Celia was a girl with brown skin, athletic body, big eyes, short dark hair, manly type, similar to popcorn. She was from a very poor family, she lived in a wooden house that her father Jhon had made, which had an extension of land where there were fruit trees such as: bananas, mangoes, oranges, lemons and other food fruits.
When he came home from school, he helped his mother Petra with the housework, taking care of his younger brother Dilan, who was only a baby of two months, robust, who did not look as old as he was. When she finished helping her mother, she would go to the fields to help her father work the land.
On weekends he would get up early in the morning and go with his father to water the plants. When the first rays of sunshine appeared, she would start picking the fruits and then go to the road to sell them to support the household. Celia always thought, "If I stay here, my family will not grow."
When he got his high school diploma, he talked to his parents and told them:
"Mom, Dad, since I have the degree, I want to continue studying." Her parents were stunned, they never thought their daughter would want anything beyond the everyday, but Petra asked her: "Daughter, what would you like to study?
. She replied, "I like a career in agribusiness.
Jhon thoughtfully suggested, "Okay, I'll support you, don't worry about working the land, I'll take care of that for you".
Celia was very happy because her parents had not raised any objection, she went to the Technological Institute University of the city, coincidentally the enrollment was open, and without waiting any longer she enrolled. While she was in class she realized that the distance between the institute and her home was very long, which prevented her from fulfilling her schedule, however she had made the effort to fulfill her academic activities, becoming one of the students with the best average, obtaining a scholarship Honor to Merit. With the first payment she bought some things for her house and for little Dilan, Petra and Jhon were very happy for the nice gestures of their daughter.
When he received the second payment, he returned home. Having lunch at the table with the whole family, she told them "dad, mom, I have decided to rent a bedroom near the institute so I can get to my classes early".
Her father at first became very serious, but with his head bowed and shaking he said "yes", Petra looking her in the face said "if with this you are going to keep your good grades and your scholarship, daughter, I agree".
With a smile on her face she said "I will come every weekend, on Friday afternoons, to leave on Mondays so I can get to class early", and so Celia left the house.
The following semester, the young lady entered the classroom and noticed that in the back seat there was a young man of slim build and dark skin, she approached him and said "Hello, my name is Celia and yours?", He very shyly and with a thick tone of voice replied "Hello, I'm Fernando".
When they left class Celia invited the young man to the dining room, they had lunch together, then they went to the square, they sat on the grass, from that moment Celia and he went out together, they went to the library, to the dining room, they spent a lot of time together.
One afternoon, sitting on a cement bench, he told her: "You are the only person who welcomed me when I arrived at the classroom, you have a very nice place in my heart, that's why I want you to be my girlfriend", she answered him.
"I have never had a boyfriend, I tell you yes, because I also feel something very nice for you", he told her: "we will go tomorrow to my house, I will tell you I will give you some recommendations so that you do not have a bad time, my mother is very grumpy, so it is better that you do not establish any conversation with her, I have a little brother named José, they say that he looks a lot like me, I think that is why he calls me dad", she smiled and accepted.
The next morning they went to their house, it was very nice, it had a beautiful garden, three bedrooms, a color television, in short, all the comforts that a house can have, when Fernando and Celia entered the house, a lady with glasses, about sixty years old, her hair full of gray hair, fat, came out of her room and said: "My love, are you here? How did you do at the university?
She replied, "Mommy, I did well.
He looked Celia up and down and asked, "And who is she?
He replied, "This young lady is a classmate of mine.
The old woman held out her hand and said, "It's a pleasure, I'm Marisol.
The boy comes out of his room and says "dad, you came, I missed you, and who is she?", he says to the boy, "hello José, she is a classmate, meet her, her name is Celia". A few minutes later, Marisol and the boy go to the bedroom, Fernando goes to the kitchen preparing a strawberry juice, she remains seated on a rustic wooden single piece of furniture, without saying a word, following the young man's directives. While he and she sipped their delicious juice, he talked about his studies.
For a moment the boy went to take the dirty glasses to the kitchen. While he washed and cleaned everything, she visualized from her seat a small photo album that was on a small wooden table that matched the chair where she was sitting, she reached out, took it, began to look at the pictures, there was one where Marisol appeared with a beautiful wedding dress, she looked older, the husband seemed very young for her age, she had an air of Fernando. Then she turned to another page where she saw Marisol with a newborn baby in her arms and Fernando was holding her in his arms and kissing her on the mouth. Celia, horrified, put her hands to her face, covering her mouth so as not to scream with indignation. After a while she got her sanity under control and said to Fernando:
"I have to go, I remembered I have things to do",
He answered her, "wait until I finish to accompany you", she waited for him to finish, when they went out and walked, he noticed Celia very strange, he said to her:
"My love what's wrong with you?",
She answered crying "don't tell me again my love, you have played with my feelings, you have deceived me, I have just seen the photos in the album, she is your wife and he is your son, I don't know how you could deny your family, you are a cheat". Suddenly a cab passed by, he stopped it, got in and drove off.
Celia followed the vision of her studies, graduated as an agro-food engineer, got a job in a prestigious company, with her salary she tore down the wooden house and built a beautiful house for her parents. Since that disappointment, when she was approached by a man, the first thing she did was to investigate his life.
