Life can be even more unpredictable than the plot of a movie. Even situations as unpleasant as spending the night in a train station or a rocky divorce can lead to a happy ending with a fateful encounter.
A friend shared a flat with her neighbor for several years. In the end, he decided to buy her share of the apartment. The money for her share of the flat was in a safe deposit box in the bank. And the day before getting it, she sent me a message saying that she had appendicitis and was undergoing surgery. She asked me to close the deal and make sure her neighbor didn’t take advantage. You can imagine the mood with which I greeted him at the bank. He still remembers my harsh demeanor. Oh, and we’ve been married for five years and have two children.
An acquaintance of mine went through a difficult divorce. She was left without a flat and spent a year and a half in a terrible depression. Finally, she bought a flat on the ground floor. After 2 years, her computer broke down, and she asked her neighbor on the 4th floor to come and take a look at it. They have been together ever since and can’t understand how they could ever live without each other. Now they eat on the ground floor and sleep on the 4th floor.
An acquaintance of mine had a difficult divorce, she was thrown out of the house in the middle of the night with just her suitcase.She went to the train station to wait for daybreak and figure out what to do next. An ugly man approached her and invited her for a coffee, and she told him her sad story. The man offered her to go with him to a neighboring town where he had urgent business to attend. She told him she would wait for him at the train station. She was going to leave but fell asleep because she was so tired. And he was very happy that she had waited for him. They have been married for many years.
I met my future husband on the phone when an acquaintance of mine accidentally gave me the wrong number: she got one digit wrong. A couple of days later, I wrote to her and asked her what she was doing, to which she replied: «Fixing my car.» I was delighted and wrote her back: «What an interesting hobby you have, girl.» And he replied: «Actually, I’m a man.» So we called each other, went on a date, and we’ve been together for 13 years. Our son is 11 years old.
