A New Beginning

(A beautiful girl from Finland, Ena Falchi, studying Bachelors of Economics at Fernando Pessoa University, has a bright face full of dreams. But destiny had other plans for her. The doctors announced that she was suffering from blood cancer and only had one year left. She keeps her dreams in her eyes, but this moment of her life is so bitter that she doesn’t know what to do next.)

Ena: (With pain and fear, speaking to herself) I always thought I’d graduate with good grades, then marry a good guy, build a beautiful house, and find true love... But I never imagined life would change like this.
(She is heartbroken, but there’s still a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and she still holds on to her dreams.)

(After being diagnosed with blood cancer, Ena is returning to her hostel. At the hostel door, her classmate Niall Matthews sees her and stops.)

Niall: (With concern) Ena! Are you alright? What did the doctor say? Didn’t they tell you to avoid coffee?

Ena: (Laughing) No! The doctors said eat everything, drink everything, live life as you should. I’m fine.

Niall: (Looking at her) It seems like you’re handling it all well. There’s something special in your smile, but I’m truly concerned about your pain.

(Niall takes Ena to the canteen, and they get lost in cheerful conversation. Ena forgets her illness for a moment, and her laughter fills the room.)

Ena: (Laughing) You’re so strange! Your words really lightened my heart; you’ve truly helped me.

Niall: (Smiling) Spending time with you is such a pleasure, and I’ll always be here for you, no matter what your condition is.

(A strong bond begins to form between them, and the scent of love starts to grow slowly.)

(The next day, Niall takes Ena to another big hospital, where a renowned doctor examines her. Niall continues to be her support at every step. Time passes, and their friendship gradually turns into love.)

Niall: (Gently) Ena, your courage and struggle have taught me what really matters in life. You lack nothing; the love in your life feels like a part of mine.

Ena: (With love and gratitude in her eyes) Your love has filled my life with a color no one else ever did.

(Their journey of love begins, and Ena’s health gradually improves. Niall stands by her at every moment, her pillar of strength.)

(Though weakened by chemotherapy, Ena always finds strength in Niall. One day, Niall proposes to her, and in his eyes, there’s love and unwavering support.)

Niall: (With determination) Ena, I’ll be with you through every hardship of your life. Would you like to be a part of my life?

Ena: (Surprised) Niall... I’ll always be grateful for your love, but I’m so weak... Will you be happy with me in this life?

Niall: (With love) Your weakness is not a burden; your courage is my strength. Together, we’ll face every challenge.

(Ena agrees to marry Niall, and their relationship heads toward a new and beautiful beginning.)

Today, they are living a happy and fulfilling life. Ena Falchi has shifted to Galway with her husband, Niall Matthews, and they live their new life to the fullest. Ena’s blood is changed every year, and despite her illness, she is happy and content, always supported by Niall Matthews, who continues to be her strength.

They both work in a prestigious company, Keogh Accountancy Group at Liosban Business Park, Tuam Rd, Galway, holding important positions. Their hard work and dedication keep them on the path to success, and their love for each other continues to grow.

In the evening, in their home, a beautiful small world created by the fusion of Finland and Ireland, their one-and-a-half-year-old, beautiful daughter, who seems like an angel descended from heaven, eagerly waits for them. Both parents spend their entire day’s fatigue playing with her, and before her innocent face, all the worries of the world fade away.

The love of these three fills their home in Galway with the light of heaven, where every day brings a new promise, and every night their prayers for each other bind them together.

This unforgettable story will always remain in their hearts, for they know that love, determination, and being there for each other are the greatest successes in life.

If you ever visit the city of Galway in Ireland, on any night, you will see the light of heaven descending upon a house—this is the house where the borders of Finland and Ireland meet. -Dr. Shakira Nandani
