María la del Barrio Capítulo 13 Completo

Si, Ella habla

Que?!

Open up!

Abreme (open )

Why are you bothering ?

I went to bed at 5 in the morning

Dis dude don't learn

I was just told over the phone that Soraya had an accident

and she lost the baby

Que Paso?

How?

Where is she?

I'll need to I.V. you to make it more real

Do what you have to so long as I get through this

You know

You weren't feeling well

You fainted

Pregancy problems resulted in your son's death

Don't worry

I know quite well what to do

Are you sure?

Dr. Mejia himself called me

He's her personal doctor

Get changed now so we can leave at once

Oh, shoot miss nora Victoria

Dat sucks

Poor Soraya

She must be feelin' real bad

It's gotta be horrible losin' a kid

You people don't hear about anything

That's because the rest of us work

We don't eavesdrop through doors like you do

You know what?

There won't be a little runt in the house

What runt?

Who else?

I don't know what really happend to la Senora Soraya

Oh, you don't know then

You're not so good at snooping

What's certain, is that la Senora Soraya

Lost the baby

How did she lose the child she was carrying?

What happend to her?

She was shopping at the mall

She felt ill and fainted

When she became conscious

she asked to be brought here

She was in bad shape

He pregnancy had problems from the start

and now this happened.

At least she got here in time

Pero, como esta Soraya?

No muy bien

But she'll get better

Can we see her?

Who knows wuts gonna happen 'tween them, Lupita

They'll have to let it go

Luis Fernando told me

He told Soraya too

Soon's da runt's born he'd divorce her

It there's no runt now, they gonna get divorced

Don't ya think?

And you just can't wait for Luis Fernando

to get back to wooing you

And since he's getting divorced

you're going to let him

Que paso, mi Lupis?

Nah, yo

Not after wut dat punk said to me

Nah

Even if dat mooch beg me on his knees, I'll say no

He better find someone else to fool

Not me

Calm down

You'll recover

get well soon

I'll never be well again

We lost him, Luis Fernando

We lost our little son

Another day that L.F. doesn't have breakfast with us

He's still sleeping

He's so worried about his wife's state...

No, Dad, he won't even look at her

It's been two weeks since Soraya came home

and they've spoken a few times

What a strange marriage

If that were the case, I'd rather stay single

It's shame, but it won't be long before they divorce

Don't give L.F. any ideas

Your son doesn't love her, Victoria

That marriage is a farse

Oh, and mom, tell L.F. that when he gets home

at 4:00 in the morning, as he does daily

that he doesn't make so much noise. He wakes me up

I need to get up early for school

Vane, don't be makin' things worse yo

Things be gettin' heated 'round here

My bad for bein' all nosy n' distracted

I'm so clumsy

I just don' learn to eat right

By being at my office so much

your missing many of your classes

It will take you longer to learn that way, Maria

Oh, well

I'm gonna keep goin' to yer office

Plus I really like workin' yo

I'll help you

Asi es (like this)

You couldn't be any slower?

I didn't think you would be up so early, mi nina

I'm tired of this charade

You've done it quite well, mi nina

Everyone is fooled

Luis Fernando not so much

All my time here, he's only checked on me twice

He's barely 5 minutes with me

you've seen him

Very little, mi nina

Everyone knows that there isn't a day

when he doesn't get here at sunrise

Again, mom?

You keep waking me up everyday

It's past noon

How much longer will you sleep?

Until I'm no longer sleepy

I have nothing to do

That's what worries me, son

Your dad won't stand for it

What's dad's deal now?

He's annoyed that you sleep so late

and that you get here at sunrise every day

and because you don't study or work

I told him that you would change once married

It hasn't been so

I had also hoped that you would change for your son

But now

Now that son is no more

And so will it be with my marriage

I'll ask Soraya to divorce me this week

Maria, have you thought about what I told you

In what you told me?

Ya told me many things

You know I'm in love with you, Maria

Quiero ser tu novio

You don't have an answer?

You can't be so cruel, L.F.

You can't discuss that with Soraya

She's been warned

I was very clear with her

But now?

