In high school, everyone had a passion for soccer, José was one of the forwards of the team and trained on the school campus, he was handsome, athletic and very intelligent, he was also one of the One of the best students in the school, he had a great passion for music. For her part, there was Julia, a young lover of music as well, of the plastic arts, with a gift for painting, outdoor activities, animals and good cooking, however, a bit introverted.
In music classes they had to sit next to each other, little by little they got to know each other, she began to go to the games, he began to find time to go to art and cooking classes. Upon finishing high school, both took different paths, the universities they both chose were at opposite poles, which is why they lost contact for some time.
Years passed, in a children's soccer game that was played in a town, the final of the local championship was played, each team was giving everything on the field, in one play, one of the boys commits a foul, but the referee does not he sings it giving the law of the advantage, the game ends tied at zero goals. The parents go to look for their children on the field, a boy shakes hands with another boy from the opposing team and tells him that he played very well, to which the young man replies: You do the same. At that moment he greets his mother and tells her:
Mom, this is Enrique, the new guy I told you about.
The mother greets him and the boy introduces him to his father, who was distracted talking to the coach, and when he turns to respond to the greeting, both remain in one piece...
Julia? It can't be.
La mamá del joven responde:
The young man's mother replies:
Joseph? How long has it been, how are you?
Enrique and Pablo look at each other puzzled, Pablo asks them: Do they know each other? Where from? If they are just arriving in town. José responds to Pablo:
We were classmates at school. Both Julia and José were nervous, in a minute they had so many memories of their youth at school. They stood looking at each other, there were few parents left on the court. Henry told them:
Let's go for an ice-cream!
Julia and José reacted by saying yes, of course, an ice cream. They began to walk, when they reach the parking lot, José tells him:
- Well, you know the place better than us, so you go ahead and we follow you.
Julia and Pablo nodded and set off. Upon arriving at the ice cream parlor, Pablo and Enrique went straight to the counter to choose which one they were going to try from more than 100 flavors; meanwhile, Julia and José began to wonder about their lives.
José took the initiative, he told him: - I studied the Saxophone, from time to time I play, I graduated as a doctor, I am a traumatologist and a sports doctor, I am the new doctor at the town hospital. I got married 10 years ago, my wife passed away 7 years ago. My son Enrique and I arrived at least a couple of weeks ago, he is 8 years old. An excellent boy. And what have you done?
Julia asks him what flavor he wants, José asks the boys, but he sees that each one already has a huge cone, so before he answers, Julia tells him: Coffee with chocolate and nuts, right? José was amazed, after 15 years without seeing each other, Julia perfectly remembers her favorite ice cream. They order, cancel and sit down. At that moment, José's phone rings, he was from the Hospital, there was an emergency and he had to go, he calls Enrique while he apologizes to Julia, he tells her that they would continue talking later
The next day, Julia receives an early call, it was José apologizing for having to leave that way and invites her to lunch, Julia accepts. When the time of the meeting arrives, José is waiting for her at the agreed restaurant, 1 hour passes, he calls Julia but she does not answer, he tries again without success, he begins to worry.
He gets a call from the hospital, he has to go. When he arrives at the hospital, he finds an emergency due to trauma, a bicycle accident, when he sees the patient he cannot believe it, it was Pablo, in that he sees Julia, all nervous, crying, he tells her that he is going to check on Pablo, but to tell you exactly what happened.
I was about to go out to see you, Julia tells her, that's when the school called me, that Pablo was hit by a hit-and-run vehicle, I don't know anything else, the doctor didn't come, I don't know what to do.
José tells him that he is going to check on Pablo, to give him a few minutes. Upon entering the emergency cubicle, he sees Pablo, some scratches on his right leg and right arm, he is conscious, José asks him if he remembers what happened to him, to which Pablo replies yes, it was his fault, he left without seeing that a car was coming, that his right ankle hurts, José examines it and orders some X-ray plates to rule out fractures.
A few minutes pass, José receives the plates, fortunately they are only blows, so he prescribes some painkillers and rest for 1 month, immobilizes her ankle as a precaution and explains to Julia what happened.
Julia, now much calmer and relieved, thanks José, while they have a coffee, she tells her that Pablo is her miracle, that he is everything in her life, that she met her father at an art exhibition, they went out for a while and she got pregnant, from the moment she told him she just disappeared, since then she hasn't dated anyone else, she's been dedicated to Pablo and his art, his paintings, for 8 years.
Since that day, they saw each other very often, Pablo recovered completely, 5 months later, they were playing a new final of a soccer tournament, Enrique with the school team and Pablo with another team, on this occasion, Pablo had scored a goal and enrique another goal, they were still tied at 1 goal in the 60th minute, when the match referee signaled the end of the game. A new tie.
Julia and José invited all the children to celebrate at Julia's house, while Julia prepared the drinks, José grilled some sausages, Enrique and Pablo called them and told them that they had to tell them something very important, Julia and José surprised by the behavior of their children entered the house behind them, and already in the living room, Pablo tells them that he loves Enrique as his brother and that he also loved him, that they did not want to continue living in separate houses and that the only thing that was missing was what everyone knew in the town, that Julia and José were very much in love with each other and that what they had to do was take the step.
José and Julia did not find what to say, they blushed as they held hands, finally José tells her:
The boys are right, it's time to form a single family, I love you, since high school, since music classes and art classes, since I knew that you saw me play soccer, and despite the time that has passed, this reunion has It was a whim of fate, let's not wait any longer
And getting down on his knees, he takes out a red case from his pocket and, showing him a ring, tells him:
This ring has been with me for 14 years, waiting for its owner to accept it to be my wife.
Julia totally surprised, puts her hands to her face, can't believe what she's experiencing and answers:
Yes José, I will be your wife, let's form that family that we always wanted to have, I love you.
At that moment, while they kiss, all the boys were leaning out of the windows witnessing everything and applauding, Enrique and Pablo celebrated shouting:
¡Tengo un hermano!
I have a brother!
