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.
