It's midnight, I was wandering the streets of a small town, my name is Saulo and I'm 30 years old, I'm an immigrant in a country that opened the doors to new opportunities, I work as a gardener..
Every day when I leave work around 6 pm, I get home to shower, eat and watch a little news, until it is 12 midnight, you may wonder why until midnight, the truth is a custom that I adopted here to go out to a coffee shop to have a coffee and read a good book, then I walk for several minutes more and go home to rest.
One of the many nights that I was about to perform the same routine, I started to think, what is the reason to always do the same thing! It was something that always began to turn around in my head and until I could understand or at least that's what I think, it's because I have the hope that fate will allow me to find the woman I will love with all my life! well that's what I understood, so I didn't waste any more time and I went to the same place as always.
It has been several nights that I do the same thing and nothing different happens, so I decided to do something different from what I had been doing every night, today I decided to make food for 30 people in a state of street, I leave home with all the food placed each in a container and their respective cutlery I'm getting into the car that cost me so much to acquire but I do not care if I get damaged fulfilling a beautiful work of humanity, Once I have everything ready I go to a super market to buy 30 bottles of drinking water, after that I started to stop in each of the people that I observed that are in a state of street, after doing this work several nights I had already forgotten why I started to do it and I really feel very good with what I do.
One day at work while I was watering the plants, a thought came to my mind.
That love is not sought after, since love only finds you when you least expect it.
Since that thought came to my mind, I see things differently. I continue to do my social work, which I do with a lot of love..
Several months have passed, I continue with my work and at night taking food to the most needy, but this time a young woman that many times we met in that cafeteria, to which there are times that I go for a coffee until today, well the young woman is called Veronica, she approached me and expressed her concern for the work that I have been doing with people in street situation, clearly I agreed to support me.
And so the days went by, and without realizing it, Veronica conquered my heart with her attentions and not only for the work we were doing, but for the attention and care she was giving me, Several days ago I had given him copies of the keys to my house and when I arrived I found a note on a well served and beautifully decorated table, and so it was that little by little I fell in love.
The following month, on my day off, I prepared a dinner to propose to Veronica, I called her on the phone and invited her to come to my house, when she arrived and found such a table decorated with flowers and the food I prepared, pasta with Neapolitan sauce and meatballs, red wine. We sat down at the table to start dinner, while we were having dinner our eyes crossed several times and accompanied with sincere smiles, after several minutes we finished dinner and we started to talk, that's when I proposed to her. That's when she proposed to me, She said that since the day I entered the cafeteria for the first time she had been captivated by my presence and that if she accepts to be my girlfriend when I looked at the clock it was just a few seconds before midnight.
It was when Veronica got up from the chair and asked me if I wouldn't give her a kiss and I answered her how do you think I don't want to kiss you if you know I'm dying to do it, when we started kissing it was already midnight and in my city it is said that if you kiss your loved one at midnight, your love would last a lifetime and you would be happy.
