Translated Love

Translated Love is a tragic, emotionally grounded work of fiction about love that survives distance, language, and time itself, but not without cost.

Mateo, a quiet young man from the mountains of the Dominican Republic, lives a life shaped by solitude and routine until a powerful shooting star alters his existence, sending him forward in time to America. There, he meets Aisha, a dark-skinned Black woman whose world could not be more different from his own. They fall in love despite a fundamental barrier. He speaks Spanish. She speaks English. Technology becomes their bridge, but translation fails where emotion grows complicated.

Their relationship is built through patience, misunderstanding, and effort. They marry. They build a life. They are happy. And then, years later, time intervenes again. Another shooting star returns Mateo to the mountains he once left, erasing him from Aisha's life without explanation. She never learns what happened. He never finds a way back.

Translated Love is not a story about fate saving love. It is a story about love existing even when time refuses to be kind. It explores loss, permanence, and the quiet devastation of unanswered endings.
