Stories From Kiribati

27th of May 1997 was the first day of my date. I was in love with the girl named Joana. She was from Cuba and she looked very beautiful to me. Honestly, I loved her very much without knowing how much she loved me. I was indeed a man of high status and position. However I hid my full information from her, so that she loved me for who I was instead of what I was.

 Time and days passed and my love for her grew more and more. Then something happened – her attitude changed suddenly. I knew she had her own reason thus I could only guess. Maybe she hated me or got bored of me. What else came into my mind was – she loved someone else! It was a tough question for me.

One silent night, I was bored, so I made up my mind to take a walk. I got my shoes then slowly left. As I was walking, I saw two people coming towards me. They were just around my age. As they came closer, about 10 meters away, I recognized the girl. So I hid my face and ran back home.

On my way home I met a girl with eyes shining brightly. The street light revealed her lips so red like red roses. She looked at me with sensational eyes. Then we began talking. Her name was Britney. I now had found a new girlfriend!

I told Britney everything about me – my status and position. She was happy being with me. When Joana heard about our wedding, she came and begged me to forgive her - but I just couldn’t forgive her for what she had done.
