Le dije que no soy de la armada.

Solo quería llevarla a los mares más profundos y dejarla allá, amarrada al ancla. Era mi venganza por lo que me había hecho. Por haberme engañado. Por haberme robado la felicidad.

Ella no se resistió cuando la subí al velero. Creyó que era una invitación a reconciliarnos. A olvidar el pasado. Yo fingí que ya no la odiaba, que la amaba más que a nada. Que quería hacerla feliz.

Navegamos durante horas, hasta llegar a un lugar donde no había nada más que agua y cielo. Ella se recostó en la cubierta, admirando el paisaje. Yo aproveché para buscar una cuerda. La até con fuerza a su tobillo, sin que se diera cuenta y el otro extremo lo até al ancla. Luego, la tomé de la mano y la llevé al borde del barco.

Con su voz de ángel y su sonrisa inocente me pregunto qué íbamos a hacer. Y yo con una mirada maliciosa le respondí que íbamos a nadar juntos.

Pero cuando vio que sonó la caída del ancla, ella sintió lo tensa de la cuerda y se asustó. Trató de soltarse, pero yo la sujeté con suma fuerza y la empujé al vacío.

Ella cayó gritando, mientras yo me quedaba a bordo riendo. La vi desaparecer bajo las olas, arrastrada por el peso. Sentí una satisfacción cruel al pensar que nunca volvería a verla.

Pero mi triunfo duró poco. De inmediato, sentí que mi pierna era halada.

Miré hacia abajo y vi que la cuerda que unía el ancla con ella también me había atrapado. Había quedado enrollada en mi tobillo derecho, sin que me diera cuenta. El terror me invadió el ser, quise zafarme, pero era demasiado tarde para soltarme. La cuerda me arrastró al mar, junto con ella.

Fue el último viaje que hicimos juntos.

Written version

I told him I'm not in the Navy.

I just wanted to take her to the deepest seas and leave her there, tied to the anchor. It was my revenge for what she had done to me. For having deceived me. For having stolen my happiness.

She didn't resist when I put her on the sailboat. She thought it was an invitation to reconcile. To forget the past. I pretended that I didn't hate her anymore, that I loved her more than anything. That I wanted to make her happy.

We sailed for hours, until we reached a place where there was nothing but water and sky. She lay on the deck, admiring the scenery. I took the opportunity to look for a rope. I tied it tightly around her ankle, without her noticing, and the other end I tied to the anchor. Then I took her by the hand and led her to the edge of the boat.

With her angelic voice and innocent smile, she asked me what we were going to do. And with a mischievous look I replied that we were going swimming together.

But when she saw the anchor drop, she felt the tension of the rope and got scared. She tried to let go, but I held her very tightly and pushed her into the void.

She went down screaming, while I stayed on board laughing. I watched her disappear beneath the waves, swept away by the weight. I felt a cruel satisfaction at the thought that I would never see her again.

But my triumph was short-lived. Immediately, I felt my leg being pulled.

I looked down and saw that the rope connecting the anchor to it had also caught me. It had been wrapped around my right ankle, without me noticing. Terror invaded my being, I wanted to break free, but it was too late to let go. The rope dragged me into the sea, along with it.

The last voyage we took together.
