The members of the family were furious.
Marisa had escaped with her forbidden love.
All cried and thrown the blame the maid for not being attentive to the danger of leakage.
The mother spoke little and with sobs.
It soothed her husband, with hugs and kisses.

—asked the mother.
—You are the mother of Marisa Peralta?
He opened the letter with trembling hands.
He saw that the envelope was empty.
It began to fill with tears.
But, this time, they were not tears of sadness.
