Chapter 7

    THE  HEART OF HUMAN      

          BEING IS HIDDEN

     The news of Hailen being arrested comes as a shock to Mary. 

" Hailen, a trafficker! "

Mary keeps rehashing all the times spent together. Dinners, shopping, weekends by the sea...Mary realizes that it is very difficult to know who we meet. 

   The news of Hailen being arrested was in all the newspapers and TV stations:

  "The biggest trafficker and murderer of the century arrested!"

The story was in everyone's conversation! The comments fuse in all the social networks. 

Mary fails to realize that she rubbed shoulders with a criminal wanted by Interpol, she could have been involved in illicit things. At this very thought, Mary feels her heart racing!

   "  This story is chilling!!" 

    " And to think that my  husband was cheating on me with a woman with such a reputation!! "

   She begins to realize that she has been exposed to many dangers during all these years of friendship with this murderess. She thinks of her little Deby whom she has often entrusted to Hailen's care. It gives her chills. 

The heart of the human being is hidden. 

Mary decided to go to the police station for more details. Once there, she sees her husband sitting in the comissioner's office, when he saw her, he gets up hastily to take her in his arms, but Mary doesn't even calculate him . She dodges him, and greets the comissioner who looks at her with surprise because the police were looking for her following the complaint filed by her husband for her disappearance. 

    The comissioner asks her to sit down, she took her seat without looking at her husband. He tries to let her know that he was worried about not hearing from her and their daughter. She remains marble, it looked like she was a stone. 

    "Madam, where have you been?" 

He asked with surprise

"Your husband was really very worried about you and your daughter!" 

Continued the commissioner. 

"I needed to breathe clean air," 

he pMary replied, continuing to ignore Adolfo. To utter amazement, Adolfo knelt in front of Mary, disregarding the commissioner's presence, and began begging his wife to forgive him. 

"My love, I know I hurt you, what I did is terrible I admit it, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I did not know how to treat you right, please, forgive me! I realize today that I don't deserve you, I'm not worthy of being your husband, I failed in my role as a husband, I failed as a father, because of my actions, I put your life and that of our daughter in danger. I beg you, forgive me my dear, give me one last chance, I promise on my life to be a better husband and better father to our daughter."

     Mary was surprised to see the tall Adolfo, the man she married, whom she knows very well, on his knees in front of her!!! It seems like a dream, is she dreaming? 

Adolfo is a very full of himself man, proud of his social position, who always looks down on everyone, is on his knees in front of her, in the presence of the commissioner, without caring about his high self-esteem!! 

Mary pinches her skin to make sure she isn't dreaming. 

At this moment, two policewomen enter the superintendent's office and are very surprised by what is happening before their eyes, but this does not bother Adolfo who continues to beg his wife to the point of making tears flow. 

Mary, astonished, looked at the superintendent,  then the policewomen, all made signs to her so that she would give her husband a chance. She recognizes in her deep interior that her husband Adolfo really humiliated himself in front of her, and what is more in front of third parties!! That's big!!!!!! 

But the wound is very deep! A big betrayal and what's more with that so-called girlfriend!!! 

  How does she  know that he was really sincere?

 What if what he's telling her is  not to  coaxing her? 

Many questions are swirling around in her head: 

The strong bond between little Deby and her father! Should she really separate her from her father?! How would the little one react to the separation? Wasn't she too impulsive? 

Was his reaction too harsh? 

But the betrayal hurts too much: her husband and her best friend, together on the bed having sex!! At this thought his heart bleeds.
