Never did I imagine that making love could be so wonderful. The sensations that run through our bodies, the madness that invades our minds, leading our sanity to space, and that strong feeling that makes our hearts skip a beat. Benjamin was perfect in every detail. I stored everything in my mind, our gaze, our kiss, our sweaty bodies colliding with each other, while our intimacies blended crazily and that love that multiplied inside me.
I know Benjamin is not and never will be a man of serious commitment, he just wants to have sex, and when I agreed to come here, I knew that very well. However, I felt bad with his distance, after everything we did in that room. Deep down, I had hoped that he and my love could change him. That getting to know me would make him fall in love with me, it was very childish of me to believe that I would live a fairy tale.
..."The truth is, every woman dreams of living a fairy tale! Until she has her first heartbreak and realizes that life can be much more than that!"...
After that unique and wonderful night, his words and attitude hurt me. To him, it was just a night of pleasure. I pretended to be asleep, when I was sure he was asleep, I carefully get out of bed, avoiding any sudden movement to avoid waking him up. I change and with my sandals in hand, I leave his room, use his phone in the living room to call a taxi and go downstairs. It doesn't take long for the taxi to arrive and I breathe a sigh of relief, I go all the way thinking about Benjamin, while he is different. At the bar and in his room, he was just the conquering Don Juan, but with his family, he is different, affectionate, outgoing, funny.
I get home trying to make as little noise as possible, when I close the door, the living room light comes on. I see Eliza standing there, arms crossed, with an inscrutable look.
"Where were you, Diana?" she asks.
"At the wedding!"
"Until now?"
I can't lie to Eliza, so I tell her everything that happened. She freaks out, because I gave myself to a stranger and after a long sermon, she notices my sadness.
"Diana! I don't want to see you suffer, that's why I've always advised you to stay away from that guy! You are a sweet, special girl for a man like him who just uses women!"
"Deep down..., I believed that with me it could be different! I really believed that I could be special enough to make him fall in love with me!"
"Oh, my sister, don't be like this!" she says hugging me.
"I'll be fine, dear!"
"Let's rest and tomorrow, let's go to the pharmacy to buy the pill!"
I nod and we go to rest.
It was difficult to sleep, thinking about that wonderful man.
Overcome by fatigue, I fall asleep.
"Some days have passed since that wonderful night."
Due to the rush of my graduation, I remembered to take the pill only at night. My graduation was wonderful and a lot of fun. I haven't seen Benjamin anymore and we haven't talked about it anymore. I can't deny that I still think about him, but it's just something good that happened and has passed.
Today is Christmas Eve and we are at Peter's family's house, they are simple and very welcoming people.
I was helping his sister finish decorating the Christmas tree when my vision blurred and I lost consciousness.
I wake up in a hospital ward, with my sister by my side, her face buried in her hands, crying.
"What happened?" I ask and she hugs me.
"Diana, you scared me to death, sister! I was so scared..."
A doctor enters the room, carrying some tests in her hands.
"Good evening, Diana! How are you feeling?" she asks politely.
"Fine!"
"Why did she faint, Doctor Is my sister okay?" she asks, concerned.
"We did the tests and your sister is pregnant, that's why she fainted!"
The word "pregnant" echoes in my head and I am paralyzed, holding my breath for a few brief seconds.
"P... pr... eg... nant?" my sister asks slowly, as surprised as I am.
"Yes! I'm going to give you a discharge, but on Monday, make an appointment with the obstetrician for prenatal care, it's very important to keep up with it!"
She signs my discharge and leaves.
I release all the air I was holding in my lungs and my eyes well up. Eliza's silence was agonizing me.
I get changed and we leave the hospital in silence, Peter waiting for us in the parking lot.
"Is everything okay?" he asks.
I look at Eliza and burst into tears.
"Forgive me, Eliza..., forgive me!" I say in tears.
She pulls me into a tight hug and cries with me.
"You don't have to ask for forgiveness, my little flower! I'm the one who should ask for forgiveness, I didn't instruct you as I should have, I failed..."
"Don't even think about blaming yourself! I was irresponsible, I knew exactly what I was doing, I let myself be carried away by the moment and this is what happened!"
Peter looks at us without understanding anything, so Eliza tells him that I am pregnant.
"But this can be resolved if you don't want to..."
Eliza closes her expression disapprovingly of what Peter was saying. He didn't say it out of malice, but rather, he noticed our desperation. It's not something we were expecting.
"That never crossed my mind! I would never resort to an abortion, it would be too unfair to me and to the little being forming inside of me!" I say with conviction.
"That's right! And I am here to support you in everything, my little flower! We will get through this together!"
"And the father? Will you tell him?" he asks.
"Of course! I didn't do it alone!"
"And what if he doesn't want to?" Eliza asks.
"I don't believe he is so heartless as to ignore the pregnancy of his own child!"
"We'll figure that out later, my little flower!"
"Let's go back to my parents' house, they must be worried!"
We return to his house and I apologize for what happened.
I don't tell anything about the pregnancy, as I still have to come to terms with all of this. Even though I'm trying to be strong in front of Eliza, I am terrified. I have no idea what will happen to us from now on.
