75 years of love, trust and loyalty; or so everyone thought.

Shocked, he blew his top and stormed out of the house causing chaos through the streets, panting and puffing - the adrenalin too much for him to contain, as he tried desperately to get as far away as possible from her. 75 years he had given to her, only to find out she was cheating.

He cried rivers of tears that obstructed his vision causing him to bump into trees, cars, buildings and homes, heartbroken in disbelief of what he had heard. The more he ran and cried, the weaker he got. Then finally he stopped. He took a few small slow breaths, stopped crying and laid there relaxed, at peace, not a sound.

Meanwhile, she was at home feeling sorry for what she had done. She called her boyfriend up, and broke off the love affair they were having.

She started after him, calling out, crying and apologizing for what she had done. If only she could catch up to him, oh how she would hug him and kiss him, and make everything alright again.

She became very aggressive pushing through any and everything in her way.

“I need to find him, I need to find my Harvey!” Irma exclaimed.

It was days later she found out from her nosey Facebook friend, Katia, who was having some issues of her own, that Harvey had died. The pain and guilt was too much for her to bear.

Her boyfriend was very much in love with her. He couldn’t believe he had lost his Irma so soon. He cried and he sobbed, inhaled and exhaled. It took him a while to console himself.

“I cannot believe this man, Jose, was lying to me and all along was involved with that old woman, Irma. Look at me - a nice sexy young lady. I am so mad right now I could strangle him.”

Lee laughed as Maria picked up her cell phone and went searching for Jose. She went up, she went down. She searched and she searched. Tears of anger rolled down her cheeks. Her breathing got heavier and louder - some breaths longer and more intense than others. It was all in vain, Jose was nowhere to be found. She just sat there shaking her head as she slowly came to grips realizing he was not worth it anyway.