After losing the child she was so excited about?

What would you have me do, mom?

You want me stuck with her without loving her?

Soraya's health is no longer at stake

I'm not backing down

I'm going to get some milk now

Carlota will bring it up

I'd rather go

Vladis, give some time yo

You can't keep loving my brother, Maria

I don't wanna love him

I'll get over him

Give me time, man

I promise dat, if I fall for someone else

it'll be you

who else?

Really, Maria?

Quite the romantic scene

How quick you found my replacement, snake

Don't start with me yo

Show Maria some respect

Of course, Chuzmita

You're looking to secure your future

You want to keep one of the de La Vega heirs

Since you can't have it with me

You think my brother will do

When's the wedding?

That's enough, L.F.

Don't get riled up, Vladis

Look here, yo

it's like he talkin' to a wall

He wants us angry

but let's not give it to him, son

I'd rather marry ya in a jiffy

than look at dis punk again

I hope one day you leave

Yer da one dat deserves to be kicked outta here

And earn a livin' like any real man would

A real man

So you can keep my father's money, right?

Look, yo I plan on repaying Tio Guero for

everything he done for me

Cuz it's true dat I'm a ignorant, low class

marginal brute like ya peeps say

but I got somethin' ya don't, son

dignidad (dignity)

And real guts to make good in life

Wut ya think now?

Can I offer you something, Joven?

Un vaso de leche, Felipa

Why am I being like this with Maria?

Why, if I love her?

I can't deny that

la amo

I made ya a tea, Tio Don Guero

Nice huh

Let' see

I made it myself

for the best person in da world

Sit, Maria

I want to speak with you

I'm all ears

You've been coming to my office for a month now

I think it's time I assign you pay

Do you not worry about my health?

I figured you're perfectly fine

now that you're up and about

Yes, I'm better now from the loss of my baby

Your indifference is another story

Now now, Soraya

You may not want to

But I do

This can't go on

We need to seriously talk

Don't be payin' me nottin' Tio Guero

Everyone who works receives pay

But ya already give me tons

I'm da one who owes ya

If you don't accept pay

I can't allow you to continue working for me

No fair yo

Don' be like dat, Tio

It's decided

If you want to stay here

You have to be paid like everyone else

ya give me too much already

I'll give it all to my Barrio peeps

You saw the results

why don't we give ourselves another chance?

I don't feel anything for you

No te quiero

I don't even like you as a woman

Of course

You like Brenda or that filthy Marginal, right?

Leave Maria alone

Oh, so sorry

You defend her

But you don't even talk anymore

Well

At least she doesn't talk to you

Because she has dignity

Because she won't lower herself

before someone who fooled her

Please

dignity

her?

She's worth nothing

If only you were like her

It would be the only way I would fall in love with you

I'm feelin' like studyin' real good

I like to hear that, Maria

I wanna learn real quick

Ya know wut

Tio Guero's gonna be payin' me now

Really, Maria?

I didn't wanna

but he kept pressin' it

So now I wanna learn more

I wanna be a sick secretary

What's here?

Something great

you'll see

You don't trust me?

Women

No, something better

Get ready

You get me?

Don't worry, they got it covered

With a little luck

You'll win enough for what you want and need

What do you think?

What a surprise

L.F., I know you spent a lot in Las Vegas

and MoteCarlo

When Dad used to support me

now I'm trapped

That's what I'm saying

that's not an issue here

Let's try here

Here, they make it easy for you

You ask, you play, you win, you pay

Four easy steps

What if I lose?

What's a few thousand

for the millionaire's son?

As long as Fernando de La Vega is alive

that amount is no problem

Long live Don Fernando

I'm thinking Red 5 will win

Shall we?

