Nikos
ОглавлениеOh, Cyprus, if only you knew how I love you! Y Kiprou mou, se agapo!1
And my love for you doesn’t extend only to
my visiting you over and over again.
My love means that I am to devote my whole life to you.
***
Rhodes, 1821.
“Ermina! Come here! Your breakfast is served!”
That was my Mother. She always cooked meals for the whole family.
We were five in our family: Father, Mother, two my sisters and me. We were ordinary peasants. My family lived in Rhodes, in a small village called Archangelos.
We lived at the time when both Rhodes and Cyprus was under the Ottoman Empire. Although we lived a peaceful life, it was quite a hard time for common people. But something changed my life forever. As it’s said, one day can change everything. And I had to be grateful to this “something”. Because otherwise, I wouldn’t have become what I am now – the happiest person. I need to be thankful to this change.
