Rafael:
-Was it a relative of his or a friend? -The head of the commando group, with shrewdness and prudence, sounded the Director of the Hospital.
-No! I think it was someone he found lying wounded at the entrance of his house,” he answered. I awakened the warning calls in my heart and in my brain.
-Do you know the exact location of that find? -said the leader of the group.
-No,” he said.
Convinced that it was Sofia, I took a photo from my cell phone files and showed it to the Director, who, when he looked at it, seemed to be unsure if it was the same person.
-Is it her? -I asked pleadingly.
-Honestly, I saw her only once, on the first day, and I couldn’t make out her features. She had swelling, redness, bruises on her face that completely disfigured her. It was probably the result of the blows she received,” he said.
In any case, the young woman is amnesic,” he affirmed.
Convinced that it was Sofia, we said goodbye to the director and with the whole group we headed for the doctor’s house. There, in his house in the city, we found no one, except for his service personnel, who were unaware of his whereabouts.
Afterwards, we decided to go back to the farm where the entire team of investigators had been hours before. After midnight, the group entered the farm without any authorization and silently so as not to attract attention.
After subduing the service personnel, the commando group took control of the farm and searched room by room until they found Dr. Soto’s room. The latter, surprised by the presence of the commission, immediately asked for his mother and Sofia.
When he left the room, they took him to the main room, where the head of the commando group and I were waiting. Meanwhile, the rest of us searched the house for Sofia. The doctor, worried, demanded an explanation.
-What is going on? What are you looking for? Why did you come into my house like that? This is private property, I can call the police and have them arrest you,” the doctor demanded and threatened.
-Where is the young woman who was discharged from the hospital today? -the leader of the group questioned with a threatening and sinister look.
It was at that moment when the doctor detected my presence, recognized me and asked me:
-What are you doing in my house? And why are you looking for her? -The doctor replied.
-Do you know each other? -asked the leader of the group, with curiosity.
-No,” I answered, “We met today when I went to check on the state of health of Yoly del Mar, the perpetrator of Sofia’s abduction. And by chance, her treating physician turned out to be the same one who had Sofia in his possession.
“Don’t you think there is a lot of coincidence? -I questioned looking at the leader of the group, doubting the doctor, whom I approached to hit him, when he claimed innocence….
-So-Sofia? Yoly del Mar? -The doctor questioned with a trembling voice, trying to get loose, “I don’t know what you’re talking about? I don’t understand.
I only picked up a young woman who was left in a black bag and I revived her at the rural health center,” he exclaimed, “you can check this out at the rural health center.
-Chief! Chief! A-a here she is, a young woman! Her hair is not long, but cropped,” shouted one of the members of the commando group.
Hearing this, I ran towards him, observing a beautiful young woman, who was rubbing her eyes with her hands. When I looked at her, it was my lovely Sofia.
When I looked into her beautiful blue eyes that intoxicate me so much, I tried to hug her, thanking God for this miracle. She started crying and screaming for me to let her go, to leave her, calling Dr. Soto to help her.
Immediately, she pushed me away and rejected my embrace, totally ignoring me.
-Let go! Let go! Don’t touch me! -she shouted, frightened.
-My love, you don’t recognize me, it’s me Rafael,” I declared, remembering what the director of the Hospital had told me.
-Ra-Rafael? No, I don’t remember you,” she confessed incredulously, raising her hands to her head.
-Yes, your boyfriend, my love,” I affirmed, “Do you remember your triplets? -I questioned again, since I doubted the diagnosis he had given to the Hospital Director.
-She suffers from amnesia,” said the doctor, standing up, supported by two of my men and ratifying the diagnosis given to me by the Director.
-Why, with all the operation and publicity I did about her disappearance, didn’t you contact me or the police? What did you want? -I questioned angrily, although the most important thing was that we had found her.
-I have been busy attending cases in collaboration with the Central Hospital, and I have not had time to read the news. Nor did I know that the young woman I saw in the emergency room at the hospital’s request was related to Sofia’s disappearance.
-And how did you know her name was Sofia? -I questioned angrily. “If she suffers from amnesia, how is it possible that she remembers her name?
-Because it’s the only thing she’s remembered so far, her first name. She doesn’t remember her last name or her family, not even if she is married or if she has children,” he said.
-Rafael, we are going to take him to finish the investigations and determine his relationship with Yoly del Mar,” affirmed the command chief, “We will need you to get the order to legalize everything before handing him over.
-Do what you want,” ordered Rafael to the group leader, “However, do not mistreat him. Please, zero torture. I am interested to know what they were thinking of doing with her, between him and Yoly,” I said.
-I don’t know who Yoly is,” shouted the doctor, “and why are you linking me to her? -I did what my conscience told me to do, to help a dying person lying in a desolate area.
-And it was you who precisely diagnosed that he was in a coma, very conveniently,” I declared.
-Because they asked me for the favor at the hospital, I only collaborated. Thanks to them and the help they gave me with Sofia, I was able to save her and help her,” he said honestly.
-What Dr. Soto says is true, he took care of me. I am not clear about what happened to me. While I was hospitalized, he was with me all the time and according to what the nurse told me, he hired her to take care of me,” she confessed.
-In any case, Sofia, I can’t risk leaving loose ends. Hence the need for the authorities to question him and clear up any doubts,” I added, looking incredulous at having her back in front of me.
-I am already communicating with my contacts,” I informed the group leader, “However, I want to leave quickly from here to my ranch, where Estefania and the triplets are waiting for me,” I commented.
-Estefania? Estefania? Is she my mother? -she asked, with a lost look, holding both hands to her head, reason why I got scared and asked the members of the group to release the doctor to examine her.
-Yes, my love! Estefania, it’s your mom,” I clarified, offering her my hand, which she did not refuse.
The doctor began to talk to her and reassure her. He asked her if she remembered her mother. Sofia replied that she was not sure, but her name was Estefania and she wanted to see her.
After this expression from her, I ordered to prepare my own truck to leave from there, to the private hangar and take her to the hacienda. The commando group, was left in charge of everything at the farm, since they needed to clarify the doctor’s link with Yoly…
