The Dark Night and Its Mistakes
It was a dark night, full of excess—something I would never recommend, because even though it makes you feel good in the moment, it's the root of many mistakes. Because of those excesses, I gained so much weight I couldn't even see my own neck; besides, I hadn't been able to get married before, and my father seemed to think only of his business. Now I've been married to Emiliano for two years, but I've lost a lot of weight: I'm no longer that "fatty" he talks about. It seems strange that he calls me that, being a man, but it doesn't bother me—he doesn't mean to insult me, I know because he blushes every time. His way of loving is different, but Emiliano is someone special.
It all started when I was 17 and, without a doubt, a "pig" in every sense of the word. Emiliano, my partner, was about 27 at the time. While my father's company prospered, the neighboring family's—the Huertas'—declined. My father didn't want his company to become a monopoly; he knew that competition was necessary to stay afloat, since a monopoly could raise prices without worrying about losing customers, but it would also lead to a lack of innovation: people need products with more features.
When he saw me interested in Emiliano—the youngest son of the head of the other company, who was in a serious relationship—my father saw a double opportunity. Although I was an overweight young man, he always granted my wishes, and at that moment, he didn't hesitate to force the marriage to happen, regardless of Emiliano's circumstances.
My father managed to meet with Mr. Huerta, who detested the idea of his son leaving his partner to marry me, and also hated having to "give up" his youngest son to save the family business, which had been in the family for over 60 years. However, he reluctantly agreed. My father promised that while we were married, his company would contribute financial resources privately and would never profit from the arrangement.
The wedding was scheduled for my 18th birthday, since I couldn't get married at 17 without special permission, which would have caused a scandal. Sometimes people meddle in things that don't concern them; they should mind their own business. I still don't know if I should say anything about it.
