Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Tao Yaoyao
My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

EN Málaga no los guisan mal; en Vigo, todavia mejor; en Bilbao los he comido en más de una ocasión primorosamente ali?ados. Pero nada tienen que ver estos ni otros que me han servido en los diferentes puntos donde suelo hacer escala con los que guisa una se?ora Ramona en cierta tienda de vinos y comidas llamada El Cometa, situada en el muelle de Gijón. Por eso cuando esta inteligentísima mujer averigua que el Urano ha entrado en el puerto, ya está preparando sus cacerolas para recibirme.

Suelo ir solo por la noche, como un ser egoísta y voluptuoso que soy; me ponen la mesa en un rincón de la trastienda, y allí, a mis anchas, gozo placeres inefables y he pillado más de una indigestión.

Arribé el 9 de febrero, a las once de la ma?ana, y, como siempre, comí poco, preparándome con saludable abstinencia para la solemnidad de la noche. Dios no lo quiso. Poco antes de sonar la hora, un bárbaro marinero, al trasladar un farol, lo rompió, cayó la mecha encendida sobre una pipa de petróleo, se prendió fuego, acudimos a atajarlo, y con no poco trabajo, arrojando al agua esa y otras pipas, lo conseguimos. Se quemó la caseta del piloto, mucha jarcia y una parte de la obra muerta. En fin, la avería nos tuvo afanosos y en pie casi toda la noche. Y este fué el motivo de que no fuese a comer el plato de callos de la se?ora Ramona, como tuve a bien comunicárselo por medio del grumete, advirtiéndole al mismo tiempo que me aguardara sin falta aquella misma noche.

Eran las diez, poco más o menos. Contento y sigiloso bajé la escala del Urano, salté en el bote, y en cuatro paladas el marinero me hizo atracar al muelle, que estaba solitario y obscuro. Apenas se distinguían los cascos de los barcos y en ellos reinaba absoluto silencio. Sólo la silueta de los carabineros de ronda o la de algún paseante melancólico se destacaba borrosamente de las tinieblas. Pero aquella obscuridad, que los escasos faroles no bastaba a disipar, se alegraba de pronto por la ola de luz que salía de las dos puertas de El Cometa. Con el ansia de una mariposa me dirigí a ellas. En la tienda sólo había tres o cuatro parroquianos; los demás habían ido saliendo, unos espontáneamente, otros por las intimaciones cada vez más perentorias de la se?ora Ramona, que cerraba indefectiblemente a las diez y media.

Mi aparición fué saludada con una carcajada de esta mujer. Ignoro qué raro y misterioso cosquilleo producía en sus nervios mi presencia; pero puedo jurar que jamás me vió después de una ausencia más o menos larga sin que su abdomen dejase de experimentar violentas sacudidas de risa, que originaban ineludiblemente algunos golpes de tos, inflamaban sus mejillas y las transportaban del rojo grana al violeta. De todos modos, yo agradecía profundamente aquella carcajada y también los accesos de tos, considerándolos como prenda de inalterable amistad y de que podía contar en vida y en muerte con sus conocimientos culinarios. Era mi deber en tales ocasiones doblar el espinazo, sacudir la cabeza y reir estrepitosamente, hasta que la se?á Ramona se sosegase. Y lo cumplí religiosamente.

-?Ay, qué bien me salieron ayer, D. Julián!

-Y hoy ?por qué no?

-Porque ayer era ayer y hoy es hoy.

Ante esa razón invencible me puse serio y dejé escapar un suspiro. La se?á Ramona cayó de nuevo en un espasmo de risa, seguido del correspondiente ataque de tos asmática. Una vez que logró salir de él, terminó de lavar el vaso que tenía entre las manos y dijo a los tres o cuatro marineros que charlaban en un rincón:

-?Ea! despejar, que voy a echar la llave.

Uno de ellos se atrevió a responder:

-Aguárdese un momento, se?á Ramona. Saldremos cuando ese se?or.

La tabernera frunció el entrecejo y profirió con acento solemne:

-Este se?or viene a comer un guisado de callos y ya tiene la mesa preparada.

Entonces los parroquianos, sintiendo el peso de esta indicación y comprendiendo la gravedad de las circunstancias, no vacilaron en ponerse en pie, me contemplaron un instante con mezcla de respeto y admiración y se retiraron dando las buenas noches.

-Pues sí, don Julián, sí-exclamó la se?á Ramona, cuyo rostro se dilató nuevamente-; los de ayer levantaban la lengua en vilo.

Mi fisonomía debió de expresar la más profunda desesperación.

-Y los de hoy, ?no levantarán nada?-pregunté con acento afligido.

-Hoy... hoy... Usted lo verá.

Y alzó su mano carnosa de cierto modo propio para dejarme sumido en un piélago de dudas.

Mientras daba los últimos toques a su obra, preparé adecuadamente el estómago con ajenjo, meditando al mismo tiempo acerca de las últimas graves palabras que acababa de oir.

?Estarían o no tan sazonados, picantes y aromáticos como mi imaginación me los representaba?

Pero cuando me senté a la mesa, cuando los vi delante y sentí en la nariz su tibio aroma penetrante, un rayo de luz inundó mi cerebro disipando el negro fantasma de la duda. Palpitó mi corazón con inexplicable dulzura y comprendí que los dioses me tenían aún reservados algunos instantes de dicha en este mundo.
