A Touch of Spice Page #5

good does come out of this.

Keep dreaming... Grandpa

won't come tomorrow.

You think he'll come

for an arranged marriage?

I'll tell you something and

finally get it in your heads...

Grandpa won't come tomorrow

and never intended to do so.

Grandpa didn't come

all these years...

because he didn't want to.

He would never

leave Constantinople.

None of us would,

for anything in the world.

Constantinople is called

"The City"...

because it's the most

beautiful city in the world.

When we were deported...

the Turkish officer

whispered in my ear...

that if I became a Muslim,

me, not you...

that we could stay and

no one would ever harm us.

Do you want to know what

haunts me all these years?

That I didn't say NO

immediately.

For five seconds, I actually

thought about it...

May the Lord forgive me, those were

the worst 5 seconds of my life...

Full of music and sunsets

and conversations...

In our minds, Greece was more

beautiful than "The City"...

more beautiful than what we

actually found when we came.

God forgive me...

But keep in mind that grandpa

won't be coming tomorrow.

Grandpa!

It's me, Fanis...

I'm here Grandpa...

I'm here...

You are the Ressurection and the

Rest of Your servant Vasilis.

Jesus our Lord,

we praise Your glory...

and Your eternal Father and

Your Holy and life giving Spirit...

now and forever and

for the centuries to come.

God of the spirits

and of all the living...

the One who through death

gave life to the world...

Rest the soul of

Your servant Vasilis...

in a bright and resting place...

where no sorrow

or tear shall exist...

All his sins, whether spoken,

thought of or actioned...

You kind and loving Lord,

please forgive...

as there is no man that

lived without sin.

A little...

In our cuisine, the desserts are

the epilogue of every fairy tale.

In the end the hero's feared

emotions are realised...

The desserts soften the sounds which

interrupt the celebratory meal.

I took the train and

came right away.

I didn't want to

miss her birthday.

I didn't know you had a guest,

otherwise I would have told you.

The train to Ankara via Eschi

Sehir departs in 3 minutes.
