Juliana era una chica muy linda, madre soltera, que no había tenido mucha suerte en el amor, pero eso no la había detenido para salir adelante, con su niña con mucho esfuerzo, eso si, pero con la gran ayuda de ser una chica preparada, había llegado a ser una notable contadora y tenia un puesto de trabajo, muy bien remunerado y con eso se mantenía muy bien, junto a su pequeña niña, que estaría en los 7 años.
Por el momento, no quería compromisos serios con hombres, pues su meta era comprar el lindo apartamentito donde vivía, que era muy cómodo lo tenia muy lindo y los dueños se lo habían dado con opción a compra, esa era su meta inmediata, por el momento. Aunque no faltaba alguien, que viviera prendado de sus encantos, pero ella siempre muy amablemente los ubicaba, solo amigos o compañeros de trabajo.
Un día, llego a la empresa un hombre de aspecto tosco, nada agraciado, que tenia un defecto al caminar, pero esto, no era lo que lo hacia caer en cierta forma mal, si no, era su forma de ser, era de poco hablar, de gestos torpes, rehuía las miradas, nunca veía a las personas de frente, rayaba incluso en lo insolente, grosero, cuando se dirigía a alguien, por estas características, no era bien visto por sus compañeros.
Pero al poco tiempo, empezaron a notar, que este empezó a salir con una agraciada chica de la oficina, amiga de Juliana, nadie podía creer que eso estuviera sucediendo, pues ese tipo era tan mal aspecto, tan tosco, tan mal hablado, que no se explicaban como era posible, que esta linda muchacha estuviera con este turbio personaje, incluso Juliana muy tímidamente le pregunto a esta chica, que como se sentía con este hombre.
La respuesta de la chica, fue que se sentía “feliz”, que el era lo máximo. Juliana no podía creer eso, si todos veían todo lo contrario, pero decidió no decir mas nada. A los pocos meses, todos empezaron a notar como aquella muchacha tan joven, llena de vida, se iba desmejorando físicamente, estaba súper delgada, casi en los huesos, con los ojos hundidos, de su frondosa cabellera, quedaba solo tirones de cabello ralo y sin vida. Era como si le estuvieran absorbiendo la vida.
Pero era inevitable no ver, que esa chica se desvivía por este extraño hombre, nadie podía dar crédito a ese extraño "amor". Un buen día la chica dejo de asistir a la oficina, todos pensaron, que seguramente agarró licencia por enfermedad, pues se veía muy enferma, esa condición estaba a la vista. Juliana se canso de llamar a su amiga y no recibió respuesta, un día se acerco al lugar donde vivía ella y le dijeron que ella no había aparecido mas por allí, que incluso dejo sus cosas.
Esto a Juliana le pareció tan extraño, pero pensó que a lo mejor su familia se la llevaría o algo parecido y con tantas cosas en mente, no pensó mas en el tema, pues ellas no eran tan cercanas. Pasaron los dias y de repente este hombre repulsivo, se le acercó ofreciéndole un café, cuando el no era precisamente amable con nadie, Juliana muy educadamente, le dijo que no tomaba café que gracias, el se disculpo y le dijo que en otra ocasión le invitaría otra cosa.
Juliana pensó:”¡Ni loca! salgo con este hombre” y siguió con su rutina diaria. Desde allí, empezó a notar que se lo conseguía, en todas partes, en el cafetín, a la hora de la salida, en el almuerzo y el siempre trataba de saludarla y ser amable con ella, pero había algo, que hacia que ella lo repeliera, no se explicaba que, pero era algo. Una tarde se lo volvió a tropezar como ultimadamente pasaba y este la invitó a tomarse algo, pero ella nuevamente declino la invitación.
Ya le estaba pareciendo, demasiado insistente y ya ella muy cordialmente había declinado sus invitaciones. Hasta que una tarde una compañera de trabajo, estaba de cumple y estaban todos pendientes de picarle una torta con unos refrescos, esa tarde este hombre se portó muy amable con todos y se integro al festejo, cuando llego el momento de comer el pastel y los refrescos, este hombre le trajo su porción a Juliana junto a su refresco. Ella no le quedo otro remedio que tomar lo que el le había ofrecido, era demasiado obvio hacerle un desprecio.
De paso el se quedo junto a ella, después que Juliana se comió aquello se sintió un poco diferente, pero pensó que estaría cansada, así que se retiro temprano a casa, este hombre solo la observaba, con una extraña sonrisa en el rostro. Al llegar a casa, Juliana se desvistió y fue al baño a darse una ducha, le hizo la cena a la nena, cenaron y se fue a dormir temprano, pero su descanso, estuvo llenos de extraños sueños, donde este hombre, la llamaba y quería tocarla, despertó varias veces y pensó que seguro la cena le callo mal.
