- 0:05I grew up in a nice little rural village, which, despite not having
- 0:09the same access to all the comforts of the great city, I never felt
- 0:13or felt unfortunate about the place where I was born. I' m sure
- 0:20my childhood was much happier without all the stress and dangers of the city.
- 0:26However, when I turned fifteen, it was time to move on to the
- 0:30next phase of my student life. My mother died giving birth to me and
- 0:35my father always wanted me to have every opportunity he thought my mother wanted.
- 0:41For me, that was attending high school and then college, even if he
- 0:47was away from the village, so even without knowing the city he investigated the
- 0:53student rooms in the safest neighborhoods and enrolled me in high school and he went
- 0:57back to town. He told me that as long as I wanted to continue
- 1:03studying, that I didn' t care how he got the money to pay
- 1:08for my studies, he never broke that promise. I was never afraid.
- 1:12I knew if I ever had problems, I' d just have to call
- 1:17my dad and he' d come after me. I managed to finish a
- 1:22career in architecture and got a very good job in the city. So returning
- 1:26to the village, if it wasn' t for a visit day by day,
- 1:30looked more like an impossibility, so I resigned myself and went on with
- 1:34my life. A couple of years later I met the perfect man. You
- 1:40could say that I fell in love with him at the very moment when I
- 1:44saw him and for my luck, that love was mutual. However, there
- 1:49was a problem. His mother and sister hated me. I' m not
- 1:55just saying, from the first moment he took me to meet them, I
- 1:57knew they didn' t like him. It seemed that my then boyfriend'
- 2:02s father had died, when both he and his sister were very young and
- 2:07his mother had told him that he was the man of the house and apparently
- 2:12believed that I was coming to take them off or something like that. I
- 2:16didn' t really care that much. After all, I really loved my
- 2:21boyfriend, My dad approved it and because I had a department of my own,
- 2:27so I didn' t see myself in the need to go visit her
- 2:30never just two years later, my boyfriend proposed to me and we both got
- 2:37married. Neither his mother nor his sister set foot in the church, much
- 2:43less at the party. Honestly, for me, they couldn' t have
- 2:47given me a better wedding present. You could say that our marriage, as
- 2:53long as my husband' s mother and sister were not present, was pretty
- 2:58good. We both had a very good job that allowed us to help our
- 3:04respective families. At least in my view, we were both still as much
- 3:08in love as when we started our engagement. On one occasion, my husband
- 3:15had the wonderful idea of spending Christmas at his mother' s house, for
- 3:20there was a lot of family on his side, while mine alone was my
- 3:25father at first did not want to, but to tell the truth, my
- 3:30husband was always cancelling his mother just to avoid conflicts between her and me,
- 3:35so he ended up exceeding with the only condition that he would also bring my
- 3:39father. At first, the celebration seemed to march in a rather cordial way.
- 3:46It even seemed that this lady had liked my father, for he was
- 3:50giving him the talk and trying to include him in the conversations. However,
- 3:54my dad didn' t seem comfortable with her. I assumed it was because
- 4:00I had previously told him how he had treated me in the past. My
- 4:04dad was kind of a bear dad who hated everyone who messed with his kids,
- 4:10so I decided not to give it any more importance. But when the
- 4:15holidays ended and it was time for Dad to return to town, he told
- 4:19me that that woman and her daughter had the darkest aura he' d ever
- 4:25seen. To tell you the truth, I didn' t know how to
- 4:30take it, because Dad always said that with people he didn' t like
- 4:33and he didn' t want me to approach. I told her that lady
- 4:36was very strange and bitter, but I didn' t think she could do
- 4:42anything wrong. My husband always said that his mother could be a little secretive,
- 4:46but that she was someone completely harmless and, for the sake of our
- 4:51marriage, I didn' t believe. The situation got worse when we organized
- 4:57a meal to announce that we were expecting a baby. She and her daughter
- 5:01went crazy and started breaking a lot of things out of my house and even
- 5:06coming out broke a window. They said no grandchild of her could have my
- 5:13blood. I also ended up a little upset that afternoon and told my husband
- 5:17that I didn' t want to see his mother or sister back at my
- 5:21house again. And even though my husband always tried to defend his mother and
- 5:28sister, at that time he completely agreed with me. I knew they had
- 5:32gone too far and realized that I never wanted to see them again. He
- 5:39also promised to go talk to them to tell them how he felt, but
- 5:43to tell them the truth I have never been sure if he really did or
- 5:48just left things the way they were. It hurts me to admit it,
- 5:53but my husband often avoided conflict. That' s how it went for about
- 5:57a month. That day I met him with some discomfort and, as I
- 6:00was very paranoid because that was my first pregnancy, I decided to ask for
- 6:05permission at work. I spent the day at home until today. I have
- 6:11no idea how that woman knew I was home, as she arrived around noon.
