The story begs the question of whether fate is a man-made concept, a product of the human imagination, or a reality. Whichever side the reader favors, the story of Carlos and Yasmin can make him a believer or not one at all. The question of what role this concept plays in the daily lives of the characters in the story, and beyond, hangs on feverishly throughout its theme. It in fact controls it and makes it inevitable that such question be answered. Carlos and Yasmin possessed the ingredients for a long lasting love, one that could be truly exceptional, one that could never have been if not for fate, or perhaps one that never was because of it. An intriguing story.