No le presto mucha atención a todo aquello, al llegar al trabajo al primero que vio fue a este hombre, que sin mas la invito a almorzar, ella le iba a responder que no, pero terminó de decirle que si…, ella misma no se explico, pero esta vez, no le pareció tan desagradable. Fue a comer con el y a medida que iban interactuando, ella extrañamente se iba sintiendo atraída hacia el, incluso la llevo a su casa y termino despidiéndose con un beso, se sentía llena de dicha, con ese ser así, sin mas.
El poco a poco fue irrumpiendo en sus rutinas, en su vida, en su casa. A la niña, este tipejo le parecía horrible, porque hasta mal olía. Pero Juliana estaba en la gloria, siempre andaba con el para todos lados, su familia no podía creer, lo que estaba pasando con Juliana, estaba descuidando todo su casa, su trabajo, su aspecto, se le veía ojerosa, delgada, pálida, hasta a su niña había descuidado un poco, pero nadie le podía decir nada, porque entraba en cólera inmediata.
Así fueron pasando los meses y de Juliana no quedaba ni la sombra. Su familia preocupada, le hizo una intervención familiar, le quitaron a la niña y a ella en contra de su voluntad se la llevaron a su pueblo, para tratar de ayudarla, pues solo era puro huesos. No tenia muchas fuerzas para oponerse y lo único que hacia era llamar a este hombre, de noche y de día, decia que lo veía en todas partes. La abuela de Juliana, pudo notar que de allí era que provenía el problema y la llevaron a una curiosa o bruja blanca.
Esta anciana, que la vio, al llegar Juliana, de una vez se percató de que le habían hecho un daño y que estaba a punto de perder la vida y volverse loca en el proceso. De una vez, le dio a tomar unos bebedizos, porque dijo que lo que le hicieron entro a ella, por algún alimento o bebida, por eso se fue marchitando todo su cuerpo, su delgadez, su lozanía de mujer joven. Juliana al beber aquello, votó unos animales como especie de culebritas que se revolvían en el recipiente que le pusieron cerca, eso era atroz de ver, increíble.
La señora les dijo, que este mal se lo había puesto un hombre, al verse rechazado por ella y que quería conseguirla tenerla y luego ofrendarla a un ser del bajo astral, para el conseguir sus beneficios y que ella no había sido la única, que este mal viviente había dado a ese oscuro ser, que la otra mujer, no había tenido la misma suerte que Juliana, pues no había tenido alguien que se preocupara por ella. Luego de varios bebedizos mas, baños, oraciones, Juliana fue poco a poco a ser ella y no se explicaba que le había sucedido.
Luego que estuvo mejor, la señora le dijo que su lucha había sido mucha, pues ya ella estaba prometida a este ser de las tinieblas y que gracias a Dios y a su intervención divina, ella la estaba contando y que menos mal su familia se la había traído a tiempo, por que este hombre ya tenia como meta ir por la niña, que al ser una niña, era alguien puro, con lo que el podía conseguir mas beneficios, que era tener a las mujeres que quisiera, ya que sin eso ninguna le prestaba atención y esto lo perturbaba demasiado.
A Juliana le quedó claro, que la maldad existe y que existen muchas personas que por envidias, frustraciones, rencores son capaces de hacer lo indecible, por lograr sus mas oscuros propósitos y que se aprovechan de la inocencia de muchas personas, de la falta de malicia, de sus escepticismos también y que a veces la maldad viene disfrazada en una porción de torta o un refresco....
Juliana was a very pretty girl, a single mother, who had not been very lucky in love, but that had not stopped her to get ahead, with her little girl with a lot of effort, but with the great help of being a prepared girl, she had become a remarkable accountant and had a job, very well paid and with that she supported herself very well, along with her little girl, who would be 7 years old.
For the moment, she did not want serious commitments with men, because her goal was to buy the nice little apartment where she lived, which was very comfortable and the owners had given it to her with an option to buy, that was her immediate goal, for the moment. Although there was always someone who lived in love with her charms, but she always very kindly placed them, only friends or co-workers.
One day, a rough looking man arrived at the company, not at all graceful, who had a defect when walking, but this was not what made him fall in a certain way bad, if not, it was his way of being, he had little to say, awkward gestures, shunned looks, never saw people head on, even bordered on insolent, rude, when he addressed someone, for these characteristics, was not well regarded by his colleagues.
But soon after, they began to notice that he began to date a pretty girl from the office, a friend of Juliana, nobody could believe that this was happening, because this guy was so bad looking, so coarse, so bad spoken, they could not explain how it was possible that this pretty girl was with this shady character, even Juliana very shyly asked this girl, that how she felt with this man.
