LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT PROLOGUE
Isn’t it beautiful how love and destiny orchestrate their little song-and-dance? Cindy had just completed her master’s degree and had returned to her native Germany from Copenhagen only to found out that all her peers had automatically adopted the mindset of being grown-ups and were systematically embarking on the sensible path of getting jobs, building up their careers and earning money.Why Cindy on the other hand, had opted for a volunteering job at an NGO, which is something most people do when they are a little bit younger, perhaps fresh out of college. And even stranger, out of all the options available, she'd applied for opportunities in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or Georgia, the one in Europe, in that order of preference. She would be gone for a whole year.Her choice of opting for those places was not at all rational and she have no idea why put that region on her radar in the first place other than perhaps curiosity about little known post-soviet era countries.She would be ste
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT CHAPTER 1
Gerard awakening was not so subtle. It was about two and a half years ago when he was living in Lebanon, he’s home town. He was on his laptop studying when his friend Fabian dropped by one evening. There were having coffee and chit chatting about his girlfriend, his friends and his life in France. He was finishing up on his computer when suddenly, out of absolutely nowhere, a voice popped right into his head and asked, “What are you doing here? What the hell are you doing here?”He sat there casually carrying on his conversation with Fabian as he quietly responded to this fantom voice in his head, he’s about to finish his degree in business and management. He also just finished his studies in psychology and he’s working while preparing to go to the UK for his masters degree… And what the hell?!” But there it was again the same voice, the same question, “What the hell are you doing here?”He had been meditating regularly for about five years at that point so his senses were rather o

He volunteered in a dog shelter in Turkey for a month and had a short relationship there where he experienced cohabitation for the first time in his life. He’s soul was asking more questions and the universe was giving him the opportunity to discover the answers within himself . He was able to look at things in an unorthodox light and this enabled him to learn a lot from that experience. His time in Turkey was coming to an end and his aim was to do Vipassana, a ten day silent meditation retreat, which was taking place in Armenia in May, about a month later. He actually had many other reasons to go to Armenia besides this retreat. His roots are Armenian and he had been playing with the idea of setting up an eco-village one day which was one of the main reasons that he had started volunteering in eco-villages in the first place and he had people who could help him if he was to do this there. Plus, it’s a great communist country and also very affordable. Anything was possible!Meanw

Cindy meanwhile, was done catching up with her acquaintance and was feeling quite drained. It was now well into the evening and heading home and getting some rest was really enticing. The only thing holding her tired feet back from heading that way was her friend Evelyn’s photo walk event which was taking place that night. She was really not feeling up to going for many reasons: It’d been a really long day, she didn’t have her camera with her, except for the one on her phone, it was already dark, She didn’t feel like walking, and, perhaps more importantly, She wasn’t in the brightest of moods… Should She just go home? Or should She head to the photo walk?Gerard Just around that time, he would have been browsing Facebook. He had already clicked ‘interested’ on Facebook for Evelyn’s photo walk event before so it had popped up again on his notifications. It was around half past eight or a quarter to nine, and he was questioning whether he really wanted to quickly pull himself togethe
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT CHAPTER 4
Gerard opened up so fully, so deeply that it caught Cindy off guard. She would never have thought someone she just met would open up this way and go this deep.He had told her about his ideals, about living a moneyless life and how he’d sometimes had to sleep in his tent because of his beliefs. That was what floored her the honesty in it, the truthfulness, being so straightforward and not disguising any part of his experience, admitting what he’d been going through, especially the part about having to be without a roof over his head sometimes. Cindy was trying to digest everything.When you take the decision to step away from the system and live moneyless, you have to be ready to walk the talk and accept all the things that might come with that. Life won’t be so kind and easy on you and you need to face reality and accept it. No one will come to you and say here are a hundred bucks, you have to be realistic.Cindy thought to herself It was not just the openness and the story itself, i

It was quite crowded. Most of the people from the crowd were sitting on one table and the rest of the tables were filled with locals. They both found a table for themselves. He took a chair and she automatically sat next to him without question or without him having to ask her. He was being his self, she was being herself, they had found each other and there, they were sitting next to each other very willingly, naturally. No games were played.Then Evelyn came by and told them that the exhibit was starting so they went to look at the pictures.When they came back they ended up having to blend on a table full of Georgians as there was nowhere else to sit by then. Cindy and Gerard now ended up sitting directly opposite each other. It was a huge table and they had a lot of distance between them. It would be very difficult to hear each other so they were having very nice conversations with the people around them.Georgians are very hospitable so they were offering them wine. Both Cind
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT CHAPTER 6
Cindy was realizing that her attraction towards him was that everything checked out on paper and was picture-perfect—he was very connected to nature, was a responsible person with a stable job, and just fit all the criteria that someone normal would go for. And She didn’t want to admit to herself that She was not looking for something normal.Cindy has been meditating for years and this was something that She held very dear to her. She had never shared this thing that was such an important part of her life with him and he had never cared enough to inquire about things that made her tick. This was already a red flag on both counts but She had completely ignored it. Meanwhile, on the other hand She just couldn’t help but notice how different things were with Gerard. Although they had only just met, everything about him, their connection, their conversations, that surreal click them both felt, everything was so palpable, so incredibly real. It wasn’t just a casual crossing of paths, the

Gerard was wearing your favorite ‘t-shirt.’ his favorite t-shirt is kind of torn. It’s not appropriate for any occasion but he love it. She don’t think it should even be called a t-shirt because it is not. He guess technically it’s not a t-shirt.She has been raised to be respectful towards others, plus who is She to judge someone else’s appearance? If he’s happy, She is happy, so She didn’t comment. She do have to admit though, She is very happy that t-shirt never got to see another summer this year. They both said hello and headed off to the bazaar to this one shop that he had been going to for a year and a half now. The sweet old ladies there knew him very well. For Cindy It was actually a very awkward situation that followed.He has brought his friends there before but this was a different situation and they felt it. They exchanged the usual Russian-Geogian pleasantries then all attention was focused on her.Lamazia gogo they were saying, beautiful girl. Then they said deda mea
