solution for Irina and Daisy

After enjoying a small part of Venice by boat, Richard takes Daisy to an international hospital. She walks slowly, trying to keep up with her husband, who is holding her hand.

"Why are we here?" Daisy asks, glancing at Richard.

"We'll find the best solution for you," Richard replies.

"Do you want me to see a doctor?"

Richard just shrugs his shoulders.

Daisy sighs, looking at the classical-style hospital uncomfortably. She imagines meeting the doctor, who will ask her what her problem is. Suddenly, she stops, making Richard stop and look at her.

"What?"

"Richard... I can't tell the doctor that I'm just sick because it's my first time having sex!" Daisy says, lowering her voice. "It would be so embarrassing!"

Richard laughs.

"Richard, I'm serious!" Daisy exclaims, annoyed. "Come on... Let's go back to the hotel. I just need some rest, not treatment!"

"But you have to see the doctor," Richard insists.

"I don't want to, I'm shy!" Daisy pulls her hand from Richard's grip and walks away.

Richard sighs, watching Daisy, who can't even run away from him because she's walking so slowly. He approaches her and stops her.

"I don't want to!" Daisy says.

"We're not talking about what's happening to you, we're just going to consult about the right contraception for us," Richard says, frowning. "Don't worry... The doctor won't even ask when you had your first sexual encounter," he continues.

"Contraception?"

Daisy is taken aback, remembering that contraception is a way to prevent pregnancy.

"We can't have a baby right away, so it's better to use contraception," Richard says, holding Daisy's hand and leading her back.

Daisy obeys and follows Richard.

"If we use contraception, we can have sex without worrying," Richard says.

"But... We can have sex like last night," Daisy says, thinking. "I mean... We can have sex without ejaculating inside... That prevents pregnancy," she continues softly, not wanting anyone else to hear her.

"But I'm not sure that's effective, and I'm afraid I'll lose control, and you'll get pregnant before you're ready," Richard says, then embraces Daisy's waist, looking at her with a smile. "And I don't like it when you have your period... It can make me unable to enjoy you all the time. So... We'll find a solution to that later," he continues.

"Oh my God... That's embarrassing!" Daisy moves away from Richard.

"It's normal, Honey," Richard pulls Daisy closer to him. "Besides, we only meet this doctor once. Next time, we'll always consult with our doctor in California," he continues.

Daisy falls silent, continuing to walk and imagining if she didn't have her period, Richard could just have sex with her anytime. It makes her shudder, imagining always being tired and uncomfortable, especially since she just lost her virginity.

"Well, this is the obstetrician's office," Richard points to a room with an Italian sign that says "ostetrico".

Daisy immediately stops, causing Richard to stop too.

"I don't want to!" Daisy says, frowning.

"Why?" Richard asks.

"I'm not ready... I... I don't want to do it!" Daisy replies, moving away from Richard and sitting in the waiting room.

Richard sighs, looking at Daisy, who is being dramatic. He approaches his wife, who is silent and worried, then stands in front of her.

"What are you afraid of?" he asks.

"I don't want to miss my menstrual cycle just to serve you... I think it's not healthy," she said, not daring to look at Richard. "And I also need rest... Don't always ask me to have sex," she continued anxiously.

"Of course not, I'm not that crazy!"

"But you don't want me to have a period... For me, that's not healthy!"

"Okay..." Richard nodded. "We'll use contraception without affecting your menstrual cycle. We'll do this to avoid using damn condoms and to prevent you from getting pregnant!"

"Really?"

"Yeah... whatever is best for you," Richard said, then reached out his hand to Daisy. "Come on... Let's go see the doctor," he continued.

With a pout, Daisy grabbed Richard's hand and walked towards the obstetrician's office. The woman felt strange, feeling that what she was doing was unusual and had never been thought of before.

'Maybe later I should search the internet for information about preventing pregnancy besides contraception,' she thought.

___

Monterrey, Mexico, 10 am.

Ferdinand stopped his car in front of a white building. He immediately got out and opened the door for Irina.

"Why are we here?" Irina asked, looking at the empty building in front of her, which didn't look like a cafe, restaurant, or company. If it were a company, there would be many employee vehicles in the parking lot, but there were only three cars there.

