Serendipity

There's this prologue in the novel "Family Romance" by John Lanchester which best describes family life:

'Happy families aren't especially alike , anymore than unhappy ones are unalike. The falsehood lies in the idea that a family is either happy or unhappy, often intensely so and often at the same time. A sense of safety can be a feeling of trappedness for some, a delight in routine can be suffocating boredom to others. A parent's humor and unpredictability can be a maddeningly misplaced childlikeness. I was both happy and unhappy as a child, just as my parents were both happy and unhappy , and just as almost everyone else is.

All families have secrets. Sometimes they are the sort that a family keeps from outsiders, sometimes they are the sort that a family keeps from itself, sometimes they are a sort whose presence no one consciously admits. But they are almost always there. People have a deep need for secrets. The question is what to do with them and when to let them go. '

Fictions are not my major.

Telling a story as it goes, as simple as one can, is what this is all about.
A tale based on memories that might be correct and might not be totally correct as memories sometimes have a tendency to alter itself as time goes by..

Looking back in time, our tale is so incredible that it might have been a page taken from one of the fictions.

We who have different interests and came from different worlds.
Never would I have thought, even in my dreams, that one day our paths would cross. We would have the same feelings and the same love for the same things..
