Carlos: I'll be here soon

Malèna: I love you

Carlos: I love you too

Carlos was a young man of twenty-eight, a child from a good family without any problem, he then took over his father's business at the age of twenty-six because he was the eldest of a family. of three children, he lived in Belgium before his father was murdered by poisoning.

It was a hard time for him and his family because his father was the backer of their family he now finds himself at the head of his family.

His father having worked his whole family to provide for his family.

To surprise his girlfriend Carlos decided to come home earlier than planned from his little trip, he returned in the middle of the night to the hotel, he found Malèna sleeping, he went to take a shower before slipping into bed near Malèna

Malèna: my love you are back. She said waking up

Carlos: yes. asleep

Malèna: No, I missed you too much. She said kissing him

Carlos: oh Malèna what do I miss you. He said taking off her nightgown

Malèna: shut let me do it ...

The next day he organized a whole day for them to spend together as a couple.

Malèna: baby?

Carlos: um?

Malèna: I told you that I wanted to go see my parents ...

Carlos: yes

Malèna: do you want to come with me?

Carlos: I have so much to do here that I can't afford to go far, first go without me and I'll join you

Malèna: for how long?!

Carlos: three weeks

Malèna: okay as you want

Carlos: when will I hang your ticket?!

Malèna: the day after tomorrow, by the time I put my things away and when I get back, a lot of things have to be said to each other

Carlos: by the way?!

Malèna: from us, what surrounds us and I'm tired of living in a hotel

Carlos: okay but before you go I want to make the most of you

Three days later

It's now been three days since Malèna left and Carlos had to go urgently to Belgium for family problems which are turning out to be very complicated.

While he was at the hotel in Belgium Malèna called her as usual since she returned home to tell her about the problems that have been happening with her parents since her return

Carlos: better?

Malèna: no. I came to live with grandmother by the time I get home

Carlos: do you want to go home?!

Malèna: yes, but I can't leave like that I must at least stay the time I said and then.

Carlos: what?!

Malèna: I think I'm pregnant.

Carlos: ...

Malèna: I'm not sure because my period hasn't arrived yet I'm a week late, I'm going to take a pregnancy test tomorrow and we'll see.

Carlos: Okay you keep me posted, I have to leave you, I love you see you later. He said before hanging up

Will a child be welcome in his life now?! To tell the truth, he hadn't yet thought of starting a family with Malèna despite being in love with her.

Malèna has a touching expression, she is inwardly good, gentle, compassionate, sensitive, beneficent and pious. She is of the affections of a virtuous soul which will imprint, in her features, celestial characters and which will be beautiful even in the extreme of her old age.

The gentle and benevolent affections of the soul are almost always found united in the same woman, with the most exalted imagination, no doubt, in order to destroy its fatal influence, it is thus that nature, always beneficent, has often put the remedy close to evil, and which she no doubt wished, by enlightening the mind by means of the heart, to spare reason for one of her finest triumphs.

Affections cannot be controlled, they are the ones that drive us, and Carlos developed a great deal of affection and love for Malèna.

He went for a drink with his best friend on Avenue Louise because apart from talking to each other on the phone the two men. hardly saw each other, they took the opportunity to see each other.

Louis: How's Malèna?

Carlos: she is fine ... she thinks she is pregnant.

Louis: already?

Carlos: I've been with her for a little more than six years’now

Louis: what are you going to do?

Carlos: I don't know, I have a lot of affection and love for her

Louis: affection blinds reason

Carlos: affection is Malèna ...

Louis: but she's not Lola, who's your wife!

Carlos: I know. but I think that with Lola we got married too quickly

Louis: but she is pregnant my brother

Carlos: I know! But it's always like that with Lola, when I want to leave her she always gets pregnant

Louis: maybe you should stop sleeping with her and give her false hope

Carlos: yes, maybe

Louis: and what do you plan to do if Malena is really pregnant?

Carlos: tell her the truth about Lola and my feelings if she really loves me she will understand because it is with her that I want to make my life

Louis: I hope for you but you thought the same of Lola

Carlos: I was young Louis how old was I?! Nineteen years old?! I got married to her I had

twenty years!

Louis: you are twenty-eight now and you are a dad, you have to make good decisions not only for yourself but also for the people around you, especially your children!

Carlos: you are right.
