The Hardest YOU Hart!

XXXV CHAPTER: MENDINGS AND HAPPY ENDINGS

- Must be Jörgen's daughter, Olivia, right? I am Novak Waltz, Nova's father. -

- Yes, I am Olivia Bach, Mr. Waltz. It is nice to finally meet you! - I am about to shake my hand when he pulls me in for a hug and a kiss on each cheek.

- My daughter did not lie when she described you as the most awe-inspiring girl in the East Coast of the United States of America. How is your father doing? -

- He is doing great, actually! Thank you very much for asking. - I respond, intending to hide the blush on my face because of his first sentence.

- He must be eager for this wedding to happen... -

- As much as Char, Jay and the rest of us. -

- Yes indeed! Nova is very willing about the ceremony, the speech, seeing you again. -

- Is she, now? Why? You know, I better rephrase the question... Where is Jordan, by the way? -

- Nova and that bastard did not marry last year. She broke up all the relations with him and with her mother as well. They both were playing around with my daughter's feelings. They had an affair, and as far as we all know, it did not start recently. But I assume this is not news for you. -

- I am truly sorry to hear that, sir. I was not sure about it, but I alleged thoughts, suspicions on the matter. -

- Gregory told us about your theory as soon as we found out about it. I want to thank you for protecting my daughter. She told me everything and I could figure out myself you are a remarkable girl. I also want to apologize for taking Nova with me the entire year and taking her away from you. I know you love each other and... -

- Well, Mr. Waltz... -

- Oh, please dear, call me Novak! -

- Novak, first off: I am afraid you are a bit confused about your daughter's feeling. Second, the fact that Nova has not married that jerk does not imply we should be together. I mean, we already tried in the past and it did not work. I used to think it was because of Jordan, or even Geneva herself, but after a long time analyzing the situation, I concluded it was us not being compatible. Third, I have a different theory of what you are telling me right now, so I really do not... -

- Trust us? -

- No, I do not want to get involved in the middle of our family again. I am tired of drama and honestly speaking with you Sir, I do not need a relationship right now... -

- Not even a friendship? -

- You and I know that with your daughter is not like that at all. We intended to be friends in the past, and that did not work out either. So, this conversation is futile because our paths are going on different directions now. Besides, I am not even ready to get hurt again or go throughout this same thing one more time. -

- Do you not love her, then? -

- Mister Waltz, that is not the point here. There are a lot of factors and things you need to consider first and foremost. -

- Like what? -

- The fact that I am having this conversation with you Sir, instead of your daughter to begin with. Now if you excuse me, I seriously must leave now. -

- Just one more thing darling... -

- Yes? - I paused on my track.

- My daughter is so lucky that a girl like you loves her this much. -

- Take care Novak, I will see you soon. -

WHAT THE HELL HAS JUST HAPPENED? I had a kind of intervention from Novak Waltz when he told me the uncensored version of her daughter's love life. I need to admit that I was wrong about the whole story. Well, I guess it is because I never let my friends, Jay or Charmont in person tell me the truth.

When I ended that chapter of my life I did it on those conditions, without hearing the real tale. I bet life is laughing of me at this moment. What a fool of myself! But sticking to the fact that everything happens for a reason, I will say we are better like this. Nova, with her life away in Europe... And I with my life about to change if I finally decide to move to South America!

Piece of cake, huh? Now, I am totally bogging. When I realized, everything would be simpler, well, it turns out it just is not!

I am not planning to lose my mind for something that is not happening yet, or even spending my whole weekend overthinking about this. My agenda is full the next few days, so I am going to focus on it.

Besides, tonight is the rehearsal dinner and I am still putting the entire menu together. After all the guests, have confirmed their presence, it is just matter of numbers for the Chef to prepare the menu for almost 25 people.

Of course, Geneva was invited but she is not coming, and now I know why. Honestly speaking, we are not going to miss her. I am sure I will not miss her tonight or the wedding day.

If Charmont is happy, Jay is happy. And if they are happy, we all are as well. That reminds me that we still have the bachelor and bachelorette party tomorrow. The wedding is on Sunday, so we still have the Saturday to get a bit crazy.

We decided to make this event different from others we have been a part of, because we want to spend as much time as possible with the bride and the bridegroom. They are moving back to London after all. And we only have the weekend to make it happen.

And if I move to Buenos Aires, we are not going to see each other until the holidays probably. It kind of sucks, I know, but it is part of life, part of growing up and being independent. My mom would be so proud of Jay right now, she would love Charmont, too. I have NO doubt in my heart.