- 6:17At first, when I looked out the window and saw who the truth
- 6:21was, I thought I wouldn' t open it I assumed that I could
- 6:27pretend there was no one at home anyway. However, she screamed I brought
- 6:31you something to make you feel better. I don' t know why I
- 6:35did it. If I could return time knowing what it is now, I
- 6:40would certainly not open it, but my self of that time was too naive
- 6:45to open the door to him. I will not lie to them my face
- 6:49was not friendly, it was only hostility, because I had not forgiven her
- 6:55and I wanted that to be clear. However, she came into the house
- 6:58being kind, pretending not to notice my angry face, as if we were
- 7:02best friends. She brought with her a blanket bag, with a small pot
- 7:09of pelter inside she went into the kitchen and before they could tell her anything,
- 7:15she pulled the pot out of the bag and opened it and I don
- 7:19' t know why. But I felt like I had the most delicious food
- 7:23in front of me. I' ve never heard of anything so rich.
- 7:27The strangest thing about all of that was that what was inside that pot was
- 7:31nothing but pozole and I' ve never really been a fan of that particular
- 7:35food. I don' t dislike it, but I can eat something else.
- 7:41Instead. I do. At that time, however, there was nothing
- 7:46I wanted more than to eat a plate of that pozole. Besides, she
- 7:51seemed to have a completely different attitude than she had had since the minute one
- 7:58we met, so I decided to listen to what she had to say to
- 8:01me. He told me that he was sorry and that maybe we could try
- 8:07to get along better at the same time that he would serve me a dish
- 8:11and bring it to me so that I could eat it. I asked her
- 8:13if she didn' t want to eat, but she told me she prepared
- 8:18enough and she had already eaten a lot at her house, so at that
- 8:22time she didn' t want to. He just stood there watching me eat
- 8:26wondering if we had already thought of a name, if I preferred it to
- 8:31be a boy or a girl, and that kind of thing the truth had
- 8:37never tasted for richer sole. In fact, I couldn' t stop until
- 8:41that little pot of Peltre was completely empty and when I told her I was
- 8:48sorry I didn' t leave anything to her son, she just replied that
- 8:52that was for me and not for him. And after that, only the
- 8:56truth went away. After that visit, I really thought our relationship was gonna
- 9:03get better from there on. I even told my husband, who was still
- 9:07somewhat missed by his mother' s sudden change, was happy for me and
- 9:11for her. That night I woke up from a horrible and persistent pain in
- 9:18my belly, which made me scream out of the pain. My husband got
- 9:22up worried, I was bleeding and he took me to the hospital right away
- 9:28where they gave me the worst news a mother could get. I' d
- 9:33lost my baby. They couldn' t explain it, but I had a
- 9:39hemorrhage so strong that it almost ended my life too, but somehow even more
- 9:43unexpected. My body was able to resist long enough to stabilize and receive a
- 9:50blood transfusion. When I was awake, the truth felt like the most miserable
- 9:56woman in the universe. I didn' t mind seeing about revived if my
- 10:01baby hadn' t made it. However, after that week I decided that
- 10:05life should continue, so, although I still felt terrible, I got up,
- 10:11took a shower and decided to force myself to eat a real breakfast,
- 10:16so I started to prepare something with the ingredients that were in the house,
- 10:20because I still did not have the strength to leave, so I ended up
- 10:26frying some games with some sausages from the refrigerator. Every time I think about
- 10:31it, I think I didn' t get the smell of food, but
- 10:35I guess because of my condition I didn' t take it the importance it
- 10:39deserved. When I finished preparing my breakfast I served it on a plate and
- 10:45sat on the table. That' s where I looked at the plate for
- 10:50a few seconds until I told myself I had to start eating. So I
- 10:52took a big spoonful and without thinking twice I shoved it into my mouth.
- 10:58I ate it all tasted to the ground. Literally, it was like I
- 11:03put a handful of dirt in my mouth. Even the texture felt that way.
- 11:07It gave me so much repulsion that I spit it in the kitchen sink.
- 11:13I didn' t know what was going on. I tried to eat
- 11:16other things, but everything except water. He knew me this way. When
- 11:22my husband arrived, I told him what was happening to me and he accompanied
- 11:26me to a doctor’ s office. However, the doctor told me that
- 11:31there was nothing wrong with my taste buds and that perhaps this was the result
- 11:35of the traumatic events that had occurred to me recently I returned home. I
- 11:43couldn' t believe my mind was playing me so horrible past. However,
- 11:48the next morning my hair began to fall. It wasn' t a formal
- 11:54fall, literally, strands of my head were coming off leaving bald areas.
- 12:00As the days passed, I began to feel very weak as I tried to
- 12:05leave the house to the point that taking a step was a great feat and
- 12:09I could not eat anything that I did not know or felt like sand.
- 12:13Even though I wanted to force myself to swallow it, I ended up throwing
- 12:16it up. It was as if my body rejected anything that wasn' t
- 12:22liquid. I tried to take therapy online, but it didn' t work.
