An exciting Moment in Warsaw



On my last day in Warsaw, I want to take the lift and go up the Palace of Culture and science, a huge building in city centre. From here, there are magnificent views over the city.
In only 30 seconds, I can hardly believe it, but I am soon on the Restaurant level, 30th floor.
 I go around the restaurants structure along passages with view platforms taking panoramas pictures of the city, after that I take seat on a bench to relax a few minutes.

In front of me, there is one of the outlook platforms, on it there is a young man taking photos. Suddenly a man with a guitar appears and stops in front him, starting playing his guitar singing: “Halleluiah, Halleluiah, halleluiahhhh…..” Sure, a musician that wants to make some money here, I think.
I feel lucky that he did not stay in front of me, because I want to relax for a while.
The young man seems to ignore him; he goes on taking photos from the platform, while the man with guitar continues singing even louder now: “Halleluiah, halleluiah, halleluiahhhhhhhhhhh…..”

I am now curious how the scene will end. Suddenly a young woman approach the young man on the platform, maybe his girlfriend. It seems that she feels uneasy, with the man singing close by, I see her giving him some money to let him go. The artist takes the money and puts it in his pocket, but he remains there going on singing: “Halleluiah, halleluiah, halleluiah, halleluiah..”

Now the man on the platform comes down. I think he might now ask the performer to go away, but instead of this, I see him taking a red flower from his pocket, kneeing down in front of his girl friend and asking her, if she wants to marry him.

I am very surprised, even more surprised is the woman that now puts her hands on her face screaming: “Ohh my God!”
With tears in her eyes, she puts her arms around his neck saying: “YES!”
I understand now the implication of the musician that is still singing: Halleluiah, halleluiah,  halleluiahhhhh...

At once a small group, women and men, with a bottle of champagne and glasses join the couple and the man with the guitar clinging glasses for the love declaration.

Love has no borders. Congratulations to this unknown couple. I wish them a happy marriage and that the nice woman may only weep for more moments of joy and never for sorrow.
