Yolanda iba por la calle y estando en una esquina cerca de su casa, en un deposito de basura observo un cuadro hermoso y a la vez con cierto aire atrayente, lo tomo y le vio con mas detalle, observaba a la bella mujer que estaba en el, su rostro, enigmático, como con una mirada triste, lejana, pensativa.
Yolanda, lo llevó con ella pensando que aun podía lucir muy bien en cualquier pared de su casa y que seria un desperdicio, dejarle en la basura. Así que sin mayores ceremonias, lo llevo a casa. Allí vivía junto a su marido Joaquín, tenían varios años viviendo y hasta la fecha todo había marchado muy bien, aun no tenían hijos pues eran jóvenes y querían disfrutar mas su intimidad.
Su casa era pequeña, pero bien fresca e iluminada provocaba llegar. En lo que Yolanda llegó de una vez buscó el lugar perfecto para el, en el centro de su pequeña sala. Luego de colocarlo en el sitio elegido se quedó viéndolo ensimismada pensando si seria alguna pintura relacionada a alguna extraña mujer obviamente desconocida, el rostro allí pintado denotaba algo como místico misterioso.
Los dias fueron pasando y Yolanda y Joaquín, empezaron a pelear casi de la nada. Ella pensó que seria el estrés de sus trabajos, cuestiones de convivencia y así lo fue dejando estar. La casa que en un principio provocaba estar, se fue convirtiendo en oscura, tenebrosa a pesar de que afuera hiciera un día esplendido.
Las amistades que antes le visitaban, empezaron a dejar de visitarlos pues no se sentían cómodos en la casa, decían entre ellos que se sentían observados, que les parecía que la mujer del cuadro les seguía con la mirada, se lo dijeron en un momento a Yolanda pero ella pensaba que eran tonterías de ellos, su cuadro era hermoso y solo eso le importaba.
Las cosas se agudizaron en casa, Joaquín perdió su trabajo creando mas estrés entre ellos, el empezó a ponerse taciturno, triste y gruñón, Yolanda empezó a preocuparse y le comentó a una amiga médium que conocía su situación y concertó una visita de ella a su casa. Al llegar la mujer de una vez le dijo a Yolanda que era ese dichoso cuadro, que tenia que deshacerse de el, si no quería terminar mal con todo.
Yolanda se negaba a deshacerse de el pues le parecía tan bonito, era como si esa mujer le atrajera. Hizo caso omiso del consejo de la amiga, entonces al llegar del trabajo de una vez se sentaba a contemplarlo, llego al termino en que poco le importaba ir al trabajo hasta que lo perdió, por su lado la familia de Joaquín termino llevándoselo pues sufrió un ataque de nervios, quedándose Yolanda sola con el cuadro.
Ya casi no salía, solo vivía para contemplar a aquel malvado cuadro, se empezaron a sentir extrañas risas, voces de una mujer, que susurraba, a la cual Yolanda respondía, prendían y apagaban las luces, cambiaban la tv y Yolanda como si nada. Hasta que un día su madre alertada por esta amiga de Yolanda, se presentó a la casa sin anunciarse.
Y en un descuido de Yolanda descolgó el terrible cuadro y se fue con el al basurero municipal y allí lo tiró, volviendo con su hija que se quedó con un ataque de nervios y ansiedad. Ella tuvo que llevársela por unos dias a un sanatorio, pues Yolanda juraba que la llamaban a toda hora. Antes de volver a casa un cura amigo de la familia fue a bendecir el hogar y el ambiente cambio totalmente.
Ya cuando Yolanda llego su casa era su casa, clara, acogedora la oscuridad se había ido y junto a la claridad volvió su amado marido Joaquim, volvió su alegre vida y prosperidad. Llegó la luz de Dios de nuevo a su hogar.
Por eso no recojas objetos de la basura, de la calle, ni cosas de las cuales no sepas su procedencia, ya que no sabes que cosa pueda venir con ellas, eso lo aprendió de mala forma nuestra querida Yolanda.
English
Yolanda was walking down the street and being in a corner near her house, in a garbage bin she observed a beautiful painting and at the same time with a certain attractive air, she took it and saw it with more detail, she observed the beautiful woman who was in it, her face, enigmatic, as with a sad, distant, pensive look.
Yolanda took it with her, thinking that it could still look great on any wall in her house and that it would be a waste to leave it in the trash. So without further ceremony, she took it home. There she lived with her husband Joaquin, they had been living there for several years and so far everything had gone very well, they still had no children because they were young and wanted to enjoy their intimacy more.
Their house was small, but very fresh and illuminated. As soon as Yolanda arrived she looked for the perfect place for him, in the center of their small living room. After placing it in the chosen place, she stared at it in a deep thought, wondering if it was a painting related to some strange and obviously unknown woman, the face painted there denoted something mystical and mysterious.
The days went by and Yolanda and Joaquin began to fight almost out of nowhere. She thought it would be the stress of their jobs, issues of coexistence and so she let it be. The house, which at the beginning was a place to be, became dark and gloomy, even though it was a splendid day outside.
The friends who used to visit him before, began to stop visiting them because they did not feel comfortable in the house, they said among themselves that they felt watched, that it seemed to them that the woman in the painting was following them with her eyes, they told Yolanda at one point but she thought it was nonsense of them, her painting was beautiful and that was the only thing that mattered to her.
Things got worse at home, Joaquin lost his job creating more stress between them, he started to become taciturn, sad and grumpy, Yolanda started to worry and told a medium friend who knew his situation and arranged a visit from her to his house. When the woman arrived, she told Yolanda that she had to get rid of the painting if she didn't want to end up in a bad way.
Yolanda refused to get rid of it because she thought it was so beautiful, it was as if she was attracted to the woman. She ignored her friend's advice, so when she came home from work she sat down to contemplate it, she ended up not caring about going to work until she lost it, Joaquin's family ended up taking it away because he suffered a nervous breakdown, leaving Yolanda alone with the painting.
She hardly ever went out, she only lived to contemplate that evil painting, she began to feel strange laughter, voices of a woman, who whispered, to which Yolanda responded, they turned on and off the lights, changed the TV and Yolanda as if nothing. Until one day her mother, alerted by Yolanda's friend, came to the house unannounced.
And in an oversight of Yolanda unhooked the terrible painting and went with it to the municipal dump and threw it there, returning with her daughter who was left with an attack of nerves and anxiety. She had to take her to a sanatorium for a few days, because Yolanda swore that she was being called at all hours. Before returning home, a priest friend of the family went to bless the home and the atmosphere changed completely.
When Yolanda arrived home was her home, clear, cozy, the darkness was gone and along with the clarity returned her beloved husband Joaquim, her joyful life and prosperity returned. The light of God came again to her home.
So do not pick up objects from the garbage, from the street, or things of which you do not know their origin, because you do not know what may come with them, that was learned in a bad way our dear Yolanda.
