“Te dije que no era tan dulce. Te lo dije. Esa mujer es una buscona, lo supe desde el primer momento en que entró por esa puerta. Con su contoneo de cadera y sus pelos quemados.”– Mientras hablaba la imitaba poniendo caras extrañas – “Maldita mentirosa, ¿cómo ha podido hacerle eso a nuestro pequeñín?
Su marido y padre de la víctima caminaba tranquilamente hacia la cocina con intención de abrir la nevera y sacar una cerveza. Era lo único que le ayudaba a desconectar de las repetitivas palabras de su mujer. Mientras la escuchaba pensaba: “¿no se va a callar nunca? siempre lo mismo ¿quién me mandaría casarme con un loro?”.

En ese momento se abrió la puerta de la casa. Ese acogedor adosado que era parte de la colección de casitas que formaban la urbanización. Entró en silencio un hombre con el rostro lánguido. Llevaba una camisa de cuadros y unas gafas de pasta negra. Intentó cerrar la puerta con mucho cuidado, sin embargo su madre le había detectado. Le había percibido desde que había entrado en su calle con el coche. Esa señora tenía un sentido del olfato casi canino.

Se abalanzó sobre él y comenzó a besarle y a estirarle la camisa con las manos.– “Ay mi niño, pobrecito! Menudo disgusto! Con lo maja que parecía. Bien que venía aquí a casa a chupar del bote, a comerse la comida y a tirarse en el sofá. Y luego a la primera de cambio se va con otro”. “Nunca sabes de quién te puedes fíar. Con lo bonito y bueno que eres tú. ¿Quién se habrá creído esa?”.– Ya hacía casi una semana que “su pequeño” había vuelto a casa.

El hombre sin soltar palabra caminó hasta la cocina y se saludó con su padre con un levantamiento de cabeza. Este le acarició el hombro y le sacó otra lata de la nevera. Él la cogió de su mano y se lo agradeció con un gesto de leve sonrisa. En ese instante la madre entró con su ritmo alocado y se sentó en la mesa con ellos. Continuó con el mismo tema hasta que, primero el padre y luego el hijo, se levantaron y la dejaron hablando sola. – “Oye, pero no entiendo. ¿Dónde vais? ¿Es que acaso no pensáis lo mismo? – y se escuchó como se cerraban, primero la del marido y luego la del recién separado, las puertas de ambas habitaciones.

A la mañana siguiente el joven apareció en la cocina. Su madre le había preparado el desayuno y ya comenzaba con su discurso de crítica por haberle “dejado tirado y haberse ido con otro”. El padre aun dormía. Él muchacho, que cada vez tenía menos paciencia, se puso de pie con un impulso, y así como estaba con el pijama de cuadros, los pelos revueltos y en zapatillas, salió por la puerta principal.

La madre fue corriendo detrás mientras le llamaba intensamente. Él frenó, se giró a mirarla y con los ojos más sinceros que ella le había visto nunca le dijo: “Mamá basta ya.No fue ella- Fui yo” – hizo una pausa para dejar que aquella mujer asimilara la información. – “Fui yo quien la engañaba. Fui yo el que se fue con otra mujer, y no una sola vez sino durante meses, hasta que la dejé embarazada”–iba subiendo el tono hasta que rompió a llorar y terminó diciendo – “Fui yo quien no tuvo el valor de contarle a Susana la verdad. Ella me descubrió, y por eso se fue de casa”.
Su madre quedó muda por primera vez. El padre seguía dormido y el hijo siguió caminando sin un rumbo claro.

"I told you it wasn't that sweet. I told you. That woman is a buscona, I knew it from the first moment she walked through that door. With her hip swaying and her hair on fire."- As he spoke he mimicked her making strange faces - "You lying bitch, how could she do that to our little boy?".
Her husband and father of the victim walked calmly to the kitchen with the intention of opening the fridge and taking out a beer. It was the only thing that helped him disconnect from his wife's repetitive words. As he listened to her, he thought: "she'll never shut up? always the same, who would tell me to marry a parrot?".

At that moment the door of the house opened. That cozy townhouse that was part of the collection of small houses that made up the urbanization. In walked silently a man with a languid face. He wore a plaid shirt and black horn-rimmed glasses. He tried to close the door very carefully, but his mother had detected him. She had sensed him since he had entered her street with the car. That lady had an almost canine sense of smell.

She pounced on him and began kissing him and stretching his shirt with her hands: "Oh my child, poor thing! What a displeasure! She looked so nice. She used to come here to suck from the pot, eat the food and lie on the couch. And then, at the first opportunity, she goes off with someone else". "You never know who you can trust. Who does she think she is?" It had been almost a week since "her little boy" had returned home.

Without saying a word, the man walked to the kitchen and greeted his father with a nod of his head. He patted him on the shoulder and took another can out of the refrigerator. He took it from her hand and thanked her with a faint smile. At that instant the mother came in with her crazy rhythm and sat down at the table with them. She continued with the same theme until first the father and then the son got up and left her talking to herself. - "Hey, but I don't understand, where are you going? Don't you think the same thing? - and the doors of both rooms were heard to close, first the husband's and then the newly separated one.

The next morning the young man appeared in the kitchen. His mother had prepared breakfast for him and was already beginning her speech criticizing him for having "left her and gone off with someone else. The father was still asleep. The boy, who had less and less patience, stood up with an impulse, and just as he was in his plaid pajamas, his hair disheveled and in slippers, he went out the front door.

His mother ran after him, calling out intensely. He stopped, turned to look at her and with the most sincere eyes she had ever seen, he said, "Mom, stop it, it wasn't her - it was me" - he paused to let the woman absorb the information. - "It was me who cheated on her. It was me who went with another woman, and not just once, but for months, until I got her pregnant"-he was raising his tone until he burst into tears and finished saying-"It was me who didn't have the courage to tell Susana the truth. She found me out, and that's why she left home".
Her mother was speechless for the first time. The father was still asleep and the son continued walking without a clear direction.
