My name is Anna. I am thirty-nine years old, and I am a cardiac surgeon. For years, I have spent my days saving lives. I learned to remain strong in the face of pain, fear, and even death.
Yet there was one thing I had never managed to repair: my own heart.
Twenty years earlier, I had left my hometown after a love story that had deeply affected me. I had sworn never to return.
But after my father’s death, I had to return to the old family home. I simply planned to settle the last matters, sell the property, and leave for good.
I didn’t know that this house would bring me back to my past. As soon as I entered, I saw him. 😮😮
Paul: My first love.😮
For a few seconds, I stood motionless, unable to say a word.
— Paul…?
He looked at me with the same emotion I was feeling.
— Anna…
I thought he had forgotten me. Yet his eyes told me exactly the opposite. I then asked him the question that had haunted me for twenty years — why had he never written to me?
When I was young, I regularly sent him letters. I told him about my dreams, my days, and my hopes. But I had never received a single reply.
Paul turned pale.
— But I wrote to you, Anna. Dozens of times.
I stared at him in disbelief. Then we realized that something was wrong, that there was a hidden intention behind all of this… and it was right there in that house that we discovered something that left us both frozen in place.😮😮

While searching for answers in the old house, we discovered a wooden box hidden behind a wardrobe.
Inside were dozens of letters. Our letters.
But at the bottom of the box, there was also an old document and a letter written by someone we both knew.
As I read it, my hands began to tremble. After twenty years, I finally discovered why Paul and I had been separated.
And above all, I understood that my father had hidden a truth from me that would change my entire life. I thought I had returned to sell a house.
In reality, I had returned to find my past… and the man who had never stopped waiting for me.
We decided to stop running away.
We confronted my father with the evidence left in the box, and then we decided to give ourselves a second chance. I sold the house, but I did not leave Paul. After twenty years, we finally began to live the story that fate had stolen from us.