Alright

Everything on red five

We won

What do you think

Great

It's very exciting

Shall we continue

of course, Julio

I found the way to kill my boredom

and stay out of the house as much as possible

Fernando, don't go today to the office

You didn't sleep all night with that headache

It's just stress, woman

You know it's just stress

You have to listen to the doctor, Fernando

I do, Victoria, but my high blood pressure

doesn't go down

Cuz ya get too riled up worryin', Tio Guero

Us executives are always worried about something

Maria, convince him to stay

I can't miss out, Victoria,

I have a shareholder's meeting

Tio, we jus' gotta say ya feelin' bad

it's true too

Don't insist

neither of you will convince me to the contrary

I have to do this

Of course, if my eldest son were different...

Take care

Maria, keep him on schedule with his pills

Don't let him work too much

Don't ya worry, seno

I got him watched real good

How was I to know

that God would bless us by bringing you to us

I'm so ashamed of how I treated you

and ask for your forgiveness

Let's get goin' Tio Guero

La Nora Victoria's actin' nice to me

Ya take care of yerself too, Nora Victoria

I can't be watchin' ya both at da same time

Just take care of him and I'll be fine, Maria

Well, get going now

How much Maria has progressed here

She has tio Fernando completely in her hands

That's not the worst part

now Tia Victoria also needs her

She's not stupid, mi nina

she wins people over

She's nice to everyone gets them on her side

She's not as stupid as we thought

Quite the opposite, she's very smart

She chose the best way to stay in this house

Before she was just some charity case

with whom everyone toyed and picked on

But it's different now

She hasn't won yet, I swear Nana

I'm her enemy

her worst enemy

People at this time leave for work or for school

Yet you're getting home hung over

Enough, Fernando leave him

Tio, think about yer blood pressure, jus' leave it

Do you ever plan to change

and become a real man?

Later and later everyday

Don't be like dad getting in my business

It is my business as your wife

You won't be for long

I want to divorce you

This is some kind of sick joke, right?

No joke, I mean it

You know I married you for the child

That child is no more

You're wasting your time, L.F.

I won't accept the divorce

Poor Senora Soraya

Why do you want to stay married to me

if I already told you I don't love you

I don't like you

I don't care

I won't leave Brenda or Maria with a free pass

If I wanted to, I don't need your consent

You married me

and we will stay married

until I say otherwise

Think it through Soraya

It's better if you accept things

Accept the divorce

Nunca (never)

You will be bound to me as long as I so wish it

You won't play me

I swear

If we're not getting divorced

You'll get the worse of this yet

He dared, mi nina?

But I'll never accept

I married him because

I always liked him

But above all to reap the benefits of Tio Fernando's wealth

Not even killing me will he rid himself of me

No quiero hablar con nadie

Leave me alone, mom

La Senora Soraya is not in her room

she must be with her nana

she's always in there

It might have been better if you didn't marry him, mi nina

You've gotten so little in return

But I will get it, Nana Calixta

Y mucho

You'll see

Are you there?

She can't come in

she'll see my witchcraft

Go quickly, mi nina, go

Is it true what Carlota said?

He just did

Don't worry

He just had an argument with his father

i'll talk to him

Don't concern yourself, Tia Victoria

Don't even mention it to him

I won't accept

Come on, Tio Guero

Don't stay like dat

Don't trip over Luis Fernando

Ya know he a lost cause

That's what worries me, Maria

What will become of him when I die?

He'll keep on like all of us

Look at me

I lost my dad, my mom

and my godmother Casilda

Here I am livin' n' fightin'

'course I got lucky with good peeps like ya

Dang it wut time is it?

Ya got yer medicine comin' Tio Guero

Right now

Seriously?

Ya gotta get better

So ya don't keep thinkin' bout death

No yucky faces

Or I won't let ya go to dat meeting

Hey, Seno Caro

I couldn't wait for ya to get here

Well, here I am

Why so eager to see me?

I wanted to ask ya

if ya really think I'm gettin' better

Of course, Maria

You speak better than when I first met you

You act better

You eat much better

You dress well

But we still have a ways to go

Especially in your vocabulary

Yeah, but I don't say 'cuz'

I say 'because'

Not 'fo'

but 'for'

Not even 'ain't'

it's 'it isn't'

I can read good and write all good too

I wanna be all fancy when I turn 18

just like my Tio Guero wants

When do you turn 18?

