Pedro Donoso in Salvador's body

Day 11


While going to the cementary, the wooden box conveying the remains of Salvador Cirenza started rocking from side to side on the shoulders of the carriers. This was because Pedro woke up in the body of Salvador and started suffocating. Others did not notice it but Cantalicia did and was trying to draw the attention of the others who were crying more than the bereaved. When those carrying the coffin could not take it anymore, they dropped it and Salvador burst open the coffin. Everyone was shocked and stared at him. He stared harder because he did not know anyone amongs them so he just started running and the crowd pursued claiming he has resurrected.

Isabel went to Angela's room to talk about the incident before the death of Pedro while two maids lingered around to listen to the conversation. Angela opened the door and told her she does not want to talk to her because she is a hypocrite and adulterer. Isabel said she cannot judge her since Pedro agreed not to have any intimate relationship with her due to his failing health. Angela was furious and told her father cannot agree to such an arrangement. Aunt Rebecca hid by the door and heard all the juicy details. She emerged from there to separate the ladies and took Isabel back to her room.

Finally, the crowd overpowered Salvador while the Priest went to the Police. The Sherriff of LA Crustia is a clown. After mocking the Priest for his weird and unbelievable story, he decided to accompany him to see the resurrected. The Sheriff finally saw the resurrected so they shooed away the crowd and arrested Salvador for questioning.

Aunt Rebecca took tea to Isabel in the morning and asked Walter and the maids to redo the bedroom since she does not want to change to another room. Isabel was angry and started yelling at them all to get out.She was suffering more from guilty conscience than grief. She needed Nina at this time and Rebecca gave her the phone number she had of Nina but when she called she was told she has travelled to Europe.
Sheriff Compo was surprised that SAlvador was to be buried alive. Meanwhile Salvador was looking like a frightened and caged animal. He was quiet and Cantalicia says he's generally shy but when he approached him, he became violent. Nurse Fatima explained that he may have gone into a coma to warrant the hasty burial. Lilie says he's lost his mind. It was decided that he be taken to the hospital for proper examination.
Isabel went to see Andre and he warned her not to provoke Angela so that she does not prosecute them. He says Angela was defenceless so she should stop unnecessary argument with her. Isabel apologised.
Angela confided in Antonio about Isabel and Andre cheating on Pedro and betraying his trust in them. He believed her.
Salvador was taken to the hospital and after examination the doctor confirmed him to be strong as an ox. He says that he only has cardiovascular fit.
Andre went to search for Simon to encourage him but he saw through his pretense. He told Andre it might be easy for him to pretend but but he cannot.
The doctor came to see Valeria to assess her progress and confirmed her perfectly okay. So Isabel went to see her and advice her to change her attitude from that of an old grieving maid to the 24 years old young woman she is.
