How could Diana change so quickly or had she always been like this and Callie had not notice? How could she threaten Rufi with her child?
Every one had their limit and Rufi was nearing hers .
It was bad enough to have her husband in the hospital and now she was being threatened?
School resumed since the week before, Ana Blaire had to go to school with two police while Rufi couldn't go everywhere she wanted, and Ivan looked like he wasn't trying so hard .
One thing Callie had noticed was that on the days Rufi looked stronger Ivan improved, on her bad days Ivan wasn't usually so good .
"I'll go cheek on Ivan" she told Callie
"Alright"
The polices advised that the Crowd checking on Ivan be reduced as one of them might be working for Diana.
Seth now drops by once a week, Christian had to return to Denmark because of work, every other person also had their scheduled time for visit.
"My love, i need you to wake up" she said calmly.
"This is becoming too much for me to handle alone. Diana is after Ana-Blaire and I, she could harm us, i don't want Ana-Blaire getting hurt" she cried
"You need to wake up Amor ,we need to face this as a Family, a complete Family OK ? I'm not giving up but its hard, having the police follow you every where you go, having your movement restricted, It's making me feel like a prisoner"
She studied him -he looked more like himself with most of the attachment removed-waiting for some sign, when ever she poured her heart he always had something to say but the longer she waited the more she realized he won't .
" I'm waiting Ivan,take your time" she said before leaving the room.
"You did some miracle in there" the doctor told her a few minutes later.
"If you talk to him like that more often, he might wake soon"
"Its been a month, four solid weeks since he'd been like that i..."
"Rufina" someone called, she tuned around to see the doctor who had granted Ivan access to see her when she was sick .
"Dr. Katrina?!" she couldn't hide surprise .
"Rufina! you're grown " she smiled in that motherly way she was known for .
"Sorry I've not checked on you, I've been busy since I got back"
" I understand" Rufi smiled
"Take care darling" she kissed her cheek and left. It's been five solid years since she last saw the woman how. Time flies .
Time really does fly, a month had gone since her interrupted wedding but the memory made it look like a minute ago .
She returned to her spot beside Callie "Where is your mother ?"
"Somewhere around why?"
"Nothing, just that I noticed she doesn't check on Ivan much"
" seeing her son that way disturbs her" Callie said with sarcasm
"She said that?"
" You see Callie dear, Seeing Ivan like that disturbs me. Really much. I'm used to seeing my son agile and active not like a vegetable" Callie continued with mock sorrow
"What? he called her son a vegetable?"
"Positive ...oh look I think she's going to see him" Rufi looked back as Teresa walked towards Ivan's room
"I'll follow her "Callie stood
" No, let me" Rufi said pulling her back "please?"
She followed at a reasonable distance and true enough Teresa entered Ivan's room, Rufi stayed outside and listened.
"I didn't mean for it to be you son" she spoke with her usual grace, though she spoke Spanish it was easy for Rufi to follow since she wasn't speaking too fast and thanks to Ivan's tutelage.
"It was suppose to be that slut why did you get in front of her,why son?.... Look what you've done to yourself .... don't worry, I'll make sure she pays for doing this to you, for hurting you son. I swear to you she will pay"
This wasn't right. It shouldn't be possible. Teresa planned her hit? she want to punish Diana or was it her? How could a mother grow that cruel to plan the hit of her son's bride.Yet she said Diana-hopefully-would pay for doing that to him.
Rufi was so confused at that moment she went back to Callie and dropped heavily beside her.
"Rufi?"
Could she tell Callie? Would she believe her? for the record she wasn't a hundred percent sure of what she heard why involve Callie in her confusion.
"Rufi!" Callie waved in her face .
"I'm fine"
"Did my mother say something to you?"
"No" about her? yes. Not to her.
"Rufi you can talk to me ,you know right" she looked sad that Rufi was withholding something from her.
"It's nothing Callie I'm fine" Maybe she should go talk to Maria, her sister would understand her better.
"I need to go home"
"OK when?"
"Tomorrow"
"A Sunday?"
"Yes"
"Rufi what happened in there?" Callie looked her straight.
" It's nothing I'm fine"
Callie huffed and Rufi saw I'm her eye that she wasn't fooled "I'll try to understand"
"Thank you" Rufi smiled gratefully
"...but I don't believe you're fine. I will find out what happened in there"
Detector Callie.
........................
Rufi left for Maria's early Sunday afternoon to return Monday afternoon the longest time she's been away from the hospital .Teresa seemed suddenly too busy with her phone and obsessed with Ivan's bedside.
Something was going on that Callie had to uncover urgently, If only Rufi had told her what happened yesterday. As it were she couldn't say what all these was about.
After so much frustration Callie got up to ask Teresa the reason for her sudden interest in Ivan's health but when she got to the door of Ivan's mom she halted .
"Tomorrow? Good enough" she heard Teresa tell someone over the phone.
what would happen tomorrow?
"Your last chance girl ,correct your mistakes, I don't want stories anymore.... close the deal tomorrow and I'll forget your misdeed if you don't ..........well you know"
Close the deal ,what deal? better take the bull by the horn .
"Mother what deal are you closing tomorrow"
Teresa paled .
