One day, the man received a large bonus at work. It was nearly 200,000 pesos. When he told Lucía, she calmly suggested that they should save the money together in a joint savings account. She explained that it could help them in the future if they ever needed it.
However, instead of appreciating her wisdom, he responded coldly. His lack of trust made him suspicious even of this simple suggestion.
Over time, the tension between them grew. Small disagreements turned into bigger arguments. The distance between them became impossible to ignore. Eventually, their marriage ended in divorce.
After the separation, the man returned to his hometown to collect the money he had been sending to his mother for years. He believed he had saved nearly five million pesos.
But when he asked his mother about the money, she said a single sentence that shattered him completely. In that moment, he realized that the person he trusted the most had betrayed him, while the person he doubted had always been loyal.
He collapsed to the floor, overwhelmed with regret and sorrow.
