Imperfect Strangers

THE CRYSTAL OF PROPHECY
When you meet the person, who becomes your spouse because your train was late that day, this is a serendipitous event. But that was neither the case for the Engineer, Al Afonja, nor his spouse-to-be.
There was a prophecy spoken by three mystic women about Al's union, a future which must come to pass.
In the labyrinth of romances and existential passions, Al formed, normed, performed and transformed. Now, who does Al choose or who chooses Al?
After all, you cannot have them all. You win some and you lose some. That, until now, appears to be the story of humanity. Could there be a reason for anyone to think twice about this truism?
From another plane or context, could he look at love differently?
He must be crystal clear!
