he did not believe what he was seeing as he was greatly shocked! Someone watched him secretly and was Greco who was greatly shocked…as well!
Greco ran away. He naïvely carried up the murdering weapon from the other side of the corps opposite to his side…with his bared hands!
After a while, the policemen came in, accusing Marcelo of murdering his wife, María Alejandra. They did so, because, they witnessed that he had the statue which was full of blood, and according to them…it was the murdering weapon. And that was true…I mean, the statue! And another case, the corpse was laying on his chest as he was crying out for her name.
As they took him away…by force of course, for he did not want to leave his wife…he shouted her name 'María Alejandra' over and over as well as their daughter's name 'María Marcela'! Their names repeated themselves as he was greatly shock…repeatedly and accordingly!
…it was the greatest shock ever…
I guess that you already know that story. But, what you do not know, is that, on that tragic day…on that same day…Friday, 26th July 1968, was the day on which a Mexican's social movement knew as 'Movimiento Estudiantil' (Student Movement) took place! It was when the students strike as they demonstrated in assembles organised by the society. That was the same rescue that the mostly terrified Isabela rescued the baby Marcelita and herself from the murderer/murderess. And due to the demonstrations, Isabela did not notice the car which ran her down. But, the greatest shock, is that, 'the Bruno Mendizábal'…Júan Ángel's father…was the driver!
Well…let me remind you this paragraph and inform you what you do not know:
[With the baby in her arms, she ran to the security area. She had the greatest shock ever as she saw a scene which she was about to miss, "OH, NO!" she said in shocking moods. There were two people around that place:
Bruno Mendizábal and was with Greco Montes!].
What a great shock! That reminds me something…
I think…we may have to add some other people on the list of suspects as we may now have the total of eleven suspects for the murder of Isabela López de Sánchez:
Victoria Carina, Carmela, Adrián Agustín, Théophilia, Comandante Humberto, Leticia Araceli, Lobo Mateo, Apolinar Rutilio, Carina Amada, Bruno Mendizábal and Greco Montes.
