“She was no fool. She had never expected the future before them to be perfect. She knew life had its cycles. There would be War and there would be Peace. There would be victories as well as defeats, joys as well as sorrows. Griefs and celebrations would have their place, love and hate would have their times. Nesrin knew this and she accepted it. But, they did not matter. She did not need a happily ever after to be happy. She didn't live there, in the future. She lived here, in the present, where eternity touched the human soul. It was all that mattered.
 
And right here, right now, all was right with the world.”