I got these many left

Two years left

Just turned 16

Well, if you had more time to study

you would learn faster

But since you work with Don Fernando

I really can't leave him now, Seno Caro

He a little ill

I gotta watch him

I make good use of ma time n' study tons

Then let's begin

'aight

Que pasa, Tia?

You seem troubled

Fernando's blood pressure

Those ceaseless headaches

His penchant for business which worsens things

There isn't anything you can do about it

But, have faith

I thank God that Maria is at his side

tending to his need of his medicine

Don't be so quick to trust

Fernando himself told me

In the middle of the most important meeting,

Maria comes in with the medicine

and makes him take it

She must be after something

She's not bad, Soraya

Actually, she's just as naive as when she first came

But she helps Fernando a lot

She's replacing the good child that L.F. should have been

That's the issue, Tia

It could get to a point that Tio Fernando

disinherits his own children

Why think that way, Soraya?

Claro que si(of course)

If Maria la del Barrio

can control Tio Fernando

She will force him to leave her part of his fortune

Oh, dude

If I had met L.F. like I am now

better dressed and actin' better

What would have happened, Maria?

Maybe he wouldn't have fooled me

I was all wild

and he thought it would be easy with me

But he couldn't cuz he couldn't trick me

I was always careful

He's not indecent with you, right?

No, my Lupis

He don't talk to me

n I don't talk to him

Plus, he always out in da street

or snoring away

I barely see him

You still love him, chamaca?

Thank you for eating with us, Son

I hope Dad doesn't start with me

He won't

It's all the same to me

Do you want to eat now, Nana Calixta?

I'll say when I wish to eat

Quite the miracle to have you at the table, L.F.

I'm astounded

You must have gotten home early last night

since you're not asleep at this hour, brother

This dinner's getting off to a great start

Let's enjoy our meal, shall we?

Carlota, inform la Senorita Maria

that we're ready for dinner

I can't stop loving him, Lupita

Don't worry, Lupis

So long as L.F. is married to Soraya

He's dead to me

Don Fernando has asked that you come down to eat

Guess wut?

Last one's a rotten egg

Really, Tio Fernando?!

Si, Soraya

I bought the main balcony for the whole season

Make good use of it

I can't go

Most excellent, Tio Fernando

With how much I love the Opera and Luis Fernando..

Well, I think we all do

Maria can also go

No, Tio, I gotta study n got tons to do

I can't

Why not?

You also need to have fun

It's because she remembers her embarrassing

display the first time she went to the Opera

I do remember

and I ain't ashamed of not knowing lots of things

But that's not why I'm not going

Oh, no?

I'm not going because of what I said

I have to study

Plus I gotta be rested for ma work

Did you hear that, Luis Fernando?

For my job

Something you ain't got a clue about

You were never taught

Jus' like nobody taught me manners

I respect your efforts for self-improvement

especially considering..

what you used to be

and what you can become

Wut

Do I gotta thank ya, Soraya?

It's not needed

Just don't forget you owe it all

to your being in this house

Luis Fernando himself taught you

Not true

Luis Fernando toyed with me

I know

I was a joke to him

But I forgive him

You don't say

I do forgive you

Know why?

Because dat's wut made me wanna learn

And I'm gonna keep learning everyday

Until I become wut Tio Guero wants me to be

A true lady

Maria, I'm going to get some rest

before going back to the office

Don't leave without me

Si, Tio, I'll wait

So you're really not going to the Opera, Maria?

I already said no

Are you deaf or wut?

Why so proud?

Don't ya think it's too fancy for me?

Maybe it was so before

Not so much now

Don't tell me you suddenly don't care

about bein' next to a Marginal at da theatre

Maria, your attitude tells me you're becoming bitter

And you know how much I've changed towards you

I know, Dona Victoria

You've been so patient with me

I don't like dis kinda talk

Mama, you'll have to scold Soraya

She still won't pass the chance to pick on Maria

Of course, she's jealous of her

Jealous? me?

Of Maria la del Barrio?

