An Italian Mafia Love Story

She was a simple girl from an average family, has a sweetheart whom she was going to marry.. Pretty, girl-next-door looks.He was the only son from the most powerful Mafia family, dark, handsome and stocky..

Together with other young ladies, she was summoned before his family who wanted to get him a wife, someone who's proper, from a good average family so that their reputation can be elevated and reduce the authorities' tracking of them.

They selected her, and there's nothing she can go for refusal would mean difficulties for her family. Either The Family could murder her family and make it seem like an accident, or they could make them go bankrupt and desperate.

So she married him. She doesnt know what he does for a living or what other things he does outside of work. Although he is aloof and not affectionate, he does show concern for her in his own way.

Like there was once she was staying with her parents for a week and she got sick during that time, he took the time to buy and deliver the medicine to her. Also fed her himself. Was then the mother reminded her that she must tell her sweetheart, that she is now married. She broke down then cos she realised she has not told him yet, and doesnt know how to tell him. There's no way she wont break his heart. Was extremely upset at why life and fate treat her this way.

She called him to break the news. As predicted, his heart broke. Their lives are forever changed by this whims of The Family. And they did not want to keep in contact after that.

15 yrs later, she received news that her husband had died. Again, how, she did not know. At age 37, she is now a widow.

One day, she met her sweetheart on the streets. Things were awkard between them at first. But then, he learnt of the death. He never got married cos he has always been waiting for her, and she is the only one for him. So finally, they can be together again...

Woke up with a strange ache in my heart. cos in the dream, I was the gal and moo is the sweetheart. Ended up wondering what the dream signified, as i usually do when i'm personally involved in the dream. It's so real and i know we both will feel the same heartbreak if something like this happen to us in real life...

Dreaming of having a 3rd party, hmm.. I know next yr, i have peach blossom luck, or curse. So is this a premonition?
