Spanish term or phrase: ruquis
Esse é um adjetivo usado para falar do (aparentemente) seu ex-namorado. É um adjetivo pejorativo. Trata-se de uma novela mexicana.

Obrigada desde já pela ajuda.

Explanation:
Mariana,
Assim como a pergunta anterior, sem o contexto fica difícil. Mas como mexicana que sou posso entender nesse sentido. RUCO significa velho, inútil. Ruquis seria um termo mais "carinhoso" ou pejorativo, segundo o contexto.

Abraço,

Maribel
