Love Is Made For The Foolish (English version)

Chapter 33 Matt's Life

I still can not believe that it has been three years since I learned that I would be a father for the first time.

It had been months since I had started to change, at first I did not notice it, but the change in Eliza's attitude towards me was what made me understand that I was doing something right.

I'd already considered starting a family with her, but I still had to make her fall in love with me and make sure Nick no longer meant anything to her.

That is why I proposed dating both of us for two weeks, for a moment I was afraid of losing her, but I remembered that she had come to me when she needed protection, that must mean that she had feelings for me, I needed to know.

That last day, as we watched the sunrise together, I had an epiphany, this was what I wanted to do every day for the rest of my life, with her.

I envisioned a future with someone for the first time, and instead of fear, I felt peace.

Then, I assumed that she would choose Nick for the whole first love story and blah blah blah, so I thought I'd say goodbye forever.

But after a few minutes of driving to nowhere, I thought what an idiot I had been, I was in love for the first time in my life! And I wasn't going to let her go.

When I got to my apartment, Nick was getting out of his car, looking like he hadn't slept at all, and he said:

-Have you come to break up with her or to tell her how much you love her? -

-The second option, I'm sorry,- was all I said.

-Uff I know this will sound weird, but I came for the first one! -

-What? Are you kidding me? - my face was that of someone who has seen a ghost.

-No, I've been thinking about everything that has happened and the truth is that Eliza and I were never destined to be together. Our paths may cross again, but they will never lead to the same place. But yours will, all her life has been a reflection of yours. We were just a dream.

I hugged him so hard that he could hardly breathe, his surprise was the same as mine, we ran inside calling her name but she did not answer, when I went up the stairs I saw them.

My only thought was to get her out of there without a scratch and end the threat.

I hadn't thought about anything else until I knew I would be a father, I felt surprised, fear, desire to protect my little family; But more than anything, I felt such a great love for them that I didn't think of anything else, I would give my life to protect them, I was willing to get shot.

Fortunately, my dear father-in-law intervened and things turned out well in the end.

Now, we celebrate our first anniversary as husband and wife, little Joel runs happily through the garden of our new home.

Eliza sunbathes with her huge belly uncovered, little Nicole writhes inside her mommy eager to get out, but there are still at least two months to go.

I'm organizing our first family mission trip (after Nico's birth). At last Eli and I will fulfill our dream of bringing medical care to places where that is almost impossible, through the foundation of her family and now mine as well.

The two hospitals have merged into one and a group of doctors runs it more efficiently.

Anyway, my life is, at the end of it all, better than I ever imagined, all thanks to that one day a woman asked me to accompany her daughter to a wedding!
