Sarah’s love story

One Saturday, Sarah woke up early. She had breakfast with her family, she had a quick shower, and
left home to work.

On her way to the office, a handsome man asked her if she knew where the closest bank was. She told him
where it was. The man asked her if she could go with him to the bank and to have a cup of coffee
afterwards. She said yes.

Sarah and the man had coffee. After that, they went to the cinema and then to a disco. They danced for 3
hours. Sarah didn’t ask the man’s name; she didn’t add him on Facebook or WhatsApp. At midnight, the
man said he had to go to the bathroom, but he didn’t come back.

Sarah fell in love with the man; she wanted the man to come back. She waited for him for 5 years, but
he didn’t come back. Sarah had lost all hope about love. She prayed to God frequently.

One day, Sarah was waiting in line in the bank when a man came up to her and asked her what time it was.
His voice sounded familiar; it was the same man; his name was Joseph.
