Santi’s car stopped
outside
the restaurant at 10pm.
He was
still
wearing his work clothes which were
(still)
dirty from a long day in the fish factory. He opened
the door and didn’t
look at me as he stood net to
our table. It took
a long time for someone to
speak. I
couldn’t believe he had found us.
“Have you had
to eat?” he asked David. I saw
panic in David’s eyes. He is
lost for words, but now he just
sat there.
Santi
took David’s napkin
and
threw it
on the floor,
. “I’d like to speak to you
David.” said Santi. I felt
relieved as both men left the
restaurant and people around me started speaking
again. I was
worried and I felt
guilty when I had seen the pain
in Santi’s eyes.

Santi and David
stood silently in the street,
waiting for the other to speak.
“ How long have you been seeing my wife?” asked
Santi,
. “About four months,” replied
David. “ Look Santi, I
had any intention….” “Shut up!
Don’t you think you’ve done
damage?” cried Santi, causing
late-night shoppers to look
at the two men
. David was
surprised when Santi hit him. He
didn’t think Santi would use violence. He
thought that Santi might
walk away and say nothing.
When Maria
left the restaurant
, she saw David on the floor.
Blood was running
from his nose and onto his white
shirt. Santi was
standing there, his body
shaking with anger. Almost
I took Santi’s hand and pulled
him away.

We
walked to his car that he had
left in the middle of the road, the engine
running.
I opened the car door
and Santi
got inside.
I couldn’t tell him I was sleeping with David for
the money. He wasn’t
old enough
to understand.
