Rafael and I entered a reserved room in the church. Mafia weddings involve a lot of things. Julio enters with two other men who I believe are part of this council.
Julio - Congratulations, my son. — The two embrace each other!
Rafael - Thank you, father. — I don't understand anything. A priest enters with a book, the men who were with him also open books and place them on the table!
Priest - Couple, I need you to sign here!
Rafael goes there and signs, then I sign. Then it was the turn of the mafia papers.
Man - Mrs. Salvatore, sign here! Mafia marriage involves a lot, I hope you are aware of everything! — I look at Rafael, he nods, I look at the man and sign the papers. He signs too.
Julio - Great, everything is settled, let's go to the party. We all leave together, Rafael and I went to a car just the two of us. He starts the car and we leave.
Maya - Rafael, what did that man mean? What does this marriage involve?
Rafael - It's not the time, Maya
Maya - It is! And when will it be time??
Rafael - What the hell, why don't you listen to me? I already told you that you have to respect me, now I am your husband.
Maya - I respect you, just tell me once and for all what can happen if I disrespect the rules?
He takes a deep breath.
Rafael - Mafia marriage, neither the man nor the woman can have other partners, as in a normal marriage
Maya - Well, that's for you, I don't need to worry about that! — He stops the car quickly, almost doing a wheelie, the tires screeching. I held on in fear.
Rafael - That's enough, Maya, I'm tired of your bad behavior. You will have your punishment if you continue to challenge me. Understood?
Maya - I didn't tell a lie. If you sleep with Thays one more time, there will be consequences.
Rafael - SHUT THE HELL UP. — He screams, making my ears ring! I am silent, I look ahead!
Rafael - A wife belonging to the mafia cannot be looked at or touched by another man. You have to give me heirs whether you like it or not, fulfill your obligations as a wife whether you like it or not, dedicate yourself to your home and your husband whether you like it or not! Understood?
Maya - Understood! And about the divorce?
Rafael looks at me seriously.
Rafael - I will not be a divorced Don! Widower, who knows, but divorced, no.
Rafael starts the damn car and leaves, we go to the party venue in silence. We got there and went in hand in hand, I can't believe this day. I can't believe what my father put me through. People came to greet me, I couldn't stand smiling out of obligation anymore, until it was time for the waltz. Rafael wanted to skip this moment but it was tradition so we were forced to dance together. He holds my waist, I put my arms around his neck. Our eyes were distant from each other to a certain point. The music starts, so we dance slowly, attached to each other.
I could smell his perfume, it was strong and woody, his breath in my ear gave me goosebumps. My body betrays me, I hate him, why am I feeling this way? Attracted to him, I must be crazy. One of his hands runs down my back as we dance close to each other. That feeling dominates me, I feel weak. Until finally the music ends, everyone applauds, he finally lets me go so I can go back to hating him, Rafael goes to a table with some men, sits down and starts drinking. I stay with Rosa! He was drinking one glass after another without stopping. Until Julio takes him out of there. The two of them very close to me!
Julio - What's this, Rafael? Forgot what you need to do tonight? Drinking like this, how do you intend to do it?
Rafael - Father, leave me alone!
Julio - No, enough, say goodbye and go home. I'm traveling tomorrow morning, the council will be at my house, don't disappoint me, understand?
Rafael just nods, takes my hand and we leave. He wasn't drunk, just tipsy.
Maya - Need to drink to put up with me? — He starts laughing.
Rafael - To put up with my life, my dear.
I keep quiet before something worse happens. We got home again, I got out of the car, Rafael opened the door and held my hand, pulling me inside the house, it was getting dark. We went up to the room! Now I didn't have my room anymore, but our room. We entered his room, it was different from mine, it had a darker air there. But even so, it was still beautiful.
Rafael - Here we are in our love nest. —Rafael takes off his blazer and loosens his tie.
Rafael - Take off your clothes!
He turns to look at me.
Maya - Are you serious?
Rafael - Do I look like I'm kidding?
I am silent..
Rafael - Come on, Maya, you know what happens now!
