The septenio ...

The septenio ...
Crisanto Gregorio León

            When Joseph was asked to interpret Pharaoh's famous dream, in which seven ugly and skinny cows devour seven fat and beautiful cows, he predicted seven years of abundance, followed by seven years of famine, for which he recommended stockpile goods during good years.
            However, the story that follows very little of the interpretation that Joseph warned the pharaoh, in a balance between gratitude and complaint, came out winning the complaint and ungratefulness is what reigns in the heart and mind of our actress.
It happened that for a septenio a man had been in charge of studies, food, clothing, transport, recreation and spiritual support of a young woman who had seduced him with his innocent and harmless appearance, which made use of the female tricks to capture the unwary. This man endured even her imbalances, her bad habits, her lies and even ignored the reputation that preceded her as a nympho who starred in outrageous orgies wherever she went. A young woman of humble origin but with a proud personality who forgot how technology captured her exploits.
She had been designed by hand, in the art of pretending, in the cunning of cheating and in the ruse to manipulate. She knew of the public power that flowed from her gentle and sweet appearance, but in the private she was vulgar and rude, pedantic and boastful, which clashed with her figure and appearance of white bonitura. Something like Satan disguised as Lucifer, where the angel precedes the devil but devil and angel are one. A sly young woman whose debaucheries were an open secret, but he accepted her, educated her, guided her and became more his father than his husband.
But it was a broken pot, nothing of the good that was thrown in it germinated, because its box of values ​​was born altered and its environment strengthened its spiritual and behavioral deformations.
It filtered through decent, good-hearted people and it went unnoticed that it had such a lost personality.
Already graduated in the university, this man was not useful to him and it left it. Then it happened on an old night that he was in hospital bed seriously ill and she left him to his fate and mocked him. As by the grace of God this man recovered and the unwary continued with her, until another old night in which he asked for food because he had been three days without food and decompensated, with a bitter pain suffered by his soul for the departure of his young woman and as it was his habit to feed her, he thought that the young woman would do it with pleasure and like someone who serves another with respect and gratitude, but she brusque, rude, haughty and ruthlessly answered him with an interrogation. What do you want? keep up?
For she argued to leave exposed to his fate to that man who took advantage for seven years. Yes, you say you fed me but you did not take me to more fancy restaurants, you said I had dressed but I wanted designer clothes, you said to have transported me but I wanted you to do it in a hummer and also wanted it for me, you say I walked but the walks were not enough I wanted to travel the world, if you say you gave me spiritual encouragement but you had to put up with my deceptions and my insults and my infidelities and say you have graduated but I wanted the most expensive university and the last generation phones and she cursed him. In that sense, the unjust complaints were greater than the acknowledgments, seeing her always the glass half empty and without praising the good that she received from that man.
And God returned to the young woman her own curse, which for seven years has to suffer great health breakdowns and terrible miseries will fall on her until she purges her wicked heart and her ungratefulness. And so it is fulfilled.
