Advent Ball, December 12th


Jacinto married young to his childhood sweetheart. Both the families of the couple knew each other well and the marriage was almost a "taken for granted". And So they married caring very much for each other, but more like brother and sister than two people who are head over heals in love. But life goes on and eventually they had two kids, a pleaseant marriage, and were friends; and as friends one day after a family dinner, they confessed to each other. She was brushing her long hair with sad eyes shining in the mirror, he looked at her while taking off his tie and asked her: are you happy? I mean are you happy with the life we have had? have your dreams come true?... she thought long and hard: I know what you mean and I believe I could ask you the same questions... we have had a pleasant life, but neither of us has done what we wanted to do, our hearts are still young and we can still make a choice....
They chose to divorce... with a lot of pain and nostalgia but both still think it was the best choice for their happiness, there is only one life and one may choose to live it to the fullest...
