I want to tell you some story that has happened in small Spanish town called Algorfa. There lived a family Ramos: father, mother and lovely daughter Maria. She was nineteen years old when she fell in love young man. His name was Phillip and he was a little bit older than Maria. He was American and he came to Algorfa to visit his relatives. It was mutual and empyrean love. They spent together three lovely weeks. And when it was time for leaving, Phillip asked Maria to go with him and made a proposal of marriage to her. They were blind with love and they didn't care about future. And Maria gave an agreement to the proposal. Maria's mother was scared for her daughter. But she wanted her daughter would be happy and with sad heart she blessed Maria. But as for her father, he was totally against her leaving, against her love and against Phillip. He didn't allow to Maria to leave the town. He was of an old school. He wanted that Maria would be wife of a Spanish man. He didn't want a medley of races. And he said that if she would leave the house he would pronounce a curse upon her and never turn her from the door. She was hurt with these words, but for the sake of love she shot Niagara and run away with Phillip from Algorfa. Maria's father was raving with anger. His wife tried to persuade him, but everything was in vane, he kept his ground. He even forbade her to give and receive calls from Maria. In America Maria was welcomed in Phillips family she found a job and soon they got marriage. After a year Maria delivered lovely twins. Once she came to her native town. She wanted to see her parents to acquaint them with their grandsons and tell them that there was everything perfect in her life and that she was the happiest wife and mother, but her father didn't allow her enter the house. Several years Maria did a lot of attempts to make peace with her father, she begged for apology, but nothing could move him. He couldn't forgive his daughter - betrayer. The father of Ramos family died when he was sixty years old from heart attack and Maria felt blame for her father's death and that she couldn't farewell with him. Sometimes life is very cruel with us, only movies have happy end.