You always have been

Ungrateful

All I did was defend you

Who asked you to?

I didn't ask you to defend me

I don't need it

How wrong I was to have married L.F.

To have come here to live

I never thought I would be so insulted

Soraya, please

I told you

You'll have it worse than me

See what you caused, Cinderella?

I'm leaving too

Excuse me

Leave her

Don't meddle

Don't lower yourself so

Don't you see she'll never want you

And you?

She wants me

Stay

Why are you blaming me about Soraya?

I spoke the truth

It was your fault

Soraya was jealous of you when you were nothing

now she's more jealous of you

You're so perceptive, huh

I like to toy with people's emotions

To expose them

I'm just not sure about yours

Better watch yourself

If you can

I don't wanna hear you no more

Wait

You've been here some time

You've changed a lot

Pigmaleon couldn't finish his statue

But the statue is alive and well

And that's what counts

Calm down, Soraya

Don't you see how he treats me, Tia?

He's my husband

I'm worth nothing to him

I shouldn't have married L.F.

Of course you should have

you were going to have his child

I'd rather the scandal than this humiliation

What I don't understand is why he said

that you'd get the worse of it all

Because of the divorce

Since I didn't accept

He threatened me

Let me talk to him

He hasn't mentioned it again

Let him forget it

That's what he told you?

He said,

Pigmaleon couldn't finish his statue

but the statue is alive and well

and that's what counts

What did he mean?

Who knows, chamaca

Maybe he was foolin' me again as usual

That's why I was glad you two weren't talking

So you wouldn't suffer

Look at you

And after just a small exchange after so long

He just don't trust women

none

Well, you know why, Mija

Yeah, cuz none ever truly loved him

None 'xcept his mother

and you

not true

not me

I was just a foolish naive girl

I hate him

He humiliates me

I hate him

I hate him

(lo odio)

I'll end up despising everyone in this house

They're your only family

They don't act it

I'm worse than an outsider

I have nothing in common with them

Don't be so upset, mi nina

It pains me to see you cry

I cry out hatred and helplessness

I want to end it all

I'm worse than ever before

Trapped and always

always humiliated

I don't see it that way

Oh, no?

I can't beat Maria la del Barrio

I can't control neither L.F. nor his father

What am I to do in this house?

Worse than that Marginal

She's not at your level

She is Tio Fernando's right hand

I don't doubt that he'll include her

as a beneficiary upon his death

That won't happen

Because I know it won't happen

What would an ignorant peasant like you know?

Don't call me that, Nina

It hurts me

I love you like a daughter

Hija?

If I had a mother like

you

I would have killed myself

Ya gotta take care of yerself, Tio Guero

You act like a true daughter

Despite those who would say otherwise

They'll never win

It's yer love

and yer kid's love

and Dona Victoria's too's all i got in dis world

My Barrio peeps and Lupis too

You're right

You have all my children's love except L.F.'s

My son Luis Fernando is punishment

Some punishment for something I must have done wrong

One day he'll change

And you'll be alive

and well to see him

Don't delude yourself

People like him

don't ever change

He might get worse

Don't say that

I still think the worst is yet to come with him

I just know it

28 black

Stop your drama

You should be used to how I treat you

You hurt me so much

What about me?

Do I not hurt?

What life do I have?

I have no husbad

no money

I have to stay here year after year

until my Tio Fernando and my Tia die

Let's leave, mi nina

Of course not

I wouldn't be at peace

Luis Fernando humiliates me

He better prepare himself

I'm going to get him where it hurts the most

What do you mean, mi Nina?

I'm going to sink him

I'm exacting revenge on him

Ya feel better, Tio Guero?

Much better, hija

Nah, don't gotta thank me

Dats why I'm here

So ya feel well

Oh, Maria, if L.F. were only a tiny bit like you

Tio Guero, I was thinking

Why don't you give him a chance?

Better said

Why don't ya make L.F. to come work here with you?

What are you doing in my room?

So these are your night outs

Wasting money gambling

Not your problem, Vladimir

Have you thought what Dad will say when he finds out?
