After dinner with the widow and her children, Aurora said goodbye to them with a contented heart. The food that had cost her so much effort to make, and which was despised by her family, fed a needy family who didn't hesitate to eat it. When she arrived at the villa, everything was silent, even the lights were off, implying that they didn't care if she returned or not. She smiled, sitting in the solitary and dark living room. Her family was home, but loneliness reigned within her. Everyone was minding their own business.
However, she had to move on and give them the space they were asking for. How she missed her eldest son, he was always attentive and affectionate with her. After meditating for a while, she decided to take a shower. She entered her bedroom where her husband Jose was reading a book. She only took a towel and entered the bathroom. As in the last 10 months, her husband had ignored her presence.
Aurora was not an ugly woman, despite having three children, she maintained her slender and curvy body. She had a flabby abdomen with small rolls when sitting. Her long brown hair cascaded down her back. Her white skin and amber eyes highlighted her beauty even without makeup. She came out of the shower only wrapped in a towel, looked in the closet for an almost transparent silk robe, took off the towel, remaining naked in the presence of her husband, thinking of getting his attention, but he only looked at her and continued reading his book.
Aurora wasn't going to give up. The nightgown was sexy. Her breasts could be seen through the sexy robe. She lay down, hinting things to Jose, getting closer to him, practically invading his side of the bed. She had a pleasant smell, but Jose was still concentrated on his reading, ignoring her presence. There were days when his wife's presence annoyed him, and this was one of those days.
Aurora—-: Honey!
Jose—-: mmm!
Aurora---: Don't you want to be intimate? It's been months since we've done it.
Jose---: I'm tired, you better sleep.
Jose covered himself with the blanket and turned his back. Aurora sighed to stop the desire to be intimate. She was a human being and also had needs. She looked for her side of the bed and silently let out her tears. Her emotions were connected in body and soul, and she felt that her fragile body couldn't withstand so much pain from her family's lack of love. Even sharing a room and the bed, her husband's coldness made her feel alone, while she thought that her husband no longer loved her as before. For more than two years he had been cold with her. When they had intimacy, Jose ejaculated very quickly, leaving her wanting and without releasing dopamine, which is the hormone that gives pleasure at the time of having sexual relations. Also, there were no longer caresses or kisses on the mouth. He no longer enjoyed her body. He finished and got up, and immediately went to the bathroom, as if he wanted to get her smell off his body.
She dried her tears and clinging to her pillow she slept because exhaustion overtook her. The next day her routine continued. Very early she got up to make breakfast for her daughters, and a good coffee for her husband. When her daughters arrived at the dining room, the delicious breakfast was on the table. This time she didn't speak or sit at the same table, she stood leaning on the counter, watching her cold family. Nor did they complain or criticize the breakfast. Jose, upon arriving, noticed that there was no plate placed in his wife's place.
Their gazes went towards the kitchen, finding her leaning on the counter, unwilling to share breakfast with them. He didn't give importance to that attitude, he talked with his daughters. At the end of breakfast he left the money as usual for the weekly market and then they left without saying goodbye to her. Aurora felt like she was just another piece of furniture in her own home.
She threw the rag she had in her hand on the counter, to go to the window and see how her family leaves without saying goodbye. Through the curtains she collected the dishes from the table, taking them to the sink. She cleaned her room and in her husband's pants pocket was a bill from a jewelry store indicating the value of a gold choker with diamond fragments. The cost was quite high and a smile appeared on her face. In a week it would be her birthday and she thought that her husband had spent a lot of money to give her a gift.
Aurora---: He still cares about me, how stupid I am putting silly ideas in my head, he almost always forgets my birthday, I don't think he will this time (smiles).
With the tender smile that always characterized her, she continued cleaning the house. It was the turn of the youngest daughter's room. As always, her room was messy and clothes thrown on the floor. She started picking up and when pulling a coat and a new picture frame of her daughter fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
Aurora---: And this is....
It was a photo of her family along with the mother of her youngest daughter's best friend. It was as if they were a happy family of five. She didn't have a photo with her now teenage daughters, only with her husband. She took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes because they were itching, making tears come out. Now she felt excluded from the life of her 16-year-old daughter.
But then she smiled remembering that bill, thinking of the detail that she would have from her daughters and her husband. Her eldest daughter's room was locked. She went for the keys, and when trying to open it, the main door opened, it was her eldest daughter who had forgotten her cell phone and had to return in a taxi.
Juliana---: What are you doing mom?
Aurora---: I was going to tidy up your room.
Juliana---: I have forbidden you to enter my room today mom, (breathes) don't mess it up, you can clean when I tell you to, now I need you to leave.
Juliana entered her room, practically closing the door in her mother's face. She didn't want her mother to see a picture of her father with Lucia that she herself was painting for them on their second anniversary. If her mother notices the portrait, she was sure that she would make a drama as usual.
Juliana---: It's so pretty that it's turning out for my mom to ruin it.
