At twenty-four, she was nine months pregnant when she met him. Her husband introduced him as a childhood friend who had traveled to America since his youth. From the first moment their eyes met, she felt shaken to her core as if hit by a sudden earthquake, and all her warm feelings for her husband vanished in an instant! She was embarrassed by her reaction, placing her hands over her pregnant belly as if trying to bring herself to reason. Why was she trembling like a leaf in a storm whenever she looked at this stranger? Yet, her female intuition alerted her that the stranger friend was equally disturbed, unable to take his eyes off her despite the many faces around them. What can explain these confusing and illogical experiences in life!