Ferdinand closed the door again, then took Irina's hand. "We're doing something sacred here," he said with a smile.

"Something sacred?"

"Yeah... Sacred, once in a lifetime, and will make you never be taken by anyone," Ferdinand explained, then led Irina towards the front door of the building.

Irina could only surrender, following Ferdinand who kept holding her hand. The girl looked so elegant in her white dress, with her hair hanging loose, and wearing light makeup and gold heels, while her boyfriend wore black pants and a white shirt with black shoes.

Arriving in front of the tall and wide door, Ferdinand pushed it open. He and Irina were immediately greeted with a wide, clean white-colored hall, with no one people there.

"Oh my God, what is this place?" Irina asked with surprise, looking around like a ballroom.

"A sacred place," Ferdinand answered casually, looking towards the stairs. "Let's go upstairs," he continued.

Irina sighed, following Ferdinand to the top floor. The girl walked slowly, enveloped in curiosity about the purpose of the place and what her boyfriend meant by a sacred place.

Arriving on the top floor, Irina finally found signs of life there because several people were sitting in chairs near the table, like a work desk.

"Who are they? Why do we look like a participant who will register?" she asked.

"We're already registered, no need to register again," Ferdinand replied, leading Irina towards a man sitting in a formal suit.

"Mr. Smith," he greeted.

"So, do you want to marry her now?" Mr. Smith asked.

"Yes...," Ferdinand nodded.

"Okay then," said Mr. Smith, then stood up.

Irina frowned, surprised that Ferdinand's purpose in bringing her to this place was to marry her. She looked at her boyfriend with surprise, full of questions.

"Are you serious?" she asked.

"Yes, Baby. This is the only way to make you completely mine, and no one can take you away from me, not even Richard," Ferdinand answered with a convincing smile. "Even if we go back to California, we will still be together. He can't take you away from me," he continued.

"But...but getting married also requires a lot of requirements..." Irina felt hesitant.

"I have prepared everything. We just need to follow Mr. Smith's and the priest's instructions," Ferdinand explained, as a priest and another man came and stood beside Mr. Smith.

The priest immediately stood in front of Ferdinand and Irina, holding a book in one hand while the other man watched silently. The priest began the simple wedding ceremony, and the atmosphere suddenly became very calm.

"Ferdinand Eduardo Vargas, are you willing to take Irina Bartman as your wife?" the priest asked.

"Yes, I do," Ferdinand replied.

The priest turned to look at Irina. "Irina Bartman, are you willing to take Ferdinand Eduardo Vargas as your husband?"

Irina hesitated, swallowing her saliva. She couldn't hide her nervousness, couldn't answer now because all of this was too rushed, unexpected. However, seeing Ferdinand looking at her with sincerity, she couldn't bear to refuse him, especially since he was her only hope for a better future.

"Yes, I do," she said softly.

The priest took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He immediately asked Ferdinand and Irina to hold hands, then began to recite the marriage vows.

"I...Ferdinand Eduardo Vargas, take you, Irina Bartman, to be my wife, to own and care for each other from now on forever. When it is hard or happy... rich or poor... And when it is healthy or sick. Always love and respect one another, until death does us part, according to God's holy law, and this is my very sincere promise," Ferdinand said with a sincere look for Irina, following the priest's instructions.

With her body slightly trembling and her heart beating fast, Irina began to recite the vows in a soft voice, following the priest's instructions.

"I, Irina Bartman, take you, Ferdinand Eduardo Vargas, to be my husband, to own and care for each other from now on forever. When it is hard or happy... rich or poor... and when it is healthy or sick. Always love and respect one another, until death does us part, according to God's holy law, and this is my very sincere promise."

"Now, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride," the priest said, then took a step back.

Ferdinand immediately leaned in and kissed Irina's lips gently, his eyes closed as he felt the meaning of the kiss, a kiss more beautiful than usual.

Irina responded to the kiss softly and slowly, her legs weakening and reflexively reaching for Ferdinand's waist.

"Now, no one can separate us. You belong to me!" Ferdinand said enthusiastically.

Irina just smiled and hugged Ferdinand. 'I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong. Daisy, Mom, Dad... forgive me. I've acted recklessly... But I can't refuse Ferdinand... He has shown me his sincerity,' she thought, filled with guilt for her family.
