It was a cold rainy morning for Alfredo when he woke up. He felt under the weather because of the yesterdays job. It was 2 months ago since he left his wife Esperanza. They never forgot to call each other every single day they spent far from one another. Alfred hurriedly headed to his work assignment. He thought that it was going to be a busy day for him. He used to walk at the street going to his job for he knew that it was kind of exercise for his body to be prepared for the tedious job ahead.

One evening, Esperanza and Alfredo were making arguments over the phone. Esperanza is a usual wife who always thinks and believes in her intuition. She accused Alfredo of being in love with another woman. She told him that Alfredos kryptonite for ladies was taking its toll again. Alfredo didnt want to fuel the fire and instead, let her beloved wife to take her animosity at its zenith. Alfredo, being nagged by his wife, headed straight to the bar that he used to visit in. With tears coming from his weary eyes, ordered a beer and drank it immediately to death as if he was too thirsty. He murmured the statement if you could only know how much I kept myself hang on to the vow I made on the day of our wedding; I always tried not to drown by the temptations. And here you are, trying to accuse me of something I have never ever done? What kind of wife are you? What did I ever do wrong to make you question my fidelity? Am I not a good and

responsible husband?

Then an angelic voice at his back stroke like a gentle breeze; Alfredo, it seems that youre pretty upset. Without a doubt, he wandered his eyes and noticed a pretty girl smiling next to him. It was Julia; the girl he just met way back when he was still a bachelor. Julia, what are you doing in here during this wee hour? I needed to just pamper myself to prevent myself get burnt out replied Julia. What has just happened Alfredo? asked Julia. Alfred confessed to Julia about the feud they formed apart with his wife Esperanza. Julia, without hesitations, made herself available for Alfredos company. She told Alfredo that she would be here beside him and never let him feel down and depressed. They both shared a glass of frothy beers and plunged themselves into alcoholism.

They went straight to a motel situated next to the bar they just visited; and the unexpected thing had just happened. Alfredo felt weak and docile. He is just the other guys fell into the trap of sensuality. They both made love the whole night and surrendered themselves together like a prisoner. Alfredo and Julia shared the scorching heat of their intense feeling and let them both spoil the momentum.

Alfredo woke up because of the sun rays that penetrated on the window of the motel. Julia was no longer beside him. He just remembered what had happened last night and felt a pang of conscience. He didnt know

why he did that. Did I do it on purpose? Did I want my wife suffer because she was the one to blame? Those are the only thoughts that were bugging into his mind. He felt a great solitude instead of tranquility when he was standing on the window staring at the splendor of the bright sun