The girl's answer was that she felt "happy", that he was the best. Juliano could not believe that, if everyone saw the opposite, but decided not to say anything more. A few months later, everyone began to notice how that young girl, full of life, was getting physically worse, she was super thin, almost in the bones, with sunken eyes, her lush hair, there were only strands of sparse and lifeless hair. It was as if her life was being sucked out of her.
But it was inevitable not to see that this girl was devoted to this strange man, no one could give credit to this strange "love". One day the girl stopped coming to the office, everyone thought that she must have taken sick leave, as she looked very ill, her condition was obvious. Juliana got tired of calling her friend and received no answer, one day she went to the place where she lived and was told that she had not shown up there, that she had even left her things behind.
This seemed so strange to Juliana, but she thought that maybe her family would take her away or something like that, and with so many things on her mind, she didn't think about it anymore, since they were not that close. Days went by and suddenly this repulsive man approached her offering her a coffee, when he was not exactly nice to anyone, Juliana very politely told him that she did not drink coffee and thanked him, he apologized and told her that another time he would invite her something else.
Juliana thought: "No way! I'm going out with this man" and continued with her daily routine. From then on, she began to notice that she was meeting him everywhere, at the coffee shop, at lunch and at dinner, and he always tried to greet her and be nice to her, but there was something that made her repel him, she couldn't explain what, but it was something. One afternoon she bumped into him again, as had been happening lately, and he invited her for a drink, but she again declined the invitation.
He was already too insistent and she had already declined his invitations very cordially. Until one afternoon a coworker was having her birthday and everyone was waiting for her to have a cake and some soft drinks, that afternoon this man was very nice to everyone and joined the celebration, when it was time to eat the cake and soft drinks, this man brought his portion to Juliana along with her soft drink. She had no choice but to take what he had offered her, it was too obvious to make him look down on her.
After Juliana ate it, she felt a little different, but she thought she was tired, so she went home early, this man was just watching her, with a strange smile on his face. When she got home, Juliana undressed and went to the bathroom to take a shower, she made dinner for the baby, they had dinner and went to sleep early, but her rest was full of strange dreams, where this man called her and wanted to touch her, she woke up several times and thought that the dinner must have been bad for her.
She did not pay much attention to all that, when she arrived at work the first one she saw was this man, who without further ado invited her to lunch, she was going to say no, but she ended up saying yes..., she herself did not explain, but this time, she did not find it so unpleasant. She went to eat with him and as they interacted, she strangely felt attracted to him, he even took her to his house and ended up saying goodbye with a kiss, she felt full of joy, with that being like that, just like that.
Little by little he was breaking into her routines, in her life, in her home. To the girl, this guy seemed horrible, because he even smelled bad. But Juliana was in the glory, she was always with him everywhere, her family could not believe what was happening with Juliana, she was neglecting everything, her house, her work, her appearance, she looked haggard, thin, pale, even her child had been neglected a little, but no one could say anything to her, because she would get angry immediately.
Months went by and not even a shadow of Juliana remained. Her family, worried, made a family intervention, they took the child away from her and against her will they took her to her town, to try to help her, because she was only pure bones. She did not have much strength to oppose and the only thing she did was to call this man, night and day, she said she saw him everywhere. Juliana's grandmother noticed that this was where the problem came from and she was taken to a white witch.
This old woman, who saw her, upon Juliana's arrival, suddenly realized that she had been harmed and was about to lose her life and go crazy in the process. At one time, she gave her to drink some drinks, because she said that what they did to her entered her, by some food or drink, that's why her whole body was withering, her thinness, her freshness of a young woman. When Juliana drank that, she voted some animals like a kind of little snakes that were stirring in the container that they put near her, that was atrocious to see, incredible.
The lady told them that this evil had been given to her by a man who had been rejected by her and that he wanted to have her and then offer her to a being of the lower astral, to obtain his benefits and that she had not been the only one that this living evil had given to this dark being, that the other woman had not had the same luck as Juliana, because she had not had someone who cared for her. After several more drinks, baths, prayers, Juliana was little by little to be herself and could not explain what had happened to her.
After she was better, the lady told her that her struggle had been a lot, because she was already engaged to this being of darkness and that thanks to God and his divine intervention, she was telling her and that it was a good thing her family had brought her in time, because this man already had as a goal to go for the girl, that being a girl, she was someone pure, with what he could get more benefits, which was to have the women he wanted, because without that none paid attention to him and this disturbed him too much.
It was clear to Juliana that evil exists and that there are many people who, out of envy, frustration and resentment, are capable of doing the unspeakable to achieve their darkest purposes and that they take advantage of the innocence of many people, their lack of malice and their skepticism, and that sometimes evil comes disguised in a slice of cake or a soft drink.....
