The Angel's Silence 30

Maya was wheeled back into her room.

The Doctor's tried to reach Mariya on her cell, but she either wasn't answering or had it turned off.

Maya wasn't informed of anything the doctors may or may not have found, although she continued to ask. Caelia was still missing. Rayna slowly stepped into Maya's room. She was happy to see her sister doing better, but for some reason, it still felt awkward being around her.

"Are you still angry with me?"

Asked Rayna

"Of course not."
Answered Maya

"What did the doctor's have to say?"
Asked Rayna

"They wouldn't tell me anything.

They have been obsessively trying to get a hold of mom.

That doesn't sound good, does it?"

"Well, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's something bad. Maybe they want to tell her good news."

"Than why wouldn't they tell me if it was good news?"

"I'll try to call her in a moment, but first... Is there something medically wrong with Caelia?"
Asked Rayna

"I'm not sure. She never told me of anything. Why do you ask?"

"It's probably nothing, but I saw several bottles of medication in her bag, and she was acting kind of strange."

"Come to think of it... She always leaves class around the same time every day. I can remember seeing bottles of pills in her car one day. I asked her what they were for, and she just said they were her father's, but they were in her name."

Said Maya

"How odd! I wonder what's wrong with her?"

"Well, if she wanted us to know she would have told us already. It's really none of our business."

Rayna was leaving the building to try calling her mother, when she saw Caelia driving away.

She knew she was leaving, just thought it was rude not even to say goodbye before she left.

Mariya stood stiff as a statue. Still in complete shock from what Elena had told her.

"Could she be telling the truth?

We have been married that many years, and he wanted to leave me the whole time?"

She asked herself not knowing her next move.

Mariya gathered all of her strength, and walked back into the building, and headed straight for Antanas' room.

She saw Elena at his bedside, holding his hand, and whispering to him.

This infuriated Mariya. She stormed into the room, and shouted,

"I don't care what you said. It was all lies!

Your own way of taking my husband from me. I know him, and I know that he would never do the things that you claimed. Now leave here now!"

She had convinced herself that Elena was lying.

Right as she was about to leave she said,

"You don't have to believe me if you don't want to, but just ask your precious husband when he wakes up, and just see what he says. I can promise you one thing, you won't like it."

She than ran off. Now Mariya really was confused. Does she ask him when (if) he wakes up or not? That was the question she continued to ask herself.

***

Rayna tried several times to call her mother, but she was too busy contemplating her future with Antanas to answer.

She walked back into the building, and was about to go into Maya's room, when she saw Maya's doctors talking.

She didn't hear much except for,

"I am really dreaded having to tell the parents about this. They are going to be devastated."
