THE REUNION OF DESTINIES
One Friday evening there was a big party at Petyo’s place. The host of the party saw the young and
beautiful Victoria through the crowd. He introduced himself to her and they gradually fell in love.
They had been dating for two years, and although she was five years younger than him, they decided to

only 13 so the bosses didn't take him. They offered him to recommend the restaurant and in return he
would receive 3 levs a day. When Igor already had a job he continued to walk around. Suddenly he
saw a hostel so he decided to spend the nights there. One day he was at the restaurant. He saw one of
the waitresses who looked exactly like him. For a moment he thought she could be his mother. He took
