MY APOLOGIES

As Dylan drove to the hospital his attempts on trying to engage Anna in a conversation were futile.

She didn't know how Vincenzo was doing and it was eating her up.

The moment they reached the hospital she was out of the car and rushed to the ER. She looked like a mess but she didn't care.

All she wanted was to see Vincenzo. No one had been picking up her calls and she was on the verge of tears.

The moment she saw Raul her heart stopped racing a bit as she ran to where she was. He looked at her and she looked like she was in distress.

"Where is he ?", she asked him and you could sense the fear in her voice.

She did not know what to expect and was scared of the answer they were going to give her.

"She's in surgery ", Raul said and her heart dropped to her stomach.

That meant that he had been seriously hurt. She tried as much as she could not to break down in front of Raul.

"How long have they said the surgery will take ?", she asked him.

"I don't know the doctor said that they will tell us once they are done with him ", Raul said and as he was talking Anna saw Maggie from the corner of her eye coming their way with coffee in her hand.

"Am so sorry ", she said and before she was done Anna had already engulfed her in her hug and she let the tears flow.

She was scared.

Scared that things might not go as they anticipated in the surgery. She couldn't lose him.

"He's gonna be Okey ", Maggie said as she rubbed her back in an attempt of calming her down.

After a minute Anna pulled back and wiped the tears in her eyes and looked around to find a seat.

In the few minutes that she had been at the hospital, she had forgotten that she had come with Dylan. He waited for her to notice him but yet again he was invisible to her. All she could think about was Vincenzo and he was the only person she wanted to see.

He didn't know how to feel about Vincenzo's accident He didn't know if he was supposed to be released that maybe he would no longer be in the picture.

He didn't know how much he had been hurt but given the fact that it was an airplane crash, he knew things were sweet, not pretty.

"Hey am gonna go and leave you guys maybe you need some time alone ", Dylan said as he walked to where Anna was.

She looked up and nodded at him. She didn't even bother to tell him a thank you. That was the last thing on her mind at the moment.

"Did the others survive ?", An asked as she stood up and started pacing around.

She couldn't sit still when she didn't even know how her husband was doing.

"No they didn't ", Raul said.

There was an uncomfortable silence between them as they all sat there waiting for a doctor to exit and tell them that he was going to be okay.

Anna's foot tapping was making Raul go crazy but he couldn't tell her. As he looked at her he realized how much of a mess she was.

Her hair loomed drenched like she had been standing in the rain, and her eyes were puffy he assumed she had cried after finding out that Vincenzo had been involved in an accident.

It had been covered in the news and sooner or later the hospital was going to be flooded with reporters who wanted to know what was going on.

Anna didn't know that though. She took out her phone from her pocket and dialed her mother-in-law's number.

She picked up the second ring and she could feel the pain in her voice the moment she started talking.

"Is my baby okay?", Vincenzo's mother asked her mid-sobs.

"I don't know yet he is in surgery ", Anna said.

"What happened?", Vincenzo's mother asked her.

"He was involved in a plane crash ", Anna said.

"Yes I heard that it was covered in the news but it was not like the weather was bad or anything. I know him he would never board the plane unless it was checked to know it was safe to use it ", she said and as Anna thought more about it she remembered the time she had use it to fly to Mexico .

Routine checks had been done before the plane had been flagged safe to use so there was no way it had been a mulfintion of the plane .

"Where was he coming from ?",his mother asked .

"She had a meeting with on of our clients in Mexico . He was coming back when it happened ", Anna said.

"Have you done business with these people before ?", she asked Anna.

"Yes I have but he is a new client so I don't think he would have done anything to hurt Vincenzo, the meeting went great ", Anna said trying to convince herself that.

Did the meeting go great?

As she was talking to her the door of the surgery room opened and his eyes were fixated on the doctor.

"Am sorry but the doctor is here am gonna call you once am done ", Anna said, and before she could answer she cut the call and rushed to go talk to the doctor.

"Who is family ?", the doctor asked.

"Am his wife ", Anna said ", how is he doing ", her heart was beating hard as she waited for the doctor to tell her the news.

"The surgery went great and we stopped the internal bleeding. However, he suffered a massive blow to the head so we don't know how he will be when he wakes up ", the doctor said and Anna's face went white.

She couldn't feel her legs and Maggie noticed who held on to her arm and squeezed it.

"Can I see him ?", Anna asked the doctor.

*You can't see him right now they are transferring him maybe after some hours after he gains consciousness that is if he does ", the doctor said and walked away leaving Anna in pieces.

She didn't even know what to do. She couldn't cry she just stood there the only thing that startled her was the ringing of her phone.

She picked it up without looking at it hoping that it was her mother-in-law.

"Hello I saw the news and wanted to call you to give my apologies ", the person on the other side said.

It was not a voice that she had heard before.

"Who is this ?", she asked the person as she pulled the phone from her ear to see if she could recognize the number but it was a new number.

"That isn't important, when your husband wakes up tell him I burnt his trucks and workers. He should listen and do what he is told, this wouldn't have happened. When I told him to see me before he left he should have done that, not fly away like a weak bitch ", the person said and the call disconnected.
