Love Is Made For The Foolish (English version)

Chapter 2 Mom's Choice.

-Good morning boss!. -Every member of staff greets me with a smile.

-Good Morning!- I answer with my typical "I have no idea of what I'm doing" smile.

-Are you ready for your first patient as the hospital's director?- What kind of question is that? Obviously no.

-Oh yes sure, let him in,- I say to my impertinent assistant, wiping the sweat off my hands.

After the first few hours, I feel confident again. I have prepared for this all my life.

The following weeks went by just like that. The only difference is that I have already performed some surgeries and made some important decisions.

At the end of the fifth month in my new position, my mother approaches with that bright smile that reveals that she has a secret and, she can't wait to let it go.

-Hello Darling!-,

-Hello mother, what brings you here?-

-Ah, you know me, I just wanted to know how my baby was doing! - says my mother still smiling like a teenager wanting to tell a gossip.

-Well, I'm fine, you know how this is, there is never a quiet or dull day. But why don't you tell me what you really came for? - It's not that I'm interested in knowing, all I want is for her to leave so I can continue preparing for the open heart surgery that I'll do tomorrow.

It was what she needed to loosen her tongue and then justify herself to my father, claiming that she was forced to tell everything at the insistence of someone else.

-You know it's your sister Hannah's marriage in two weeks,- she pauses to make sure I remember.

-Yes-, I say, dragging the last letter so she understands that she should hurry up and get straight to the point.

-Well, since you are the maid of honor and since you do not have a partner to accompany you-, she stops once more, and since my singleness is a problem for everyone, I know that she has done something I wouldn't like.

It's not like I've never had a boyfriend, I'd several, but none of them managed to make me feel what the characters of my favorite novels had described. Well, seven years ago, I experienced something similar, but not even remotely like "Pride and Prejudice".

-Mother, what have you done?- I say raising my eyebrow a little and seeing her smile get even bigger.

-Ay stop seeing me like that. I just took the liberty of asking Matthew Levy to be your date. Do you remember Matthy? the son of Dr. Levy, who was your father's college classmate and is a very good friend of ours.-

-Ah, yeah right, - although I remember him as a plump child and not very friendly. I never really liked him. -Why did you invite him without consulting me? -

-Because I knew you would say no besides, your siblings already found someone within our profession to form their families, which is very good. You know what your father thinks of those who intend to enter the family.-

I can't help but roll my eyes, my father is a wonderful man, but he can be quite demanding when it comes to who is worthy of being with any of his children, especially me.
