Do you remember a narrow stretch or a fall in your walk through life?
More than 5 years ago, I was taking a bath at home, my family was watching TV, it was about two o'clock in the morning, weekend. Suddenly I heard a noise at the gate. from the bathroom because I know that when my family is watching movies, they concentrate so hard that they don't even hear a rocket in the air.
De Ipso facto se abre la puerta trasera de la casa, algo que me sorprendió porque somos muy cuidadoso con eso. Escucho la voz de un hombre que grita, quietos todos esto es un atraco, Uno de ellos preguntó : ¿hay alguien más en la casa? Pero nadie responde. Me coloqué una bata de baño lo más rápido que pude, pero de los nervios, hice ruido, inmediatamente, entraron a la habitación y me tomaron por los cabellos y me arrojaron con mi familia que ya c estaba amordazada en la sala de la casa.
Ipso facto the back door of the house opens, something that surprised me because we are very careful with that. I hear the voice of a man shouting, quiet everyone this is a robbery, One of them asked: is there anyone else in the house? But nobody answers. I put on a bathrobe as fast as I could, but out of nerves, I made noise, immediately, they entered the room and took me by the hair and threw me with my family who were already gagged in the living room of the house.
Mi corazón no deja de latir, las piernas me temblaban, el corazón parece que se me iba a salir por la boca, lo único que se me ocurrió decir fue: “por favor no nos maten… llévense todo lo que quieran pero no nos maten, ¿somos gente pobre, que quieren?.
My heart wouldn't stop beating, my legs were trembling, my heart felt like it was going to come out of my mouth, the only thing I could think of to say was: "please don't kill us... take all you want but don't kill us, we are poor people, what do you want?
Fue una noche interminable, todos estábamos acurrucados en un lugar de la sala, mientras estas tres personas volvían un caos en la casa, sacaban televisores, computadoras, las pocas prendas de fantasia que tenia en la peinadora, hasta los alimentos que teniamos en la despensa.
It was an endless night, we were all huddled in one place in the living room, while these three people turned the house into chaos, taking out televisions, computers, the few fancy clothes I had in the combing machine, even the food we had in the pantry.
Finalmente, el miedo nos paralizó, y decidimos dejarnos llevar. La angustia duró aproximadamente tres horas. Luego de haber pateado a mi Esposo, y golpeado a mi hijo, decidieron Por fin irse , dejando la casa totalmente vacía, se llevaron todo lo que encontraron en su camino, solamente se escucharon sus últimas palabras: “No pueden gritar ni hacer nada, esperen media hora, de lo contrario, vendremos por ustedes y está vez no tendrán tanta suerte.
Finally, fear paralyzed us, and we decided to let ourselves go. The anguish lasted about three hours. After having kicked my husband and beaten my son, they finally decided to leave, leaving the house completely empty, they took everything they found on their way, only their last words were heard: "You can not scream or do anything, wait half an hour, otherwise, we will come for you and this time you will not be so lucky.
Cuando escuchamos los vehículos irse y el portón de la puerta sonar, nos levantamos, mi esposo fue el primero que pudo soltar los amarres de sus manos y luego las nuestras, comenzamos a llorar como niños y nos abrazamos como nunca.
When we heard the vehicles drive away and the gate of the door rattle, we stood up, my husband was the first one who could release the restraints on his hands and then ours, we started to cry like children and hugged each other like never before.
Toda esta historia llega a mi memoria, porque al salir de nuestra casa, para denunciar este secuestro y robo, uno de los agentes de la policía dijo las siguientes palabras : “Pudo haber sido peor, lo material se recupera, estan con vida, ARRIBA ESE ANIMO”, todavía lo recuerdo como si hubiese sido ayer: “
This whole story comes to my memory, because when we left our house, to report this kidnapping and robbery, one of the police officers said the following words: "It could have been worse, the material is recovered, they are alive, LIFT UP THAT ANIMO", I still remember it as if it was yesterday: "
Diooooos, ¿cómo puede decir eso este señor?, hay que vivir una situación similar para saber como se siente cada milésima de segundo. Sin embargo, 15 años después, tengo que reconocer Que las palabras que dijo esta persona tiene mucha verdad, algo duras e insensible en el momento, pero tan clara como el agua de manantial.
Diooooos, how can this gentleman say that, you have to live a similar situation to know how he feels every millisecond. However, 15 years later, I have to recognize that the words this person said have a lot of truth, somewhat harsh and insensitive at the time, but as clear as spring water.
¿Fue fácil recuperar la motivación para seguir adelante?
Was it easy to regain the motivation to keep going?
Definitely, it has not been easy, although it was an experience overcome, it has been very difficult, so much so, that I have to check again and again the door of the house before going to sleep, I look everywhere and put God every night to take control, he is the only one who makes me feel safe.
Recuerdas que estrategias usaste para salir adelante?
Do you remember what strategies you used to get ahead?
Now I understand that staying calm, keeping quiet and being calm in the middle of the situation, was a strategy that I unconsciously used to prevent things from escalating. But believe me **Now it is a strategy that I apply constantly in my life **
