Is this love?What could the problem be? I kept thinking when I suddenlyremembered what occurred between her husband and I the previous night.Could she have found out? How did she get to know about it?My adrenaline began pumping uncontrollably. I'm finished. I don'twant to go back to that life of poverty. Just this one chance I wasgiven, and I messed up.I worked very hard for my aunt and her family. Whatever choreshe asked me to do, I did it thoroughly to the best of my humancapacity. I knew my purpose there and concentrated on it. That wasuntil my aunt's husband started making passes at me.Whenever Johnny came home from work, he would always ask aboutmy well-being. He would often ask if I had eaten and how I spentmy day.I was so free and open-hearted with him. I didn't take any ofhis profound kindness towards me seriously as I took him to be alovely and caring father who would take care of other children justlike his own. I looked at him as a father figure.In fact, we got so close to the extent I started calling him'dad' while he called me his baby. My aunt wasn't aware of all thishappening. It didn't take long before the sugar-coated kindness andaffection revealed it's hidden agenda.Norma Iris Pagan Morales was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico.She comes from a very lovable family.
