Story behind Joan's Rainbow Cake

There was once a french women Joan, so madly, truly and deeply in love with a soldier who was fighting
for the Second World War (1939-1945).

The soldier informed Joan about his arrival, so to surprise her love on the day of his arrival, she baked a
delicious strawberry cake and awaited for him, but he never turned up.

Little disappointed, on the next day Joan baked a pista cake, anticipating her love would return at least
today, but the soldier did not return.

Still Joan did not give up, she joined the two cakes with cream and continued to wait.

On the third day she baked an orange cake and was excited that any moment her loving soldier would
return, but he did not return the whole of third day.

Joan was extremely disappointed and went to bed that night with a heavy heart.

The next morning the soldier was at Joan's door with a bunch of chocolates to surprise her.

Joan then joined all the three cakes, melted the chocolates the soldier had got, poured it over the cake
and they both ate it happily, celebrating their love.

I heard this story from a Tamil film (Un Samayal Arayil). I liked it very much that I wanted to share. What
surprised me more was Joan's patience...

Passing through that waiting time...


Those minutes... those hours... second by second..

They would have almost been like 'Forever' !!!
