- Hi, Rita? Did you come to study? - No. I came to talk about Maria. - What's happened? - She is so nervous. She is going to have a baby and she even don't know in which hospital she will be.
- Tell her that there is nothing to worry about. I have a friend who is a doctor in a very good maternity home. I can arrange that that tomorrow she will be there. - Thank you, moestro. I will tell her.
- Moestro inquired after you. - I didn't come to the lesson because I felt very tired. - He understood this and he isn't angry at you.
-Also, he has arranged that you will give birth in the best maternity home. - Is it true? - He said it. He also said that you shouldn't worry. Are you happy, Maria? - Yes.
-One of his friends works there as a doctor.
-Thank you very much for your help. For everything. - Not at all. I am always glad to help you.
-Victor is very kind. - That's why everybody loves him. What are you thinking about? - I think about men. Not all of them are villains. - Certainly, not all of them.
- You were very unlucky when you met Juan Carlos. Well, I will go to Moestro to find out whether we have any news.
-Is everything arranged? - Yes.
-Everything is fine. He has arranged it. - The God exists. But how can I thank Moestro? - It's your problem. Well, I am leaving you. Don't worry.
-I am sure everything will be fine. When it starts you have to call me. - Yes, Rita. Thank you. You are my best friend.
-Maria! - I am coming, seniora.
-Do you need anything? - How do you feel? - I am fine, seniora. - Very soon you will have a baby. Do you know where you will give a birth? - Yes, seniora.
-There will be a place for me in the hospital next week. - But the childbirth can begin every moment. - Then I will be there at once. It's what the doctor said to my teacher. - So your teacher has arranged everything.
- Wonderful, as soon as better. - Don't worry, seniora. I won't bring my child here. - Each of us has his own destiny. Nothing depends on me.
- I wanted to come yesterday to tell you the news, but then told Rita to tell you. - You are so kind. - Tell me please, can I help you? - No, thank you.
-I don't need anything. - I've brought... - What? - Some money. - I don't need money. - Take it, Maria.
- It will be useful. - I've been paid. In advance for two months. It will be enough for me. - Maria, how will you buy clothes for your baby? - Rita has presented me some. My seniora has bought me a yarn. I have knitted.
- Listen, Maria. I will be offended if you don't take this money. You should better take it. - But I have money. I can show you. Look at this. You can count.
-No, no. I believe you. But will you call me if you need some money? - All right. - Do you promise? - Yes. But I am going to tackle my material problems myself.
-Everything will be fine. I want to say... If I am healthy I will be fine. - I know it. But why have you decided to tackle all the problems yourself? - While working it's possible to overcome any problem. Isn't it true?
- Yes. - Rita said that she will find another working place for me where I will be accepted with my child. - Sure, there are a lot of places where it's accepted.
- But you have to know that if it doesn't work, I and my mother will never leave you alone. - What do you want to say? - That neither I nor my mother will be more poor if we have additional bed in our home. - No!
- Seniora Urkiaga has told me that every person has to hold his own cross. And she is right. I can't depend on another person. It's my problem and I have to solve it myself.
- Maria, can I come to you to the hospital? - Come to me? - Yes. - Thank you. Thank you very much. You are so kind. - You don't have to thank me.
- Check it. - Why, Maria? - So you will know that I haven't taken anything. Look. There are only mine clothes and the clothes of my baby. - I always trusted you. No doubt you are the decent girl.
-If you need anything... - No, seniora. I am so grateful. Thank you very much for letting me be here all this time. - You have deserved it. - I am not sure.
- I was told that servants are always fired when their masters find out that they are pregnant. - It's true. But I have the tender heart and I understand everything. I was young as you.
-I know that there are many temptations in life. - May I go? - Yes. I am sure that you won't take anything that belong someone else.
- Some things are not mine. They belong to my son. - But what if you will have a daughter? - No. Only a son. I am sure. The strong guy will be born. My defender.
- It won't be soon. At first you will to take care of him. - I have the strong arms and the loving heart. - Now you have to be careful with other men. Don't make anymore mistakes.
- It will never happen again. I have only the son in my life.
- I will overcome all the problems myself. I am very strong. you will see. I will bring up my son! - You will bring up your son perfectly well.
- I need to check some data. Answer my questions. Your name... - Maria Lopez. - Are you married? - No.
-What is the name of the child's father? - I don't remember. You can write that I am the single mother. And when I will have a son I will bring him up myself. I will support him myself and he will be only mine.
- You are so sure that it's going to be a son. What if you have a daughter? - Only a boy. - Do you need anything. - No, thank you.
- Tell me please are there many women in this hospital who are waiting for a childbirth? - Yes. - And are all of them married? - Why you ask?
- They are happy. They know they are loved. They know that their husbands are waiting for the children. - All of them are meeting the destiny alone. Is is impossible to share this moment with anyone else. The mother and the child are always alone.
-Alone? - And with the God.
- Seniora! I have to go to Maria. She is in the hospital. - Rita, you know that I have the very important dinner today. - I can't stay. Please, let me go. - I am fed up with you.
- If you want you can go. But forever.
- How is Maria? Poor girl. She might already gave a birth. - I don't think so. Rita will inform me at once. - Maria is alone there. - She is all right, mama.
- She is starting her life so difficult. Trust me. - Don't cry, mama. Everything is ok. It's better to give birth in the hospital surrounded dy experienced doctors rather than in the field, isn't?
-And talking about life... Life goes on. And Maria will find her special place in this life.
-Rita, how are you? - Good, thank you. Tell me please, does senoira from the third floor need a servant? - Yes, and she isn't the one. Seniora from the second floor also needs one.
-And do you think she would she hire a servant with a small child? - Yes, I think. She lives with her daughter who is the old maiden.
-It's wonderful. Tell them that you have already found the servants. See you later and thank you.