- 12:26It should be noted that during this time my husband’ s mother went
- 12:31to our house to see how she was doing and even helped by making food
- 12:35for her son and ordering the house. I remember at that time I was
- 12:39very grateful for everything I was doing for us. As the days passed,
- 12:46the doctors couldn' t find out what the problem was, although everyone could
- 12:50see how badly I had lost so much weight that I couldn' t walk
- 12:56on my own. In fact, I could only be skinned for a few
- 13:01minutes on my own, so they took me to the doctor in a wheelchair
- 13:05one morning, while my husband helped me bathe two of my teeth, something
- 13:09in me told me that I didn' t have much time left to live
- 13:15for that point. I was resigned and as strange as it may seem,
- 13:20I hadn' t connected Pozole Day to all this. I called my dad
- 13:24and told him I' d like to say goodbye to him. And all
- 13:28that I told her that I didn' t want her to come, because
- 13:31I was sure that he would collapse when he saw his daughter, being a
- 13:35dispossession of what at some point was a woman made full of goals and hopes.
- 13:41However, Dad did not just listen to my request, but arrived the
- 13:45next day with a friend of his. He was a shaman who, in
- 13:50his own words, had dreamed that someone had done something to me. He
- 13:56asked me if anyone who thought he didn' t like me could' ve
- 14:01given me something to eat or something. My first answer was no, but
- 14:05I almost immediately remembered that it was the last thing I had eaten, but
- 14:09my husband said that was not possible. So my dad' s friend made
- 14:15me a clean one that lasted several hours. He passed an egg all over
- 14:20my body and when he opened it, it was absolutely black inside. It
- 14:24was so heavy for me that for a moment I thought I wouldn' t
- 14:30make it out alive. Also as the hours passed, my dad' s
- 14:33friend seemed much more tired and even his arms trembled, but he told me
- 14:39he couldn' t stop, because what they had done to me was so
- 14:43strong that he calculated that I had hours left to live and probably couldn'
- 14:48t stand it. One more night it was already too dark when he told
- 14:54me he couldn' t see exactly who he was. But the only way
- 14:56for me to get out alive from that was by making whoever was responsible get
- 15:01back all the evil he wanted for me. My husband, thinking firmly that
- 15:09it could not be about his mother, said to do anything, for if
- 15:13the person had not had compassion for me, we would not have it for
- 15:18her. My dad' s friend told me to lie down in bed and
- 15:22then he gave me something to drink, and that something made me throw up
- 15:26almost immediately and he put a bucket so I wouldn' t splash the whole
- 15:31floor. My eyes couldn' t believe what they were seeing. It was
- 15:35a lot of hair, but it seemed to be soaked in blood with a
- 15:41lot of clots. The smell was the worst. I can only describe it
- 15:45as smelling of death and despair, and that vomit was not limited to hair.
- 15:50I started throwing up something like human nails and insects. Perhaps this I
- 15:56am going to say is not entirely true and it was only something that I,
- 16:00exhausted mind, imagined for everything that was going on, but I can
- 16:04swear that I remember some of those insects still moving in the bucket as if
- 16:10they were trying to get out of it. Finally, my dad' s
- 16:15friend put some plants in my mouth and ordered me to chew them for the
- 16:22first time In weeks I felt another taste in my mouth that was not earth.
- 16:26It wasn' t a nice taste, it was like chewing falfa,
- 16:30but at that time, at least for me, it was the best taste
- 16:33in the world. I swallowed the herbs, like he told me, and
- 16:37fell asleep. I woke up the next morning and the room was spotless as
- 16:42if the night before hadn' t happened, almost like it was a miracle.
- 16:48I felt very well, I was hungry and still looked like a walking
- 16:53skeleton, but I had the strength to climb myself into the wheelchair and move
- 16:57to the living room, where my husband, my dad and his friend were
- 17:02asleep. They looked very tired. I didn' t have the strength to
- 17:11make breakfast for everyone. I just went to the kitchen and served myself a
- 17:12plate of cereal, which knew exactly what I should know. On it.
- 17:18They woke up shortly afterwards and my husband and dad couldn' t help but
- 17:23cry of happiness. Seeing my notorious improvement, my husband immediately picked up his
- 17:29phone and called his mother to tell her the good news. However, the
- 17:36one who answered him was his sister. In a way I couldn' t
- 17:40or rather I didn' t want to explain. Turns out his mom was
- 17:45dead. While I was sleeping, my husband wept a lot, but he
- 17:51understood who had been the cause of what had happened to me. Her sister
- 17:55became ill shortly afterwards. I' m not 100% aware of all the
- 17:59details, but I know it' s a chronic thing that can throw her
- 18:03in bed for weeks. Doctors can' t find exactly what it' s
- 18:08about. In the meantime, my husband and I cut off all relationships with
- 18:15her after her mother' s funeral. I really don' t think he
- 18:18can forgive her yet. I guess he never imagined that either one of us
- 18:23would be capable of something like that. It took me several months to fully
- 18:29recover and today I enjoy excellent health. As time goes by, I had
- 18:34a baby who just turned one year old, but I will always remember my
- 18:38experience as proof of what exists in this world, which cannot be explained,
- 18:44but it can hurt you a lot. Story written and adapted by Lisa Hernández
