Jesús and Jimena, not a love story
Jesus Maldonado Perales is writing a
“don’t blame anybody for my death” letter, he plans to commit
suicide by
inhaling anesthetic gases, stolen from his job as an anesthetic assistant
nurse. But
before that, he has to deal with that
girl…
Recently, he has heard cruel comments about him from
Jimena, a girl he is secretly in love
with: “What a
disgusting guy, can you just imagine being in bed with
him?” And, after her friends giggled, : “And to get pregnant afterwards!”
So, the same night after writing the letter, Jesús waits outside a house where some of Jimena’s friends are having a party. After a while, he watches Jimena arriving to the party, together with a friend.
Jesús enters the house, unadverted among the dancing crowd, sits there and makes sure Jimena notices him, after what he hurries out into the cold night.
Jimena returns home after a few hours and a few drinks. She lives
with her parents in a nice house with a
garden. Jesus, waiting outside in the dark, waits until the lights turn off
and then climbs up to her window on using
a ladder. Using a gas bottle connected to a long tube, he sedates the
already sleeping girl.
A few seconds later, he climbs into the bedroom and approaches the bed.
Jesús does not kill himself that night, he has just got a tiny
hope, he will wait a few
months. And yes, he sees often
the pregnant girl passing below his window, obviously chocked and
unhappy.
He calls her after eight months and explains he is the father, and
doesn’t she remember the party night, well she had
had A few drinks, but she must remember when they did things in the
back room, didn’t she? And does not she believe him? he can take the DNA test if she
wishes. Does she? Well, he wouldn’t tell anybody, just thinks kids have the right to
know, haven’ they. Well, good bye then. The
end
