Immerse yourself. Walk along on the hidden road to Clasineah. Take those eyes that see, and see ... Look at the invisible, and see what is there, all what the eye can not see. A writing to be born. To come into existence because to be given away. The writing is the meaning. The story is a gift, returned to the one who told it to me, the one to whom it belongs. No worldly messages that can carry so far. No worldly words it can be written in. No spoken languages that can sound so loud. Look at the story and look at the story and you will see you. There, in the emptiness, where only nothing can exist, where there is no time and memories can not be, the past and present melt into one, and the past has never been. Sharing one smile, one soul and one heart. A child runs and hides far away, a world away. This is the story of a smile.
A journey that crosses the boundaries of our world. A story and a novel involving drama, romance and the depth and power of the human mind. Looking for a lost child while becoming deeply interconnected with Maria. A narrative that explores themes of survival, a world far away, interconnected souls, a belief, and the power of the human connection across worlds. Inner beliefs forged in hardship. The unfading force of one day and the smile it captured. One day. Maybe. One day. One smile.
Maria is watching him as he descends from the train, how he turns and starts walking towards her. She notices that there is something different about him. Something changed when he was in his country. Something that he did not mention in his letters. She suddenly feels nervous. One teardrop slowly forms in the corner of his eye. The raindrops catch his one drop and take it along with them, hidden amongst them, that is what he wishes for. Maria keeps staring at him, thinking, examining him. She does not know why, but she has to stay with him. Do not let him go. Pay attention. Keep an eye on him. She whispers to him, "when you come back to me, the first you will sense is my being. The first you will feel is my body. The first you will see is me." Maria will not show her sadness to Niko. Her sister will ask their parents to forgive Maria. Maria saves Niko.
